I wonder if Hank Parker owns a cowboy shirt and hat?

I've got a pretty serious challenger that's worked her way into third place. http://www.berkleybigfish.com/PhotosCat.php?Category=B

It doesn't seem fair Bruce, but she does have a couple of big ones.

I think she's gotten a ton of points in the last couple of days, but she's still only in third.
OH, YEAH! I wrote first, didn't I? What was I thinking?

Is it too late for me to change my vote?

Just curious, but is the site allowing you to vote a second time for Aquaman? Aquaman who? I'm a Duo-Damsel fan now.  I think I'd have to register again with a different assumed name to vote again.

Don't forget the cowboy shirt and hat; we have a Texas contingency to serve.

No issue now. She's gone.

She's Gone? Oh I, Oh I'd better learn how to face it. She's Gone. Oh I, Oh I'd pay the devil to replace her. She's Gone - what went wrong?

I think the mad doc Frankenbruce faked that pic of ( @ ) ( @ ) . I think Hank runs a family program and his wife would not allow ( @ ) ( @ ) on the boat with him.

Frankly, that picture kind of grossed me out.
On another note, ewest's QWERTY-based depiction is incredibly accurate.

Someone emailed me that pic of the girl holding the two bass years ago as a joke. That pics been around the block a few times. I'm sure the person who posted it didn't know her. The copy on the Berkley site had been photoshopped to add the bikini. In the original she was only wearing a smile and sunglasses!  I guess someone found out about this on the website and removed it. Good for Bruce as it would have been hard for him to compete. A pair long arms are no substitute for a pair of.....well you know......
Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

Just curious, but is the site allowing you to vote a second time for Aquaman? I probably shouldn't say this . . . but, if you erase your cookies, you erase your identity. You can vote, and vote, and vote . . . However, depending on the actual proprietary database, and the levels of actual and implied parsing rules the site is imposing, there is a possibility that it allows "DNVD" which I believe stands for "Double-Negative Vote Depreciation." It is very complicated on how it is applied to the various data bases in use -- but possibly Dwight, or some other software guru, could add some insight. It's main purpose is to offset minor error corrections without disturbing natural occurrences and mathematical progressions. Someone familiar with the site, and familiar with DNVD, could actually decrease the vote count. To the best of my knowledge, DNVD was initially developed back in the late 1960s to correct for leap seconds and other minor time variations when they were in the early stages of developing GPS location. Well, I couldn't help myself. I deleted all my cookies, but it still wouldn't let me vote again. Interestingly, my wife and kids are not allowed to vote for me even a first time. So the website knows something about your "location?".? I'm really glad that the site doesn't allow you to circumvent the process. It would take the fun out of it. I could never compete with somebody who was doing their campaign with all fake votes. We'll do it with real people, right?? My wife also told me that one of her co-workers voted for me, but nobody else at her entire workplace can vote now, so the Berkley has it set up so it's very hard to cheat. That's a good thing.

They can track the IP address (basically, they know exactly where you're posting from based on your internet connection). Then they can disallow any other comptuer using that same IP address to vote.
It's the same thing that the internet gaming websites do so two people can't get on two different computers, sit next to each other, and rig the game (undoubtedly splitting their earnings).
Since you're so popular Bruce, and since you know so many people in such different locations, I'd say you have the leg up on this competition.
