Damn I need to go to Gertrude Hawk and get me some Peanut Butter smidgens. Might as well get a little plump before I work it all off for my Bahamas trip.

Unless of course, you live in Chicago...........

Now back here in the east, Virginia to be exact the price of a vote is $2.00 and a pint of whiskey. You get the $2.00 before and the whiskey when you show your "I VOTED" badge. Also, our definition of an honest politician is one that stays bought.

YESSSS!!!! Now we have FOUR Germans here. I knew it - chocolate always works

OK.

This is it.

Beer, wine, whisky, chocolate, cheese or any combination thereof for people voting for England.

I won't be so blatant as the German contingent and post pics, unless I find some really good ones

Sparrow · 01-28-2009, 04:58 PM

Just curious dg, as poll organiser do you get to see who has voted?

Vote for Germany, get the chocolate, show your I VOTED-Badge to RWood and wash down the chocolate with a whiskey.

Since it´s a secret vote the badge won´t tell which country you´ve voted for, will it?

Yes, I did log out........but I'm kinda sneaky, having raised kids and a grandkid underfoot. I"m VERY good at opening doors silently.........

whippersnapper!~

Don't worry about it. At least you didn't feed Ravenne's insatiable lust for votes..............

Ok, three days now and not a single vote for Switzerland!

That is the CENTER of our Mobileread universe, is it not, Alex?
