This, my friends, is what you call a difficult choice.

I found the selection of top story easier than trimming the nominations down to three. I'm no foot soldier. I'm a fuckin' lizard!

All cat stories start with this statement: “My mother, who was the first cat, told me this...”

Three excellent stories, but for me, at least, there's a clear favourite.

Me too, although I don't think we agree on which one it is.  :D

"People commonly use the word 'procrastination' to describe what they do on the Internet. It seems to me too mild to describe what's happening as merely not-doing-work. We don't call it procrastination when someone gets drunk instead of working." - Paul Graham

I found it interesting that two of the three nominees were read by the same person.

Three way tie? Crazy. I don't understand how two thirds of y'all can be so wrong.

And that was me, Mr. Tie-breaker.

Until two more come along and fix things.

I'm in the same boat, easy choice among these three, tough as hell picking my top three.

Rawrrsa!

Ya, we'll give it a week or so to see if it holds onto it before closing the poll.  Though I'm sure the re-exposre the story is about to get will only help...
