UPDATE 2/1/08 4:40 EST: Jacob is working on his acceptance speech. In the meantime, he wanted everyone out there to know that this is how he intends to dance this weekend while in Atlanta:
UPDATE 2/1/08 3:35 EST: WE DID IT! 112 signatures, and Jacob is coming to Atlanta. I just received a text from him saying, “okay, I’m coming.” He said that he would write an acceptance speech to be posted on the website later this afternoon. He is humbled, he feels loved, and he believes in unicorns.
For those of you that would like to meet Jacob, touch his pecs, and see him dance, we will plan a little “meet and greet” for this Saturday night. Stay tuned to the website for details. We’ll go take over a bar somewhere in downtown Atlanta. THANK YOU ALL! Look out for Jacob’s post – coming soon!
UPDATE 2/1/08 3:21 EST: We are only 5 away from reeling this Spanish Mackerel in. Waiting word from Jacob. Looks like he will be in Atlanta this weekend, thanks to everyone that was kind enough to sign the petition. I will let you know when I hear from Jacob. Hopefully he will give a stump speech of some sort. We like you peoples.

UPDATE 2/1/08 2:53 EST: We are at 101, only 11 away from 100 true responses. Where is Jacob? Can we have a response from the man himself? Time to get packing, Mr. Jacob. The people have spoken!
UPDATE 2/1/08 2:39 EST: We are ALMOST THERE! The real number we need is 112, because there are a few duplicates in the mix. Thank you for helping out! You are supporting a noble cause!
UPDATE 2/1/08 2:07 EST: We are approaching the magical number of 100. Jacob has gone silent. Hopefully he is on the phone with Delta.
UPDATE 2/1/08 1:10pm EST: Jacob reports that he just had a ham panini for breakfast, and that HE WILL indeed buy a ticket to Atlanta if we can get this thing to 100 strong.
UPDATE 2/1/08 10:00am EST: The LA Times is reporting that Jacob went to bed early last night, in preparation for his big trip to Atlanta this evening. I’ll post more when I know more, but it look like Jacob is gearing up for his big trip!
Jacob told me that if I can get 100 people to post a comment on photos of him drinking a Whynatte, he would purchase a ticket to come to Atlanta and drink Whynatte’s this weekend. He has a big haircut scheduled for Friday, but he’s willing to cancel it if we can get this thing to 100 comments.
Maybe you’re new to the Whynatte community, here for the first time. Well, welcome. You may not know Jacob, so let me give you a few statistics:
Height: 5’8″
Circumference: 2 hectacres
Favorite cockatil: Whynatte
Favorite movie: The Notebook
Occupation: Freelance mortician
Preferred marsupial: Glider squirell
Best dance move: The “Semetic Scimitar”
Residence: Los Angeles, CA.Based on only some brief stats, you can see why we’d want to have Jacob drinking Whynatte’s in Atlanta this weekend.
Please, I urge you to forward this post to your friends, and ask them to sign my petition to bring Jacob to Atlanta this weekend.
When we speak of Jacob, this is what we’re working with:

Only 99 to go…C’mon people
Make that 98. Put that man on a flight pronto.
whynatte is going to help celebrate the Superbowl this weeknd so what better tie
Jake – step up my boy. your homeland is calling
Jacob-
Stop watching birds and get your ass on a plane. What the hell are you thinking.
Get it together my friend
whynatte?
Jacob,
If you don’t come home, the terrorists will win.
Georgie
Come home Jacob,
Even the president wants you to come home, and he’s smart and stuff.
Simon
Don’t know who Jacob is, but he should go to Atlanta.
94 more… Dry those tears, I’ll drink a Whynatte with you darlin.
come back! Come Back! COME BACK TO ATLANTA
Jacob, I need you!?!?!?
aside from there being not one true statment in that entire post – especially that I everr suggested such an absurd contest – and that you chose to post photos of me at my absolutely most hideously tired, decrepite, and apparently sporting a combover of some sort – I will add to this effort and hereby bring the number to 91. Good luck
Jacob, now you’re just being modest. Tell the kind people about your glider squirell collection…
Oh, and don’t try to back out of this one. Better start shopping for flights, ’cause this thing is going to 100
Do what you’re told, Jacob.
only 52 left. almost half way there.
do it
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Since when does Jacob need to be convinced to rendezvous to the other side of the country to drink frothy lattes?! Jacob, pack up your ass, kiss the benz goodbye and head to Georgia….or I will threaten you with taking your place and having a much better time than you would….
I need a slogan for my hot sauce. I also need to see the swan bowling form. However I will not be in Atlanta this weekend.
Jacob, this is your granny. We have not spoken in many years, but I would like to see you this weekend. You can rub that ointment on me.
100!! I can know chalk the weekend up as a good one since you’ll be in town.
I don’t feel that I got to know you as well as I would’ve liked in high school. This weekend seems like the perfect time to get to know you better.
I have heard a lot about this Jacob guy over the years, and would like the chance to meet him. I will be pretty sad if he does not show up.
Jacob.
Get your ass to Atlanta or I will kick it.
It’s that simple.
My foot is worth 200 signatures, so you have a round trip.
Now…
Hold still…
signed.
yeah!!!!!
Bring the show back to LA, but in the meantime, Jacob take your ass to ATL . . . I’ll watch the Benzo
Jesus, just go.
you should go to atlanta this weekend
Jacob,
If you come to Atlanta I’ll dance with you.
Dude go to hotlanta
Jacob, stitch up the hatchet wound, slap on your flight goggles and hop on the Spruce Moose you Amelia Ehrhart summanabitch.
What’s a girl gotta do!
GET YOUR ASS TO THE ATL!!! I hope I end up there for a short bit in June. If my Ad team wins regionals, you bet we be doing some Whynatte’s in Atlanta!
Jake, things are really starting to percolate here. You need to get up off your ass and get a ticket to Atlanta. It’s rare that so many people come out for a cause, and when they do it’s important to seize the moment.
Give the people what they want, Jake!
Book it
Sadly i am number 37, but it might as well be the most important. This is Johnny Latte!!! I mean DAMN!!! BE HERE!
I’m thinking that Johnny Lattes signature should count as 10
Jacob,
Go to Atlanta. But don’t fly Delta, or you might not make it there by Sunday night *due to (non-existent) “weather delays” *
Sorry, I just drank some Delta Haterade.
-Kate
Go go go go go Jacob!
We’ll hang when you get back for sure…
Curtis demands it, and Curtis don’t be makin demands unless the situation commands it. Or demands it.
Curtis also be demandin that the time zone on these comments reflect the actual time they be posted. Also demandin that this comment counts as a separate one from the one Curtis just made.
Simon Says.
Jacob, you should go. I hear Jes has a bunch of glider squirrels in his closet…illegally held in captivity just for you.
S
I don’t know Jacob, but when i thought about whether he should come to Atlanta or not I thought, “Whynatte?”
Jacob~Go to Atlanta, I mean whynatte?
Also, come visit NYC!
Jacob, look at this ground swell of support for your trip to Atlanta. Just look at all of these people that are behind you, giving you the strength that you need to go on.
Are you going to deny Randi? Will you deny Curtis? What about Laura? Laura doesn’t even know you, and she cares enough about you to encourage your voyage.
Jacob, we here at Whynatte know that this is last minute. We realize this. We need you here this weekend though. Give the people what they want.
Curtis, by the way, each of your comments counts for 3. Oh, and I’ll work on the time zone piece.
you simply must come. feel the love!
GO TO ATLANA!
Step it up Jacob… I mean seriously!
Jacob,
Just buy the ticket….
If you love ThHe Notebook, go see Atonement.
Jake, with all the love and encouragment, you would be a real scmuck if you don’t come. At this point, the weekend’s top stories are 1) Will Jacob reschedule his haircut appointment at QuickClips and appease his numerous fans by comming back to the home land? 2) the Super Bowl. Seriously jake, if I never leave my driveway this weekend, scarely anyone will notice. If you don’t get on that flight, this weekend is a failure.
do it jacob, just do it.
Jesus Jacob – buy the ticket. When did you move to LA?
Sorry guys, Jacob has a haircut scheduled for Saturday. He won’t be able to make it.
Hello
Please come to Atlanta…I would love to meet you and try your new fabulous drink!
-NJS
Hello
Please come to visit Atlanta.
-Natalie Stewart
3 Stewart Girls signed…..done and done.
There is 3 more, how many left?
Good god Jake, you just had three different Stewart sisters sign the petition…how the hell are you going to let a haircut appointment get in the way of drinking Whynattes with the Stewart sisters????
You are all lovely, encouraging people. The truth remains that I never said I would come to Atlanta for any amount of posts and that I hate the Notebook. However, if there are 100 genuine posts by mid afternoon I will book a flight to the dirty. I have said my piece.
And Jesse, stop commenting. You’re anymore skewing the numbers.
Get the ticket. I meen come on Whynatte?
Stegadeath, this is Stiddillyeth, aka Stegasaura. If you don’t come I’ll bombard your radio show with bad jokes and requests for old Dave matthews songs. If fact, i’ll do it one way or the other, so i don’t really care if you come or not.
YOU. MUST. GO.
I am going to Mardi Gras, what better reason to come to ATL, I am not going to be there? wait…
I hear that there will be high speed office chair racing in a new secret spot that Orion built from the ground up just for you.
Jacob, I came to NYC to “meet” you by posing as a professional dart player. I think you owe me. cheers!
do all of jesse’s comments count?
jake, get your ass in atlanta.
your cute ass that is.
I vote Kimberly comes instead of you, Jake. I love that photo!
Jacob, I haven’t seen you in a few years! You have to come to Atlanta to drink Whynattes with me and my girls! Whynatte?!?
Yes, I say it’s a MUST. Jacob to Atlanta NOW!
Jacob, It is imperative that you go!!!!!
Love, Elizabeth
Forget the haircut, Jacob. Bring your gilder squirrels to the ATL & I’ll arrange to have you all properly shorn. You may even wind-up with enough fur for a coat…
Jacob,
You don’t need a haircut, the mop looks good! Got to the ATL instead!
Wendy
Wow, thats all it takes is a little re-sis-tance and you get an entire post dedicated to having a petition to get your ass to ATL. I think I am #75. Poor bastard, I bet they fill the 100 votes required by nap time this afternoon.
Cheers,
WhipDaddy
(currently watching 10 of 20 some inches of snow on its way down)
I’ve seen that video of this guy dancing and he needs to bring those moves down to Atlanta. I won’t be there this weekend, but I know that many lovely ladies will.
Jacob, The people’s vote is IN: Atlanta is expecting you. Get your dancing shoes and come to ATL NOW! Mom (Jesse’s)
i dont know you but you best get your ass to ATlanta
Get on it kid.
comejacob we only meet once but it was great
Mike told me that i would not regret signing this thing… so sign i will
Since Jesse asked me so nicely and you guys are almost to 100…. Come to Atlanta.
Go to the ATL, bro! They’re having awesome weather this week!
So do Jesse’s 12 posts count as 12 or 1?
Oh, and add mine to the list. Go to ATL, you fairy. I’ll invite you to my next wedding.
Do It.
-Sophie
Jacob, go to Atlanta.
Jacob…go to Atlanta NOW!!!!! Jesse will find you some booty!!!
banana cow
Go to Atlanta? Whynatte!!!!
you should probably go to Atlanta.
10 more people!!! (I think) http://www.orbitz.com
Come to Atlanta and make Jesse happy!
ITS TIME TO BUY A TICKET JACOB
ticket time.
as a married man, i beg you to go and have a man’s weekend with your boyz. I can’t go… do it for the kids!
JACOB!!!!
Get your ass back to Atlanta.
I’ll make out with you.
(and so will Orion)
Whynatte?
Okay Jacob…..get the damn ticket!
As a married man you could return the phone calls of one of your groomsmen too, or are you too good for that now Ster?
do it
This is quite an effort to get one man to Atlanta. He should come to Atlanta.
sounds like the people have spoken
SERIOUSLY?!?! Jacob!! Pack up your tampons and bring your ass down here!! JESUS! I know its no fun down here, and there’s nothing to do, and you”ll probably have the worse time but come anyway!
come hither!
I want to meet Jacob!
Do it. Returning the the mecca or homeland of the Whynatte is always a sound policy. Do it.
Superbowl + Whynattes+ ATL = more awesome than Superbowl + whynattes – Atlanta
do it
If I weren’t stuck in Nebraska I would come! Go get ‘em jake
is this #112????? what do I win??? go to Atlanta Jacob!
Jacob-
I hear you enjoy taking walks with Dogs and the occasional Yoga class. We have several woman that you can taint with your alley like demenor.
Wait, this has already happened in Santa Cruz………
On your death bed, you drove a four foot cruiser, so you got that going for you…
make the trek
Jacob- you are wanted in Hotlanta… lucky man…get on it.
I vote no. Stay there, man.
Jesse I already hit this once, but here it is again. Do the flight Jacob.
Jacob! listen to at all of these people and get your ass to atlanta.
Tha ATL!!
Jacob’s flight gets in tonight at 7:20pm. We did it, folks. Thanks for your help. Now lets go drink some Whynattes!
thanks,
yours sincerely,
Amy Dunn
