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 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

Agrimorfee, your parody "7 Of 9" is one of the most intricately clever, well paced, and humorously slick parodies I've ever read on AmiRight.  The way it matches the pacing of Prince's singing on the OS & the way its subject matter fits so cleverly with the rhythm and drum sections of the OS are nothing short of amazing. 

5 points for #2.  Agrimorfee 7 Of  9
4 points for #5.  Arwen 50 Days To Find A Lover
3 points for #6.  Kristof Robertson 88 Lines About 44 Strange Dates
2 points for #8.  Stuart McArthur 1989
1 point  for #4.  Cat 50 Ways To Cheat At Testing

Wow: talk about leaving the best til last! Each parody submitted here could've easily medalled in any of the other rounds (IMHO)
But, alas, I'm only allowed 5 votes, so here goes

5 pts: Cat's unscrupulous ways
4 pts: Red Ant's repetetive malaise
3 pts: Arwen's Dees, Gregs and Rays
2 pts: Stu's nostalgia-filled craze
1 pt: Charny's girl-getting plays

Great round, everyone! See you in Year 4!!!!!

Wow. This was a really hard round. Good job, everyone!

Congratulations to Kristof & Cat & Arwen!    ;D

And my thanks to everyone who donated digits to my pi parody!  ;D

Yays to Kristoff, Cat & Arwen...your talents are spread out 50 WAYS!  ;)

Thanks to all for your kind comments on "7 of 9"--it's one of my personal favorites of my more recent works.

Ah yes, congrats to Kris as usual...;)

But 2nd place! Wowzers. Wasn't expecting that. Thanks to all who voted for me! ;D

Congrats too to Arwen! That was a great parody, girl!

Congrats to Kristof, Cat, and Arwen.

(congrats to myself for having the 3rd best "50 Ways..." parody here  :P)

Maybe next year I'll do "50 Ways to Lose a Contest"  :D
