2nd Annual Plan B Person of the Year Award

[wesw]

that s ok jim. better to have a swell ground flat , than a flat ground swell....

[Joe Guy]

I think the fix is in and everyone will end up with the same number of votes. We will then form a tontine and the last to die inherits the title and all the appurtenances.
(You have those, right Joe?)

I reject your idea of the tontine with its appurtenances.

Regulations must be instituted fairly and unwritten, being necessary to the integrity of a chalk free slate. The right of a living person to bear the Plan B Person of the Year Award shall not be infringed.

Just how does this work now??

Do I have to go to Iowa? Do I get to debate Rick Santorum and Ted Cruz? (If so, can I use enhanced interrogation techniques?) Do I have to stop palling around with Bill Ayers? Where the hell is all the PAC money?

I just walked over to Obama's house to ask the Secret Service if I could borrow the Presidential campaign bus, but they said no. So if anybody needs to get in touch with me I'll be out in the driveway working on converting my van into a campaign bus.

There are many ways to deal with this election but I sense that the majority just waits to see who is chosen with the least bit of current personal effort. Everyone doesn't want to appear anxious to receive this great honorable annual recognition, so some say very little to convince the rest of us that they are the best choice.

The truth is that the recipient of this award will be respected and admired and the runners up will be respected and admired also, but the runners up will not be respected as much as this years ultimate holder of the 2nd Annual Plan B Person of the Year Award.

It is not really a contest. The "winner" will be the person who is chosen, not for his or her talent or looks, but for his or her interesting qualities and what he/she brings to the board - good or bad.

As far as I'm concerned, it means quite something to anyone who is willing to understand that it can be quite something. That is the mysterious nature of the 2nd Annual Plan B Person of the Year Award.

I thought to myself that this Board might be a better place for a few minutes if we were to have one of us chosen for the 2nd Annual Plan B Person of the Year Award. Of course I alone reserve the power to designate who will be receiving the 2nd Annual Plan B Person of the Year Award should there be any question as to whom it might be.

Questions and/or challenges will be dealt with in a fair and equal way in the interest of preserving the integrity of this small circle of friends. I assure you that the person chosen will be actually chosen and may not even require my powerful ability to designate who is what and why you ain't.

That's all I can say for now as I am currently meditating with my cat, Jojo, who is the holder of all secrets unknown to anyone but himself.

Carry on but don't hurt yourself...

[MajGenl.Meade]

That's it. A lady must go under the bus so I can vote for rubato. If nominated I shall not run, etc. Are there extra votes for humility? For modesty?

Look >>>>> i hop the winner is you're favourite and get's the prize... I can change! I can change!

PS a pity if something were to happen to Jojo... Joe. Jus' sayin'

[oldr_n_wsr]

I don't do pols.
And will resign my post if I win.
Please vo te for the homeless man on the corner who spits on your windshield and then want a $1 to clean off the spit. He needs a new squeegee so donate what you can.

[Lord Jim]

Looks like now it's shaping up to be a race between rube and Meade...

ETA:

I just walked over to Obama's house to ask the Secret Service if I could borrow the Presidential campaign bus, but they said no.

Gee, the way the Secret Service has been operating lately, I'm surprised you didn't find it in the parking lot unlocked and unattended with the keys in the ignition...

[Joe Guy]

Are there extra votes for humility? For modesty?

You will never know.

Look >>>>> i hop the winner is you're favourite and get's the prize... I can change! I can change!

That's a good start. Now try changing your name to ease and acting more like wesw.

PS a pity if something were to happen to Jojo... Joe. Jus' sayin'

Threatening a black cat on the internet is not only a bad idea it is an act that could divide this nation. I've copied the text of your threat and sent it to a person I know who works for the federal government. You might want to consider moving to a third world country.

In other news, the excitement surrounding the 2nd Annual Plan B Person of the Year Award is taking on new proportions that it would not have done if it had remained the same as it was before new proportions were added.

More on that later...

[MajGenl.Meade]

You might want to consider moving to a third world country.

You've not been to NE Ohio then?

[Lord Jim]

This just came in across the wire:

Associated Press- 1/5/15- 3:47 PM PST-

Seven men, two of whom are reported to be employed by The Committee To Elect Rubato Plan B Person Of The Year, have been arrested while attempting to install bugging devices at the Meade For Plan B Person Of The Year campaign headquarters.

A spokesperson for the CTERPBPOTY has emphatically denied that Mr. Rubato had any knowledge of their actions, and promised a full investigation.

[BoSoxGal]

[Joe Guy]

Absolutely unacceptable.

Will this be referenced as rubato-gate or Meade-gate?

Pardon me while I meet with my committee on rule nuances. (Better known as C.O.R.N.) I assure everyone that something will be done including doing nothing if necessary.

