I don't care what your politics are and please do not voice your candidate specific opinions here. BUT

Please get out and vote. It is a privilege to be able to vote. It is a vital part of any free society.

You may not feel as if your vote counts in the presidential election and feel that you don't need to vote. WRONG. The most important reason you should vote is not the presidential election but the local issues and candidates. This is where Joe Public can really affect his / her own community.

Support your local government....be involved in your local government. You will be amazed at how much the right leadership in your community owerpowers the crappy leadership that we have in the national legislature.

GET OUT AND VOTE TODAY

Posted by: Red-Beard Nov 2 2004, 07:37 AM

Done. 45 minutes, including 1/2 waiting for Poll to open. Long line to vote behind me...

Posted by: Jeroen Nov 2 2004, 07:50 AM

Yes, please go and vote.
And please, please, please, vote with your brain.
Don't vote for the guy with the cutest smile or the best one-liners or because that's what your dad votes.
Think about what YOU want for your country (for your own personal reasons) and vote for that...

Good luck!

Posted by: Lawrence Nov 2 2004, 08:00 AM

Yep. GO VOTE. You people love to argue politics - now go make your actions match your words!!

We're lucky in Kansas that people are allowed 5 choices for president, plus a write-in.

Strangely enough.... I have never voted before. I've never cared enough about politics to vote.

I voted for the first time nearly a month ago. Now more than ever it is of such importance.

The fact that I'm active duty Air Force for the past 11 years has great bearing on what my decision was.

It all boils down to change. If you believe what we are doing is right, vote accordingly. If you believe the country is headed in the right direction, vote accordingly. If you believe that everything is just fine, and our military are dying for noble causes....... then vote for the candidate who believes no change is necessary.

If you believe we need a drastic change, now........ vote accordingly.

Either way, voice your opinions, voice your beliefs, and express your right as an American. Do it today..... right now.

Bush campaign confirms STICKERS too hard to get. The RNC has issued the following statement: "Rhodyguy (kevin powers) insists on using the USPS and requires the purchaser to address 2 envelopes. This archaic and cumbersome program has resulted in anxiety and frustration for those members unfamiliar with ball point pens, stamps, and the previously mentioned envelopes". President Bush stated, " My opponent seems to have no grasp of the importance of Paypal. My supporters are too busy checking new postings at 914world.com, while at work, to open a desk drawer and take out 2 envelopes". "If you elect me today, I will promise to focus all of the power, of all the governmental agencys, of the United States of America, to remedy this tiresome issue".

Posted by: ninefourteener Nov 2 2004, 10:21 AM

Anyone seen the recent episode of South Park??

Basically, it was a representation of the election process, shown through a school election of a new school mascot.

One choice was a giant douch..... the other was a turd sandwich.

The moral of the story is that even if you're not completely happy with your choice of candidates, you must pick the lesser of 2 evils and express your right to vote.

It was quite entertaining... I recommend you watch it, it helped "lighten" my mood.

I voted last week. I like the fact that here in oregon we can vote by mail. no waiting in line, and the ballot comes right to your mail box.

I think that Trey and Matt (south park) hit the nail right on the head with that episode.

I also have to say that hopefully this election goes a little smoother than 4 years ago and we don't have to wait 2 months to find out who our next pres. will be.

That's it from me.

Voted on the way to work this morning. No matter how disgusted I am with the candidates, I never miss an election. Even if I am picking between the lesser of several evils, someone is at least seemingly less evil. I just hope it doesn't end up in an electoral tie - tossing this thing to the Congress is my worst nightmare!

Posted by: ninefourteener Nov 2 2004, 11:08 AM

It was a comical, light-hearted political satire.

I hardly think it swayed anyones political motivation--LOL

Nevertheless, I "believe" the way they portrayed it was with Kerry as the giant douch, and Bush was the turd sandwich..... even though the episode never actually said that..... thats just the impression I got.

It was funny.... everyone should try to catch it.. even if you're not a huge South Park fan

When we visited last night, there were only 4 boys. And about 3 hours since her last pup. The agreement Brian and I had was we could keep a girl. So as we're laying in bed last night, we were contemplating the idea of keeping a boy. This morning I get an email from mom's owner, and a fifth pup was popped out at 12:10 this morning! A girl!!! I'm pretty sure she's the one we're taking home. I can't wait to meet her.
And, yes, she'd be Snoop's little girl.

Guys, Kerry is going to win. The Redskins proved this point last week when they played Green Bay. The redskins home game before every election day since they have been in DC has accurately predicted the election outcome, if they win, the incumbent stays.

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one -- big hitter, the Lama -- long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga...gunga -- gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I'll take a kilo, 2.2 lbs that is, no mexican dirt weed damnit

I want the good shit

and keep the sticks and bones too!

