This Is More Like It

Meat. Beer. That's a f@#$ing prize.


Mantastic 2008's own Nick Overstreet has graciously donated this genius-level prize, which more than makes up for the questionable-level prizes we'd previously received. Except the money, of course. Not much beats a wad of cash in your hand, except maybe the love of a good woman. Or man. Or even a dog.

Note: Both meat and beer are currently chilling in the refrigerator.

Ye Gods

One of our lucky winners is actually a loser! We got this hideous prize donation and, to be honest, it gives me the shivers!

One pack of Grillz candy. Put it in your mouth, pretend you've got a sweet metal grill. Then you eat it. The slogan printed on the package? "Have fun!" At least it's watermelon flavored.

Congratulations and apologies to the winner.

James Brown: Chester A. Zagnuts

"Right on."

He just said that. I heard it. He wasn't saying it ironically!

Kid's loopy...

You People = Crazy

What's more Mantastic than getting punched in the face by Mantasm himself? Chocolate that tastes like bacon, that's what.


This prize was created by someone who should be arrested on principle. Who wakes up in the morning and thinks, "I'm going to start a company today that makes bacon-flavored chocolate bars and call that company Vosges." What in the wide world of internet pr0n makes someone do something like that? I can't tell you, but one of our lucky winners will receive this 85 gram bar of lunacy. 41% cacao!! That's got a huge street value in Calcutta.

I'm jabbering. I'll stop.

Prize For A Real Man

Or for a very ballsy woman. Actually, I don't know what I'm talking about.

It's Brawndo, people, The Thirst Mutilator!


"Brawndo's got what plants crave! Brawndo's got electrolytes. And that's what plants crave. They crave electrolytes. Which is what Brawndo has. And that's why plants crave Brawndo. Not water, like from the toilet."

Says so right on the can. Go to www.brawndo.com to read more about this miracle non-thirstiness tool!

Today's Order Of Business

Round One of Voting: Complete!

We now have winners for all six categories and they will be announced when everyone's interest is so piqued that at least one of you pees your pants.

No, that's not true.

Yesterday we filmed the Mantastic 2008 Awards Presentation Ceremony, which is now in the editing room. All reports indicate that we should be airing it tomorrow! Holy cats! That's hot stuff.

For today, though, we're rolling out more prizes. Hot diggety!

Get Out The Vote!

All the photos are posted! All of the candidates are preparing their campaigns! It's time to vote, vote, vote!

How you vote is up to you. Do you like a bushy thatch? Do you give bonus points for presentation? Your criteria are your own. You decide. It's your vote; do with it what you will.

Here's how you do what you do:

1. Look over all the candidates in the progressions below. Click the images to make them larger.
2. If you've narrowed your choices to maybe two or three candidates per style, go back to their Week #5 animated gifs by clicking the Weekly Check-Ins link in the column to the left. More data should help you decide.
3. Email me with one (1) candidate from each category. I should have a total of six votes from each voter, since there are six categories.

That's it. That's how easy it all is. Do your due diligence, make an informed decision, and mail in your "ballot."

Good fricking luck!

Candidates: William H. Taft

Candidates: The Colonel
