Well... Stephan effort was a lot of funny, and, well, I consider the circunstances, and the response of Aaron is not very good, in my opinion... But well, I'm a mythology fan (as you can see by my name an avatar) and wendigo (I know what it was, and who it was, Ithaqua the windwalker, one of the Great Old Ones in Cthulhu mythos).

Its eyes are ice and indigo!
Its blood is rank and yellowish!
Its voice is hoarse and bellowish!
Its tentacles are slithery,
And scummy,
Slimy,
Leathery!
Its lips are hungry blubbery,
And smacky,
sucky,
rubbery!

(Frederic Ogden Nash)

So my vote goes to Aaron (Dead Machine).

Actually, I wasn't to fond of either. Stefan's was a lot of fun, and seems to be put together in 10 minutes. Aaron writes great lines of what seems nonsense to me, but then he cuts them up seemingly at random, removing any flow they might have had in the first place. I'm a rhythme whore, I think rhythme is essential in lyrics, and that's why I vote Stefan's. At least his were readable while having a clue how they should be pernounced.

So vote = Stefan

I vote Aaron.

The poem was rough, and the best part was the title, but it has promise. i think if you had used the metaphor of the 'modern wendigo' more it would have ruled. like comparing this wendigo thing to the grind of a 9 to 5 life or something else in the modern day that pisses you off would be cool. It was too vauge for me, but it did make me think, which is part of what poetry aims to do, so that was good. Pretty good all round though

Jeez. I'd prefer Stefan to be in the tournament, since I feel I'd have a better chance of winning (shut up), but Aaron's stuff was better, so I'm voting for him. Aaron it is.

Stefan, since i like teh funnay.

.:crast:.

I like them both, I can't choose so I'll vote for Aaron because Stefan isn't serious.

since when do yo take sth serious? :roll:

well my opinion: Aaron's first entry is not half as good as the one of Stefan but i really like his actual and serious entry.

Aaron it is..unless Stefan has a good one up his sleeve

I vote Aaron, dark humour ist krieg.
Congrats to Stefan, for conjuring up that thing on such short notice!

Aaron wrote a poem, not lyrics. Rhythm is unnecessary.

By saying that, you have made clear that you know nothing about poetry.

...he's published three books of poetry.

Then he should know that rhythm and cadance are vital to a poem.

Please take this argument to the Tournament 3 discussion thread. This thread is specifically for Voting and it's Aaron and Stefan's moment in the sun!

:cry: plz? :cry:

You'd be a lousy bouncer.

You can't threaten to knee someone in the face over the Internet without sounding like an idiot.

They must be fucking miserable reads...

I'm going with Dead Machine.

Voting over now, yeah? I'm getting all nervous waiting for my match...

Stefan gets my vote.
