Oh - it's just when you do the 'throw', the reveal, the rock-paper-or-scissors gesture. If that clears it up, you can change your vote here (http://www.livejournal.com/poll/?id=1157201&mode=enter).

*is blonde*

Hah! I was this close to posting a blonde joke in reply, but I didn't. :D

good. I rather detest them. I'm kind of a hypocrite.

Y'know, there was a good piece in Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age talking about the moral status of hypocrisy - pity I don't remember it. In the end, I think they concluded that hypocrisy could as easily be interpreted as a sign of a more advanced ethical system instead of a weakness of will.

Which has no relevance, so yay!

oh man. I kind of love you right now. We go from blonde jokes to Neal Stephenson in like, three comments. Yay!
