Ken wanted me to remind everyone: "Just remember, Steve, no matter what happens, I win."
Amen, sir. Amen.
IT'S OVER! The votes have been tallied and tabulated - six votes is a modest number to have been tallied, but I thank everyone who chipped in and let their voices be heard this round and every round! Here's the final score ...
CHAMPIONSHIP: A6 (Ken - Underwear) def. D10 (Ken - Erin's Nametag Idea) 4-2
A worthy champion and a fantastic tournament - at least I thought so! Congratulations Ken on a very well deserved win. This away message had it all - pithiness, sharp and quick wit, smart and slightly off color humor without being crass. You hit the Aristotelian mean on the head right there, friend. This away message will one of the first away messages, if not the only one, enthroned in the Away Message Hall of Fame being built in the middle of a cornfield 30 miles west of Cedar Rapids, IA. Some voice told me if I built it, they'd come.
Okay, that's a lie - I'm still in negotiations with the voice on a site for the building - so for now we'll all have to be content with seeing it here one more time!
Once again, congratulations Ken! Now, please rise and gentlemen remove your caps to salute the 2008 AWAY MESSAGE BRACKET CHAMPION!!!
The Unmatched Wisdom of ... KEN!
On ... Underwear
