Free Republic Voting Thread: 2007 Today's Toons Favorites (Final Round)

various | 1/7/08 | various

[pookie18]

The preliminary round went pretty well. The voting reduced the 180 items in that round to the remaining 40 (included ties) listed in random order below. As it turned out, any item that received less than 11 votes was eliminated. 3 items received no votes at all.

There are some "rules" here, but not many. When selecting your favorites, use your own criteria. Some like funny, clever, pithy, touching, etc. Some like cartoons, photoshops, animations, etc. So, judge each entry unto itself. As the one who adds click-on audios, videos, pics, toons to existing entries, I judge these to be part of that entry as a whole...you, of course, can ignore that if you wish...but only at your own peril ;-)

Each entry is numbered (1-40). Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to send me (via comment in this thread/FReepmail/e-mail) the numbers in order of preference of your 10 (or less, if you can't find 10 that you like) favorites. If you are caught sending more than 10, I won't disavow your existence, but will ask you to remove any excess. This offer will self-destruct at 7 PM ET, Sunday, January 13, 2008. Scoring will be as follows: A 1st-place vote will get 10 pts., a 2nd-place vote earns 9 pts., ..., down to a 10th-place vote getting 1 pt. Good luck!

If certain pics/toons don't download (even after a refresh/reload), send me their numbers (which will show up) & I'll try to help. The detailed results of this final vote will be posted on Monday, January 14, 2008. The decision of the judge (Today's Toons editor-in-chief) is final! Questions? Bring it on! And now, on with the show!!

P.S. If you'd like to inquire about possibly helping with the Best Of 2008, FReepmail me ASAP & I'll tell you what would be involved. A few of you were disappointed that some of your favorite cartoons didn't make it into the preliminary round; here's your chance to make sure that this doesn't happen again...so speak now or forever hold your peace!!

P.P.S. Did I remember to say in order of preference?

P.P.P.S. If you send me your picks in numerical order, I will ask you if they're really in (altogether now) order of preference...

In order of preference — there are four and ONLY four:

1. #21 — I had the Pork Chop

2. # 8 — Savin’ your A$$, like it or not

3. #30 — Mission Accomplished ! We’re losin’ the war ...

4. #34 — The Only Person Standing ...

Actually, I would PREFER to make it ( 5 x #21, 3 x #8, #30, #34 ) but your rules don’t appear to stretch that way.

Shucks ...

Sorry pookie, I could not really decide the order so I just listed them. They were all good, it was very hard to choose, my list had 30, it was hard to pare down.

My pleasure & thanks for playing, arbooz!

You are definitely a "uniter" - there's a plethora of opinions among your fans!

Why do you think they refer to me as Johhny "Unitas"?! ;-)

Thanks for your ballot, CarolAnn!
