Subject: Voting Thread For ABC3-C - Results Posted

Written By: Red Ant on 07/19/06 at 11:26 pm

Welcome to the
ABC3 (C)
Voting Thread



Voting deadline for ABC3(A) is midnight (amiright time)     Wednesday August 2nd
No votes date-stamped after the voting deadline will be accepted - no exceptions



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

or in algebraic terms, p = 6 - r     (p=points, r=rank)



RULES
- Any parody beginning with the current letter is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into ABC1 or ABC2
- You're not allowed to vote for your own parody
- Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it
- Anyone who's participated in any previous ABC contest may vote
- Any entrant who hasn't left a comment on all entries is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter
- Any entrant who doesn't vote by the voting deadline (above) is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter



ALSO
Under no circumstances will a vote that missed the voting deadline be accepted (even by 1 second)
However the resulting disqualification from entry to the next ABC3 comp may be over-ruled, if you do the following...

   1.  Post an "appeal" on this thread giving your excuse for missing the deadline, and plead for mercy
   2.  If your plea wins the sympathy of 3 other entrants your disqualification from the next round will be overturned
        Your late votes will still not count though 
        (if less than 4 entrants in the comp, only 2 sympathetic "Thumbs Ups" are required)



And the entries are.........

1: Chesty by Matthias

2: Can't Fight This Feline by Scathe

3: Come Down! by Red Ant

4: Collision Man by Johnny D

5: Cheap, Turd-Riddled Parodies by Rick Cormier

GAAAAAHHHHHHHH! I don't know if this is all some big joke or what, but this ugly brawl between Stu and Kristof is getting way out of hand.

If you two don't stop now, I'll...cut my brain out, rendering it impossible for me to write any more parodies! Shame that a 16-year-old girl should have to break up an immature fight between two grown men...*grumble*

if it weren't for this bit "I don't know if this is all some big joke or what" I would have thought you were joining in the spirit of Kristof and my (correctly-described) immature horsing around (and which you're MOST welcome to, Cat) - and which definitely must be an Aussie thing I guess (just check out our tribute parodies to each other where we bag each other mercilessly)

but that sentence has got me confused.....so I repeat ???


(and here I am, ironically, probably committing the exact sin I'm half-suggesting you're guilty of - taking you seriously)

what do you think, Kristof?  do we subject Cat to some affectionate Aussie piss-taking??

I wish I could find the original "Spider Cat" photo on the 'net, it was more disturbing.

For now though, we'll have to settle for some Kitty Porn:

Or, perhaps something more wholesome:

You're welcome, Cat....Serious Sickness is a byatch of a disease. If not cured, it can turn you from:

into this...
http://www.thespoof.com/picstore/people/resize_670989_ugly%20woman.jpg

...in a matter of weeks. Once you reach this stage...

But thank you for your concern about me and Stu's mental health. Bless you!!!
