[Groop] OT I mean totally Off Topic

[bj]

I want to ask a real big favour of  the groop,  all you fans of wacky 
comic mayhem.  A Canadian sit-com offered a contest open to all adults 
in Canada to win an appearance on the show.  You sent in jokes, (no cut 
and paste from the internet allowed); the jokes were rated, picked over, 
voted on, voted on again, and finally the finals.  It is now down to me 
and 9 other entries.  Two of them have towns voting for  local heroes,  
and one of them has the staff and patients  of the hospital  where she 
works voting her entry.  My town has less than 200 souls, most of them 
computer illiterate.  It comes down to this;  if most of the groop will 
vote for me, I have a chance;  without you I can't possibly make it.  
Right now I am behind 12 to 80.

The most Groo content I can promise is that if I win, I will  wear the 
"Did I Err" shirt for the appearance if they will let me.  The procedure 
is:

go to http://cornergas.com   and hit <visit dog river>;  register from 
button on second page and hit activation link in email they will send.  
Once activated, log on with screen name and password and open <menu> at 
top of second page and hit <dog river hotel> which will take you to the 
jokes forum.  Open tab marked <the contest> and scroll down and hit 
<vote> button associated with "soups on"  by Baranthar.  Confirm vote 
and done!!!  One vote per email address.
     The site is fairly slow with dialup and at times seems to have 
stalled but it eventually does get there.  The contest is over sometime 
on the 21st.  they don't say exactly when.
      During registration you can lie about your province;  pick your 
favorite or hey!!  Saskatchewan is a great place!  Skip all optional 
questions and just pick one of the avatars and leave the defaults in 
place to speed things up. They have a privacy policy so your email will 
not get spammed.  If I make it  I'll send a chronicle to the groop about 
the experience. 
     Thanking the groop in advance,
Bunny   Grooper since Dec-96
