It's that time of the year again. At least this will be the easier ballot of the two for me. ...That steel one is going to be a pain in the butt. ;)

I know quite a lot about Donkeys!

Should be an easy year for me, I ended my season with a pathetic 3 new credits (2 wooden). Ballot will be almost identicle to last year.

If anyone is confused by the ballot they should check out Robb's awesome "Idiot's Guide" guide:

http://www.themeparkreview.com/mitch.htm

My poll this year shouldn't be too much different from last year. The biggest difference is that Balder is even further ahead of everything else this year!

I *STRONGLY* reccomend doing this poll and I *STRONGLY* reccomend doing it the "old fashioned" way.

The "Idiot's Guide" is posted above if you need help filling it out.

I will just wait for the easy way, it is the same way I have done it for the past few years. I forget who does it, but they have a name on here.

Yep, Ted's app makes the poll much easier, but you should vote no matter what!!
