Oops, maybe this shoulda been on fuego, but....



I tell the truth.
I recognize BS as such and will call it out.
I have my own views on stuff, but will listen to both sides and use common sense to make decisions.


'Nuff said?

"both sides"??

Shouldn't that be all 99 sides?

By the way, you have my vote.

I think Mr. Hyde just said he wants to be my running mate as VP.


Good point, MarkO, and for that, I just put you on "ignore." Just kidding!

May I suggest a campaign slogan?

Bowlderman:
1) where do you stand on the sidewalk issue?

2) which side of the fence issue are you on?

3) did you have sex with that woman?

4) if you wew a twee, what kind of twee would you be?

How about another slogan?

Haha! With Roam's slogan and Mr. Hyde as a running mate, I don't see how you could lose.

Noncon:

1) On the corner

2) The side with the greener grass

3) I think so

4) A wedwood


So far, the slogans aren't that great. Here's some info for my campaign staff (you!) to work on to come up with a better one:

1) I've never cheated on my taxes.
2) I've never paid anyone illegally to perform work at my house.
3) I got building permits for our remodeling project.
4) I don't have any illegitimate children (that I know of)

Yo, Bowlder, I'm here to give your thread some action.
What kind of coalition can you build between the red and blue? Can you make us all purple?

Hmmmm, I've never smoked dope (really!), so I have to claim ignorance on that topic. I'll consult with Mr. Hyde on that one, since he has occasionally drooled on a catnip-infused toy mouse.


For the color thing, I'm a white guy; we often talk about the red, white, and blue; so maybe that makes me the perfect one to hold together the USofA? Not sure who the red and blue guys are, though - the Indians and the suffocating? Wait a sec - just remembered that I'm part Indian. Maybe I'm more pink than white. Aw heck, I'll talk with Hyde about that one, too....

So Mr. Hyde is the Wacko Libertarian with a shady past?   Hey, you don't have to suffocate anybody.... you could just hold your breath.   Or you could get The Blues.

You could hire the Blue Man Group to entertain at one of the Presidential Balls (prolly don't wanna go there with that.....)

Me, I always go with the Classics ----


Om mane padme om.....
Om mane padme om.....


Folding the flag means taking care of the nation.
Folding the flag is putting it to bed for the night.

I fell through a hole in the flag.....

I'm falling through a hole in the flag.....

Halp........... !


Don't put it down... !
Best one around... !

Crazy for the red, blue and white
Crazy for the red, blue and white

You look at me,
What do you see?

Crazy for the white, red and blue
Crazy for the white, red and blue

‘Cause I look different
You think I'm subversive… !

Crazy for the blue, white and red
Crazy for the blue, white and red

My heart beats true…
For the red, white and blue… !

Crazy for the blue, white and red
Crazy for the blue, white and red

And yellow… fringe… !
Crazy for the blue, white, red and Yellow!!

You guys are freakin' me out. If I were president right now, I'd send the secret service over to "introduce" themselves to you.

Either that or Mr. Hyde would email you a hairball.

I noticed the pollsters missed the mark by around 15% in the New Hampshire Dem primary. That means I could conceivably already have as much as 15% of the vote, right?

My Director of Young People's Jargon, BowlderSon, informed me that "dude" is a sex-neutral term now. This is confirmed by the African-American fellow who is one of the American Idol judges, who uses "dude" for both men and women....

Sorry --- that kinda sounds like brain damage (especially with the American Idol connection).

Nice dodge on the other issues.... You may have a future in politics after all,   < G >

Mr. BowlderMan,

What are your positions on Backpacking Leave Rights and the right to TT at work? Legislative fix or Constitutional Amendment? Incremental or massive change?
Pathman
9:52:01 PM
1/13/08

Backpacking Leave Rights: Leave should only be used for backpacking-related purposes.

TT at work: I prefer coffee coffee at work, but thanks for asking.

Legislative or Const. Amend.: It turns out that our research has discovered that "arms" actually meant "camping equipment" way back when, so the "Right to bear arms" really refers to going backpacking. So the language is already there. No action necessary.

Incremental or massive change: Yes




Hope this clears some of this up. Thanks!

What is your position on down vs synthetic?

Have you ever worn cotton in the backcountry?

Did you support the Wiggy Wars?

Dear Bowlderman:

Do you believe alcohol stoves or more environmentally friendly than white gas stoves?

Where does propane/butane enter into that equation?

Dear Bowlderman:

In addition to the other formentioned questions, please take time to address the age old question: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a noise?

Thanks,
