Ladies and Gentlemen, we are down to the final four contestants in my Tournament of Randomocity. It has been a long time since that one night when I dream up this tournament with the help of the Croatian Sensation. He planted the proverbial seed and I expanded it to a field of 64 random contestants. It has been quite eventful. Xanga has seen its fair share of drama since the conception of this tournament but I have persevered. On to the results and match-ups.
Joining me are my co-author for my Question column, Cocky, notorious Scandinavian gambling legend, Sven the Norwegian, and a prototype of all three of my stalkers.
Coming out of the Animal Bracket is the fuzzy-wuzzy but deadly Cat. I think my photo of my cat Lua with a gun helped scare people into voting for her. She really is mean and does carry that thing around the house...fully loaded.
Pink Floyd ran the gambit in the Band Bracket. I think for most of their match-ups they threw shut-outs. It's good to see that Floyd is still in the hearts and minds of rock fans.
Beatrix Kiddo decapitated Mark Borchardt in the finals of the Movie Badass Bracket. She had some near losses however just like in Kill Bill, she came out victorious.
The Random Bracket has the lowest seed in the Final Four. The #12 seeded Super Nintendo prevailed over Cadbury Mini Eggs. I didn't think that was possible given this is the time when Cadbury Mini Eggs are on the market but Super Nintendo ate them up and spit them out on the way to the Final Four.
Game 1 #7 Cat vs #1 Pink Floyd
Tournament of Randomocity Final Four Game 1 #7 vs #1
Me: This is a tough match-up. We have cats, gods on earth to the ancient Egyptians and cats haven't forgotten the worship so they feel that they deserve to be declared the winner. But Pink Floyd gave us Dark Side of the Moon and do you realize how many stoners have listened to that album while eating Cheetos and watching Wizard of OZ?
Cocky: I have to go with Pink Floyd here because cats are my natural enemy. I should swoop in and steal your cat's gun so that it is a fair fight.
Sven: I like to eat da lefsa und da lutefisk whilst watchin' dad Wizard of OZ mit Dark Side sose I gots to pick Pink Floyd.
Stalker: Even though I am in Iowa this weekend, I still know that you went to the casino and had bacon that you dipped in a chocolate fountain. I am going to leave chili on your back porch tomorrow.
Game 2 #2 Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill vs #12 Super Nintendo
Tournament of Randomocity Final Four Game 2 #2 vs #12
Me: As a child and even now, Super Nintendo has given me countless hours of entertainment. However when Kill Bill came out Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo gave me much entertainment in that tight yellow jumpsuit and those sword handling skills...I don't know how this one will go.
Cocky: Super Nintendo defeated the last constestant I was rooting for in this tournament. Being sexist as I am I am going to have to pick Beatrix Kiddo because....wait for it....she's a CHICK!
Sven: Dat Super Nintendo ist da best. Ise gots da fishin' game and Ise spends hours playin mit mine family and tries to catch dat biggun. Iffun day had a ice-fishin' game Ise be in da heaven.
Stalker: Reba McEntire....REBA McENTIRE....Jeff Dunham...JEFF DUNHAM...I love Twilight and a vampire is going to marry me or maybe it will be Prince Guko. I like pizza.
There you have it. Vote once and vote often. As of now the polls will remain open until next Saturday and the finals will be announced next Sunday.
Oh and I want some feedback as to whether this was a good idea and if I did another with say, just bands, if you would be interested.
