(slightly tinny voice of sports announcer speaking into a megaphone)

and with desertgrandma recruiting indefatigably in every possible subforum, france narrows the distance with england and canada !! only 4 more to overtake them !! (3 more to tie) allez la france !! the tension is mounting in the final hours of the poll and the crowd is on the edge of their seats !!

I have a strong desire to recruit neighbors, relatives, and other such strangers to join just to vote for, oh, I don't know, some really obscure place - like Scotland.

(No, put those down. Don't throw them at me! It was all pshwynk's idea, I think.)

zelda_pinwheel · 01-30-2009, 02:36 PM

allez la france ! we are now at 19 !! only 2 away from england and canada !!!

Presently, about 60 members are logged in. Some other members are sleeping right now (Far East), or working (

), or partying (GMT+1 ?).

With only 210 members voting in this poll thus far, how many MR members could there be out there?

OK, it's a sneaky way of asking how many MR members are actively registered here.

hmm, given your love of statistics, i'm sure you must have noticed the numbers directly under where you were just looking, which say, among other things, "Members: 28,264"

zowie ! imagine if they all voted !

(of course, i bet a large percentage of them are inactive. i don't know how we could determine currently active members.)

Bravo, that's the spirit!!

No-one can say we don't know how not to pronounce the name of our own country.

Only hours to go before the polls close - there must be a few more of us out there - GET VOTING!!

nrapallo · 01-30-2009, 03:44 PM

Can the top four countries repeat the order of their Standings in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games?

Maybe our poll results will be similar, i.e.:
1. USA
2. Canada
3. Great Britain, ahh, we have England, Scotland, Wales all on their own

4. France

It's too close to call!

A tad less than 3 hours to go. England, France and Canda could each take the lead......if only their members would VOTE!

Now, should I wear the zorange safari suit with the fedora, or the Sean-Connery-as-Zed evening outfit with straw hat...?
