THE NEW AGE CONTEST RESULTS

Many thanks to all who participated in The New Age contest. I never had so much fun reviewing contest entries. Hilarious.

To reiterate my admiration for you people:

When life hands you lemons, do you crumble?
No.

Do you blame everybody but yourself when things go wrong?
Nuh-uh.

When your team loses, do so many of you go shrieking to therapists about it, that a bullshit mental disorder is coined for your whiny ass?
Oh HELLS NO.

You spew black smoke into the atmosphere for about...oh, 48 hours, until the absurdity of whole thing sinks in. Setbacks happen.

And in a snap, you're over yourself.
Life handed you lemons. And this was your response:

CRAZY LEMON MARIONETTE THEATER
The Most Wonderful Things Are About To Happen!!11!1!!!

Keep in mind, these are the top ones you nominated, near as I can figure from the Nominations Thread. I culled some of the ones that didn't fit the format, etc.

I uh, did a lot of culling. There were many, many excellent nominees that kicked all kinds of ass, but in the end, these were the overwhelming favorites.

All selected the most by AOS commenters:

Thanks, guys. On to the fake awards:

Winners in the Famous People category will each receive an autographed photo of one of the most Famous People of all time, the great thespian, Ted McGinley.

Keep it in a safe place, that thing's gonna be worth a mint some day.

Inside Jokes winners, please wait patiently for the AOS courier to hand-deliver your very own bottle of Valu-Rite Vodka (other side of label says Valu-Rite Bug & Tar Remover, just ignore that, its a misprint).

Those who won the Everything Else category are in for an extra-special treat. Your winning entry will be hand-calligraphed on quality paper, then intricately folded by a highly-skilled origami artisan, to finally become one of these heirloom treasures.

Hey, hey, why the long faces, Other Nominees (aka 'losers')? Oh, well, Ace Of Spades HQ has a special parting gift for you too, don't fret.

Touch My Monkey!

Thanks to the crew at Innocent Bystanders for the award ideas, and to all who participated and made this the best AOS humor thread in recent memory.
