PARANOIA!!!!! - Jeremy is a paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 6:02:53pm
Congrats Yair, Thomas, Timo, Frank and of course [[[[PL]]]]

And mucho gracias for the dbl reward. Mwah!

- HERTZ!!!!!! PARANOIA!!!!! [R] - [PL]TV HoD - 2006-08-09 6:04:45pm
  - Thanks Javi-ke. Much appreciated. Congrats to Thomas too!! [R] - [PL]TV HoD - 2006-08-09 6:05:38pm
    - I like the 50-51-52 chase. Still looking very good for Pigs though :) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-09 6:21:11pm
      - You got mail, Mr Host :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-09 6:48:13pm

Cheers, Javi!! :) Keeping alive my dream of a "much-coveted" top 10 - Pete D - 2006-08-09 6:03:34pm
& well done to my all-time fave ALC entry to getting some high points (tho won't say which one it is....)

Hertz in top 10!! - Yair - 2006-08-09 6:05:20pm
¿12 para mi? MUCHOS BESOS!!! :))))

And well done Timo!

Wow... thanks. \o/ [R] - Timoteus - 2006-08-09 6:07:00pm

and thanks for breaking my tie, Javi! :)

Well done Jeremy! At last your songs are on the move!! and Yair and Timoteus too [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-09 6:11:34pm
- Thx David...on the move :-)) [R] - Jeremy is a paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 6:13:41pm

I keep getting either high points or a total 0 ;-) - Jonas - 2006-08-09 6:24:01pm
Looking at who's left to vote, I'd say there's more people who are likely to give me 0 than high points... so Thomas, Luke, PL, Yair etc... you might win this! :)
- Youve got a big enough lead that a few 5's 6's will keep you in contention :-)) [R] - Jeremy is a paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 6:27:49pm
  - Well, we're just half-way or so... - Jonas - 2006-08-09 6:40:44pm
    And my lead really isn't that big :) Two more 0s in a row and it is probably gone :)
- You have a point there! But if you keep getting 12 points - orionas - 2006-08-09 6:28:10pm
  you can afford getting 0's!
  And WTG Jeremy. Hertz already in the top8!
  And congratulations Yair!
- You should made use of the numerous pigsty's around the continent to get behind the computer and vote for you... :-) [R] - [PL]TV HoD - 2006-08-09 6:28:11pm
  - You mean, join Jenny? ;-) [R] - Jeremy is a paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 6:29:08pm
  - *visions of thousands of Jenny demonstrating in european capitals scanting "Save Us"* [R] - Frank - 2006-08-09 6:32:23pm
- Yes, Rachel is going to give you zero, that's just so typically her! [R] - Yair - 2006-08-09 6:46:31pm
  - That's how we know her, yes! :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-09 6:53:10pm

Yay! A point :-) [R] - RogerF - 2006-08-09 6:32:04pm

  - The pigs are back into a comfortable sty... errr lead! :-) [R] - [PL]TV HoD - 2006-08-09 7:04:54pm
  - Congratulations Jonas. I guess the view from the top is great! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-09 7:08:13pm
    - I can't tell, there's an andorran pig's ass blocking my view... :-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-09 7:09:43pm
      - I know its ass is big but please let it live! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-09 7:10:44pm
        
        *starts to imagine how next year's ALC will look... and smell* [R] - [PL]TV HoD - 2006-08-09 7:11:51pm
        
        "ALC 2007 - Farma del Porc, Andorra" [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-09 7:29:19pm
      - LOL...great lead you got there :-) [R] - Jeremy - inflated paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 7:19:32pm
  - ;))) your welcome, it is well deserved! the line which swept me off was''When the butcher's in town''...:)) [R] - Kenny - 2006-08-10 9:45:45am
- Whoever you are, Kenny Raider, - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 7:03:12pm
  I'm sending you big kisses and some (virtual) home-made burek!
  - LOL , burek??? :))) [R] - Jelena - 2006-08-09 7:04:13pm
    - You got a problem with my home-made burek, Jelena? - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 7:06:48pm
      To be honest, the first time I tried to make it, it was a disaster. I'm getting better at it, though!
      - No, I was just surprised :)))) - Jelena - 2006-08-09 7:08:15pm
        Hope its not too greasy.
        And yogurt is obligatory with burek :)))
        
