[Melissa G]

9. See How much fun this Bunch is? Come take the plunge and sign up!

If you are doing the thread it takes about one or two hours a day..Helping is about one hour...

We Give lessons!! You get to be Creative and post fun graphics...You can even do some commentary and trash your favorite election thief! I'm partial to Tom Delay. Have i had fun this year??? You KNOW IT!!!

[autorank]

20. MelissaG is correct. Your only censor is reality and look how open

ended that is lately. Commenting is fun and you make new friends in state capitols around the country.

I've seen them all, and this is the best election news service on the net, especially since it got reorganized by you along with FogerRox's excellent efforts.

You'll like it, have fun, and gain prestige across the information super highway.

Why, after doing this, I even won the state lottery mega millions on several different occasions.

It's the best.

[livvy]

[autorank]

19. A free years subscription to PsyRadio for someone to take Tue or

:yourock:

[autorank]

37. Guy doesn't look at all like Robert Montgomery;)

It is nice to see Don again, but he's still black and white. I guess he has to be that small to get in the TV.

[EFerrari]

40. I was surprised that such an important personage didn't

have better search rep.

My favorite local radio show uses his clips.

:)

[autorank]

28. OK, so I now have Monday, which I'll release late Sunday evening.

Just making sure we've got the understanding down.

You're right, Sunday is a good day, it pours in all day too. I'll get stuff when I start searching after the Sunday post is out listed as '1 hour ago' and so forth right through midnight Sunday.

Thanks MelissaG

[EFerrari]

I was sort of nervous about taking on Thursday. Now, it's the quiet, interesting part of my day.

I hope you enjoy it! This is a really amazing year. If you have any problems or questions, go ahead and PM Wilms.

:rofl:

Or me or anyone.

:hi:

[EFerrari]

33. What would it take to close the deal?

lol

:smoke:

:rofl:

[autorank]

62. freedomfries, Where the heck have you been?

Hanging in Central Ohio with Chapelle, fronting for the Fuggies? You write this?

Rollin' With the Fuggies

Here's the thing. We here at Go Fug Yourself are SO PLEASED by how good Brittany Murphy looks....from the neck up. She's abandoned the unfortunate blonde look in favor of her own naturally brunette locks. She looks so much prettier with the new hair -- and the couple of extra pounds she's added helps. She's certainly still slim, but she looks healthy and happy.

But. The outfit.

Priceless!

[autorank]

42. ERD Posters, COME ON DOWN.. Time to Ca$h in!!!!!!!!!

MelissaG&B, sfexpat2000, rumpel, kpete, livvy,
and all the other posters (tell me & I'll edit if
I left anyone out)

COME ON DOWN
It's time to cash in.

Welcome to

P s y R A D I O . F M + finest electroniX on web +

Thats Mr. & Mrs. Autorank in the studios. They're telling
you (if they could talk) that you all have a free lifetime
of the station subscription. Just enter this URL in your
WinAmp, iTunes or other player and you're ready to go.
http://www.psyradio.org/



But there is more, you all get a box of the worlds best chocolates
for your tireless devotion and humiliating me by posting at least
twice as many news items on average;)

But there's even more. What DUer gift assortment is complete
without, yes, you guessed it, your very own CAT (2nd through nth)


Finally, you are all recipients of this suitable for framing
Internet edition of the Goddess poster. Enjoy.

[EFerrari]

48. That's IT!

[Melissa G]

49. LOL! awesome smilile! Where are our asst editors? Help we need you!

[EFerrari]

50. Maybe we're scaring them.

And in a way that may be right.

The ERD isn't a job for the faint of heart.

Unless they have back up




:shrug:

[Melissa G]

52. LOL! is that West Side Story?

[EFerrari]

53. When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way. From your first cigarette

to your last dying day.

:rofl:

[autorank]

56. Thuggery on the threads.

That's a nice crew. Which one is your guy :evilgrin: (I'm running for cover, probably moving out of state to avoid the blow back...but you didn't like my carefully selected selection of gifts :cry:).

I've done a bunch of these and I've only been harassed twice (and I'm a target for that sort of thing;). In both cases is was a little guest appearance to create one of those descending horizontal lines that hijacks the thread; but I didn't go for the bait and it didn't work. That's a pretty good record for having done maybe 150 or so of these.

