[QUOTE=WhyNot] Oh yeah? What’s this pot of boiling water \*\*Fetchund \*\*just brought in? And here’s a quart of drawn butter! :eek: 😃 [/QUOTE] Aw, Hell. I don’t eat meat. Boiling water, huh? Geez, **lobstermobster** , that’s a tough break. So… what you got, **WhyNot**? Got anything for a extroverted treehugging tequila-swilling audiophile to get behind? ---

[QUOTE=Omegaman] Is that a bandoleer around your chest or are you going for the hall monitor/crossing guard vote? [/QUOTE] OBVIOUSLY that is ammo strapped across my chest. And maybe I’m just old fashioned but I would never threaten to cook and eat my delicious opponent WhyNot. Also, I will not be standing on ANY puppies or kittens. I do however, promise to flip the bird at all countries that give us any sass, pass a law banning crocs with socks, and provide federal budget for Tuesday Boozeday block parties in every major metropolitan. And since everyone here is a total slutmonkey and doesn’t want to run with me I will have to run with my dog Ignatius who promises to refrain from pooping in the oval office except on holidays. ---

As tempting as the platforms of the other candidates sound, **Kythereia** is the only one who has promised two healthy, fit men for my bed – human male bedmates trump puppies and kittens – as well as FREE BEER on hockey nights, so she still gets my vote. **Sampiro** , obviously a reincarnation of Caligula or some other great party giver of the Roman Empire, needs to have his own regime on a tropical island and where his henchperson, **Fetchund** , (and don’t “hench” and “Fetch” have such a significant resonance?) can give full reign to piratical and assassinatory impulses. And his subjects can wear those fetching (aha! another resonance!) garments that **Sampiro** will mandate without worrying about staying warm. ---

I nominate **elucidator.** Just what we need in a POTUS – a more-or-leftist ex(?)-hippie with a real sense of humor. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pick-your-sdmb-member-for-potus/425047.md?page=7)
