As I’m sure you know, what happens to you in high school will haunt you for the rest of your life. I was just chatting with Warren Buffett the other day. He’s still bitter about the Junior Spring Cotillion when Janey Neuman wouldn’t dance with him because she was taller than him. Well, it wasn’t THE Warren Buffett, the billionaire. It was my friend Warren Buffett the arborist. The point is that it COULD have been THE Warren Buffett the billionaire, and you would totally believe the story.*

I’ll let you in on a little secret. There are some of us here at Kayak who were not exactly popular in high school. So we built this great travel web site and now we fly around the world in gold-plated private jets, sipping Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 1990 and eating truffle sandwiches.**

But all we really want is to be popular, to be one of the cool kids. So, please, vote for us in the People’s Choice Webby Awards, Travel Category. Do it for all the poor Warren Buffetts who got dissed by Janey Neuman.

* OK, I made the whole thing up, I don’t even know anybody named Warren, or Buffett.

** I made that up too. We fly coach, drink Sunny-D and eat Double Chocolate Pop Tarts.***

*** OK, fine, everything in this post is fabricated, except for the Pop Tarts and the Webby Awards. Please vote for us.
