Because democracy only works if you vote

Please note your preference in the comments. My next post will be one of the following – whichever gets the most votes:

1. Protein and hygiene

2. Running with your belly

3. Link love

4. The debatable value of trying too hard to win

5. A good movie you haven’t seen yet

6. Nobody cares – put a sock in it, Slater

    I vote for #5, but how do you know which good movies I haven’t seen yet? :)

    I was very tempted to vote for #6, just to see what kind of post you’d come up with.

    But we’ll go with #2.

    I’d like to see some reassembling, so I’m voting for “Running with the debatable value of a link sock.”

    Isn’t #4 a contradiction in terms? Isn’t the condition of trying “too hard to win” bad by definition, which makes it impossible for it to be debateable. Or do you have something sly up your sleeve?

    You can’t trick me into giving it away yet.

    #2 sounds tempting, especially when compared to running without your belly.

    I don’t want to try TOO hard to win this…but number 4 really sounds informative. ( crosses fingers, hopes in anticipation, creates shrine of failed games where he tried too hard)

    running with your belly. i’d like to know if it will help my aching knees.

  9. 10 Pete September 17, 2009 at 2:26 pm

    #4 sounds like fun.

  10. 11 Robert September 18, 2009 at 11:23 pm

    Even if I’m the only one to vote for it: #3. There is not enough of it in the chess blogosphere. Hmmm, maybe I should write that post and you can concentrate on #4.

  11. 12 Matt September 23, 2009 at 9:48 am

    I’d vote for #6, but the language isn’t strong enough.

    USCF elections: 11% turnout
    US elections: 50% turnout
    North Korean elections: 100% turnout
    Reassembler elections: priceless

    :)

    Just back from a long business trip. Didn’t mean to attempt great suspense regarding next post, which will now be a terrific anticlimax.

    OK, so Wahrheit took #3. Mind if I take #6?

  16. 18 Derek Slater October 23, 2009 at 11:52 am

    Wahrheit – you da man. Will get back to you on that. p.s., I note that “popchess” ripped off your post. Ain’t that ironic.

    LEP – Please do. That would be fun.
