As of today, Tuesday, August 30, 2005…

I am now eligible to run for U.S. President.

There are going to be some changes around here when I am finally in charge.  
If any Dopers are hoping for a position on the Monstre Cabinet, feel free to persuade me as to why you are the best qualified for the job. Monstre is very selective.

Monstre For President in 2008

I want some cake, dammit…

Happy Birthday, I presume?

I want to be Minister of _Lookin’ Sexy_.  
And possibly Undersecretary of Underwear.

I have references.

Certainly. I presume this means you are now in charge of all ironing. Here are a few of my shirts – I’ll need them done by 8:00.

Well, you’ll have to apprentice to me on that one, but you can be that underwear thing.

“just became”… hee hee 😉

Hmph. Even Lobsang’s “I’m bored and drunk” threads get more action.

Well, then… **TellMeI’mNotCrazy** , **Hung Mung** , and **Cerowyn** will get cabinet positions of their choice.

As President Monstre, maybe I’ll just deport the rest of ya’ll… 😛

And too bad for my ineligible brother – he was a C-section… 😉

Of course, I may have to serve some jail time because it’s a CRIME to look this good!

Cat? Put the mirror down and buckle in. Holly says we’re about to make the jump to light speed. And Rimmer’s whingeing again…

I wanna be on your Cabinet.

Well, as future Prime Minister, I’ll be sure to be calling your office soon.

I’d like to be Secretary of Procrastination, or, failing that, maybe Vice President.

And I’m willing to make out with **Anaamika** and **Kythereia** to get the job, of course.

Oh, and Happy Birthday!

Absolutely! The desk in the Oval Office is certainly big enough.

Where is **Monstre** , anyway? Passed out from the excitement? He \*is \* getting on in years. 😛

Don’t mind me, I’m just a UN Observer, here to watch Anaamika and Kythereia’s negotiation tactics.

In that case, I want to be Secretary of Secretly Placed Webcams.

First, belated Happy B’Day.

Second, meh! The only “job” I want is Vice Monstre in Chief. Nice accomodations, nice pay, no responsibility. Just make a few stupid statements a year, spell ‘potato’ wrong, and the veem is set. I’d be a 5-digit poster within hours!
