When I first started entering BBC contests, I never imagined I'd see the day when we'd be using Alpha, Bravo, etc. as poll designators. While it's nice to see that this contest is so popular, I'm probably not going to be able to vote in all the preliminaries, due to their sheer number and the restraints on my time. I'm privileged to be in the same poll as Bundaling's Ussal Twins and Seranikai's Mr. Shrimp (and their sluggies and miniature Ussals, respectively), which are a couple of great entries. It'll be interesting to see how that poll turns out.

Of course, no such entry is complete without a shameless bit of self-promotion, in the hopes that I can sway voters to, er, vote. For my entry.

Edit: I just realized that out of all the 316 entries, I'm the only one with a Hitchikery entry. I am sad. Also, a Thank You Award goes to Tufi and her minions for all the time spent cutting, pasting, hair-pulling, etc.
