Mare processing BP Politics: I wake up. I am running for Mayor? I go to sleep. I wake up, I have a vote? So does donavan! So does miles! I go to sleep. I wake up, donavan has two votes! I go to sleep. I wake up, I check in here. I'm going to wait to vote. I go to sleep. I wake up, I check in here. Bluey wants very much to be Mayor. I go to sleep. I wake up, votes are spread pretty evenly - one for Bluey! I go to sleep. I wake up, dang it, I wish people would stop changing their votes. I go to sleep. I wake up, I check in here AGGGGH! I have another vote. I go to sleep. I wake up, I check in here Whew! I am one vote down! I go to sleep. I wake up, I check in here Whew! Vote hasn't changed! I go to sleep. I wake up, I check in here Whew! Vote hasn't changed! I go to sleep. I wake up, I check in here AGGGGH! Dang it, now I'm tied with somebody! Oh, no! I hope they win! I go to sleep. I wake up-everybody is tied for lead, Whew! I like even! I go to sleep. I wake up, thinking it can't go on like this, I will die before I ever am Mayor. Or not-Mayor. I check in here AGGGH! I am in the lead again. O.K. donavan. I'm just going to smile my way through this.

I wake up, I check in here. Bluey wants very much to be Mayor. Never trust someone who was a fanboy of me and now a fanboy of miles. They can't be trusted. Vote Intro. He's a proper geezer.

I'm a fanboy of Allan K Hall. Was that his name? What a legend. The good old days. Best forum name? Slow Cooked Ham. And the remember the two members on APE who pissed everyone off to a point everybody moved over to FB. Except me and one or two others.

Mail-in ballots can be sent to Mare, as she is in charge of the Back Porch Postal Service.
But Mare is a candidate. Trump may have been on to something re postal voting. And she is in the lead. I bet she has a stash of ballet papers under her bed. Perhaps the Electoral Commission should have a look at this. 🥸🤓🥸

I emailed Andy at the weekend. He said he voted for himself by post last week. So it's probably under Mare's bed 🛌

""Not keeping an eye on the voting then donavan- only from fear that I will win. Pretty soon, though, I will be out of the loop for a bit. P.S. The only things under my bed are tumbleweeds of my hair and lots of dust. And maybe spiders. I'm not stashing anything of value like mail-in ballots under there. If anywhere, those are in probably in my in-basket at the BPPO, stuffed into a rubber band and labeled "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL MAY 30th." I am scared to open them. (I prepare for freaking out.) (Decaf Ceylon tea is on the way, though.)

Sometimes humor is subtle and makes you giggle. Other times it hits like a ton of bricks and is unfunny and offensive to a lot of people. Everything is a spectrum.

Remember on APE, AP was cancelled by his very own forum members. I'll never get that. AP went on to cancel himself on Twitter. APE was a walk in the park by comparison. Be careful what you wish for.

Mare's relentless campaigning seems to be paying off. Marra looks a shoe-in.

Be careful what you wish for. donavan, you edited your post...I was thinking that I misunderstood your original post and that I was remembering something completely different than you were. Now, I am less confused, but still unsure you are speaking of that with which I am remembering. I have no experience with Twit, so I know not of the self cancellation by and of Mr. Partridge. PM me, if you wish to elucidate.

PM me, if you wish to elucidate. I edited it before anyone replied. Just cutting to the chase. I was on about Honeycomb Jack? and the other one. They might have been the same person. They were a bit nasty to me but I could roll with them. It was a laugh. Others couldn't live with it. I've had worse shit from other people on XTC forums. But hey it's all good. AP had a bit of a breakdown on Twitter. It all got very unpleasant. He removed himself. Which was a wise move.

AP had a bit of a breakdown on Twitter. It all got very unpleasant. He removed himself. Which was a wise move. Yes, that is true, I read but took some time to puzzle over it. Yes, I was remembering Jack. Yes, there were sharp words and vehement disagreement, sad to say. I am saddened to hear Mr. Partridge left, but I did the same from FB and was the better for it. Some folks are hellbent on brandishing verbal swords to the "n"th degree, and I saw no need to parry or co-sign that bullpuckey ad nauseam. I hope Mr. Partridge knows that there are many of us who have been honored to cavort in his Playground and think of him kindly.
