The Top Eight:

Serious Misgivings vs. It Wasn’t Funny

Demands vs. The Duel

Lame Clown vs. A Comprehensive Guide To Middle School Life

Adrenaline Junkies vs. A Reading From the Book of Lucas

The Eliminated (Why I loved ‘em):
Well She Thinks She’s Funny – I loved the clever ‘what goes around comes around’ where the back-seat driver’s gal-pal frustrates his Pac Man game.

Hide Your Energy Drinks – Hilarious tale of a little brother’s trail of fury on a sugar high.

Twice As Fast – If Jack Black was being taught Kung-Fu it’d look something like this.

Bed Time Story – The lines between sleep and wakefulness are crossed due to deadlines and all-nighters. Great punch-line.

Contradictory – I could see my wife and I doing this.

A Day of Hard Work – Another great revenge tale. Every housewife should feel validated by this one.

Optional – Where does milk come from? From a child’s viewpoint.

The Old Mime – Did the child celebrate making fun of the mime or his accomplishment of ‘speaking mime’.
