ROUND SEVEN: Which of these do you WANT TO ELIMINATE?
 
This is very important that you understand what you're voting for here. You are not voting for the thing you like the best this time, instead you are voting for the thing (out of these five) that you want OUT FOR GOOD.

What one thing among these five are just not as good as the other four? What's the one thing that stands out to you? The one thing that makes you go "Wha?? What the fuck is THAT still doing in there? How did it make it this far?"
That's the one you should vote for. Whatever one just doesn't match up to the others. One of these things don't belong: WHICH IS IT?




The remaining four things will go onto the semi-finals in randomized matches.


Again: JUST TO POUND HOME THE POINT WITH A HAMMER: YOU ARE VOTING FOR THE THING YOU LIKE THE --LEAST-- this time. Hopefully it can't be put more clear than I have put it (a million times) in this OP.

Damn you damn you DAMN YOU :raeg:

Borborygmi 17th August 2016 10:55 AM

I don't understand. Are we voting for which one we like best?

Idle Thoughts 17th August 2016 10:57 AM

I just knew someone would say something like that...heh.

Well you voted "tacos" so it's obvious you yourself were confused and accidentally voted for the best thing.

Borborygmi 17th August 2016 11:12 AM

I myself am confused by the lack of sides and desserts. This poll reads like a death row prisoner's last meal request.

I don't like tacos. I've been voting against them this whole poll.

Tacos are far inferior to everything else on that list...but vote how you will.

Borborygmi 17th August 2016 11:39 AM

By the way, I'm glad Idle chose to handle the problem of having 5 left in this fashion. I didn't weigh in on this when he presented different options earlier, because I instead took the opportunity to tell him that he sucks.

PS: Idle sucks. :tongue:

Rat Diva 17th August 2016 11:42 AM

Yeah, and he broke Fenris :( (before, he was just "factory irregular")

Lack of baloney is a disgrace too

Giraffe 17th August 2016 01:33 PM

I can't imagine a universe in which, when faced with the choice between eating a nice ribeye steak and a chicken fried steak, I'd choose the latter. Hence, chicken fried steak has to go.

Jules 17th August 2016 01:35 PM

On that logic, nothing up there comes anywhere close to a nice ribeye, since you cretins voted out my precious cioppino in the first round.

But I really still don't care for enchiladas.

Idle Thoughts 17th August 2016 02:06 PM

At this point, the only thing, I feel, that can rival or possibly beat steak is tacos. Anything else is an easy win for steak.

I mean steak vs enchiladas? Uhhhhhh, there's no contest there. Duh. Steak easily wins. Steak vs PM? Again, very easy.

Tacos is the only thing left that could POSSIBLY make it a close one against Steak.

Previously I figured FRIED CHICKEN would have done that, but idiots on here voted fried chicken to lose, which makes no sense at all since good, real fried chicken just might be the best dish on this planet.


But since you all got rid of that one, steak is going to easily win at this point, I feel.

Inner Stickler 17th August 2016 02:07 PM

i hope you all develop meat allergies and never get to eat your precious ribeye steaks again

Idle Thoughts 17th August 2016 02:10 PM

I mean imagine, if you will, this:

Steak VS Tacos and PM VS CE in the semi finals.

And then it's a FINAL of Steak vs................................................ .......chicken enchiladas *crickets chirp*

If I posted "Steak VS CE" anywhere else on the net and said "And this is the final of a "what's the best meal of all time?" poll", people would be having a fuckin fit. They'd be like "Uh, huh? Best food of all time and CE got to the end? WHERE THE FUCK IS CHICKEN AND PORK CHOPS AND CHEESECAKE???"

I swear to God that would be the reaction on any NORMAL board with NORMAL members...but not here. Not with you fucking dumbasses at the helm with voting power. And you all say I suck. Yeahhh, that's not it.


Just kidding, I love you all and this has been fun.

