h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well done Croz. You have delivered the denoument of the drama superbly tonight (raises in salute).

Hypatia is emphatically *not* a hillbilly or a redneck. She's a librarian! From what she says about them, some of her customers probably are hillbillies and/or rednecks, but Hyp herself is far more sophisticated.

Woodward and Bernstein? I can see the headlines now... "Browniegate"

I think Hyp admits to being a hillbilly. You can be a sophisticated hillbilly, I think. Maybe not. I don't really know - I'm from Ohio, and we're all sophisticated up here

Having met Hyp in RL she is no redneck, she is a wonderful lady

Still a hegemony though. No getting away from that.

Cheers Croz I'll put it in the Post somewhere

Note that since the result was announced when there were still 3 candidates, my votes were never transferred. It is possible that people might have voted for me first and 2Legs second, so many of my votes might have transferred to 2Legs, leaving him only slightly behind Hypatia.

Well done to both of you!

And for the Scots up there, lots of hillbillies are actually Scots or Ulster Irish - so stop ragging on us. We done got run out of the home country, so don't make us come back up there!

Oh, yikes ...

Waz (a Scot taking cover, quick!)

Well done Hyp

Commiserations Gnomon

Morning, Frenchbean!

Ah yes, everyone knows that Ulstermen and Scots are the creme de la creme of British society.

My sarcasm detector just went on overdrive.

If I transferred your votes Gnomon, it would have been 107 votes for Hypatia and only 44 for 2legs.

Interestingly if first choice votes had been discarded and second choice votes instead had been counted, you would have been the runaway leader in round 1 with 21%

Morning Gnomon

Up late partying?

Does that make me the alternative pres?

If ever there's an argument for impeachment proceedings, both yourself and 2legs are well in the running In fact if Hypatia were to stand down, it'd have to go to another vote between the two of you as you'd have 61 votes each.

Eh?
After the inauguration, wouldn't the job go to the VP if she stood down, or... say... was kidnapped?

No?

*mutters to himself*
Damn, another plan foiled.

I mean of course before the inauguration.

Wha-ha! The plan's back on
