Next Smackdown Poll

[WayneT]

With 60 votes being cast, seafood holds a slim 2 vote margin over tacos. The poll closes this Friday at 12:00 noon CDST. Can we get 100 votes?

And, just to up the ante, I do plan on providing a form of 'special' recognition for the top 3 contenders in this Smackdown.

Will…it….TACO!!!!’

[Panhead John]

LOOKS LIKE THE GLOVES ARE COMING OFF! 😉

[Troutman]

Oh and here I thought you whipped that out last night between making wine and growing your own produce. My bubble is burst !!!

[Panhead John]

Speaking of Lafayette, JLR are you still planning on going?

[JLR]

Panhead John That's a definite yes/maybe. I should be able to confirm in a couple of weeks. Had a few hurdles unexpectedly pop up.

[Troutman]

Panhead John I'll see your stuffed flounder and raise you....




I'm really torn between seafood and tacos having posted both many times. Grilled or smoked seafood doesn't get as much love here as tacos so I think I'm leaning that way. But again, both are fine as far as I'm concerned.

[WayneT]

Doesn’t a screen name like Troutman automatically disqualify you from a seafood competition? 🤔

[Purc]

I have never done seafood on a grill or smoker and I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with even if it is grilled or smoked fish tacos.

[WayneT]

Start your research and join in the fray.

[WayneT]

With less than 2.5 days left to vote, seafood still holds a slim, 4 vote lead over tacos, despite barelfly ‘s previously-posted, patriotic, pan-American, plea to pick the latter. We are up to 67 total votes now so let’s keep the interest and enthusiasm going to make it to 100 or more total votes on this Smackdown poll. If you vote, that does not commit you to participating; you can always be a cheerleader or provocateur.

We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programming For An Important Announcement……

There were several people who wanted Breakfast cooks to be featured as the next Smackdown/cook off. Instead of including it here as a choice to vote on, it will be a monthly post instead, to showcase your weekend breakfast cooks! The first one starts tomorrow, Friday 7/21, and will be hosted by the lovely and always charming Mosca So, just a friendly reminder to stock up on ingredients and ideas if you’d like to show off your breakfast cook. It’s being called “Show Us Your Breakfastes”. Carry on.

We Now Return You To Your Program Already In Progress

Jim White & Draznnl I was tagging youse guys only for reference to my dissin' PJ about his grammar credibility. We all know who are behinds and behinders.

[WayneT]

Panhead John I fixed my statement above ^ using your rules of grammar.

[DavidNorcross]

Lovely and always charming?

[WayneT]

A total of 69 votes have been cast and only 3 votes separates fishes from tacoses. There’s less than 1.5 days left to vote and y’all know I’d like to see 100 or more total votes. Tell your closest Pit buds to vote, even if they do not wish to participate. Please, don’t make me beg, it’s not pretty.

[Murdy]

Maybe not pretty, but awfully cute!

[mrichie1229]

Puss in Boots!

[Panhead John]

WayneT Your cruel comments above are very disheartening….😢 I wasn’t going to release this picture to The Pit, but you have left me little choice! There’s nothing wrong with being a cross dresser, but I felt everyone should know who they’re really dealing with….

[WayneT]

I was waiting for this kind of lame response from you, which reminds me, I need to order more cosmetics.

[Panhead John]

While your outfit is gorgeous, you went just a little too heavy on the eyeliner.

[Alan Brice]

And double up on the hand cream.

[WayneT]

Panhead John was so jealous of my drag outfit, he immediately called his own fashion consultant.


"Did you say you are a size 38?"

[Panhead John]

Geez, I’ve really gotta start working out.

[WayneT]

It’s a tough sell when your fashion consultant is way north of a 38” waist.

[WayneT]

Back to the real and more serious reason for this thread, we are up to 71 total votes with seafood still holding a slim 2 vote margin over tacos. Surely there are 29 more Pit members who would like to vote for this smackdown. You'll feel better for making your preferences known.

ARN BREAKING NEWS

Credible sources have reported that there is now only a 1 vote margin between seafood and tacos, with the former in the lead. The polls are open for less than 24 more hours and 72 Pit members have taken part in this historic event by making their voices heard. Can tacos take the lead before tomorrow at 12:00 noon CDST? Many pundits are wondering if barelfly is behind this surge from tacos. He has quite the culinary war chest to use and obviously has a personal stake in this fight. Will his influence win the day? We will know tomorrow.

Stay tuned right here on ARN for more breaking news when it happens, or soon thereafter, whichever comes first.

Disclaimer: There are no liberal, conservative or politically affiliated seafoods or tacos so any similarities to a political election are purely coincidental.

[ecowper]

I do believe I just increased seafood to a 2 vote lead

[ecowper]

whoever just voted for Tacos has gone on "The List"

[WayneT]

Hahaha! It was short-lived, but thanks for voting. Tell your friends.

[mrichie1229]

Fish tacos are now neck and neck. Hehe.

[barelfly]

Yep
