Would you pledge allegiance to Captain Crunch for $50,000?

[IdaBriggs]

Its been a couple of weeks, so most of us have probably forgotten that scary "Terrorist Ring" apprehended in Florida a while back -- you know, the "Liberty Seven" who were approached by an FBI agent to be recruited into al-Quaeda. If I'm understanding the story correctly, these guys (who fed homeless people and had trouble paying their electric bills) tentatively agreed to help al-Quaeda in a vague "sure" way if someone gave them fifty grand.

Without intending to impugn anyone's patriotism, I now put forth this question:

Would *YOU* pledge allegiance to Captain Crunch (of breakfast cereal fame) in return for fifty thousand dollars, and a vague promise to help him take over the world sometime in the future?

And, as a follow-up question, would *YOU* join the Republican Party *FOR REAL* for the same amount of money?

1. Captain Crunch always tears up the roof of my mouth

but SIGN ME UP!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. Me too!

It's like eating tasty razors. x(

16. "like eating tasty razors"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
So true, so true...

18. "Cap'n Crunch was the crack of my generation. Even when the

roof of my mouth was bleeding, "Where's the crunch, Mom?! I need the CRUNCH!"

lol

[DinahMoeHum]

3. Sorry, but my price is a lot higher.

More than those assholes could afford.

:evilfrown:

[EFerrari]

17. Tell 'em to call me.

The Capt, not the Crooks. :)

4. Other

I've already pledged my allegience to Toucan Sam.

[DiverDave]

5. The Cap is the SHIZZLE!

loven them crunch berrys.

6. I like the Peanut Butter best.

Although my husband also loves the Crunch Berry's.

We never seem to get the "original" ones. Hmmm....

[reichstag911]

7. Nope. I go CUCKOO for Cocoa Puffs! nt

[Frank Cannon]

8. Well, technically it's Cap'n Crunch

But I don't see a problem with aligning myself with either for 50Gs. If I joined the Republicans, I at least could write in Scott Baio during the Republican primary, then vote for whoever I wanted in the rigged election.

9. Captain Picard yes, but Cap'n Crunch?

And you wouldn't even have to pay me the 50 thou. :evilgrin:

10. some pledge of allegiance to "Captain Crunch"

would be one thing -

"a vague promise to help him take over the world sometime in the future?" doesn't sound like a good idea - esp. if it's like a contract where you are getting paid - the people might expect you to hold up your side of the "agreement". IOW - one should expect consequences.

11. Only Lucky, cause he's

magically delicious!

On edit:
That didn't come out quite right. lol

12. The actual oath.

I <state your name> do solumnly swear (or affirm) to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States, and those of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, so help me God.

It's pretty specific. You follow orders faithfully, but only within the law. First and foremost, your allegience is to the Constitution, which is the embodiment of the American way of life. The problem begins when the President, whose orders you swore to uphold, becomes an enemy of the Constitution, the defense of which is the very reason you wear the uniform of America's armed forces. Which part of your oath do you break, or do you merely declare that what the President wants to help you do is against the law, and therefore not covered by your oath? Are you prepared to spend some time in Leavenworth (or worse) to back up your assertion that you are not obligated to help the President break the law?

[Bretttido]

13. Both Yes, but I would stab the Republican party in the back with the money

Then return to the democrats after I spent it all. :evilgrin:

14. Raisin Bran was good enough for my grandfather, it's good enough for me.

Just kidding. There's always some knee-jerk reactionary who pledges blind adherence to whatever he grew up with, no matter what.

(Actually, I'm not sure Raisin Bran is that old anyway. :()

[Spirochete]

15. Yes, but don't tell the Cheerios people

I've already hit them up for 25,000.

Not so positive about the republican thing, though.
