Hey Reeder, didja ever stop to think that maybe there are folks who are on the fence about the election?
Outlandish thought, I know, but humor me, mmkay?
So we’ve got Bob Lurkin-Doper and his daughter Ima Lurkin-Doper (Eura died in a tragic pinochle accident and they don’t talk about it much). They read the board together for an hour or so every night. Eack night of the week it is a different forum.
So every so often they happen to be reading the Pit because hey, they like comedy (which this is) and they are thinking about maybe ponying up $15 – oops, sorry, $14.95 – to post a rant about the tragic death of Eura Lurkin-Doper and why you should always be careful when playing pinochle.
When they read the Pit, sometimes they come across truly worthy rants. Sometimes they come across pile-ons, and they don’t usually enjoy those too much. Sometimes they come acros partisan screeds of one flavor or another, and sometimes they get introduced to people who really should have thought twice and posted/spoke once.
They’ve been reading this MB for a while now and they’ve gotten a pretty high dose of your threads … to the point where if Bob says “Hey Ima, here’s another Reeder thread”, Ima says “Bob, is it a thread about something Reeder thinks is Bush’s failure?” Ima is always right, only it has gotten to where they don’t laugh at Reeder’s predictability, they quite frankly would like for him to get a life and post about something less pointless than the weather for the past week where GWB had been riding a bicycle. When it comes to things like the topsoil firmness and density in Crawford, TX (or Waco, or Weehauken, NJ), they frankly could not care a hell of a lot less.
Reeder’s pathetic predictability has gotten them really pretty fed up about petty bickering and nitpicking. So Bob and Ima are thinking that if they see six more pointless Bush-bashing threads (which, judging from the content of your average Reeder thread, should happen within the next six to ten new threads in any forum), they will vote for him just to piss off Reeder, because he has pissed them off.
At this point, casual reader, you might be wondering to yourself “Now Bob, Ima, you know you could just … not read the threads.” Bob and Ima considered this, and in their considered opinions (they did consider this, after all), they like to give people as much a fair shake as they can. They don’t 100% plan for a new thread (sometimes Ima picks the threads and sometimes Bob does) by Reeder to be something about the Bush administration, but lately it has gotten to be difficult not to expect it. So they would like to think Reeder for all the time wasted on reading his threads (time they could better have spent mourning the loss of poor Eura from that horrific Pinochle accident) by maybe voting for Bush just to piss Reeder off.
By the way, their family friends Yora Frienda-Bob and Sheiza Frienda-Bob are thinking that anyone who wastes this much of Bob and Ima’s deserves as good a turn as Reeder gave them, and they are voting for Bush pretty much regardless of how much it rained or didn’t rain in Crawford.
