I'd watch out for a big gob of Stay Puft dropping on you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go check I don't have Zool living in my refrigerator. :-P

I hate voting. I don't agree with absentee ballots since something could always happen that would make me change my mind so I vote in person. However, the poll workers are such idiots! They always look for your name under the wrong letter and when they finally get to the page your name is on they don't understand what "It's the last one on the page" means. They go through the list one at a time asking "Is this you?" until you finally point it out to them. If they actually checked IDs as they are supposed to they wouldn't have that problem. I could have voted as my neighbor and they would never know.

Radical. Next thing you'll be saying is that the dead shouldn't vote either.

Only in Chicago.

 

That does bring up an interesting point, however. What if someone sends in an absantee ballot and then dies before the official election day? Should the vote be counted?

It seems to me it's happened before; I seem to remember reading about some election where the deciding voter was dead.

I've never been the biggest fan of absentee or early voting. I think there's a greater potential for fraud and mishandling, particularly when a race is close. They started early voting in NC this past year and it was a nightmare. Election Day voting was light while many waited hours to vote early.

 

Legally, I think if someone casts a ballot absentee or early and then passes away their vote should be counted. The citizen has fulfilled the legal requirements for voting. It is not their fault that the votes are not counted until Election Day.

So if you're the Gatekeeper, who's the Key Master?

 

And Sam, the only time you should worry about crossing the streams is when you've been asked if you're a god

Has anyone else here ever played a board game called Atmosfear, involving a DVD where a really creepy guy called the "Gatekeeper" insults everyone playing and throws random events into the game while a timer counts down the length of play?

 

Yeah. It's epic.

I saw a Babylon 5 YouTube Video Featuring Susan Ivanova facing the most evil looking Earth Force Destroyers/Shadow ships...She gives the best speech I have ever heard an XO give. "I am death incarnate..." and so on. Just awesome stuff.

Ahh, yes, you must mean,

"Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova, Commander. Daughter of Andre and Sophie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am death incarnate, and the last living thing that you will ever see. God sent me."

 

I also like,

"Upon arrival you will report for debriefing. And just one more thing, on your trip back I want you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra. Ivanova is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations. Ivanova is God. *And*, if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out!"

Dr. Egon Spengler: Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?

Louis: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

Oh, my lord almighty...the instructions on how to open my Macbook and clean the fan are scaring me. :P

As I sit here listening/watching this OH SO INTERESTING webinar on how to use twitter for recruiting. I have come to the conclusion that twitter is -the- most unnecessary tool in the history of the internet.

 

Sam, I think the instructions on how to clean your macbook fan would have more practical use.

My inner XO is liking this woman! Any chance any B5's here know what episodes/seasons these Ivanova quotes are from?

 

::asks the person who has yet to check out B5 - yes yes, I know, pure blasphemy::

Nope, but I did notice some of them are on Hulu. I own all five seasons of B5, totally worth a purchase. First season is a little rough, but the next four a pure gold! :P

This is a variation of the B5 Mantra, stated by Ivanova in Season 1 Voice in the Wilderness Part I

Ah thank you for the full Ivanova Quotes. My opinion...she's the best XO ever of Sci-Fi (edging out Saul Tigh of BSG)

 

And now for something completely different....

 

I felt my first Earthquake in quite sometime last week here in SoCal. They give you (well me I mean) like an adrenaline rush when the shaking first starts...and then you kinda ride it out.

 

Hope we get no more of them...yet I decieve myself there.
