What if there's a "The" in front of the number? Does it still count?

"A" and "The" are exceptions, so if you have "The 21st century" or "A 4-hour trip" as parody titles they can be entered.
Here's my entry:

Okay then...then I present to you "The 1 Guy's Stalking Me."

I recall also from last year Jeff's ruling that the one symbol you cannot start with (for this comp) is the "("

good luck all

Unless there's a huge uprising of authors who want to enter paren parodies, that rule still applies :)

And for the duration of the comp I plan to make TOS available here:
