Thanks to all who nominated me, it's very much appreciated! But don't stop there. Let the gift keep on giving! There are lots of reasons to vote for me for the 2010 Karter Contest. Here's a list of the top 4 reasons why I deserve the #1 spot:

1. I'm freakin' hilarious
Why is Santa Clause so jolly?
...
...
...
Cuz he knows where all the naughty girls are!

What did the cannibal do after he dumped his girlfriend?
...
...
...
He wiped his butt!

(and now to secure the European vote  )
How long does it take for an American to take a dump?
...
...
...
About nine months!

2. It's my anniversary
That's right, May 23rd is my anniversary of marriage to my lovely wife Florie, and this year makes for the sixth year. The best anniversary present I could possibly get is winner of the contest! Six years of marriage ain't easy, so I think I deserve it.

3. I represented MK at an Evo Tournament
I placed first at an official Evo MKDS tournament in 2006 at Vegas, NV. Proof is here: http://shoryuken.com/wiki/index.php/Evolution_2006. And I can upload a scan of the check if you want, I still have a copy of it ($5,000 ) Evo hosts one of the largest video game tournaments in the nation year round, and in 2006 they had MKDS. I came and swamped the competition, amidst lots of "lol MK" slander among the fighting game crowd. Who here can say they've done that?

4. I'm just a swell guy

Seriously, the worst offense I've committed in my life is shop-lifting snickers bars from 7-11 in high school.

So throw some votes my way! You'll feel good about it, I promise

Well I'm not much of a fighting game player, so of the few matches I watched I didn't really understand what was going on. But what was going on must've been pretty epic, as the crowd was really getting into almost all the matches I watched. I liked the competitive atmosphere. Though I didn't get much time watching the other games, as my wife was with me and we were in Vegas (my first time), so we were out exploring the city when I wasn't competing.

Here's a wedding pic (May 2004):

Here's three more recent pics:

Yeah, my wife and sister are some of the coolest people you could meet. Even though it's a bit biased coming from me.

Thanks! Much appreciated  

I have one full sister, two half sisters, 1 step-sister, and 4 aunts, all of which are very good looking. I've not revealed this the 5 years I've been here, cuz I know this forum's reputation  

There go my chances.

I've always loved your posting, plus you play mafia very well, so you had my vote first.  

The sister stuff is great, but what really won me over is the "Compaign".  You have my vote.

What's this? What's this? Why it's...sister pics!

Oh and check this out. We had our garbage cans out on garbage day, and the next day on bringing them in we found some douchebag decided to fill our cans completely with his own garbage. So I slapped on a pair of gloves, dug through it looking for mail with name and address, found out where he lived, then dumped the garbage on his porch (in the garbage bags, I'm not a big enough douche to empty them) with a note saying he can have them back to put them in his own garbage. Here's a pic: http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs262.snc3/27773_10150210652355537_709185536_12...

Vote for this badass!

The first girl is hot!

Great garbage trick.

But, I already said I would vote for you regardless.

Why didn't you empty them? By not emptying them it's basically just like "Hey... here are your garbage bags back"

Too cheap, or too poor? If they are too poor to pay for it you should do them a favor and oblige their garbage dumping. If they're too cheap you should splatter it all over their doorstep. You can't be complacent about shit like this.
