Don't get your hopes up, the following episode features Adama crying in a fetal position and then deciding to abandon the Galactica (I wish I were joking). You should be thanking us for sparing you all the disappointment of these underwhelming final episodes. Go read a book or something.

You're welcome.

You have spoiled it pretty well already, you fucking fuck.

Some of us do not live in the US and have not seen all the episodes yet.

You sir, are a douche of galactic proportions.

Just joshin' jonny. I agree with you.

In reply to this comment by jonny:
Look, I know us three have had our differences, but I tried to make it very clear that I wasn't singling you folks out. Zonbie/LadyDeath, NetRunner/MintBBB, and many other couple participate in similar behavior. I only picked Issy because she was suddenly ranked #1 - which I don't think is entirely undeserved. My only concern is that the vote counts on videos are "accurate" reflections of the community's view of quality. As I noted in my comment, those vote counts are already skewed by cliquish behavior. Fine, whatever - that's bound to happen in a community. But why create a situation which only makes it worse? And btw, the ceiling idea isn't bad - that's what I meant by freezing votes on or quarantining vids prior to 3/11.

In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
Is it possible to make the old vote totals a ceiling which wouldn't grow any larger until new votes exceeded the old totals? Not sure if that would be hard to do, but it would be a happy medium and would prevent jonny from having nightmares about issy and I.

cool

In reply to this comment by Deano:
That sounds fair enough to me. I'll add it in.

In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
This type of counterpoint, which includes rounds, cannons and fugues, is a huge part of the concert music tradition ('classical' music is technically only a small part of the overall orchestral/chamber 'concert music' tradition which spans hundreds of years). You find this kind of counterpoint in Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc...

It fits pretty squarely in this category.

You are the boss, though.

Feels more like a general music thing than classical in my opinion.

I don't get why this very counterpuntal and traditional western art music form would be excluded from your channel. http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Coolest-Round-I-ve-Ever-Heard-Wendy-Carlos-Style

"A Dangerous Way To Remove One's Show" or Shoe?
I've tried reading it the former way and really can't quite get the context in which it makes sense to place show in there.
I've just spent 7 hours squinting at that sentence and visualising myself in that situation. I've got through a whole jar of coffee doing so and I'm finding it difficult to type. I'll feel stupid if it's just because of a typo. Especially as the coffee money was the last part of my money and supposed to be for paying for my tea bags.
Also when I finally came to the realisation that it might be a typo I went through every letter of the alphabet before finally getting to 'e' and the penny dropped. I mean actually it's ridiculous I tried all the letters, but get this:
What the fuck is a 'shop'?

Choggie, rather than just coming back with new screen names, saying the stuff you always say, why not sneak back into the site with a false identity.

You could pretend to be a kind, rational, funny, good-natured guy, with excellent grammar and spelling. Keep this up for a year or so until you get all of your sift powers back, and then you can bust out a sift talk: "Hey evarbuddy, imma Choggie inna sift, you asshole-bastards. 911 was an inside job. (or whatever you want to say)".....

.....or even better, don't ever reveal your true identity. After all, he who laughs last, laughs longest.
