Why do we still have '04 candidate avatars?
Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 08:57 PM by Ignacio Upton
We are getting to the point that we will need avatars for our growing field of candidates. However, I'm wondering why we still have the avatars from the last Presidential election. For example, Carol Mosley Braun still has two, and she has practically fallen off of the edge of the Earth (no offense to those who supported her back in '04.) And Bob Graham and Dick Gephardt still have theirs, despite being well into political retirement.

3. To Be Curious You Must Have Interest. To Have Interest There Must Be A Desired Result That Matters.
So this matters to you why?

:rofl:

7. Not necessarily.
For example, I can guarantee that I have absolutely no interest in this thread what so ever.

Yet here I am posting in it.

10. But No One Said You Were Curious.
At the time, you may have been curious as to what was contained within, and therefore had an interest, however so slight, in finding out the answer.

Now that you're here, you may have lost that curiosity and interest, and are now in the act of just being.

18. About What Specifically? I'm Curious About Lots And Lots Of Things. For Example:
Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 09:13 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
I'm still curious as to why the fuck 'C' is a letter of the alphabet. I mean, like it's TOTALLY unnecessary! Every other letter has its own unique purpose and sense of individualism, but NOT 'C'! Nope. C is just an impostor and impersonator of other letters. I mean, it can sound like 'suh', but 'S' has got that nailed down pretty good already. It can sound like 'kuh', but then 'k' has done a pretty damn good job at that all its own. So what the fuck do we need a 'C' for? That's what I'm curious about.


(I mean it doessssss have the property of making the 'chuh' sound when placed next to an 'H', but it still needs the 'H'. If anything, why not have just given 'C' its uniqueness and individuality and just simply made it sound like 'chuh'?)

20. why are bough and cough pronounced so differently also?
boff? cow? I hadn't thought about C, will consider it more. Why "Q"? Seems K would take care of that too.

23. If You're In A Room Totally Made Of Mirrors And Turn On A Light, And All The Light Does Is Keep
Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 09:29 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME

30. why is it said "put on your shoes and socks" when that is obviously bacwards?
I like words.
Do these pants make my butt look fat? No one ever seems to be able to answer that curious question.

31. Why The Hell Are People So Obsessed With Brushing With Toothpaste, When Water Is Just As Effective?
Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 10:55 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
(and the only reason you don't think anyone's ever answered the 'does my butt look fat' question, is because those that have didn't live to tell of it :) )

4. Howard Dean is head of the DNC
Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 09:02 PM by Cheney Killed Bambi
And champions the 50 State strategy.

However, I'm considering switching to an Obama avatar.

9. I'm not arguing for getting rid of the avatars of Dean
Although I'm not sure if we still need the one of his campaign sign. We should also get rid of the Kerry avatars, especially now that Kerry isn't running.

19. Kerry's still a Senator.
And lead voice in the party, I say keep Kerry :)

Maybe reduce the number of the Kerry's one, and take out his JK for President ones.

21. That's what I meant
We should also ad ones for Webb and Tester (and hopefully to other members of Congress...although doing it for every member of our caucus in both houses is a bit much to ask.)

8. I don't think that they've ever deleted an avatar
except for the Lieberman ones that got replaced with this

I don't know how much work it would be for them to do a complete overhaul of their avatar collection.

12. I don't think it'd be a whole lot of work...
I think an avatar-creation contest would be a great idea... I'd volunteer for certain.
