Votez-vous! The forces of the Flea are gathering and you only have three days left to vote. Style, wit and a good grasp of basic grammar cannot be allowed to overwhelm your voice on the internet.
Remember this! Just like you, every computer is unique and each of these magical instruction reading machines can register a vote daily in the best blog, best culture blog, best group blog and best blog post series for Gen X at 40 and A Good Beer Blog! Hop from terminal to terminal all day if you can, interrupting work flow and distancing you from your co-employees. Do it for me and do it for you...ok, mainly me.

Votez vous means "vote yourself." Since I'm not on there, I haven't voted at all.

Hey! I have this Sony translator thingie that says this miust be right! I am sure I meant it in the imperative. Jeesh.<p>[Ed.: <i>I bet the Flea doesn't goff up like this...</i>]<p>Shuddup, Ed. You know, I used to think Ed. meant editor but it's just a guy called Ed.

I am leaning toward the validity of "votez-vous" as a stronger imperative but bow to those Flea-like wizards out there who did not doodle and daydream in grade ten French.

Voter isn't one of those verbs that takes a pronoun like that in the imperative. I went to a French school from grade one to grade five (or, as they called it there, from onzième to septième ). I was actually being charitable when I said votez vous meant something. In fact, French people don't actually say votez vous unless it's a question as in : votez vous ce soir? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. May I suggest "votez souvent" which means vote often? Or even: "Votez souvent, maudit christ?" De toutes façons tu n'as pas vraiment besoin de nous le dire. On vote déjà aussi souvent qu'on peut. Moi même je vote dix fois par jour. I know, I'm a dullard.

I use mid-1950s PEI Acadian French. Didn't you read the disclaimer? I think your Euro-pre-junior-high upbringing is blinding you on this point.
Marian - November 28, 2005 2:55 pm
Perhaps, but it sounds more like Scottish Presbyterian with a dictionary style French to me. Incidentally, I have always found Acadian French a bit hard to understand. It might be because it has a lot of English in it which forces me to think in both languages at the same time and so messes me up. My husband says he has the same problem in Hungarian. He's bilingual English/Hungarian, but he finds English words in Hungarian sentences very difficult.

You need to release yourself from the shackles of a language neither of us speak and embrace the intensification of the demand I make, requiring the very corpse of the voter to lift up and make its voice heard. Kinda aiming for the "Dawn of the Dead" part of French speaking sector of the electorate.

Yeah okay. But as I said above in French I've been voting ten times every day. I also said that your mother wears army boots and Portland is a wiener.
In fact, I can't vote that often. But I would if I could. Ah well, tomorrow is another day, as they say in the movies.

Well, then, we wish you a <i>bonne charcoute avec beaucoups des sous-sols</i> and really, really mean it.
Marian - November 28, 2005 3:26 pm
I wish you a good sauerkraut with lots of basements as well you strange fellow.
Alan - November 28, 2005 3:29 pm
<i>Voot Galore!</i>

good sauerkraut with lots of basements
That made me laugh.

PS. I can't see the results of the voting. Or is that just me?
Alan - November 28, 2005 8:16 pm
Once you have voted you will see all the results. If you do not see them you may not have provided a vote in each category. Plus the results are anonymized to add to the drama.
Cool Girl - November 28, 2005 9:52 pm
I think Arthur your problem of not seeing the results would be fixed if you went on "Best Personal Blog" and marked your X beside "A Glamor Girl Gone Bad".
Then all shall be revealed.

There goes the masterplan to conquer the world...
