And knowing perfectly well that I a cannot choose and not-choose the winner simultaneously.... I'm going to have to base my vote on something else entirely. <br /><br />I'm a sucker for cleverness, so I have to go with Palinode (they carry the burden of our dreams? New favorite saying!). However, Aman does have the upper hand b/c he is the one who came up with this Five Question Forum. Can't I award some of my 500,000 points to both of you?Amy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15137265140715548518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6943519.post-30478369979434346162009-08-03T04:42:38.196-06:002009-08-03T04:42:38.196-06:00Ugh this us tough.

Aman's flowing punky style, against palinode's clever wordicisms and lush library backdrop.<br /><br />This is like trying to comparing Dave Attell to Stephen Colbert. Can't really say one is better!<br /><br />BUT if there has to be a winner. Aman, I love you dude - but palinode has to take this round due to his crafty use of the word 'Ovipositor', dream-laden swallows and underwater shopping malls.<br /><br />Now I feel dirty...
