Thank you, thank you, thank you for not putting my boss as one of the choices. He’s been checking the site regularly, waiting to see if he made the cut.
You get my vote, Chief.

Dang.
I wanted to vote for Grant’s boss’s llama.

xanthan
He may hate the Giants, but he sure is funny about it.

Now this’ll end up like election, with xanthan as Reese Witherspoon and groug as Chris Klein.

I dunno, Natto could be the student who counted the ballots before Matthew Broderick, and then spat at Matthew Broderick’s face later in the movie.

The movie Election was about a student body president election. One of the candidates got disqualified, leaving Reese Witherspoon and Chris Klein running. Chris Klein’s character was such a nice guy he voted for Reese Witherspoon’s character, and he ended up losing by one vote. And then Matthew Broderick’s character falsified the results because he hated Reese Witherspoon’s character. In the analogy, I guess that means that Grant hates you.

I think Natto is more matthew broderick in this case. So Natto will likely have an affair and get stung by a bee on his eye.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
In that case, who is the other teacher, Matthew Broderick’s friend who sleeps with Reese Witherspoon? Goofus?

Walrusman seems like a good choice too. I could go with either one.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
I agree
Where are Goofus and Walrusman in the poll?
