BoTB Results and Some Snark

It's December 9. Two days ago you expected results from Battle of the Bands. Disappointment set in when you realized it was not to be. I'd like to think to that it mirrored the faces at Hillary Clinton's campaign hall the night of the election, but let's face it... only 15 of you voted in this battle, so to be fair and honest (that is what we are about HERE), you probably only just now even noticed that I hadn't posted the results. Furthermore, you only mildly care about the results. You came. You listened. You punched your ticket. It's Christmas. You're busy for crying out loud. Gifts to buy. Food to eat. Possibly some rioting in the streets and maybe some electors you need to send death threats to over email. I get it. We all have things to do. Tis the season.* Moving on...

 *I was trying to channel Bryan over at A Beer For The Shower and tap into my funny side. Did it work? If I could draw, I would've created what I'm certain is comical genius brought to life for your enjoyment. But, alas, I cannot. So, I moved on.

Okay, the results. This was a close battle. The song was Christmastime Is Here. The contenders were Michael W. Smith (and Vince Gill) versus MercyMe. The voting was close. There was a period at the beginning when I thought that MercyMe was going to run away with it, but then MWS/VG came back. But then the scales tipped MercyMe's way again and it finished like this:

Michael W. Smith with Vince Gill: 6
MercyMe: 10 (including mine)

Congratulations MercyMe!

I'm planning on making a serious attempt at writing a post for Monday letting you know about a wonderful new development with regard to my migraines (and thus my overall health). I'm over a week into it.... and well, let's just say that I am shocked. And hopeful. Seriously hopeful.

    !5 people? That's a better turn out than a Hillary campaign rally...

      Good point. Of course, they did have choices to make. Do I pay to attend this or get paid to protest a Trump rally? Decisions. Decisions.

    Hi, Robin. I'm thinking about you. I've been negligent. Sorry. But I'm very happy and hopeful for you regarding the new health development.

    May the season keep offering progress and promise.

    So you used the popular vote to determine the winner? Interesting.
    Sounds like good news regarding the migraines-woohoo!

      Only because I don't have an electoral college system in place. When the day comes that this thing gets big enough, I'm down with it.

    GIRL WONDER ~
    I support the Electoral College that our brilliant Founding Fathers established. But I suppose I should confess that the ONLY REASON I support the Electoral College is because..... I'm brilliant too.

    There were a LOT of blowouts in this round of BOTB. I think your contest and my contest were about the closest ones -- both with a 4-vote margin of victory.

    I have a feeling my next one is going to reside in Blowoutville also. But, so what? The main thing is to have fun with it (and avoid "the dreaded SHUTOUT").

    Did Alex Jones cure your migraines? If so, then it was really *I* who cured your migraines, because you never heard of Alex Jones before you heard of me! What's in this for ME? What's my cut?

    As Jesus said: Render unto Stephen what is Stephen's; render unto God what is God's. I admit I'm not God, but I AM Stephen, and I want everything that's coming to me!!!

      If you're not careful I'm going to have to come to your house so that we sort out who owes who what in person!

      I saw Bryan's comment on your blog and as he pointed out Ain't Nobody Got Time For That.

      I would re-link, but I don't know how in comments and you've already seen it.

    LOL. You did snark well. I would vote for you for band leader. :)

    I'm so glad there's been a breakthrough for you on the health front! Looking forward to that good news post. ☺
    So true about this being a busy time of year, but I did drop by earlier to check if you had your BOTB results up. At least yours wasn't a blowout like so many of us had! Too bad I was on the losing end, but, so it goes.

      I've had plenty of blowouts. Just goes to show that this might look easy, but not so much!
