Well, the postings for the last of the month have been sporadic at best due to the AOL technical difficulties, but nevertheless, we must pick winners amongst those entries we were able to post, since, of course, most of you just absolutely LIVE for tokens (well, at least some of you do I imagine...)

First off, I start off with my picks for the "Quality" award for this week. I know someone complained about me picking based on quality on quantity, but the rules do say that some tokens will be awarded based on at least the former criteria (I haven't decided whether the latter criteria of quantity is really that great a thing - I mean, if someone sends a whole bunch of crappy entries, should that person be rewarded? The judges will return with the verdict after a couple more mugs of MGD...)

Anyway, the two "Quality" award winners in my mind over the last week or so are Kaziganthi and Kumantes, who each earn 11 tokens for their efforts (okay, I'm making the token awards random amounts as well - I mean, why should they always be evenly divisible by 5?)...No real explanation - that's what I think and damnit these two are getting 11 tokens, you got it? Samples of the work by our two winners are enclosed down below...


They're really bringing out all the warm and fuzzy movies for the holidays, like "Beavis and Butthead Do America" and "Mars Attacks!" (Kaziganthi)

Of course, to cheer you up there's always a heart-warming story about killing puppies to make clothing called "101 Dalmatians" (Kaziganthi)

I had to take a weight lifting class one, and as soon as I saw the big, 45 lb. weights they put on the bar that I was supposed to lift with my shoulders, I knew that my back was gonna snap like a twig. (Kaziganthi)

I'm trying to light a match with my fingernails. *Scratch* *Scratch* Hey cool! Ow my thumb! Godammit. It went out. *Scratch* *Scratch* (Kaziganthi)

If you find a guy with his head up his ass, he's probably just trying to see things from your point of view. (Kaziganthi)

People who live in glass houses are probably putting a little too much faith into these modern architects. (Kaziganthi)

I really should stop typing in entries. I'm starting to get a tan from the UV's that the monitor is putting out. (Kaziganthi)

Okay, I'll stay. Skin cancer can't be all that terrible, can it? (Kaziganthi)

Don't Speak! I know what you're thinking, and I don't need your reasons, 'cause I don't give a damn... No, nooo! Don't speak... (Kaziganthi)

I was looking back on some of my old entries, and I was kinda suprised at how many songs that I had quoted included the word "naked". Like "Naked and Famous" by the Presidents of the U.S.A. "Bittersweet Me" it says I'm tired and Naked during the lyrics, and of course "Naked Eye" by Luscious Jackson. They're all very cool, very naked songs. I think it's time to expand this trend of nudity to say, No Doubt's lead singer, Gwen Stefani. She doesn't have to sing about nudity, she can just illustrate it if she likes. It would also be nice if Shirley
Manson from Garbage and Courtney Love from Hole followed suit. After all, what could be more suggestive of nudity than a band named "Hole"? (Kaziganthi)

Next week I'm gonna surgically replace my natural head with a robot one. I can hardly wait to have a Cathode Ray Head! (Kaziganthi)

I think the only thing cooler than getting a cathode ray head would be to get a cathode ray butt. A 265 color, RGB butt. It would be appropriate, because most of what passes for TV is crap anyway. (Kaziganthi)

Christmas isn't about the birth of Christ! It's about ruthless capitalism and deep emotional scars inflicted at an early age. Merry Christmas. I hope you rot in Hell. (Kaziganthi)

I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry. You should not wait for Christmas to inflict emotional scars on impressionable children. Show your intense hatred of the world the whole year 'round. (Kaziganthi)

Can you put one of my sayings in the margin, like those other guys? (Kumantes)

Be prepared. Something very random is coming up. (I'm planning my randomness from now on) (Kumantes)

I ran out of room. AOL ruined my randomness. (Kumantes)

You have the worst job in the entire world. I'll make sure to send you a lot of entries because we don't know how long your position will last. (Kumantes)

Bic pens are the best kind of pen. Until they burst in your mouth. (Kumantes)

Happy holidays. (Kumantes)

I like dogs a lot but I like cats better because cats are quiet and take care of themselves and dogs dump on your rug and have to be trained and that because that's what I've always run into with dogs chewing up everything and making this mess and it's awful but I still don't hate them because I like all animals but cats are the best and birds if they're not caged so they can fly and
be free and that because it's terrible to cage up anything because how would you like to be locked up and trapped and not be able to mess around and stuff and be a person like animals can't be animals when they're caged up because it's not their real home like on this desert or in this jungle someplace so it's horrible not to be free like these people you see in pictures sometimes behind wire fences like animals and being kept there against their will without proper food and nutrition and they shrivel up and look like little reeds and have fear in their eyes and like you can't see something like that without thinking about how
we've got it made and we shouldn't be so much into ourselves and so mellowed out about the world and not care about people and the animals and all of that instead of cute clothes and making out and pizza while here are all these burnt out people without food or even TV and it's all too much of a downer to think about so I don't know why I even brought it up when all I wanted to say was that cats are cool. (Raini01)

I agree with Mr. Onliner...though he's been playing for longer than I have probably, I've been spending a bunch of my time doing this game in order to feel good about myself and get some tokens...I check every week and I don't get any yet you post a whole bunch of my entries up.....you should post who WINS and actually GETS tokens so we can find out exactly what it does take
to GET tokens....anyways...Merry Christmas (MissScully)

You know, I don't really want tokens. Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I realize that it would take me about 4 and a half years to be able to cash them in for a pair of boxers. And on top of everything else, they'd have to be mailed to me. I don't think I want the HOs to know where I live. (SMAC48)

Hello. I hope you randomly choose me for the random amount of tokens. (IsLnDBoyX)
