  It’s very different from this one, and even though I think it’s great, it’s doing really poorly in the voting right now—maybe I should have submitted a different one. We'll see what you think when you see it; today is just one of those days where the voting makes no sense at all.🤪

  That would be great, though I'm not sure... you know there's a lot of cronyism out there, and people who vote without considering quality or personal taste... well, we'll see tomorrow. Thanks, buddy.

  Ah don't worry about the voters. Ranking/votes doesn't account for the voters taste or motives. I wish we could see all the submissions and just assign our own Top 10.

  Thanks a lot, Jmn, but I didn't submit the rhinoceros; I sent something else that I thought was better, though it's not really doing well in the voting so far...hahaha

  Cool scene dude, pretty sure I got to vote on your rhino in the DC😄

• @JMN · Aug 26, 2026
