Free Republic Voting Thread: 2006 Today's Toons Favorites (Final Round)

various | 1/8/07 | various

[pookie18]

The preliminary round went pretty well. The voting reduced the 180 items in that round to the remaining 44 (included ties) listed in random order below. As it turned out, any item that received < 8 votes was eliminated. 5 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 (1-44). 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 > 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 14, 2007. 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 15, 2007. 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 2007, 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?

You're really making it difficult, limiting it to just 10 Pookie! But here they are:
42, 10, 21, 9, 19, 2, 43, 30, 37, 40

Thanks,
Cuz

You're welcome, Doogle. You have up to 9 other picks should you opt to use them.

[pookie18]

You're welcome, Cuz! I guess I could've asked for all 44 in order of preference ;-)

[pookie18]

Thanks for voting!

I think #42 is simply fabulous and hilarious, but it is neither a 'toon nor a photoshop (and it will win a spot without my vote anyway), so my votes (in order of preference) are:

22, 12, 40, 13, 15, 30, 33, 36, 18, and 35

This was REALLY REALLY tough, Pookie, and thanks for all your hard work!

[Just another Joe]

First - #3
Second - #41
Third - #42

As I said before, top three are good enough for me.

[DollyCali]

In order of favorite at beginning:

39, 40, 10, 36, 31, 25, 7, 9, 22,21

Thanks Pookie.. this is a LOT of work for you
