If I see you tonight I&#8217;ll buy you a bonus prize in liquid format, because really, that&#8217;s almost more impressive than winning!<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to everyone who voted! Personally I prefer the top three choices approach to the single vote I&#8217;ve used in previous years, because I think it approaches a fairer representation; several people have mentioned in the past that it&#8217;s really hard to pick just one comment, especially when the options can be so different in type, length, and tone. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/vwxynot\/2012\/12\/23\/vote-you-bastards\/\">the number of votes was way down<\/a> (by more than 50%, once I&#8217;d disqualified a couple of entries that ignored the &#8220;vote for three different comments as your first, second and third choices&#8221; rule), so maybe I should revert just to be more inclusive, or maybe move the vote to a less busy time of year. What do you guys think? If anything? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The results of the Fourth Annual VWXYNot?
