For love of God, please do not let me go on being a prisoner of Choose of Perish. Please! Set me free!

I believe that there are only two viable options to vote for: Monkey in Fez or Love.

Here's why:

Monkey in Fez *has* opposable thumbs, therefore opposable thumbs is clearly a subset of Monkey in a Fez.

Monkey in Fez has free will. Otherwise, it would not be able to choose to, say, throw its feces at you. Therefore, once again, Free Will is clearly a subset of Monkey in Fez.

If you possess a Monkey in Fez, all you need is an accordian and you can sit on a street corner and people will through money at you. Therefore, Monkey in Fez *comes* with Free Money.

That leaves only Monkey in Fez and Love. We do not know for certain if the Monkey in Fez will provide you with love, or if it will be a nasty, cruel monkey (again validating that Monkey in Fez has Free Will).

I leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine which of these two is superior.

Ok, so I shoulda choosen Free Will, but my instinct told me opposable thumbs rock. Because without opposable thumbs, we'd be just like the rest of the monkeys out there in the jungles, scratching our butts to the tune of ripe bananas!

(And, um, as a side note...there used to be 227 (or so?) blank white cards, and now there are none? Bug or on purpose? *grin*)

AIEE! No Blank White Cards? Screw Choose or Perish!

Breathe...

I accidentally deleted the data file for 1KBWC while doing a bit of back-end maintenance, but now it's been restored.

I told you. You started with Monkey in a Fez and I told you it would win in the end.

Really, how can you beat a monkey in a fez? It's a monkey! With a fez! Unbeatable!

I think the next card game I work on will have a Monkey in a Fez card and it will be an uber, broken, "too powerful" card. :)

It is obvious that Monkey in Fez must be chosen the winner: of the other options, none are capable of wearing a crown. Let him now be known as Monkey in Fez AND Crown!

Holy crow! Love has pulled into the lead!

I demand a recount. There's ballot box stuffing going on!

How can a Monkey in a Fez lose? This is rigged! Rigged, I tell ya!

Hey, now! Voting was supposed to end Midnight Friday (presumedly L.A. time)! When I checked at 4:00 a.m. Central time Saturday, Monkey in Fez (and crown) and Love were in a dead heat. Now more votes are recorded and upstarts Free Will and Love are in the lead. What gives!? Who are these mysterious late voters? Who profits from altering the outcome of this vote? What panel of nine monkeys can we find to make an arbitra ... er ... I mean impartial decision?
