LJ Idol Presents:

Another week, another shocker. Onyxblue1 quits, mog_bane is disqualified for unspecified amounts of "unknown substances" in her system and now lebonheurbum/quoth_the_maven goes down.

For those who were not aware, she was our third place finisher last season, which means ALL of the early favorites are now out of this competition!!!

Looking at the stats in fact, there have been several folks who have been rising quite rapidly, breathing down the necks of the "traditional vote getters", and there are going to be some tight races in the coming weeks in all likelihood as the field continues to narrow toward our TOP TEN.

But that's not why you are here - you want YOUR NEXT TOPIC and here it is:

Parenthood.

Your parents, being a parent, other people's parents and how you hate them... think outside the box on this one and you could propel yourself to the top of the pile, fail to deliver and well.... someone has to be eliminated.

You have until Monday Sept. 11th at 5pm EST to link your post back here.

Good luck.
