OK, I'm missing the last two posts. Quotes but no post otherwise. Intended? Or something screwy w/the forum?

Renegade accidentally put his response within the quote - Stephen was pointing that out for him I guess.

This is the only guy I'm voting for in 2012.

Not a bad choice. Better than most, but there is a better alternative...

Okay... I have 2 questions.

1. Have you people completely lost you minds?!?

2. Where do I get a bumper sticker of that first one?

1. Have you people completely lost you minds?!?

That's kind of the point now, isn't it? Vote in Cthulhu to bring in his city of R'lyeh -- non-euclidean geometry that drives onlookers over the brink of sanity into the abyss madness.

I've not lost my mind yet. That's why I'm voting for depravity and straight jackets!

(You gotta admit... It's a better option than anything we have now. :P )

2. Where do I get a bumper sticker of that first one?

It's pretty good. Here's one:

http://www.cafepress.com/+cthulhu_for_president_bumper_sticker,228388315

I couldn't find one for it though.

Oh well... It helps to remember... Jesus loves you. Cthulhu thinks you taste like chicken. :P

Ok, I think since this initially came up as a weekend thing, we probably owe it to people to try to explain the madness. It started with some relaxed TGIF discussion in the irc channel (this is an excerpt, I omitted some stuff):

[16:23] <@Stephen66> Im going to dedicate this weekend to trolling the DC forum
[16:24] <@mouser> :)
[16:24] <@mouser> what does that even mean trolling the dc forum
[16:26] <@Stephen66> Quote stuff, then put the source as a completely different website
[16:26] <@Stephen66> RickRoll everybody
[16:27] <Jibz> post "funny" cat pictures as replies to everything
[16:27] <@Stephen66> lmfao yeah
[16:28] <@Stephen66> pure image replies
[16:28] <@Stephen66> even when I have something constructive to say...add my reply, over pictures of furry animals
[16:28] <Jibz> I bet you could make a script that just grabbed a random picture off icanhascheezburger and replies with it
[16:28] <@Stephen66> more fun to manually do it
[16:29] <Jibz> mouser is sitting there going "hmm, this is not going to end well"
[16:29] <@Stephen66> means I get to go through stupid websites for stuff
[16:29] <@Stephen66> lol
[16:29] * @mouser nods
And from there it kind of just escalated, and most of it ended up in this thread. It was fun to see other people chime in :Thmbsup:.

Had a feeling it would be something like that, but I just don't have time to hangout in the channel.

Actually my first question was just a setup line for the second one ... I really do want one of those stickers. ;)
