Best Decade Tournament 2010->: Finals 9/18-9/20

[stip]

Letmesleep BARELY gets my vote. Overall I thought it was the better mix, though there were probalby more moments I was excited for on Delimas.

[stip]

Can someone close out the round in 15 minutes? I'll be back in an hour or two.

Round is closed. Not sure if Stip just wanted to do the last 2 matches in round 2, or add one of the round 3 matches. Best hold off till he pops in.

[ABNorman]

I appreciate the votes, but I think this is my weakest team so far.

I just want to let you know, Abnorman, that if I win, your team must have REALLY sucked

It was definitely not what I wanted. But tUnE-yArDs is one of my very favourite finds of this decade, Joanna is my muse (I love what she does with the way words sound) and Big Boi is an astoundingly good hip hop artist. I'll give you your other criticisms though - those were audibles.

Here ya go, Stippers:

I was just deconstructing Platy's post.

[stip]

we're doing the last two matches in round 2 as a stand alone before moving on to three. I was about to set them up but Mia just started having a meltdown (sorry Bada). Back later

You wanna talk about something, plat?

[Jorge]

Like what? Stip being a dick? Sure, I'll talk about that.

[ABNorman]

So much Stip-rage. It's not healthy.

[Kaius]

Let the hate flow through you.

Like what? Stip being a dick? Sure, I'll talk about that.

But I voted for you !

Thanks for setting this up

[Jorge]

So much Stip-rage. It's not healthy.

I will destroy him.

I bet the Batman in Platys avatar has confetti in his utility belt

[epilogue]

1. St. Vincent—one of the better songs on this record. There’s a sense of deeper mysteries without being weird for the sake of being weird

I'm probably just being hypersensitive and overprotective of my grrrrrl. But I sure hope you aren't implying that the rest of (or really any part of) the album is, in fact, "being weird for the sake of being weird."
