G:TB Election Day Ballot

I hate politics. So of course rob asked me to throw some filler up today. I seemed to remember a time when I was semi-creative, and posted something pairing electoral candidates such as "Harry Callahan against John McLean", or "Paper vs. Plastic" (yeah, I know, uber creative). Ah yes, good times.

Anyway, I believe this post is to serve as an open thread for the rest of the evening, so as a starter I threw out a few elections below that are being closely eyed by the G:TB staff...join me in the comments with some others, won't you?

Oh yeah, remember, if confused at the ballot box, just think "What would Brian Boitano do?"


Special Election 6.9.1a: Ray Tango vs. Gabriel Cash
Not only are you choosing a winner, but the victor also owns the rights to the term 'F.U.B.A.R." in perpetuity.


Iniative 3.1415: Kang vs. Kodos
Don't care which way you folks lean on this, but bottom line, don't blame me, I voted Kodos.


Municipal Ordinace 420 (submitted by a reader): Code name Ichiro vs. Code name Benedict
This joke for four might fall off the ballot due to disinterest...or the munchies.

  1. Regarding Clarence's comment in the last post ... unless you have 15 cars, that's a lot of tires in 3 months. You might want to consider buying tires elsewhere, keeping your tires at the proper pressure, avoid clocking the same pothole over and over again, making sure your rims aren't bent, or move to a better neighborhood so they won't get slashed.

  2. Perhaps Clarence keeps detouring through East St. Louis?

  3. There are initiatives in both Colorado and Washington State to legalize marijuana. Both have a decent chance of passing.

    Hey kids. Look at the blight.

    ReplyDelete
  4. gay marriage is likely to pass in at least 3 of the 4 states in which it's on the ballot, too. we're a few short years away from mandatory gay sex while stoned.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Passing on the left hand side.

    ReplyDelete
  6. There's a moke joke to be made in response to rob but I'm too zooted to figure it out.

  7. i'm reduced to tweeting random election questions into the ether. someone bring me some weed.

  8. After the last Presidential election, Greg complained that he was moving to Dubai. After this election, I'm moving to Boulder, Colorado. Not complaining, just saying.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Mark, Is Bizzaro pizza any good? Drive past it on the way to the airport.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Greg might currently live in Dubai, for all I know. Where is Fred Slacks these days?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Right now my guess is Greg is 30,000 feet above the middle of this country, knee deep in first class mini-booze bottles

    ReplyDelete
  12. For my election watching tonight, I have a chosen a 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina. Pairs well with partisan angst and Brian Williams' face in HD.

    ReplyDelete
  13. It's pretty good, Marls. The white pizza is really, really good. The Bizzarro Family (yes, actual name) are good friends with my in-laws. Though my Father-in-law, who's from Italy, calls them "bullshit Italians" behind their back(s).

    ReplyDelete
  14. i'll be drinking a south african syrah and swallowing large quantities of angst

    ReplyDelete
  15. Mayhugh - Greg's in San Jose (at least during the week)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Mark, it's better if we don't tell others where Greg actually is...and instead let folks guess.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I have a bunch of whales tail and a bunch of grey lady -- no surprise to anyone who's been in my kitchen.

    ReplyDelete
  18. once again, i have no school tomorrow.

  19. Zson just selected on the origin of species as his last book before bed. Long night ahead of me.

    ReplyDelete
  20. why are election night drinking games needed by people? they can't just crack open a few and watch the best reality show this side of the nba/nfl draft?

    ReplyDelete
  21. zson...everybody poops...a new species

    ReplyDelete
  22. Al Sharpton shouted out W&M.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm curious as to how many elections the Teej is participating in.

    I am enjoying the categories CNN is posting in the exit poll. So far we have "Fathers", "Mothers", "Born-again Christians", and "People Who Attend Church Weekly" to name a few. What else can we throw into this? Coffee Drinkers? Smokers? Organized Crime?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Just opened a brand new bottle of Woodford. Dee-lish.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I am drinking a Narragansett bock lager tall boy -- because one of our college cronies works for the brewery and mailed me some (is that legal?), which arrived today. This is outstanding. No matter what happens, today has made me happy.

