Choose or Perish Tournament: The End in Sight

The end is in sight for the Choose or Perish tournament. Here's how it's going to go down:

First, the current contest (Love vs. God) will run its course. Then, there will be a final Choose or Perish Smackdown Round, wherein all tournament "contestants" which have appeared in at least three rounds (besting at least two other contestants) will all face off against each other in one poll. Currently, this includes Monkey in Fez, Free Money, Free Will, and Love. If God should happen to beat Love, then He will also be included in the Smackdown.

Immediately preceding the Smackdown Round, however, there will also be one contest to induct a single wild-card contestant into the Smackdown. In the wild-card round, all of the items suggested in the comments to this post will face off against each other, and the winner will be anointed Smackdown Eligible.

I must say, I've been entirely entertained by the Choose or Perish tournament; thanks to all who've voted for helping to make it happen.

I nominate "Choose or Perish" - how could anyone not vote for that?

I believe I am going to have to 2nd the Cool Whip nomination.

I nominate Foam Chicken.

Which I know would make much more sense if I could show you all a picture of my adorable yellow ball-with-beak stuffed with little foam microbeads that sits on the guest chair in my office and can be used as a pillow (for napping) or a ball (for, for example, Foam Chicken shot put) or a hug recipient (for stressful times).
Oh, Foam Chicken, you are my friend.

Mary Ann, a member of the I&M conference call team, wants to nominate caffeine. Who knows why she won't do it herself; perhaps laziness. Perhaps shyness. Perhaps disdain for the jefftidballdotcomland community.

But I like her nomination, so here it is. Caffeine. Just like Love, but it keeps you awake, too.

Frappucino.
Gin.

I'll have to second the Trogdor and third the Cool Whip. They're just too cool to pass up for Choose or Perish.

Opposable thumbs are cool.

Pez Monkey Dispenser (ie, Monkey in Pez)
Drumsticks
Chicken Soup for the sole (not a typo)
Orange Crush
Free Beer (has this been a choice?)

That's all.

The wild card submission period is now ended. Thanks for playing.
