I don't know about anyone else, but personally when I think of a "banquet" of blueys... I mentally picture them on a stick over a fire.. or on a plate ready for someone to eat.... :hurl:

ya thats what i said when it was mentioned first. i like the idea of making it a word that relates to how they would act when they were together i.e. fighting, not being interested in each other...i liked mess, but it didnt make the list so i voted for tangle. it has the most accurate depiction.. plus look at how they look when they are mating, theyre all tangled up...and thats one of the only reasons they are together, so it fits if you think about it
thanks!

To tell you the truth, slide is still my favorite. I just came up with "tangle" (and had to vote for it out of principle!) because of the term, "...had a tangle with some guys..." referring to a fight. *shrugs*

I'm shocked it took off too. Do I win a pony?

So Tyler, how does "smack" of jellyfish make sense again? Does this mean it has to make sense?

In the wild they colide together sometimes which could be referred to smacking one another.

I suppose a hunkered brumating group of BTS could look tangled up.....

I do check my references usually. That one I got right away though! Also I was dealing with Sir Tyler. You have to walk a tight line with that guy. Heheheh :)

Is this going to run all month? I think those of us really into it have already voted. Probably more than once if you're "Zach of a Thousand Names." Heh.