        Yeah, I'm learning how to make it less greasy, too! - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 7:11:34pm
        But filo dough is a bitch to work with, especially in my small kitchen. ;-)
        
        Well, If we get to host ESC and you come, will take you to have some burek!!! :)))) [R] - Jelena - 2006-08-09 7:12:48pm
        
        That's a deal, Jelena! [R] - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 7:14:31pm
        
        Indeed it is ! :)) [R] - Jelena - 2006-08-09 7:18:15pm
        
        Shit, now I'm going have to hope that Serbia doesn't win next year... - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 7:25:04pm
        or I'll go bankrupt!
        
        LOL! :))) - Jelena - 2006-08-09 7:29:18pm
        Well its Serbia or Turkey or Bosnia and Herzegovina :))
        Three places that you can find some fine burek :)))
        Turkey won once, so the odds are smaller, so your stucked with us or our neighbors :))) And it is not very expensive here :) Actually Gardian has quite interesting article on this small country ( think its yesterdays edition ) :)))
        
        I've never been to Serbia, or Bosnia for that matter... - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 7:32:29pm
        .. but I do love burek! Unfortunately, the Bosnian retaurant in this area uses cheap meat, so there's way too much gristle and fat.
        
        Might be worth paying for the airfare to get the real thing, huh?
        
        There are different kinds of burek: made with meat, with cheese, - Jelena - 2006-08-09 7:36:56pm
        mushrooms and of course, my favorite ( if not greasy ) is empty burek :)))
        Lets hope you'll have the oportunity to try the real thing :)))
        And, there are some other dishes to be discovered :))
  - hehehe...thanks! I prefer krompirusa (with potatoes) and I'll save it for later...for everything you bake:)) [R] - Kenny - 2006-08-10 9:51:45am
- HERTZ!!!!!! [R] - [PL]TV HoD - 2006-08-09 7:03:23pm

- Oh my God - I didn't get points from Kenny! - Yair - 2006-08-09 7:07:57pm
  You bastard!

  Oh and...
  
  LLAMA!!!

You are too good Nigel! - Harri - Finnish Schlager Swede - 2006-08-09 7:58:32pm

Harrow is away, but Laura Malice's votes are up! - ALC Informer - 2006-08-09 8:00:30pm

  Which rhymes with "crap." Right, Niall?

- thank you Miss Malice! :) [R] - RogerF - 2006-08-09 11:40:04pm

Since the ALC finalists' comments on their own entries never made it to the revelation show
Posted by Richard_CT on 2006-08-09 8:44:16pm

I'll go first. Here's what I wrote...

"Everything (The Culinary Remix): I was flabbergasted that this one qualified for the final! It took me one hour to write the first draft and a few more hours to finish it. I think this is by far the weaker of my two entries this year, but I'm still grateful to everyone who voted for it!"

Anyone else want to share their comments?

I think I just said - Frank - 2006-08-09 8:46:58pm
Dopeheads :)
- Wow! Short and sweet! I'll remember that next year... if I make the final, of course! [R] - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 8:49:57pm

Mine was - Jeremy - inflated paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 8:49:47pm
"I Knew It"

(told Harrow to apply to all entries)
- Ah, that's cheating, Jeremy! [R] - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 8:50:52pm
- LOL! Clever! :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-09 8:58:55pm

Mine was: - [PL]TV HoD - 2006-08-09 8:52:04pm
Reaction to The Tasty Moussaka:
We were over the moon, here at [PL]TV and we even corked a whole bottle of champagne!
You might want to know that given The Tasty Moussaka's success, [PL]TV is planning to do a theatre-show, with Michael Flatley in the lead role as the eggplant.
So keep watching [PL]TV for more culinary delights!
- I like the idea of that eggplant Flatley hosting! Go Moussaka :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-09 9:00:15pm

