Because it's a Valentine's Day love poetry contest, I think William should also throw in a box of chocolates. What do you people think?

Stop putting on the pressure! I am having a hard time with this. I might have to go with the William Must Die poem at this point. It's the only thing that's inspiring me right now.
I had nothing until I took a shower at 4 p.m. today. What I want to know is, why do those shower thoughts wait until the last minute to come? A little more thinking time would be nice. Maybe I should have showered yesterday? Or the day before?

You'll notice William didn't comment on the box of chocolates idea. They keep better than a dozen roses.

A candy bar might be more fair. Afterall, he's graciously donated one of his own books and the cost of sending it, twice.

Any updates on how many entries? How many are named Death to Haskins?

Thanks, Will, for putting the contest together [with or without chocolate], and thanks to all 39 [wow!] entrants. I am going to wait until I have had a night's sleep to read them all, but I've already seen a few that I liked very much.

Damn! I missed another one! I have to come here more often. I'm just going to have to throw the rest of my life aside and pull up a chair in the cooler!

I would vote, but I can't seem to figure out how it is done -- through IM?

Isn't there some kind of voting mechanism in the board?

Find one of Haskins' posts, click on his name. You will then see some options - pick "Send Private Message To.

Follow the instructions for voting as set out in the first post of this thread.

One note of caution however:

Make sure you are wearing a tinfoil beanie when you click on Haskins name or else he will then have a window into your mind and will fvck with you mercilessly.

You have been warned.
