Looks like Bush is going to win. Per our bets:
Nuke, I take it you want me to claim Bush as the best ever?
Eagler, which president would you like me to have in my sig?
I know I didn't have to have it in my sigline until 01-01-05, I'll put it in my sigline as soon as the official totals are in. I will keep it in until 01-01-09.
Creamo, as soon as it's official, I'll be out of the O'Club until 01-01-05.
If Bush has won (it looks like it so far), I'm going to honor my end, congrats, gents!
Still waiting for the provisional vote totals from Ohio to make it official.
-
Good man Sub.
Sorry to see you go.
-
Saburo, I don't want to hold you to the bet buddy.
Just give me some free photography advice, as needed, and we are even.

Ghey
I think the winners should give you guys amnesty. Or convert it to a monetary or booze payment instead of having you go away.

I think funked has the true Idea of a "gentlemen's bet"
-
Damn straight. Pay 'em in booze or whatever as Funked said.
Leaving this BBS reminds me of some stooopid bet years ago on AGW that was retarded on both sides.
It all seems so high strung leading up to election day. I happen to like that kind of stuff. Chaos. But afterwards? meh.
2 1/2 to the next one.
I got an idea. Stick around, but agree to say nothing of politics for 2.5 years.
Try instead to better mankind through deeds and words.
-
I for one do not care to have anyone really leave.
I am not going to gloat, and I'm not going to rub anyone's nose in it.
I'd just as soon see this fade behind us.
However, if the Democrats go off the deep end with regards to lawyers and challenges, I will not be so nice about that.
-
Better idea. Everyone else leaves, and I stay. I can yell at myself and argue with the walls or something.

I'll tell you how to grow mushrooms if you go away for a year :)
-
Nash was one saying Kerry would win.... Blahahahahahah!!!!!
Take it!!!!
-
lol Steve :lol
-
Actually Steve, you take it.
I'm not carrying anything you wanna put on me.
I do have some deeply personal feelings about the election. You aint getting close to it.
But... I did have this daydream today....
Kerry was to take it, and I was in charge of selecting the headline that would run across every paper in the world. I settled on:
"Americans dodge a bullet."
Things aren't panning out that way. So then I'm asking myself, what does that headline become? What's the inverse of it?
I like you guys... Pretty much same as me.
But if Bush gets in, you do have a problem.
See.... His first victory can be chalked up to y'all being duped.
If he wins again... you signed up.
-
Nash, sorry buddy...but you have no clue.
I like you and would get along with you pretty well, I'm sure, but you really have no clue regarding American politics.
-
Nuke - are you not one of those 'landslide' guys?
-
Yeah, I'm one of the landslide guys....have been for more than a year.
-
Didn't happen (duh). So don't call me out to lunch.
-
Bush didn't win in a landslide but repubicans gained in all three areas of government, so I'm quite happy right now.
The Liberal fu*ks are negated for a LONG time.

More than just a little bitter, little man. That's a shame. But to be expected.

Well it's not official yet as of now:
Bush 249
Kerry 242
GtoRA2,

Nuke,
Bud I entered this bet knowing full well I could lose. This is all in fun and will fulfill my end of the bet ;)
It is not surprising to me that you would be a true gentleman about it though :)
My email is in my profile, heck you have it already. More than happy to give any photography advise!
*****
Eagler,
Waiting for your president choice for my sigline, sir.
*****
Creamo,
As soon as it is official and Bush is declared the winner, I will not post in the O'Club until Jan 01, 2005 per our bet.
-
"More than just a little bitter, little man".
Yeah okay Steve McQueen. I'm all busted up.

Ain't life a b!t(h ! Deal with it. You're a poor loser. Were you a better sport, say like SaburoS, I'd give you all the credit for it. But you're not.