sure :-)) LOL - euroUSA - 2006-08-09 8:54:22pm
"Not a Mr.Nobody: i didn't expect this in million years to qualify, not a chance, but still puzzled a bit that got big fat 0. Lyrics actually fit the melody and original (at least when i tried to sing to it), i even used Yair's tips. i thought it was a funny outlook at contemporary event, i guess i would do better had i stuck to the original plan of doing something dirty and vulgar ;-). well, nothing to be upset about, it was only a game, i won't commit suicide or get emotionaly disturbed about it. see you next year :-)"
- If it's any consolation, Alex... - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 8:58:31pm
  I very nearly gave you one point.
  - LOL! You bugger :-) [R] - Jeremy - inflated paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 8:59:22pm
  - don't worry. you can still make it up. - euroUSA - 2006-08-09 9:01:14pm
    give me a keys to your bf's condo in fort lauderdale for one weekend in the winter :-))
    - LOL! All that for one point? [R] - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 9:02:46pm
      - is that too much Richard? i would even promisse not to bring anyone to his condo :-)) [R] - euroUSA - 2006-08-09 9:33:11pm

Mine were... - Nick D. - 2006-08-09 9:00:02pm
TOTAL PLAGIAT - "It's no coincidence that bits seem a bit rough and
unfinished, though I always thought it had potential to go big. I was
planning to sit on it for another year and put it in ALC 2007 with some 2006
references added, but when I withdrew Carolasong near the closing date due
to angel-chiara worries, this was the only thing I had that looked like a
better bet. Apologies to all those whose original work I ripped off (including my own... ain't I a stinker?), and thanks to those who voted for it!"

HARROW HARROW - "A really pleasant surprise to see this make the final. I
didn't imagine that fishing this blatantly would ever work so well!
Something tells me that what points it got are more for the subject than for
the song though... :-)"
- As far as I'm concerned you got what you deserved and nothing more! - [PL]TV HoD - 2006-08-09 9:03:04pm
  :-)
- no the song fitted with the lyric quite well that's why it got my 12 :-) [R] - Niall@work! - 2006-08-09 9:35:36pm

Hmm, aren't these supposed to be published in the results-show maybe? :-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-09 9:03:56pm
- The e-mail I got didn't say anything about keeping my comments secret until after the final - Richard_CT - 2006-08-09 9:11:59pm
  ... Dan, I'm sorry if I've spoiled part of the fun here!
  - Michael Flatley IS... - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-09 9:12:53pm
    ...the EGGPLANT!!!
  - No worry, we'll just make up new ones then :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-09 9:24:18pm
- No, not at all :) I just ran out of time to put them on the finalist revelation show, cos of my disorganisednessity :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-09 11:40:22pm

- There is just so much love it or hate it stuff in this contest, it's incredibly hard to predict. - Nick D. - 2006-08-09 9:10:45pm
  There's one particular song that's doing very well that I just don't get at all - though it's obviously got plenty in its favour!
  - Bacon and spareribs, mainly... :-) [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-09 9:11:34pm

Congrats Nick, the douze-ieth douze is yours!! [R] - Frank - 2006-08-09 9:07:59pm

Many thanks for the votes Niall - I prayed for 20 points to keep me in top 10 tonight - and you and Harri obliged, Mwah! [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-09 9:08:40pm
- Congrats David! Great entry :)) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-09 9:14:42pm
  - Thanks, glad you liked it! Maybe there is a place at ALC for non-humerous songs? [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-09 9:27:02pm
    - If they are all like yours then there is a place for them! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-09 9:29:57pm
    - Sure there is. There's a place for all well-written songs, imo. [R] - Frank - 2006-08-09 9:37:33pm

Go Roger and Fulingen! ;)) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-09 9:13:48pm

I think those were the most no-mainstream votes till now! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-09 9:15:38pm
- it's called good taste :o) [R] - Niall@work! - 2006-08-09 9:19:04pm
  - Oh! i forgot to congratulate you for your Soulless entry! - orionas - 2006-08-09 9:22:11pm
    Really good and you'll understand how much i liked it when you see how many points i gave you!
    - all 47 was it?? [R] - Niall@work! - 2006-08-09 9:24:26pm
      - No but a big percentage of it! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-09 9:26:30pm

