Things that are broken: Marvin's concept of "Best Thing to Happen to You This Year" The bones of anyone who gets in Carlito's (and his cousin's) way JN News' spirit

Are you going to make your victory speech to try and upstage me, VX? I mean you beat me already, so I figured you would upstage me again out of spite.

Pan flute?

If 80% is good enough for Carlito, it's good enough for me, damn it.

Why does it not surprise me that Ginger can only find two posters at TSM who have been nice to her in the past? Others have been nice to me, of course. Those two just stood out. And I'm honestly not sure who some of these people are. "Smues" for example. No offense, Smues. He's that guy that bought a mod spot. I voted for you over Ripper. Frowns all around. Shouldn't Ginger be very familiar with that story?

Listened to it in reverse with a pack of Pabst?

I did PM one guy: Hoff. I didn't ask him for a vote, just informed him that the tourney was going on because he usually comes back every year simply for the tournament. When I contacted him, I was up by 27 or so.

I tried to go back to the first round last night and change my vote to Cena's Writer. Matt even got bitched out by Carlito.

Easily deceived by pictures.

Because you scared him off.

Man of 104 Friends is writing a fucking dissertation!

Calls me a bastard every time I look at his avatar.

My name is not really EHME's Torn Condom.

I believe the change to "DopUssy" was his attempt to be humorous with everyone calling him "DoCock" instead of "DocOck." You see, "DopUssy" has the same style as "DocOck" if it were to actually say Do Cock. Understand?

When you called me last night, Carlito, you said you hoped I won. Why are you playing this tough guy persona on the board? I know who you really are, and what a kind, gentle soul you can be.

That was DoCock? WHAT? And you allowed that heathern to vote in this tourney, like his opinion holds any merit?

Ahem! Edit---Nevermind. It was "the r-train." I found the thread.

It would be easier to just jump on my bandwagon, KOAB. I already rallied the troops back there. Do you remember who I am talking about, Czech? The guy in the singlet that asked if his look was marketable?

What about A-train?

Thomas J. Mayer didn't even get nominated. "Mayer-lution is a mysteryyyyyyyy! Full of change that no one seeees."

ONE MORE ROUND! ONE MORE ROUND! ONE MORE ROUND!

"Thank you, thank you. This is not the speech I wanted to be making today, but it appears I am left with no other option. I would like to state that I am taking this defeat in good stride, and I will not let it change my vision, my goals, or what I stand for. I entered this race to win, and though I am disappointed by not doing so, I feel that I have grown, and have nowhere to go from here except for up. "I will not be handling myself in the same vain as Matt Young, who relied on nefarious means to sway the outcome of round one to his favor. Nor will I handle myself the way his opponent, Cena's Writer, handled himself amidst that controversy. I will not let this get to me, and I will have the epitomy of decorum on this day. First, I would like to thank all of my supporters who backed me at various points of this tournament. Without you, there would be no El Dandy. You were the driving force that got me this far. Your voice rang loud and clear in round one that you were ready for a change! You marched to the polls and stamped your approval of one Elroy O. Dandy! In the second round, I had much stiffer competition. However, you did not let that get in our way, as you come through in a tight race to make sure that the dream lived on. Bob Barron was a formidable opponent, and I maintain that he lost with dignity, and so now, will I. In the third round, you could have given up, but you chose to back me anyway. Some of you stood by my side in our darkest hours. In a losing battle, you stood up and declared that Dandy was the man you thought should move forward in the tournament. I applaud you for your conviction, and I can only say that you will forever have my gratitude. "As for my detractors, I too want to address you briefly and with decorum. All of you disgust me. You sit here in your ivory thrones, glad-handing each other as you have done for years. You claim you want a change, yet you are afraid to shift from what comforts you. It is easier to vote for Vitamin X, because you have done so in the past. What you sycophants fail to realize is that you will never rise up if you continue to back what holds you down. For this, I am saddened. I am saddened that you would not choose the common voice in this equation that you could thrust on your shoulders and shout, "DANDY, DANDY, DANDY!" Moreso, however, I am saddened that you remain in this state year after year, and when that one charismatic poster comes along, and he can rescue you from this repression and lead you to the promised land...you fail to move from what comforts you and stand by the new choice. "Like I stated earlier, my desire was to maintain a modicum of respect and handle my loss with dignity. I truly feel like I have accomplished this goal today. We are faced with defeat today, and it would appear that "DANDY in '08" has reached as far as it can go. However, I am not one that settles for things. I will not go quietly! I challenge each and every one of you to accept today's defeat as one small lost battle so that we may win the war! "DANDY in '08" shall continue to drive toward its dream. We must now focus ourselves toward coming out the victor in March's "WORST POSTER TOURNAMENT 2008." Raise up against your oppressors! Let your voices be heard! WHO IS WITH ME? Thank you!"

I hope he does a lot of twists or flips AFTER the contact was made with his opponent. Also, he better have a bunch of facial/body piercings in for his matches. He'll do fine by repeating "What's up?" over and over and over.

My concession speech will be posted by the end of the voting.

(stepping outside of the format to aqnswer half of Porter's question: The most overrated Super Bowl MVP was without a doubt Larry Brown. He didn't have to do anything fancy to have those interceptions thrown right to him.)
