And the dead arose and appeared to many

June 5th, 2009

I hate election days.

The only good thing about them is that we will hopefully see the last of those fucking election posters.  I am pissed off from endlessly seeing the same faces every time I go out.  Is it a prerequisite that you have to be an ugly fucker before you can stand for election?  That certainly seems to be the case in my area.

Of course I voted.  Several times.

Then I had to move to a different polling station because they were getting suspicious.  They must have been using Twitter or something because that place got suspicious too.  That is a terrible shame as I still have dozens of polling cards left over.

I take my civic responsibilities very seriously and believe in casting my vote.  I know the dead of my parish [and several other parishes] hold the same views and that is why I vote on their behalf.

Just because you are dead, doesn’t mean you don’t still have rights?

I just nipped home for a quick mug of tea and a piss, and I’m off again shortly.  I have a busy afternoon ahead of me.

Myself and the lads are going to do the rounds of the stations again.  This time we will be having a little distraction from our normal sport.

  • Fianna Fáil Candidate – 200 points.
  • Green Candidate – 300 points [rarity value].
  • Pro government voter – 40 points.
  • Any child wearing a FF or Green sticker – 60 points [smaller target].
  • Pro-government Independent Candidate – 250 points.

I’m hoping for the County Trophy, so it is going to be a long day.

Wish me luck.

And does anybody want a couple of dozen polling cards?

    Robert – I doubt/hope you won’t need them, but a courier is on his way anyway.

    I have to say that i cant wait for the scary looking posters from certain parties to be taken down. Its does not matter how many times you people smile down at me from the green party or the labour party i am still not going to vote for you. Idiots i have to say that with the amount of junk mail that i have got from certain parties it will certainly make for a good bonfire that i might start up later.

    In honor of David Carradine please mount a large blade to the front of your vehicle and run over your targets. While it has been a long time since I saw the film, I believe they gave extra points for killing officials. I think politicians certainly should fall in that group.

    Welcome Seamus!  Apparently it’s from the bible – Matthew 27:52.  I surprise myself sometimes :|
