Dbag wasn't a dbag, he was a good American.
"Hey Natives, are you using this land for farming?"
"Uh, no. This is our hunting ground. We use it during hunting season."
"Oh cool. Well, we're gonna take it and use it for farming then. Thanks!"
"Wait, what?"

THIRD PIONEER: Sure is!

WAGON BOSS: ...is, in reality, a Golden Opportunity for humble, God-fearin' people like ourselves, an' our families, an' our children, an' the generations a-comin', to carve a new life - out of the American Indian!

Unless you have a valid drivers license and were pre-regestered to vote your vote does not count! You can however cast a provisional ballot that might be counted if we need more votes to win the discussion. ;)

Sorry, just a little tasteless election year humor for the thread.

So, for the record this thread now touches on the topics of...
Douschebagery (both initial and reactive)
Goth (and all its variations)
Black Friday (and similar sales events)
Salmon (and related species and various prep and serving methods and the wisdom thereof)
Tacos (mostly fish)
Plants (various types)
Birds (well just cormorants)
Engineering degrees (mechanical and electrical)
Driving directions (how many rights does it take to turn left)
Football (and associated beer fest rituitals)
Voting (voters rights on polls or at polling locations)
Manifest Destiny (including wagon trains and indigenous people)
Liberal Arts Degrees (all inclusive)
Turkey Vultures (circling over the lib arts buildings)
... And I think, but I'm not exactly sure, a bass may have been briefly mentioned somewhere in the thread.

I don't care about any of those things. Just wanted to reassure the OP. Seems like a lot of people are insulting him.

You forgot Wagon-Trains, Indigenous Peoples, and Land-Grabbin' (which they did perhaps because of the contemporary absence of cheapo Goth instruments)...

I would like to add:

Liberal Arts degrees (by implication)
Turkey Vultures (so the cormorants won't feel lonely)

For the last three autumns my University library has been beset by hordes of turkey vultures, ever since we took down the white marble outer facade and replaced it with pink.

Wait a minute . . .

How is it that we're well over 500 posts (probably at least 50 of them today) and yet this thread isn't listed in the most active threads category?

Is TB rigged to ignore dbaggery threads?
