Being clinical, there is no need for tie breaking.

There doesn't need to be exactly 20 members in the final poll.

If 2 or 3 are tied for #20 spot, they don't make the cut.

Pragmatic, if not popular solution.

No, there will be 20.

It was already announced there would be 20 and that some kind of TIE BREAKING would be done if needed.

That's what's going to happen.

The time for debate about rules for this year's contest is OVER.

JT, honey, I sent you a PM over two hours ago and you haven't responded. I'm hurt. I take back the part about liking so much that you are so very anal.

I just did at the same time you were writing that. So I didn't need prompting. I was just slow. But good luck in the contest!

Whoever this Supaluke guy is, I like him.

Uh oh. Here goes.

Vote for the candidates Nancy...try to eliminate the competition!

She's just stroking the puppies.

LEADERBOARD UPDATE.

Some exciting changes as we head into THREE HOURS LEFT.

Uptheos opted out and now Morch has entered the TOP 20 at the TIE ZONE level.

This TIE ZONE is crazy, I tell ya, CRAZY!

"Whoever" he is?

This is not exactly one of the great unsolved "mysteries" in the world, is it?

Sorry, folks. I'm so clueless. Kind of like how I was going to CM Immigration, you know as president of CM Expats Club, just to be sure they gave out the same number of queue cards for the the retirees waiting in the queue for the retirement extensions as they were telling the Consuls they gave out every day. And then after a few visits, I began to see things -- things I shouldn't haven't seen. And then I started to do the math.

I'm now starting to do the math with Supaluke.

Hard to keep up now!
I see JAFO shot up to 10 and has PENETRATED winning territory.

This is the time for a frenzy of tactical vote changing, folks, if you aren't excited by this, you're either don't have a pulse.

Or you're an entirely sensible human being.

How would I know?

It's so exciting, I actually opened one eye briefly, farted, then rolled over and went back to sleep.

Sourpuss of the year prize to you! Authority to award granted by the International Association of Gay Poll Lords.

Posthumous award goes to Soutpeel.

You come here to count the sheep?

I'm out munching now. Less than two hours to go. Can some kind person post a current leader list? Not hard. Just paste the old one and update the numbers.

Now in the FINAL HOUR of this stage.

I can't believe Bumlooker hasn't made the cut.

Now in the FINAL HOUR of this stage.

Canuckmuck has crept in and now has 13 votes

Robert the Bruce & Publicus now have 11 that's six on 11 votes, getting interesting.

I can't believe Bumlooker hasn't made the cut.

I think he's got a by into the Final. BUMLOOKER26 FOR THE CUP

While we're on the subject of random capitals: Canberra

Is that the same as POTY central or some kind of.............nah I'm not going there.

Finally, you're calling it by the name I've always known it as!

OK, I'm standing by, observing. Just to make sure there isn't any skulduggery. You know, like G4T visa agent suddenly swooping in with 50 votes 5 minutes before the close. (sorry, that's a very inside CM reference)

I've had to make the ultimate sacrifice and pour myself another glass of wine while my campaign managers have retired for the night. Something about how it's cold here in LannaLand and Hubby has warm balls. (I'm busy looking for a photo, but I think it's on the computer that suffered the unfortunate red wine accident a while back)

I made it!
Back in the HOT SEAT at POTTY CENTRAL.

Things are STEAMING over here now. What is that smell?

Thought I'd add a bit of public transportation drama to the ending stretch of this historical POTY RUNOFF.

Calibrating the NUCLEAR CLOCKS now.

Stay tuned and hold on to your seats.

(In a polite way.)

I can't believe Bumlooker hasn't made the cut.

Another fart or just a bad dream???

I am using this site to make the timings fully official:

http://www.thetimenow.com/thailand/bangkok

About 12 MINUTES TILL DEADLINE now.

Yeah, but I don't want a Grand Palace tour.

Jingthing -- is there a limit to how many "Likes" we can bestow in one day? I mean a limit placed by the Powers-that-be on ThaiVisa? I probably should ask if there's a limit to how many "Likes" we can bestow before we get invited to an AA meeting? I'm planning my campaign strategy and the creative juices do seem to work best when I'm consuming wine.

Edit: for punctuation and grammar. Never "Like" my posts within five minutes of posting. I will probably change their meaning into something you don't agree with.
