Well you had better hurry up on that one Pres. I NEED A BUDGET!!! Geez… I am not going to get any foreign affairs using just my stunning looks and fantastic personality alone you know (unless there are any shortsighted, hard of hearing dopers out there who are single)- I need cold hard currency and lots of it. 😉 [sub]Ooooh - I made my first 100 posts. I never thought that would happen - and I made it to you **dpr** - kinda like giving my virginity away, hope you appreciate it .[/sub] 😉 ---

\ As my first PA duty, I’d like to suggest an exchange program. **Wyldelf** and myself should switch places for a bit. I can accomplish my PA duties much better if I’m in Oz, and Wyldelf can conduct foreign affairs. All in favour? ---

well, I’ll take the treasury, uh, I mean the treasury position, since you totally ignored my minister in charge of foreign chocolate suggestion. I will have to spend a lot of the dopedollars on a publicity campaign to ensure that I’m not ignored again, but I’m sure we could fund an exchange program too…(not that I’m buying votes for the position or anything… 😉 ) ---

You two are just voting for him because of the exchange program financing. This is a dictatorship remember? Which means it’s me who has the final say… [sub] and I say he gets the position. [/sub] ---

Her!!! [I’m a her!!!](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/fierra.html) Sheesh! Sexist, bloody presidents! We need a minister in charge of education (the ones with the bumpy bits up top are female, Mr President…) - I’ll see if I can free up some funding for that… Wyldelf, Nymysys - did you want to travel first class commercial, or shall I just boot the president off his jet? ---

While it is true that you _are_ a moderator, I counter with the fact that I am an experienced and trained info-space warrior, skilled in the art of stupid posts. I remind you that with one sipmle thread alone, I was able to raise an [entire army](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=31290) of dopers to arms (like, my only shining moment on the boards) against the dreaded ‘teenie bopper’ movement. Your pithy mouse clicking may bring us to a minor speedbump, but our truck will keep on rolling. . . Tripler Damn, I like making dumbass speeches. 🙂 ---

I just wasted a decent “glove dropping” speech. Welcome aboard UncleBeer . . . Let me know if you need any random searchin’ and siezin’ to be done. Martial law can be declared like _that_ [snap of the fingers]. Trip Hooked on Phonics didn’t work for me (a 23 year old college graduate with a desire for beer). ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by fierra \* > \*\*Wyldelf, Nymysys - did you want to travel first class commercial, or shall I just boot the president off his jet? \*\* Well - I was just thinking that I could package myself up in a cardboard box and post myself over there. It wouldn’t cost too much to send me - I don’t weigh that much and that way I wouldn’t have to boot the president off his jet. And **nymysys** dpr is a wonderful exception to the rule when it comes to Aussie men. As are his friends. 🙂 ---

I think I could qualify as carry-on luggage if anyone is going that way. Barring that, sure, I’ll take first class. Show up in Oz all pleasantly squiffled on champagne. 😃 ---
