    I've collected all the options I saw (except for "Bosporus defense", which was an excellent pun but perhaps a bad omen).

    If there's no clear winner, I'll create a run-off thread.

    [in my best "don't make me pull this car over" tone]Any reference to recent electoral events--no matter how light-hearted you think it is--will be terminated with extreme prejudice seconds after I read the flurry of angry reported posts that it will undoubtedly engender.[/don't make me, etc.]

    Here is the main Yedlinny thread.

    As much as I love the DeLight pun, we can’t in good conscience have 2 Turkish Delight pun title references at once.

    Can someone explain why Roselle matters?

    I'm gratified to see that at this moment, the 2 options I voted for are leading the way like 2 political candidates with big leads.

    :D

    I dare ya, bunga, I dare ya!

    Just so you both know, at the next rest stop everybody is getting ice cream except for you two troublemakers. Choice=consequence.

    Why does Roselle matter? One might as well ask why choosing the best of the worst thread titles matters.

    Roselle matters because it's the most likely explanation for Yedlin's fifth gear, which in his prime was really a sixth gear.

    You have to imagine Yedlin in childhood, playing outdoors, when his mother throws open the window and yells, "DeAndre, come inside and clean up your room!"

    What young DeAndre would have learned very quickly, was that if he did not stop what he was doing immediately and sprint for the door, like a rocket, his mother would shout again, "DeAndre Roselle, I said come inside and I mean now!"

    A painful lesson but a beneficial one, indeed.

    My dad taught me two poems

    Beans, beans, the musical fruit
    The more you eat the more you toot
    The more you toot the better you feel
    So let's have beans for every meal!

    Beans, beans, good for your heart
    The more you eat the more you fart
    The more you fart the better you feel
    So let's have beans for every meal!

    It's good for the kid, sure, but not good for the people standing next to him. :p