    ReplyDelete
  26. the bock is good, as is the fest. got mine last week. free illegal beer is fun. kinda like a mini-smokey and the bandit.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Rob, Clarence... How about you get this 'buddy' of yours to spread the wealth to some other G:TB?

    I'll be participating in multiple elections tonight, Mayhugh.

    Also, is NBC really calling Rockefeller Center "Democracy Plaza" tonight? Spare me. You can spare me with that whole "Great State of Maine" bullshit.

    ReplyDelete
  28. mark, i'll be in orlando in february. i'll see what i can do.

    ReplyDelete
  29. was invited to several election watch parties. decided those people didn't need to learn what kind of insane person i am while watching elections/sports.

    ReplyDelete
  30. It would be cooler if you referred to it as Gansett.

    ReplyDelete
  31. "We never got duh trickool."

    When the hell did al Sharpton become a legit political commentator?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Savannah Guthrie did not get shorted on make-up this evening.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Nice. Let me know as we get closer to February. I'll try and make that arduous hour long trip to Orlando.

    ReplyDelete
  34. You know what's annoying? When NBC breaks for local election coverage. No one cares.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Not even being a jerk here. I really do care.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Shlara, do you have rabbit ears or something? CNN is the place to be.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Does Romney have any chance if he loses Florida?

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm flipping between CNN and NBC. I like the map on the ice rink

    ReplyDelete
  39. The ice rink in 'Democracy Plaza'?

    Mayhugh- CNN is never "the place to be". And no, I don't think Romney can win if he doesn't take Florida. But I just elected my first pope of the night so you probably shouldn't pay much attention to me.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I like Carville. Need more Carville.

    ReplyDelete
  41. man, the senate races are breaking hard for the blue guys. murphy, warren, donnelly(!). cmon, john tester, you flattopped bastard.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Paul Ryan can't get Wisconsin for Romney? No reason for him to be on the ticket.

    ReplyDelete
  43. And in shocking news, both camps are "bullish" on every battleground state. I just want somebody to say they are scared shitless about Colorado.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Mark, you clearly don't watch enough Morning Joe--they have been hating "democracy plaza" for weeks. Someone even made a snarky Comcast comment this morning for the over-commercialization of the whole thing.

    Did you see they are also counting electoral votes on the facade of 30 Rock?

    And CNN is doing the same thing on the Empire State bldg

    ReplyDelete
  45. The electoral votes count on empire state bldg is horrible.
    And am of the opinion that the morning joe crew should be working tonight. Let some of these other hacks fill in for them in the a.m.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I did see, and like, the electoral vote counter on the buildings of 30 Rock.

    I have never seen a single second of Morning Joe.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Totally agree with you Danimal. Election night needs more Mika, Joe and Willie

    ReplyDelete
  48. ap (but nobody else) calling wisconsin for tammy baldwin, which would make her the first openly gay female senator.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Looks like 63% of Massholes want Medical Marijuana to be legal. That number seems high to me. Pun intended.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Mika in her p.j.'s......yeah vavy!

    I think it is going to be an early night. I would love for Geoff to chime now and tell me I am wrong.

    Rob....nervous about that sen race there?

    ReplyDelete
  51. They just did the empire state bldg thing again....I wish they would then pan down to the zero people in the streets looking upward.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  67. Oh my god. Please let that be true.

    It's not your fault, Danimal. It's not your fault.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Race is over. Mittens will lose Ohio. Nate Silver, who's caught an ungodly amount of shit from the right, will be proved prescient.

    "President leading in the raw" makes me think of ODB. I bet Barry likes it raw.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Find it, Shlara. It should be near CNN. A lot of bitterness in the air.

    ReplyDelete
