That’s right. It’s poll time, fools. Make with the clicky-clicky. Spread the love. One vote.The links are in the poll, but they don’t really work out so well. You can go here and check out the comments if you need the clickable links — I might, if I have time, populate this page with the hot fresh links, but right now I gotta bolt and want to get this poll up and running, yo.
Also, casual reminder. Nudge, nudge.
I’m at 981 Twitter followers.
If you miraculously get me to 1000 followers by 11:59PM tonight, I’ll give you a free short story. But let’s be honest — it ain’t looking so good. I doubt your abilities, proselytes. Prove me wrong with blood sacrifice. (Also, don’t go getting all tricky on me and creating a ton of fake accounts. I can smell such chicanery like a hamster rotting in the walls. Snif, snif.)
Anyway, the beard, the fat, the laser, the poll.
I encourage you, in the spirit of honor, to vote for someone other than yourself.

First vote, bitches.
Drive by vote you muthas.
I’m torn over two.
Back later. Might have to throw a dart at those two.
Just want to say – the talent and creativity from this contest was off the fucking hook. Amazing results, everyone. Had a blast participating and seeing what everyone came up with.
@Rick: Word.
@Julie: I’m torn over four, actually. And heck’s yes I get a damn vote.

[...] read the story. Did you not hate it enough to want to vote for it to win? Then click here and vote. Careful, folk. There be curse words [...]
This is esteemed company indeed. Wow.
Oooooo. Maggie and Rick are tied.
I wanna be a fly on their wall.
Please, her story was ten times better than mine
Not to be some Pollyanna jerkface but it’s just swell to be part of this crew. Funny stuff, wild stuff, dark stuff–all smart stuff.
Y’all are some potent pensters and gifted graphicists. It’s a win for all that such an obscure and nonsensical statment has come so far. I picked my one, though. Be he not damned by my rose. Er, vote.
K
You guys all rock. It’s hard to pick.
I also wrote one. After I saw the link to the poll.
Read it if you like, but please vote for someone who managed to get their shit done on time.
How is Paul not winning this by a landslide?
OTHER PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH ME! I SUSPECT CHICANERY! THIS POLL IS RIGGED!
Man, it kind of makes me want to do laser.
And with that, I read the poll is closed. Well done, Pete! Major congrats on turning nonsense into inspiration.
Also congrats to anyone, like me, who’s blog got a bunch of hits and made a few new friends.
Fun times, kids.
Thanks, Chuck.

Gratz, Pete!
[...] Somebody won that shit. They won it hard. In the mouth. [...]
Grats! This was a very, very fun experience.
Woohoo! I didn’t even vote for myself and got 5 votes!
I haz a happy.
Congrats Pete! Huzzah! Enjoyed reading all the stuff, ya’ll!
