Last weekend while visiting friends, we discovered in the blue 'booklet' (the guide book that comes in the mail for all the ballot initiatives etc.) that there was a list of all the third parties. In addition to the usual Green parties and Libertarians, there was also the Heartquake 08 party. WTF?
This led us to designing our own parites. The first party to gain notariety (its already got members on Facebook which makes it legit right?) is the Awareness party. We debated the merrits of various mascots. The owl? Nah, too Hooters.
We finally settled on the Marmot.
Although I thought the Gopher from this video might have been better, at least more dramatic.
Then we came up with slogans. "For a better Aware-ica." "Becoming more Aware-ica." "Building Aware-ica."
The problem is that a political party is no fun without a rival party. So what is the rival to the Awareness party? The Intuition Party. It was difficult to choose a mascot for this party but we're thinking of using a salmon since they follow their instincts.
Plus they're badasses who swim upstream.
Badass got me thinking, the ultimate in rival parties would be Escalante's Political Party: The Animosity Party. No party has more rivals, more enemies, more animosity than the Animosity Party. And no mascot is more prepared for the job of kicking political ass than Escalante. There'd be no wussie-boy gesturing like those Republicrats fist first
and Democrans with their do nada peace signs.
The Animosity Party will put their middle finger to the law!
With Escalante back from his rejuvinating trip to Denver, to lead them, the Animosity Party will write off the establishment with their teeth if necessary!

I can certainly think of worse ways of dealing with not smoking than masturbating. And I already loved swearing.
ReplyDeleteNote to self: if badly in need of sex-see person who has recently quit smoking. Oh wait, I have a friend down the street who just quit... feel like visiting?
I thought a marmot was a mythological creature from old cartoons.
ReplyDeleteWhoops...thats a "varmint."
