Poll question: Who will be our YOPP?

Reading to my son tonight and it struck me how prophetic Dr. Seuss was and I Quote:

And, just as he felt he was getting nowhere,
and almost about to give up in despair,
He suddenly burst through a door and that Mayor
Discovered one shirker! Quite hidden away
In the Fairfax Apartments (Apartment 12-J)
A very small, very small shirker named Jo-Jo
Was standing, just standing, and bouncing a YO-YO!
Not making a sound! Not a yipp! Not a chirp!
And the Mayor rushed inside and he grabbed the young twerp!
And he climbed with the lad up the Eiffelberg Tower.

"This," cried the Mayor, "is your town's darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
To come to the aid of their country!" he said.
"We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!"

Thus spoke as he climbed. When they got the the top,
The lad cleared his throat and he shouted out, "YOPP!"

So, who will be our YOPP?
