When you were cruising at 1% of the total vote, I may have jumped the shark (Is that <b>way</b> to old of an expression?) on the invite to your Villa of Good Times and Free Beers as the first act of self-appointing myself to unofficial managerdom. Please understand that a serious shaking of the dormant readership of Isoglossia was needed. We are here to read, laugh, and take in your wisdom. But we were also here to support your cause, albeit a cause thrust upon you. It's for the children that we did this, you, of course, know. They see their father punching away each night, toiling with just the right construction of the sentence, polishing endlessly the <i>bon mot</i> that will make our week. And what good do the Sons of Sgazzetti see? Why, their tired, empty, dis-illuisoned tata! What they need to see is his trip to to International Award-dom. And since Mr. Manske so kindly offered the opportunity...well, we your readers, were more than pleased to help the Sons of Sgazzetti achieve the Satin PJ's, a true international prize. It was an honor to help the cause, despite the appearance of madness from this corner of the world. I'm beginning to think that voting does actually matter (no matter how many times one does it). Your election has put to bed, finally, the concept of the hanging chad. I will honorably accept any blame deemed necessary for getting you in this situation.

Regarding the ninja skills and whatnot, as with all acts of faith, one must truly believe in one's heart that these things will come true. If people did not receive said gifts after they voted, then they have no one to blame but themselves. YEEEEE-HAAAAAAAA!
