Just like real life voting!!!

I voted also
Since RR has a high percentage of un/underemployed readers the site has a real chance to take this category.
Let’s show those fuckin’ GOP backed blogs we will turn out en masse to Vote 2012!

i tried to vote for the restaurant awards a couple of weeks ago
just a bit into it, my eyes glazed over. there are just too many categories in these awards.
i’ll vote for rr & then just randomly choose an answer for the rest of them. i’m not sure this is an accurate way to determine the best of cincinnati
You only have to vote for one place in each page.
You don’t have to fill out the entire survey.

Follow on Twitter: @jluckhaupt. Buy The Wire-to-Wire Reds today!
Yeah, there are some awful chains that win these things.
Was it two years ago where McDonalds won Metromix’s top burger and Papa Johns won top pizza?
Best appetizer
Cheese sticks at Greyhound Tavern
Dayman, Fighter of the Nightman, Champion of the Sun
They have my vote for best fried chicken.
And if salad dressing was a category, their cream of cucumber would win as well!

How about you agree to waive the fine and I promise not to email you the remaining eighty six photos of my dog dressed as a bear.

This may not come as a surprise to you,
But I wouldn’t eat any of those things.

Out of cuiosity, are you vegan?
Also, do vegetarians eat fish? I have no idea how all that works.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
Not vegan, not even vegatarian. Just poor.
I eat meat when I go out (especially if you’re buying) but at home its lentils, chickpeas, and tofu.
I didn’t see seared ahi the first time around, that sounds pretty cool. But shellfish are GROSS in a way only bottom feeders and creepy-crawlers can be. And I may try goetta one day, but not in egg roll form.
FIIN if vegetarians eat fish. I don’t think they do, I think those are pescatarians.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
Agreed on shellfish
and most all seafood, for that matter. It all just tastes like it’s been wet for a long time. Like it’s spent it’s life in a puddle.

How do you guys feel about crabmeat?
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
A good crabcake is good. A bad crabcake is very bad.
My theory is, if I’m going to be at the kind of place where I’ll spend $25 on a good one, there’s probably something else on the menu I’ll like more. This is even more true since I left Maryland.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
Yeah
I don’t hate it, but if I’m spending that kind of money I’m going to get a steak.

Ah, gotcha
You need to move up the corporate ladder, sir!

Best Acupuncturist? Really?
I wanted to write in “Placebo Effect”, but it wouldn’t let me.
That survey is a steaming mess.
The gross and net result of it is that people who spent most of their natural lives riding iron bicycles over the rocky roadsteads of this parish get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of their bicycle as a result of the interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people in these parts who are nearly half people and half bicycles…

The wife started going to an acupuncturist
Western medicine has utterly failed her for years, so we figured what the hell. It seems to help.

I shouldn't ruin this for everyone, but who cares.
The fifth movie is actually a prequel to the first movie. It was really bad, but I guess all of them were.

I watched Paranormal Activity 3 this weekend
My official review – DON’T. Just don’t. Good god what a terrible ass movie.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
The first 2 are decent enough
Wife wants to see the 3rd one bad.

I wasn't really expecting anything, my wife had heard people say it was good
It was not.

I also wanted to vote "Thundering Turtle" for best religious leader, and it wasn't available
Pete Rose was listed under “Best Athlete”. Have they seen Pete lately?
Calipari was available under Best Coach, but UK was not available under best college team.
Lots of weirdness on that thing

There's a cult of (mildly annoying) downtown urbanists that really take this thing seriously
And some of them blog, so there’s some stiff competition here.
Cult of (mildly annoying) downtown urbanists.....
Wouldn’t all of them blog? Yay for sterotypes.
Well, when they go through my survey there are going to be a lot fo blank answers.

you have to go in & add choices if they aren't there
i tried to do that for work. it may or may not have worked
Please tell me you wrote my name in for favorite local celebrity
Although I’m guessing you wrote in “Opening Day” for best burger, which will confuse the hell out of them.

It does.
Though they don’t add something to the dropdown menu until it gets a certain number of votes (I think like 5).

Sidebar's the only place I've shot pool in Cincinnati, so I'm a little limited.

And technically you weren't even in Cincinnati
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
Technically you prolly weren't in the U.S.
Oh wait, some time ago somebody did allow Kentucky into the union..so as not to confuse it with Hamiltucky
Scott Roland should retire tomorrow.
Yeah, what gives?

Seriously!
You accomplished more in six days than what all the phonies here in Cincy accomplished this entire year!
And accomplished things before accomplishing things was cool!

I suggest you all do the same. The man deserves some recognition for all he puts up with from the likes of us.
you're banned from all the best twitter feeds?

Best twitter feed is The Cincinnati Parrothead Club!
