[Sir Edward V]

Sounds good to me..

I'll start the noms with the following:

GiantSlacker
SpankyPants
Markjazzbassist
KeithBMI
Dash Rantic
Nubs
Superbassman2000
Grygrx
Fatbob
steve21
jetpackbassist
Jady
thebigO
Enchanter Tim
Bassman314
MysticBoo
Bongomania
Jucas
Toasted
Higgie
Niftydog
Stubi19

Heck.. I'll even be nice and keep a list of the Nominations and numbers.

If I'm allowed to nominate I put a +1 on these:

SpankyPants
Markjazzbassist
KeithBMI
Grygrx
jetpackbassist
MysticBoo
Bongomania
Jucas
Toasted
Higgie
Niftydog
Stubi19

I'll add a TaySte and vtwo as well, is this based off of people who have already shown interest? Or are you just going through people you think are reliable?

 

[Stu L.]

Of course, Stu will have line item veto power over both the proposed route and the nominated participants. It will require a 2/3 majority of the Effects senate to overrule any of these individual vetos.

I don't know what that means, but it sounds powerful

And who is that Stubi19 fellow I keep reading about?

 

[steve21]

Whoa, whoa!

You can't just start nominating people. Sheesh.

First an exploratory committee needs to be formed to discuss the feasibility of such a nomination system.

Afterwards the results of these preliminary discussions will be posted in the lobby after which the nomination commission (which itself will need to be voted upon) will begin the nomination process with the normal debate following each name suggested.

Following that, the Talkbass department of transportation will plot out the exact route of the pedal.

Of course, Stu will have line item veto power over both the proposed route and the nominated participants. It will require a 2/3 majority of the Effects senate to overrule any of these individual vetos.

My staff is currently clearing my schedule to begin this process at the end of November. With any luck (and barring a filibuster), the pedal in question (heretofore to be referred to as "BOA") should begin its journey sometime in late 2008.

Some of you may complain that this is too long to wait, but I disagree. After our last aborted attempt, the need for more stringent guidelines was obvious. After all, if we've learned anything from bloated bureaucracies, it is that they rarely if ever make mistakes.

Let us proceed thusly.

Can't we just outsource all that work to India? Imagine paying US TB'ers to do all that work... nope... cheaper overseas.

Sort of a combination. I took the list from prior, and nominated the people I knew and trusted. It's not that I didn't trust the rest, I just didn't know them!

 

[JanusZarate]

I'm not liking this nomination system... I'm not letting it leave the TB floor!

[KeithBMI]

As long as I don't pass a mirror or any other highly polished metals on the way... I might be able to make it there.

 

[Sir Edward V]

Sir Edward V -30

ouch, we'll I'm at -30 it seams

on a side note Spanky seams to be MIA for a while now, since his move I guess

 

[Jared Lash]

Way off topic, but this reminded me of an incident years ago when my friend's cousin from Israel came to stay with him. I was driving them around in my parent's minivan one night and my friend's cousin excitedly says, "I saw a shiny blue thing!"

A few seconds later he yells, "there it is again, stop the car!". So I pull over and he runs into the street. We all watched in amazement as he tried to pry the blue reflector out of the middle of the street.

As for Spankypants, I'm giving him a +14 just to get him to a nice round -100 total.

 

[olaff421]

I have been watching this series of threads since the inseption. I was curious at first, now I'm outright frustrated that I have yet to see any pics of the BOA. I want pics!

I also wouldn't mind getting on the list to recieve this little box of magic, alas I'm not a supporting member. I have had dealings with mysticboo in the past (sansamp.)

 

[Stu L.]

I want pics!

People in hell want ice water

 

[olaff421]

Heh. It has been pretty hot here in TN lately.

 

[Stu L.]

Tx isn't much better. At least we've had rain this year.

And no, there are no pics at the moment. Be patient.

 

[olaff421]

We're in the middle of a pretty serious drought (not sure if that's the way to spell lack of rain, or tasty alchoholic beverage from a keg) here.

I am being patient. I just,in a moment of broke weakness, let the fact that i haven't been able to get any of the pedals or other gear that I want get the better of me.

You're in a drought.

You need a draught.
