Subject: ABC (Q/R) Voting Thread Results Posted

Written By: Below Average Dave on 09/20/09 at 3:08 am

Welcome to the
ABC5 (Q & R)
Voting Thread



Voting deadline for ABC5(P) is by the end of the day according to AmIRight
Friday September 18th
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 or ABC4
- 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 ABC5 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)


and the entries are.........


1. Ripped by Red Ant
   If

I realize this is well past the deadline of September 18th given above, but I thought I'd submit it anyway.

Closely matched competition...I had to decide my votes based on how much each one made me laugh...

4 Points: Guy DiRito..."Roundin' Out (Ptolemy's Song)"
3 Points: Mark Scotti..."Rear Ender"

Muchos Gracias, Guy!!!

You would have fit in perfectly with the crowd I used to hang with when I was younger.  We used to go to this piano bar every Friday after work, and this friend of mine would play the piano, and the whole crowd would sing dirty limericks for hours.  The version of the Azores limerick that you put in your comments would have seemed tame compared to the version we would sing.

May I have an extension until tomorrow or Sunday, please?  I've had a very busy two weeks of studying, preparing lessons, etc., plus tonight I'm reviewing an Off-Broadway play, called Love, Loss, and What I Wore, featuring Rosie O'Donnell.  It's my first Off-Broadway review (I've done Off-Off-Broadway before), and I'm doing it for nytheatre.com.  8)

Guy, I hate to break it to you, but you didn't leave a comment on my parody..... no big deal, I just don't want you DQed.

I say "yes" to Melanie, if only out of self-interest.  For some reason I thought we had another week.

Apologies for the late comments everyone.

Leo - you so earned that five from me.  When you can weave a twisted plot into a parody as you have done and do such a fine job on an intimidating OS it simply demands a high five.  It was my pleasure to lay that vote on you.  You deserve a podium prize in this round in my book.
