The Syndicate

I'm so glad I didn't miss the end of this.

Voted, even if just for kicks. And to keep llama happy.

Hi. please volunteer okay, animals? all your animal teammates now depend on you for the win

I voted for the beach because Florida.

I'm going away to Orlando for the week for work, so I won't be very active.

But what if there's a lynch switch?

Arglebargle.

Really???

Oops, I said that before I scolled back up to the poll.

Last night, we had a Happy Hour (a 5.5-hour long Happy Hour) to celebrate our law clerk finishing law school (she's accepted a position with us, which is great because she's one of my best friends at work). While out, I asked one of the guys to rate all the space films. We decided that 2001 is categorically the best space film.

Voting A Person Called Matt.

This one is legit my favorite.

OMG Maddie. I almost cried when you came forward.

I picked river because I am obsessed with the movie The Thin Man.

In the hopes there is not some underhanded chicanery going on .. there's probably not though. When has that ever happened in a mafia game.

* votes Roxy *

This has been a confusing game because every time someone talks about Animals, I think they are meaning Animal Sanctuary Squad.

Would you believe me if I told you that I've made a list (or two) listing my favorite things to list? True story.

Anyway.

A lot of yoga poses or asanas are named after animals, including my own favorite pose, Pigeon.

Is your favorite yoga pose named after an animal?

Downdog
Updog
Crow
Side Crow
Flying Crow
Locust
Cat
Cow
Eagle
Puppy
Camel
Butterfly
Crane (I can't do this one yet)
Peacock (ditto)
Scorpion (same)
Cow Face
Fish
Tortoise
Crocodile
Seal
Lion
Firefly
Monkey
Frog
Cobra
Horse

Did I forget any?

Are Super Furry Animals = Furries?

Good call, let's proceed with caution.

Any other animals up for grabs?

If you get bored and need something whimsical, I made a fun list of 26 different sandwiches in the Random Questions thread.

Even honeytongued inky killed a man nobody still saltpeter me.

I promise not to saltpeter you.

Wait, are you asking us to?

Man, I love consomme!

Would you like to tell us anything?

Hi sug, are you cursed?

Oh man, that would have been the baddie team to end all baddie teams. Sorry you didn't get to take over the world with lasers and lunch meat.

I picked the tree option because we did it at yoga tonight for a minute on each leg and also because I might be a bit of a treehugger. There's legit a photo of me hugging a tree on facebook.

Hey, remember that ode Michael Jackson did to Eno?

"Don't Stop Til You Get Eno"

I'll go ahead and vote S~V~S.

Go Go Eno Go

Today at work was brutal.

What are your favorite movies featuring animals?

Mine are:

1. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
2. Bringing Up Baby
3. Fantastic Mr. Fox
4. The Thin Man
5. Ernest & Celestine
6. A Cat in Paris
7. Out of Africa
8. The Wizard of Oz
9. Harry Potter
10. The Muppets Movie

Yay something we can agree on!

Something else we can agree on is how good the Eno documentary was!

Which is a good look!

And leads me to my next bit -- my favorite Eno/Bowie collab, which is also my favorite Bowie album because it is the best.

I'm legit dying

Hey, do y'all remember when Jennifer Lopez starred in that biopic about Eno?

Yay, I was a Nervous Horse that you were going to get mod-killed!

To show I do respect the theme of this lovely game (turely the most fun I've had since Felt!):

Ooh, that's a fun mix! I'm instantly regretting my omission of ducks.

linki - I'd want you on my island but not the actual animal ok because they are a handful.

If you lived on an island and could pick 10 animals to live on there with you, what would you pick? (No need to count food animals).

here is what I would pick

1. Mongooses
2. Foxes
3. Stoats
4. Otters
5. Rabbits
6. Cats
7. Oscelots
8. Bears
9. Chris Pratt
10. Goats

I did because I love The Talking Heads.

And because David Byrne is so amazing.

I'm glad we are playing David Byrne mafia.

I picked Tiger Mountains.

For the animals.

Speaking of Animal Sanctuary Squad -- where the heck are you? Is it just me? And Vomps, who has been extra hilarious this game, btw.

I don't blame anyone fro deviating from the plan. I voted with the group, because let's try it, and there's rarely a better plan this early on anyway. My skepticism remains, but I'd rather leave that door open just in case.
I had been such a Nervous Horse about my hearings for over a week, but I had them this morning and they went swimmingly.

Yesterday I feel into a full bathtub with all my clothes on, so what a difference a day makes.

Can't we go one game without the passive-aggressive wall o' smileys?

What?

What's wrong with it?

If anything, it's completely in the spirit of the game, and I'm certain it's a scenario Llama considered.

It's certainly an oblique strategy!

I'm cynical that this is going to work, but I have no reason to doubt MP. I can't think of one reason he'd lie about that.

Unless a lynch attempt powers him up somehow? Probably not, right.

Sure, I'm in.

linki @ Vomps - that's not an invalid line of thinking, sug.

My bad, I read the plan, but I just went back and read MP's posts -- I hadn't caught that he had outed himself as an Animal.

Sincere question -- is there a reason y'all are voting so early instead of watching how things play out over the next day?

David Byrne as the non-player option? Supafrown.

I had never even heard of Eno before I signed up for this game, and as of now have only listened to one of the songs posted on the other page - Over Fire Island. I liked the beat. And it was short. But mostly, the name caught my attention because long ago, a friend of mine gave me an absurd choose-your-own-adventure book called Escape From Fire Island. I will say no more.

Also, I will vote Over Fire Island.

I know what you mean, blooper. I'm buried in hearings and hearing prep this week. A perfect time to procrastinate!

Are we going to fall into a burning ring of fire? Are we going to go down, down, down and the flames'll grow higher?

Fun fact: I had a friend in college who wasnt allowed to listen to that song because her parents were convinced that it was about pooping.

Why, we've not even started Day 1 yet? Get some pizza and get buckled in.