Thank you, darling, very generous. And a hug and a kiss to Javi, too! [R] - Thomas Moooooo-ssaka! - 2006-08-09 11:06:50pm

Big thanks to Waterford :-) [R] - RogerF - 2006-08-09 11:38:49pm
- it was the entry that got me laughing the most in fact but lost marks in other areas.....if it was a funniest song vote - Niall@work! - 2006-08-10 11:49:00am
  it would have been 12! :)

So, 24 points is a very respectable lead, if you ask me... :-) Should we make room in Andorra's national pigsty already? - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-09 9:11:03pm
- EL CONTEST ALTERNATO is looking like a real possibility, and no objections from me if it happens! [R] - Nick D. - 2006-08-09 9:14:26pm
- It is, but I think it's still early to say so :) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-09 9:15:29pm
- I think the real battle will be to squeeze into the top 10 pigpen [R] - Jeremy - inflated paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 9:16:55pm
  - Looking at the bottom four right now, it might be an idea to keep out of *that* pigpen! [R] - Nick D. - 2006-08-09 9:18:12pm
    - Yes, it's a bit weird - Frank - 2006-08-09 9:57:22pm
      7 direct-qualifiers in the bottom 10 (so far!!). I thought most were well-written though, which seems confirmed by the fact that most also have an other entry that does very well.
      - And I'm at the lowest of the qualifiers :-/ [R] - Jeremy - inflated paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 10:01:46pm
        
        There there, things will get better! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-09 10:15:15pm
        
        and also have one that's reaching for higher things! - Frank - 2006-08-09 11:09:05pm
        That rented car of yours hasn't broken down yet, I'm sure! :)
        
        I'm loving and grateful for it all, and if you keep up a dbl presence in the top10 I won't need to be in it to - Jeremy - inflated paranoid pig - 2006-08-09 11:30:58pm
        have a chance to qualify for next yrs final
        
        :-))
        
        You have proven that you can qualify with ease - Frank - 2006-08-09 11:52:15pm
        and rightfully so! :)
- 24 points is indeed a really good lead for Jonas. things good look for the pigs! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-09 9:18:23pm
- It's also the one with the most constant following. Jenny better warns her family :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-09 9:20:06pm
- Not a very safe place for pigs though is it? I think we should all go to Saudi Arabia :)) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-09 9:25:56pm
  - So long as the petrol's cheap and in plentiful supply, I'm in :-) [R] - Nick D. - 2006-08-10 12:15:04am
    - So am I. Women aren't allowed behind a steering wheel there :)) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-10 12:17:55am

ALC - well, there are still many votes still to come. Probably roughly all of top 12 still have chance to win, no? :) - Josef - 2006-08-10 9:23:02am
- Ahem...don't you mean top 13 ;) [R] - Pete D - 2006-08-10 10:09:11am

- And thanks on Nick's behalf for my 8 points :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-10 5:06:29pm
  - Thanks - that frees me up to thank him for the equally welcome two points for Plagiat! - Nick D. - 2006-08-10 5:08:46pm
    I was starting to think it was going to be 12s, 10s, 8s or 0s all the way for that one!
- I know what happens next but i won't tell!!! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-10 5:06:42pm
  - I think I know... :-)) [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-10 5:17:06pm
    - Harrow knows for sure! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-10 5:19:41pm
- Hmm. The first voter to... - Timoteus - 2006-08-10 5:07:32pm
  ...not give any points to any of the automatic finalists.
  
  *sulks* Were we really that bad? :-(
  
  ;-)
  
  Congrats to Nick, Thomas and PL.
  - LOL....interesting indeed [R] - Jeremy - inflated paranoid pig - 2006-08-10 5:08:22pm
  - Hmm.. Lost in the semi and didn't bother to read the direct finalists? :-) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-10 5:58:22pm
    - That crossed my mind... - Timoteus - 2006-08-10 6:04:01pm
      ...but I didn't dare to say it aloud. %-) I hope that's not the case anyway.
- MOUSSAKA!! :-))) congrats, Polleke!:-) [R] - Ben NL - 2006-08-10 5:07:58pm

  - You are welcome! - orionas - 2006-08-10 6:06:55pm
    You should know there was a huge fight for my 10 points among Hertz and Mucky Puppy. At the begining i had given you 10 points bu then i changed it. it was really difficult to decide! Sorry for the minus 2 points!
    - It should be interesting to follow HERTZ' rise - If you look at it from the beginning it gets little points - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-10 6:08:37pm
      But now it's a steady scorer!
- woohoo!! - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-10 6:01:59pm
  HERTZ!! PARANOIA!!
  
