I am now 46 votes away from tying for first place in the BenSpark Refreshing Soda Club contest. Wow…what a little whoring around the interwebs can do, in less than a week! I was WAY behind, but now I am firmly in second place, thanks in big part to Kat….who promoted me on a message board that she posts on regularly.

I’ve also done some shameless begging on a few other boards where I’m a regular, and it warms the cockles of my soda-loving heart how so many have come through for me. I thank each and every one of you who took the time out of your busy day to go and cast a vote for little old me!

And to whoever put me on TotalFark…a HUGE thank you! Shawn told me about this, since I don’t subscribe to TotalFark, I can’t see it. And neither can you, if you didn’t pony up for a subscription. But to whoever posted it there, thanks! It has been helping!

A week ago, I had pretty much given up on this contest. But thanks to some great friends…you know who you are…I now have a fightiing chance here!

Drew is gonna have a TON of hits on his site between now and 8PM Eastern time…many from yours truly, to see how the last minute voting is going. It could go any way at this point…me, Jay, Joana…who knows?

But I will now do some more shameless begging, and ask for your one last vote today…right here. Thanks in advance!

Good luck to all who entered…may the best one win!
