A couple people have mentioned that Bernard Brock passed away, which I had realized. I'll think about how to make an alteration based on that, if I can come up with somthing that makes sense.

Thank you very much to those that have voted...this might be a pretty interesting experiment.

Yes, you can also vote for a team if your name is already on it too.

Thnx for voting.

Good question, and I don't have the answer. Let's say medium term.

The outcome to this voting may, or may not surprize you...but ya'all should vote.

I voted!

That was fascinating, watching myself evaluate those teams. I have very little faith in my ability to choose partners wisely.

Ted is on every team for a reason. And you're all gonna want to chat about this a lot more (I think) when the voting is over in 2 days...trust me ;-)

The more people that vote on this...the more it is going to be very, very, very interesting.

And remember...if your name is on a team...you can still vote for that team.

Me, I'm on the Groucho team - ie I wouldn't join any team that would have me as a member...

What if I don't like any of the colors that have been assigned to me?

No worries Debbie, you can pick any single color team that appeals to you, just because your name is on it doesn't mean you have to pick it. Not at all.

One hour 30 minutes left in the poll, 11 votes so far.

Calling all last minute votes. I hope this will be interesting and cause some interesting chats. Perhaps people may get mad, but I hope not. Me, I think it will be interesting...but that may be just me.

BTW, I'm in meetings 10AM to 5PM, then oodles of baseball (if the rain goes away)...so I may not get to revisit this for a short time.

In 90 minutes people can start guessing how the teams were put together...if anyone desires.

How were the teams put together? I'm just back in town and didn't see this until today, so while I didn't vote, you do have my curiousity.

How was the teams picked and how come my name is only on one team. Generally speaking, and I say this with some modesty, I am usually a sought after team member. Since about eighth-grade, I made most football teams and all teams having to do with swimming, bicycling, or work.

Ooops! I can see that skimming is not working for me. I apologize. I'm on several teams now that I carefully read the lists. Mea culpa. I still wanna make my own team!

I don't think so. I'm guessing it has something to do with our scores.

Why the hell can't you say? What kinda (Geruund form of the F-word suppressed) artist is that anyway? An artist's JOB is to tell!?!

Ms. Goodie-Two-Shoes-Rabbi's-Daughter ;-)

David's right, tho'...it has to do with your points - and - (hint) who gave them

MAKE-UP

The lists are for 12 of the top 13 Users:

1 Mark Grimes black
2 Michael Maranda grey
3 Lars Hasselblad Torres white
4 Jean ~ Nurture Girl ~ Russell tan
5 Martín Rizzi * Mexico turquoise
6 Christina Jordan teal
7 ted purple
8 Debbie Gleason orange
9 Evonne Heyning green
10 Julie Caldwell yellow
11 Linda "Blessed by Gulu!" Nowakowski blue
13 Anne Marie Bellavance red

There are some variances but that could be because of the flux of feedback. Each team has 11 people (top ten + the person who owns the list).

The interesting part here is how he assigned colors! The only two I have a clue on is 1) Martin and much Mexican jewelry is silver and turquoise and 2) Mark's heart is black as Satan. (If I am on the right track there, does that mean that Lars is a virgin?)
