Okay, I did a little investigation into the sad situation caused by our collective inability to count, and here's where we stand:

• There are no contests numbered 501 through 522.


• The most recent contest was numbered 549, which is as correct as anything, but contests numbered 550 through 570 have already been run.


• A contest dually numbered 523/573 was run, as was one numbered 577.

So I've decided to pick up the numbering at 571, and let future judges worry about whether to repeat or skip 573 and 577.

Now, as to the rules.

As many of you know, our beloved webmaster Brad has another project that involves him being a one-man band called "Brad Sucks".  In this contest, we pay tribute to that project.  Don't worry; you don't have to be a fan.

In this contest, your comics must contain the name of, or a line from, a Brad Sucks song in the narration or dialogue.  But you can't just drop the word "overreacting" in and call it a day.  You have to use at least one phrase that's at least four words long, or at least two phrases that are each at least two words long.

Here's Brad's discography, which should be a pretty comprehensive list of song titles.  And here are the results of a site search for the word "lyrics".  Of course, another way to find some lyrics would be to listen to some songs.  (I'm willing to be lenient about misheard lyrics.)

If you use lyrics, mention which song they're from in your forum post.  I may be a fan, but I'm not a wiki.

We'll give this about a week.  Have fun!

This is not an entry, but it is a true story:

A year or so ago, I was in a coffee shop and "Making Me Nervous" came on while my friend and I were waiting for our drinks.  I got all excited about the song and my friend said, "yeah, it's by Brad Sucks, I have it on my ipod," which surprised me even more.

The point is, listen to his damn music!

You should always watch the credits!

That wasn't even from porn, spotted it on Day of the Triffids (2009 version).

Anyway I don't have an entry, but I did use the Brad Sucks banner in the last background I drew :)

(Sick as a Dog is a song from 2003's I Don't Know What I'm Doing.)

I thought this was going to be a pretty easy contest to write for, but I guess I was wrong.  Anyway, we'll give it another day or so.  Hurry up and slap something together if you don't want bigworm to win by default.

Cell 1 has two underlined song titles found in the 'Music' portion of the Brad Sucks website.

P.S. I can hardly wait to win by default. Just another day or two, and the win is MINE, ALL MINE!!! 

Default is fine,

If the win is mine!

The rest of you will be relegated to drinking wine,

Or sticking your heads in brine,

Or killing big moles with a piece of twine,

Or any number of other neat things that you're gwine

To have to do 'cus "OH BOY", the default win is MINE!

This can't be called counting my chickens before they've hatched because I don't don't have any eggs to get any chickens from in the first place. Mwa ha ha ha... Mwaaa ha ha ha!!!

C'mon you guys! You've got to enter this contest! Don't let me win by default! I mean, if you want to let me win by default, then okay, I guess I'll have to live with it... bummer.

Okay, time to make a decision.  For a while "Guess Who's a Mess" was the clear front-runner.  But then bigworm came along and demolished its lead with "I suspect he's missing a rib or two".  So, congratulations, bigworm; you are the winner of CC571!

Remember, the next contest will be #572.  Don't just make up your own number.  That's not how we do things around here.

I'm pleased I was able to beat myself out of the win, and I will be back at some point to post a new CC. 

Thanks.
