Tell him I ran for Parliament at 18, ran my riding association at 21, and had a seat on my party’s federal council at 25, and watch his head really explode.
Whatever.
I find it odd that not one of the acronyms in VC03’s new name is not DNFTT.
Although, he has admitted that at least part of this business was based on fraud and graft. He and Frank would use their brawn to knock over or severely damage chimneys they were supposed to “inspect,” and then charge for the rebuild or repair.
So yes, he’s hard-working. But he’s not above scumbaggery either. Never was.
I wasn’t aware of that, but at one time in his life he certainly wasn’t above a bit of trickery. I seem to recall (perhaps in Pumping Iron) where he deliberately told a competitor the wrong date for an upcoming contest so the other guy either wouldn’t be ready or perhaps missed it altogether.
Your point is well taken and having one’s past mistakes or errors in judgement come back to haunt them is part of what happens when one enters public life.
My assumption is that as he matured he gave up such shenanigans, and given his high profile I imagine it would have come to light by now if he hadn’t.
Holy cow Archive guy, I may hve to steal this
nicely done, made me laugh my ass off.
thanks!
Looks like after this one you may have to change your user name 
Maybe OMGWTFBBQ is a troll, maybe he just fell off his gourd several thousand feet ago. Either way, his utter idiocy is sometimes amusing.
Oh, and if you want to see some real crazy, try this old thread for starters.
That was lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I’ll see your phi and raise you a genetic freedom.
That’s nothing compared to all those doctors having sex with your wives.
Not too sure exactly what we’re doing here. But for my dollar there was no thread with more ":eek: " in it thanthis one.
Starts out as your subtley crazy, “let’s poke the nut” sort of thread.
Ends up as a “Oh my God, we’re sorry for needling you now. Please please please seek immediate mental health aid. Even the athiest among us are praying for you,” sort of thread.
It’s pretty easy to get out if you want… no one is stopping you.
I really wish you would just go away. I don’t really care if you get out of this world or out of this board. Just shut the fuck up.
God Fucking Damnit. I Just Fed The Troll.
I’ve been thinking of this thread ever since VC03 brought up Arnold.
After reading or rereading some of these, VCO3 gets put in perspective. In the restaurant of the entertainingly bonkers, he’s still at the kiddie table.
Oh, man, I forgot all about him. crowmanyclouds called that poster GuyNbrownShirt once. I wish I’d thought of that.
It’s worse than you think. He’s 12, and he’s dyslexic.
Tilda’s pretty much of a dabbler when it comes to entertaining unhingedness: you can just see him straining for outrage and effect. For seemingly effortless nutcaseitude, there’s Does Nobody Care But Me?, which for me is the gold standard for semi-coherent hide the scissors whackaloonacy: it starts with a slam on cops for eating too many doughnuts, veers through a plea for costumed vigilantes, wanders through corrupt city officials Who Cannot Be Named, takes in a forged obituary, and finally self-destructs in a threat to sue the SDMB and a banning, all over the course of six increasingly bizarro pages.
And of course the late and mostly unlamented andrewt85 was pretty much sans pareil when he got his grudge on.
VC03, you probably don’t actually live in CA.
I did during this whole fiasco, and I actually think MORE elections should be like that. The more the merrier! Better to pick from a decent number of candidates that include a few nutjobs, then pick the lesser of two evils that are the usual suspects.
I also suspect you didn’t attend college, as your impression of a college student appears to be based purely on movies.
That being said, I wish there were more like the young delegate mentioned in your OP. He’s worth 10 of you to the political process.
