  1. 1. In a letter responding to a magical elixir pamphlet he received, which famous writer said: "The person who wrote the advertisements is without doubt the most ignorant person now alive on the planet; also without doubt he is an idiot, an idiot of the 33rd degree, and scion of an ancestral procession of idiots stretching back to the Missing Link."

Every week we're going to have a poll about a certain quote and who said it. Could be a famous quote from history, a line from a movie or a song, the opening line to a novel, something very topical, etc... 

We'll create a poll with the quote and a question based on it, from the answer options you just have to pick the correct one. :thumbsup:

Voters who pick correctly go into the draw for an El Pres Sampler!! :party:   (Drawn Tuesday morning, Brisbane time. Please note: Polls don't show on Tapatalk, but you can participate via a web version of the site)

NO GOOGLING!! And it may not help you anyway - depending on how tricky we get with the question. We're using the honour system. It's just a bit of fun. If you know, you know. If you don't, have a stab in the dark or an educated guess (if you prefer that term ;)). 

You may elaborate about your choice in the topic thread below if you wish but no posting of anything that gives the answer away to those who haven't voted.

Now you know the drill, vote away!  

Good luck!! :cigar:

Rats! I cast my vote before I knew that Ken was the 5th option! ?

Only two choices stylistically fit, won the coin flip.

I think I may have actually guessed right this week. It sure sounds like something my choice would have said.

Proper semicolon though. Not easy to do!

Agreed big beard that consumes face (my Native name for you, you're welcome). The use of the semi-colon is quite nebulous now n days. I only use it if ending a list with an "and", otherwise it is too risky and might as well start a new sentence.
