Sure thing.

I'll throw my hat into the ring. My avatar from November 7 to December 7 will depict the winner of the election.

Damn it, Great Justice, you're supposed to be on the other side so you can take Misko's bet! :P

Dear BBC, do you have to use a time format which looks identical to years? Sure, Bob Dylan was clearly not alive in 1802, but honestly...

I detest Romney and Obama about equally, but Romney winning sends the wrong message to the Republican party, and he cancels out the chance of them improving significantly in 2016 (whereas the only "good" result of him winning for the Democrats would be if Dennis Kucinich won the nomination or something).

On the other hand, I'm suspecting rather heavily that the Republicans will do better on the downballot races. Just call it a gut feeling.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

I think if we should fuse them together if there's a tie.

I'm now not sure which is a better fiction setting: a sci-fi nation where the candidates are fused in the case of a tie, or a nation where a tie results in the candidates sharing a term and flipping a coin whenever a decision needs to be made.

We could just fuse them in such a way where they both maintain separate consciousness, then they can flip a coin.

I would prefer the latter cause funny thought. "You made the LAST decision" "That was about statues in parks, doesn't count"

I'm calling it for the big O. If I'm wrong, Romney avatar for a month.

No, until 2013 starts.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.
