Well until today I always assumed that echidna was an Aboriginal name not a greek one... i mean seriously sounds like it should be a small town in NSW...anyway..

Probably is.

I wonder why they went and named the echidna after a monster? I mean, they're really quite cute.

All right. I'll vote now.

++ Mac.

As always, I'll try and be back later and will change if need be.

Alright first off one thing. Boro, I'm sorry I called you stupid. I can only say you're not the only one frustrated here and that Kath lynch seemed utterly pointless to me. I was unnecessarily nasty in my critique of it, especially as I must admit I intentionally phrased stuff provocatingly to see how you'd react. I didn't mean to offend nor did I think you'd be offended, but I should've realised it's not very nice to call someone stupid. Like I said, I'm sorry. But if there's any good in this thing, it's that your reaction seems very innocent to me (or then you are a rather heartless manipulator) so I think I may finally be sure.


edit: xed with Nerwen - yay! *hugs Nerwen*

Trying to make more sure he dies if there's a tie.

It is possible I will retract but I doubt it. (I think the only possible case is that becomes a race between Shasta and someone I consider innocent, or between me and someone else.)

Seems to be my day today. Three misguided votes and my computer ate my Eonwe-post.

Trying to get Gwath lynched, eh, Mac? He's pretty much the only one who is suspected even a bit and not on your side. I almost pity you because you have so few choices to pick from. Maybe you could launch a bandwagon against Eönwë, he usually falls victim to those quite easily, almost as easily as Gwath.

Why is Izzy voting Mac?
a) She's a cobbler who's doing him a risky favour.
b) She's a cobbler and she's mistaken about him.
c) I'm mistaken about him.
d) She's innocent after all (and making weird comments because she's frustrated).
I'm inclined to think b) or d) is correct. a) would be foolish, and I don't believe in c) because I trust my own judgement more than Izzy's (no offense). I'm a bit baffled by her voting him but it makes me happy nevertheless. *hugs Izzy too*

Aieeeeeee Mac. Just see what I said when cross-posting with you. You're a tad too predictable. I'm sorry the computer ate your post, though. It sucks. (But I'm not sorry for the well-guided votes. )

I already knew that before, which takes out some of the sting.

I know sometimes I need a good butt-kicking into shape, because sometimes I think wildly and more reactionary. If you think something I did/said was stupid, that's fine, and by all means say it...I always don't catch myself. It was just the I'm either "stupid or a cobbler," and not that I possibly made a "stupid choice." But how could we possibly know whether Kath's lynch worked out for good or bad?

If you were searching for a reaction from me, just ask...and be as provacative as you want...even put it as "Boro...what the - ?" Say it looked stupid, or wolvish, or whatever...phrasing it in a question tends to help.

Accepted...and if you think I'm being stupid, say it, sometimes I need reminding, but just put a with it, that takes out the sting and I still get the point.

Or just make a joke about hitting me with a piece of fish.

Ok, now I will go and read the Lommy and Mac business I didn't from yesterday.