How about this for a slogan: "ERD News Duty, the safest place to post in the Elections Forum"

[EFerrari]

57. I'd spring for a shirt or a cap or a something!

It's really hot here, auto, and my social skills are tanking.

I'll come up with a prize for every recruit.

Not authrorized, of course. :evilgrin:

[autorank]

54. Holy Cow, I gave you my damn cat;) What more can you ask for?

A pound of flesh?

[EFerrari]

55. Only the Shadow knows.

:rofl:

[autorank]

38. wow, 'bail when the mods change'

:think: Hmm... nobody ever told me that. I think I was hood winked;)

[EFerrari]

39. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Reaaaaaaaaaaaally?

:think:

[Melissa G]

41. Yeah, if you bail after the mods change, you need to find your

own replacement.. New rule that I just made up! :think:

And .. and ..if you give me grief while we are trying to find people it may be your turn to volunteer to coordinate! :evilgrin:

How is that for some ideas, Hermana?? :toast:

[EFerrari]

43. Ay! LOL! Hey --I won't give up my little Thursday for anything!

So don't even TRY to make me give it up. :)


I nominate you for the Originator of Ideas!

:rofl:

[Melissa G]

44. Hey, i just heard they stole the 2004 election with 2.2 million Latiino

Votes which were moved over from Kerry to the Shrub column! To be rebroadcast on Sunday if you missed it!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=442444&mesg_id=442444

edit to reflect sfexpat's comment

[EFerrari]

45. Kick

:kick:

On edit: that would be STOLEN LATINO VOTES because Latinos, we voted for Kerry.

:kick:

[Melissa G]

46. okay I edited to reflect your edit...

[EFerrari]

47. . . Thank you. I still see posts on DU that say, well, hey,

"they" vote for Republicans.

DU: Listen up! Latinos know better than most people how elections are rigged and how much you can count on Republicants to take care of the people. Not as in socialism, but as in, keeping your word.

Latinos, the great majority, are not FOOLED. After all these predatory presidents, we'd pretty much have to get a lobotomy to be fooled.

eom

[EFerrari]

51. okay I edited to reflect your edit of my edit, just to avoid

confusion.

:evilgrin:

[Melissa G]

30. Here is a sample of livvy's fine work! Go vote it up! 28 posts

and only 9 votes?.. We can do better for our team! Give me two mouse clicks for an R (and some volunteers for asst editors!)

Livvy's Saturday thread is here! Vote it up!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=442261&mesg_id=442261

[EFerrari]

35. We work Fri nights, so I failed to be a good helper for livvy.

Ack.

But someone who has a little quiet on a Saturday morning will have a great time working with livvy.

:kick:

[kpete]

58. free gifts?

I was saving this for my son - But I love you guys...

You let me do things my way!

[autorank]

60. Your free gift kpete...

Nice video. Very tasteful. Your son is a luck boy.

btw, I saw the last note, the orignal, that Sid Viscious wrote. Waaaaay out there...

Enjoy your gifts.

[livvy]

59. Wow...I leave the house for a short evening out....

and I missed the party here! Very funny thread.
So, Auto, how do I collect my cat, or would you rather I send you mine? He's very sweet, and has a preference for the kitchen table, just out of the reach of my pack of bouviers.

[autorank]

61. Well, here are the gifts. Does my post have

cooties or something :rofl: I'm getting a complex...

http://tinyurl.com/rbffh

Cat exchange...hmmm...Grayhound or Parcel Post? Mine is a great cat...just sits on the back
of my chair, follows me to the door when I leave, there when I get back...and tidy. Yours
sounds pretty outstanding too. Let's keep them. Substitute gift will show up sometime soon on
a news thread, subtly placed.

[livvy]

63. Deal accepted. Outstanding gifts, by the way! n/t

[OzarkDem]

64. Ok, I'll help

Its time to kick this into high gear here in Ohio.

[Melissa G]

65. Yea!!!! Ozark Dem! We need an asst editor on any of five days

What day or days would you like?

[livvy]

66. Woot for OzarkDem!

Great decision. Welcome aboard!

[Melissa G]

67. We need 4 more asst editors!!! Where are you hiding???

Come out, come out, wherever you are!!! It is only an hour a day! Come play with us!
