bigmerl.com official election primer

Tuesday, November 2, 2004. This will be a big election folks. The USA Presidential title is on the line, thats the biggest belt in the leauge! Also Nebraska votes on legalizing gambling. If this passes, expect bigmerl.com to become bigmerl.com casino and resort. Don't forget to vote

Tuesday is Election Day. Here are some pointers to keep in mind when heading to the polls:

• If at all possible, vote before work. That way, you can make smug comments to non-voters all day long.
• The new electronic voting machines are complicated. But don't worry: Octogenarians will be on hand to troubleshoot any technological problems that might arise.
• If your election official hooks you up to a machine via a needle in your arm, you are actually donating blood.
• Tip for those on the go: Voting a straight ticket can save you up to 15 seconds.
• Remember that, as a member of a participatory democracy, you have a duty to make your voice heard on Election Day. If you find that idea hard to grasp, think of it like the lotto: You can't win if you don't play.
• Don't wear dress shoes. They leave black scuff marks on gymnasium floors.
• Voting is no longer considered uncool. Note that it is not cool, either.
• Many newspapers offer sample ballots. Buy 10 copies and practice, practice, practice.
• Remember to vote, or P. Diddy will kill you.
• This is one of the most important elections in recent times, so it's best if you just leave it up to the pros.
• When voting, you don't need to dress up in a scary costume or hand out candy. That happens two days earlier.
• You might think it's funny, but it's disrespectful to submit write-in candidates like "Don Knotts," "Mickey Mouse," or "Michael Badnarik."
• Remember to take the day off to vote. And the day before, to psyche up. And the morning after, to dry out.
• If you are black and a resident of Florida, work out two or three alternate routes to your polling place to avoid police checkpoints.
• The most important thing is to vote your conscience.
• Okay, this is your conscience speaking: "Vote Nader. Vo-o-o-o-ote Nader."
• If you are a Flintstone, make sure to put the granite slab arrows-first into the dinosaur's mouth.
• If you live in Florida, for Christ's sake, look at the ballot very, very carefully this time.
• Education is the issue Americans say is most important. Find someone with one of those to read the ballot to you.
• Keep in mind that the name of every person who votes against George Bush is going to be read aloud on television the next time we're attacked by terrorists.
• If you don't know where the polling place is in your district, just try to remember the ugliest, dingiest, most depressing building in a three-mile radius. That's probably it.
  

What To BringRemember to bring proper identification to the polls.This can be:

• Driver's license or your chauffeur
• Passport and photos of your boyfriend in Paris
• SuperVoter discount card
• Note from president
• Proof that your grandfather voted
• Retinal scan or your alderman's retinas
• Two Iraqi scalps
• Receipt for your shoes
• Videotape of your first steps
• Halliburton employee ID
• Birthday card from grandmother
• Pint of sperm for DNA-identification purposes
• Casserole dish to pass
• A good friend who can totally vouch for you
• Signed $20 bill
• Autographed celebrity photo inscribed with your name

The Firefox experiment

Well, I tried Firefox, and was not ammused. You may notice how few updates the site has seen the last few days? Well that is because I couldn't find a plugin to work my site, so I had to either go to blogger.com or load IE in order to post. I also hated tabbed surfing with a passion. I already have tabs, and have had them since 1995. THEY ARE CALLED THE WINDOWS TASKBAR! I don't need a second taskbar that I have to click on a program to see.

Basically, I really hated the user interface for Firefox, and will very happily keep Microsoft Internet Explorer and DSO Exploit for all my surfing needs.

TOP MILLION!

bigmerl.com is now one of the top million sites on the Internet according to Alexa web services! To recap the plan:
Step 1: Become a popular site
Step 2: ???

Yahoo! vs Cox Communications, round one

Argh. So my bigmerl.com email was getting cumbersome being used on a web app, so I moved it to Outlook Express. Little beknown to me, Cox blocks you from opening a SMTP port on Yahoos servers... Dear Cox, please be known that I am not as super reliant on you as you hope and you should take my request seriously. I'm not asking for the moon, just to be able to use my Internet per the agreement with you.

A big hello to our visitors from customer service today! Or if someone remembers to remind Latera of the URL. In other news, I was downtown today and ran into Christine and Latera, haven't seen either of those girls in ages. Christine looks notably less pregnant, which means either she had the kid or Atkins is working really good for her. ;)
I don't really have much to add here, so I'm gonna publish and get back to work on my project.
