KT is doing a stellar job of running this though. If stip leaves us one day, could she fill his shoes?

Rounds really were closed after Sarge's tie breaker.

we all spent a lot of time and fun and energy in picking these songs, commenting on them, pmi-ing at midnight and paying attention, saying OOOH and AHHHH and being overly gay & stuff and taking long time to bold and soil I mean spoil and vote on them

I'm not one for causing a commotion, but I wouldn't want to lose by a fly by night "if (whoever you happen to be against) is tied, then I vote for not you" kind of vote.


ok next round then?

I purposely didn't look at the tally, nor had any idea where the tie was, so my vote wouldn't be corrupted by it or over think it.

So it's an Aristocracy, then... that's cool. At least I know what I'm up against. If I want to win, then I need to lick some RMers' assholes. Good thing I don't want to win... or do I?

This argument would hold much more weight if the two people running the tournament (stip and knee tunes) didn't both vote for you.

oh... good point. I really just wanted to say 'licking assholes'

and I really don't have a problem with your first round win. I do find it odd, though, that so many voted for your list, considering the obscurities and narow genre field. I'm determined to kick some 90's ass!
