Vote Quimby, I Mean Section214

A few weeks ago we were talking about the Kings luckiest fan contest, where the one luckiest fan would travel to New York for the lottery proceedings. A few of you goaded me into entering, and guess what?

(Here is where I would put the link to http://www.nba.com/kings/fans/lottery_bracket.html except that I am experiencing linkage problems.)

That's right. I am in the hunt to be the Kings luckiest fan!

This grueling process began a few weeeks ago when I submitted (in 50 words or less) why I was the luckiest fan. 49 words and a few days later I was invited down to ARCO Arena, where I was forced to eat free food along with close to 50 other people, all of whom put their "Why I'm the luckiest fan" rap on video. This group has been narrowed to 24 people, including yours truly.

The 23 + me are now on the Kings website. There will be six semi-finalists determined by the voting public. I then believe that the winner will be chosen by Maloof's Sports & Entertainment, though I am not entirely sure.

This much I do know. You people talked me into inspired me to do this, and now I need your vote! I do this at great personal expense - now you will all know that my name is Rob, I'm from Roseville and I do indeed sit in section 214 (I think I'm the 6th person down the left hand side of the voting web page). You will see my face (though I recommend that you not stare right at it - cut a hole in a piece of cardboard and look at the shadow), so at least now you will understand why my avatar is "Mr. Teeny."  I am no longer invisible, which means eating out will now certainly become a challenge, especially if Ron Artest happens to be in the same restaurant. I am certain that Mayor Fargo and The Bee will chip in with allegations of their own about me, so let me be forthright and declare right now that the German Shepherd told me that she was 21 (though that turned out to be in dog years so she was actually only 3).

You can vote multiple times but only once a day, so feel free to vote early and often. Remember, a vote for me is a vote for freedom, puppies and the American Way. Failing to vote for me is a vote for terrorism and the L.A. Lakers. If I we lose, Peaches wins.

Thank you for your support, and please forgive me for the video, which was done in one take with no rehearsal.

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

Obviously...

I’m voting for you either way. But to the Collective, just think of the chance of the Peaches shirt making an appearance on National Television. Beatles on Ed Sullivan you’ve just been Rick Roll’d!

IF we vote for you

A peaches shirt on national TV is a MUST

Ok

I voted for you, although this is probably just another hoax intended to convince us all that you aren’t really inmate #435925 at the D-Wing of Folsom Prison.

Saw you last night

I was doing my 45 minutes of torture on the treadmill and saw you on News 10. I had music going through the earphones, so I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but you got the most face time by far.

Unless

you only have access to one computer and one email address, it could be possible to vote even more than once per day…just sayin’.

Let’s win this Chicago style!

I agree seeing a Peaches shirt on national tv would be priceless.

You think that wouldn't hurt Rob? Be quiet about it folks

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on

by pookeyguru on May 1, 2008 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

Make sure this gets recommended so it gets in the recommended section

All it takes is 5 to keep this on the recommended fan post list.

How would you like to be the person

who makes it all the way to te final 25, only to see you are matched up against 214? Kind of like Denver making the 8th spot in the playoffs. Ouch!

by SavageBeast on May 2, 2008 8:28 AM PDT reply actions  

Voted...

I voted for you and fully expect you to wear the Peaches t-shirt at some point if you win.

by Carl on May 2, 2008 9:12 AM PDT reply actions  

Also

The “I heard one of my competitors was a Laker fan” line cracked me up.

by Carl on May 2, 2008 9:13 AM PDT up reply actions  

Done...

...and done. And I will keep voting each day. I wish they showed a running vote tally.

Oh, and another thing.

Vote for the really old people. They probably don’t have friends that use the internet thus ushering their inevitable, crushing defeat.

Sorry...

...that’s just realism. But if it makes you feel better, I’m sure one of those older folks will turnout to have a very popular sports blog and out me for the fool I am.
