"BlowsVivorBlowsTribe, Voting Time!"
Posted by dabo on 06-22-01 at 03:02 PM
Well, friends, the regular voting administration should be back in charge of these after this one, so let's try and show 'em how it ought to be done, what say! Alright then!

This is a voting thread not a bistro, so:

Cast your vote in your subject line,

Pick an alternate or peddle influence in your message,

Be sure and make the waitress tell you today's specials,

Vote however you like, as often as you like, whatever, just try to get your votes spread apart somehow so you don't get caught,

If there are no tables available you are welcome to wait in the bar,

Anyone can vote, anyone at all, except SherpaDave and Survivorerist (don't look at me those're AK's dictates, funny how he let's himself vote, though),

Finally, we do not deliver but you may have take-out.

'Kay then, let's get to it, let's have fun, let's keep it civil.

...pay attention to my votes at your peril, tribe!

After E4, Survivorchick commented that she'd finally been featured and received enough lines. Generally, on Survivor, a player is featured in the episode before he or she is booted. That indicates that Survivorchick may not be long for this game....

Edit to say: This is NOT a vote for Survivorchick, it was merely a reply to AyaK's HUUUUUGE ego trip, and to add a diet Dr. Pepper to my order.

Because I've never known AK to be wrong twice in a row.
Because it' still the Aussies turn to lose, and because Survivorchick's trying to stir up an alliance that doesn't include Dalton (I think).
Alternate AA: RudyRules/SnoopySucks. Because Snoopy had a ton of face time last episode.
If Sherpa decides to decimate the BB's further: Mon Cherie, but not before she suffers mysterious fang bites. The BB's are gonna "nip" Bad Surv's alliance in the bud.

Posted by George Tirebiter on 06-22-01 at 04:30 PM
Because I am a follower, not a Spoiler (too lazy. . .), and because I have also heard Schick say she'd done enough.

I believe the "alliance" outed involves Schick and DK--perhaps the kitty is so turned off by the skunk that she swings the other way? In that case, I predict Schick will be perceived as too powerful to remain.

I do not believe Slurpee would be cruel enough to further decimate the BBs at this time, so my alternate vote is RR (but SnoopySucks stays until the AAs get sick of her hogging the best dialogue.)

Noo! Not me! I'm not ready to go! Please please SD have mercy on me. I didn't say that I'd had enough, simply that finally the amount of facetime recieved the last episode befitted my stunning character. I'm not ready to leave yet!!! More Facetime! MORE FACETIME!!!

Posted by Drive My Car on 06-22-01 at 09:59 PM
MMMMMMMM, with lots and lots of whipped cream. The real shortcake made at home not the spongy stuff from the store ( although it is tasty if you are in a rush) And REAL whipped cream, not that Cool Whip crap ( what is with that stuff?)

Oh and I think Dalton will be joining me for an interview soon.

Nothing against you, RR, I am basing it on the title of the episode "Ch-ch-changes", extrapolating from the lyrics of that song, you are the most likely that it points to. Plus, Snoops got a lot of face time last ep, and he basically counts as you.

Sorry, baby!! You'll just have to imagine me skinny-dipping now!!

Good catch DK, although I don't know the lyrics to the song, I can just hear the title phrase over and over in my head.
RudyRules hates change (I should know).
On the other hand, the outing might mean you've changed--as in your orientation, girl (per GT).

I'll have some of that strawberry shortcake, and I agree only real whipped cream will do. If you can't make the shortcake, forget that spongy store stuff that was probably made years ago), I've never had complaints from Sara Lee Pound Cake, sliced frozen and laid in slabs under the berries. Mmmm.

Surv's sounding a little cocky! He knows this bootee and he's picking the next one. And I hear he suffered a lot of weight loss, which explains his ordering an over-the-top dessert.

What is this? You're voting AGAIN!?!

There are no do-overs in Blowsvivor voting, OFG! Good grief! Next, you'll be asking for the right to read each episode before you cast your vote. . .

Shame.

I'm sorry GT, I read the rules dabo posted above and I thought the message was clear:

"Vote however you like, as often as you like, whatever"

I especially tried to follow the "whatever" rule to the letter.
Now I find this from you quite disturbing:

>Shame.

GT, what are you doing with shakes' finger?
Shame? I should hope so.

OFG, you missed part of dabo's statement, after the whatever...

You tricky AAs, always thinking you can pull a fast one over on the host and the BBs -- it may work sometimes, but not always! I'll count the first vote.

"RE: Whatever PLUS"
Posted by Outfrontgirl on 06-23-01 at 02:58 PM
Oh no, Aya K, I didn't miss that part. I was simply hoping I could quote part of dabo's statement out of context and make it support my position. I was trained to do that in academia.

Darn you lawyers, trained to do the same and pounce on the opposition...

Just how far apart do my votes have to get spread before I get away with it? That part was extremely ambiguous on dabo's part.
Any advice would be appreciated...

Honey, you got caught, live with it, shrug it off. Hint: Next time you cast one or two more votes, jump in and tally up a new vote tally to date, anyone can and no one ever questions it.

