Week 29 winner!


Aaaaaand the (first time!) winner this week is Stupid Guest Tricks member and master of all Disney knowledge Zazu! Congratulations – although I have to say that his winning entry, while funny, isn’t really accurate. We VM guys, we ALL look good in rhinestones!

Honorable Mentions: YANXWIN: "And with that, the cloning experiments have ended; proving that making a copy of a copy of a copy gives you a marsupial."; Alan AJ Irby: "Well known phases in the life of Elvis Presley: 50's rock-and-roll pioneer look, 60's movie icon look, 69 comeback special look, 70's Vegas look. Lesser known phase: choral-lawyer look.”; Lisa Lavelle: “With this picture, Becky finally figured out what happened to her missing Bedazzler.....”; and Judy Clancy: “Let the Jeff Oxley impersonations begin!” (Jeff is multi-gold medal-winning bass, VM’s Musical Director, and he does a great Elvis impersonation, sometimes on VM shows.) 

Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!

Week 28 winner!



Sorry for the delayed results – that comes with a lengthy wait at the DPS office. But lots of funny this time around! This week’s prize (yeah, still no prize) goes to Stupid Guest Tricks member hhsrat – love this reference to the Vocal Majority’s director – or his son, who is also a VM director, so it works either way!

Honorable Mentions: Don Kistler: "The Westminster Chorus didn't win??? Ok, I'll come down then."; Kevin Kavanagh: "Wombat was confused when they asked him at the competition how high he could sing.” (Yes, extremely close to the winning entry, and both posted, in different forums, at exactly the same time! “Great minds” and all that…); Patrick Stayton: “Rapture rehearsal: Day 2”; Lisa Lavelle: (singing) "I'm on the top of the world, lookin’ - down on creation...."; and Alan AJ Irby: “Good: defying death and having unique life experiences. Bad: having to dress up like Sue Sylvester from Glee to do so.” 

Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!

Run out and get us CHEESESTEAKS!!!!!”; and PatchOBlack (from Stupid Guest Tricks): “Despite his best efforts, he couldn't get ‘pizza’ listed as one of the inalienable rights....”
