OMG! I have NO idea how to narrow it down - most of these had me laughing until tears came out of my eyes (as opposed to coming out of my elbows because that would just be weird). I kinda felt like I had to flip a coin on some of these because they're all so different and all so entertaining.  SO... here goes...

Yep, you did it right, welcome to SOTM!

I hope I'm doing this right...

For safety you could clarify whether "1" is your number one ranked or the one you give 1 point, because there's no rule on if the number one ranked should come first or last on the list (personally I prefer last, to build whatever reading suspense is possible, as my own list in the next post will show.

BTW: In case you wonder why there's a commenter/voter (me) who's not in with a song of his own it's because once you've participated in a round you can do that, and I'm a regular who just sits out this particular round. There might be others coming in on the last days to do the same, but normally (since we're in more often than out) it's usually only one or two.

If I'm reading the first voter's list correctly we already have a trend for the medals, cos then my top two is the same:

1 Point: "I Want To Be A Race Car"

2 Points: "Breaking Stuff In Vegas"

3 Points: "Slack Plastic Woman"

4 Points: "Cops'll Getcha"

5 Points: "And I Guess That's Why They Call Me The Blue"

EDIT: Spelling error.

 

  Number 4  5 Points for DJ's pimped out MG.

  Number 5  4 Points for Mark's Scotti's potty.

  Number 3  3 Points for Med's foul balls.

  Number 1  2 Points for Phil's plastic surgery.

  Number 8  1 Point for Bulldogma's all left turn driving.

Guy: please se my comment on your comment on your parody. It's vital in order to fully appreciate the parody (ie not get the entirely wrong message).

I have and suicide is mentioned twice in the parody.  Once as describing the act of sliting wrists and on another occasion the word suicide is actually used. i commented back to you on amiright.  If I missed the point than maybe you should insure that your point is made more clearly.  Sorry.  i have been a suicide survivor (that is a perosn who knows someone who has complleted a suicide) twice now in my life so I find any reference to it to have no humor about it at all, so even if it is explained to me what the parody is about I will most certainly not change my feeling on the subject.  The subject always brings back very bad feeling for me.  Sorry.  I felt at fault in both suicides so no amount of "it's not your fault" will change my views on the matter.  One was a family member and the other was a writer here on amiright.

5 points - Guy'll getcha
4 points - Arwen's breakings

Hey COP - No hard feelings - how were you to know?  I don't fault you for your parody, heck I'd probably write about suicide myself if I were not so affected by it.  I deal with the guilt feelings.  I know intellectually that it was not my fault in either case but my heart says differently, if you can understand that.  The second time it touched me was last November and it was an author on amiright who I was helping deal with a spouse that committed suicide 22 months earlier.  It was meant to be a murder suicide but the amiright author survived though horribly crippled - shot in the back with a shotgun and permanent nerve damage affecting the legs, one way more than the other which required the use of arm braces in order to walk.  I should have seen the signs but I had denial and I missed the clues.  I didn't write many parodies from Nov 2008 until around July 2009.  I'm back at it again because I know that the person I was trying to help deal with being a suicide survivor would not wish for me to quit writing.  I'm sorry if I made you feel bad by telling you why I did not like your parody.  It is nothing personal I assure you.  You keep writing whatever you like - I'm a big boy and I can take it.

Just get well Dave - we like and need you out here.  I have no problem with delay.  It's not like the world will end if you don't get results posted on time.

Edited to fix a puncuation error - Lord knows I catch enough for being so promiscuous with my grammar.  It's hell being a wordsmith ho.  =;-)

Have a virtual (manly) hug, Dave - life gets that way to all of us at times.  If I get a few spare minutes, I'll collate the results (if you like).  But breaks from work are in 1min coffee intervals at the moment.

Pretty much the same here, I can get on it from home later this evening if not Phil or anyone else has taken care of it by then.

I'm off from work today so I had time to tally.  Hopefully I have no errors in the tally.  If anyone wants to double check, please be my guest.  Here is what I came up with:  I'll leave the close out and posting the new thread to Dave.

