Welcome to the
ABC3 (D)
Voting Thread


Voting deadline for ABC3(D) is midnight (amiright time)     Wednesday August 16th
No votes date-stamped after the voting deadline will be accepted - no exceptions


Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:

1st choice........5 points
2nd place.........4 points
3rd place..........3 points
4th place..........2 points
5th place..........1 point

or in algebraic terms, p = 6 - r     (p=points, r=rank)



RULES
- Any parody beginning with the current letter is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into ABC1 or ABC2
- 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 hasn't left a comment on all entries is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter
- 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 ABC3 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 
        (if less than 4 entrants in the comp, only 2 sympathetic "Thumbs Ups" are required)



And the entries are.........

Don't Drive So Close To Me

Well done, everyone! You won't be seeing ME in an ABC comp for a while...not that I'm chicken, or anything, I just have little to submit.

I've never thought of you as chicken, bob...more like roast lamb and mint sauce. ;D

Pffffff....too tough.

I've had to leave out some VERY enjoyable parodies...again...to comply with the strictures of the comp, but I ain't happy about it!

5 pts: Rick
In-bred parodies for me are like Big Macs; I KNOW they're no good for me, but.....

4 pts: Cat
That combination of wanton stupidity and Ringo Starr is too good to ignore

3pts: Agri
Yee-haw! A CHEEEESY OS given a lovely alcoholic topping.

2pts: Arwen
Who remembers the Amiright Party? We need to start campaigning again...

1 pt: conqueror bob

This was a hoot! I only wish I had more parodies to put into the ABCs, they're just as fun as the SOTMs and not as nerve-racking. Anywho...

I know the deadline is midnight, and the rules have been clearly posted now for 4 comps, but Arwen does live in Wyoming which is 2 hours west of the AmIRight clock.

That's RIGHT...which is why I'm here at 11:15 my time, just in time to scurry through the entries and beat the clock... 8)

I'm sorry folks...but I (almost) ALWAYS post my votes at 11:something on the night of the deadline.  :(

That's it, Stuart...we are totally in a fight.  In fact, I think I temporarily hate you.  And now I just have to find a perfect Duet to write my next entry for the Decathlon about how much I hate you.  >:(

Congrats Kristof, Agrimorfee, Johnny D and Cat!

And thanks all who voted for D-I-L-L-DOUGH, even though TOS is the second lamest in history, right behind "Happy Birthday".  ;D

And Arwen, even though you were DQed, I'd like to know what you think about D-I-L-L-DOUGH.   ;)

Keep your pants on, McArthur... :)



oh great, NOW you tell me.... :-

now, Cat, calm down - see Arwen's little angry faces?  they're TOO furious to REALLY be angry - deep down there's a lot of love behind those furious eyebrows....

:-*

Are you anticipating some sort of feline bodyguard action to take place? ???

Oh, wait, I mean...I hate you. >:(

yes :).......er :-\\.........no :-

Oh, wait, I mean...I hate you. >:(



do you hate me because I'm beautiful, or because I'm just about to spill my drink in your lap?

Congratulations to Kristof :D, Agrimorfee :D, Johnny D :D and Cat! :D

Aggy takes a Silver, after plugging away for 4 years at the Amiright camps. Thanks for all your kind votes. A handshake to my fellow athletes alongside of me, Kristof and Johnny D!

WOW! Thanks so much for supporting my Norse flatpacked ditty. Big BRAVOs to Agri (well done, matey, and I know there's gonna be more metal in your trophy cabinet before the year's through), JD (at his bawdy best) and Cat; who unfortunately,due to the ruling that teen prodigies aren't allowed to win medals (as they show us poor wrinklies up) must hand her bronze back, FORTHWITH!  ::)

Oh shut up, ya old coot, before I beat you over the head with your cane.  :P

Anywho, congrats to Kristof, Agri, and JD!!  ;D ;D ;D (but what's this about me being Arwen's bodyguard?)

Oh shut up, ya old coot, before I beat you over the head with your cane.  :P

LOL ! Nicely done, Cat! You obviously know that Kristof's bark is worse than his bite (except, of course, on days he has remembered to put in his dentures)

(but what's this about me being Arwen's bodyguard?)


Oh no no...I pretty much take care of myself.  It's Stuart who needs some defending...

...because I hate him.  And that's a pretty big deal around here...

Don't worry Arwen, we ALL hate that Aussie bass-turd!
