Ahhh so this is like when we had a class president race in elementary school and only the popular jock would win every time because he promised better chocolate bars in the vending machines? Sweet

Remember, me and Grandma will be fine with winning nothing, not like Matt Rock, who will burst into such an insane anger that it'll be uncontrollable.

If that's the case, TGC will realize that it was a mistake to vote the Rock/Dink ticket and will not vote him in the '12 Office.

That oughta show ya' Matt...

You will probably find Wehtham_ is the best out the candidates.

Despite your polices regarding Ham in the workplace were a little controversial, you will do well.

How can you stage a coup when I haven't even taken office yet? The election isn't over until December 2nd, so I won't be inaugerated until then. So if he keeps that title posted, that means TGC is in a state of civil war . But have no fear, I'm a brilliant military tactician with more Civ4 hours logged than anyone else here. And as Agent Dink will tell you, I'm one mean helicopter pilot. I never get taken out by enemies, though trees seem to pose the occasional problem for me.

So, long story short, if he keeps that title after my inaugeration, it'll be war! But I'm sure it won't have to come to that .

It won't work - the person who takes over the presidency from the president after impeachment is the vice president, and Mike very cleverly has made himself vice president too.

Maybe he changed the title to test out how to change a user's title, in preparation for my inaugeration on Tuesday . I don't think there's going to be any power struggle here, lol.

lol, Mike wasn't officially running so your four votes for him won't count . You should vote for me instead, seeing as how I'm going to win in a landslide .

And Jeku, I'm upset you didn't vote for me . I was naming you Secretary of Foreign Affairs because you've been to North Korea, lol.

I got a little worried when I saw 4 Mike Johnson posts in a row! But when I counted the votes for Matt, they came to 17, so I don't think we have anything to worry about.

He can get a thousand votes, it won't matter though because he never officially entered the race lol. In fact, I'm not even entirely sure if Mike even knows this thread exists, it may just be a coincidence that he made his title that . If he were properly running, and if he were gathering support from the getgo, then he'd give me a run for my money. But even then it'd be close I'd bet . Though it's only academic, since he isn't officially running. Even counting Alucard's vote for him, I'm still beating him 3 to 1 .

Resistance is futile. Rock/ Dink '08!

You do realize that now there is not even close to any pride in winning? Even if you win you can't call yourself president over TGC, seeing as Mike now has that title. So you get nothing.
Sorry for the lack of sarcasm, since I can't post world war 2 jokes anymore I'm sort of bored.

If you add up the votes of everyone with either two or three votes, it equals how many votes Rock/ Dink has. We won legitimately... Mike's title can say he's President, but he isn't even participating in this thread. Go be a sore loser elsewhere, we won fair and square lol. If it were 17 votes for Alucard you wouldn't be thinking about Mike's title , just as we aren't. As of December 3rd, there will be a tax in place for using lolcatz, and no one can stop that from happening now, unless in the next few hours we see some mad rush of votes for a legitimate candidate.

But Mike Johnson is the president...

He even has the official TGC presidential ham, which he unfortunately ate, ultimately locking him as the president for life.

Dear God, no! NOO!!!

Why must you insist on taxing the people of lolcatz? What good'll that do? Please explain. And did Pus die or something? Wasn't he unfortunately forced outta the race? If so, we may very well see the end of TGC very soon...and it's not even 2012 yet!!

Atleast he hasn't eaten the holy mutton. We all now if one eats the very meat of that mutton, it will grant the person eternal power over us smallfolk. But atleast it is safe.. But if someone shall uncover it, we all must pray until of course whom eats the mutton enters our prays.

Sadly for Mr. Johnson, I switched out the Presidential Ham with a honey smoked one. Why do you think I have 19 votes now? He who controls the ham controls the forums. That's why I fought so dilligently to defeat Omega, he's too new to this community to understand what the ham is or how powerful it can be. But have no fear, the ham is hidden somewhere safe, being researched by top men... top men...



Quote: "Why must you insist on taxing the people of lolcatz? What good'll that do? Please explain."

lolcatz are a scurge. Their level of funny has all but entirely dried up, and there's no contingency plan in place to replace lolcatz with something new. This is why my administration will begin taxing lolcatz beginning December 3rd. It's time to phase out lolcatz and replace them with something newer and funnier. We're also going to be taxing unfunny uses of Rick Rolls.



See how unfunny that is? Imagine how good it would be if we had skilled TGC artists creating funnier wthdawg images. Limitless job creation. And we can pay them with the taxes we collect from lolcatz users. See the idea now? Flawless.

I'm still at a loss as to who I'm declaring Flame Master General. Not an easy decision since Indi and Meg both left. It's boiling down to Jimmy or Ionstream I think. Am I missing someone good?

@ Yoda: I wish you understood what I was driving at before you voted, lol.

@ Jeku: Are you telling me Mike's been following this thread this whole time and never said anything about it? I'm glad he didn't throw his hat into the race to be honest, he'd have been difficult to beat.

Unless of course you're hinting that you have insider information that my title will be changed from "User" to "TGC Forum President." That would be both awesome and hilarious and the scales for both are off the charts . If not, don't tell me, let a guy dream lol.

Just remember, Mike can at any time change MAKE OBJECT CUBE to create a Sphere. Then where would you all be? No spinning cube demos...ever! And given the loss of productivity caused by this thread, it could have serious implications.
