RULES
- Any parody beginning with the current letter is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into ABC1 or ABC2 or ABC3 or ABC4
- 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 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 ABC5 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

Two weeks ago I suggested the U/V round's deadline be extended to Nov 1 or 2, because of the Halloween weekend.  Now it's a day before the Oct 30 deadline and no one's been here since Oct 20, and no one's commented on my entry since Oct 20.  I'm going to start listening to the entries, but it's 9:20pm EDT and this Internet cafe I'm in closes at 10pm.  Please, I think we need that extension!  :-\\

Thanks everyone for my votes.  I've said many times that that parody was the most fun I've ever had writing a parody.  I'm so glad to have been able to send it out onto the dancefloor another time.

Congrats also to Guy and Jack, both of whom were in my votes.

See y'all in the ultraviolet round
