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.

That's because none of them are worth picking in the first round.
First of all, Canyonero was picked in the second round.


Second of all, Canyonero is one of the best things the simpsons has ever done.

PS - So far, my 40+ song power rankings have matched up with the first three picks exactly. I feel like it's going to get dickier from here on out.

I admire the earnestness, that's for sure. Don't change just because I'm a jerk, Joey. Put your hearts all over the place.
Joey's one of the good ones, Trag, and he's someone you can actually debate and expect to listen.


Except about Riot Act, but we're none of us perfect.

S/T, I'm sorry to keep offering suggestions/requests, but could you maybe take out the draft order (round 2, 3, 4, etc) in the header post and use that space for a more centrally located running list of what's been taken so far.

It feels invasive.


Also, while the stonecutters theme was a great choice, it was the simpsons equivalent of taking Country Feedback as your first pick. We'll learn if you're bringing a spoon to a knife fight soon enough.
