Subject: ABC5 (D) VOTES TOTALED

Written By: Matthias on 04/11/09 at 11:16 pm

Welcome to the
ABC5 (D)
Voting Thread



Voting deadline for ABC5(D) is midnight (amiright time)  Thursday May 1st
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 or ABC3
- 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 ABC4 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)

Due to the situation mentioned in other threads, I wanted to get everything out of the way since I won't have a chance later in the week to vote etc, I did my best not to think about my Uncle for the judging, certain comedy helped me between this and the SOTM.  . .there were 7 written down as my top picks for this round, so I had to cut two, but note that it was a very tough decision. . .

a very honorable mention to Claude's @$$ and Melanie's Dummed Down. . .

1 Point to Stuart McArthur (Still a classic)

2 Points to Agrimorfee (You may not like the original artist or song one iota Agri, but reading this parody you wouldn't know it, great job)

3 Points to Matthias (Regardless of the final title, this is still one of your earliest true epic attempts, and it still shines)

4 Points to Red Ant (The easiest OS to parody of my top 5, and yet among the funniest, and to a song that SOOOO deserved it. . blah blah)

5 Points to JEFF REUBEN (This song really got me a good laugh, despite having seen it before, If anyone did an 'essentials list' for Jeff Reuben, this would be on it)

sheesh, my song link is dead again. Here's a new, working link to the OS:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPWSnIFPUCk

ETA: lmao, this link is to the single edit, which, until now, I never knew existed. It cuts out the long outro vocals, which I also did in my parody. Serendipity of synchronicity?
