That's the first time that both of my nominations made it to the next vote. Who's retireesmith though? They have no posts but have been a member for awhile.

And now it's time for the second vote so we can get onto reading The Princess Bride.

Maybe? Probably? It only received less than 25% of the votes. I'm just glad the two I would not have read if paid to do so did not make the final cut. Otherwise it's all good. |

Come on! How could The Invaders Plan not win? It is so friggin' funny. I think the poll is rigged.

Puppet It's a little odd that the person has never posted but has been a member for quite awhile. I'll be reading The Princess Bride regardless of whether or not it wins. It's one of my favorite movies, so it'll be interesting to see how similar they are. But I'll wait until the vote to decide when I read it, if it wins I'll wait so it can be fresher in my mind when we discuss it. But if it loses I'll read it right away.
