Voting for the Challenger's Choice Award Begins!


Hehrow Ewewonne...

My apologies for having gone a bit silent these past few days. I had to go in for some scheduled dental surgery this past week, which is no big deal in of itself, but the pain meds really knocked me on my keister for a bit.  Anyway, the 'ole choppers are gleefully gnashing away and I'm back on the game.  'It is safe.' :)

This week I'm issuing polls for both the Challengers' Choice and Peoples' Choice Awards.

First up: The Challengers' Choice. 

For the the selection of the Challengers' Choice I'd like all the participants of this year's event to refer to the poll in the right sidebar and choose the top three entries/figures that impressed them the most over the course of this year's Challenge. This can be an entire entry, a series of entries built around a theme, or a specific figure within an entry (theme entries included).  The votes are weighted with the first choice getting 3 points, second with 2 points and third receiving 1 point. I've included a free text field if you want to leave any additional comments.

Also, please remember to provide your Challenge name or I will be forced to ignore your votes.

I'll be releasing a poll for the Peoples' Choice Award in a few days. This poll will allow all those folks who followed the Challenge over the past three months to participate and vote for their favourite entries.

Voting for the Challengers' Choice closes at midnight next Sunday (April 5th). 

Cheers!

  1. Voting for this category is even harder than last year. The quality, quantity and variety of entries was breath taking. I think everyone deserves a prize! Especially the newbies :)

  2. Glad your teeth are better, had a similar problem last year with horizontal wisdom teeth. Could you have given us a harder task. Actually it was easy, I picked the 3 posts that still standout in my mind when asked to explain to Challenge to civilians

  5. Dentists,schmentists! All you need is a pair of vice grips and a bottle of rum. Heck you even have a dentists chair in your living room.

    All kidding aside, glad to hear that all is well after the visit to the tooth wright.
    Cheers, PD

    3. Dave - the whole "Dave's a GIMP" thing was just a joke, I think you're taking it a bit too seriously...

    4. @jmilesr indeed it is. It is gone. For this ref you need to check out "The Pogues"

    5. The old C18th Royal Navy quote was (apparently) "Rum, Bum and Bacca" later as "Ashore it's wine, women and song, but aboard, it's rum, bum and concertina". Sadly, the story linking this line with Churchill is false - although he admitted to wishing he actually had said it.

  9. I now can't get the vision of Steve Martin singing the Dentist Son from Little Shop of Horrors out of my head (I have, however, got a big smile on my face as a result).

    Votes now cast.

  12. Clearly this is the result of spending too much time on biting satire Mr Campbell.