Well when I landed in Kalifornia
I hardly got to see LA
They shaped us up and called the roll
and off we went on a long patrol
Swappin' lies, swattin' flies,
firing the odd shot here and there

Captain called a halt one night
And we had chow by the pale moon light
A lovely dinner they planned for us
With a taste like a seat on the crosstown bus
Some of the veterans just left theirs layin' in the can
For the Democrats to find
Said it was deadlier than a land mine

Well naturally somebody told a joke
and a couple of fellows began to smoke
I took a whiff as a cloud rolled by
And my nose went up like an infield fly
Captain, he's a blonde fellow, went to Yale looked up at
me and said "What's a matter with you, baby" (you're supposed to
sound very ghetto at this point)

Well I may be crazy, but I think not;
swear to God that I smell pot!
but who'd have pot in Kalifornia?"
he said, "Whaddaya think you been sittin' on?"
these funny little plants....
thousands of them.
good God Almighty!
pastures of plenty!

So we all lit up and by and by
The whole platoon was flying high
With a beautiful smile on the captains face
He smelled like midnight on St. Marks Pl.
Crackin' jokes, cleaning his weapon,
chanting something about Hari Krishna, Hari Krishna

Well the moment came
as it comes to all
That I had to answer nature's call
I was stumbing around in a beautiful haze
When I met a little cat in black pj's
He had a rifle, BF Goodrich sandals,
Looked up at me and said "What's the matter with you, baby"
(sounding just like the captain)

He said we're camping down the pass
And smelled you people blowing grass
And since, by the smell, you're smoking trash
I brought you a taste of a special stash
Straight from Schwartznegars victory garden
We call it SF Gold.

So his squad and my squad settled down
Passed some lovely stuff around
All too soon it was time to go
Captain got on the radio
Said hello headquarters, headquarters
We have met the enemy and they have been smashed.

This blonde is in the middle of a field, in a rowboat, just giving it hell, and another blonde pulls up along side her, and says, "It's bitches like you who give us all a bad name!".

The blonde put down the oars, and said, "You're lucky I can't swim, bitch! I'd get out of this boat, and kick your ass!".

While digesting Reader's Digest
In the back of a dirty book store,
A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the floor.
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
Slapped it on my window shield,
And if I could see old Betsy Ross
I'd tell her how good I feel.

Chorus:
But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.

Well, I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier he said to me,
"If you join the Christmas club
We'll give you ten of them flags for free."
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
I took him up on what he said.
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife's forehead.

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I got my window shield so filled
With flags I couldn't see.
So, I ran the car upside a curb
And right into a tree.
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead.
And I'll never understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...

"But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
We're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more."

So much for stickers

Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And we walked off to look for America
Cathy I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera
Toss me a cigaret I think there's one in the raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenary she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
Cathy I'm lost I said though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America

The planet Spaceball has run out of air and have very little time left. Under the command of President Skroob and the evil Dark Helmet, they set out to break through the atmospheric shield of nearby Druidia and rob their air.

Their plan is to kidnap the Druidia princess Vespa and use her to get the code to release the shield. However, before Helmet can kidnap her, she is rescued by Lone Starr – who has taken the job to get enough money to pay off the ruthless Pizza the Hutt.

yo mike -- If this were a political thread, I'd point out something like "republicans ain't really conservatives. (i.e. gi-normous deficit/etc) W's bunch is what are termed "neoConservatives" -- (and you need to say that down your nose if you are in the Pat Roberts-camp) -- or in any overly-fiscally-conservative camp for that matter."

Thank &deity. this isn't a political thread! Princess Bride -- rocks. Monty Python -- rocks. Can add one bit from Steve Martin (LA Story -- has moments of hysteria if you are CA based) and if you drag out ROS, you will commence mentioning Cheech&Chong.

No problem. Everyone can use a bit of puppy in their lives. I call it fuzz therapy (so does Calvin )

In other news, it's nice to see so many of us are so well versed in Monty Python. I didn't expect it. I was introduced to it in one of my literature classes in middle school. My brother reinforced it, along with hitchhiker's guide. Awesome movies. We always did sketches of these in my drama classes. But that's about as far as my british humor goes. I don't get those "Are you being served?" and "Absolutely Fabulous" types. Trigger happy is funny though.

And now here's a parrot...

Mrs. Conclusion (Chapman): Hullo, Mrs. Premise.

Mrs. Premise (Cleese): Hullo, Mrs. Conclusion.

Conclusion: Busy Day?

Premise: Busy? I just spent four hours burying the cat.

Conclusion: *Four hours* to bury a cat?

Premise: Yes - it wouldn't keep still.

Conclusion: Oh - it wasn't dead, then?

Premise: No, no - but it's not at all well, so as we were going to be on the safe side.

Conclusion: Quite right - you don't want to come back from Sorrento to a dead cat. It'd be so anticlimactic. Yes, kill it now, that's what I say. We're going to have to have our budgie put down.

Premise: Really - is it very old?

Conclusion: No, we just don't like it. We're going to take it to the vet tomorrow.

Premise: Tell me, how do they put budgies down, then?

Conclusion: Well, it's funny you should ask that, because I've just been reading a great big book about how to put your budgie down, and apparently you can either hit them with the book, or you can shoot them just there, just above the beak.

Premise: Just there? Well, well, well. 'Course, Mrs Essence flushed hers down the loo.

Conclusion: No, you shouldn't do that - no, that's dangerous. They *breed* in the *sewers*!

Man, I'm there. What the Hell happened? Let's get back to the issues.

