October 2007 Fan

By now, the judges are used to the hard work they face every day of throwing out millions of over-qualified applicants for this contest and choosing the very best submission. To ease up the mounting tensions, this week, the panel decided to have an offsite to lighten the work environment.

During the offsite, the judgement panel employed an alternative judging approach: it is called the pogostick method. The judgest must ride a pogostick up and down a moving staircase. When a judge falls off, he is out of the game. The last judge to remain on the pogostick gets to choose the winner of the Fan of The Week contest for October 2007. Any judge who drinks water or uses the bathroom is immediately disqualified!!

Unfortunately, even at this team-building activity, the judges remained serious. The pogostick competition went on for days. There was concern that it would not end in one week- which is the maximum amount of time allowed to judge this weekly contest. Finally, on the fifth day, seven of the 13 judges suddenly collapsed from dehydration. Three judges accidently peed a few hours later immediately disqualifying themselves. one judge was so hungry he started secretly gnawing his own arm while riding the pogostick-but of course this type of cheating and unsportsmanship was soon discovered and this judge was also disqualified.

 

The remaining judge was declared winner six days later! But after 149 hours of pogosticking without any food, water or defacation, he was too tired to even look at the fan submissions. That's why he just picked one at random, and that's how the winner was announced.
