How To Vote

Let the voting commence!

First thing we're voting for is the winner of each category. Each voter gets one vote per category for a total of eight (8) votes per person in the first round. You don't have to vote for every category. We understand that it might be too tough to pick just one Lemmy.

What are the voting criteria, you may ask? Well, here are some guidelines, tips, and whatnots to help you get started.

Voting Guidelines:

1a. Vote early. It's a sprint, not a marathon.

1b. Take your time in contemplation. What's your hurry?

2a. Go with the sympathy vote. Mantasticness is about heart. If you feel it's more Mantastic to sport a chump beard than a full one, then vote for the underdog. Bravery is good.

2b. Screw that pathetic crap! Is it really Mantastic to vote with your pity gland? Vote for the thickest, bushiest beard in the bunch. Volume rules! A coward dies a thousand deaths, but a Mantastic beard will deflect bullets!

3a. Match the David. Michelangelo went to all that trouble. Vote for the beard that looks most like the ideal.

3b. Cast your ballot for individual interpretation. Just because some punk PhotoShopped some beard onto an old statue doesn't mean he knows diddly about beards. Vote for the contestant with the most style, or the one who photographs the best, or is the most ridiculous.

4. Every vote counts. Vote for your best friend, even if he can only grow 3 hairs on his face. Nepotism is fun!

5. Ignore these guidelines. One man's trash is another man's neckbeard.

More Prizes

Ok, we've officially lost our minds now. The Committee didn't feel that there were enough prizes so we went shopping today. We scored some really great deals and used our coupons and can now offer even bigger prize packages! What did we get? I'll tell you:

- The Very Best of Motorhead CD
- One (1) Molinari & Sons Half-Pound Dry Salame per category. Yes! Eight (8) salames to give away!
- Manowar's CD Warriors of the World - Special Limited Tour Edition Shape CD!

In addition to all of that, we've received one more donation: One (1) pack of Angry Scotsman Chewing Gum. "So minty fresh, it'll put the starch back in yer kilt!"

I'm exhausted.

Without Further Ado...

Our final Mantastic 2006 check-in was a wonderful affair, attended by local politicians, foreign dignitaries, local working girls, and rich socialites. A grand time was had by all. In the coming week, during the voting, I will be posting photos from this gala event, but for now, I give you...

Experiencing Technical Difficulties

You'll get your photos. I promise. For some reason, and the accompanying image here might give you a clue, I can't seem to get everything posted in the speedy manner that you're clamoring for. Let me make one thing clear, though: I hear you, I know you want the photos, and if I had a machete, I'd dismember every last one of you that's been bugging me since yesterday.

Thanks for your patience.