Couldn't wait for the weekend to see your name in lights, right?  ;)

We have the same medalists but different points, me and TCOP gave votes from 1 to 5 instead of from 5 to 1, unless I missed something I don't see that might be where you did, Dave or a third counter might wanna check it out, but like I said we don't differ on the supposed medals. Congrats on the win BTW - you got points from everyone, something we don't see in every round.

What no FUCA this round?  Peter, you are probably right about my vote miscalculations.  Attention deficit causes me to lose track of things when doing mundane tasks.  Thanks for covering my calculations.

I make it that Mark has won the FUCA, as "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" hasn't hit a top 3 slot.

..which is kind of lucky, in a way, as otherwise Matthias and I would have been joint FUCAs, which might be a bit embarrassing.

Anyway, congrats, Guy, Arwen and Medemia  :-)

I was going to wait until it was official, when Dave finished up the thread but since you, Phil are offering congrats my sincere appreciation goes out to you.  I never in my wildest dreams thought this parody had a chance of winning but I am happy that it did.  I was so totally surprised and way past my wildest dream,that everyone in the comps and even one (Peter) who was not in the comps voted for my parody,  Congrats to Arwen and Medemia for your podium finishes.  Great work, each of you.  This is my 2nd SOTM win ever.  My first one was also an Aug win last year in 2008.  August must be my month for some reason.  Again I thank each and every one of you for laying points on my parody.  Hope to see you great bunch of writers in the next round.  So now that I have gotten my 15 minutes of fame it's on to the next round!  Good luck to one and all.  Once again my whole hearted thanks goes out to you all.

I would like to echo Guy's thanks to everyone.  It's a confidence booster to see that people actually enjoy my stuff :)  Congrats to Guy and Arwen and everyone else for joining in this madness :)

Thanks for the 5th Place votes, and congrats to Guy (second SOTM victory!!!), Arwen, and Medemia!

thanks everyone for doing this for me, I was at the airport at 7:30 this morning, this has been my first chance since landing in St. Louis to post anything, after completing my course work for the week, so yeah. . .in addition to still feeling like I've been hit by a monster truck and then kicked in the stomach, butt and back of the eye's retina for a few hours I simply have too much going on right this minute to keep up. . .further evidenced by my lack of posting new parodies and recordings (well for my normal pace anyway). . .congrats Guy, and guys and yeah everyone, . . .I need alcohol, tylenol and maybe some skittles right now. . .see you all later.

I hope I'm doing this right (I've been known to make some flubs before).

OMG! I have NO idea how to narrow it down - most of these had me laughing until tears came out of my eyes (as opposed to coming out of my elbows because that would just be weird). I kinda felt like I had to flip a coin on some of these because they're all so different and all so entertaining.  SO... here goes...



Hi there Bulldogma. I don't believe I've seen you or your work on the site.  You did a fairly good showing if this is your firrst comp.  I'd like to welcome you to the board and the parody site.  We need more female writers.  I remember when female writers could be counted on one hand.  You show promise - stick around and make us laugh and cry and feel good.  Welcome!  BTW - I'm DoRitos on the messageboarrd but I use my real name Guy DiRito on amiright.  Try to guess how I got my messageboard screen name. =;-)

Female writers for the win!

Great to meet everyone, and thank you for the warm welcome! Sorry it took a while to get back to you. I don't writer parodies very often - this was one of those things that just kind of wrote itself. Hopefully it won't be my last because this seems like a pretty cool group of people.

:o)

Hopefully it won't be my last because this seems like a pretty cool group of people.

Careful... while it is a pretty cool group of people (though I say so myself :D), it can get addictive.  But I can control it.  I could stop writing parodies any time



Hello, my name's Phil, and I'm a paroholic ;)

Thirty five years later, it seems, I get my lazy ass over here to say congrats to Guy and to Medemia, and especially thanks to everyone who voted for my Vegas tale.   :)  As always, I appreciate your votes, but mostly I love your fun comments and support.  My writing is sporadic, at best, lately...so this was a little (and by little I mean huge) boost that I needed.  You guys are all awesome... :-*
