MOFO'S SECOND ANNUAL OSCAR PREDICTIONS! (Post entries here)

[Mofo]

That's right. Check out my predictions below, or on the strip for March 17, 2002 and post your own predictions here. The person with the most number of right predictions wins a set of Warp 9 buttons and an original sketch. The second and third runners-up get buttons. If you leave out a category, it counts as a strike against a correct prediction of yours, so be sure to post a prediction for each one.

This thread will be locked just before the Academy Awards pre-show begins, so get them in before then.

[Mofo]

It's getting near to Oscar hour, so I've got to shut this baby down. Thanks to all who entered and good luck!

[Eeg]

well, my frenzy for the buttons was such that I actually counted, you know, to spare mofo and all, I should get something for that, the results are:

india ink: 13 -congrats mate, though fuck-
mofo - 12
kat - 10
violentmae - 10
myself - 10
182 - 6
Del09 - 6
Refused - 6

shit, I really want buttons, I mean, without that there's nothing left but ramen noodles and self-nipple rubbing.

[Violentmae]

So, does that mean Kat and I don't get buttons? We are second runners up, if you don't count Mofo and if you do we're third. Or is it because Mofo got second, there is no third runner up?!? Now I'm confused.

[Kat450]

ooh, I'd like some buttons. And I don't think Mofo should count since he's already got buttons.

Incidentaly, did anyone catch the Cirque De Soleil? I looooved it. Better than Whoopi, even.

[India_Ink]

Awww yeah.

[Eeg]

well, i know i didn't get nothing, which sucks, but well, life's a bitch and then you die.

and these threads should show the most recent entries in the first page.

[Apathyburn]

i want a button just for being so supportive of you guys and getting so many people to read your strip, even though you haven't been holding up your end of the bargian by updating on a regular basis. =P

but i still love my chris and bunny anyways.

[Kat450]

so, uh, now what? Do we like sit and wait until everyone's figured out and then get buttons, or what? Sure is taking a while...*hint hint*
As if that wasn't obvious.

[Mofo]

Sorry, guys. I've been in the middle of a move, and things have settled down now. (Which means that I now have access to a live phone-line.) And you know what? Because I'm either such a nice guy or such a jerk, I'm gonna give everybody who entered a button. The top three folks, not counting myself (even though I whooped two of yours' asses) get three buttons and an original sketch.

Send your addresses, if you're brave enough, to thosebastards@warp9tohell.com, along with whatever ideas you have for your sketches (for those three lucky winners), and I'll be sending those goodies away shortly.

(Along with your long-awaited giant envelope of Warp 9 crap, Jen!)

PS: Good Oscaring, folks.

Mofo.
