One More Plea

As I have mentioned, Goldy Gopher is competing to be Capitol One Mascot of the Year. Well, Goldy has made it into the playoffs, and clawed his way past Cocky from South Carolina and Hairy Dawg from Georgia to reach the final round (MacKenzie adds: This is still going on?). So I come to you one more time for help. Vote for Goldy here.

In the championship, Goldy faces Zippy, a kangaroo from the University of Akron. And here's the thing: throughout the competition, the mascots have been like a tank of lobsters. Whenever one threatens to emerge from the pack, and starts to climb the standings, the voters have quickly pulled that mascot back down. Goldy has swung from 2nd to 11th place during the competition because of this.

But somehow, Zippy has avoided this. He finished the "regular season" 11-0. I don't see how this is possible, because people from all over had to be voting against him. I know I did, many a time. So I suspect there's some funny business going on in Akron. Maybe Zippy has computer-hacking skills.

So this where you come in. Let Capitol One know that you will not accept questionable mascot activities in the competition. Vote for Goldy. Thank you.
