Guys,
Every once in a while something comes along where we can give back to those that give all. There is a giveaway for a Weatherby rifle going on right now and I have viewed many of the videos. There is one that sets out to me. It is a disabled guy asking for his buddy that has been taking care of him for the last 22 years, as he is paralyzed from the neck down. He is on a ventilator and trys to talk at first but then has his nurse translate his statement that he has told her. Many of the video are about "ME" from people that have stories, but not so fitting as this gentleman. You can vote once a day until february 15. Please consider this guys video to vote for.

I thought he was in the lead, but he'd behind by about 70 votes. Contest runs through Feb 15. The order the website presents the videos in, in the chart-like vertical form, is meaningless, you have to click on "votes" to have them arranged in numerical order.

As long as he can stay in the top 5 he will be good. They are giving away rifles for places 1-5 besides the grand prize.

That's fine, sort-of. The first place video totally sucks, is phony, and must be being backed by 1 or more other messageboards. Current (8:30 PM Eastern) score is 902:975.
The very, very sad fact is that, of all the "finalists", 2 of them either did not vote for themselves, or somebody else in the household hogs all the daily votes.
WTF kind of judge-ing goes on where people with ZERO votes are "finalists"?
The current first-place holder...uh...well, it's not good that that video made it to first....

Saturday, 7:50PM Eastern
Our guy is now back in 1st: :snatch: 2613 to 2594, which ain't much of a lead.
The former-2nd place contender is now much further back, with 2334.
As was mentioned, anything thru 5th place will get him his rifle...but this guy should win 1st place, if you ask me.
RandyCOG3
Edited to ad that a Google search reveals that the guy in 2nd place has gotten a link on somebody's webpage, which is
why, I think, he came up in the rankings so fast. Whether that was just a "bubble" as the readers came and went, or
whether the votes will continue to flood in remains to be seen...VOTE DAILY! The webpage was not gun related, so
hopefully those folks will vote once, and go away...

Our guy holds a slim margin, 3645 vs 3640.
He's beating the socks off the guy who *was* in 2nd, by 500+ votes.
This contest goes on for another 10 days, Feb. 14 IIRC, let's all cast a vote
each and every day until then, and urge your friends to, too...
