Correction: Rock ‘n Roll Throwdown : 1970s B Finals results

Posted by on

“Miss Lawless! What a surprise. What’s brings you down to the bowels of IMAO HQ?”

“I am afraid there is a problem Mr. Walrus.”

“What?”

“It appears that you made a mistake with the Rock ‘n Roll Throwdown.”

“No, surely you jest.”

“No I am not jes… why do you old guys all ways make that joke?”

“Habit.”

“Well cut it out. Now the nice Mr. Tankdemon pointed out you made a mistake tallying the vote for the finals.”

“No way! Let me check….”

“I trust this will be corrected before it has to go ‘Upstairs’.”

“You mean to Oppo?”

“No. Higher.”

“You mean, Basil not Basil?”

“No. Higher.”

“You don’t mean the world renowned author and blogger who has personal knowledge of Glenn Reynold’s password for the puppy blender? The man who will nuke the moon?”

“I won’t mention his name. Now, will you correct the mistake?”

“I’ll get right on it.”

“I don’t doubt it.”
