based on this one falling so far down the list, I think maybe a two day extension could be considered to avoid a mass DQ'a'thon

My votes however are

1 Point to Pirate Jack Wilson

2 Points to Hot Stuff Matthias

3 Points to Bug Spray DJ Blaze

4 Points to King of Corn Jeff Reuben

5 Points to The Conqueror of Remote Losing

I'll vote when T-Cop and Jack get theirs in. Since I'm in control of this contest, and nothing's going on in it, I'll give as much time as they need.

Congrats to TCOP and Jeff (and DJ Blaze), thank you guys very much for my first place, hopefully when this contest returns it will no longer be such a small entry field, because it deserves more attention than it got.

Not to sound like an egomaniac, but I agree: this does deserve more attention than it's getting.
