Contest #6: Finalists
Man, you people are good. This was the first week I laughed out loud at a few answers. There were some really smart slogans.
Like usual, I want to feature a few of the entries that didn’t make the finals but were nonetheless oh-so-good. They were: Dlawhon’s Vishnu, Tiago’s Prometheus, Smodaresi’s Hermes, Ian Randal Strock’s Eos, Paula’s Artemis, and Tyson22’s Atlas.
The finalists are well decorated in MM flair; they are made up of two returning champions, Brendan and Mrs. Sara (Mrs. Sara has a shot at an inconceivable back-to-back win), two users who both have had previous merch selections, Padma (whose merch we haven’t officially announced yet) and Bunny Slippers (who made the “Go Green…Do it on a leaf” design), and a first time finalist, Bebemiqui.
The polls will be up until 5pm EST on Sunday.

Humor is a very subjective thing. What makes one person laugh hysterically, another person won’t even chuckle at. That’s the way it goes. Try your hand at the weekly New Yorker caption contest. They get over 6,000 submissions a week and the only prize is a signed cartoon. And I personally, as well as many on the web, don’t find many of the winners funny; they are too obvious.

One could posit, that if it had, indeed, been WAY better, you would have received WAY more votes…..Just an opinion…