  And a big congrats to Jonas' Pigs! 34points lead!

    - Even without my help/points! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-10 6:09:59pm
      - Yes, but you cheer, which is a big thing anyway!! :-)) [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-10 6:12:18pm
    - Yeah, it must have been the drizzles of olive oil! :-) [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-10 6:12:37pm
      - Or cheese ;-)) [R] - suomigirl - 2006-08-10 6:13:32pm
        
        And remember: Norway desperately wants you to come, but as long as they can't afford to lower their prices... - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-10 6:20:03pm
        ...they can't afford you! :-)
        
        LOL,that is one way to think of it ;) [R] - suomigirl - 2006-08-10 6:22:07pm
- HERTZ! PIGS! And efharisto poli :))) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-10 6:02:02pm

    - LOL, Marian Van Der Val is lurking behind every bush if you are not careful [R] - suomigirl - 2006-08-10 6:15:17pm
      - Really? Yikes! - Timoteus - 2006-08-10 6:16:50pm
        Now I understand what Teräsbetoni's recent hit "Älä mene metsään" is about.

    The vast majority of the others is horrible!
  - You didn't say anything like that about my voting pic :( [R] - Thomas Moooooo-ssaka! - 2006-08-10 6:44:06pm
    - You voted??? Oh I've lost track ....... [R] - Niall@work! - 2006-08-10 7:05:08pm

  - You are welcome! Your entry was really nice and unique! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-10 7:24:29pm
    - How sweet! But your sex in a van with a water polo playing whore was quite unique too :) [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-10 7:29:27pm
      - You could say that! But most of all I'm satisfied that there was some talking about my entries! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-10 7:41:43pm

Ade...

Oops! I was just looking back through the ALC threads and discovered that I forgot to thank you for the four points! So thank you!

I never thanked him for the 10 points either. - Timoteus - 2006-08-10 6:27:04pm

So thank you, Ade!

Posted by [PL]TV HERTZoD on 2006-08-10 7:16:53pm

The shock must have been to big...

Hehe, you're probably right!! [R] - Elin - 2006-08-10 7:17:37pm

Jeremy is coming up on the rails! Can he win BFC and ALC in the same year? [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-10 7:24:28pm
- He could do the treble if someone enters his picture in the Hottie Contest!! [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-10 7:26:52pm
  - LOL, he is not very smart guy, isn't he?! - euroUSA - 2006-08-10 7:30:17pm
    he could have sex every day if he drops his heterosexuality and switch the teams :-)))))
    - think again :))))) [R] - Jelena - 2006-08-10 7:31:41pm
    - That's no use to him now. He has to host (at least) BFC. - Frank - 2006-08-10 7:31:45pm
      Remember poor Lobo wasting away, chained to his PC :))
  - MB'ers are not allowed suely? that'd be a very unfair advantage....... - Niall@work! - 2006-08-10 7:31:26pm
    it would already be assured of my 12 !! :o)
    
    well maybe it depends there are other MB'ers who may also got a 12 from me! haha (in that area)

Nice one Jer! :-))) [R] - Luke - 2006-08-10 7:43:50pm

- It impresses me that you took it really well we didn't give you any points! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-10 7:47:41pm
  - Look, I'm consistent - I get to hate lots of nationalities during this. Don't take it personally! :-))) [R] - Luke - 2006-08-10 7:51:17pm
    - Oh i don't! Why should i? It's just ALC! After all you have a point for hating us! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-10 7:53:04pm
      - Exactly! I just believe in getting my poison out of my system quickly! ;-))) [R] - Luke - 2006-08-10 7:54:53pm
