The first and last annual Susapalooza – our group parody of Twin Cities professional child of the sixties Susan Lenfestey – is switching into its big finale.
Voting begins tomorrow.
Here’s what you do: Read the various entries. Voting starts the morning of Christmas Eve. Winner will be announced on New Years’ day!
The contendas:
- Yossarian, “Dashed Dreams“
- Learned Foot, “Christmas Torment“
- Marty Andrade, “Rapid Transit To Hell“
- Dan S., “Conservatives’ Slinky Hatred“
- Riverdan, “Sylvia Plath Was Such A Pollyanna“
- Lassie, “Waterboard My Heart“
- Dave, “Waxy Yellow Buildup Of My Life“
- Yossarian (Second entry): “Reflections of Misery“
- Swiftee, “The Dove Of My Spirit Has Crashed Into The Tower Of My Misery“
- Yossarian (Third Entry): “Dungeonmaster Of My Soul“
- ak, “I Am Woman, Hear Me Shriek“
- zestro, “Echoes Of The Dead“
Come on back any time between December 24 and December 31.
It would appear I have the honor of being the first member of the Jury. May I first say that all of the entries were splendid examples of satire. They were just as fun on the second reading. Learned Foot’s contribution, however, IMO was a little thin. But then sometimes less is more, nes, pas?
So now my vote for #1 entry:
Dan S. “Conservative’s Slinky Hatred”
The metaphor was excellent.
My #2:
Swiftee “The Dove of My Heart…”
The absolute, pathological need to insert a Wellstone! reference was well played.
Yossarian gets at least two honorable mentions, if only for volume. And Fellatio references.
Actually, today’s post is for review only.
There’ll be an online poll in this space tomorrow.
(What? Me, tabulate?)
I was sure I saw “vote early, vote often”. Appologies. I can never be accused of a lack of enthusiasm.
The Titles alone are worthy of the National Endowment for the Arts. Nice job Mitch
You guys are good, but none can hold a candle to the master:
