Voting for Best Parody
 

This is the main portion of the Contest, Best Parody.

By votes whomever gets the most wins. If you have a lot of socks please don't stack the deck, that's rude (this means not you Penske.)

Most votes gets the $50 gift certificate
Second mosts gets $25 gift certificate

You will need to refer back to the parody thread to see which is which, kind of kludgy I know, but the best way we could do it. Just click on the link. Some people submitted two songs in one post, so the link is the same. Just make the first one the lower number and the second one the higher (duh)


Additional categories to come later.

Skeking to the oldies
 

Although I voted, I was loath to do so because I like these oldies better.

First and best:

Penske "Amy Thottam" Account's ode to Thottam.

And in no particular order the rest:

I would propose adding a "shortest song" category.

Are we sure the votes are tabulating correctly? I was assured that this would be a popularity contest. Why then are my submissions not in the lead? I ask not out of concern for my ego, but to bring to your attention that there may be a software glitch. Or perhaps a hacker?

If there's a hacker involved, your entry would be defaced, in some form or another, or replaced with an entry that is blank except for some multi-colored gibberish that includes the words "0wn3d," "r00t3d," and, if they are in a pedantic mood, "n00blah." If they are feeling particularly social, they would also include "gr33tz" and "sh0ut0utz" to their "friends." They aren't shy and generally like to take credit for their artwork.

And, if they were inclined to tweak the polling results, they would give some entry 1,000,000 votes or somesuch to really mess up the margins. Or -1,000,000 for that matter.

So no, it's not a hacker.

Hey, PC, how do hackers spell "j-o-k-e"?

Voting for Best Parody
 

seems to me that PC knows how to spell that... do you?

Hmm. So shall I flag my jokes next time with the [JOKE] [/JOKE] tags?

Voting for Best Parody
 

You can, but you have to cite Ty when you do that. And pay a reasonable fee. I hear Ty also invented the internet. Just so he and Bilmore could bore everyone to tears by dissecting Josh Marshall quotes on the PB. Resourceful chap, that Ty.

[STEVE_MARTIN]Well, excuse me![/STEVE_MARTIN]


That parasite!


You mean it was Ty who spoke at my friend's college graduation back in 1996 and put everyone to sleep?


I smell a conspiracy.

Maybe you just aren't as popular as you think lizard.

Voting for Best Parody
 

And how do you explain why I'm even with a damn lizard in the voting?

And I understand that dreamy Atticus getting all those votes, but damnit, I think Penske and Thurgreed must have their legs entwined.

Voting for Best Parody
 

There are many mysteries in the world I cannot explain. And here is one. I have absolutely no idea how you managed to get as many votes as the lizard.

I know who my first vote was; my second must be either Chevy or RP, I imagine.

Maybe ANTWAT, but I thought she was actually a bit bitter at the way we left it.

Ouch.

Sock Hop
 

Looks like the socks are gettin' busy stuffin' ballots.

Okay, what the hell? Did everyone get a pity vote? I mean, that's nice and all, and now I can stop crying in the corner in the fetal position (at least until I get home), but now my faith in democracy is shaken. I guess I will have to go back to the corner after all.

I am only going to say this once. DO NOT register socks just to vote in this poll.

I can tell if you are the same person, I can tell when you registered, I WILL (and have) removed the votes.


Very uncool.

Nor will I allow someone to stuff the box with em's own socks so em can win.

Also very uncool.

Voting for Best Parody
 

Ouch. I guess in My position it is better to be feared than loved. Ah well, enough Art. Back to the enslavement of millions. Sigh.

Don't look at me, I've been off line since friday.

Guilty conscience much?

4 sox = 4 votes. As for the lizard, hmmm.
