The Simpsons Song Tournament - SIMPLE TORTURE WINS

[Simple Torture]

Just so everybody knows: trag has until 12:14AM Eastern Time Tuesday (so the middle of the night) to make his pick; if he doesn't, Sarge can leapfrog him, and Jorge picks after Sarge...etc. I've sent him a PM but it's still in the Outbox, so I don't think he's visited the board yet.

EDIT: It's 2:14AM Eastern Time, since the Board Clock is apparently off an hour from my time.

EDIT 2: It's actually 12:14AM Eastern, because I am bad at math.

Did you never turn off DST for the board?

I just did.

[Mecca]

How the fuck did you guys slip this one in without me noticing?

[Simple Torture]

trag PM'd me his pick, and it's a song that wasn't even on my radar. It's also the first time someone selected a song that could fall under "performed multiple times, but in different versions" and "song written for the show performed by a guest star." I'll let him post it.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Sarge is next! He has until 7:15AM Eastern Time Tuesday morning.

[stip]

That was totally off my radar as well

[Jorge]

Ballsy first pick. Good job!

[Simple Torture]

Also the first (last?) instrumental chosen.

It is a good pick.

[Simple Torture]

I don't have any instrumentals on my list. Maaaaaybe one.

Having said that, you don't use your "off the radar" brilliant pick early on. Even I didn't pick a Homicide cop until the 7th or 8th round of the TV Characters Tournament.

[Jorge]

There's only 4 rounds in this thing, no big deal.

[Simple Torture]

There's been some talk of expanding it to six. We can vote after the 4th round.

This is my first draft of anything I've ever done, ever. I had to google "how to play a fantasy draft."

I like the cut of your jib.
