Nominated by:	~ 09:57, Dec 19, 2009
For: 15	Self-nom + For. I don't think I can add anything anymore, and Why? helped me a lot with it. ~ 09:57, Dec 19, 2009 It's good enough. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 18:38, 19 December 2009 For. This borderline-Decemberists-fan likes it. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 22:08, December 19, 2009 (UTC)  For. SIRE FREDDMOOSHA AMUSE ME • 21:03 • Sunday, 20-12-2009 Weak For. I had to do some background reading before voting. A well written piece though perhaps the humour is more of a chuckle than a lol. RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 23:05, December 20, 2009 (UTC) The punishment for this failure is called a Grammy. Once I saw that I knew I had to vote here. --Nikau 01:32, December 21, 2009 (UTC) For I had no fucking clue who this guy was, yet found it hilarious. Although I found the last paragraph a bit redundant, it's still good enough. --Hugs and kisses, Black_Flamingo 11:01, December 21, 2009 (UTC) For. Thought it was almost featurable before my Pee Review; think it's ready now (and I didn't know Colin Meloy either, but am scrutinizing the sagacious songsmith simultaneously while scribing this studied synopsis). King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  19:17, December 21, 2009 (UTC) Weak for. There were two parallel concepts here: the one about the Decemberists writing ridiculous lyrics, and the one about the narrator being an arrogant hipster puke. The first one was hilarious; the second one, not so much, for me. But on the balance I still go thumbs-up. pillow talk 19:38, December 24, 2009 (UTC) For. Chyel 04:01, December 25, 2009 (UTC) Strong For. You had me at "Consumption, tuberculosis, cholera, syphilis – what you get after laying with a rake" - and it kept going! Very nice. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 03:43, Jan 3 2010 For. All we need now is HowTo: Write Chinese Poetry. Alexor, Destroyer of Worlds 03:08, January 4, 2010 (UTC) For. InMooseWeTrust 16:36, January 18, 2010 (UTC) For. Majormechamop 21:05, January 18, 2010 (UTC) For. MrN 10:05, Jan 19
Against: 2	um if this makes anyone other than Decemberists fans/haters laugh I'll be kinda surprised... well, not all of it, I don't want to give it too little credit... —talk 18:26, December 19, 2009 (UTC) I did not lol. -OptyC Sucks! CUN18:28, 19 Dec
Comments	Pee reviews on the talk page. ~ 09:57, Dec 19, 2009 Ok, Fag, that was painful. You make the worst comments on VFH, well, maybe not all of them, I don't want to give them too little credit. ~ 01:07, Dec 21, 2009 http://www.colinmeloy.com & http://www.decemberists.com King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  19:37, December 21, 2009 (UTC) Abstain. I know nothing of the man or the band. Never heard of 'em. And while it seems well-written, I'm not finding it that funny without that knowledge. It seems to be improved by familiarity with the subject, so I'll abstain on those grounds. --UU - natter 10:59, Dec 29 Just so you know, I did write it with outsiders in mind. I guess it's a fail on my part. ~ 13:43, Dec 29, 2009 I don't think so, you did well. The Meloy described in your article is an archetype most people should recognise. Plus, it's not hard to find out who he is. --Hugs and kisses, Black_Flamingo 15:08, December 29, 2009 (UTC) Comment. I have heard one song by the Decemberists (The Mariner's Revenge) before reading this. In my opinion, you don't really need special knowledge to appreciate this article. Good job Hiatus! • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 03:43, Jan 3 2010 In which case, there's just something not tickling me about it - guess it must be that old subjectivity thing. Shame, looks like whatever I'm missing has tickled enough people - I wish I could see it! --UU - natter 10:10, Jan 19 Abstain. Per UU. ChiefjusticeDS 17:59, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
