Well, I had a comment typed out until I remembered Spaff said it best on the SOTM thread:


// IMHO, the whole point of the contest is to exchange feedback. Without a comment, there's no feedback, nor is there any evidence the parody was even read.

xoxox
Spaff


If everyone were to non-comment, then there would be absolutely no point in having these competitions.

Keep in mind dear readers I don't expect essay length praise or anything as a comment, but SOMETHING would be nice.

That's all.

wow, thanks very much everyone - I've finally managed to win an ABC! - I thought, as the proud owner of 11 Amiright finely-crafted Johnny D silver medallions, I was destined to always be the applauder, not the applauded, so I'm rapt

congrats to Rick for his very funny Roberta Flack take-off (an inspired idea) and to Jeff's Whack-A-Mole, which by now has become an AmIRight classic :)
