Here are the options...
1.
2.
Please choose one.
I think they are both excellent and would like to thank Grafton Red and dum dum for their efforts. Not forgetting Roverstrace for permission to use her pics and Tundra Terrorist for making GR's and dd's look even better.

This is an outrage.
Art censorship and avianism all rolled up in a fecund ball of corruption.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

It was clear that in the straw poll your effort was the most popular and at least deserved a place as candidate.
What explanation can there be for this travesty of justice?
I beg your pardon?
Effort?
It was a work of beautific splendour inspired by the benevolence of of The Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster in all it's Pastafarian grandeur.

Really? I always imagined him crouching over petri dishes growing cultures. Fancy that. Still didn't get my Periodic table conundrum, did he? Chemist schemist.

I cringe at the 'P' word so you can beg all you want.
Your banner was loved by all, but would've benefitted from a splattering of green splodges near the East Park bit to represent you and your kind's contribution to park life.
I am, however, abstaining from voting in this Ahmadinejad-esque election in support of your masterpiece. Personally, I think they're scared and jealous.

Blooming heck, it's close!
I suppose I should set a time for close of voting, so I don't get accused of stopping it to get the result that suits me (not that I would). 5pm-ish tomorrow, will make it 24 hours.
