Crikey, T stands for TOUGH
All eight of the following five could have taken the 5 votes, so I decided to give them to Arwen, because she was actually responsible for 2 of the parodies, but then I had to get Dee's brilliant piece up, and Rick's, so Kristof's equalising reply to Arwen got shunted down to 4th - then it was between Agri and JD, but I am personally fond of Agri's (sorry JD) and sorry also to number 7, and number 8.....(and I sense Luke is about to tell me to shut up again...)
5 points.........2. Super Arwen Tell Her About It

Oh...I remember reading about this in the guide book I ordered off of amazon.com.
Yep, here it is..."When you only know 2 of the OS's, can't play the mp3w/midis and are still confused even after being shown the lyrics, ALWAYS vote for Arwen."

Josh, if you mean voting on the parodies themselves, you can look at what other people voted to help you out. If a parody has 7 or 10 or 15 5s on pacing, it's a pretty safe bet to put a 5 there as well and fill in your own funny/overall.
Someone mentioned this a long time ago: Sometimes a DKTOS can actually make a parody funnier.
As for the ABC voting, since it's unlikely you wll know enough of TOSs by the deadline to see how the parodies actually compare just do the best you can. Going by total votes, the 5 funniest or even drawing names from a hat have all been used in competitions before as a means of picking the top 5.
Nearly every competiton I've been in a DKTOS has made my top 5 list. Don't feel too bad though, in the Q round I think I only knew 2 of the 7 entries by heart (mine and one other).
Oh, learning some classics wouldn't hurt either.

A very big congrats to Rick C, Dee Range, and Super Arwen.
Why am I not included with my all of 0 votes
I think it has become a trend to not mention zero votes in the final tally. This would draw more attention to the fact that the author got zero in the tournament, and there are alot of authors who don't want that kind of attention... I guess. The last time I got zero in a tourney, I didn't mind not being mentioned for this reason.

Actually I never get votes for some reason, and it's starting to annoy me as no offence to other gus but being a totally biased kind of person towards myself ;D i thought some of mine were better
