The discussion centers around the ongoing voting process for a PF Award, with a strong emphasis on maintaining a clean and moral campaign. A user, tribdog, humorously references advice from their mother to avoid slandering opponents and to run an ethical campaign despite the competitive atmosphere. There are mentions of various candidates and their questionable pasts, including allegations of scandals, which add a comedic tone to the conversation. Participants express skepticism about the integrity of the voting process, suggesting potential ballot stuffing and favoritism among candidates. The thread also features playful banter about a fictional "Sex Party" ticket, with members jokingly nominating themselves and others for various categories. Overall, the thread combines humor with commentary on the nature of online voting and campaigning, highlighting the absurdities and rivalries that arise in such contexts.

Would I seem weird if I said, "I want to win so bad." I'm actually nervous. I made myself stay offline today so that I wouldn't be constantly checking the voting. I told the guy at work I was nominated and that I wanted to win and he thought I needed to park the truck and let him drive because I was probably drunk.

You mean you aren't glued to your computer constantly refreshing the polls to see the latest numbers as they come in like the rest of us? You've got a huge lead! Everyone wants to see you thrown into a volcano it seems. :smile:

Graphic7, are you asking to affiliate with the Sex Party? There's always a place for *cough* technology *cough* in the Sex Party. I haven't voted in that category yet, so we can still put you on the ticket.

Does the Sex Party accept minors? I'm not declining the invite, but the number of pedos that I've observed roaming PF is increasing, not that I'm complaining - stay away Tribdog. :smile:

I'm sure I can offer a bit of technological advice to the Sex Party. :devil:

Okay, we announce the nomination of graphic7 for Technology Guru by the SEX Party.

(Just remember, since you're underage, you're not allowed in that back room during the inaugural ball).

We're an easy party to join, the first person to ask to join from each category will be supported by us.

We still need candidates in the Physics category (it's all about motion); the Engineering category (building a better tomorrow); the Astronomy & Cosmology category (when it's out of this world); and the Math category (they like to multiply). :biggrin:

If I start being known as a pedophile I'm going to get upset. I bet fifty bucks that just because someone wrote tribdog is a pedophile, my name has been added to a list somewhere.

Oh no! tribdog's been added to a list in Canada!

The Mounties will be riding into Arizona any minute and carting him off to McMacintyre's Moose Appreciation Facility and Hospital for the Mentally Unlikely!

I guess that means the vote you got wasn't you voting for yourself. Cool!

By the way, everyone, I'm officially announcing that I'm running on the Sex Party Ticket. Remember, cast your votes for the Sex Party! :smile:
Your party name makes me want to vote over and over. They say that will make you go blind, but can I vote until I need glasses?

yeah, with that as a party name, no other party has a chance, unless it is "More Sex Party" or "Non-Stop Sex Party" :biggrin:

Yes, a name like that is very hard to beat. You can try until you're worn out, but they will probably take all comers.

I know, I know. But sex puns are just so much fun.
:redface:

And besides, I am trying to compete with Math is Hard's "Ample bosom," from page one and Moonbear's sex party, which she never invited me to join 'sniff,' 'sniff.' :cry:

It's like my mother said on her deathbed, "tribdog, there is nothing I want more cough than to see you win a PF Award. cough cough. Please don't resort to slandering any of the people running against you. cough. I know that jimmy p doesn't call his mother, and we all remember what Boulderhead said about Greg, cough, but don't bring it up. It doesn't matter that Artman, Saint, Bobg, recon and The Bob are all members of the flat Earth society and don't believe man walked on the moon. You don't need to bring it up. cough Also run a moral campaign. cough. It will be hard, cough, especially when you see the total lack of morals from Tsunami, moonbear and Math is hard. Just remember I love you tribdog and I think that I might find the strength to recover if I can see you win an award."
Actually I thought that dear old mom tribdog's last words were, "Tribby dear, you shouldn't hang around the toy stores all the time, cough, cough, people will begin to wonder about you, cough, and...Dear, why are you holding that pillow in front of my face? I...cough, cough, Oh, if only that dear sweet Artman were here...cough. (muffled) tribby dear let mommy breathe dear, cough, cough, ahhhhhhh." Or something like that.

I think Tribdog lost his chance to slip under the radar and is finding out no publicity can be good publicity.

I've never slipped under the radar in my life. My normal mode of operation is to attempt slipping under the radar, but tripping and busting my nose on the dish, knocking out air traffic control over 2/3 of the Western Hemisphere and drawing more attention than wanted.
Speaking of Western Hemisphere. I learned something today. Director Oliver Stone gave me a geography lesson. He said shooting the movie Alexander the Great was difficult because they worked on 4 different continents: North America, Africa, London and Asia.