And if you aren't OFG and are reading this anyway: I'm 0 for 4 on this BlowsVivor stuff so I'm due! So there!

"Dalton"
Posted by dabo on 06-23-01 at 00:16 AM
Yep, that's right, Dalton, and it's nothing personal coz I likes Dalton bunches. Thing is, much as I respect Ayak's thinking, he's not taken into account that sometimes a player can have almost no air time up to the episode in which he or she takes the last walk, like Kel or Mitchell. Also, I think Daltvivor's insistance on forever refering to herself in the third person will backfire; I mean, really, constantly reiterating your name is not a smart vivor strategy.

For an alternate I'll pick: bouillabaisse.

Yes, bouillabaisse, mmm mmm mmm; whether you're wanting something for a light meal in itself or something to go with your aperitif, there's just nothing better for it than mmm mmm mmm bouillabaisse!

I happen to have on good authority that Dalton isn't about to throw this or any other game--SVBlows may be voting for Dalton, but I have been empowered to say Dalton herself is doing NO SUCH THING!

I think she makes it to the F2!

"OFG Where the hell is my drink?"
Posted by Kismet on 06-24-01 at 02:05 PM
My vote is for Outfrontgirl because she was once a waitress. I have been waiting for a table in the bar for 3 days and I never got my Long Island Iced Tea. Therefore I am pissed at all waitresses, and intend to vent my rage on any and all that I see.

Kismet

"RE: OFG Where the hell is my drink?"
Posted by Drive My Car on 06-24-01 at 04:13 PM
Now Kismet,
Waitresses work hard for very little money. They are abused by their customers and often get stiffed on the tip.
I really think you are being harsh in your judgment. If you ever get that drink let me know how it is, because LI Iced Tea must me made just right to be good.

I always tip but my genorosity varies. For example, I find those that 'hover' to be just as annoying as those who do a good impression of ignoring you. Kinda like the salesperson at a store who follows you around ad nauseum and breaks into a diatribe over an item you just happen to glance at. It grates but that's just me.

And I must admit that despite being here for 10 months, I still can't get over the 'not really a waiter' thing. Instead, you get, "Hi, I'm Bobbi and I'll be your server today." A server! Does knowing their name help with the eating experience? Do you ever summon them by their name anyway? I don't, although if the service is good and I plan on returning, I do make a point of remembering the face. Of course, they don't do this in the UK. Several grunts is par for the course. Too many cheery dispositions, too often, is viewed with suspicion by Brits.

Buggy, I'll take your word that there is an art form to making a LIIT, but unless I plan on getting hammered in double quick time, I give them a wide berth. Just too many spirits mixed together. I like to be able to distinguish my alcohol.
Give me a single malt scotch any day!

Oh, I almost forgot. This is a vote thread so I'll pick Sleeeve. As I said last time, the AA's don't need two spoilers.

"RE: OFG Where the hell is my drink?"
Posted by Outfrontgirl on 06-24-01 at 08:48 PM
GG, you're probably right when you say the AA's don't need two spoilers.

One might consider, though, that putting OFG and Sleeve together equals MAYBE one capable spoiler, he doing the espionage, computer code stuff and me with the "psychology of the individual" approach I learned from P.G. Wodehouse. The psychic abilities have been a bit off of late.

Thank you all who said a few words to Kismet in defense of waitresses although no one actually said they'd bring her her drink, poor thing. I quit being a waitress in part due to recurring nightmares in which customers like her who sat and sat and I could never get them their order.

I totally agree GG about the name thing and about that hovering smothering approach. They should be there when they're wanted, get the necessary info, bring what's wanted and take away what's not. With a smile and no pretentiousness.

Many years ago, before the current fad started, my manager told me we were always to start out by saying "My name is ____ and I'll be your waitress (this was pre-"server"). I simply couldn't bring myself to do it as I was embarrassed by the silliness of the idea.

As you say, people didn't need my name and as I had to wear a stupid name tag anyway, the info was redundant. And if not as their waitress, why the heck was I coming to their table and taking their order? To interrupt them, ask them what they want and then say, sorry, I'm not your waitress?

(Yes, I do understand that in upsacale restaurants a variety of staff comes by your table and only one is your "server," but I was working at Denny's for chrissake.)

Note to self: do not tell Kismet any other former occupations to avoid further generalized rage and undeserved venting. And serve her a drink very next time I run into her.

*Ahem* You listed waitress in your Blowsvivor Application...

To the 'Saviors of Waitresshood'. I have been incredibly patient. I didn't even mind that my waitress had fangs and a frog tattoo. However, a person can only wait so long before her breasts begin to loose their perkiness and her temper begins to flare...

To Ebug, Thank you for the recognition you Tattletail! I will remember you the entire time AyaK and GT are beating me into submission.

I sure did and anything in it's fair game. But one good ribbing deserves another... I wondered if anyone but me (and Shakes) had read those things.

Perk up, Kis, and I would be cross too if I had to sit thirsty in a bar while people who think punctuation marks are names got served.
