You! Me! Milkshakes!

Please vote for your bestest letter in January.
The closing date for all the votes is January 18th.

1. IS THERE AN EMO ABOUT?

The Department of Animal Control would like to note that several emos have escaped into the area. Do not be alarmed, these creatures will not cause any harm. If you see an emo, do not approach it, as it will break into uncontrollable weeping. As it does with everything. Simply call the DAC, and we will take it to a suitably terrible band.

Thanks for the warning. Readers beware!

2. LORD SEBASTIAN FLYTE Pete Burns is obviously an alpha male. Anyone who thinks otherwise has breasts like spaniel's ears and is primitive beyond belief. Are you educated enough to pass judgement?

3. WILLIAM, IT WAS NOTHING.

I would ode the man Shatner if I could write poetry. His lyrical prowess, his soothing singing voice, his fugitive stare. If life is bad, well, just when you think it can't get any worse, Shatner turns up. That's the kind of great man he is. Shatner. An ode. For common. People. In the sky. With Lucy.

Elden Ray.

4. AN ODE TO THE NORTH

I have written a little poem about my beloved county of Yorkshire.
Yorkshiremen,
Yorkshiremen,
Strong in t'arm
Thick in t'head.

Broccoli the Evil One

You better watch your back, Broccoli the Evil One- those Yorkshiremen will be after you!

Please vote!

Stand and Deliver!!

Did anyone get a chance to nominate? Or did i miss it?
What's the point choosing the best letter if you don't get a chance to make your own choice?
Sorry, if i've missed the point, but if this is the case then it makes the whole 'saturday showcase' worthless.

apparently the big pink bastard is me

It was always the people who ran ML plus anyone else who could be bothered who nominated, if I remember correctly.

Filled with existential dread and toast.

I aim to misbehave

Those were the best letters from January anyway. It was a slow month so those 4 good letters were automatically nominated. So quit your whingin'!

Mal: Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
Zoë: Big damn heroes, sir.
Mal: Ain't we just.

It hurts too much not to try.
