The Comeback Challenge Round 41 Here Come Da Judge

Welcome to the results show. The Comeback Challenge (formerly known as The Artist Known as The Saturday Comeback Challenge)has now hosted forty-one competitions. I would like to thank those players who consistently give it a shot each week. Thanks for your faithfulness, your wit, and especially for constantly tickling my funny bone and making me laugh. This week was no different. I'm sufficiently tickled!

But the judging rules changed a wee bit for the better. Most of the players here have played this game for many months. They are some of my favorite - and funniest - bloggers in the known blogosphere: Bud Weiser from WTIT, Bond from Bond's Big Leather Couch, Lance Riley from Solitary Views, Frank from Foxxfyrre's Honk 'n Hollr, Linda from Are We There Yet?, Anyhow Blogs from Singapore and Spinners from My Life As We Think I Know It. We have had several new and returning players of late as seen in this challenge. I appreciate you as well! But I did want to thank the faithful group who always make this fun for me each week (and even after I "lost" Linda's entry she managed to rise, forgive me, and play again.)

Because I know these bloggers and their humor groove so well, I decided to try a different approach this week. I copied their submissions straight from the email without reading them, placed them in a word program and judged them not knowing whose entry I was reading. I really tried not to peek!
I think that's a more objective read for me as the sole judge of my players - and quite frankly - my friends. So here we go with this week's insanity.

And hugs to the greatest group of weekly players a pencil skirt could have.
Now for some great.....
