Call for monkeys - $5,000 on the line

[Kira]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Apologies if the thread topic seems insulting and/or odd. Â It will all become clear shortly.

A good friend of mine recently won a contest through Bootlegger (a clothing store, in case they don't have them in the U.S.) and got a chance to participate in a Survivor-type online reality show that took part during a cross-Canada road trip. Â Cast members are voted off the bus as the trip goes on, and the grand prize at the end is $5,000. Â Who wins this $5,000 is determined by online voting... and this is where the call for monkeys comes in.

My friend, Curtis Ellinger is his name, is not doing too bad in the voting right now... he's about fourth, or close to it. Â The guy in first, however (a back-stabbing, lying type that populate these sorts of shows by the name of Kyle Paul) has a pretty decent lead and I'm convinced he has the proverbial thousand monkeys at a thousand keyboards voting for him and against the rest of the competition. Â So, I need some monkeys of my own. Â The voting is ongoing at www.canadianroadtrip.com and I think it ends on July 15th, which is when I [iost_uid0]really[/iost_uid0] need some monkeys. Â If you're bored, or even if you're not, do go and give Curtis several, dozens, [iost_uid0]hundreds[/iost_uid0] of 10/10s, and don't hesitate to give any of the other cast members a nice dose of 1/10s. Â (You can vote multiple times by clicking the "select another cast" pull down menu and clicking the same person again.) Â Don't be shy to get neurotic about it and just sit there clicking for hours on end... I'm sure there are more destructive habits to have. Â (And I have a feeling many of you have far, far too much time on your hands...)

If Curtis wins the $5,000, he's buying me dinner. Â If I get a free dinner, then you guys get fivers... I'm thinking something big, like the [iost_uid0]Star Wars[/iost_uid0] trilogy that I've been meaning to five for so long. Â (I'll still do them if he loses, but... soon.)

So go vote, get [iost_uid0]Star Wars[/iost_uid0] fivers. Â Cool? Â Cool.[/colorost_uid0]
