Voting has ended.

Here is the tally:


Triple A: 1 vote
Cleavage: 1 vote

Dear Lord, a tie! As with all ties, we call on the sitting Vice President of the United States to cast the deciding vote. VP, what say you?


"Although a single female among a band of men often results in her being the one in charge, I must go with Triple A this time around. Look at his display of power with his piercing gaze and aggressively-posed arm. Plus, he's all sweaty from leading. And Cleavage's dominance is somewhat undercut by the closeness of Time-Traveling-John-Mayer-In-A-Monkees-Tee. Triple A is in charge."

Taking a break

Hi, thanks to everyone who has voted. Hatless, Jared X, McGone, A Jaded Girl, Beckeye, Cellar Door, etc.

I am taking a break from this blog (and all other online endeavors). Probably not forever, but for a while.

See you later, you nice people, you.
