I am convinced the Totally Inappropriate Game Threads Game is one of the funniest things to hit Interference in a long time. Holy shit.
the palin thread needs a part 4 in FYM and I want to name it
"Zamboni Palin, first daughter? Or send her back to Alaska and hope her ovaries freeze off part 4"
Ha, they've put Roe vs Wade in a shredder.
What else....oh, she's wondering where Russia's gone.
Check out the TV screen. It's amazing.
Haha, I must have missed the statue of justice last time I looked.
That was new to me, though I haven't checked it in a couple of days. Charlie Brown vs Board of Education!
"We've had a database in Albemarle County for ten years or so. In all honesty, we probably have the most accurate list in the state, better than even Voter Vault." Though he acknowledged Albemarle is the exception in Virginia rather than the rule on this comparison to Voter Vault, ten years of notes collected from door-to-door conversations with neighbors have given Republicans an incredible depth of knowledge about who their voters are, and even what's going on in their lives.
Modeled by Bell and adopted by the grassroots county volunteers, notes banked into the voter database and printed onto canvass walk sheets are extremely sophisticated. "Do they have a bumper sticker? Are they expanding their house? What signs are in the window? Are they repainting? Are their kids going to college?" When a Republican canvasser returns later to that same voter's door, he or she can ask, "'How's Sally doing at Virginia Tech?' Having that kind of database is a huge edge."
God, this is just fucking CREEPY to me:

See you, Ian, and hey again, Serena!
Ha, damn. Though we thought you'd buggered off for Chinese.
You simply must read this thread: http://www.u2interference.com/forums/f296/totally-inappropriate-game-threads-game-190501.html
It has brought me much amusement this morning.
What did you vomit JUST NOW?
Nice guess! I ended up having to go home early because my ride home (aka, Ben's dad) had to go to work a few hours earlier than usual, I came home and decide I wanted Chinese.
This:
is so gross but it gave me the lulz.
Ah, right, bit of a pain. But yeah, since Chinese had come up, GG2 guessed you'd gone for that.
Pretty much everything in that thread is awesome. Ian's sequence about showering is quality.
What the fuck?Well, this suddenly went quiet.
I'm curious about what I posted not so long ago. So for the Americans here ... have you experienced anything like this? It's a mindfuck for me. I have only experienced two kinds of contact from political parties in my life:
1. Mail, generally in the form of leaflets promoting the candidate and their policies.
2. People outside polling places handing out "how to vote" cards with the relevant party's recommended preferencing order. (I take them from all parties, ignore them until after I've made my vote, then read them once I get home for a bit of amusement.)
What the fuck?
This is news to me, I didn't know people did that.
Hah.
That sort of thing seems way over the top, and I hadn't heard of it before. Kate had mentioned often getting (typically automated) campaign calls, and people putting up signs, but that was it. Which reminds me, there was a "VOTE FOR ANDRE" sign around Franklin in 2006 that she wanted to steal for me. Turned out it was for some woman with the last name of Andre running for some county position. I was thinking of using it as the start of my campaign for Emperor of the World.
