Hello community.

Due to moderator neglect recent circumstances, it has fallen on me to announce and to prepare the community for the coming days ahead. We all know what these days are. American Election Days. AED is legendary for the amount of wharrgarrbling gibberish it generates. We, I'm afraid, are no more immune to this than any other.

I'm sorry to say that for the next 7 months, this community, as well as many others, will be inundated with a growing avalanche of once-off partisans, dilettante extraordinaires, feverish heroes and howling prophets. There is nothing that can be done. Many will fall victim to this natural disaster. Some of us won't make it. Others will be confused, drawn away, and lost forever.

So what I say now, fellow community members, is this:

No matter how much we detest what we have to say to one another, we are not them! We are here, in off-years as well as election years. We are here when no one else cares. We argue, debate, and insult every day, over every thing, and we must stick together! We all know who we are. We all know who is who and what is what. Take this time now to remember, and to hold fast against the coming hordes. Only together can we survive. Only with strength and conviction in our wonkish, obsessive ways can we weather the storm that is on the horizon.

Be brave! Be brave!

We need to get our in-jokes sorted. I demand plenty of pants on the ground donkey.

I fail to see how this isn't the status quo.

I dunno, I've seen some pretty intense food wank. My favourite is bagged milk wank. Cracks me up every time.

As a young man I once gave myself an injury whilst engaged in a cocaine wank. I stuck to weed after that.

On the 12th month of the election year my true love gave to me:

FIVE... WHARRGARRBLINGS....

Four howling prophets,

Three feverish heroes,

Two dilettante pros,

And a avalanche of once-of paaaaarrrtissaaaaans.

Is this like... the Hunger Games... of politics? Which candidate do you think would win in a Hunger Games-style competition? Or even just an MMA-style fight?

Wait, when did we ever have that here?
OK we got telemann for music, lots of people for art (if one concedes macros are art)(oh and Jerseycajun) but I'll be darned who we got for culture.

Depends on your definition

I love you, jeff, bruce, underlankers, geezer, kylinrouge, 404, bogey, panookah, michael, sophia and everyone else who consistently drives me nuts by being so totally wrong about every damn thing all the damn time. You're all crazy, stupid and wrong and you have a special place in my heart. <3

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
