    I've cast my vote and its level again if Papillon hadn't taken the lead I might well of voted for the wall though.

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to the forum. I would like to post a vote for Papillon. I tried posting my vote on the pole. Perhaps I am too new to do so. But I thought I would place my "vote". Thank you.

    Hi mickitaz, welcome to the forum and to this thread! I think you do have to have so many posts, before you can vote. You can PM to Logos to find out just how many. It is easy to build up posts quickly on the game threads, such as song title, movie title, what are you thinking, feeling, etc. There still is time to vote on this thread poll, if you built up posts before the poll closes. Enjoy browsing around the site!

    Hi Mickitaz. Only members who have 50+ posts are able to vote in the polls. However, like Janine said, it is easy to increase one's post count easily; visit our Games section!

    I don't think I see a pina colada in that cluster but perhaps I can get one made for me.

    You know, I kind of feel bad for The Lover. It's the only books on the whole list that hasn't gotten a single vote.

    All this alcohol is so Rabelais-esque!
