Let this serve as notice of the rewards that minimal effort and an intrusively long username may reap!

But you voted #100000 East Manitoba Regional Junior Kabaddi Champion '94, as did we all, apparently.

But how many favourites?

I can't believe this is the only post with the "self-aggrandizement" tag.

I mean, you have 100,000 favourites, but none of them are from me, so do they really count?

And yet you’ve only favorited 17k. Better even that up!

Frickin favorites. How do they work?

"Narcissism" is doing a booming business, though.

Whenever I'm scrolling through megathread, maybe a little quickly or even skimming, and I see one of your call logs, I always slow way down and read it word for word. Your deadpan style is very effective. I like how you very politely don't mince words. When I see who has favorited something of mine and your name is there, I feel proud for a couple of seconds.

The senator/rep call logs are the single best part of the megathreads. Are they real? Fake? I don't even want to know. I will purchase them in book form.

I am now very curious about these call logs, but I'm not easily finding what you mean in East '94's history. Can you link an example? Or tell me how best to search them?

Search their history for the phrase, "I was thanked".

Those *are* great. I favourited the one I liked best - it's not funniest but it is the one where East '94 most seems to be on the Senator's side while simultaneously not being on her side at all.

Here is an example that I found and enjoyed.

Congrats! I am avoiding the mega thread for at least the month of January, so I have not gotten to enjoy reports of your calls lately. When I clicked on the link above posted by jessamyn, I recognized it immediately and had already made it a favorite.

You’re welcome.

Sad to say, after the most recent call, I was not thanked. I was hung up on. 😪

Yes, but you went out with a bang.

Can't stop laughing at the shoutout-to-self gag. I was all "Oh, that's nice... HEYWAITAMINUTE!". Good work!
