With the ineptitude of previous leaders I'm worried I might not be bad enough. Am I really bad?

to paraphrase Utah Phillips
So I created my own party. It's called the Sloth and Indolence Party, and I'm running as an anarchist candidate in the best sense of that word. I've studied the mayorship carefully. I have seen that our best mayors were the do-nothing mayors: Millard Fillmore, Warren G. Harding, Introvertigo. When you have a mayor who does things, we are all in serious trouble. If he does anything at all, if he gets up at night to go the bathroom, somehow, mystically, trouble will ensue.
I guarantee, that if I am elected, I will take over the Back Porch, hang out, shoot pool, scratch my ass, and not do a damn thing.

I banned French, and I dropped atomic bombs on Facebook and Twitter; thus, I fulfilled all of my campaign promises. Well, other than promising that Andy would appear. I'm not Dog--merely a man.

*NEWS FLASH* Mare is in pole position. We might have the first female leader. Hang on...... The cake platform is working? Should I add indolence & sloth? I want to be a part of a group that leads itself. I am no judge, taking on judgement of others. In fact, I am consciously working on doing the exact opposite. All I can do is make suggestions. Think of me as one who posts pictures of refreshments, music and makes suggestions at a think tank. Perhaps I could add a big sound booth, draw circles in each of the four corners, put the noses of dissenters one in each corner circle, close the door and let them discuss/yell until they are sick of the topic at hand and ready to chill on the subject matter and accept that it is best not to turn everything into a debate to the death. But: 1. How do you make a room with more than four corners-I'll put myself in there for sure and 2. I don't remember what two was. Heh heh...that should get all votes removed from me on the group ballot. I find it brilliant that a country that was treated as a penal colony came up with such a genius idea as Secret Ballot.

Thompson must have come from the same gene pool. I like the Sloth and Indolence bit. Good platform, Ned!

I'll put this as plainly as I can..if we are in fact continuing with a single individual having the mayoral title, I have. In utmost sincerity meant it when I said I want it. Not for dictorial purposes (any of you know me that's not how I am), but it would feel I guess we'll see something akin to welcoming and recognition of me considered equally one of the bp not just "newbie" and like hey you matter and actually contribute. And on a most serious an sincere way I really do try efforts to o make an effort here to engage, add new content to the board not always popular but try at least to keep it fresh with new thread suggestions etc and keep existing ones going. So I guess that's my plea and platform. Vote for me, please? Give me a shot for a year. And I'll keep trying to keep things active, and where possible. lively too and make new ideas to at least give a chance for something fresh. If you don't like it that's ok too, but I'm trying to contribute so we don't stagnate.

Hmmmn, rule 1. Don't sound too keen. We like a lazy fucker in the role. Plus it is a non-role. And Ned holds all the cards. So chill dude 😎🙃😉 And do the things you wanna do. You don't need a chain of command around your neck for that. Do anything you wanna do. 🙃 I mean, how bright are the fires of thought in a chain of command? 😎

We like a lazy fucker in the role. That sounds like me, all right. Here is a question, not just for Don but for anyone who wants to respond. If I represent sloth, which of the seven deadly sins do you represent? (I'm intrigued and a bit leery of whomever chooses lust.)

(I'm intrigued and a bit leery of whomever chooses lust.) I am a combo of deadly sins and virtues, I guess...envy probably and conversely kindness. (Which may mean I'm nuts.)
And sobriety.
Except when it comes to tasty food & tea. There, I teeter on that fine line between temperance and gluttony but I am leveling out on that...on the temperance side.
(This is similar to what I use in the office, but ours is in much, much better shape. This particular antique is pretty crapped out.)

Yay, the vote is evening out! Now, I need to decide which of the candidates without votes for whom to vote. My issue is I would like to vote for each of them. If everyone gets one vote, then we can create our Mayoral Committee. I know I can neither vote for all or none...it is my responsibility to vote. How could I complain if I took no part in the voting process? We need a space for "Write In Candidates." Who will be our beloved mayor for a year after the debacle that was Merra's reign? Our favorite moderator Ned 5th -0 votes (0%) Our favorite curmudgeon Donavan 1st -1 vote (25.00%) Our favorite dad Miles 5th -0 votes (0%) Our favorite Mare Mare 1st -1 vote (25.00%) Our newest prolific poster Bluedemon 1st -1 vote (25.00%) Andy (if he ever shows up--Don, you invited him, right?) 5th -0 votes (0%) And finally, our favorite ex-mayor, Introvertigo, willing to come out of retirement to serve again 1st -1 vote (25.00%) There have been 4 votes by 4 voters. This poll will automatically lock on May 30, 2022 at 9:00pm.
