It all started Oct 22, 2011. Hahmichael made a mistake of coming to Calgarypuck.com for a little student support... A polite young man, he even said please. However MrMastodonFarm swung quicker then a young Iron Mike, before he went crazy, and called Hahmichael out on his join date followed with a crowd pleasing No.
"I voted for Kenda Wannamaker.
Why? Wannamaker is an awesome name." - HotHotHeat
Thats when the magic started. It caught on like a ring of fire! Everyone was here... Cracking jokes "I wannamaker 1st!", laughing, things where really great… But she was way back, and we had to make up lost ground. The votes where flying in. From everywhere people where getting on board and voting Wannamaker.
It was getting late now for a group of Calgarypuckers, but the votes where still rolling in. But then Drury Fixed something up with photoshop, and a little internet campaign started.
The next day Hahmichael had his account removed as his request. However later that evening the Wannamaker votes where within hundreds of first place. By 9:00pm it was bound to happen soon. It just happens Beyond.ca had someone trying to get votes on their site to. However they joined CPs side and began voting. On October 23, 2011 at 10:39pm Wannamaker took the lead. Chuck Norris was happy. Everyone was happy.

The best part about the whole Wannamaker thread was how organic it was. It wasn't forced, or the "thing to do" that week or a weekly thread to go nuts on...it just happened naturally.
Kind of like the 2004 playoffs and the Red Mile. No one told people to go down there and party. No one said "everyone be nice and just high-five and cheer." It just happened. It was organic and natural.
I'm not entirely sure what I'm trying to say, or how to say it, but I think people know what I mean.
