Topic: Paul Pain's Stooge Short Tournament - Final 4/Championship Round

[Paul Pain]

Here we go!  Pick your favorite short from each pair (or triplet)!  The ones with most votes advance to the Final 4.  For your benefit, I have linked the discussion to each respective short from metaldams' reviews.   These are seeded in order by ThreeStooges.net ratings.    If we have enough fun with this, maybe we can push these brackets long enough to achieve an order of 1-190 by these methods? 

Edit: in case of a tie, both shorts advance, and there will be three shorts squaring off based on where the lower ranked short would have been.

To make things more difficult for us, I have decided to declare this the championship round, and, make it be a basic poll.  And, oy vey, what difficult choices!  The votes will be hidden until after the poll closes.  Choose wisely!

Paul, I'm seeing the vote tally.

Paul, I'm seeing the vote tally.

Should be fixed

I still see the results, but I don't know if that's because I'm a moderator.

I don't see them, so it probably is since you're a moderator.

Power to the mods!

And we have a tie... since we had a tie, I am going to do this one in the way Metaldams would... choose your two favorites from the lot... any pair will do, and it will count as a singular vote for each of the shorts...

1 THREE LITTLE BEERS
5 THREE ARABIAN NUTS
8 HOI POLLOI
18 AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE

[Paul Pain]

My choices:
5 THREE ARABIAN NUTS
18 AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE

[Umbrella Sam]

My choices:
THREE ARABIAN NUTS
AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE

So, basically just count your vote twice, Paul.

Keaton review coming in next few days.  May just bust out two reviews this weekend since I think I'll actually be free this weekend for the first time in a while!  Ah, to not be tied down to when I review.

I completely agree. I'm surprised that it has already gotten out.

A proven winner 

[metaldams]

This is the second or third time AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE has won one of these things.  I'm sensing a trend here.

[Paul Pain]

I can only see the most recent one, as the tournaments before it were on the now-deceased C3 forum

[Percy Pomeroy]

I enjoyed the preliminary round the most. It was fun picking out which short sucked the least.

Also, thanks to Paul Payne (no it's Pain!!!) for taking the time to do this.
