First. My respect and admiration for YellowBear's stellar general tasking grew to to a more particular appreciation when he joined with me in the personally perilous battle to avenge the crimes of my respected nemesis.

Second. I found in my extensive plastic priddy collection one blue ninja. I thought "I should give that to YellowBear."

Third. Having just met YellowBear in the non-internet world a couple of hours previous, I overheard him mention sadly that some of his ninja posse had gone to explore the wide world leaving him a little lost and lonely (as only a little bear can feel). I almost blew it by telling him right away, but stopped myself mid-sentance, remembering this task, looking like a fool as I searched for something besides "plastic ninja" that would finish the sentence. Thus began the plotting.

Fourth. Through various spy techniques, I obtained the names, addresses, and friendship of two of his human allies (including his grandmother!). I don't think I was very subtle or smooth. I'm sure he suspected something, but, being a gracious bear, said nothing.

Fifth. I constructed a SuperVote. I used cardboard, gloss medium, tape, tracing paper, normal paper, sharpies and acrylic to make a box to contain the ninja. Then I sewed a silver lamee cape so that it would be clear that this was not a regular vote, but a Super one. Then I gave the box a CareBear-style belly picture (VoteBear). Then I sewed ears, because they are proven to make everything look a little more dashing and debonair. What with the cape and the ears, its kind of a HeroBear. A SuperVote. A SuperHeroVoteBear.

Sixth. I went to the post office and shipped it.

Seventh. I sat on my duff and waited very impatiently.

Eighth. Friday at 3pm, exactly one week after first meeting YellowBear offline, I recieved this message: "Holy S%#@ i just got a super vote! You rule. Thanks! Its super cute."

Ninth. I posted this.

Tenth. I implored you, if you have not yet viewed this task, I insist that you do so and vote for it right now.
