Lately, like the last seven months, folks have been getting a tad cranky. When they aren’t dreaming about football, they are on the internet ‘til their eyes get that four-hour OBNUG glaze. Just how much longer will we be mesmerized by kitten abuse? How many cheetos with a Schlitz chaser can one beanbag chair support? Each photo of new uniforms on the fashion runway garners hundreds of comments with “combat” and “butt stripes” taking top honors. We are a desperate crowd.

But relief is at hand (stop that). The countdown is nearing its climax. So let us pause to reflect on the roll OBNUG plays in saving sanity. Take a moment to vote in the polls. (You can find Poll #2 in a separate fanpost.) Unlike political polls, these do not have an already predetermined outcome. Your votes on OBNUG actually count.
