Good luck to all the candidates.

Your institution of learning has come to my attention through certain channels , and I would dearly love to spend some time among you. Consider the following as my application.

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?

I confess myself partial to toasted cheese. It is the perfect sustenance for a long and arduous night of making music with the Captain.

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?

Should it be necessary that Barney prematurely shuffle off this mortal coil, a dissection would surely prove invaluable to the advancement of science.

3. What time is it where you are?

Time for another swig of laudanum The wee hours of the morning.

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.

Such loose conduct can only end in the usual seaman's diseases. A personage saddled with the unfortunate name of Dumbledore, however, might be inclined by force of said nomenclature to a morbid depression of spirits, to the lifting of which he might address his attention to any number of inappropriate subjects. I would certainly never allow him near my aardvark.

5. If you are pushing to be in:

C. Ravenclaw -- You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.

Sure, your desk is a mess due to a pronounced case of torpor, brought on by excessive corpulence. Avoid rich sauces, and refrain from the consumption of duck. Mens sana in corpore sano.

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe.

If ever you are in need of an emergency trephination, I am at your service.

As you know, Prefect Nominations closed last night. Today is the day voting begins. Candidates for Prefect are encouraged to campaign in any manner that they wish.

The following stamped members are eligible to vote for Prefect:

( Members )

Both of the members of Sparklypoo are welcome to call themselves Prefects, if they wish. However, they do not have the privileges or power of prefects. They may, however, boss each other around. Instead of a badge, they may have this tiara with pink rhinestones. They only get one, so they will have to fight over it.

( Members of Sparklypoo )

Now, on to the actual voting. Please vote that you may only vote for Prefects to represent your own house. Gryffindors may only vote for Gryffindor prefect. Hufflepuffs may only vote for Hufflepuff prefect. Ravenclaws may only vote for Ravenclaw prefect. Slytherins may only vote for Slytherin prefect. Votes by a member of one house for prefect in another house will simply be ignored.

You should vote for two members of your house to serve as prefect. You may, if you wish, only vote for one. Votes for more than two, however, will result in the first two, only, to be counted.

Any entity who is sorted into a house before voting closes may vote.

Voting will continue and the polls remain open until 11:59 p.m., Wednesday, January 11, 2006.

Hello Vegetables! Here's my application!

[neil-pye.livejournal.com]

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?

Hello? Is this working? Oh no. All this technology is ganging up on me. Oh wait. It is working. Hel-lo! Cheese, right? Yeah. Uhhh....I'd prefer a vegetable question but okay. Uhhh...gorgonzola, I suppose. Just because it sounds funny.

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?

Oh no! violence! I told Vyvyan it was the holocaust. Heavy. Well, I suppose I would kill Barney first because at least Carrottop has a vegetable name. But why couldn't they call him Lentiltop? I much prefer lentils. But I'd rather not be all heavy and violent and kill Barney. Couldn't he just do with a really good spanking?

3. What time is it where you are?

Oh no! Reality! Um, I'm not sure. It's sometime in the middle of the night, I think. 'cuz it's dark, right. Really dark.

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.

Woah. Hea-vy. That's a fascist question and I'm not going to answer it. Eat Lentils and be mel-low.

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.

Probably down the kabab. But does it have to be in the dark? I seriously think we could get some mood lighting there. Yeah! and play Marillion! Yeah!

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.

Well, I don't think it's right to debate on who anyone should marry, right. But mythologies, right. Yeah, I can deal with that. Yeah. How about the New Urban Pagan Celtic Awareness? I think I'll have to rap with my sufi about this.

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.

Smart? Oh, right. Ummm....Hamburgers are Shit!

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.

Well, I do a lot of washing up. In fact I do ALL the washing up. Nobody ever does anything 'round here and so I'm forced to do like EVERYTHING. Um, and I can make lentils and uhhh...If I am forced to, right, like if Vyvyan gets pregnant again and we have like no bread, and like no bread to make any bread, I could always join the pigs and crash parties.

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe.

Would anyone like any lentils? I could also paint you all an astrological star chart. Yeah! Now that would be like really, really groovy, right. I also have a few old, warped Marillion albulms I could part with. They're LP's, though. I'm not a fascist.
