Silliness Next great animal? - Page 13

Changed my vote from Cows to Crows. I figured one more letter wouldn't hurt.

krisk · 04-16-2009, 06:56 PM

yAy for Crows!

If Nate the great has his way, you two might have to eat some...

Lady Blue · 04-17-2009, 09:11 AM

If Bad Nate wins, will he need to change his avatar?

As I understand it, winning this "next obsessed animal" election is a lifetime term, right? And the next "next obsessive animal" poll winner will be his understudy, but won't replace the incumbent in office, right? We just periodically elect additional animals with OCD until the MR Zoo is filled with officially elected animal obsessions and their progeny. (You can't expect so many young and vigorous fauna in such a finite space without resulting in the occasional cross-hatching, after all. - btw, have you seen Marc's litter?)

And NO, I don't think I'm overthinking this whole thing. Every vote counts and I just want to have all the facts so I can make an informed decision. You should all take this voting thing more silliously. The world would be a much better pasture for it.

Personally, I think dead parrots are going to win...

nekokami · 04-17-2009, 09:15 AM

what happens in the event of a tie? It would only take one vote for Bad Nate to be tied with The Blue One, Next to the Fish.

pshrynk · 04-17-2009, 09:15 AM

If they do, we won't have to worry about overcrowding and the progeny thing. A very good choice for controlling overpopulation.

Then it would be BLUE NATE, next to the fish.

I just take my membership here at MR very silliously and feel it's my marsupial duty to do my research, any necessary background checks, and wash my foot before I put it in my mouth. Except in the Conversatory, in which case I just wing it.

Actually, dead parrots might spread the so-called "Zombie-Maker desease". Its a viral chemical producing bacteriophagic symbionts which changes the dna of the infected to produce a zombiefying neurotoxin which mutates the poisened into a marsupial dead parrot next to the bad fish (or something like that, I missed some of the stuff in the 'Advanced zombie classes')

I stand/sit/knee/rofl/sleep in awe before such a great masterskiff (or stuff) / zealous motivation / whatever.
Don't move! I lost my point!

no, don't worry ; there are no zombie parrots. also, The Ministry is zombie-free (with the occasional exception of some of marc's "friends" in the legal profession).
