The cockatiel going for the plant reminded me of the time I was at the KC Zoo and one of the cockatiels in the Australian aviary walked up to a dandelion, bit it off at about the bottom of the stem and walked around with it in his mouth. It was pretty cute and an unexplored method of lawn care!

AnnaZC to stay.

Sometimes, nonsensical is OK.

Spending too much time in the land of the ''Parham'' certainly takes the edge of a person's sense of humour...

Parham is the road to madness. All that pointless arguing. Best to stick to CPOTM

Well I did notice is anagram of '' Ha ! Ramp !! ''

That in itself is cause for concern...

Harm pa!

Wouldn't be permitted in '' The Waltons ''...

Dr Spud's thread on the Parham is quite fun.

Voting is now over! By a vote of 8-2, AnnaZC, congratulations, you are still in the running for CPOTM! joeydvivre, I'm sorry, but you are eliminated.

Now we are currently following  step number four of the voting rules from the first post. There will be another competition for Head of Nominees, but it will be through a series of questions sent to the remaining list members. The list member with the most questions correct will be the new HON.

This month, I might try asking list members multiple choice questions through chat and they will have only a few seconds to respond. Do you guys think there is any drawback to this?

You mean like : what's your favorite color, or in which Star Trek episode did Kirk kiss Uhura?

That's not multiple choice.

lol :D

If I send questions through chat, I first have to be their friends, then the questions would be something like:

Who was the first world champion?

a) Steinitz

b) Lasker

c) Anand

d) Euwe

The list member would respond with either a, b, c, or d. I guess you can say it's kinda like the chess.com trivia questions. This time, the questions will be more related to chess.
