Worst Thing Ever - Choosing the Worst Thing Ever

In what was probably the closest race in Worst Thing Ever history, Having No Time defeated Having No Money by only a single vote. Take a moment to contemplate the power of a single vote... but only a moment, if you too are running short on time.



Post of the Week:ceylon_tae, for succinctly summing up the winning perspective.

The Final Tally:

Having no time
29 (50.9%)

Having no money
28 (49.1%)

Last week, reality television was thankfully worse than reality. Yes, in real life we are smarter and happier than we are on TV! That's the theory, anyways.

Today's poll was inspired by the fact that I no longer have the time to dedicate to this community that I used to. When I created this community, I was unemployed. Now, I have a full-time job and many other life commitments. While for the most part this has been a good thing, I do find myself in the market for a co-moderator. Anyone interested can leave a comment on my personal journal under the recent post "Worst Thing Ever co-moderator?"

Thank you all again, for being part of this community, and helping it to grow. It's been a wonderful experience.

Despite that endorsement, a lack of potatoes triumphed over all. Will it succeed where famine failed?

Scary leprechauns

A lack of potatoes

Last week, Caprica Six won over not only Gaius, but many of our community members. This wasn't that surprising, as she is prettier than A Creepy Worm. What is surprising was the landslide victory our Creepy Worm wrested from her hands ears. Watch as it slithers on to victory...

Being trapped in repeated, feverish hallucinations about office supplies
21 (40.4%)

Stepping on a tack while barefoot

42 (80.8%)

Last week, it was one of our closest races, but eventually trite and predictable plots pulled ahead of nightmares. Post of the week goes to skizzylizard, who may have swayed more than a few votes by connecting nightmares with hugs. It's a strong contender that can survive being associated with something so nice.

The Final Tally:

Mind-numbingly trite and predictable plots
27 (51.9%)

Nightmares
25 (48.1%)
