So, then, if psockpuppet is currently residing in Wisconsin, but was originally from Canada and lives in his cubicle at work, running himself through the hospital laundry thre or four times a month, what I'd like to know is: If Iowa got voted off the island, would they then apply for membership in Canada (In order to get lager that has flavour) or Mexico (In order to get warmer climate)?

Yes. And No.

I want to unite with someone too. I´m feeling lonely among all you foreigners. Three Germans voted and I even don´t know who the others are. I want a "minorities-unite-and-drown-in-self-pity-thread"!!!!!

We will unofficially adopt you. But according to desertgrandma's rules, you must be honest and vote for your own country.

Hey ZP:

Maybe you can get your cousins to join MR and vote for Canada. We're sooooo close to catching up to England (but will never ever be able to surpass France, no never, so I don't think you'd have anything to fear with this

).

On second thought, perhaps I can get my office staff to join and really take a shot at second place....

I would have voted but I thought it was a confidence vote and we might have to prorogue MobileRead.

The minority survives!

Wetdogeared · 01-29-2009, 09:18 AM

Wake up Canada, I know it's winter and it's cold, but what better pass-time than being on MR, and if you're on MR get out and vote. Second place is still up for grabs. Let's pass England and France today and leave them in the dust.

Go to desertgrandma's poll. <--Vote NOW

Wetdogeared · 01-29-2009, 10:08 AM

Canada tied with England, at present, for second place. Let's keep going and beat the pants off France.

(just literally speaking, of course)

Go to desertgrandma's poll. <--Vote NOW

But, the pole doesn't let you vote twice!! That's not fair! If you are a dual-cit type, then you should be able to vote twice.

And, if you are from Chicago, you should be able to vote as many times as you like. Even if you are dead.
