*cough* as I stated before...

You get Ninja tacos, fire, bites, and If elected, there will be a pet-dinosaur in every pocket.


Vote parrhesia and Lysergic.

But if we lick the toads, will we hear pictures and see sounds?

Moreover, you have left the question of monkey butlers unanswered.

Your voters await a campaign promise.*




*Which, per tradition, you must break within 100 days of taking office.

Yeah, who is fretling? Strange. I looked back and saw it wasn't Valhall.

fretling is my daughter

Best bit of politiking to date!
Withdraw and endorse

Just like real life. Gotta love it.

Later the I.O.U.s come due.

JoeDoaks thank you for not only stepping up to be the epitome of the tripe, petty, paranoic mind I was referring to...but for finally completing the set now known as "my ignore list is full!"

-and-

As JoeDoink has pointed out - it's not a matter of the past. It swirls like a turd in the toilet bowl as we speak.

Tsk, tsk Val deliberately got my name wrong as a slam-

Got caught using another persons account

Now the spin starts- 'it is my daughters'

Rumsfeld should have used that line.

This IS real poltricks. This is the out in open stuff.

Conspiratorially, what lay under the rug or behind the curtain? Is Major Delimma or General Confusion going to show up for a press briefing- the drama (brings back memories or crackers and things)

Gotta love politicians. If its not one thing its another.

I also loved Val's husband's post DO NOT FRET!!!!

Talk about some signals

I still remember Cheney: 'it's my daughter' (that was him, right?)

ps- a toad is still a toad, it ain't no dinosaur

Reread my post. A dinosaur in every pocket is a promise if there ever were one.



As to the licking of toads; it's irrelevant, given the tradition of having broke the promise within 100 days of taking office.

The Monkey Problem

Monkeys are not a problem, those that wish to oppress us embellish a little poo flinging into an international crisis.

Monkeys need representation, and are an increasing minority that will have to be recognized, and accommodated.

Squeaky Wheel monkeys, not just for getting greased anymore...

The Most Reluctant Candidate

God, I feel like such a yutz campaigning in light of my skepticism, but oh well...

Majic's Positions On Issues That Matter To YOU

Ninjas - Ninjas are cool. Free shurikens to all Majic voters.*

The Monkey Problem -- The problem is not enough monkeys. I will encourage an increase in monkey populations on ATS.

Robots (pro-robot or pro-humon) -- Pro-Cyborg. Cyborgs are part human, part robot. The perfect compromise position for any politician. Not to be confused with The Borg, who work for Microsoft.

Tiny Cowboys -- Tiny cowboys need tiny cows and tiny rodeos. I will ensure adequate levels of government funding for both.

Giant Spiders -- They are creepy, but need love too -- especially if they can vote. If you are a giant spider and feel left out, I feel your pain. Vote Majic, and spell “Some Majic” with your webs.

Tiny Cowboys riding Giant Spiders -- Amusing, but only if the spiders agree, and the cowboys wear proper safety attire.

Clowns -- A clown killed my father. Clowns must be banished. Down with clowns!**

Manifest Base Policy -- All your base are belong to ATS.

Shift Keys -- sHIFT KEYS ARE OBSOLETE1

Kids today -- Are almost as bad as kids those days. FACT: Kids today are 14% better than when I was a kid.

Majic Weighs In On Linguistic Pandering

Specifically...

l33t -- majic = teh r0xx0r -=ub3r1337 h4xx0r=-
jpeg -- [Error 128: Magic number not found at 0xFFFFFFEF.]
Engrish -- Vote Majic.
and 'Mer'cun Dam'bit -- I will defer to my running mate, Gumby, for that one.

God, I am SUCH a whore.



*Offer not valid online or anywhere else. Subject to exclusions and limitations. See dealer for details.

** A clown did not technically kill my father, who is also not technically dead. Nonetheless, if you are a clown, Vote Majic, because the other clowns hate you even more than I do. At least I am not proposing Clown Genocide. Yet. Vote Majic for District 4.

P.S. parrhesia is still dodging the monkey butler question, and I'm pretty sure those toads are not the psychedelic kind. Fair warning, citizens!

Edit: On advice of legal counsel. I would have said more, but The Man is keeping me down. Fight the oppressors!

Joe, I'm a bit curious what your issue is here?

Are you suggesting that relatives of our Members or Staff should not be permitted to utilize ATS?

I believe you are the proof of Val's statement. There will be drama, and it's very sad, because as a rather long time member here I know she would have been good. It's a pity some people have to ruin things for others.

