Subject: SOTM 2005 Wildcard Round: Voting Thread
Written By: Kristof Robertson on 02/12/06 at 4:18 am
Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by 26th February 2006. The SOTM is not so much a contest as a feedback exchange. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either in this thread or via personal message. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
~~Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:
1st choice- 5 points
2nd place- 4 points
3rd place- 3 points
4th place- 2 points
5th place- 1 point.
~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.
~~Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it.
~~Voting continues until the deadline date ends.
~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.
~~By entering, you are agreeing to read all the other entries and vote. Comments are optional, but appreciated.
~~Anyone who enters but does not vote by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month.
~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins.
If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins.
If it's still tied, a brief playoff round will be held.
All participants will have the first week of the month to choose one favorite from among the tied entries.
Tiebreaker voting is strongly encouraged but not required. On the eighth day the one with the most votes wins.

And also, now whenever I try to post a comment, that stupid twit control window comes up, even when I know I've waited more than five minutes. It's really obnoxious.

5 Points to John Jenkins. Just...wow. How long did it take to write THAT?!
4 Points to Arwen in the hopes that she will finally get what she has been so long deprived of. (oh, and the spoof was great. This isn't a pity vote.)
3 Points to Phil Alexander for telling me what not to do when I take Driver's Ed later this year.
2 Points to Luke Brattoni for his clever mixing of a song and movie with the same title.
1 Point to Agrimorfee for combining two seemingly polar opposites

I wanted to leave a comment on Mikey Squirrel's page, and I tried about 5 times (I had a link to the OS and everything!) but "twit control" forbade me every time. It was just for him, though. Weird.
Cat, only internal links to amiright or inthe00s.com are allowed as full URLs in the comments anymore, ChuckyG's spam control kicks out other links as spam. To post a link to an 'outside' site, try removing the http://www part, then it should pass twit control.

Yeah, that came out wrong. I do have dreams that come true (occasionally, like 2-3 times a year) so what I meant/thought was that I do have psychic powers vs no intelligence, but judging from this thread and my bla-bla here I think we can all agree that this week I have neither - in perfect proportion to each other! :P
(And 2-3 times a year ain't much of a power anyway, statistically it's probably below pure coincidense, this night I dreamt I won the lottery, and I don't even have a ticket, fat chance of that one coming true!) :P

Don't knock it! I had a dream about part of a parody once (do I spend too much time here?) My luck held out that time and the pacing, etc. fit. You probably have more dreams coming true than I do, since that was the only one of mine, and it wasn't exactly coming true.

To make up for previous stupidity on this thread I've taken the time to check out all entries, and now I'll vote too even though I don't have to. The untellapartability factor was higher than in a regular SOTM so I almost came to regret, but here goes:
5 Points: John Jenkins (#11)
4 Points: Matthias (#10)
3 Points: Phil (#9)
2 Points: Luke (#8)
1 Point: Larry (#6 - breaking the backwards stride there)
And to all the other contestants in this round I dedicate this parody:

And I second K1CHYD's sentiments, I had to really toggle my faves about, there was plenty of great stuff to choose from.
Good luck, everyone!

Mikey, I know it's tough, but there are at least 4 more votes besides yours to come in...you never know. Keep writing, keep entering and don't give up hope.

Hey, Mr. Squirrel. I know just how you feel. Contest after contest I enter, and I barely get any votes! So far, in this contest, I have a total of...4 POINTS! From 1 VOTE! You think YOU'VE got problems.

5 points - #1) Agrimorfee Plop!/The Nativity
- one of my favourites of the year: thing is, you really need to know the OS to get the most out of this parody
4 points - #5) Arwen You Can't Be Boba Fett
- marvellous: if I could have made this first equal, I would have done
3 points - #11) John Jenkins If Shrek's Mom Had Only Been Sterile
- if this wins the wildcard round, will that make it a fairytale ending for JJ?
2 points - #3) Mikey Squirrel Pilsbury Rolls
- I guess I'm a bit of a d'oh nut ;)
1 point - #6) Larry Hensley Daschund Dash
- Would this have gained more marks had "dachshund" been spelt right? Probably not... but it's worth a point, anyway ;)

OK, sorry I was visibly upset about my lack of votes, I'll get over it. After long consideration, my votes come down to this:
5pts- Arwen- You Can't Be Boba Fett
4pts- Larry Hensley- Daschund Dash
3pts- Matthias- Airline to Dayton
2pts- Luke Brattoni- American Pie
1pt- John Jenkins- If Shrek's Mom Had Only Been Sterile
Just to let everyone know, I will soon be adding new parodies. I haven't done much lately because of other pressing issues of life, but I have done quite a bit of work for my parody site, Squirrelbait. Coming soon! :)
