thrlride for president!!!!

I herby nominate Mr. thrlride for the President of the United States of America. He will run under the saltwater fish guy independent ticket. He has assured me that when elected he will provide coffee and donuts and $1 million to each and every one of us that post here in the lounge. In order to get things started we will need volunteers to help in the campaign.
If you are interested in jumping aboard please post a reply in this thread.

Steve

Spelling or being able to put together a coherent sentence are obviously not requirements for high governmental positions.
So yes, Mr. god_of_wolves has seconded the motion and is hereby nominated as vice president. We now need to second the motion for Mr. god_of_wolves as vice president.

Reef Central does not allow posts that are political in nature.

Please discontinue this unsanctioned election or face being flogged with a dead herring.

Mr. thrlride, can you tell us what other changes you will be making once elected? Oh, and all of the others that have joined Mr. thrlrides cabinet, feel free to state the changes you will make as well. I have already written the pickle throwing thing down for future reference.

I can't figure out if this statement was made in biblical terminology or if it's a quote from a Monty Python movie.

First order of business will be to not allow companies to outsource to other nations.
Second order of business will be to limit the salary of CEO's to that of which does not exceed 20x the lowest paid employee of said company.

What position would you like to fill?

We have the president, we have the VP.

I think we need a secretary of defense.

One of the gear heads here needs to do something with the motorcade. Some really cool high performance cars would be good. Of course they would have to be equipped with the usual bulletproof glass, ejector seats, automatic rifles that pop out someplace, rocket launchers and so on.

Mr. President, I kindly request the dissambly of the organization currently known as PETA.

Also, we need someone in charge of Heath and Human Services.