I voted. Just before the polls closed. Many people wonder why so late. There are many important CA legislative positions and initiatives that it does not matter how late one votes. We all know that Kerry will win in CA. But I value my votes for the local issues.

(Sound: Church bells, lots of them, ringing.)



Man: I wish those bloody bells would stop.

Wife: Oh, it's quite nice dear, it's Sunday, it's the church.

M: What about us atheists? Why should we 'ave to listen to that sectarian turmoil?

W: You're a lapsed atheist, dear.

M: The principle's the same. The Mohmedans don't come 'round here wavin' bells at us! We don't get Buddhists playing bagpipes in our bathroom! Or Hindus harmonizing in the hall! The Shintus don't come here shattering sheet glass in the shithouse, shouting slogans-

W: All right, don't practice your alliteration on me.

M: Anyway, when I membership card and blazer badge back from the League of Agnostics, I shall urge the executive to lodge a protest against that religious racket! Pass the butter knife!

W: WHAT??

M: PASS THE BUTTER KNIFE!! (pause) THANK YOU! IF ONLY WE HAD SOME KIND OF MISSILE!

W: 'OLD ON, I'LL CLOSE THE WINDOW.

M: WHAT?!

W: I SAID, I'LL CLOSE THE WINDOW!



(Sound: Window closing, bells get faint, but are still there)



M: If only we had some kind of missile, we could take the steam out of those bells.

W: Well, you could always use the number 14-St. Joseph-the-somewhat-divine-on-the-hill ballistic missile. It's in the attic.

M: What ballistic missile would this be, then?



(Sound: Bells begin to get increasingly louder)



W: I made it for you, it's your birthday present!

M: Just what I wanted, 'ow nice of you to remember, my pet.

'ERE!

W: WHAT?

M: THOSE BELLS ARE GETTING LOUDER!

W: WHAT?

M: THOSE BELLS ARE GETTING LOUDER!!

W: THE BELLS ARE GETTING LOUDER! OOOH, LOOK!

M: WHAT?

W: THE CHURCH, IT.. ITS COMING CLOSER! ITS COMING DOWN THE 'ILL!

M: WHAT A LIBERTY!

W: ITS TURNING INTO OUR LANE! WELL, YOU BETTER GO PUT IT OUT OF IT'S MISERY.

M: WHERE'S THIS MISSILE, THEN?

W: IT'S IN THE ATTIC. PRESS THE BUTTON MARKED CHURCH!

M: 'OW DO I AIM IT?

W: IT AUTOMATICALLY HOMES IN ON THE NEAREST PLACE OF WORSHIP!

M: BUT THAT'S ST. MARKS!

W: IT ISN'T NOW, LOOK!! OH, ITS OP'NING THE GATE.

M: WHAT? USE THE MEGAPHONE!

W: IT'S OP'NING THE GATE!! 'HURRY UP, ITS TRAMPLING OVER THE AZALIAS!



(Sound: Missle launch, explosion, bells diminish)



M: Did I 'it it?

W: Yes, right up the aisle.

M: Well I've always said, There's nothing an agnostic can't do if he really doesn't know whether he believes in anything or not.

Posted by: ThinAir914 Nov 2 2004, 11:20 PM

I missed that episode of Monty Python - the first time I ever heard the term "Budgie" was in a very funny movie called "Rat". It's about an Irish guy who turns into a rat and how his family deals with it. It may not sound like it, but it's hilariously funny - highly recommended!

Posted by: SpecialK Nov 3 2004, 03:06 AM

History of the World: Part I (Mel Brooks) and Monty Python's Life of Brian would make a good double feature (Monty Python literally caught "Hell" for that movie )

Posted by: tdgray Nov 3 2004, 06:48 AM

I see I missed most of the fun after I left work

Thanks guys for lightening everything up.

Oh and Mer you have just received your formal education on all things quotable in the movies.

This weekend is:

1) History of the world Part I

2) Monty Python ; The Holy Grail

3) Blazing Saddles

I think that will have to be it or I won't get anything else done.

Thanks to all of you that voted. If you don't think your vote counts....well look at Ohio.

Posted by: Meredith Nov 3 2004, 11:01 AM

As soon as I have the time, I swear I'll watch those movies. But right now, I have to go to class, then work, then the grocery store, then help cook Dad's birthday dinner. Today's going to be a tad busy.

I agree with Mer, I won't say who we voted for, but the election process always amazes me. I think Kerry is wise to not fight and drag this out. But doesn't it take a few weeks to get all the absentee ballots counted?

Posted by: type11969 Nov 3 2004, 11:40 AM

I think at this point even if the majority of the absentee ballots were for Kerry, he still wouldn't win.

Posted by: SLITS Nov 3 2004, 11:47 AM

For the non-winners:

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...____ you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

Hi,
Just a quick note to thank you all for a wild and fun rollercoaster of a thread for the last day and a half. Amid all the consternation over voting, politics and such, it was a relief to check in here and be amazed at the mix of thoughts, observations and humor each of you posted.

Several times our receptionist wondered about the laughter coming from my office. It was nothing I could explain to her.

The creativity of this group is contagious.
