Well, you can write me in to whatever ballot you'd like....I promise to do whatever will amuse me the most while keeping the deathtoll to a minimum. Hmmm.....maybe head of the FCC or EPA. Oh! NORAD- I'd be good at that: I could make a bunch of Stargate fan-films too.

If you don't, you don't have anything to complain about.
Someone posted a good analogy on /. the other day for that argument. Say there's only one restaurant in town, and the only two meals they offer are a rotten fish and a manure sandwich. If you refuse to eat either, do you still have the right to complain about being hungry?
Of course, the proper solution is to realize there are plenty of restaurants around, and it's just the one restaurant that wants you to think it's the only one.
VOTE THIRD PARTY!
You will note, I hope, that I didn't make any specifications as to whom one whould vote for.

This from someone whose screen surname means: "(Hebrew אבדון Avaddon, Greek Apollyon, Latin Exterminans, meaning "A place of destruction", "The Destroyer", "Depths of Hell") in demonology, is chief of the demons of the seventh hierarchy. In the Revelation of St. John, Abaddon is the King of tormenting locusts and the angel of the bottomless pit. (KJV, Rev. 9:1-11)"

No, it's the greek thing but whenever anyone says "Abbaddon" they inevitibly pronounce the silent second "d" which makes the name sound like it's being said by mushmouth from the fat Albert show.
The closest direst translation is "The Destroyer"- from the greek god o' destrction, which the Church later tacked all that demonology stuff onto. That whole "Angel of The Bottomless Pit" gag is from a story wherein I'm supposed to "bind Satan for a thousand years" but that sonds like a real chore, so if anyone asks, I already did it, okay?

Oh yes you are- although I dont know what exactly xylemology means- you're falling for it weither you like it or not! I get half your stuff when you die and you get to live in a double-wide trailer with cousin Lurlene and her kids from many fathers from now on. She's a wiatress at the Waffle House so she'll like as not bring you home some food, so you'll be sittin' pretty as long as the beer supply holds out.

Wait a fuck, after I die I get to live in a trailer park with food workers? And beer? Is this some sort of inverse Grim Fandango knockoff, this timeline? And wait just a fuck, you get half my stuff when I die? So at some point we will be married? Why didn't I have/will get a prenup?
Man, I have to clear my schedule, all I had in the calendar was "buy ravioli" and "show your mom a good time", then basically just coasting until the year 2025 and the rise of the old gods (jesus, buddha and elvis, who will merge, and the weight of Jebudelvis creates a black hole thus eating the world and all our problems are over). But this changes everything!
Hope you can still get into your prom dress Jason, cuz this is gonna be AWESOME! *gangsign*
And how about that GOP? Man I hate it!

You wont hate the GOP in the future- all those NRA nuts are gonna come in real handy as fodder for that "rise of the Old Gods" thing- it'll give us time to get to the spaceships to take up safely away to....er... Well, we'll have thought of something by then, I'm sure. Also, I dont need to marry you to get all your stuff when you die- (sorry I led you on like that, I like you, but only as a friend, you understand, it's not you: it's me- I'm just not looking for for a relationship now: you're a great guy and I'm sure you'll make some lucky Flareite a happy man/woman/hermaphrodite someday soon, I hope you understand, we'll still be friends and all, really: I'll call you- you're special) I just need you to get injured, doped up at the hospital and sign Power Of Attorney over to me: I'm a notary and everything so it'll all be legal-like.
As to your "buy ravioli" plan, it's a mistake- that Chef Boyardee stuff is death, man- nothing with greasy bright orange sauce can possibly be healthy.
As to "showing my mom a good time", I'll leave you to your fantasies: I shudder uncontrollably at the thought that my parents once coupled to spawn myself. I mean, damn: just think of your parents getting frisky for a moment and you'll know true horror.

First you want to marry me, then you speak of "shiny sauces" and now you post an image representing yourself as a gerbil of some sort....
