Last call for laptop name votes!

[annathepiper]

The FedEx tracking page says the laptop left Kent, WA at 9:55am on the truck for delivery--so some time in the next hour the MacBook will be in my hot little hands! Well... okay, solarbird's hot little hands, 'cause I won't get home until after 7. ;)

This means that y'all have until I get home this evening and set up the DNS on the box to cast any final votes on the poll! Winnowill is in the lead with 13 votes, conducting a mighty campaign of telepathic manipulation, but Starbuck has pulled into second with 7 votes. The floor is also open for campaign visual aids. If you want to sway my opinion by appropriate icons and/or pics, lay 'em on me, people!

ETA 1:12pm: Two changed votes for Winnowill now put Her Lordship at 15 votes! Starbuck is in second with 8, Kaylee in third with 7. Y'all have six more hours!

RUSSELL

[annathepiper]

Hee! He's still disqualified, though, at least using his actual name. Any characters played by Russell, however... though I fear "aubrey" and "jackaubrey" are too far behind to catch up at this point. ;)

oh COME ON.

Name it "Maximus" then.

[annathepiper]

Well, I fangirl way harder on Jack Aubrey than I do on Maximus, I have to admit. ;) I mean, sure, Max has those mighty, mighty biceps and looks amazingly good in a blue slave tunic, but Jack duels with the French and plays the fiddle. The fiddle, I tell you! No contest!

Macs are POWERFUL and therefore need to be named after gladiators.

Mine is called butterfry but that's not the point (don't ask).

[annathepiper]

I'm thinking at this point it's probably going to be Winnowill.

But I'll queue up a good Maximus screencap to be in the rotation for desktop backgrounds. ;)

Since I doubt there's going to be a surge for any other name, I guess I'll through my lot in for Winnowwill.

[angharads-house.livejournal.com]

single transferrable vote for Winnowwill, then ^_^

[annathepiper]

Are you also changing votes, or just commenting on my sister's? ;)

[angharads-house.livejournal.com]

oh, changing votes, even though various laws likely stipulate that us dang aliens ought not to vote within your half of Cascadia. Hee!

[BTW, want some snow? we have extra today......]

[annathepiper]

Hee, okay, that'll put Winnie up to 15. And hey, Cascadians on either side of the border are welcome to vote in this particular election as far as I'm concerned! ;)

W00t, snow! How fast can you get it down here?

[angharads-house.livejournal.com]

Sorry about the snow, seems like as soon as I wrote that it started raining instead. So, to apologise for the lack of snow, we sent along some wind, free of extra charge, to accompany your rain.

[annathepiper]

Har! You'll be happy to know that the rain got down here totally intact. And the brisk wind makes my commute a bit more lively! ;)

[annathepiper]

Okay! That puts Winnie at 14!

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

Win! No! Will! Win! No! Will!

[annathepiper]

I must now take this moment to snicker mightily at that comment in conjunction with a Strongbow icon.

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

I know, but there weren't really any lines from the Strongbow song that went well as a cheer for Winnie. :)

[annathepiper]

Yeah, that whole ** I'M ABOUT TO SHOOT YOU, BLACK SNAKE BITCH ** aspect of Strongbow's song doesn't really stay on message, here. ;>

I've still got "Catatonia County Rag" in my head, though!
