Ring of Elders: Weeks 7 & 8

A few years back, I started the process of nominating individuals for inclusion in the UPG's Ring of Elders.   Basically, the idea was to select a Mount Rushmore of our spiritual forefathers.  I hoped to nominate a different person for each week of the season.  The four highest vote-getters would make up our league's Ring of Elders.  The whole thing lasted six weeks.  Basically, I lost motivation, and the posts were given a lukewarm reception.  The last time I posted a Ring of Elders entry was back on November 5, 2009.  For whatever reason, I feel like submitting two more nominees for your consideration.

For more information on the Ring of Elders, read the following posts:

FYI - I believe some of the embedded youtube videos in the above posts no longer work.

As it stands, the voting thus far breaks down like this:

Foghorn Leghorn: 3 votes for, 0 votes against

Blues Traveler: 3 votes for, 1 vote against

Brother Man: 2 votes for, 1 vote against (I think), 1 abstention

Mothman: 2 votes for, 2 votes against

David Icke: 1 vote for, 1 vote against

Edward Gorey: 1 vote for, 2 votes against

If you are new to this and you feel like voting on these older candidates (or if you voted previously but feel like changing your vote), go for it.  I really do not care.

Without further ado, your week seven candidate for enshrinement is:

Error

Aliases: Errol, Grimace

Enemies: Ganon, the creepy wizard that lives in the basement next door

Memorable Quote: "I am Error."

Likes: purple, Bagu, the Triforce of Courage

Dislikes: providing assistance (or really any sort of useful information), having to constantly repeat himself, those snobs from Mido Town

from Know Your Meme: Error is a town character featured in the 1987 NES videogame, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.  In the game, Link (the main character) is allowed into a huge house that appears smaller from outside and gets acquainted with the heavy-bearded host, who eternally introduces himself as "[I am] Error" when approached by the player.

UPG Moment: obviously

decidely un-UPG moment: not so much a moment as the general consensus that Error is a smug turd

And your week eight nominee:

Jodeci

Aliases: JoDeCi, Audio Sex

Enemies: Jagged Edge (though, to be fair, that is pure speculation), Boyz II Men (for being so soft and for kissing the ladies on the mouth)

Historical Antecedent: New Edition

Memorable Quote: "You're one of a kind.  Lady move with me so I can keep you humping to my beat. Don't you worry bout the time.  As I start to climb.  As I start to climb.  Ohhhhh."  (from the song "Ride and Slide")

Likes: dry humping, wet humping, leather clothing

Dislikes: pretty much anything not related to having sex

from Urban Dictionary: the dopest R&B group that consists of two sets of brothers DeVante and Dalvin and K-Ci and JoJo

UPG moment: "Every time I close my eyes..."

decidedly un-UPG moment: it's possible Stuart Green and I got into a heated argument concerning the relative merits of Jodeci and Jagged Edge that nearly became violent (though I'm not sure you can blame Jodeci for that)
