Pretty sure this is the first time you’ve posted in this draft or any other draft this year, so *something* made you decide to show up today. Which, great, welcome. But I was just pointing out that deciding which people who randomly voted for the first time count and which don’t is a slippery slope.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
it has all the feel of a troll. Idk do whatever you want.
*Fwiw I've said multiple times T has done the worst job as draft commish but this is a nightmare and I don't envy handling this
I'm inclined to agree with not counting these votes but I really don't think I have standing here without doing a prop. If any team who is on the receiving end of these votes would like me not to count them, I can do that.
You can take off jackson and flanz votes if you want. I think everyone else votes were legit.

I'll justify if you reallllly want, but I don't feel like it right now. I put so much effort into this draft the last few months only to get punted in the first round, it's a little hard to put any more work in.
Why anyone did this on the first day of class is beyond me. I'd say it's been great seeing old names but they've still been posting in the private forums for years now.
Doubtful I get a vote in before the deadline but good luck to all y'all involved.
I definitely don't deserve happiness, but it blows my mind that all of you hate fear.
lol wait im sorry, is this directed at me? did you read my actual post before i joke-edited it?
Sorry, I read your post correctly and responded poorly. The royal "all of you" is what I meant. So everyone that isn't you. An admittedly obscure use of the word "you."

Just curious to hear what you guys think of the new board and how it looks/works, and especially curious to hear what you guys think of the group PM feature...just wanted to hear everyone's honest thoughts/feedback

Inforoo Influencer Totally Robbed of TIN 2016
Well, finally narrowed mine down to ten. Here they are:
10/Judy Garland, Westbury Music Fair, NY, 6/16/67. She was clearly drunk and kept forgetting her lyrics but we didn't care - we loved her! The best surprise was that we didn't think there would be an opener - and Nancy Walker came out and did a stand up routine that slayed. I think this was the show that got her noticed for the Bounty paper towel commercials.
9/Cher, the Seth Green Bar Mitzvah, Potomac, MD, 5/12/82. I don't care for Cher but it was a great Bar Mitzvah.
8/Nat King Cole, Carnegie Hall, 11/4/49. Johnny Miller was sick that night and we were nervous they'd just be a duo, but Charlie Harris got his first shot on double stand up that night, and Miller never came back. Cole hadn't gone pop yet, so it was nice and jazzy that night.
7/Leopold Stokowski, Boston University Symphony Hall, 11/19/54. I had season tickets but had no idea they'd be doing the American East Coast premiere of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" that night. Rowdy stuff for the time, lots of laughs, and the drinks were flowing. Stokes was on his game that night, but the strings section was total amateur hour and Joan Cavicchi couldn't hold a candle to Marlena von Buritz - still it was a landmark concert.
6/Johnny Cash, Sacramento, CA, 1/12/68. I got super lucky here. I happened to be at the El Rancho Motel the day before Cash's Folsom County Prison show - it was a small hotel and I noticed the Statler Brothers coming back from the hotel buffet. I followed them into the hotel ballroom where Cash and Perkins were talking about whether Perkins should open with "Blue Suede Shoes" or wait til Cash was done and they would all do it as an encore. I stood in the back and watched the whole rehearsal. Magic.
5/Josephine Baker, Theatre des Champs-Elysees, 11/5/25. This show was hot. My first time in Paris and she'd only been doing La Revue Negre for about a month - but I was told this was the first time she'd performed wearing only a feather skirt. Ou la la. Also, her pet snake, Kiki, was on stage with her and it freaked me out a little bit.
4/Little Richard, the Everly Brothers, and Bo Diddley, Hammersmith Apollo, 11/3/63. Blues and American R&B were taking off in England in '63, and I happened to be in London for this triple bill. Little Richard stole the show even though there was a fourth band added to play first at the last minute. A little English group called the Rolling Stones, who I don't think had even released their first album yet. They sucked. The crowd booed them off yelling "we want Diddley, we want Diddley." Which I've been told is where the expression "Diddley-squat" originated.
3/Men Without Hats, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, 8/15/87. The Pop Goes The World tour - 'nuff said. Oh except Ian Anderson showed up to play flute.
2/Elvis Presley, Pontiac Silverdome, New Year's Eve, '75. Happened to be in Detroit for the holidays and ended up getting two tickets off a guy in a bar who didn't want to ring in the New Year "with that smutty hip shaker."
1/Frank Sinatra, Copa Room of the Sands, Las Vegas, 1966. When Count Basie started playing the first notes of "It Was a Very Good Year," I wept.

I hope you knew I made that whole post up. I will say, though, I was quite proud of this one at the time. Had some real boomers pretty, pretty jealous until they figured it out.
this is my first time ever voting in a draft so let me say first of all that I am delighted just by reading the words “A Very She & Him Christmas” on a mock lineup.
Anyway this was very hard but: Sangdeto Dragonpit Frazzledrip Jaz/Fred.
