its a game , so side bets will be encouraged as well as any dishonest behaviour . Pressure, horse trade, canvass , get your friends to vote .

Can you make what those in the political game would call a "atalking horse" Anthony. Ie when you've eliminated the first few someone else joins in. And I want proportional representation too, because the other systems are dumb.

the twelve are final.
there will be porptional represnetation i guess.
it is a glass head though , not the next head dude of ireland .
So then count them down from your least fav to your most fave.
i wonder if i wil l get any votes

Proportional Representation leaves too much power in the hands of extremist minorities. I'm not quite sure how this problem would manifest itself in Anthony's head naming game.

is any one going to vote or are you all going to make this absurdly complex

I abstain as 1. I don't like any of the names on the shortlist and 2. I dislike the practice of giving inanimate objects names e.g. people who give their cars names. This doesn't include soft toys as children are allowed to do stuff like this.

Gotta go with Lulu.

Yes the extremist head names like Lulu will have to form a coalition with the more regular ones like eh........Gigi. But still, Anthony just do Proportional Representation. By the way earlier I meant a stalking horse not a talking horse, although that might be fun too.

Talking horse = "mr ed" = even more hilariously brilliant and apt name for object under discussion than inchwig

That is a good name for it if Anthony was a cockney. Plus it reminds me of that Mr Ed sample on Licensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys, which is very funny.
