    For reasons I’m still not sure about, #4 is my favorite…

    I think the 4hrs of lost shows dedication to their aspiration to be cool.

  • Raquel TWG says:

    You can’t vote for your own, right? [if you can you know I wanna win. hehe]
    If not, I I vote for entry #dos [2]

    [oh and I know it's supposed to stay anonymous, but...thanks Randy]

  • cool dad says:

    Thanks randy and raq for your votes! I hope there will be others because we’re kind of deadlocked right now.

  • brent(inWorship) says:

    Design work, coffee and the Matrix. I am definitely going for #4

  • Raquel TWG says:

    Don’t you mean #3, Brent?
    Because ‘#4′ did nothing of the sort. I would know ;]

    [oh and I don't know why I put two I's in my last comment. I'm sorry]

  • Mandy C. says:

    Yeah, I’m going w/ #3. Gotta love The Matrix.

  • Rachel says:

    I vote for 3…because I am quite fond of Franklin. =)

  • Emily says:

    I vote for #5, because getting accosted by your husband is always a win win win.

  • Brenda says:

    I’m really sad that no one has voted for mine. :( But I’ll get over it!

    I’m voting for #5 because the potty training and dreadlocks cracked me up and that laundry room thing was hot!

  • Anonymous says:

    I’m going for #1 b/c I really wish I was on the beach right now…

  • brent(inWorship) says:

    Ummmmm…

    TWG is right. I voted for #3 but accidently said #4. I apologize.

    My vote is for #3

  • Cornelius Crew says:

    #5- it reminds me of my own life!
