Hmm, it almost seems silly posting the results with just three voters, but alas. . .

*******************************************************
1st Profile: A Macho Ignoramous earned 14 Points by Jeff Reuben

2nd Greek Gnomes Nude in Tampa earned 13 Points by Below Average Dave
2nd Thin Green Lizard earned 13 Points by Below Average Dave
(Interesting: my second time tying myself in the past three POTQs--Identical Votes)
*******************************************************

4th Since You're King Kong just missed with 12 Points by Matthias

5th Crepe earned 11 Points by Matthias to be just two points out

Well, we all earned over 10 points, no extra voters unfortunately, which made the resulting totals a little on the light side, but Congrats Jeff, Good month Matt (both your entries would have likely made a run even with more entrants) and thank you both for my votes. . .

Congrats to Jeff and Dave


it was a weird month, both you and I had our entries voted differently by the two other voters as to which one was better. . .if it makes you feel any better. . .

I double lost the POTQ by one point, AND lost a podium spot by tie break x2, both of which I partially caused with my own vote (I don't add up totals before voting, for proof see this result or the Led Zeppelin result  ::) )

Congrats to both of you too!  I also don't look at the current votes before voting (especially when it's this light) for the same reason, I don't want it to influence me, consciously or subconsciously.  Too bad we didn't get other voters this month, it would have been nice.
