ROFL, excellent!

I was automatically nominated as one of my state's libertarian party senate candidates. I've no idea how they found out I hung out here. Anyway, they mentioned specifically it was because I was an Executive Member and congratulated me for my libertarianess.

Not only that, Xan gave me the corner office. I lost out on the Executive Suite only because my post count, adjusted by post length in inches, was not high enough. I appealed, urging him to consider the quality of the content, but nope, the rules are the rules.

Mark, did your company car come through? I'm really enjoying the leather seats but on these hot days kind of wish I had gone with the metallic silver one, which comes with a sunroof and reflective rims.

Wow I have more posts than both of you and I only got a gift certificate to the Dollar Store. Xan must have something against me. I did get a cool set of red fingernail clippers, but then they broke.

I don’t understand how Maddy got a corner office and all I got was a double wide cubicle. I did all of the right things. I got vaccinated. I promoted vaccines. I belittled anti-vaxxers. I voted Democrat. I assisted several family members and neighbors, who had died in the last few years, with their absentee ballots to vote Democrat.

I voluntarily left my job to allow a paraplegic half-African American, half-Mexican American immigrant transgender woman to have greater economic opportunity.

And Maddy gets the corner office?

Life certainly seems more fair for some, like those with corner offices and gift certificates to Dollar Rentals.

Xan sent me a pair of Executive leotards. Now I am sitting comfortably in my corner. Call me a libtard. 🙃

I think Executive status should be conditional on proof of COVID vaccination from this date forward.

I heard we are going to have to go back to the office soon. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have really gotten to like the freedom of working the forum business from home.

As an executive member, you represent the community at large. It should become a retroactive requirement to maintain executive status.
Ugg really!? Can we just leave the "C word" out of the E suite? It ruins everything.

LLOL twice in less than a minute...you sir get the best comedian of 7/30/21 on the Gyro board award.

Of course the competition is rigged as no one who is not an executive member actually gets serious consideration for the award.

So nicely done within our elite group.

You heard wrong. I have over 4600 posts as of today.
Sounds like you had a busy morning. Are you competing with Vinny?

Apparently the rest of the Executive Members were unaware of the frequent poster awards program. Oops.

I’m pretty sure that’s why the two not to be named here threads have almost 250 pages of posts. 8)

Guys...

...I cannot believe it is already September of 2021. It seemed like yesterday it was 2004 and I was still in high school.

Welp!
