ILX POLLS THE COSMOS: THE BEST OF ALL THINGS, EVER - the nominations thread

wait so is the format:

xxx - 20
xxy - 19
xyy - 18
...

or:

xxx
xxy
xyy
...

just don't want to fuxk up my ballot.

so... none of you nom'd sex?

orgasms is on the list... i guess sex itself isn't as important to most ilx0rs...

sex is ok, you can add sex
also

xxx - 20
xxy - 19
xyy - 18

is the correct format

i was ready to bring a lot of complaints to this list but it really covers a lot of bases. the kissing thing & avocados

oh man this is too hard. there are like 6 things it genuinely hurts from which to decide is my #1 and then like 100 things to fit in the other 14 spots.

daily bump in respect for the kid who shot bin laden
