Oh, Don, m'dear! What happened to your signature? Is it sick? It looks all bloated and scarlet (and a bit blueish and pale in places). Are you sure it's all right?

Vote for Under The Dome! This is NOT your everyday Cone of Silence, my "Smart" friends.

"'Twas the Night Before The Dome
And all through the House,
Ole Junior was stirring,
With a Knife under his Blouse!"

(He was a cross-dresser! Creative License....to kill! )

If you want to read The Real Thing, then get off your culo, and VOTE for UNDER THE DOME, amigo!

Vote, vote, vote!!!! But not for S. King.... Please. Anything but. It's not like there's already a discussion about that book here at MR.... Not at all.

Edit: We love E . M. Forster, and we would very much like to see his much accomplished short story to win (in comparison to Anathem and Under the Dome).

Only 6 votes for Down in any case.

Is it really not supposed to be here?
It really is not supposed to be here. It never got the three nominations needed to make it to the poll.

Bob, can you edit the poll to remove Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom such that the people who voted can vote again?

That would be great - especially if they could then vote for "The machine stops" by E M. Forster.
