Scotland: Omens in the sky?

 Looking skyward, the skies seem to point toward Scottish Independence,

but Scotland is part of what makes Great Britain great.

The vote was on today, but the polls are now closed,

 so we'll just  have to wait and see what it all means.

Will my recently purchased Union Jack becomes a souvenir of another time, 

or still fly proudly in the United Kingdom?

It's hard to imagine this flag without the blue background and white cross.

UPDATE: Voters (this time) said NO to independence from the U.K. (this time).

Fake Name Nominations - Round 3

The names selected for the Round 3 of the Fake Name Nominations are now up.

Remember, we're taking about a month to poll and then finalize the results of the nominations. This will be a tiered process; with this final week to narrow down the 15 names that I have deemed usable. Next week will be the "name-off."

Round 2 resulted in a 3-way tie, so we'll have to do a drawing to see which of these fake names will be moving into the "name-off."

June Morgan 2 (28%)
Netalia Mayfield 1 (14%)
Grace Andrekneviel 0 (0%)
Jazmon Jones 2 (28%)
Nellie Mayfield 2 (28%)

Thanks to the person(s) who voted 7 times.

GO VOTE!

New Poll - Fake Name Nominations

Thanks to all those whose snarky and helpful suggestions have created a list of possible fake names for Auntie Nettie to use outside the blogosphere and/or when she's finally finished that m.s. and needs a publisher.

We're going to take about a month to poll and then finalize the results of the fake name nominations process.* In honor of March Madness, this will be a tiered process; 3 weeks of narrowing down the 15 nominations that I have deemed usable, and 1 week of a "name-off."

This week's names are up on the poll and have been randomly selected by a poor office mate who has no idea why I had her pulling names out of a hat.

GO AND VOTE!
