I'm totally not caught up this is a run through really quick. Had to rush up to my mom & dad's house. Dad was out working in a cell phone dead zone so mom called me when she fell and hurt herself. We're back from the urgent care with 7 stitches above her eye, a broken toe and some other scrapes and bangs.... Could've been much worse! So I'm off again....

I hope she gets better soon!

MEASURES

Measure 42

This measure will create a new governmental department called "Smilie Immigration Reform". Under this department, all smilies, regardless of their original homeland, will be indoctrinated and documented for permanent citizenship within the Lounge. The Director of SIR will be nominated by the President and will be appointed by a majority vote of eligible voters of the Lounge.

• __X!!!X_ Yes, create this Department
  
• ___ No, don't create this Department because I'm a low down Smilie bigot.

Measure 1,248

Under this measure, Jamie will cease talking about his grooming habits.

• __X_ Yes, please, Dear God, please yes.
  
• ___ No, because it upsets Jenn so.

Measure ß

This will create a governmental oversight committee that will regulate Zane's fiery matchstick head. It will measure the BTU output and set parameters on how much candle-watt power he can emit on any given hour.

• ____ Yes, because this kind of Big Brother Activity warms my anally retentive heart.
  
• __X__ No. Geez, who thinks this stuff up?

Measure Q

This measure will change the name of the nation "Uzbekistan" to be "Larry" because Larry is so much easier to say and spell.

• ____ Yes, and, while you're at it, do something about Massachesetts or Connecticut.
  
• __X__ No. Just no. I'm plainly disagreeable. And besides, if you change the name, how will you do when you'll want to talk about the -stan nations?? (Uzbeki-, Tadjiki-, Afghani-, Paki-, Turkmeni-, Khirgyzhi-,...)

Measure Grady Blinkblatz

This measure will allow legal citizens of the Lounge to openly confess that they think that the Eagles of the '70's sound more and more like Country Western music as time goes on.

• ____ Yes. Desperado? C'mon.
  
• ____ No. Rock legends, and I'm in denial.
  
• __X__ Eagles? Where? wouldn't this be dangerous for the mouse who wants to be prez?

Measure *

This measure will grant the president of the Lounge the ability, without oversight, to bring her husband and all other Lounge members a beer whenever the urge hits.

• ____ Yes, dang, that man needs a beer.
  
• __X__ No, it should be expanded to included Starbucks and the occasional Tequila Sunrise.

Measure f/2.8

The voting in of this measure will end the ongoing debate over the annunciation of the word "bokeh" to be BOE-kah.

• ____ Yes, let's just end this.
  
• __X__ No, because I'm argumentative and fundamentally wrong.

I am firmly on the Permie / Cat ticket and am real busy in photoshop making a green card so I can vote next Tuesday......

We have been following the election with great interest over here ( as we should in the 51st State) and other than the selection of Sarah Palin it has really lacked humour. We British can't understand anything unless we can laugh at it.

The US has a bit of a reputation for not doing irony well, I think that is unfounded because when they do do irony they do it extremely well and at last I have found something that makes me laugh at this election (and to be honest also makes me cry as it applies to politics universally)

So HERE you have it from of JibJab

Yep, I'll be there soon. It's only a couple days now. And I haven't even started packing yet.

Heck, for a road/flight type trip I don't start packing until a couple hours before. When headed to the back country, it is at least a day ahead in case an food/gear needs to be purchased. They don't seem to have to many places to buy emergency stuff out there. Lisa always starts packing well in advance for the road/flight type trips and ends up changing/adding/forget​ting stuff at the last minute anyway.

Me, stupid time change...

I a SO with you Steve. I got up this morning and went, "oh, 4:00, at least I got a good 5 hours of sleep", only to get on the computer and realize it was only 3:00. I just wish they would quit messing with me. At least I will be able to see outside in the mornings now.

snow is soooo not a swear word!!!! I would give my left ummmm b**b to live in Montana or Alaska. Somewhere were there is ALOT of snow! I just like the cold.

So, I guess you really like the colder climates then.

But, you missed a whole schwack of good country between those two states.

Make me up one of those cards too Neil.

That video is hilarious, and quite close to how I conceive what is going on too.

Well I'm actually paying the house payment, and to be in a state where you don't have much now is a god send

Hi Lonnie, how's things? You're headed up to see Cat pretty soon, eh? Time flies, can't believe 2008 is quickly coming to a close.


I get like that too, I start reading and that usually puts me out, sometimes with keyboard rash, lol.

Hi Jamie, any snow yet?

I wish!!!

Jamie Holladay wrote in post #6606644
NOPE. But I have my gloves and coat ready for it. but I will have to go to the grocery and buy milk and bread.

OMG They do that in Alabama too!?!?!?!

webcrawlur wrote in post #6606649
Now? Kinda late, no?

Doood....

Woolburr wrote in post #6606666
Don't forget the TP.

Oh yeah can't be without that either

Jamie Holladay wrote in post #6606675
I guess that is a Southern or Alabama thing. If the weather man says it is going to snow, everyone rushes to the grocery to get milk and bread. I think it is stupid but people do it.

Yeah that too.

Yeah that^^^^ But it is NOT limited to Southern Alabama! They do it in Western NC and Upstate SC at the first mention of the word snow!!!!!!!!!!

Jamie Holladay wrote in post #6606790
What is sleep?

Yeah no kidding right!? As I type here wide awake WAY before it was truly necessary! UGH!

ummmm


yeah!!! ^^^^


okay so you don't make the house payment ($200 would make 1/6 of my house payment).

If I could figure out a way to stay warm and not freeze my arse off all winter long, I'd be all about the snow and cold.... but because winter is the time of year where I remain perpetually cold and shivering... I'll pass. Although I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have the type of snow Jamie mentioned at least ONCE this winter!!!

It's quiet in here!!!! And I'm wide awake... and Well I need entertainment! I suppose I could just run amok in here... but amoking isn't as much fun alone...

I'm here, Jenn. I keep jumping in and out of the room and I do some keywording in the background. Go ahead and amok.

Do it nekkid, and post the video. This place will liven up in no time.

On the other hand, if I did that the place would likely shut down.
