I hate to complain, but you gave me writing credit for "Mantle".  I believe the writing credit on that one goes to "Kimba T. Dogg".
I'm sure she'll get over it, but could we make the change anyway?
Thanks

I'm going to find it difficult to get much more time in the next couple of weeks (off to the Emerald Oil for a week of trying to find the perfect pint of Guinness) - I've had to read through these rather quickly, I think I've voted for them all, but haven't left comments.

I'm new here, so I missed out on the chance to enter the February SOTM, when's do you get the chance to enter the March SOTM, and when's the February SOTM decided because it's almost April!

The March SOTM entry thread can go up any time, now that the last March parody update has occurred.  Actually, it only takes a minute so I can do it right now.  As far as Feb. goes, voters *technically* have until midnight tonight, but votes are actually accepted until someone (usually me) closes the voting thread sometime tomorrow.  Good luck, Dumb Ass Kid! (Hey, fun name!)

...I see... thanks for clearing that up... don't think i'll enter this month. I might vote, though

Since you're new around here, I'll fill you in on the rules. You can submit a late vote, but only if all 5 votes are for "Charlie Decker." Don't ask why; it's just a technicality.

5 points to #6 (Stu)

4 points to #23 (Spaff)

3 points to #7 (Kristof)

2 points to #22 (Phil)

1 point to #13 (2nz)

Excellent job all.

I can't believe I hadn't commented on any of the parodies for this month's SOTM contest.  And they were all brilliant!!

After much delay and scrutinizing, here's my results:

5 points - #15 Old People by Claude Prez

4 points - #2 If Shrek's Mom Had Only Been Sterile by John Jenkins

3 points - #18 Country Club of Tattered Greens by Jeff Reuben

2 points - #21 Aye, Me Fav Pirate Things by Paul Robinson

1 point - #8 I Think Therefore I Am by Johnny D

5 points - john j
4 points - phil
3 points - 2nz
2 points - claude
1 point - charlie D

Some very good stuff this month... sorry about not getting a chance to vote and comment i'm not entering the march SOTM anyway and i might try to leave comments on these eventually.

All too good, much too hard. But done now it is:

5 points: #2.  If Shrek's Mom Had Only Been Sterile by John Jenkins

4 points: #6.  Gwyneth Has A Rethink by Stuart McArthur

3 points: #15.  Old People by Claude Prez

2 points: #12.  They're Building Her Stairways Uneven by Tim Mayfield

1 point: #4.  Mr. Mom?? by Mike Armstrong


Leaving all them comments is more fun than comparing parodies anyway.

Speaking of that, and in reply to yours and Tim's on mine:

I agree, it's rather easy and not much of a writers challenge to be intolerant... in your own language, but you have to take into account that as a Swede I really am broadening my English grammar by writing a stupid ditty like this.

I don't really think you do judge me as holding those opinions expressed in the parody, but just to make sure I want to clearify here that I do not.

First Place:  "Gwyneth Has a Rethink" by Stu MacArthur -- 36 points

Second Place:  "The Wreck of the Latest Royal Wedding" by Kristof Robertson -- 34 points

Third Place:  "I Wok Alone" by 2nz -- 29 points

Unfortunately we had three who didn't make the voting deadline:  Paul, martha, and "Kimba" (bad dog!  BAD DOG!!).  I can't be too judgmental since I nearly didn't make it myself, but for the sake of consistency they'll have to forfeit their votes and sit out the March round.  Thanks for another great round everybody.

  ;) Congratulations Stu, Kristof, and 2nz!!  ;)

This no surprise at all. I very glad we agree on how good my wok is (Damn... I owe many great meals to voters now... ). That it, Spicy Ar Wen Pow and 'Wok of Life' for everyone! I honored to be in such company. I also make Wok Stu (excuse, Stew) in honor of first place winner and Robertwon Tons for second place. Much fun I have.

Great job, everybody. The three medalists deserved those victories, although almost everybody else did, too  ;)

This is so weird... I am again in "8th place" with "16 votes".  How do you guys do that?  It's amazing.

Aaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!!!! Pipped at the post by the Marquis of Melbourne, the Viscount of Victoria, the Right Hon. Lord McArthur! Still, now I've got all three colours of medal....  :-\\
Seriously, I personally thought this was the Parody of the Month, and am proud to have gotten so close. Well done, compadre....the Aussies are taking over...mwahahahahaha...
Also big congrats to Glen, who was my second fave parodist of the month (have I got good taste or what); there's something about Chinese food parodies that gets me everytime. In fact, I voted for the rest of the top 5 placers...if I had have had a bet on it I'd be a rich man now. Congrats to everyone who entered: it's the truth that this contest is getting bloody harder every month, with so much talent coming through. I better start wearing my parody writer's hat to bed....see y'all in March!!  ;)

Congratulations to Stuart, Kristof, and 2nz!  ;D

Medals shall be posted in the near future.

Aaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!!!! Pipped at the post



That's an exact transcript of my planned concession speech to the great Kristof, who's taking all before him this year.  Check out the quality of his stuff since his November Italian hiatus everyone  http://www.amiright.com/parody/authors/kristofrobertson.shtml

I am SO glad not to be Kristof's bridesmaid again, and I am SO honoured to win this month's SOTM.  Opinion seemed divided on my "Gwyneth" (which started life as 'Hey Prune' -to Hey Jude) as some other entries got more places -  it was only my 5s that got me there (thanks Kristof, Johnny D, Spaff, John Jenkins and Claude for those - and thanks to everyone else who found a place for it).  I can't believe how nervous I was on the last day when it seemed I had a chance.

Congratulations to Kristof, my Aussie buddy, and to 2nz (master of the quirky funny-accent "situation-parody"), and obviously it's an honour to come in the top 10 in any comp on this amazingly-talented site.  And thanks again, Claude, for doing all the work  :)

Phew, I need a beer :D

Phew, I need a beer :D


You deserve a beer, as do Kristoff and 2nz.  Congratulations to all three of you for being the cream of the February crop.

I'll lift my game so there can be three Aussie flags on the podium next time. ;)
Congratulations Stu, Kristof and 2nz!

it was only my 5s that got me there (thanks Kristof,

Do the words "shooting", "self" and "in foot" apply here? Sheesh!  ;)

Medals have been posted.

Thanks JD!
