Last week’s Watcher of Weasels results
I’ve noticed a disturbing tendency in myself to delay posting Weasel results in direct proportion to how badly I did. I don’t do this on purpose — that is, I don’t say “I did badly, so I’m just going to ignore this for a while.” What I do is the opposite: when I do well, I just get this eager beaver feeling and post away.
Last week I did so badly, I didn’t get any votes at all, something that very accurately reflected my submission last week. I didn’t have anything good on tap, so I sent in something decidedly mediocre and my fellow council members, acute thinkers that they are, instantly recognized that fact. It didn’t help that, as always, the competition was incredibly good: intellegent, interesting and informed. Against that, mediocrity didn’t stand a chance.
So here, with my apologies for the delay, are last week’s Watcher’s winners:
