Let's Name a Park!

Do you like ballot stuffing for good? Do you like Chemmy created internet memes like "Throw the Snake" and "Run Vesa Toskala out of town"? Of course you do so it's time to carry your weight PPPers.
Torontoist is having a contest to name a new park in Toronto and I think the name should be Wendel Park. Take two seconds to reflect on the pun and agree that a park should be named after his Punchliness and let's get to work.
What should you do?
1. Go to the original blog entry and post a comment saying you love the name "Wendel Park" because it's true.
2. If you're a Toronto resident go to this page and fill it out with real information saying you want the park to be named Wendel Park with a short blurb expressing your love for someone who would punch the living hell out of you if he found out you didn't vote for him.
If we complete those two goals satisfactorily we will be able to do some serious ballot stuffing on May 31st when the semifinal voting starts. Let's get to it PPPers: we're all counting on you.

I’m in.
I also think there should a memorial wall listing all of Wendel’s victims, with a little reflecting pool where you can just sit and think about them.

We’ll roast hotdogs at the Wendel Clark All Heart Gazebo.

Is that anywhere near the Bob Probert Memorial Gardens?

If this doesn’t make the finals/wins the contest then I think PPP’ers should organize a party where we all get drunk and make “Wendel Park” signs and go cover the park with said signs.
I’m in. Some friends and I turned “Senator Dr.” in St. Catharines into “Maple Leaf Dr.” during the playoff era, and that was fun.

Not in Toronto and therefore don’t have a postal code? M6A 2Y5 is the postal code of a building with 200 apartments (and probably a few surrounding houses) Non-Torontonians, enjoy.
One of these days, when I'm not lazy, I'll figure out the link in sig stuff.
Stage two: tweeting @wendelclark17 to get him on board.

Awesome, I’m sure the PR company intern who runs his twitter account will jump right on board with this.

It’s funny because if you do a google search on Wendel Bark, this is the first thing that comes up.
That’s how the guy on the website knew it was us right away.

The more I visit this site and review the site’s/member’s activities, the more I think it should be renamed “The Maple Leaf Mafia”.

When I get home tonight I’ll click on the confirm link so I can add my comment on how great a name Wendel Park is (work filter won’t let me check personal e-mail at the office, so…)
Anyway, fantastic job, you are truly doing great work here.

in homage to the last great toronto naming contest, i’m also going to suggest “SkyDome Park”.
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
It would be so cool if we could take Wendel Bark to take a crap in Wendel Park

No dog crapping in Wendel Park, please.
Take them across the street to JFJ gulch.

like the Marty Mcsorly dog poop consortium or the bob probert place of deification. Each with the bronzed shitty underwear their namesakes wore when fighting wendel

Awesome.
Thats my new office right beside that park. I would love to spend my lunch hours in “Wendal Park”. When I’m not stalking the Leafs Lunch guys down the hall.
Welcome
Thanks for joining. Now spread the word!
