Which was the best Drabble of 2009?

The Absent Minded Professor was excellent.

That was a heart-wrenching decision. All five were excellent and worthy of making the top 5.

I went round and round settling on the first 3, and went with Time Machine, because I have a thing for a well crafted time travel story.

Congrats on making the finals, Pheno. Well deserved, as were the rest.

If Freeforums works the way a lot of other forums do, it may not be possible to change the text in the vote thingy without resetting the votes that already happened. D: Really annoying.

Dude, I totally checked this out and it's legit. My sister's cousin's niece said her friend's uncle already got his cash and sweet Zune.

He said

>>>Best Drabble award. I know it must be true because CNN interviewed Bill at his mansion yesterday to ask if this was a scam, and Bill said that of course it wasn't.

The excess quote levels are a really nice touch.

Or from the main character in this weeks drabblecast, apparently.

Don't do it, man. You don't want to end up like Fry, do the nasty in the past-ey, and end up as your own grandfather, do you?

I de-gaffed Norm's spell job. Now it is you and your mention that are gaffing. Outsiders will judge, muwhaha!

No prob. I also switched my not to now so the sentence makes sense. 'Not' I don't sound as dumb!

aw, man, i'm losing! ah well, at least the story beating mine is really kickass

None of these drabbles are losers, Munsi. One of the will be number 1, though. Yes, ABM did kick ass. So much so that I had to bump my own in round one because I realized I had let it slip my mind.

If you are gonna get beat, get beat by a great drabble, not beaten senseless and left with ringing ears.

...definately true. 'tho if a drabble's written that can actually beat me senseless....

...it's unsurprising, i'm half without sense as is
