I blame Gunslinger, frankly, especially considering that Dead Chipmunk fiasco…
mmmm… chipmunk… [drool]
Oh, I don’t know. I’m hoping a certain writer will finally de-lurk for this one.

Sorry, I was off having a torrid affair with an intern.
What was the question?
Esprix
I believe the question is “How do I become an intern?”
Can I be the transportation secretary? Or the head of NHSTA? I’ve got lots of nifty ideas on how to improve cars and mass-transit!
Who’s gonna run NASA? You see, I have this wacky idea. I’d like to see a human walking around on the moon, heading back to his bed in the permanant base after as long day’s work, and back out on the surface the next day, before I freakin’ die of old age…
Oh, and if I get the job, I’d be my father’s boss, and I could give him some of those extra vacation days I’m sure he could use.
The campaign is still on. I want to take a good look at issues and discuss them (probably not a MPSIMS thread).
You guys have got my vote.
Darth Nader: That is a wacky idea! Here’s hoping…
Excellent news. Even as someone from outside the US I hope this is a serious exercise. I will be following it’s progress closley.
Damn apostrophe, how’d that sneak in there?
Issues? What are those?
Esprix
Guys, I hate to rain on your parade, but I’ve been thinking about this, and no matter what you’ve guys have got my vote, but what about the Boards here? If you’re serious about this (and I hope that you are), once the campaign goes national, you can expect an influx of people here on the boards. This wouldn’t be a bad thing, except that Hammie can’t take the load. We all remember what happened when we got slashdotted over the LOTR thread, when you guys go national, it’ll be even worse. The Reader is going to have to rethink their whole policy in regards to the Dope. Someone needs to be thinking of that, and we need to find a way to get the Reader to upgrade the server.
I say we use a slush fund to shore up poor Hammie.
Don’t tell the press.
Esprix
Maybe I should vote for the OTHER guy…I am running about par for the losing ticket…
Just doing my part to get a decent man in the White House!
Hey, that’s simple – we just channel some of the advertising budget to the Reader for full-page ads. Helps the campaign and helps underwrite the server.
And, of course, Esprix and I explain in an exclusive interview how we met each other and the campaign got started as a result of the Reader’s public service in setting up the boards.
Sounds like a win-win situation to me!
Isn’t that Esprix’s job?
So how goes the campaign?
Esprix
Actually, can I be ambassador to Canada? I’ll be lots better than Paul Cellucci.
Slogan: “If you like lots of big fish, or fathers of the early christian church, then Polycarp is your man!”
Slogan: “Polycarp: No one said you couldn’t vote for him.”
Slogan: “Win with Wilkie”
Also, I submit my application for two positions, Horrible Slogan Writer, and Ambassador to The Federated States of Micronesia.
