Since the Cubs keep sending Bobby Scales away every time we do something nice for him, we thought we would capitalize on that serendipity and see if we could get someone sent away who actually wanted to be sent away. Our very own, NICK HAWKINS, is a world traveler extra ordinaire. He has traveled to every continent on the planet except Antarctica. But, with your help, we can change that.

Nick is one of a select few who are eligible to be a Quark Expeditions travel blogger.

If you have ever read any of NICK’S posts, you know that he is smart, irreverent and perfectly capable of immersing himself in the local color. 

If Nick wins he will be blogging regularly for Quark Expeditions and, I am sure, we will get some wonderful little vignettes as well. Plus, as you fans of Saul who became Paul well know, having someone prostletyzing on your behalf is a great way to get the word out. Certainly, Antarctica needs to be as free from bad journalism as the rest of the planet. And, with your vote, that can happen.

NICK (click on his name to vote for him) also is a connoisseur of Chicago style Hot Dogs. In fact, he is so rabid about his tastes that he refuses to spell k-e-t-c-h-u-p.

In other words, he is exactly the kind of man you would want representing Chicago.

A vote for Nick is a vote for all that is Good and Holy. So, vote for Nick and feel better about yourself.

Also, according to an ex-girlfriend of his, the further he is from her, the happier she is, so that means there will be one more happy single girl in Chicago for the rest of you. And she drinks beer too!

CLICK HERE TO SAY “HI” TO NICK! and then send his butt to the Antarctic.