[Lord Jim]

And again we have a new ball game!

Yesterday it looked like Meade and rube were going to run away with it...

But they've dropped back and while they still lead, Guin and BSG are now nipping at their heels just one vote back...

With the rest of the pack not far behind...

Very interesting turn of events, Jim. Bye the way, is it appropriate for you to say that Guin and BSG are nipping at Meade's and rube's heels? Makes it sound like some weird kinda sex game involving women pecking at men's feet... uh... what's the question? And the rest of the pack? I don't wanna go there....

Oh.. and....The Meade group and the rube group appear to have similar strategies in regards to juggling votes. Either that or they change their minds a lot. Whatever the cause it has brought great thrills to this event.

In other news, the C.O.R.N. met to discuss alleged illegal actions of two candidates last night. I'm withholding their names to save keystrokes. We met from 10 PM to 3 AM and finally realized there was nothing to talk about.

I'll keep the board updated on any news as it happens.

In the meantime, remember that your vote means something. Only the person who eventually receives the most votes will care what that means and will very likely not share that information.

Now go do your homework and keep voting and unvoting. It won't be long before you lose that ability.

[Joe Guy]

rubato is in the hot seat!!!

By popular outrage not shown here since there is none at this time, C.O.R.N. has scheduled a second meeting to discuss the accusations that have been made against rubato and company, who has been very suspiciously non-present, which proves that he is actually present in the minds of some of our readers.

What I can confirm is this: rubato has people who tend to vote for and with him and he tends to vote with some similarity to the voters that vote similarly to him.

Bugging devices have been detected in rubato's headquarters by rubato's anti-bugger people, but there is some question as to whether the devices were placed there by Meade and company or were actually planted by rubato in order to review the audio and remember what he has said, since most of his meetings involve large amounts of alcoholic beverages imbibed by people with too much time on their hands. It is alleged that several discussions were recorded about the joys of having one's heels nipped.

There will not be any outside interference or action from any policing agency until the votes are all counted and the 2nd Annual Plan B Person of the Year Award has been received by the 2nd Annual Plan B Person of the Year.

I've instituted the Premature Interference Accusation of Malfeasance Proclamation (PIAMP) which allows us to follow through unabated by the usual tactics employed by various government agencies and other people of little intelligence .

The 2nd Annual Plan B Person of the Year will be given and I assure the public a splendid time is guaranteed for all...

Carry on! Eat, Drink and Vote often.

Thank you.

[Joe Guy]

I suppose now would be a good time to introduce rubato. He is an American in Santa Cruz California who lives with his lovely and highly valuable wife. His marriage allows him to display excessive affluence, stories of travel, beekeeping, offer his brand of humor and insults that lead one to wonder what he means to say.

He is a friend of Obamacare and anything Obama-like and it is thought by many that he might be a black person imitating a white person who supports black people. He doesn't appear to agree with anyone who is republican and will sometimes use the word to disparage others, as in, "You are as stupid as Ronald Reagan!"

His perceived political views of others are obviously what he uses to decide whether or not to befriend or support another person. He is exactly what he is. Vote for him if you suspect he is correct and have his respect.

Then there is MajGenl.Meade. He survived the Civil war and lived to tell about it. He personally knew many of the players. It was not easy for him to survive with all of the lack of today's amenities however he had a higher power guiding him that made everything he did bearable. He has written books, stories and poems that will go down in history as some of the most deeply thought out and expressed words known to man.

He loves you whether you are republican or democrat but he disagrees with you based on your opinion being different than his.

He didn't want to 'twas all he had got and then he got here somehow. Vote for him if he is your favorite candidate.

Others will be discussed possibly prior to the final vote, but other writers should chyme in.

Cheerio....

To Mrs. George G. Meade

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, January 6, 2015.

My last letter was written on the 26th, during Boxing day, which lasted off and on from 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the 26th to dark of the 28th, day and night. It is so difficult to collect the entire army's boxes and my legs ache. Hearing of this struggle, Mr. Lincoln honored the army with his presence outside Kent this afternoon, and was so gracious as to say he had seen you in Cuyahoga Falls, etc., etc. Mr. Lincoln brought with him the Monday edition of the New York Times with news of the Plan B Forum, and the contested vote thus far. My total votes are 2,419 with rubato 1,402, inexplicably presented as though he also has obtained 2,419. Sadly, Guin has only 3 votes and even Jeb Bush has more. In accordance with the requirements and traditions of our political upbringing, I shall of course retire to the countryside, perhaps the new concourse at Kent State, and make myself unavailable to the media for comment. I shall await vindication in silence and consider what to do with all these used boxes. Sergeant sends greetings and urges you to remind all of our acquaintance to purchase my new book, Meade - the Change You Need

[Joe Guy]

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
