Would anybody have a problem with me resubmitting my entry, because there were a few corrections I need to make on the first stanza?
I'm not changing a lot of this parody, I'm only changing a few minor things.

Boy, this is early for me! Difficult round to vote in...some obscure OSes, and it's hard coming up with a new angle for fashion.
Nevertheless....

5 pts: Phil- The topic fit the OS perfectly: the idea was original, and the parody even courted some controversy!

4 pts: Jeff- Transvestitism is just inherently funny, and the wacky OS complimented it perfectly

3 pts: Stu- Another perfect OS choice, which hammered home the satire

2 pts: Arwen- Another TMBG tune, and the joyful silliness of the parody was infectious

1 pt: Agri- For sheer originality!!

HM to Matty, who easily made my shortlist, but just missed out as Ag's theme was a little more original

Well that's just perfect - Dad just happened to choose the wrong time to ban me from the internet for a day. I KNEW I should've voted earlier but this one COMPLETELY slipped my mind.

Though I didn't get any points anyway, so it's not a large crisis. just a medium-sized one.
