Saturn

Saturn

The Hague, EU – Delegates all agreed that Jupiter sure is large, Earth is chock-full of living organisms, and Venus is bright, but once again Saturn, the ringed wonder between Jupiter and Uranus, took home top honors in the sixth annual “World’s Greatest Planet” competition. Top runners up included crowd-favorite Mercury and dark-horse Twopiter, but neither were able to beat out Saturn’s 308 total votes. OGLE235-MOA53 and HD 114762 did not receive any votes whatsoever, though WASP 2 did win an honorable mention for “Most Interesting Name, Extrasolar Category.”

Convention delegates are chosen from the astronomy community, the astrology community and through a lottery sponsored by Go Icecream! Magazine. Each delegate receives three votes which are color coordinated (blue, yellow, pink) and may be cast in any one of the ten categories. The initial categories are chosen by the host committee and include Best Color, Best Moons, Most Interesting Chemical Composition, and Smelliest Atmosphere.

Each of the 430 delegates casts their color votes (for a total of 1290 votes). The three categories with the most yellow cards are then chosen for the second round.

Delegates are divided into teams of ten members each, and each team chooses a candidate for each of the three second round categories. After lunch and coffee, the teams break up and the second round of voting begins when the host committee members distribute a one euro coin to each delegate.

The delegates place their coins in copper pots representing each of the ten candidates in each of the three categories. Only one vote may be cast in any category of the delegate’s choosing. Once the coins are placed, the pots are weighed by the tallest member of the host committee.

If there is a tie the process is repeated again, though in this optional third round each team chooses a mouse from a clear plastic hopper. The mice then run through any of the pre-chosen mazes provided by the host committee. The first three mice to make it through the mazes determine the final, tie-breaking voting teams, who reorganize according to the proportions of specialists and laymen at the competition and vote using black and white beans placed in a simple leather sack.

Fortunately, no tie happened this year.

In the competition’s only upset, Gravitational Microlensing beat out the Transit Method for “Best Detection Method.” Media reports of Transit Method spokes-model Dr. Ira Shore’s poor sportsmanship and bad manners during the announcement were not exaggerated, as the dethroned detection king ripped off his sash and stalked out of the Paard van Troje Concert Hall, knocking over the open bar in the lobby.

The other results this year were astounding as well. For the fifth time in a row Saturn took home the famed silver goblet for “World’s Best Planet,” while Earth and Mars tied for “Best Volcano,” and Neptune took home the title of “Best Gas Giant.”

Written Correspondences from Good Natured Gentlemen Who Have Read Our Previous Installments and Wish to Comment on Some Aspects Thereof

Dear Axes & Alleys,
I thought “My Many Swords” was cute, you know, that the author actually thought to write about their use of fake swords. We all do it when we’re young, but you never really think about it now a days. It was neat how he could remember and connect together all of the different fake swords he used throughout his life. I don’t know, I can’t really explain it. It was just cute.

To the Editors, Axes & Alleys,
Hey wow. Sweet review. Thanks Jeremy!

Dear A&A,
I don’t know if you’re aware of the Dr. Keith Ablow Show, but it’s certainly aware of one of your favorite subjects: Dustin Diamond (Jared Diamond/Dustin Diamond, Vol. 456-BR7 Issue 13). In an effort to become more like all of the other bland midmorning talk shows from the past 20 years, the show revisited the theme of child stars and how they’ve screwed up their lives. Dustin was on and very proud of his manager/girlfriend. He also made a passing reference to the size of his pancreas (I think). Anyway, you might like to tape that show next time it’s on or something. Unfortunately Terry McWhorty wasn’t on the show. You probably saw him in the popular 1970s sitcom Mayor Dipples, in which he played Tommy Dipples, the mayor’s irrepressible son.

Axes & Alleys,
A lot of people made fun of me for my comments on the Senate floor about the internet being a series of tubes. But did you know that I voted not guilty on the perjury charge brought against Bill Clinton during his impeachment trial in the Senate? I was also one of the Flying Tigers. That should make everything cool, right?

To the Editors,
Do you actually do anything at all anymore? I see all the regular feature writers working hard and, of course, Ms. R. Grunion is the best Editor-in- Chief of the last half-century. But reading over last month’s issue, I couldn’t help but notice that those other two editors of yours weren’t contributing much to the magazine.

To The Historigon Editor,
Sir, your entry for the conception of Artabana taking place during Justinuary of 21 AD is incorrect. Sauren the Parthian sired Artabana this month. Also, he used severed Roman heads to impress girls, not captured helmets as you claim.

Dear Axes & Alleys,
Your Justinuary cover model, Irene, sure is dreamy. Can you please let me know how to get in touch with her? Also, do you have plaster casts of her feet?

A&A Dudes,
I spent several weeks with a dollar bill attempting to forge the signature of the Secretary of the Treasury. I still can’t do it very well. I’ve got the Treasurer of the United States’ signature down pat, though. It comes in handy when I have to sign in at the front desks of buildings and forging checks.

Dear Editors,
I have to say your “No Punning” sticker from Sticker Page this month is excellent. I keep one stuck to my shirt whenever I’m around my father and he hasn’t punned once. Thank you!

Axes & Alleys:
And the World of Tomorrow!

Dear Readers, Listeners and Lookers,
You might not know it, but each and every issue of the world’s greatest tractor related magazine, Axes & Alleys, is printed in many different formats. There are over two-hundred and eight different languages (209 to be exact) as well as picture-only versions for the illiterate. Believe it or not, there is even an online version in PDF form that doesn’t exist; it’s all just 1s and 0s inside of computers.

Be sure to enjoy this issue, and maybe even check out the handcopied Monastic edition, the Islamic edition which features very few pictures of the prophet Muhammad, the Chinese version which you have to read backwards, or the Dutch-Stereotype version which comes with a tulip and wooden clogs.

Whichever version of this fine publication you happen to be reading, be sure to enjoy it and the wonderful tractor-related information contained therein.
