We don't often ask for reader feedback around here - mainly because we don't usually care to call attention to the fact that we have, like, three readers - but we're kinda stuck on an issue we don't really care about either way and we're willing to consider some outside opinions. The thing is.... we're traditionalists, you see, and last year we followed up our anniversary post with an exercise intended to get us through the doldrums of writers' block. We had intended to do the same thing this year. You know.... just because. (Consider yinzself forewarned when October rolls around.) But then we thought: maybe instead of the Questions of the Day we could take the opportunity to indulge some of those *shudder" memes we've seen on other blogs. Rest assured, the editorial staff of hotrod.vox.com wants no part of either, but this sort of mandatory daily posting exercise (without limitation) has proven useful in the past and we honestly don't care which approach we take. Yinz could consider a vote for Meme as a vote for Change and a vote for QotD as a vote for Experience - or something - but that is almost certainly overthinking it. However, this is also almost certainly the least important decision yinz might ever get to make, so it kinda seems a shame to waste it.

We intend to compose our introductory post around this time tomorrow with the festivities proper beginning on Friday. So if anyone caress, let us know in the comments. We're looking for a simple plurality. Otherwise, Questions will from here on out be "heads" and Memes will be "tails."

Memes

Tails.

I like the memes I've read on people's blogs. Some are really clever.

Oh god, yes. Memes, Memes, memes.

Also, are we still getting the in the vault posts in July?

Two votes for memes. That might be an insurmountable lead.

This is a lose-lose situation for me. I probably should have mentioned that in the body of the text. I suspect there are some who might have enjoyed reading that.

Sheesh. Four votes. CNN calls this State for Memes with 51% of precincts reporting.

Yeah. After July 4th, I want to start the vault posts.

Those QotD-loving red states don't stand a chance.

All the cool kids do the QotD challenge in July anyway.

Memes would definitely supercede the QotD. There's no way in hell I'm doing both.

I know. but I answer the QotD in July. Didn't i say Cool Kids?

Oh. I didn't get that part. But yeah.... thanks for the clarification.

I'll weigh in with my SUPERdelegate status and say memes.

It's looking like Memes in a landslide. So I might need some direction to some good memes.....

Don't you *shudder* at me, dammit.

Screw all these memes and QotDs. I want that weekly column you said you were going to do about old CDs you haven't listened to in years. Whatever happened to that? That was you, right?

Yeah. That's "The Vault," which I'll start (for real, this time) the first week of July.

I'll see you in person in a minute, so I could just tell you. If I really knew what one was, I'd vote for memes. What this voter really demands is the Vault.
