You are in Texas now, you should know that it gets pretty hot and humid there. If I remember correctly, you were in Minnesota before and it gets colder than that place during the winter. And that place does freeze over.

Maybe someone could go there for the blues fest next month and take pictures. It is a scenic area:

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.

You should know that I have no desire for this high office - I accept your nomination only for the fame and power. I shall consider myself only to be the stalking horse candidate. I do this in truth only to help Orm, as to be elected without having produced a manifesto and spent millions in political TV advertising first he will be a poorer Governor without it. I choose however to move myself forward not on the Robert's Rules of Order but on the T34 positive motion basis.

Are you the driver, gunner, or loader?

Ormster! Bro! (That's you by the way) We need you to go back through this THE THREAD!!! and catalog every new page 'owner'. There's only 391 of them in this iteration of THE THREAD!!! I'll help you out: I got this one. But you'll have to figure out the other 390, I can't do all your work for you. When you're done with this current iteration, get ahold of the forum admin and they'll let you access the previous two iterations. You can figure those out too. Please report your findings to this august group as soon as you're done.

We needed someone that's from a 'neutral' non-aligned country to do the tabulations. As I'm not aware of any Swiss members of THE THREAD!!!, that means you. And Viking Dude.

But the democratic process has spoken and you are nominated! And seconded. We should now vote.

All in favor?

[Chickenboy]: "Aye".

"Aye".
No one doubts the honesty of the great and mighty Orm.

"Aye"

No idea what I am voting for but I am just following the crowd.

And look where that sentiment has got us lately.[:'(]

But I didn't nominate you Telemecus. You can't accept a nomination as a stalking horse / dark horse candidate if no such nomination is produced. Also, before you self-nominate please know that such an action is generally not accepted unless self-nomination is apriori accepted for these high offices.

Now, of course Orm, or anyone else that hasn't provided a nomination (or seconded one) can nominate you for office. He has not yet nominated anyone else, nor has he voted. As a valued member of THE THREAD!!!, his opinion is meritorious too.
Although your concept of co-Governorship is irregular, how you would choose to divide the duties of office with Orm could be left to the two of you. After you get voted in of course. Which can only take place after nomination. And the vote.

Order man. Order. Would you see THE THREAD!!! descend into wanton chaos and dysfunction? Therein lies the abyss.

ETA: Point of order. The armored vehicle shown is not a T-34, but an M1A1 Abrams MBT. How can you apply some Pinko tank principle to 'Murican hardware? [:@]

Sorry dude. It's in my DNA. Too many years at Public Universities.

True Story: I was the chair for the Committee on Committees at an Ivy League university for two years. Dark days indeed [shudders].[X(]

Committee on Committees ?! *shudders*

My Lords. I bid you gentlemen a good night.

I get a kick out of it myself. But now you know what to do when someone suggests that you go there. Simply say "Pay my way!"
