The link to Ethan's "Bow Wow" doesn't work.

thanks rick... i think the problem is because of the "tp" between the "http" and the "www" i don't think that belongs there. This link should work:

This was a very difficult round -- more than three of the entries are parodies I consider among my faves on the site, overall.  More than three others are parodies I considered worthy of the three point slot for other reasons.  I finally had to set some arbitrary criteria to narrow it down to three and then rank them.  So, ranked by the number of times these parodies popped into my head  and made me smile or even chuckle aloud despite a very bad day that was the worst day yet in an already bad week...

Sigh.  I like them all!  However, this time, my votes go to:

1.  "Just A Severed Head / Ain't Got No Body" (Claude) - This one scans very well and it totally cracked me up!  Since I parodied the same OS myself and found it very challenging, hats off!
2.  " I'm a D-i-c-k" (Spaff) - Funny and good choice of topic.  I'm married to a Richard who hates to be called "Dick" and can relate.
3.  "50 Ways to P*ss off PETA" (Mer & Pip) - Liked the scan and the flow, laughed.

Mari is especially thrilled that she got this without my vote. The kindness of strangers means more in this case than my occasional loyalty. She worked very hard on it, and it seemed not to get much attention at first. But I think her work, like herself, grows on you with time.

I was wondering about that as well. But now you get to uphold your rule and a first place medal. Huzzas are in order for Mari and her finely crafted work of art. Huzzas are also in order if I spelled Huzza correctly. Congrads Mari, Spaff and Claude. Three well-deserved medals in a tight competition.

P.S. Huzzas are truly in order for the RAD and MAD duo, who would now officially be the first couple of amiright to get matching medals in SOTM. HUZZA!

Aw, shucks!  What a trip!  It's really flattering to have won, in such good company and with some really outstanding parodies in the running!  The main thing that I wanted was for more people to read it.  Congrats to Spaff and Claude as well!  :)

My current owner wife says sure, you can have me.  She also says to tell you that in addition to lazy, I'm also dumpy, homely, stinky, dopey, grumpy, and poorly dressed.  My diet consists mostly of White Castle cheeseburgers and Heath Bites so make sure you stock up.  You'll also want me to have my own bathroom.  Also, that hot tub harem of barely legals?  Not included (rental from Ho's "R" Us).   I'll be arriving tomorrow.

I swear you stole that verbatim from my eHarmony profile. I already have all that stuff; it sounds like what I really need to invest in is some HELLO MY NAME IS nametags so that people can tell us apart.

And I'm relieved that you're not bringing your 18 three-year-olds.
