4Report
Two.Report
Agreed. Two.Report
It surprises me not at all that you voted for this one.
Because of the bees, really. That was the giveaway.Report
Four, but don;t ask me why.Report
Don’t worry, there’s no need.Report
Heh.Report
OK, now I’m not sure.
I said “Don’t ask me why” to refer to #4, and acknowledged “Don’t worry, there’s no need” as a playful insult.
Did you think I was choosing four to insult you?Report
I though you were choosing four to playfully insult me, an insult that I anticipated. If I were going to be sore about it, I wouldn’t have given you that choice.Report
Noting personal; I chose four because I think it’s the funniest.Report
One. And it goes without saying that you should take your coffee dark when using this mug.Report
I like my coffee the way I like my women.
COVERED IN BEESReport
I don’t know if this is some reference to something or just a random thing you said, but I can’t stop laughing.Report
I don’t even know anymore.Report
Part of my brain corked left.Report
I shall also vote for One, and not just because of the bees.Report
I vote for numero uno.Report
I like #1 the best, too.Report
It’s not as good as my favorite all-time mug cartoon, but that one is for a different field.

I once possessed a t-shirt with that cartoon.Report
I now forgive you for how wrong you are on the MD thread about being wrong.
I just blew my own mind.Report
One it is, but I can’t look at Family Circus without thinking of Dysfunctional Family Circus
This one’s pretty good too. Just
wastedinvested an hour going through a Google search of those images. Liked this one a lot.ReportI guessed you would be a onesie, Mr. Smith.Report
Of course. Why else would I always bring up the same best line from MIB?Report
Four.Report
I vote for two, but I didn’t expect you to be in favor of resolving this democratically 😉Report
Well, thanks to you, now I can’t even do it anyway. By my count, your vote caused a three-way deadlock.Report
I’m surprised three hasn’t gotten any votes yet. I figured it was even more self-deprecating than four, and thus would certainly be the choice of the liberals.Report
Who are the liberals?Report
By my count, every single vote for four.Report
What does that make the people who voted for #1?
Wait a second… this really was a hidden test, wasn’t it?
You’re tricksy, Mr. K.Report
Honestly it wasn’t. I expected three to win, I thought four was a little transparent, and I thought one and two were good but unlikely to capture others’ imaginations like they did mine.Report
I’m a liberal, and to my ears 2 is easily the most liberal-friendly of the bunch. One is easily the most libertarian.Report
Two is the most libertarian.Report
I like one and two, but I’m going to vote for one. I like these two, too:

The second Nietzsche quote at that link is one of my favorite Nietzsche quotes (I say this as someone who carried TSZ</i? in his backpack for years). I was very psyched when it came up.Report
I vote for four (4). And I will vote for 4 early and often if that will help.Report
Number 2 for sure.Report
OneReport
We’re Number One!
We’re Number One!Report
Oh crap, I actually have to see this thing every day!
Umm, one!Report
Okay, the voting is now officially closed, and One wins.
But I really wish I could have added this one to the choices.Report
I’m not sure that quote’s not apocryphal. I can’t find it anywhere. It could just be the translation (happens sometimes — most of the quotes people use from Nietzsche in English are from a translation that’s more than 100 years old), but I’ve tried variants.Report
Why am I proud that I voted for the winner?Report
