My friend Avis

#1 Post by PlacentiaSoccerMom » Tue Sep 02, 2008 10:11 am

My friend Avis made the top 18 of the Mad Men contest. They reset the vote and she needs help.

If you like her performance, please vote for Avis:

Number two always has to try harder. I voted.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I wonder if I can vote from my other computers?

I voted!

Let me know if it works to vote from multiple computers...not sure why it wouldn't. If it does work, I'll vote again when I get home and have my bf do it as well.

I just tried from my laptop and it has a 'voted' status in place of the vote link.

That was easy
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Then we won't repeat those awful things you said about her, it will just be our little bored secret.

(I see we have new name on the memberlist)

I was able to vote again from home! :)

I notice since I was last on, some of the comments have gotten downright nasty! It's worse than one of the bored's threads on politics... :shock:

Once from work . . . once from home.

Avis is fabulous!
