Winner: "Two Over Easy and A Nice Chardonnay"

A landslide victory for a sad tale of love, loss and the damage done by man's best friend. For once, the butler didn't do it. So who did?

Tom at Half-Moose!

Awesome effort by Tom, our newest Stymphalian Bird, who easily grasped victory by shooting a dog in his two-part entry. Check it out here:

• "Eggs, Over Easy, Not Scrambled"
• "Chardy on the Rocks"

Runner-Up: Baino, "Aura"

Tom's choice of Muse will appear August 16. Come back August 1st for JeffScape's!

Reminder: "Two Over Easy and a Nice Chardonnay"

If a woman's as old as she looks before breakfast, a man's as young as he feels after a few chardonnays. Sate your appetite and quell that thirst, not much longer and it'll be time for lunch.

"Two Over Easy and a Nice Chardonnay"

Hello! Are we talking eggs for breakfast and a drink before noon? Perhaps you'll need to think outside the square... or was it the chardonnay that led to 'two' over easy? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, but if you like it steamy... Patti knows what's cookin' with:

Chill that bottle, turn up the heat...

Winner: "Mother Dearest"

A soldier's plight, best understood by those who follow the code and have felt the frey. The maternal yearning in times of combat. Well-earned by our winner with a face only a mother could love. Congratulations, a well deserved win:

JeffScape!

Heart-rending stuff from the petulant veteran and our first Diomedan Mare:

They say that a Freudian slip is when you say one thing, but mean your mother. What does she mean to you? Only a short time left to spill... no need to stay 'mum,' expose it all.

Naughty... Half Moose With a Twist, Kaykuala, Budhaa and Eclipse didn't vote. Big shame in Half Moose's corner, he would have won! Fingered the lot of you!

*As a 10thDoM admin I (Not For Jellyfish) should not have stated that I would not follow 10thDoM rules. As previously stated, I did, in fact, read all entries and vote accordingly.

We are a blog that strives to encourage readers to read and make accurate and fair votes which cannot be done if all entries are not read.

Please be reminded that we can see who reads and who does not. (originally posted 28 May 2011)

*We're aware that some participants are still not reading entries. If you vote, it's imperative that you read the entries out of respect for fellow competitors. This blog is about reading, appreciating, offering constructive criticism and voting for the worthy. We don't want to be moral policemen but we do watch who's clicking on what and when and for how long. Cheat, and you're cheating yourselves and dishonouring other participants. Please read all posts before voting.

*We'll also be posting the date and GMT time for votes to close on the next Voting Closed Post. This should make it easier for you to work out when your votes have to be posted.

"Mother Dearest"

Is she a lousy substitute for someone who cares or the last name you'll murmur on your death bed? We all had one at one time and her influence is ingrained. Dear and near, or the bitch from hell? Brian Miller challenges us to write about:

"MOTHER DEAREST"

Knife wielding banshee or soldier's solace, let's get maternal.
