Merged Former Forumite Running For Congress

[Undesired Walrus]

Yes, but is he going to put legislation forward to develop the Robosnipe?

My own invention (unless it’s already been done) – The ROBOSNIPE – With a hand free of muscle tremor and the ability to fire rounds with enough power to knock any human’s arm out of the socket, the Robosnipe can be placed on rooftops or other strategic locations, especially within cities. It’s operator can aim the gun remotely using high prevision optics and range finding.

With lightning fast reflexes, the system can be set to follow an individuals head, waiting for the right time to fire. It can also be set so to abort a fire command, if another person walks into the line of fire the millisecond the trigger is pushed. Or to shoot as soon the instant an obstacle moves.

I've often thought that it's only a matter of time before the comments that people of the internet age have written on internet forums will come back to haunt them when they run for office. Like this:

Propaganda, Propaganda, Propaganda – No Iraqi should be able to turn on a TV, pick up a newspaper or listen to the radio without seeing 100% well-crafted news, information and entertainment designed to reinforce the ideas that Iraq is improving, the insurgents are losing and the people are uniting against them. Infringing on freedom of the press? Perhaps. But although the free press is important in a democracy, what exists now is more of anarchy. Hold rallies, post signs, gloss things over. As much as we want to believe that people are too smart to be fooled by that, it’s actually scary what you can get a large population to do with enough propaganda. Get some advertising people in here. If we have propaganda, we don’t have enough. And you can never have too much!

Robosnipe is in operation, only we mount them on airborne equipment and call them "Predators."

Just so you know: No way in hell I'd vote for him. Sometimes, the wisest course of action, the most patriotic act, is to admit you're not the best choice for the job and to not run.

If he moved to my neighborhood it's very unlikely I'd invite him to my house to visit. But I'd almost certainly vote for him over my own representative in Congress- he's no more or less ridiculous.

I see you're in Berkeley. Which District?

We were in Matsui's, but now we're in Lundgren's. Neither has done us any good. So, you might have a point.

Why is anyone attributing this to noble goals? He probably figures "Hi, I'm a Congressman" will be more successful than all the pick up lines he has used to date.

More likely that he really has no intention of mounting a serious effort to be elected, and only put the website together because he thinks "I'm running for Congress, just look at my website" will be his best pick-up line yet.

 

[MattusMaximus]

He wore a lab coat to TAM 4(?), so he must be a doctor. Or at least a scientist.

I remember that now. Thanks for jogging my memory, Scrut

 

[MattusMaximus]

Well, if he gets elected, I suspect he will try to start a war with Australia to try and reclaim his one true love and to kill off the villain that stole her away.

Mrs. Athon?

Oh dear. I hope that's not the case. Mr. and Mrs. Athon are such a cool couple... the thought of Dr. Buzzo creeping on them just makes me sad.

 

[MattusMaximus]

The only way to clear that is to envision something else. How about Newt in a three-way with Calista and Marianne?

Okay, it's now official: I hate you

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Uh oh.... (from Facebook)

I hate to say this, I really do, but we're not getting the kind of contributions necessary to cover the expenses of the campaign and, as of right now, there is a real danger that the campaign will need to be suspended until more funds become available.

Please consider making a contribution. You can do so right on the site packard2012.org. The smallest that the credit card processor will allow is ten dollars. Yes, ten dollars will make a difference. A fifty dollar contribution will pay for a month of hosting, telephone and fax. A five hundred contribution will secure the campaigns immediate future.

This is a 100% grass roots effort.

Translation: My parents are going to give me any more money.

Come on people, buck up!!! We need to keep BUZZ0 in the race!

 

[Antiquehunter]

I'll send $10 if YOU send $10, Scrut.

 

[MattusMaximus]

C'mon, Scrut... do it for the lulz

 

[Horatius]

How do you launch a DoS against a person?

Stand next to them with an air horn, then blow it any time someone tries to talk to them.

 

[CriticalThanking]

A lab coat? Really? Please tell me it was for a costume event of some kind.

No. Apparently it had something to do with someone not believing he was a doctor (which he isn't) or worked in a lab or....something. I don't remember the exact bizarre reason. The thing is, I figured he would wear it until he ran into that person, they had a laugh, and he would take it off. But he wore it for two days.

IIRC, he was trying to convince tkingdoll. If I can find another brain cell or two, I will find the youtube video he did to go with it. Mutha, quit hogging all the brain cells.

I'd buy a t-shirt if he sold them.

 

[Antiquehunter]

I'd buy a t-shirt if he sold them.

Instead of the Napoleon Dynamite 'Vote for Pedro' how about 'Vote for DR BUZZ0' in the same font & style?

I think you should start a Buzzo super pac.

Now that you mention it, I think you do RC.

However, I didn't realize there was a YouTube video^*** that went with it. I sure hope you can find it!

^***Interesting historical note: If I have my dates correct, YouTube would have been only a few months old by then. BUZZ0 was on the leading edge!

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I think you should start a Buzzo super pac.

Note: It's not "Buzzo", it's "Buzz0". The "O" is actually a zero. For some reason. And to be even more technically correct, it's always capitalized - "DRBUZZ0", again, for some reason.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I wonder what a BUZZ0 supporter would be called? A BUZZ Head? A BUZZer? A BUZZbagger? Dare I suggest a BUZZcock?

How can a resident from the planet Mars run for U.S. congress?

Mars is now a US Territory. Like Guam.
