This is the thread in which you are to ask whatever questions you will of candidates once they have declared their candidacy. (Please understand most of these candidates are people you wouldn't want washing your car or mowing your lawn when formulating the questions).
The candidates are commanded to answer the questions as untruthfully and/or as self-servingly as is appropriate.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
So, candidates.
If I were looking for someone to wash my car, would you be a good choice?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
What color underwear do you wear?
I'll only vote for someone who wears green underpants. That's the color I wear!

I just love when the Election Tyrant gets all officious.
"Commanded"... just gives me goose pimples, I tell you.
So... even though I don't think there are any declared candidates yet... once they do start showing up, I'd like to ask what the juiciest rumor is that you've heard about each of your respective opponents.

That is a fantastic question, Ibby. I actually don't wear underwear, at all, preferring to go commando. Because the raw leadership exemplified by our commandos is just the sort of quality that a leader of the LMB needs!

I’ve heard Ex has legions of little children working in his sweat shops! While he forces them to work in his employ all day and night, he makes them listen to Nickleback!
quote:Originally posted by Rockhopper Lad: Whoever will be the next leader and deputy will be the immediate heirs of the glorious Rocky/Fanfie legacy. What do you offer that is worthy of that legacy?
There will be an immediate need for two stalwarts to act as judges for the mandatory striptease competition each LMBer will need to take part in, to better gauge who has the best seduction skills for the Espionage Squad. This function just so happens to come with an enormous salary and unlimited supply of previously undiscovered Peanuts comic strips kept secret for a thousand years!
quote:Originally posted by Cobalt Kid: Where's Hoffa buried?
On Masstomb IV, where Ex buried all the other people he’s had murdered over the centuries!

Stoopid Cat’s Tesseracts!

We are a pro-Alt ID ticket! We fully intend to promote and celebrate this critically important members of Legion World!
And that shirt makes you look smoldering. Several LMBers were yelling about not even needing to use their hands moments earlier.

I promise, as the next leader of the LMB, the storied example the both of you have set, celebrating both penguins and poop jokes, will not only continue, but be raised to a whole new level.
That's right, Legion World... it is the dawning of the age of:
Penguin Poop jokes.

Bah! I'll fill Legion World with Pooping Penguin Prostitutes if you need it! I always keep at least five dozen on stand-by anyway.

This is 100 % true. While Cobalt Kid stood idly by as Hoffa and his minions threatened the very bedrock that LW is founded on, I was taking action.
And... I tripled the LW export of bedrock.

all-
as the appointed spokesman for The Candidate Who Hast Not Yet Announced (TCWHNYA), I am duly authorized to answer some questions on their behalf.
quote:Originally posted by Eryk Davis Ester: So, candidates.
If I were looking for someone to wash my car, would you be a good choice?
TCWHNYA does not wash cars (for reasons that will one day soon become completely obvious)
quote:Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac: What color underwear do you wear?
I'll only vote for someone who wears green underpants. That's the color I wear!
TCWHNYA does not approve of the wearing of any undergarments, unless they are all one wears. In the latter case, green is an acceptable choice.
quote:Originally posted by Exnihil: I'd like to ask what the juiciest rumor is that you've heard about each of your respective opponents.
We hear unconfirmed reports that Anita and Cobalt Kid are one and the same person! Sorry, that's all we hear as of yet.
quote:Originally posted by Rockhopper Lad: Whoever will be the next leader and deputy will be the immediate heirs of the glorious Rocky/Fanfie legacy. What do you offer that is worthy of that legacy?
Clearly those shoes are too big to fill. TCWHNYA proposes a national week of mourning for the end of said administration, to be followed by a month of drunken debauchery.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
quote:Originally posted by Cobalt Kid: Where's Hoffa buried?
TCWHNYA points out that Candidate Cobalt Kid only puts that question out to deflect attention from his own role in the matter.
quote:Originally posted by Future: What's the shortest route I can take to Constantinople without running into tolls?
The Atlantic to the Mediterranean to the Aegean.
quote:Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac: What is your stand on Alt IDs?

TCWHNYA will neither confirm nor deny that TCWHNYA is someone's alt.
Nothing makes you look fat.

The Election Tyrant regularly stands on Alts.

Now that it looks like the PB&J ticket is going to enter the race, are you ready to drop out and concede the race?

I promise Legion World that if I ever drop out, it will be at the last minute and only after I've made a complete and utter mockery of the election, dragging it out far past the point of being funny.

Concede? Ha!
I don't know the meaning of the word, "concede"!

Done and done. Under a Nihil administration, we would only bill quarterly (offset by a newly introduced 2.47 daily interest rate).

Introduce you to the joys of veganism. The onion rings are still vegan, you say? True... but the breath, Kent... the breath. Let's play it safe and let them fall to the wayside, as well.