The fact that her daughter is a member bothers you? Get over it.

[edit on 5-25-2005 by Djarums]

Vote Ninja!

Ninja powah!

Oh my - it's probably best I don't know what he said about my daughter (thank you my friendly happy button), but wonder what kind of drivel he's going to spout when he finds out my son is a member too?

www.abovetopsecret.com...

As a matter of fact - I think I'll borrow one of my son's phrases at this point...

I'd rather masturbate with sandpaper than suffer the ocular pain of reading further JoeDoakian drivel.

VOTE NERDLING FOR ATSNN!
VOTE PARRHESIA FOR AT LARGE!
VOTE YCON FOR DISC!
VOTE LYSERGIC FOR BTS!

The campaign continues...

That sounds painful!

Continue it does

Rats!

I voted for Val in 2 different categories.

I'll have to check out the endorsements.

BTW - Yes, I did vote for someone (not Val) with whom I disagree almost all of the time. Well-framed and logical arguments matter more than points of view.

Did I say that? NO

I pointed out the Val is using someone else's account.

This is politics?

Nope- even Rumsfeld hasn't stepped in under a mask, even though he has used proxies.

Are you (a MOD) defending her actions? Is that the jest of your query?

Ruin things?

Rise above it- that is politics. 'Let the games begin' Isn't that the cry?

Now it is passed tense because 'one of your own' got outed? That's what happens in politics isn't it?

When someone becomes a public person they leave their closet doors wide open.

As to would Val have been good at the job, that is a moot question now as she is out of any race.

Should she re-enter then her postings and off-board tie-ins are fair game once again.

As to 'getting over it,' many of you folks need to look in a mirror. If SO was genuine (and I have no reason to doubt him), then all Val and you by extension are doing is proselytizing for a few members at the expense of others. Fine by me.

This may be like a John Birch endorsement from many years past, the kiss of political-death.

Now who out there wants ME to publicly endorse them
(who will make me an offer to endorse someone else )

Remember, this is just the primaries. The general election is coming up and things could really get 'interesting.'

All candidates need to review their posts- know where you've been. Know where your backers have been as well!

I LOVE democracy

Now it is passed tense because 'one of your own' got outed?

You know what Joe... I've been a member of ATS for two and a half years now, of which about a month has been as a moderator. Do not tell me who is one of my own. Much appreciated.

Secondly, perhaps if you'd stop wasting your own time with this fruitless attack you'd realize that most people are fully aware Val and Springer are married and fretling is their daugther. That is why when I read her letter I was not wondering "uh why is this posted from fretling not valhall". It's not a terrible shock. You personally have made it into an incident. It is no one else's fault that you didn't know that. Now you do, so why continue the show?

then all Val and you by extension are doing is proselytizing for a few members at the expense of others. Fine by me.

Inventing reality is fun isn't it? I have done nothing for anyone regarding this election. I have cast my own votes. I have made zero recommendations and discussed nothing about it. It is not my show. I am a voting participant as you are, and nothing more. It is a shame that you make statements about such things without understanding that this isn't some "secret mod people" vs. "us normal people" issue.

There seems to always be someone that drags dirt into all campaigns. It's not a problem. Most people have voted already and the part of this experiment I am most interested in is how the Council itself functions and what it accomplishes. The mudslinging is of no interest to me.

Enjoy whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.

I left out AYB as not to be a complete geek.

No, You pointed out your own near sighted stupidity in a bid to slander someone. Congratulations, you have single handedly made the entire forum base more idiotic.

Are you (a MOD) defending her actions? Is that the jest of your query?

Seriously, Most people refer to this as delusional.

Main Entry: de·lu·sion
Pronunciation: di-'lü-zh&n, dE-
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin delusion-, delusio, from deludere
1 a : the act of deluding : the state of being deluded b : an abnormal mental state characterized by the occurrence of psychotic delusions
2 a : something that is falsely or delusively believed or propagated b : a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self

Ive taken the liberty of underlining the ones applying to yourself. Maybe that way you wont skip over the facts again.

Now who out there wants ME to publicly endorse them

Im sure the ACLU and National Gay Pride Committee will take you in.

Should she re-enter then her postings and off-board tie-ins are fair game once again.

*EDIT rude remark* When someone posts via a message board, they are soley communicating their thoughts and projecting their persona. What there "Off-board tie ins" are shouldnt matter.

People like you is what ruined high school for me. You could turn apple pie into anthrax cake. You cant leave well enough alone so you invent and conspire to create your own reality in which you, and you alone dwell to spew forth your male cow feces.
