Voting Thread: 2014 Today's Toons Favorites (Preliminary Round)
« on: January 04, 2015, 02:05:00 pm »
Here it is...the 5th annual Today's Toons favorites. I'd like to publicly thank TED, musicman & Chickadee for helping me with some/all of the monthly voting. Via these ballots, we tallied the selections (15/month) which received the most votes. Those monthly selections make up this preliminary round. Right now, there are 4 of us here who vote on a regular basis; if you'd like to help for 2015, send me a private message & I'll tell you what would be involved.
 
There are some "rules" here, but not many. When selecting your favorites, use your own criteria. Some like funny, clever, pithy, touching, etc. Some like cartoons, photoshops, animations, etc. So, judge each entry unto itself. As the one who adds click-on audios, videos, pics, toons, satirical stories, etc., to existing entries, I judge these to be part of that entry as a whole...you, of course, can ignore that if you wish...but only at your own peril  ;-)
 
Each entry is numbered (1-181). Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to send me (via comment in this thread/private message) the numbers,
in any order, of your 30 (or fewer) favorites. If you are caught sending more than 30, I won't disavow your existence, but will ask you to remove any excess. This offer will self-destruct at 2 PM ET, Sunday, Jan. 11, 2015. Good luck!

If certain pics/toons don't download (even after a refresh/reload), send me their numbers (which will show up) & I'll try to help. My plan is to post the 30 (plus ties) finalists in a new thread on 1/11/15 or 1/12/15 (I suggest that dial-up users wait for this round). The results of this final vote will be posted on 1/19/15. The decision of the judge (Today's Toons editor-in-chief) is final! Questions? Bring it on! And now, on with the show!!

#58 is the hands down winner in my book!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Thanks for voting, Bigun! That may be the eventual winner in your book, but this is just the preliminary round in which you still have up to 29 selections remaining...should you decide to use them...

Hi Pookie!  Not in Texas this year so I am able to access the yearly tunes on my PC instead of my cell phone.  I guess there is at least one upside to staying in the Northeast (although the downside is going to be very apparent in the next few days).  Anyway, here are my picks:

22,27,35, 39, 51, 58, 65 81, 95, 96, 102, 116, 127, 134, 138, 139, 151, 153, 156, 163, 165, 171
