Subject: ABC5 (E/F) Voting Thread Deadline: 4/15/09

Written By: Matthias on 05/01/09 at 10:57 pm

Welcome to the
ABC5 (E/F)
Voting Thread



Voting deadline for ABC5(D) is midnight (amiright time)  Thursday May 15th
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)

HM to Guy, tough round, good parody--just wish that OS had more lyrics, because I was left wanting more

1 Point to Agrimorfee, I loved the idea, it was so cute it was funny, and as much as I love Pink, the OS does leave a whiny brat kinda sound in your mind, which made the parody even more cute and funny--tighter pacing would have made this an even stronger contender

2 Points to Stu McArthur--Stu--you know I love this one, AmIRight specific?  I disagree personally, very fun. . very original

3 Points to Matthias--Matty, your pacing on this one wasn't perfect, but it was close, and with gas prices on the rise again, I could relate. . .

4 Points to Claude--Just superb all around

5 Points to Jeff-Well, this goes without saying, this was just hilarious. . .

Appreciate it man... I was doing some acting gigs today. I made 140 bucks getting people in Cleveland to dance, and got a part as a snide boss like the one in Office Space. It was a good day!

Just couldn't wait to get your penuts could you Jeff?  Seriously good round, hey all three of the top three made my vote (Actually for the matter, take out my name, and I voted for the five that ranked the highest)  As rare as that is for me, sometimes It's nice to know my vote wasn't crazy :P  Good job Jeff, Claude and Stu
