My Name is Marc and I've been an Odd Todd fan since the first cartoon. I am so greatful for Odd Todd to endorse me on his homepage for the Every Man Jack contest. This is a contest sponsored by Target for a new line of Men's soaps. The Winner is supposed to represent an every man. I made it as a wildcard into the 12 finalists. The top 4 win a trip to vegas!!!
I'm a wildcard contestant. That means I wasn't hand-picked by corporate like the other guys. I'm not a male model, fancy marketing/sales/real estate guy, or heroic mixed martial arts firefighter. I don't wear flashy hats or do a million sit-ups a day.
If you read my contestant profile, you can see that I play video games, watch scifi, love pinball, eat nachos, and hate george lucas for ruining my childhood memories. I have a little family including my new wife and dog, Karma. I'm an "Every Man" for the common folks... I'd like to think that I'm your people. I am your guy. Please endorse me for everyman jack.
Thanks for all the support Odd Todd people. I really really appreciate the votes. If you want to go above and beyond, you can vote every 24-hours this week. In this time period, you can also vote once from IE and once from firefox and once from your iphone and once from your blackberry, wii.... etc.
If we win, it will be a win for oddtodd fans and common geeky-cool people everywhere. Plus I promise to come back to this forum and tell funny stories about me as an average guy in a big vegas promotion!
Well, in all fairness Marc, and with full disclosure, this is the same bunch that tried to get a Kiss concert in the hometown of one of our friends by voting for her. It was sort of a fail. So, um... there's that.
I hope you win though, seems like a cool contest.

Thanks Gray!!! hopefully my ambitions are a little smaller than a KISS concert (how cool would that be btw). The great thing about this contest is that I have already qualified as a finalist. If 4 out of 12 go to vegas, them's is good odds. You guys can make it happen by voting early and often!
MAN....the other dudes ARE wanna be porn star actor wannabe poser fuck-faces aren't they?

But to see a firefly means it reminds me something I lost in the past time or imagine some hope in the future,so shimmery bug light is adequate for me.

"What is the most amazing thing you've experienced in your life?
When I was in College my house was broken into and my Mongoose mountain bike was stolen. A week later I was grocery shopping and there was a contest drawing for a Men's Trek GT Mountain Bike. So I entered like I do all contests and two weeks later I received a call saying that I had won. HECK YEAH! That thief can have that old bike because I am the BIG WINNER of a brand new bike! Oh don't laugh-you would be excited too."
THAT is the most amazing thing he's experienced in his life?
WOW. Imagine if he were to win a trip to Vegas.
ETA: I don't want to be AnnonoButtcheek.

That's great!!!! I've never been compared to Squiggy before, but I can see the resemblance. separated at birth?
Not to make excuses, but that was one of my engagement photos. I was nervous so I put too much gunk in my hair. Then our wedding photographer used a filter to blow out my face (and take care of any blemishes to make me look a deeper shade of pale when I'm really more brownish by nature.
For a more accurate image, check out the non-squiggy "Marc as Tony Stark" photo (center pic on my entry) to get less Squiggyness... aw hell I'll attach a copy here as well.
Hopefully I've earned your non-squiggy endorsement. Just as a reminder, please go tohttp://www.everymanjack.com/wanted and vote for me, Marc M of San Jose (1st row, 2nd column). You can vote early and often, once per browser. Thanks so much for your support
That sentence made no sense, but I'm assuming you were asking what was on the front of his shirt. It's from the movie IronMan with Robert Downey Jr. It's what keeps him alive, I forget the "technical" movie term for the gadget.
Yeah, they don't tell you your standing... but if I let myself believe that I'm in the final 4, I might slack off. If I believe I am #9 or something I wouldn't try.
But here's my theory. I think I've got less of a draw then some of those other guys. However my network is more feverish and committed and votes every day.
Hi fellow Odd Todd fans, I got an email last night informing me that I am not every man jack. Thanks for all the votes. Even though I am not a final four finalist and I won't be going to vegas, it was still really cool to have my letter on Odd Todd's website for a few days. Sorry I let you down.
That Sucks ass!!!! Eh, you're still a winn-ah around here.

I don't know about the referal sites. I'm hoping no one cheated too badly.
that one guy with the hat was a school teacher so he had at least a classroom of kids voting every day. That other dude in the corner was ex military so he had a big affinity network. I don't know about dude next to hat dude.
I'm pulling for the other Todd guy now because he's old and seems cool. Thanks again for all the votes. I was stoked that you guys were pulling for me :D
