Viz, I think it goes without saying that this is a fun SOM league first and a friendly political league second. You gave a very good politically correct response.
My first post here was before I joined so I take the fifth on that one. Since then I have put it in baseball perspective. I can take anything that anyone wants to send at me as I REALLY do enjoy good humor and wit, even at my expense. Just call me Frank Jr :shock: .
Now to my post about my loading problem that has come about. We were going to drill this out fast but then decided not to. Even though I have the majority in all branches of my team there seems to be a problem in getting everyone on the same page as we put our team together. Some of my esteemed colleagues want something in return for thier vote on certain healthly players. It seems as though I am going to have to bailout a few of my own personel 1 trillion ways to Sunday to get this thing done, passed and loaded. My Great Grandchildren might have to pony up for this one to get going anytime soon. Since my son is 5, this could take awhile. I have been to all the Meat Markets in town and have bought up all the Pork I could find. I will be calling in the non-compliant (those that don't beleive in my hope of change) part of my staff to find out what they need for themselves (payoff) to get this thing passed and signed. I promised the Fans that if they elected me owner that all pork would stop here but promises are meant to get you ownership then broken. I am trying to be as transparent as I can be and I am posting this online for 10 days for all to read like I promised so I am batting .500 as of now on promises. I have been the GM of this team for 16 months and they only gave me 1 trillion dollars to spend on the payroll and that just is not enough time or money to turn this thing around that soon! Hell it took me months just to pick out a dog. DAMIT my teleprompter just broke down and I can't for the life of me even remember what the topic is about. Got to go, got 18 holes to play and after that I got an Apology Tour somewhere in the sand to bow to.

P.S. I don't care who you are that's funny right there :lol:

This constant waiting for Visick is becoming a problem. :evil: COME ON ALREADY. While we are still young.

If any of the other Dems want to slide in the East we'll just move Visick. In this league the division your in has no meaning except the 2 & 2.
So a Dem that's ready go ahead and make the move.
P.S. Viz used to never be undependable, but this is 3 or 4 leagues in a row that he has constantly held things up. :?

Glad you said it Jeep. Visick has been a SLACKER lately about entering in a timely fashion.

Chase, you're signed up as a Dem, but something tells me that you may not be who you say you are and your long post may not be about your team per se. Hmmmmmm
You are like the opposite of Arnold. Pretend to be a Republican, but is really a Democrat. Very sly. :wink:

I thought I had a clever name for my team, the Tacoma Tuskers, but...
...I thought "tuskers" meant someone who hunted elephants for their tusks!
I looked it up on that paragon of accuracy, wikipedia, and I'm not sure I am right on my definition, but, hey, I am sticking with my idea!
The Tacoma Tuskers are entered!
Cheers, and good luck!

Thought I would share some background history on this league. When I did this theme in '04 around the time of the Presidental Election, I got a note from one of TSN people that the Strat-O-Matic newsletter editors wanted to mention this theme league in their newsletter. So it landed there in their next newsletter.
Pretty cool! I'm not sure why I didn't continue this league annually, but I think it will be a fixture going forward. :)
