You'll still totally win though. I guess one just can't compete with the dislike of England. :P

Well to be honest I have no idea how many members actually vote here, so maybe it is too early to judge.

Rapidly moved the cursor over the options and voted randomly. Seems like Dango got my vote.

I wanted to see Matdragon return too.

Also, I've noticed a distinct peak of entries around the first three days of each round. To avoid having to wait so long, can we make it Signature of the Fortnight from now on?

And biased? What's up, MDT? Grudge against Serza?

Since it's vaguely appropriate to talk about this with this theme active, I went to see Brave yesterday - loved it throughout - and was able to fully imitate the Scottish accents at time of the first break. I only have to sit in with someone talking for thirty minutes to be able to replicate their dialect. :shock:

No, Yes, No...Just look at her sig, have you seen what a disgrace? England is the second best place in the world after The Kingdom of the Netherlands and then she created a sig like that.

Best Place in Universe Test Results:
1). Kingdom of the Netherlands
2). England
3). Wonka's Chocolate Factory
4). The Moon

Are you sure? Immediate studies show that people usually don't orally speak a second language second language as clearly as they think they do.

Mind, English isn't my second language. It's my second first language. I'm literally split in half when it comes to my two languages; as soon as I cross the border, I automatically switch into English thinking without even noticing. I think in English and in Dutch every day and I guess I have tried my hand at Scottish a couple of times before, so that might explain why I could do it so well in such a short time. Mind you, I wouldn't be able to do it as nicely right now as I could yesterday - I'd need to listen to a couple of sentences of a real scottish accent (not those loud-mouthed phoney accents as portrayed in cartoons) again to do that.

Mister have you ever thought about the fact that i'm joking? It's a well known fact that the English and the Scots don't get along so why not joke about it? Also please keep your opinions out of whether my sig is good or not. :| You like England? Great, good for you. If I make a joke about Scotland being greater than England in a sig then don't act butthurt about it.

Dango needs more votes. Needs to be fixed.
