[…dance of joy…]

:smiley:

I hope this doesn’t come across as boasting or gloating, but I’m just really happy about it. In an election that probably broke all records for voter apathy, I beat out my nearest competition by 12 - 9. :smiley: Yeah, I know. Small potatoes and all that, but next to the Dope, it’s my favorite message board. I really enjoy the discussion of philosophy, and I’ve had the opportunity to discuss everything from the modal ontological argument to Schopenhauer’s ridiculous pessimism. I admit that I would have prefered the Religion and Mysticism thread, but what I got was Politics and Law which is just fine.

Anyway, that’s it. Pretty mindless and pointless, but still…

Good for you, Lib. I’m glad you’re having fun.

I’ll be along to troll you shortly.

Thanks, Kal! Eldyn and I are leaving for our LASIK surgery in about 15 minutes. Wish us luck.

Good luck with that, Lib. And have some fun with it, too.

Hope the surgery goes (or went) well, Washte had that about 6-7 years ago.

I changed me mind about trolling; I tried reading some threads over there and gave missen a headache. Man, them’s ten dollar words you lot use.

Anyone care to share a link to said Philosophy forums?

Congrats (or condolences, as the case may be :smiley: ), Lib. May your trolls be few and your posters be reasonably courteous!

Can’t stay on very long. Doctor’s orders. Our surgery went fine. I was worried because everything was very blurry, like looking through water. But we did our drops and took a nap. When I woke up, I kissed Edlyn, and she opened her eyes. “I can see!” she shrieked. There’s still a bit of a glow on everything, but it’s improving by the hour. I’m especially happy for my wife. She was legally blind, and now she’s easing into nearly 20/20 vision. With no glasses. What can I say but hallelujah.

Thanks for the encouragement. I better sign off now. The board’s a bit bright.

Well, what did you expect with a name like Libertarian? :wink:

This is of course assuming that you use the same name at the other MB.
