      Curious that the one guy who can see the votes is the guy on top, yes.

      Patience. You have but begun to fight.

        You see what I was saying about that OK-Texas rivalry? She can't let anything go.

          I voted for YOhio because I felt sorry for his lack of votes. How embarrassing!

            It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

              There are some very good entries here! I'm impressed. We have some talented people here. This is the first time I've understood a little what it must have felt like to be Hemingway.

                        Pretty sure not, as it is in prose and not iambic pentameter.

                          I don't know. Ask YOhio.

                            What I want to know is why our local cutting and pasting police, 3D, didn't cite YOhio.
