Subject: Queen Parody Contest <---> Voting Thread - Open Until July 23rd

Written By: Silver Power on 07/17/06 at 7:23 am

Okay, The Parodies to Vote For Are:

Cat: The Infomercial Song

Agrimorfee: We Will Shock You

Meow78223: Mel Is The Champion  & Another Run For The Bus
___

Voting will be like this:

You rate your 3 favorite parodies. You put a number next to the name of the author who wrote the parody.

Put a 3 next to your favorite Parodies Author's name, 2 next to your second favorite, and 1 next to your third.

You cannot vote for yourself.

Here's where the twist comes in:

EACH PARODY AUTHOR CAN SUBMIT UP TO 2 QUEEN PARODIES. HOWEVER, WHEN VOTING GOES ON, YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR EACH PARODY AUTHOR ONCE IN YOUR 3 VOTES. THE 2 PARODIES ARE LIKE A SAFETY NET. INCASE ONE SUCKS (LET'S CALL THEM THE 'SILVER PARODIES'), YOUR OTHER HAS A CHANCE TO BE SOMEONE'S FAVORITE (THEY SHALL BE NAMED THE 'MALCOLM PARODIES')

CONFUSED?

FIGURE IT OUT.


The Voting Thread Is Open Until July 23rd.

___

Good Luck to the 3 who entered. Yep.

Did I mention that everyone who gets in the Top 3 get's a $50 Gift Certificate...

...To DOMINO'S PIZZA! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!*










































*If for some twisted reason, you actually want this gift certificate, you have to find Silver Power at his home, and you will recieve them, face to face with the little bitch angel himself. Good luck finding his house at 961 Lenape Drive, Erma, New Jersey, 08204...

This contest, as a whole, sucks without more competitors. All of you Queen parodists should be ashamed of yourselves if you saw this notice and didn't even bother entering.  >:(

Anyway--
3pts-Cat
2pts-Meow's "Mel Is The Champion"
1pt=Meow's "Bus"

Agri, You can only vote for each parody author once. The 2 parody thing was just so people who entered a crappy Queen Parody could get a second chance, since Queen parodies are hard to perfect.

I wish I had something other than "Powdered Water Rhapsody", which I already entered in the ABC-P round (to fairly mixed reviews).

I will read and vote though if Silver Power will allow it.

Um...then how are we supposed to vote 3 TIMES AND NOT VOTE FOR OURSELVES?  ::)

If I am supposed to vote twice, well then drop "Bus" obviously.

(Silver, we should seriously consider this contest a failure)

I've thought of that already.

Vote for yourself or only two people.

Yes, I guess anyone can vote, because of the situation.

Go ahead, Red (Couldn't Help It), Fire (Ant) Away. (Couldn't help that either... I wish you could do stuff like that with my username... Still No Disrespect.)

By the way, Red, why didn't you say anything during Round 2 of the Yo Mama contest? You made it to Round 2...

And since I'm the one who entered two Queen parodies, it becomes even more problematic. Obviously I would have to choose #1 and #2 among the other two entrants. I think they should be able to vote either for one of my parodies and the other author's parody (1 and 2), or for the other author's parody and both of mine (1,2 and 3) if they wish. But in any case once the rules are explicitly explained I certainly am willing to accept them.

Anyway, my votes are:

1st place--Agrimorphee's "We will shock you"

2nd place--Cat's Get-Someone-Else-Rich-Quick Scheme Rhapsody

This  either Cat or Aggie win unless a nonparticipant votes.  :-\\

Or even worse, it is still mathematically possible for there to be a tie.

Uh yeah...

2 Points for Agri, "We Will Shock You"
1 Point for Michael, "Another Run For The Bus"

This is the weirdest parody contest I have EVER been in, by far.  ???

Then, maybe next time, more people should enter.

I got caught up with other things. I'll try to get to my board later today and post.

I did read and comment on the 4 entries, though my votes here are too late. Even if they were allowed, I'd rather not cast the deciding vote on a contest which I didn't enter.

Well, then, you're all winners. Inside. *Soft, smooth background music*

You see, it doesn't matter what your parodies are like in the votes. It matters how good they are. And if they suck, screw them.

Iiiiiiit's.... A beautiful day in my neighborhood....

*You all win. Just screw it.*
