Congrats to Johnny & Arwen!  (If you read this pre-modified, 'twas Scathe's backward listing that messed up my tally, before. I thought Johnny had more points than listed here, too, so was double checking his when I realized that's where it went off the tally.)

The points are wrong, unless somebody's vote didn't count.   I added up my points, this morning, to see how I fared and came up with 29.  10 pts. on the first page.  19 pts. on the second page.  (Just re-added them and came up with 29, again.) 



MooRocca, I think you may have read Scathe's votes wrong. He listed the parody for 1 point first, then the one for 2 points, etc.

Congratulations to Johnny D, Arwen, MooRocca and everyone else who entered!  PS when I voted in this round, I left a comment that stated "I wish I had more votes". Just to clarify, I didn't mean to say I wish more people voted for me but; I wish I could have had more votes to cast for others. :D

I double checked--Rick is right, you had 15 on the 2nd page, not 19.  1 vote from Scathe, not 5.

Johnny D had 2 pts from Scathe, not 4, so he would be affected as well.

Yep, that's  exactly where I went off count.   It still doesn't look right to me,  because I was so sure, this morning, that Johnny had to have over 40 and Arwen well over 30 (I hadn't actually added either up, until I added Johnny's a few minutes ago and spotted where I went off count) & that I'd probably placed around 4th or 5th  -- I was pretty darned pleased with that!)   So, wow, if I'm legitimately in the top 3... I'm shocked... thanks all!   :)

Congrats again to Arwen and Johnnny!

Congrats to MooRocca, Arwen, and Johnny D.  Sorry about the mix-up.  I'll reverse the way I list points from now on.

Just when I'd gotten used to your old way, that'll mess me up for sure!

Hey man, please don't let my brain-fart change how you do things!  Not your fault, at all.  I was underslept & hadn't had my first pot of coffee yet, yesterday morning, so I was bound to screw something up... I'm just glad it was something that didn't take out any innocent bystanders!  :) 

I still feel funny being congratulated in this round, though, because it still feels like it's someone else's slot and that it should be him getting the glory.  As I glanced through the votes while tallying up mine, it seemed like Rick C. should have outscored me by several points because it seemed like we showed up on the same voters' lists several times with Rick C getting 4 or 5 and me getting 1 or 2.  So, it wasn't just the number of votes not matching my screwed up tally or my guesstimates for Johnny and Arwen being off by so much.  My name being in a slot I was so certain was easily Rick C.'s slot seemed to confirm that my count must have been right and that Jeff must have accidentally missed counting a couple of voters' votes.     

Of course, now that I've tried being wrong, once,  I've decided I don't like it very much and I won't be doing it again.  ;D  ::)  (I'm about to get pelted with rotten tomatoes for that one, aren't I?)

Wow --- that was unexpected --- THANKS EVERYBODY !!!   ;D  ;D  ;D

Congratulations to Super Arwen and Magnificent MooRocca !

Bear with me, my friends, I'm still busy with all sorts of time-consuming things in my "Non-Internet-Life" --- they're all GOOD things, don't worry --- I expect to be back up and running on AmiRight on a more customary schedule sometime next week.

Thanks again,

I think I speak for all of us when I say, we miss ya, JD! I certainly do. If it weren't for your encouragement through kind words, when I first started submitting, I doubt I would have stuck around very long. Look forward to your return. Congrats on another medal!

MooRocca, you won fair and square. I was surprised to have been so close this time. (Curses, foiled again!) ::)
