Convince me why I should vote for you for Mayor of the Lounge.
My issues are law & order, reforming schools, water fluoridation, and ending the kudzu menace. I want to know what are you gonna do for me!

1. I present to you my platform
Law and Order:

I'm against it, myself. But if anybody gives me shit I'll have flvegan break their legs at the knee. Problem solved.

Reforming schools:

I have done my part to improve order in our schools by keeping my kid out of them. You're welcome.

Water flouridation:

The United States Congress awarded the excess money to the American Citizens for income of $350,000.00 a year to each citizen for almost 100 years through EyeSpy Community-Military Intelligence (All Three) Business and Commerce Intelligence.

The kudzu menace:

I think I saw them at the Blue Lamp once. I was kinda drunk so I don't really remember their set.

3. My platform addresses none of those problems.
Edited on Tue Oct-13-09 09:46 PM by LostInAnomie
What it does address though is almost every trivial zombie question or concern, and the expansion of the right to post bodily function threads.

Plus, the fact that all the other candidates are pedophiles. If they deny it, it only makes them lying pedophiles. You can't trust a lying pedophile.

It's just sticky, stinky, stale, and room temperature. But I'm not a proud man.

15. "Low rider" in the automotive sense or "low rider" in the jeans-low-on-the-hips sense?
This is a voting issue, so answer carefully.






























Also, with regard to item #6, does that count solo acts? I'm, uh, asking for a friend.

18. Vote for Me!
Law & Order should never have been moved from 10/9c -- that Leno show sucks

Reform schools -- I will give what my lounge constituents want:


Water Fluoridation: I promise to always use cold water to mix the flour before cooking. The Lounge is never a place for Lumpy Gravy!

As for Kudzu: Harvard studies show that taking Kudzu prior to drinking enhances the alcohol effects while lowering consumption. http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2005/05.19/09-kudzu.html This will allow the lounge to have more frequent parties while cutting spending from the already non-existent budget. It's a win-win!

19. Hmmm...
law & order: Never watched it. I've seen a few of the CSI shows, though.
reforming schools: Why the hell does the Lounge need schools? That's my question to you.
water fluoridation: Seems like a silly issue. Let's work on getting indoor plumbing for the Lounge first, okay?
ending the kudzu menace: If elected, I would outlaw kudzu. The only good kudzu is a stewed kudzu.

Also, if elected I promise:
Nekkid Mondays
More Sex Threads, Less Lockage
Nekkid Tuesdays
Free Kahlua to all Posters
Nekkid Wednesdays
Book Clubs
Nekkid Thursdays
A Weekly Make-Fun-of-flvegan Thread
Nekkid Fridays
Jello Wrestling Tournaments
Nekkid Saturdays
Weekly Chess Tutorials

31. It would seem that on such a blessed day
we should be wearing what the Lord blessed us with when we were born. Nice Stryper plug, Oz Fox. Album sales slow?

26. As to Law & Order,
Edited on Wed Oct-14-09 03:20 PM by KamaAina
I am staunchly pro-Mariska Hargitay. :loveya:

Also, we must preserve the purity of essence of our drinking water! I propose to do this by taking all the kids out of reform school to chop down all the kudzu and throw it in the treatment plants instead of the evil fluoride!

There! My platform is complete! "KamaAina '09: He's Not Just For Hawai'i Any More!"
