Wannamaker once chopped down a cherry tree. Instead of fessing up to her father, she use the deceased tree to craft valuable coffee lid decorations and sold them for profit. She used that profit to buy an American car, which put food on the table for a blue collar worker's family.

Vote Wannamaker.

Subject: Mass Communication in Canadian Society paper

Dear [Professor],

I was wondering if it was too late to switch topics for the term paper in COMS 435. Something has happened online that I would much rather write about than my previous topic.

Thanks,

[my name here]

OK, I just got out of a 3 hour meeting. What the hell happened? Some leightonator guy made a post in size 60 font, and then I had to leave. I am supposed to be running a report for my boss, but this is far more important. This thread has just gone full bore epic.

Coles notes please.

At 12:45 PM MDT on October 26, 2011, Dinara's Soviet voting team made contact via one of their Russian spies called "Leighton". He begged and he pleaded for us to have mercy and to "stop the madness", even going so far as to claim at one point that he was a true Canadian and a Flames fan.

We have now ramped up our efforts and hold a 1,300 vote lead. Our best estimates indicate that lead will need to be 2,000 by midnight in order to hold off the Soviet night raids.

The race is on.

Could you guys please keep posting vote updates at 4:30, 5:30, 6:30 etc.,?

I appreciate it, I can't thank you because I've run out of thanks, but the graphs will be worth it!

When all this is over I think I will make myself an "I survived the Wannamaker vote 2011" t-shirt.

I have waited years to put a name and number on the back of my Flames jersey and I am actually seriously considering putting Wannamaker/11 on there next time I'm at the Dome.

Who's up for a drinking game during the Flames game?
Flames hit, shot, or save: vote Wannamaker and take a drink
Flames goal: one drink and one vote per Flames goal scored (ie. when the Flames score their third goal, that's three drinks and three votes for Wannamaker)
Stoppage in play: vote Wannamaker repeatedly until play resumes
See a Wannamaker sign in the crowd or hear a Wannamaker chant: vote like crazy for the rest of the game!

If you're not sure what drink to use for this game, I'd suggest that maybe you WannaMaker's Mark bourbon.

edit: Oh man, for the first time in my history on CP, I'm out of thanks! That's how epic the last 24 hours have been.
