Subject: ABC5 (A) Votes Totaled

Written By: Matthias on 02/26/09 at 11:44 pm

Welcome to the
ABC5 (A)
Voting Thread



Voting deadline for ABC5(A) is midnight (amiright time)  Thursday March, 12th
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 or ABC3
- 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 ABC4 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.........

Hi Matty - somehow my link ends up at a Beatles "Because" parody - even though the URL says BonJovi37

this should be the link...

(now I study it, I think the final "l" was missing from the link I probably gave you :))

Thanks Jack!


You're welcome. BTW, you have no idea how hard it was for me to give you you to earn top spot after calling Kashmir "annoying".  ;)

something is supposed to go here, but it's censored

Maybe if he sped the damn thing up a little... (I don't hate all of Led Zeppelin, if he made Kashmir the same pace as Black Dog, I would be happy!)

Yay, Congrats co-winners Agri and Matty. . .I do put in my vote to allow TCOP in the next round because he recently turned 18 and more importantly because the contests are on an upward participation swing for the first time in awhile, a train I'd like to keep going.

Thanks Everyone, I'm glad you liked my Airheads!
