Well, it's finally here. The last match in Round 2. There are only two contestants remaining, and I am SUPER CRAZY PSYCHED for this battle. If you'll remember, way back when, T. Roos beat Elizabeth I by a narrow margin. In the de Rais/Bathory match, victory ultimately went to... bunny rabbits.

You know what this means. And you know what you must do ( Read more... )

I just want to point out that today's writer's prompt made me LOL. Well played!

Since today is pretty much my least favorite day of the year and, as a result, I'm trying to avoid the Internet, how about we do a delightful poll, marvelously free of marijuana references? I think that's a splendid idea. Hmm, who were we up to? Ah, yes: Diogenes vs. ( Read more... )

It's International Women's Day. When I asked what that meant, my friend Erin responded "Lifetime takes over all television programming?" BURRRRRN.

Aw, shit, son! Howard Hughes SCHOOLED the Witch of Wall Street in yesterday's poll, old timey-style. Clearly you were all blinded by his slick look and impressive resume. I BET HE PAID YOU OFF, DIDN'T HE? In any case, Mr. Hughes moves on to the finals, and may very well wind up facing one of today's contestants, who are as follows:

So far it's been a terrible day. I had two dreams last night which were extremely traumatic, back to back, and almost identical. As soon as I came to work, it got worse. Days like this need a little something extra. What we need right now is a poll ( Read more... )

Genghis Khan was victorious in the last poll, which I think says a lot about how much everyone hates Colin Farrell with blond hair. Or just Colin Farrell in general. Just sayin'. I think there's only two more on my list before the next round starts, so let's go. Here's another poll, where two of history's most prolific serial killers butt heads in ( Read more... )
