Exclamation Cover Contest - Sept. 2-8, 2009.

Well, this is exciting. Never did one of these before. I barely follow these, to be honest. So I haven't got a record of what's been done and what hasn't. With that in mind, it may be a cliched topic, but it's one we all know:

BROKEN HEARTS.

The contest runs all week, and then we vote on the 8th. I know some of you "special" posters have trouble with the whole timezone concept, so here's a handy reference:

http://www.timezonecheck.com

See where it says "Los Angeles"? That's the Pacific Time Zone. Voting will start at 12:01 on Tuesday morning, Pacific time. If the time in Los Angeles says it's not midnight yet, don't vote.

(On a related note, voting will end at midnight the same day. If the time in Los Angeles is after midnight, it's too late for you to vote, and you will henceforth shunned and ridiculed if you do so.)

The other rules:

No suggesting covers or posting covers you don't intend as entries, because only dickheads and morons do that. No multiple covers, one cover per customer. If you're about to do something that seems questionable, stop and ask yourself what J Dog would do, and then do the opposite.

If you think a cover doesn't fit the theme, feel free to point it out, but don't be rude about... aw, who am I kidding? I'd be a hypocrite if I told other people not to be rude.



Gentlemen? Start your engines.

Her heart is so broken, the shards forced her nipples to pop out erect like a timer when a turkey's done.

It's a heartbreaking two in one! A mother is about to have her heart broken by the death of her son and her son is about to have his heart broken with a wooden stake!

Pfft. Sure, love can make you sad, but for a REAL broken heart, try being shunned by the Cool Kids.
