A funny -- though perhaps unsurprising -- thing happened on our way to selecting the final two adjectives in the BO-MAGEDDON Edition of Adjective SURVIVOR!: out of 82 total votes, perpetual punching bag LIVID garnered 35 votes while seemingly-overwhelming favorite RODENTIAL earned 36. For you non-math majors, that's 43% of the vote to LIVID, and 44% of the vote to RODENTIAL.

And that's a big problem if you're familiar with Rubie's Rules of Order (and, honestly, why wouldn't you be?), which dictate that in the case of a 1% (or less) difference in votes when there are three or less adjectives remaining in any season of Adjective SURVIVOR!, there is an automatic and immediate (sort of) MANUAL RECOUNT.

That's right: election hysteria has infected Adjective SURVIVOR!, and there's no time to waste. Let's hang some chads (topical!) and figure this shiz out.

So: let's make this as simple as possible. Below is a poll. There are two options: RODENTIAL and LIVID. Vote for your favorite-- and let's be clear about that:

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE.

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE.

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE.

FAVORITE.

VOTE.

and let's bust out the Europe next week.

GO.
