ornate line
'I believe Obama is made of finely-woven cotton...and I vote.'

So this is probably old news down in my neck of the woods, but after reading some of the comments on Miss Cellania's post about her thoughtful, articulate neighbors, I feel compelled to present more evidence as to why, if your tooth-count is in the double digits and you don't consider cow-tipping a sport, you really, REALLY ought to register to vote by October 6.

Meet Andy Lacasse of Barefoot Bay, who created this clever lawn decoration. Luckily for him, though, there will be no spelling required when he goes to his polling place this November 4 -- all he'll have to do is fill in a line with a marker, a skill in which he clearly has adequate proficiency. And even if he and his buddies stay up all night getting wasted and confusing major religions with types of fabric on November 3 and he sleeps until 3pm the next day, he'll still have four whole hours to get it together enough to put on a wife-beater, throw on some flip-flops (or maybe not -- it is Barefoot Bay, after all) and stumble in for his "I Voted" sticker.

Oh yeah, and anyone care to wager a guess in what state the town of Barefoot Bay is located? That's right, Florida. A.K.A. Floriduh. A.K.A. America's Wang. The fourth most populous state in America. I would love to say that Andy Lacasse is just one of 18,680,367. But speaking from experience, he's not.

PS: Sorry for getting all soap-boxy on ya; I promise to write about bacon, boobs and/or bacon-covered boobs very soon.

In all fairness, you only have so long before they wave the green flag and the cars resume racing. Something has to go by the wayside and it sure isn't going to be ignorance.

Man. Well you learn something new every day: "Muslin breathes well, and is a good choice of material for clothing meant for hot, dry climates.
"
Nothing wrong with that, or being a 'half-breed'. Dude must've meant it as a compliment.

Yeah, the guy is clearly a Cher fan, with the sly reference to her 1973 hit song.

said Jeem on September 27, 2008 4:20 PM.

There you go. Makes sense now.

said E on September 27, 2008 4:26 PM.

Jeem, you are talking about boobs. The McCain train and all of his passengers.

Is Obama muslin?

said Miss Cellania on September 27, 2008 5:39 PM.

This is getting nuts. If Barack Obama was muslin, i'd vote for him just for the sheer novelty value.

And Jeem... Bacon Covered Boobies???

Don't Toy with me man.....

"I got nothing good to say about Obama," Lacasse told News 13. "If I see anybody touching that sign, I got a club sitting right over there."

That line just about sums up the Republican Party...

said Senor Pablo on September 27, 2008 6:40 PM.

i promise to vote as soon as they get rid of the electoral college. i'm from sc, so voting for the democrat is a waste of waiting in line for two hours.

said jenni on September 27, 2008 7:57 PM.

Yeah, I was pretty excited about the concept, too, Senor Pablo...then I realized Miss C beat me to it:

Oh well, back to the bacon-scented, boob-shaped drawing board....

said Jeem on September 27, 2008 8:04 PM.

this is horrifying.

said johnnycrosslin on September 28, 2008 1:35 AM.

Jeem, you gotta pay attention to the details Obama is half made of finely woven cotton.

And people like this should be put into George Carlin's execution program.

said etantao on September 28, 2008 9:10 AM.

Good point, etantao; I actually should have titled this post 'I believe Obama is made of 50% finely-woven cotton...and I vote.'

Jenni: I know how you feel, but c'mon! If enough people think that way, then McCain will win without even a fight.

said Jeem on September 28, 2008 7:16 PM.

This is total bull. Everyone knows he's not a muslin, he's a satinist!

said limbodog on September 28, 2008 11:31 PM.

Jenni,
Do you have early, no excuse needed, voting in South Carolina?
We do in Georgia and it's already started. No lines, no waiting.
Although I agree about the electoral college.

said Dena on September 28, 2008 11:58 PM.

A muslin satinist who masticates.

No thank you!
