I just had some fun with one of them campaign calls.

Grizzly · Apr 5, 2011

I didn't recognize the number and should have just let it go,
 
"Hello, we're calling from the campaign of X, and we're wondering if we can count on your support."
 
"I don't think so, you see I am a supporter of Groucho and John"
 
"Pardon me?"
 
"Yeah, I'm a Marxist-Lennonist." 
<blink>
 
*click*

Phone drone probably didn't even get the joke. Next time tell them you support Sacco and Vanzetti. See if they know what you're talking about.

This constituency would vote a Poo-flinging monkey in if they were for Party X. I don't know why they bother calling.

Poor bastards have to run in a Canadian Federal election because of how they were treated in the US of A.
 
Somebody said they were a couple of stiffs though.

Typical of anarchists, though.
 
 
 
 
Truth be told, though, it happened so long ago, I'd bet that a lot of people don't know who they were. Obviously I only know about them from my 20th Century US History in 10th grade. I'm surprised I remember them at all.

"Crosby Stills Nash Young Taylor Reeves Merryl Lynch Pierce, Sacco and Vanzetti" ring a bell?

At least you know where you stand with a poo-flinging monkey.

Yes. I am.
 
I listened to that album over and over.
 
Also Big Bambu. Even had the rolling paper. Wish I hadn't thrown that out. I hear it's worth something now.
 
Also, had that Jethro Tull Thick As a Brick with the newspaper inside it. Well, used to have it. And Alice Cooper School's Out with the panties on the record. Same fate. 
 
And their all worth a lot of money now.

"Sister Mary Elephant" is ESPECIALLY funny when you go to Catholic School.

Sadly, even after they were executed they were still the two best for the team.

I can't believe they changed the French Language debate to a day the Habs aren't playing. I had plans for dinner and a movie on Wednesday, and now I'm going to have to DVR the debate.

Grizzly · Apr 11, 2011

Compreds-tu le francais?

willrun4chocolate · Apr 11, 2011
