Another 150 votes in the last 25 minutes. It has to be. You can see our curve swing between am/pm. This is just a steady climb.

Well, at the end of the day:
1) Winnamaker is still ecstatic she came in 2nd with X thousand votes. Since she's up against university students, that's a feather in her cap.
2) The end results are still judged. The online vote does not determine the winner. Unless the Ruskies are paying off the panel, one of 8 bird feeders ain't gonna take it all.
3) Micheal Ha learned that communities are strong and can come together to form a united front at the drop of a hat. He also learned that to get them together on the united front you're hoping for, you have to give a little too.
4) CP got one of the best threads I've ever seen here, and a lot of people who don't stray into the jihad threads (myself included) got some exposure to the Pilsbury thread, which was also epic.
