I screwed up the links, sorry, so what?! it gets you to his page anyway.

This is what got me hooked on the weirdness that is contained in Outgoingsignals.vox.com (and not even contained since he occasionally leaves his blog to comment elsewhere) last year this time.

PS---I voted for the Duane Allman (which is why I put it in orange). I'm considering switching to the Thoreau, if it has a chance. I think I am remaining in the Duane camp though. I usually stick with my gut (even if some weekends my gut doesn't stick with me, but that's another story).

This is a public vote, you don't have to be in his neighborhood or anything. What the hell else do you have to do today?

VOTING CLOSES TOMORROW, Friday at like 5 pm or something. Details in the links, so click already.

Oh, for Chrissakes, Ms. Pants. It has to be PROUST.

but why?

Because I'm a horrible snob! Because though a few have dared to come forth with a waxed handle bar mustache, if M-----l would go forth with one that was more descreet, he would surely stand alone.

And there's the whole M----l instead of M-----l thing. It just makes so much sense.

Well, the M----l/M-----l thing sure is neat. And, maybe he would take to the waxed mustachio thing so much that it would change his appearance forever and he'd be one of those strange obsessive waxed handlebar mustache guys, but I am sticking with the Duane.

I'm stubborn like that. Anti-peer pressure.

Also, I have no idea what the word "descreet" means, so really I can't even succumb to peer pressure since I am that far below!

I guess we'll finally get to see what kind of pull you have with your neighbors. Will any of them follow your links? If so, will they vote with you or pick their own favorite? What if all your neighbors choose the Homer? I don't even think I could shave that one.

....like, none, especially this week, it's deadsville. You'll be lucky if just one of my peeps meanders over your way.

You already got one of your neighbors to stop by. And Sixbucks showed up. That might have been your doing, too.

Wow, my awesomeness knows no bounds! Well, I suppose its bounds are slightly expanded from a few minutes ago at least...

Don't worry about it. Since I was blockheaded enough to misspell 'descreet', you were merely discreetly pointing out my howling error.

Um, I figured "descreet" was actually a word I didn't know, since I am blockheaded enough to have thought that "discreet" didn't fit in the sentence. I promise I wasn't trying to be discreetly snarky. I always assume people (especially people who write as well as you do and love the language so much) know a lot more than I do.
