Vote for Firefly ( The end has been announced ) ! XLII by FlatTop

Manual mornin' stats VOMP!

Well, weekends are now gonna be even worse than they had been, but yesterday saw a modest recovery from Saturday's numbers, so there's hope for more improvement.

ALL three links work for voting, so if you have trouble, you can try an alternate address instead.

You can vote for more as many Top 40 shows as you like, once every hour. You can only nominate one show per hour, at:

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/nominations.html

Download the FlyVote voting timer, a NEW version of the program. It'll remind you when it's time to vote, each hour: http://usbmicro.com/misc

Votes are counted per network IP, so, don't go to the library or your office and vote hourly on each computer on the subnet, or all votes will be thrown out; multiple votes on rotating IPs will likewise be rejected.

Top two shows as of this morning:

(Statistics in parentheses are previous day's stats, for comparison purposes)

Total votes Firefly: 654,364 (653,536)

Yesterday, Browncoats voted 828 (766) times, 62 more than the previous day. Better, but not yet where we want to be.

Total votes Xena: 513,861 (513,359)

Yesterday, Xenites voted 502 (448) times, 54 more than the previous day.

(Xenites voted 326 (318) times fewer than Browncoats, yesterday.)

Firefly is 140,503 (140,177) votes ahead of Xena, more than the vote total of #22 show Star Trek: Voyager 129,129. That puts us at 9,497 (9,823) votes away from a 150,000 vote lead, about 29.13 (30.89) days, based on current voting.

We'll get our next banner, for 655,000 votes, in another 636 (1,464) votes, and .77 (1.91) days! Look for it tomorrow!

Our next, big goal, 675,000 votes, is 20,636 (21,464) votes, and, 24.92 (28.02) days away!

7,091,802 (7,080,992) Top 40 votes have been counted as of 05/19/08. Yesterday, 10,810 (10,348) votes were cast. Our share fell to 9.2270491% (9.2294413%) of all votes ever cast. Our share of the voting pie remains at 9%.

In other TV Vote news (shows whose voters also support Firefly and the Whedonverse, so, let's return the favor, shiny? Browncoats never leave a friend behind!):

#5 show Battlestar Galactica got 487 (438) votes, and, is currently receiving enough votes to overtake #4 show, Gunsmoke, which got 268 (282) votes, yesterday, in 101.57 (143.99) days.

#7 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 436 (445) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Farscape, which received 368 (309) votes, yesterday, in 61.54 (31.27) days. Buffy is also in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 11,111 (11,547) votes, and 25.48 (25.95) days, away, while Farscape is 18.82 (23.61) days from getting there.

Buffy has fallen far behind in the Hall of Fame race! She needs your help to get ahead!

#11 show Angel got 392 (385) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to pass #10 show Combat!, which received 370 (340) votes, in 135.91 (66.93) days.

Within the context of the Poll, Angel is stuck where he is, without your help!

#15 show Babylon 5 got 342 (328) votes, yesterday, and, is on track to pass #14 show Stargate SG-1, which got 247 (241) votes, in 27.95 (31.61) days. Congratulations to the Babylonians on their stand-alone banner, today!

#28 show Dark Shadows got 296 (290) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to to pass #27 show Stargate Atlantis, which got 249 (234) votes, in 24.36 (21.29) days.

#41 show (#1 in the Nominations Poll) Blood Ties got 362 (388) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #40 show Cleopatra 2525, which got 148 (137) votes, in 21.35 (19.05) days.

Not that /I/ would ever do such a thing :angelic emoteicon:, but I remember someone being taught not to tip cows by a farmer who had loaded his shotgun with rock salt

.
From back in the day when a boy wouldn't dare tell his father it had happened because dad would have whipped him & then made him go appologise & clean the farmers gun vump.

Maybe a paintball gun?

Not a vump...

Wolverine is the name of a character from the X-Men (comics and movies). He is an ill-tempered mutant superhero. The animal his name comes from is also ill-tempered, but it exists, and FT would never chain one to his ride, being a kind soul who wouldn't do that to a critter.

Nah, I'd definitely not chain a wolverine to my truck (might shred my new tires!).

Hehehehe. I may have to rig up a stink bomb sprayer to the fuel door. Open it 1/2 way, no problem. Reach in & unhook the trigger. Open it all the way, you'll stink!

Daydreaming of ways to get back at the thieving members of society vump.

Already my second vomp of the day!
FT - good idea about the locking gas cap. My pickup holds a goodly amount and unfortunately, there is only street parking where I live. I'm sure someone will see it as a convenient gas reservior.
I don't have a wolverine but I could tie my cat by the pickup and that might warn some folks off.

Yeah, I know (otherwise I'd put a static electric charge on the truck)... But if the banks can use exploding dye packs, I should be able to use stink. Mostly daydreaming anyway vump.

Leopard - it's actually ILLEGAL - if you can believe it! There is case law on 'booby-trapping' your property with something that can cause bodily harm. Although if I actually CAUGHT someone stealing something from us - I'd do as much 'bodily harm' as I could! Harumph vump.

I've never really understood why these laws exist, but I think it might have something to do with professional courtesy. I think all lawyers are scum suckers who haven't forgotten where they come from so they extend certain protections and privileges to the common thieves. This is just my opinion though.

All the fun stuff:
Strings to fire guns when you open the door,
Exposives rigged to trip wires on the stairs,
Electrocution when you grab the doorknob,
Bucket of gasoline & a match,
Poisoning in general,
Pointing fireworks at criminals,
Tiger traps (deep hole, covered with sticks & leaves) / pungee pits (same hole with sharp pointy things in the bottom)
All illegal.

My dog digging ankle breakers however is a natural hazzard, just like rain and undisturbed snow (if you shovel the snow & someone falls, it's negligence).

Personally, I figure if the criminal weren't messing with property that belongs to someone else (me specifically), the criminal would have no need to worry about whatever 'modifications' may have been made that ensure the property is unsafe. "But what about the children?" Train your kids not to mess with other people's things & they might live to reproduce; otherwise: "Ka-Blam! Elimination. Lack of education." (Walt Disney's The Fox & the Hound) I'm a pretty firm believer in Darwinism & that the gene-pool needs some chlorine.

Hee - yeah we must protect the guilty!! (Rallem; for the most part I do agree - although my husband is a lawyer - and he's a very nice man - really; there are a few good ones out there!) Where we live now we have many guns and I'd actually pity the fool who would try to mess with us - heh. I realize not all states are the same regarding weapons law; but those booby trap laws were put on the books due to a case in Colorado where a guy whose warehouse had been consistently broken into and robbed rigged up a shotgun and actually killed one asshole and maimed another; and HE was the one sent to jail for the longest time. So ridiculous.
