*suspense*

It's grime time.

And as if by magic... I now look like a "moran".

The suspense is terrible...I hope it'll last...

To hell with customer service. by lukket 8-12-03

Granny Smith goes to file a complaint. Would you mind turning down the heat. It's mighty hot in here, young man. I tend to get ill in heat. YOU ARE BURNING FOR YOUR SINS. THERE WILL BE NO REMORSE! TAKE HER TO THE SAUNA! I think you're being to harsh! You should be more customer friendly. But this is Hell and I'm Satan. It's supposed to work that way. I understand. But it's your attitude that gives Hell a bad name.

Meet Wellington, Wellington McNocock by Rabid_Weasle 12-07-03

I'm so depressed! My girlfriend broke up with me, on my birthday! Man, that's cold. But hey, it could be worse. How!? You could be Wellington McNocock. Hey there handsome, fancy a shag? I apologize my dear, but that just isn't in the cards.

Filing Clerk, VIP by mmyers 6-25-03

Boy, it's freezing in here. I'm right under the vent and it's blowing cold air right on me. I didn't bring my jacket today. I wish someone would turn off the air. It's an icebox. You could hang meat. Sometimes I wish I could turn your air off. Your air conditioning, I mean.

E! True Hollywood Story: Super Mario (3) by mmyers 10-23-03

And from that, Mario, for the next 22 years of your life, you've been doing an adventure of some sort, rescuing a princess, gambling, even driving a go-cart. Yesa. It's been a full-a life. In all that time, Mario, any regrets? Ever wished you'd started a family? Retired? I'lla admita, some-a-times it getsa little lonely, you knowa? Too quieta around tha housea? Sometimes I wished I'da spend lessa time being Super and more timea being Mario. *sob**sob* Maybe we should take a commercial break while Super Mario pulls himself back together. No, it'sa OK. Sometimes it's jussa hard being a plumbinga-adventuring-goa-cart drivera. Something gotta give, you know?

No Mr.Boss, I expect you to take a drop. by smamurai 10-21-03

Get a move on Cindy, I dont want to be late for my tee-off with Dr. Poppers. PICK UP THE BAG, DONT DRAG IT WOMAN. Ahhhh! Mr. James Boss, we have been expecting you. Dr. Poppers! Care to tell me about your plans for worldwide distribution? All in good time Mr.Boss. But first, let us play a game. Say, that's a stunning filly you have caddying for you Dr.Poppers. Mind if I have a crack at her? Be my guest Mr.Boss, ha ha ha good luck though, she is a feisty man-hater. I had the hardest time getting her to caddie top-less.

Convertible School Bus: Hairy Muffler by smamurai 12-11-03

We haven't seen that crazy dog for a while have we? You know, the one that always chases after the bus? I've seen bits of him. WHAT? He finally managed to catch up with the bus earlier in the week. How do you know that? His nose is still stuck in the exhaust pipe.

Why The Tech Guys Love Me by choadwarrior 8-18-03

Your former secretary sent me over here to get her old monitor. Why? She says she likes it better than the one she has in her new department, even though they're identical. Knowing her, its probably the picture of the cow she had on her desktop. Is she really that clueless? Totally. Just give her a mirror--she'll never know the difference.

Please continue to vote. If you got here late and still want to submit a strip, post it up here yourself, as I'll be AFK for at least a week.

This pretty much concludes this thread, so I'd like to thank choadwarrior, whose idea this was - I hope I've done it justice. Now all we need to do is organise an after-party...

Well, the slight voter turn out is all the better for me because I won several catergories. Yeah. Congrats to all the other winners, thanks to jes for organizing this thing, and I'm real proud to be in the class of 2003. SENIORS RULE!

It's grime time.

Wow, mmyers walked all over us. Not that he didn't deserve it, he's teh funny.

This was fun, good idea choad.

---
Poop.

When I asked Jes to run the contest, I predicted in the last sentence that mmyers would be the overall winner. Of course, mmyers told me he thought I would win it all.

Thanks again to all who played and voted, and especially to jes who moderated the whole thing so I wouldnt create a contest specifically for me to run away with.
