Vote for Optimus Prime!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Vote for Optimus Prime!

Post by jboyler » Thu Mar 03, 2005 5:26 am

This was posted in another forum:


My University has just built a new Athletic Center and they are having an online vote to decide what the name of the building is going to be. On the top ten choices for the name of the building is "Optimus Prime".

So my point now is on this website
http://www.lusu.ca/database/wp/?id=56

there is the top ten names and "Optimus Prime" is on there. So I ask you all to help me get my university's new building named "Optimus Prime" . The Last day to vote is tomorrow I believe, so if you can all help me out it'll be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Also in case that website doesn't work just go to www.lusu.ca and then click to vote for the new building name.
Everybody go give it a click!

Heheheh, :D total domination! I voted Optimus Prime meself. I must say, with such naff and/or boring names that was in the poll it's the only logical choice.

Now someone go and sneak over there once it's done, and paint a big-arse Autobot logo on several walls in the cover of the night. :twisted:

Here is the unfortunate conclusion:
The Prime wrote:Well it is confirmed the new name of the building is The Hangar, even though Optimus Prime clearly and most certainly destroyed the competition in the online vote.

Funny thing is that the University President was telling everyone about how they did an online vote for it and how it's new and that everyone voted for The Hangar to be the new name.

Well I think it's time for me to write a letter to the University newspaper and see what they have to say in return. I think it'll be funny ot hear what they will have to say.

However I'm disappointed that Optimus didn't win, i was taping it all with my digital camera and everything and was ready to burst out cheering when they were supposed to say his name.

Just want to say thanks again for everyone who voted, at least we know it was supposed to be named Optimus Prime.
Sigh... :(

WHAT THE ****:evil: :x :x :evil:

(I think you might be willing to give me a temporary reprieve on that one, eh Besters? This is a rather special occassion. :( )

I believe that a certain University President needs to be the object of some serious herrassment of various forms...
