    Hi and Happy New Year Misty and Misha!

    wow, can't believe I made it to the top ten!  I am flattered!   smile

    Happy New Year folks.

    Delighted to be in the top-ten. smile

    It would be very unethical to vote for myself. Luckily, that does not prevent me from sabotaging the competition.

    Now, where is that pesky Jackalope Rabbit. I have some...ahem...seasoning for his butter tarts.

      It's definitely NOT unethical for you to vote for yourself. It's every man, woman and jackalope for themselves. Vote often! You may vote as many times as you wish!

      Sufidreamer,

      I cannot understand why you should be delighted to be in the top-ten of "most boring hub titles"

      Your hub title "A Day in the Life of an Accountant". may not make it to the first position on "most boring hub titles". Perhaps it may do better in "most boring hub" (please do not take me seriously).

    I also feel weird voting for myself, so I haven't. smile  Will keep voting, but notice, I can't vote within a few minutes as it gives me a message "you already voted today". So I vote on the next day.

      Hi VioletSun,
      There's a 90 second lag time between votes, so basically if you vote, refresh the page (hit F5 if you're using Windows) you're good to go again. Vote for yourself. It's the American way smile

      Thanks! hehe. smile Just cast my vote and now its a tie between Evilpants and Trish:  "Fun at he Cemetry" and "Naming your Empty Toilet Paper and Paper Towel Cardboard Cylinders." I like quite a few others too, and have voted for them as well.
