    Ranked Vote: Discussion Thread

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Hey folks...As much as I hate to say it...regretfully I must inform you all that,
    It's time to eat your vegetables! Lol. Don't look at me like that. If you want to blame someone...blame Kode!

    The Vegetable Vote!​

    [​IMG]​
    .....perhaps we can make a salad with them....:/

    Anyways, for those who don't know, this vote is part of a series of Ranked votes I'm setting up to test out just how alternative voting methods like Instant Runoff and Ranked Pairs stack up against your standard Plurality Vote. For more information on that, please feel free to check out these two discussion threads:
    What To Do To Reduce Partisan Dysfunction In Politics
    Solutions Oriented Approach to Restoring Meaningful Civil Discourse

    Now, if you've already voted in the Smart Phone vote and the Ice Cream vote, let me warn you, this vote is going to be a little bit different than either of those. No option letters or nomination phases for this one. Instead, to participate in this vote, simply list out your most favorite vegetables in order of preference. You can list as many as you want (though preferably not too many more than about 10), and I just ask that you keep them all in a single post, preferably all on the same line, separated by commas, like this:
    Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Olives, Peppers​

    Wait...what?! You're telling me those aren't vegetables?.....Blasphemy!
    And FYI, voting will continue through this coming Friday (4/20).

    No bonus option here, but for those of you with more of a sweet tooth,
    please find below the link to the Ice Cream vote :knifefork::hungry::

    Winner: Carrots, Potatoes, and Green Peas!

    This thread reminds me of a joke: Margaret Thatcher (PBUH lol) took her Cabinet members out to dinner. The waiter asks for her order 'I'll have the steak and kidney pudding please.' 'Right you are, Madam - and the vegetables?' 'Oh they'll have the same as me!' :mrgreen:

    I was wondering if anyone would catch them. But I think of them as veggies!

    I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that if you go to the produce section you'll find those with the vegetables and not the fruits.

    You know what they say about Tomatoes!

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad :D

    Mushrooms top it but they are technically fungus

    Must be an Irish heritage because the humble 'Tatter tops it followed by sweet potatoe - which I will happily eat raw the cauliflower eggplant and the 'humble carrot. Mind you carrots don't last like they used to. Went to the veggie crisper the other day and the carrots were so old and wrinkly that it reminded me of the time I worked in a nursing home :D

    Perhaps BB prefers the "veggies" that just sit quietly and don't drool a lot! ;)
