Competition: Finale!

[Torie]

Sorry Torie

No problem Kal.  I very much admire Al myself. Ditto with the other contestants as well for that matter. The thing with Al however, is that he knows a lot that I don't know. I really value that.

There's around an hour left.

My prediction: Al wins with around 55% of the vote.

You don't peak at the results?  I find that hard to believe. But yes, I feel like Obama must feel at the moment!

If Tmth's prediction is correct, will you delay your concession speech until the provisional ballots are counted?

No, I am looking forward to delivering my concession speech, and I don't want to delay it!

Damn, my speech is no good now.  What happened?  It must be vote fraud. Anyway, I am of course flattered, but also somewhat embarrassed that Al did not get his due. He has been here since rocks cooled, and a stabilizing and mature influence.  I'm a relative newbie, and lately have kind of abandoned the stabilizing thing in favor of causing a bit more trouble. I suspect maybe cleaning up with the trouble maker vote pushed me over the top.

So sorry about the result Al (not that he has even noticed this thing, and probably if he did just wished it would go away). I might add that it is rather touching that all the youngs around here, treat the dessicated and relatively dried up old so well (Al, Gramps, Ernest, and myself). Very touching.  Thanks.
