PARROT NAMING VOTE

Hi All,
A rising tide of discontent regarding the name choices and the voting process is stirring within the Electorate. I assure all our readers that the counting of the votes is highly secure.

As regards the names; I propose that we take the top choices from this vote (probably MOJO and PETE) and then after a "Call for other names", that we re-run the Poll.

Comments encouraged.

How dare you subvert the electoral process! Mojo won, do you think this is national or UCO recount politics!!!!!!!!
PS A parrot wearing flowers and fruit cannot be named Salty.

Mike said...

Dave, splendid idea , I'll avoid blacking out until I vote this time .Pay no attention to you know who. Thank You. Mike

Mojo defined
1. Self-confidence, Self-assuredness. As in basis for belief in ones self in a situation. Esp. I context of contest or display of skill such as sexual advances or going into battle.
2. Good luck fetish / charm to bolster confidence.
3. ability to bounce back from a debilitating trauma and negative attitude.

Everyone needs more MOJO.

Hi All,
Elaine makes an excellent point, it is not right to rerun the Poll because some do not like the result.

The result of this Poll should stand.

It is very sad that such an important subject only garnered 26 votes.Is is possible that some people voted more than once?

UCO President said...

Hi A Nony Mouse,

Voting twice is possible, but not from the same computer, as the computer IP is logged to avoid exactly this problem.

If you own two computers, indeed you may vote twice.

I share your concern as regards the fact that close to 800 unique visitors have come to the BLOG; collectively they account for thousands of visits and close to 30,000 page views, and yet, as you note, only 26 votes.

Ok, Ok, Do as you please, I suppose it is the right thing to do. Mike

a parrot (or ...) wearing flowers and FRUIT, HAS to be called "salty" (I'll lend him one of my tattoos and he can be "rough trade")

DAVE: the winner IS ...

Hi everybody,
I am just running in and running out. Very busy Saturday so far. You will all be glad to know that this morning, my eye doctor changed my prescription and uped (is that a word?) it very much. So I now have a sample new contact lens in and new glasses on the way. Hopefully when I get everything you won't hear me complaining about how small the comments are anymore.

Ok back to the thread. Sorry Dave. I'm rushing.

I love the description of Mojo. Thank you so much ElaineB for explaing that. Really cool description from a really cool gal.

However, I am also crazy about Salty (Mike's suggestion). The reason I like salty is because this blog was started by our fearless leader who is a little bit salty. One who is never afraid to voice his opinions. Yes - I would call that salty.

The choice belongs to everyone. I will go along with any decision.
I have let go of Pete (sorry Capt John) and now am in favor of Mojo or Salty.
One loyal reader and poster as always,
Chris
ps: more later

If "we" are going to name the PARADISE PARROT after DAVE (which IS definitely the RIGHT thing to do!) the name should be MOXIE!

There, I change my vote to, MOXIE !!!

To those of you from the New England area, MOXIE I believe was a soft drink. Any of you out there remember it or remember drinking some MOXIE?
I believe that it had a very distinctive taste.

The election should be a message to all, we in C.V. are fed up with all the lie's and half truths that we saw on the Blog.

Dear Annonymous,
I just got done reading all 15 coments on this post. Your comment was the 15th. The following are your words: "we in C.V. are fed up with all the lie's and half truths that we saw on the Blog".
Well dear Annonymous, if you are so fed up with the lies and half truths on this blog, why are you spending so much of your precious time reading this blog. You must be enjoying what you are reading considering you had to get through 14 comments before you could post the 15th comment. I find that a little curious.
And the very weird part is, this particular post is simply a fun post, totally harmless. It is nothing serious, nothing that anyone could possibly be offended or upset about. It is just a bunch of friends passing a little time and enjoying a chuckle together.

So I say this. We live in America, home of the brave and land of the free. Remember those words? If you don't like what you see on this blog, then don't read this blog.
And, if you care to join us, then that's ok too. Different opinions are very welcome. Be careful though, you might find yourself getting very hooked on this blog! Letting it all out feels oh so good!
The choice is yours.
Sincerely,
ChrisJ

I love Moxie! Good one Capt John. I think the Blog should be renamed "Moxie" in honor of Dave. Now that I think about it, Moxie fits Dave more than Salty.
Dave's got MOXIE! Lots of MOXIE!

Topper said...

What a bunch of fickle folks we are!!!
I think we should start calling Capt John SALTY. He's the salty one!!! Dave's the MOXIE one.

Mojo parrot is adorable but that doesn't mean he is forever. I thought the got-lime-iguana had a certain je ne sais quoi! They could rotate and be renamed quarterly. OR if they do not bring in many new bloggers who post they could be FIRED!.
