[BrownEyedCat]

Then it's about time I got into this race proper!





So remember: Don't Idly Vote! Vote IDLE!

[Rkolter]

Vote for the New Generation Party.

Or I'll light you on fire.

[Ahaugen]

I am speaking to you, not as an election official, but as a friend:

BURN THESE PHOTOS RIGHT AFTER THE ELECTION

[The Neko]

Vote for the New Generation Party.

What on earth made you think this was a good or acceptable idea?

You are using your child as a prop.

As interesting as the prospect that he's imagined the whole thing (?) is, I don't know how it adds to the jam without discrediting other's work (unless it's an alternate reality). But whatever. If he arrived on the scene a good two and a half years ago, that means he's gone that long without a mate- a woman of his race that understands him. Maybe that's the problem?

Whatever the case, you've got to let him free, because he will just go more and more insane the longer he's drugged to stay human. (Alice in Wonderland syndrome) He longs for the outside world, to rule over the dragons (hence the nickname DracoKing). What can it hurt?

[KWill]

Huh. Guess I need a running mate...

[Laemkral]

My Vice President will be whoever comes in at 3rd in the election. The 2nd place person will be far too eager to simply seize what they perceive as being rightfully theirs, and thus can not be trusted to not kill me. The 3rd place person however will be grateful for being propelled to the Vice Presidency while at the same time lacking the political base of power to protect themselves from the 2nd place person should they (number 3) seize power from me. In other words...YOU NEED ME NUMBER 3!! WITHOUT ME YOU ARE NOTHING!!!

Unless of course Lego comes in at number 2. Then we'll simply do the Bush/Cheney routine.

To avoid what happened with the last election/poll, make sure that everyone that votes, also makes a post in the thread (eg "I have voted kthx".) Moderators can check for ballot stuffing then. If anyone remembers what happened last time. And votes by PM do NOT work, trust me. The polling system in phpBB3 makes the actual votes anonymous, however not the voters. I had a really elaborate script to check this last time around, but don't want to have to write a new one.

You are using your child as a prop.

Yup. And yet, he's a happy, well cared for, healthy, and deeply loved child. It's amazing how well children rebound from the tragedies of life, like starring in a few candid photos.

The lighter and butane were both empty by the way. I'm not going to put my kid in danger to get a candid snapshot.

Dude, I don't know you that well, but I would NEVER have my child anywhere near such dangerous items, let alone place it next to them while they were sleeping for the silly amusement of a few anonymous online buddies on a forum. Think it over what you are doing and reconsider it.

[SergeXIII]

You use your child as a prop.

I must concur with an emphatic “dude…”

[Grabmygoblin]

DRAMA.

I don't think that was the question.

it really wasn't.

hey, alls I'm sayin' is that if I replaced the beef in your hamburger for okI'llstopbeforemakingpeopletoosick.

[McDuffies]

Cut the drama, all of you. You're trying to tutor someone who is older and more responsible than you.

You are in no position to lecture others here, especially considering . . .

This was only dangerous if you are concerned about butane vapors warping the kid's mind. Considering the people on CG he'll likely meet in the future, that's going to happen anyway.

Huh. Guess I need a running mate...

By veeping me you could have that all important Vegetarian vote. *l*

Well, I suppose everyone's a vegan when they sleep. You're in! =D




...make that a >=D

[Rkolter]

I thought the average person ate 10 spiders a year, while they sleep. That would make you non-vegan when you sleep...

[Nanda]

I not only use my child as a prop, I use other people's children as props. Here's my nephew in a pot on the stove.



This is what parents do. In fact, I don't personally know a single parent who hasn't used their child as a prop at some point.
