No automated shenans are requested. Per the long version here, "vote slamming" will be grounds for disqualification.
More on Hot Pastrami Sandwiches: -- Ryan originally saw it as a Wheel of Fortune answer, and seeing it to be a perfect game show answer, vowed to use it some day. His action was noted by the owner of a pastrami blog, who had just come from national pastrami champion Langer's Delicatessen.
Okay, I did the first two. I only have a work Twitter though.
I knew Ru$h H0lt when his main claim to fame was having been on Jeopardy.
Just voted. Also, "greatest metal bassists" has reached the semifinal stage. I voted for Steve Harris over Cliff Burton. You can vote here:

Actually, don't go to that fucking poll, where people apparently voted for the bassist from fucking Dream Theater aka worst band ever over motherfucking icon fucking Geezer Butler.
Says the man who voted to throw Cliff Burton under the bus.
Yeah, I went there.
It's true that you can't really make the Harris over Burton case on technical ability alone. But come on that guy is the soul of Maiden.
1) and 2) done. I don't even have a Twitter.
||Lackey? Facing Verlander? Why, God?|>
He seems pretty flippin' delightful. Voted!
His reminiscence was a fun read. Voted.
Voted on 1) and 2)!
For 9: Jesus, Jesus, if this holds up we may need you to also loudly doubt Peavy before tomorrow's game!
Only too happy to oblige. No chicken-counting yet, though!
Not counting a thing - 15 was excitable, but conscientiously conditional.
Is there a way to stream this game? It's blacked out on mlb.tv.
I don't believe so, but I'm inexplicably unaffected - my iPad either believes I'm an international user or is failing to check where I am. A VPN might be able to reproduce these conditions, but I didn't do anything to bring them about.
(This is one reason that I have refused to update either the MLB app or my iOS.)

Bostonians/Cantabrigians. I'll be at Harvard for a work thing next week, so will be free either on the Tuesday evening or Friday if anyone fancies a meetup.

20: They're on to me via my phone. Bastards.
hooooooooooly tension wow yay woooooo wooo
22: sweet! We should figure this thing out. Friday whenever or Friday evening? Also, when on Tuesday?
(We are trying to solve baby-related complexities; will weigh in soon with ideas.)
Sofa King awesome. Got past Scherzer and Verlander. Please don't fuck it up, Boston.
re: 25
As far as I know, Friday whenever. I fly in Tuesday early afternoon so it'd be evening only. I fly back out on Saturday evening. Work all day Wednesday, Thursday and then I'm free Friday and Saturday daytime.

thank you!!!
love,

Friday evening would probably be better for me than Tuesday, but I could do either.
If we met at a bar early (say, 6:00), Tweety and I could come either day for ca. an hour with the baby. We're also willing to host at our place either night (again, starting ca. 6:00), 'til whenever on Friday or until 10ish on Tuesday.
Voted. Because that's the Unfoggedy way!
5, 6, 7, 8: Jesus Led Zeppelin Christ, nerds.
I might be able to make it over to Boston Friday evening, but I'm guessing it would take 3 hours for me to get there after work, so not before 8.
Friday better for me to, as I'll have been traveling on the Tuesday and need to be fresh-ish for Wednesday morning.
We could also do Saturday daytime pretty easily with the babby, especially if it was someplace babby friendly.
I believe I have met this ryan chaffee somewhere or another. I am going to vote for him and I suggest you all do likewise.
Text, are you on the pub trivia circuit?
I like the idea of going to Sifu and Blume's on Friday evening. Potluck, of course.
I could take the train down for something on Friday, if its T-accessible.
I made pasta sauce tonight for the first time since DC and I miss you all. That is all!
Lackey? Facing Verlander? Why, God?
Because God is fucking awesome, that's why[^1]. Oh, man, I wish I could have at least listened to this game--I could only check the score intermittently--but edging out Verlander 1-0 is so sweet.
[1]: I'd prefer not to chance a rematch, though.
Don't worry, guys, the cooking I did for you was better! But this was more colorful since it was from the garden, yellow tomatoes, red and orange peppers, yellow onions, green and purple basil. That still wasn't enough to get the girls excited, but oh well.
Many thanks to Blume for offering to host. Wherever we end up meeting I can come Tuesday or Friday but not Saturday.
I voted for Ryan even though Erin looked cute and had a nice, round number to her earnings.
Just stopping in the thread to put this in the comment sidebar and encourage everyone to vote again today! God bless.
Voted! And I don't even live in New Jersey, just work there...
Will there be a Boston meetup thread? I might not make it but I want to keep track of precisely what I'll be missing.
Oh yeah we should do that. I was vaguely waiting to email the posters until after the london meetup but why would I do that?
