If you've got five seconds to spare, go the following url:

     http://www.pathfinder.com/people/50most/1998/vote/index.html

and vote for:

     Hank the Angry, Drunken Dwarf

It's case sensitive, so make sure you type it in EXACTLY as it is above.

This is a huge joke.  We want to try to get Hank way up there on the
People Magazine 50 most beautiful people of the year list.  As of 2:00
AM, he's already up to number 5!

If there's anything worth spamming, this is it.  We have to push him
 over
the Leo DiCaprio list.  Drunken dwarves beat drowned drones any day in
 my
book.
