DBD 7.03.09 Day Without A DBD

Hey all, BearStage here. If you know me, then... you probably live in the East Bay. Horrible jokes aside, I've noticed that it's already 12:35 Pacific Time, and there's no DBD! I noted this is in the 4th of July thread. I was going to do nothing - I swear. Then Yes We Cannon sarcastically asks if I volunteered... and that got me thinking - which is never a good thing.
So this really should just be a day where we don't have a DBD - but I just can't let that happen, can I? I mean, didn't you see A Day Without A Mexican? Ok, me neither, but I really wanted to, the premise was really interesting. I worried that CGB as we know it might fall apart if we didn't have a place for people to spout off endlessly about absolutely nothing, with the occasional glimmer of something that slightly resembled cogent discussion. The board as we know it might grind to a screeching halt, forcing Twist to actually do something meaningful at work! The horror, man, the horror!!!
Of course, it also occurred to me that the reason we don't have a DBD today is that everybody and their mama is either out of town or not at work. Considering that this is the day closest to the actual July 4th holiday, this would be the day that offices give you off of work. We know Twist is probably halfway to Santa Barbara by now. Rishi has surely drowned in barrel of cheap rum. Rollonubears is wishing he was on the East Coast. And I... don't have rehearsal til 8:00pm tonight, so I'm wasting the day writing a DBD that by all rights shouldn't even exist. I predict no more than 10 replies - and that's on the high end.
Of course, there won't be any replies at all if I don't offer up a topic of discussion!
...
...
...
Okay, we're trying something different today. There is no topic of discussion today. There isn't even supposed to be a DBD today, and since this DBD shouldn't exist, how can there be a topic of discussion? Whoa. Yeah - I just blew your mind. Talk about anything you want - talk about the weather, talk about politics, talk about how much this DBD sucks dirty hosewater. Take your pick.
My prediction stands - more than 10 replies, and I will be shocked. Go nuts (and Bears)!

Brett Favre is reportedly close to purchasing a condominium in the Minneapolis area. It’s not a done deal, but Favre is believed to be "settling" on the condo in Edina.
The latest educated guess is that the Favre signing is being announced during the week of July 13-17, after the wedding of Brad Childress’ daughter and before single-game tickets go on sale July 20.

Oh, so Twist leaves for one weekend, and you lot think you can waltz right in? Well, I’m still here, and so is YF and HT. We at CGB are colonizers, not colonizees, and I say “No!” to acronyms. It’ll take more than a comically fake moustache to sneak past our defenses.

History will forget Sarah Palin. (Really, how many failed presidential candidates can you name off the top of your head? History will be all like “Sarah Palin? Wasn’t she the one with the… ummm…”)
Also, man, who cares about Europe? I mean, I don’t even think Europe cares about Europe. Which is fine, because they aren’t always all “yeaaaaaaaaaaah let’s invade some sovereign nations because we are the righteous nations of EUROPE,” and that’s probably for the best. But still, “because Europe thinks it would be a bad idea” is pretty low on my reasons not to do stuff.

actually, neither of them count as presidential candidates.
1) Sarah Palin was a Vice-Presidential candidate, not a Presidential Candidate.
2) The assumption is that we’re only talking about people who were the final candidate for their respective parties. So no Hillary either.

Well, he didn’t specify. All he said was “failed presidential candidates.”
I submit that Nixon should count, ’cause at the time that he failed to become President (1960), he had yet to become President (unlike the others I listed).
even if he doesn’t, Mondale, McCain, and Dewey still count.
Pwnage!! (regarding the original question)

In any case, it’s true that any given mind probably contains a few to a few dozen failed presidential candidates, but I stick by my original argument that they, like Sarah Palin will be in time, have been forgotten by history. Names live on, but what can you tell me about Dewey other than that he was the 2007 USC to Truman’s 2007 Stanfurd? I submit: not much.

Looks like you're not the only one who thinks so:
Following Palin’s announcement, the Democratic National Committee blasted what it called her “bizarre behavior.”
“Either Sarah Palin is leaving the people of Alaska high and dry to pursue her long shot national political ambitions or she simply can’t handle the job now that her popularity has dimmed and oil revenues are down,” DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse said.
“Either way, her decision to abandon her post and the people of Alaska who elected her continues a pattern of bizarre behavior that more than anything else may explain the decision she made today.”

I strongly encourage everyone to drop $20 bucks and buy an American flag to post outside your house/duplex/condo/aparment/cabin/double wide/single wide/tent/lean-to/newspapers/cardboard. Don’t forget to take it down at night, let it touch the ground, and don’t fly it in bad weather. Otherwise you’ll hear the door bell ring and a Korean War vet will be standing in his undies with a rifle pointed at your unibrow. Go USA and blow Kim Jong-Il’s sunglasses off.
