In light of the recent revelation of Howard's death, it's in rather poor taste to be insulting him. I know you didn't know about it at the time of that post, but you may consider editing it.

Wait, what? Howard/Il Duce died?!

The first post is when there was evidence, but not definite proof. Mankycaant posted verification a few pages in. :(

I just hope other members who read that will realize that GuitarBizarre didn't know at the time.

I wouldn't count on it making much of a difference

The last time Howard the Duck ever made me chuckle was making GB look like a total douchebag.

As if it really takes much to do so :)

Correct, I had no idea. That said, I'll remove them and not replace them. I think its disingenuous to claim my opinions changed in light of this, but its true that its really not on the level to vote that way in light of it.

And Hermione, remove your head from your bowels at your earliest convenience.

Yeah. Since people never check timestamps I'll post them: It was 01:41 this morning when the death thread was posted. I made my nominations at 23:47 the previous day.
