As Sam correctly surmised, I've been out of town for the past week, so I haven't been watching the votes pile up. I was pretty much as certain as Sam that Hitchhiker's Guide would win, but I never expected this.

Do you realize that Hitchhiker's Guide not only handily captured the title of most votes in a BAM election, it also got more votes all by itself than there were *total* votes in any previous BAM election? One of the previous elections garnered 80 total votes, and that was the closest competitor. Hitchiker's Guide got 82 all by itself. That's totally insane.

I guess it just goes to show that the type of people RinkWorks attracts are also very likely to enjoy Douglas Adams' works :-)
