This one's close. Mike has a blimp, but I've personally seen JT fly. Who needs a blimp when you can fly?

But can he carry people for trips?
Plus a blimp would be warm.![]()
And you drink cocktails and wear monocles on it. Blimp for the win IMO.

I drank cocktails and wore a "monocle" on JT. It was weird. But tender.

Yeah but what did you hang onto, his back zits?![]()

Please. You've seen that mane. It was sort of "Never Ending Story" style.

As I stated in post #21, I neither support nor oppose the ascension of mike_v_s to lofty Mod status. However, in the interest of fair and open disclosure, the following points require clarification:
- Is this vote an "either/or"? Is a loss in this race cause for the incumbent to be ousted? No. The incumbant will remain in his position. This is more of a "I like dogma" or "I like blimps" kinda thing. Is a victory in this race by the challenger a guarantee of Mod classification? Of course. Would I put this much time and energy into a fake campaign?
- What exactly does the qualifier "for all the right reasons" in the challengers click button mean? Whatever you want it to mean. If the "right reasons" for you are selling advertisement space on the surface of the moon, then they are my right reasons, too.
- Does string count play any part in the ancillary vote tabulations? No.
- In the event the challenger prevails, is Mod status granted for all of the incumbents current forums? Or just OT? Just OT.
- Is a win a win? IOW, if the challenger garners 30 votes and the incumbent 29, is that sufficient to have m_v_s elevated to Mod status? I would think so, but your support of my campaign might help us eliminate that possibility.
- Has any cash money passed hands? If so, where is my chunk? No. And i haven't dropped $4300 on a high priced call girl either.
- If the challenger wins, does that mean a guaranteed "adjustable font" day will be instituted? If so, what is the exact day? Big Font Day is really bigger than me alone. I can't dictate when it will happen. It just calls and says "I'll be there tomorrow".
- Does the blimpability of the candidates unfairly influence voter mindset? I don't think so. Blimps are majestic vehicles and their power over non-blimp owners is nothing I can control.
My campaign is an open book, with all the pages ripped out and then put back out of order.Thank you for your candor, candidate mike_v_s ....
I believe I feel a sway in my prior stance of non-commitment ...![]()
What if you want to bring a friend along? And a bass?
Plus it would still be colder, with the wind and all.
Blimps!!!!![]()

Carrots was the only logical way for me to vote. Although I do feel that I might get a back ally beating from JT's cronies at a later date for not supporting his reelection bid.

Mine sprung a hole when I got between the falling satellite and that Navy ship that shot it down. Fortunately, I was able to patch it with D.B. Cooper's parachute.Blimps suck big time and are filled with hot gas.
