Cave Crickets organize: Joementum '08

[BuelahWitch]

Cave Crickets are organizing in basements around the country with one goal in mind: drafting Joe Lieberman for another Presidential run. "We feel that Joementum has a chance to win in 2008," said cricket leader Morloc, during a phone interview.
Morloc states that crickets were behind Lieberman's 2006 Senate win. "Everyone thinks Joe came from behind because Republicans voted for him. Not true. Freedom Fighting Crickets hid in purses and pockets all over Connecticut on election day. As the victim got ready to cast his or her vote for Senator, their assigned cricket jumped out of his hiding place and hovered over Joe's name on the ballot. The voter would then try to kill the Freedom Fighter, which would make them place a vote for Joe." With bowed antennae, the leader admitted that many crickets lost their lives that day, but it was for good cause. "Most people feel we are of 'little economic importance' or a nuisance and can be stomped to death at will. We know Joe doesn't feel that way." He also states that Lieberman is sympathetic to a strange Cave Cricket habit: eating their own limbs. "Hey, Joe knows that sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive," sighed Morloc. "Even if it means destroying yourself in the process. He's our man."
When pressed, Morloc admits he expects to get something for initiating Joementum '08: the bottom half of the ticket. "Since Joe's an Independent now we're hoping to run him on the Cricket Ticket. That means he'll have to run with one of us if he expects to get the votes of the entire cricket population. Knowing how insects multiply, he could win by a landslide."
Senator Lieberman's office could not be reached for comment.

1. Better watch out

I hear they're teaming up with the Wood Spiders on Crack. And if you don't vote for Joe, they'll come over and pop a cap in your ass.

:spray:

[BuelahWitch]

2. That's one reason why I posted this

If they get the Wood Spiders on crack on their side, we're DOOMED!!! :cry: :nuke:

[BuelahWitch]

3. Does Evl know?

:yoiks:

[Mabus]

4. He'll only notice if they go after his Guiness stock

Then, they will be the ones who are afraid.

[atommom]

5. Damn. If he gets the insect vote, we are SCREWN.

:scared:

[BuelahWitch]

6. I wonder if Diebold will work for or against the Cricket Ticket?

:shrug:

[atommom]

7. I'm sure Diebold will welcome our new insect overlords!

They've been working for the Lizard People for years now -- they're probably ready for a change.

8. Dammit. I'm missing a pint of Guinness.

Now there'll be hell to pay!

[BuelahWitch]

9. Maybe they drank it right before they declared for Joe

:shrug:

[evlbstrd]

10. That should have had the opposite effect.

Let me consult my notebooks ...

[Mabus]

11. I think she's got the beta models

You need to talk to her about upgrading to the more recent model.

[evlbstrd]

12. I've just started on V. 3.0.

Interested in helping with Quality Assurance?

[Mabus]

13. Why, most certainly, my dear evl.

I'll got back out and start looking for salamanders.

[evlbstrd]

14. Excellent!

[Mabus]

15. Does this make me "Smithers"?

:rofl:

[evlbstrd]

17. Sure!

[Mabus]

19. OMIGOD

:rofl:

[evlbstrd]

20. Surprised?

I love Google image search.

[Mabus]

21. Not at all

I thought it was funnier than anything I've seen in a long time. You posted it during the game (KU vs. OSU) that we were watching otherwise I would have called you, laughed really hard and then hung up.

[evlbstrd]

22. Cool. Who won?

So, you skipped Major Boner's big speech for a mere game of basketball?

[Mabus]

23. KU by 30

Damn right I skipped Major Boner's speech. Okay, I did watch the first two and half minutes but when he went back to 9/11 I knew I'd already heard that speech and went *click*.

[evlbstrd]

24. That's what I usually do.

Tonight, I kinda listened. Even CorpoMedia seems to think he's lost it and we're attacking Iran.

[Mabus]

25. I figured I'd read the DU threads tomorrow morning

I mean, why ruin a perfectly good evening watching some idiot trying to read cue cards?

[evlbstrd]

26. This one was worse than usual.

But I don't wanna harsh yer buzz.
I thought of a design for Gore buttons. I need to sketch it out.

[Mabus]

27. Harsh my buzz?

I appreciate that. Nothing will do that. I'm watching the replay of the KU-OSU game. It feels good all over again!

But I'm curious about the design.

[evlbstrd]

28. I'm curious about it, too.

I don't know how it will end up.
It involves compact flourescents. But it's gotten too late to start drawing tonight. That'd keep me awake for hours.

[Mabus]

29. I've got to get to sleep

I've been feeling crappy these last few days (actually most of this year). I blew out my knee on New Year's Eve as a result of overexuberant dancing. It was almost healed when I screwed it up again at the Governor's Ball from walking up and down stairs in high heels. I also screwed up my back a bit. On top of all that I'm still getting over the creeping crud otherwise known as the remnants of the cold that won't go away.

I've been hobbling around with a hacking cough and drippy nose. My head feels like it's in a bubble and everything has this echo-y sound to it. I'm such a delight to behold. This morning the Admiral couldn't take it anymore and brushed my hair for me. I'm at the stage where my hair hurts.

On the bright side, at least I'm easier than usual to amuse and the Admiral is taking full advantaage of that. He says something and I start laughing myself silly. Then I start coughing and have to blow my nose. The Admiral calls me his "little oil painting."

[evlbstrd]

30. And you've just painted the sweetest picture

of Typical American Gay-Endangered Marital Bliss (TM).
Get better, dammit.

[Mabus]

31. It's better most days

I'm just hoping that I'm getting all my sick and injured days out of the way early this year. ;) I even stopped smoking to see if it would help me recover faster. Okay, I ran out of cigarettes and couldn't get to the store for over 24 hours. I finally broke down and went when the Admiral kept asking/looking/whining for smokes.

I just hope this isn't a sign that this year will be one of constant pain and sickness for me. I've got too much shit to do to be held back my the virusus and germs of mere mortals.

[BuelahWitch]

16. So these ones won't eat their legs?

:shrug: It was the leg eating thing that started Joe's pander bear act...

[evlbstrd]

18. I think I fixed that.

It was accidentally ported over with the old Windows code.
