I'm hoping under as well. The last one took 31 days, and I think this might be just a bit longer. Mainly I just wanted to say 42

On a related note, I believe Suq has ~1 hr 35 min left

Last draft was 156 picks. These are 100 each. As long as people aren't slacking hard, it should be shorter.

AK56 seems like a man who appreciates the old classics. For that reason, I'll take The Three Stooges as my pick for comedy acts. If I have to be more specific, I will take the classic Larry Fine, Curly Howard, and Moe Howard version of the trio.

The Stooges are timelessly funny. They existed as a successful act in various incarnations for nearly 50 years. Curly Howard is one of the greatest comedy performers of all time, and he and the other stooges influenced many other actors that followed them.

Here's a random episode I found on Youtube. I think it still holds up.

Reading!
Hoeing!
AK-47ing!

What more does a flag need?

Was going to be my round 2 pick if it got back to me.

Easy easy #1 pick that I'm thrilled dropped to me.

Most destructive legal substance?

Tobacco, by far. The CDC estimates 8 million worldwide deaths EVERY YEAR. Since commercial farming of tobacco began, estimates are over 1 billion deaths directly related to it and more than that attributable to non direct deaths.

It's the most destructive substance ever farmed, and it's legal pretty much everywhere.

A solid top five pick.

This was my backup pair. Gotta make it back to my turn, but I may have a more pressing selection elsewhere.

Can I be honest? Category is most aesthetically pleasing flag. Not best or coolest flag. Color scheme on that kinda makes me want to vomit.

Nepal was on my flag list around 6th. That other one was not top 10. Pennons are cool, but not my favorite.

For superpower, I'll take controlling time

I can fast forward, pause, rewind time at will. I can move through my own life, or far into the past and future.

I can use this in a few very obvious ways to make myself tremendously wealthy. I can then use said wealth for the betterment of mankind. I can use my powers to help see the optimal use of time and money for the maximum benefit.

I can go back and see the dinosaurs, or the pyramids of Giza when they were new.

I can travel into the future and see what becomes of humanity.

I can try to prevent various calamities

I wouldn't cheat at poker, but maybe if I have a losing session I just go back and never begin it in the first place. Actually, I'm probably rich enough that I just don't care

Surely various paradoxes and logical impossibilities will crop up, but let's just pretend these all work themselves out somehow as they do in any good time travel story
