Diser's for CMO!

[AnnDisneyFan]

Well... AnnDisneyFan, you are a clever one.

I will tell anyone anything about everything the minute I can. (Including selected subsets, even though I probably wouldn't know if it was a subset, and whatever else...) That is... unless I can't, and then I won't! I'm sure that everyone in the Top 20 has had a similar experience... we know what we know... but we don't know what that means yet!

Ok... Rumsfeld is about the only way to explain this:

I know what I know.
I don't know if others know everything I know.
I don't know if others know more than I know.
I don't know what I know means.

So, my known unknowns outnumber my known knowns by a score of 3 to 1.

I am pretty sure that every contestant is in one of two boats right now:

1. They haven't heard anything definitive, but figure they'll know within 36 hours either way.
2. They have gotten some good news but can't say.

I'm in Boat #1. Boat #1 BLOWS, because for all I know, Boat #2 could have already sailed over the horizon with a passenger list of 10.

(Having fun through the pain though!)

Clever??? Hmmmm........Obsessed???............definitely!

I just KNEW you would respond. Well, sortof did anyway.

The "definitive" word intrigues me....I am definitely feeling that you all must be in the same boat on this...possibly knowing something but not sure if it is anything at all.

And your "I know" syllogism needs a different conclusion. How about what you know (or don't know) could potentially be devastating to those who know (or don't know) what you know.

You must be reading through the posts for hidden clues, suggestions, bits of info that you may (or may not) know for yourself? You know?!

But I am willing to keep all of what all of you Top 20's "know" UNKNOWN if you are just BUSTING AT THE SEAMS and need to release what you KNOW to someone! That is just the kind of Disney Fan I am!!!

Whoa! Long day at work and I've missed tons! Interesting announcement of all the top 20! It didn't say if they came forward on their own or if Brady did a bit of investigative journalism (did it?). Anyway, all good videos--the competition is tough!

Just wanted to say I'm in Boat #1 with Fleagle. And yes, it BLOWS. If anyone from Boat #2 could send a few semaphore flashes over to Boat #1, we'd greatly appreciate it.

I spend some time last night looking for the Best Foreign film category vid--can't decide which one to pick! Do we send the final nomination to you Fleagle?

It didn't say if they came forward on their own or if Brady did a bit of investigative journalism (did it?).

What we do KNOW is that Kenny KNEW before Brady printed it because Kenny made the announcement that he knew something that he couldn't disclose. Then later, he said that he was waiting for Brady's post.

Kenny is gone for the day, so we won't have his response.

But Brady comes here....Brady??? Did you find them??? Did they come to you??? What finally made them decide to come "out?" I really don't see the incentive if they indeed may not make the Top 10, you know?

You should post your nominations in the forum, and then just PM me the winner so I can make the certificate.

So when should we have our nominations listed? By tonight... tomorrow? Obviously before Saturday.

If they are ready, go for it! More time to have a fun discussion.

Could they have just been nervous about not having heard anything yet, went searching on-line for CMO stuff and then found Brady's blog? (I went to the discussion boards last week to search for CMO for the very same reason )

But...the way the all came forward at the same time...hmmm...

You know... out of four new ones yesterday, there has to be at least one lurker that has visited here. Hello? Speak up! I pledge to vote for and Top 20 lurker 5 times in the Top 10 if you post here in the next hour. (yes, even if I make it too)

But... no speaky, no votey.

Well then hopefully I should have them up for tonight. So side note.... have we started a pre-emptive strike should this thread reach the maximum number of pages and is closed?

Maybe I am looking forward to LOST too much tonight -- but this is all a bit fishy to me.......

To quote a fellow DISer (Haunted Mansion Fan):

"Shenanigans" (glad you brought the word back HMF)

Hey Gang!

Dr. Hans--I think your first explanation makes the most sense. I also think your's and Fleagle's ships are coming in any moment and you'll both be able to get out of those stinkin boats you're in!

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

Yay for "shenanigans"!

What is funny is how you first introduced it and NOW we are using it to "help" our fellow Top 20ers get to the Top 10 (or at least figure how much they all know).

Fingers crossed (yes, toes also crossed)!

It is part of my 12-Step plan to do a complete 180.

The last four that came out didn't actually say anything. Brady just named them. So the timing is more a function of the messenger than the message.

It could be that he contacted the sponsors and got the final names, they contacted him around the same time, or Kenny dug up the names and passed them to Brady... or 100 other things. I don't think they necessarily "spoke up."

My suspicion is that if they had been notified they are in the Top 10, they would be LESS likely to step up now. I have the expectation that the sponsors will want to make their own announcement of the Top 10 in one big splash rather than the slow roll out that happened here. After all... Donald was pushing everyone to show up on March 2nd to see. They don't want leaks to steal their thunder. (I don't blame them)

 

[Disneyfalcon]

Oh my goodness I just screamed out loud. My dh thought I'd just gotten the late call for CMO!!

Thank you so much Andy!! I'll pm you!

I pm'd you Andy and again, thank you so much!! I can't tell you how excited I am to be a toon!!

I hope the toon version of me is skinny!

Now you're making some sense, whew!

One of the girls in the 20, when found by Kenny on YouTube, asked him how he knew.

Chances are, the last ones were also "found"

 

[Disneyfalcon]

One reason I can't wait until the 10 finalists are announced so then people can admit things like - okay I've known for a week and couldn't tell anyone.

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

LOVED THAT!!!

If I could have a skinny toon I would take HER to the Y and get her skinny a** on the elliptical!!!
