Official Great Works Draft (5 Viewers)

Let me clarify that if the FFA is included, it would be through rankings, and only through PMs (to verify no shenanigans). Maybe even invite only.
Meh, but then we'd have 100 pages of fighting about who gets an invite. 1/2 of Team Fennis (that's me :unsure: ) still votes no.
Does this mean that The Following™ has to vote no, too? :popcorn:
The Following is in shambles. :popcorn:
Once I exposed them, it was only a matter of time

I owe a pick, right?

20something.10 or 11- Movie, Bladerunner- dir Ridley Scott (Director's Cut).

Star Wars, yeah-ok... but this one continues to define the look and feel of all sci-fi films today without being as cheesy. Story, writing, direction and especially Art Direction- all fantastic and genre defining.

As with most of my other picks, I'll be back to write it up more fully. Just had to have it (although I'm still kinda reeling from my Rules of the Game pick- had a comedy lined up in Frenchy's place).

Yo dude.

Rumor has it we're in need of a judge for the song category . . .

 
So that rounds out my Movie Cat:

- Seven Samurai

- The Rules of the Game

- The Third Man

- Blade Runner

Other than Dr. Stangelove, 3 for 4 of the movies I had lined up to take at the beginning of this.

Thanks, gb- I like your picl too.
 
29.12 - Nuclear Marine Propulsion, Invention

Nearly went a slightly different direction, but I've yet to pick an invention.

Save perhaps one, the most significant invention to fuel (pun intended) the Cold War.

I'm vaguely disturbed by this conversation. Have you guys been watching Olympia again?
 
I have no idea where we are in the draft. Kinda lost in a sea of picls and delicious salsa verde. Can someone help a brotha out with an update?

Mid-week.He said he's going to try and catch up tomorrow.
 
We don't need to move to another thread while Tim is on vacation. Rodg can make two posts in a row in this thread, then copy and paste the first two posts of this thread in to those.

Tim you can put a link on the first post to those two posts, so they are easy to find and the heroes running the Google site can update the site as usual.

Was just going to post something to this effect. No need for a new thread, that will only serve to further complicate things. I can just add the back to back posts when you are about to leave and you can link your first two posts to those while you're gone. Then, when you come back, you can copy what's in my posts to the first posts and continue the updates there. The Googel site/spreadsheet will stay active during this time as well.

I need to pull out the charter, I dont recall if you have 50% ownership or only 49%.

22.07 WrestleMania - Play.

Professional wrestling, or pro wrestling, is a non-competitive professional sport, where matches are prearranged by the promotion's booking staff, and is also considered an athletic performing art, containing strong elements of catch wrestling, mock combat and theatre.
While each wrestling match is ostensibly a competition of athletics and strategy, the goal of each match from a business standpoint is to excite and entertain the audience. Although the competition is staged, dramatic emphasis can be utilized to draw out the most intense reaction from the audience.
While true exhibition matches are not uncommon, most matches tell a story analogous to a scene in a play or film, or an episode of a serial drama: The face will win (triumph) or lose (tragedy).
Link.
Great pick.
 
Ok.

Where are we?

By the way, the last 7 or so pages were funny, sad, hysterical, unbelievable and downright entertining. This draft may top the other two.

 
Ah, here it is:

Sweet, I get to pick again soon.

 
Bob Lee Swagger will be on the clock in 15 minutes. After that, Scott Norwood. DougB, thatguy, and El Floppo all have picks to make up. DougB has several picks at this point and has indicated that he may decide not to continue; he said he'll let us know shortly.

So, let me see if I have this straight.

wikkid didn't like something flysack did and considered it arrogant some how. This coming from the same arrogant windbag that actually compared what he thought he went through in this thread to the Cain Mutiny, as if he and his opinions in this little exercise are actually worth something more then little ones and zeros flying through space to nowhere in particular. In between all this, we have another drafter actually losing sleep at night because he's trying to figure out how to draft the doggie style position for inventions, the smilie list for poetry, and his own schtick for novel. Then, back to the arrogant heavy weight ifight where something happened to make the arrogance get kicked up a notch like Emeril was there and threw igarlic on the ifire.

Meanwhile, our commissioner has only threatened to quit 5 times, actually did quit twice, came back both times, attempted to resign, did resign, came back, tried to turn over the power to someone else, realized that it probably meant no one would then listen to anything he said and thought better of it and now is back, has promised to not quit again, will not resign and is on top of all things draft. Until the next time. And he doesn't like a certain group of p:e:ople that seem to have it out for him because that is the only reason why his team wouldn't make it out of the first round of voting - not the crappy craptastic picks he has made.

DougB is probably sitting on a beach somewhere with a russian chick on one arm and a brazilian chick on the other, reading this thread and laughing at all of us. But then he realized that he had a russian chick on one arm and a brazilian chick on the other arm and all he could think about was reading this thread. So, that shotgun blast you just heard in the distance was DougB dropping out. I suggest we find a new drafter.

Which again brings us back to the guy that came up with this idea, fora free flowing draft where ideas could be discussed and it could take a long time, who now is quitting because he doesn't like the ideas being discussed, it's taking too long, and no one seems to bow down to his surpeme intellect concerning all things in this draft, and therefore his greatness could be used elswhere. nufced. So, he's gone. We actually got a final I quit and I'm leaving post, which in usual FFA fashion will mean that he will post again within 5 days, give or take a day.

And in the middle of all of this a poster that actually got married during a draft - no word yet if she actually had a laptop open while the vows were being shared - actually got her possibly real new husband to volunteer to be an actual judge in this thing which means she either held sex over his head until he did it, he isn't real, or she seriously married a :shrug: and that is a low blow coming from someone who has now been a part of all three of these frackin drafts. If I asked my wife to be a judge here, she would very calmly go get a suitcase and leave. Hey, wait a minute..........

....ok, back. Didn't know you could fit that much......... never mind. Ok, and here we are. Somewhere close to halfway. We've lost one drafter, who happened to be the creator. We've got a possibly real outside real world spouse coming in to be a judge. We've got one owner who is laying in a pool of blood with a russian chick and brazilian chick going through his wallet, and flysack is still here, funny as ever. Has tim quit again yet?

Have I missed anything that happened in just the past 48 frackin hours? Jeesh.

:censored: :popcorn: :thumbup:You know, I was bummed to miss the GAD, then once I particpated in the WGD, I realized that it was fun but I didn't need to do another one for a long time. But the entertainment factor on this one has been through the roof. Quite the page-turner :shrug:

POST OF THE DRAFT. :shrug: :censored: :popcorn:ETA: also, are we still drafting? I know I owe 2 writeups (Herodotus and Kafka). Plan on doing them today. Really. I promise. I miss the buttsecks with BobbyLayne. He won't even give me a hug at this point. :nerd:

Yankee your analysis is highly accurate.

I enjoy having the power! More power for timschochet!

But this morning, thanks probably to flysack, I woke up and discovered that I had turned into a cockroach. My wife is faintly annoyed by this development.

You forgot about Norwood and Fat Drunk and Stupid throwing down on Salsa recipes. Also, I believe Uncle Humuna was without pants at some point. Other than that, good synopsis.
