Chit Chat for ATS Regent Election

hey Neno, I voted for you, did you vote for me?

edit on 6-7-2012 by PurpleChiten because: (no reason given)

Of course - I was number "9", as I recall, way back when.

I gotta wonder what happens in the event of a tie - there weren't any rules set for that. Do we get to be pushed around in a tandem stroller, or what?

A tie breaker vote? Hillbilly rules - two knives and a piece of rope to tie our off hands together?

ohhhhhh a tie would be cool!!!

of course since I'm just going to make everybody a regent and rename it "member" as well as "writer", it wouldn't make a whole lot of difference

....well.... since we're both hillbillies, I guess that's the way we'd have to go!

I'll have to admit...that Chiten is easy on the eye....

But, you mentioned a chocolate field ready for drilling. Could I name my drilling rig The Truffle Titan...if so, we may have a deal...

Des

Your rig - we name it what you want! Since the field is untapped - you get first rights of production as well...

My only concern is. I throw a lot of chocolate fountain parties. Will your projected productions be able to keep up with my lifestyle demands. I feel we are nearing an amicable meeting point. If you can address my concerns, I can place the order for the gold name plaque for my rig.

Example of daily needed production from your chocolate mining fields....

Uhh... I'm going to have to get a ruling from parliament on that one. What happens if, in a co-regency, one of the co-regents makes a unilateral decision of such magnitude while the other dissents? Do we have to get Justice Roberts to weigh in?

hmmmm.... maybe we should go with a coin flip, it's more reliable than Roberts!

that's workable. we can have a specialist flown in from Africa to run production projections - I hear we can find one that never forgets, and will work for peanuts, leaving the profit margins from the chocolate rig production intact.

When you order the plaque, make sure it's not just a gold-foil covered chocolate slab... it might confuse the roughnecks.

If nothing else... the front-runners of the election have done one great thing... they have shattered the stereotype of "hillbilly" for ever more!! (West Virginia vs Kentucky)!!!

Can't get no more "hillbilly" than that!!!

WOOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOT!

....::brewin up some moonshine for the victory party over at the Booze Party headquarters regardless of which one of us wins::...

.... I actually DO know how to do that, along with homemade wine! ....not that I would of course

Coin flips are only half "right", too...

I know how to modify car engines to run on it... between the two of us, we can solve the fuel crisis - as a bonus, it would give a new meaning to "tailgate parties"!

Definitely!!! We've got this!

It's all Good....



Curmudgeon

A curmudgeon's reputation for malevolence is undeserved. They're neither warped nor evil at heart. They don't hate mankind, just mankind's absurdities. They're just as sensitive and soft-hearted as the next guy, but they hide their vulnerability beneath a crust of misanthropy. They ease the pain by turning hurt into humor.....

They attack maudlinism because it devalues genuine sentiment....

Nature, having failed to equip them with a serviceable denial mechanism, has endowed them with astute perception and sly wit.

Curmudgeons are mockers and debunkers whose bitterness is a symptom rather than a disease. They can't compromise their standards and can't manage the suspension of disbelief necessary for feigned cheerfulness. Their awareness is a curse.

Perhaps curmudgeons have gotten a bad rap in the same way that the messenger is blamed for the message: They have the temerity to comment on the human condition without apology. They not only refuse to applaud mediocrity, they howl it down with morose glee. Their versions of the truth unsettle us, and we hold it against them, even though they soften it with humor.
