Announcing the first ever Mike Toole Essay Contest. The contest is open to all ages and you can enter as many times as you want. Topics for essays will be a question that is heavy on my mind and I can't think of the answer.

The first essay topic is, "Why is Vin Diesel famous?"

Please answer in 15 words or less. You must provide a reason and some proof to back it up. For example, if you say, "Because the movie-going American public is retarded," you must provide me with an example of that, like a picture of some retarded people going to see "The Fast and the Furious."

Please submit your answers to tooleblog@yahoo.com.

Winners will win an all expenses paid trip to anywhere in the continental United States, courtesy of their imagination.
