Now we're getting close to the end, with only 16 shorts remaining. AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE and WHO DONE IT? are two past winners that have a chance to become the first two-time champion. The other 14 shorts are looking for their first MST win, 'cause we all know when Jules, Del, Charley, and Bernds directed these classics, a prestigious MST award is what they were striving for. To those who have voted so far, thank you very much. To those of you regulars who haven't.....you know who you are, and even I know who you are, so just vote already. You've seen the shorts, so all you gotta do is pick which short you like better from each pairing. Does that sound so difficult? No, I didn't think so. The MST's have become a Stooge board institution, and all the well liked and respected posters are doing it! Don't be bed wetting 30 year old from Michigan - VOTE!
Now, onto the business at hand. The results of the vote the short off the island round are in. You will see all 19 shorts involved listed, and the three shorts with the highest points are the ones eliminated and listed seperately from the surviving shorts.
