Talk to Tom Week of Dec. 2: Vote in the Murky Poll!

December 2, 2013

Hope all you SFs had a great Murky Day and Turky Day, too. Did you see the Wimpy Kid balloon in the big parade? Totally blimp!

Before we get to the poll… please remember: STAY ON TOPIC when commenting on other SFs stuff. (Or mine for that matter.) Nothing is more annoying than 50 comments about Lady Gaga (or whatever) and hardly any about the origami in the picture.

But here at TALK TO TOM, you do NOT have to stay on topic. This is the one place where you can write about anything you want … as long as it doesn’t offend Webmaster Sam, who has been deleting comments like crazy lately. (Speaking of which, let’s stop saying “Oh my God!” all the time. It does bother some SFs, so why not say…

a NEW MURKY WORD INSTEAD!

Okay…. THE POLL! I’ve selected the finalists in the Murky Contest. (If yours didn’t get picked, please don’t take it personally. I tried NOT to look at the names of the SFs who submitted when picking…)

One of the words below — all suggested by SFs — will become a new Murky word in a book at some point in the future. Which one? That’s up to you! Vote for your favorite in this poll:

quigonjack

I had a feeling that someone would suggest qui-gon!

quigonjack

ok, I searched my feelings and I think I should be Agen Kolar the first jedi that palpatine killed in his fight with mace windu. but I want tom and the other SFs to decide if I should be him or qui-gon!

That sounds like toasty train mice! I wish I could stay home from school on my Bday, but my mom wouldn’t let me(I think. It could be possible…). Of course, if I go to school, I’ll get lots of presents from my friends.

It doesn’t even feel like Christmas! Especially down here in Texas! Usually around now, it’s like 30 or 40 degrees! But guess what is is now? 75. Tomorrow it’s gonna be 82! Weirdest winter ever. <(•_•)>

Hey Zod, on your website you took credit for the Christmas Advent thing. Did you come up with the idea before me?

SuperFolder_Zod

11 years ago

I say that everyone thought of the idea on their own terms, and that’s why it became a fad. What’s important is the origami, not who came up with the idea.

I think SFMichael came up with it first though…

yodafan

Oh sorry. Hey! I have a website now!

Hey Tom, I know you probably don’t want to take a side but this is serious. People are constantly making alliances and posting them just to get comments. This is spam and it is filling up the website. It takes so much longer to get your origami posted when there is like 100000 alliances waiting to get posted. A few of us SF’s(me zod Michael grant….) have created the SRM ( spam rebbelion movement). We have a site for it at spamrebellionmovement.wordpress.com please take the time to have a look at our ideas and opinions. Thanks, StookyLukey

Also one of my words was Jarly, was jarcy a Mis-spell of jarly? I just wasn’t sure….

TomAngleberger

11 years ago

I think the alliance thing is almost done…

I really don’t have a problem with it though.

What IS a problem are people posting things multiple times! Arggh!

SuperFolder_Zod

11 years ago

Tom’s right about that…

Sooner or later people will stop. There should be a page that shows people how to post stuff Tom…

The double decker couch is actually a good idea, except for the fact that people’s feet would be on your plate of nachos.

“FIRST TRY!”

Tips from Webmaster Sam

1) After you submit... be patient. It can take 2-4 weeks for it to appear, simply because of the number of submissions submitted before yours.

2) A STRICT policy on the site is NO PEOPLE in your origami photos, including you. (Your hand is okay, but that’s it!)

3) Remember, clicking on SUPERFOLDER STOOKINESS is the best way to see ALL the origami SFs have posted! And if you like it, comment on it!

4) Take a little extra time and make sure you've got the BEST picture you can get of your origami. Maybe even crop and rotate the photo using a website like: PICRESIZE.com.
