Who is Ovoleg?

No choking allowed! :eek: Some of us just happen to like the little gremlin.
I'm still thinking.... Grumpy has the raw strength, as does Scoot. But I think Brandy may beat them all.

Brandy gets my vote. She has a couple of secret weapons to disctract him (those humungous Zipps and sunglasses) and she has Vireo.
Ovo would go flying like a golf ball.
But I, too, like the Gremlin, so I hope he has his helmet on when he lands and that he doesn't rip another pair of shorts.

Nah...I don't want to throw him. I want to get him into my shorts...to replace the old ones.
Thus, the reason he runs and hides from me.
Men just don't like to shop.
HappyTime could hurl him like a old brake pad.
So I noticed immediately that she conveniently left herself off the list!

Nah, my brake pads are fine. Plus they match my Cannondale, er, I mean my Specialized. :p

I went with Cassave, because I'm pretty sure he has bionic parts... that he designed himself.

I voted against all the socal nancies on the list...my money would be on Beanz. Heck I'd fly out so we could have a competition...2 out of 3, or even 51 out of 100. :D

Cassave was my second choice as he could just will Ovo to go flying or suddenly yell and startle Ovo into catapulting. But I still think Brandy FTW!

Who is Ovoleg?
Or, WHAT is an Ovoleg?

Ovoleg is a member on here who for the longest time trolled calling all of us n00bs and n00bsauce. He use to torment me until I somehow wore him down and sweet talked him into coming on a ride. He was a myth, but we discovered he's just a boy...um...man. :D
I personally like, Ovo. But it wouldn't hurt for him to be thrown from time to time...:p

That's for the poll on that other forum. :D

Hi,
I'd answer, but I don't want to spoil my facade of friendliness. ;)
Please, no more polls about ovoleg or I might succumb. :p

I bet if they all got together they could huck him a metric century or so. :D

I voted for Brandy. She's the only female on the list. Something about hell, fury, and scorned women... :D
Cassave
03-07-08, 10:20 AM
Hey, I didn't see Brandy on the list. I wanta change my vote from "any of the nancies" to Brandy.
Even if Ovo does seem to be in some sort of sexual identity crisis.

You were my third choice, but then I remembered - you're never really grumpy. Ovoleg might look pathetic enough to keep you from hurling him a quarter mile.

i abstained in voting because a poll will not suffice. we need to do this like shotputting. each competitor gets 3 attempts, longest throw wins. we can sell tickets

Maybe distance isn't the answer. Maybe we should go for accuracy.
A stout concrete wall with a painted on target perhaps,
call it OvoDarts.

it doesn't matter how far the throw, so long as he lands on his head. in a big pile of dog poop.

I say we aim for Catalina...
...from the top of Reseda.
I can throw him the farthest, because here in Minnesota we have cow tipping.
Plus, his name irritates me because it's so similar to mine.

Not an engineer, but I did build a smaller version in boy scouts when I was younger. Ah the things I learned while at the camporee....

I don't think you need to throw Ovo, Frank. You could just "flick" him and send him flying. :p

Hmmm...Ovo tipping. I think he'd have to be asleep first, but it's doable.:D
