Day 127

So, I voted today, I hope you have or will. I only had to wait about 10 minutes, so don't let the threat of long lines dissuade you. And you can get some free stuff.

How awesome is that? That you can exercise your constitutional right to vote, and you get rewarded for it. What can you get? According to USAToday, not only a free cup of coffee from Starbucks (totally gonna do that by the way) or a free donut from Krispy Kreme, but way more. Check it out:

•Coffee. Starbucks expects to hand out "hundreds of thousands" of free 12-ounce drip coffees (valued at about $1.75 each), says spokeswoman Jenny McCabe. "If everyone who votes comes in for a free cup of coffee, we'll have some lines," she says.

•Doughnuts. Some 85 of Krispy Kreme's 231 locations in the U.S. will hand out star-shaped, red-white-and-blue sprinkled doughnuts "while supplies last," says spokesperson Dana Hughens. The chain will give out about 200,000 doughnuts valued at 99 cents each. "People are definitely talking about the brand as a result of this," she says.

•Ice cream. Between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. in each time zone, Ben & Jerry's ice cream shops will hand out single-scoop ice cream cones (a $3.40 value). "What better way to encourage people to be politically active than to give away free ice cream?" asks spokeswoman Liz Brenna.

•Sandwiches. In a local market promotion, several hundred of the nation's 1,400 Chick-fil-A stores will hand out $2.70 chicken sandwiches to adults who show proof that they voted, says spokesman Jerry Johnston.

•Phone calls. Credo Mobile, a wireless company that donates money to progressive causes for calls its customers make, will offer free outbound calls to current customers during polling hours in their states. The cost could be about $250,000, says spokeswoman Becky Bond.

•Discount haircuts. Then, there's Cristophe Schatteman, a top hair stylist known for giving former president Bill Clinton a $200 haircut on Air Force One. His salons in Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Beverly Hills and Orange County, Calif., will offer all services — including haircuts — at half price today. A $500 haircut from Cristophe will go for $250.

I also checked StLToday.com, but they didn't have anything else that was special to St. Louis. But you can totally get a donut, then a chicken sandwich, then a cup of coffee, all for free (if you vote).

By the way, if you live in the 67th District, write me in for State Representative. I did.

Task o' The Day: Easy. Go vote. I don't care who for, just vote. Then get some free stuff.

Here is my picture, you may notice my "I voted" sticker, and the lack of stache. I shaved it to prepare for National Beard Month.