Jules 17th August 2016 02:18 PM

Even if you put the steak in the tacos, it's still not close to a classic, simple, wood grilled ribeye. Use Santa Maria Red Oak please, and cook it so the delicious line of fat around the edge is crispy but melts in your mouth. Leave it very pink and juicy in the center, but with a nice crust. Roll your eyes back out of your head when you're done eating it; you'll need them to lick the plate.

NAF1138 17th August 2016 02:22 PM

I'm homering for all steak and Mexican food over pizza. In the event of a tie move my vote to chicken fried steak.

silenus 17th August 2016 03:39 PM

I have a list of everybody who voted against CFS and a DVD of The Mikado.

Fenris 17th August 2016 04:18 PM

What is wrong with you mutants? Chicken fried steak is probably the best thing left, especially since you get mashed potatoes and gravy with it.

Pizza Margharita is boring. Dough-chunky tomato sauce-mozzerella cheese-big clumps of fresh basil. AND NOTHING ELSE! BOOOOR-ING!

I can only assume that your parents all ate lead paint chips before conceiving you. :raeg:

This is the metric I'm going to use to choose for this and the final round.

PM is the most boring and tasteless of the choices. So it goes buh-bie.

Why do you want me to explode, Idle?

Fenris 17th August 2016 06:31 PM

Just as an aside, I demand an OFFICIAL RULING, Idle. A taco has to have normal Tex/Mex type fillings, right? Shrimp or even Fish Tacos should be fine, and yes, it's versatile, but you can't count it as a taco if you stuff it with Mu Shu pork, say, or if you put an italian sausage, marinara sauce and cheese inside the shell, correct?

pickle berry 17th August 2016 06:38 PM

No way. A taco is stuff in a hard tortilla/waffle taco shaped shell. Are you going to sit here and tell me that a Choco Taco is not a taco?

pickle berry 17th August 2016 06:48 PM

Ok, I've thought long and hard about it and I am going to concede with the consesus.

If tacos are anthying in a taco shell or is specifically just TexMex/Mex stuff, including the fishy stuff. Which would exclude my example of a Choco Taco and things like garlic-buttered French snails tacos and caramel covered termites tacos.

Maybe a poll is in order to see what the public decides?

How the poll turns out may change my vote for the last couple of rounds, not this poll. PM is still Meg.

Mostly true, yes...you can't, like, stuff a pizza inside one.

Kat 17th August 2016 07:20 PM

I can try.

NAF1138 17th August 2016 07:37 PM

I would say anything that makes sense with the very well put together Wikipedia page would satisfy me.

So no pizza, but pretty much any cooked and marinated meat and vegetables mixture with a sauce.

Shenanigans!!!!

By that argument, you'd allow an abomination like a Chinese Beef-and-Broccoli Taco. Or a spinach and marinated ground sausage meat lasagne taco.

The Futility of Nihilism 18th August 2016 02:43 AM

I suppose at least in theory one could make a Chinese Beef-and-Broccoli Taco. But not that other thing, because it has lasagna. No pasta in tacos.

Spinach and sausage tacos don't sound half bad. It would be awful with, say, ricotta and an Italian meat sauce, but just sausage and spinach with maybe roasted garlic and a squeeze of lemon? Yup that sounds great.

And Mexican fusion foods are very popular right now. It's usually Korean not Chinese, but if it's yummy why not?

Blame Idle for opening this Pandoras box by not nominating specific tacos.

One night, Fenris decided that he needed a chicken fried steak, but
chicken fried steak was no longer in the megapoll. So, he drew a
chicken fried steak taco.

I was the first one to vote against it, you myopic furbag! :fist:

Now, if anyone's looking for me, I'll be camping out on Borby's front lawn with a boombox and begging him to marry me. (Him = Borby, not Fenris or the boombox.)

I love stories with a happy ending.

@Idle


How long are the semi's going to stay open? Because I would like to read some opinions before I decide.

Idle Thoughts 18th August 2016 12:54 PM

About a day. I figure tomorrow afternoon I'll look to see at what the results are and then make it. Maybe 27 hours from RIGHT NOW.

pickle berry 18th August 2016 01:44 PM

Ok, thanks.
