I would like to nominate a strap on. Upfront about what it is going to do to you. ---

[QUOTE=pravnik] My first thought is for my magazine rack because I like how it stands with the issues, but I’m torn because my right shoe has a proven track record. Moreover, my left shoe would make a perfect running mate for my right shoe. They’ve proven they can work together. [/QUOTE] I’m pretty sure this comes from a 1932 Fred Allen routine. Now you say: “[Fred Who?](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Allen)” ---

[QUOTE=vibrotronica] Back in 2001, I was in a little movie called [Slick Lilly vs. The Grand Canyon](http://www.amazon.com/Slick-Lily-vs-Grand-Canyon/dp/B000BD98D6) about the hard-fought presidential race between a stargazer lilly and the Grand Canyon. Here’s the [trailer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NZ-aqxT6Ls). I was always for the Lilly, mostly because I liked his running mate, which was a humidifier. [/QUOTE] I have to ask - were you in the trailer video? If so, who are you? That was cute. ---

[QUOTE=haystack1989] I nominate the Bigmac [/QUOTE] You want a fat, greasy President with widely-known traits which he stubbornly insists are totally secret, who stays young through cryogenics (_creepy!_) and who hasn’t even been competitive in his field for a couple of decades? ---

I got a box of rocks in the mail from a garden supply place. Planned to use them in the aquarium that I’m turning into a mermaid house, but I will give them up for the cause. This box of rocks has all of the usual intelligence requirements. Oh, and I also have a sack of hair that can be used as a running mate. ---
