Chickenboy, I am so, so very sorry. What happened? Is there anything we can do? Can it be recovered?

Should we not have some candidate debates before the vote?
That sounds like a splendid idea. [:)]

However, I will not participate. Nor will I listen to one. [:D]

Are you sure that is a good idea? Last time a candidate did not turn up for the debate was in May this year - and for his crime he was punished by becoming Prime Minister! [:D]

How can such a sacrilege be allowed to happen? An attack on Chickenboy is an attack on us all.

Time to get even!



Or, perhaps, it is just a computer that needs fixing?

No, I am not sure that it is a good idea. However, if I am elected, then I am going to need all my energy to focus on the task. And if I am not, then that time could have been better used playing computer games. [:D]

OK. I'll buy your vote. Will this suffice? I'll even make it of the Swedish Bikini Team of yore.





Never seen that one ...

... but I agree with Orm in this case. I seriously doubt that any of these beauties even know where Sweden is.

If they came to visit you, would you care if the did not know where Sweden is? Or would you tell them to leave and never come back?

If they came visiting me, I would wonder what is wrong with them. Or why someone would pay them to do so. Or what mischief they are up to. I would probably ask them to leave at once. [:)]

Ah. But you do not live in Sweden. [:D]

And as a side-note to Chickenboy; I wouldn't dream of voting when I am nominated. I wouldn't dream of voting against myself. And I am surely sane enough to not vote on myself. [:D]

We should not. There is only one candidate at this point. Only one seconded nomination has gone through and is in the process of voting.

Now, Telemecus, if you are proposing that you would prefer to re-open the process to consider additional candidates (yourself being the obvious choice to run against Orm), please follow Robert's Rules of Order to state your case in a motion properly. Your motion (if seconded, of course) would then follow in accord with the rules.

We are having nice Autumn weather here. It is around 20.6 C and it should get up to 22 C. Tomorrow should be even better, it should get up to 18 C. But I was like to check the weather where I am at to this place:

One of my favorite quotes from a really interesting man. Regarding consideration of politics after the American Civil War, General W.T. Sherman was asked his thoughts:

"If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve."

I've had cause to use this quote to deflect nomination to meaningless academic boards and councils in the past. But that won't work for you, Orm-we're on to your tricks. [:'(]