Saburo, to you...but I'm not holding you to the bet and would feel insulted if you disregarded my wishes on the matter.
No way in hell are you going to be gone from this BB. Creamo, give him a break....he knew not ;)

Sheesh, cut it out. If you feel insulted that I am going to uphold my end of the bet, you shouldn't have made a bet with me ;)
I'm a man of my word.
Creamo is gonna get his 60 days out of me as per our bet if it becomes official. I'm not upset about it, not bitter about it. It would dishonor me to welsh on my bet which I just won't do.
I entered my bets in the spirit of this BBS, all in fun. :)

I think that's all that matters. You said you would honor your end, he told you not to. Honor that too.
I may only post late at night when I've had one or twelve too many drinks, but this one I won't be afraid to look at tomorrow.
-
Nash, I like ya, but you're losing it. I hope you're around in 4 years. As things continue to improve over those years, I'll happily be feeding you crow.
Tell me, now that Bush has won, what awful things are going to happen?

Heh, geeze man. :)
To answer yer question, I have no fricken idea.
-
thank you for wanting to honor your bet sir but..
IMO, America won last night
that is good enough for me
amnesty all around from my bets
-
nash... you have "deep personal feelings" about the election and you are calling other people weird?
you were wrong in a big way and you are wrong in a big way about the effect of the outcome...
I for one am enjoying gloating over the canadians and meddlers and biased media..

You can take those Bush-Cheney bumper stickers off of your pink plastic lawn flamingos now, Eagler.

Hey now, there's nothing wrong with pink flamingos

I personally think this should have been a gentleman's duel. Pistols at dawn, 10 paces, no head shots.
A duel is always good times.

-
SabaruS, A big
for your stance. You are an honorable gentleman. I wish you would stay on the boards for the next 2 months but I fully understand your position.
Nash, Don't you think you're carrying this a bit too far? Chill dude! ;)
-
Hey, I wrote that last night. It's morning, it's beautiful outside, and I'm gettin' on with it. I'm not carrying anything too far. AFAIC this thing is done like dinner. Congrats.
-
SaburoS
This isn't about SaburoS keeping a bet that was in fun. It's about SaburoS excersing his personal pride by keeping his word.
That's not something you can "let him off the hook" for. It's his choice.

Eagler,
Thanks for your amnesty offer. It's funny, I'm sure the winners from either side would have offered the same as we'd just be so happy that our choice won.
*****
Nash,
This was a bet we all made in fun. Part of making a bet is taking the responsibility when we lose. This isn't like we're gonna die or anything. For what it's worth, I agree with about 95% of what you post. Chill out about our bets, dude! ;)
*****
Toad,
Continued good luck going your way, Sir!

All, See you in Jan. (Congrats Creamo)
PS. Checkout the first line in my Sigline :D (Congrats Nuke, Eagler)
-
Happy new, xmas and turkey day Sub,
Sorry to see you go, but I would hold my end of the bet as well in your position.
!
-
SaburoS, I have some info for you, give me a call when you have time.
-
All, See you in Jan.
You can't be serious. I was just goofing on you to jab at rpmhat who wouldn't take the Eaglers bet. There is no honor in honoring a stupid drunken bet.
-
Come on Nash, give it up! Whats with the deep personal fluffy feelings?
You dorkin a Kerry daughter? In line for a cabinet job?
I thought you were from NY, not MA???
-
Gawdamn I hate it when people comment on something I've said a day after I've said it, in a way that implies that I'm trapped in the exact same mental state 24 hours later as the instant I typed it.
I just say stuff. Mostly whatever comes to mind. Whatever you're now implying I should "give up" might have made for an interesting debate at the time, but today... I hardly even know what you're talking about.

You swing emotional states of that type day to day? No, you been way to wrapped up in this thing for months...really, what gives? I've asked you before and I'll ask again, what is/was you stake in this?
As goofed up as you are, I don't see you as a warm fluffy whale huggin, tree lovin lib. You seem a bit more complex than "party line" esp. when you live in another country and it aint yer party.
So whats up their Nash? You goona come clean this time or evade and diffuse?
Are you Kerry's illegitimate love chil' looking for the Dad that was never there's approval?
Looking to come home and get hitched, but now all thats out the window since we'll never legalize and you were busy while the window was open in SanFran?:D
Do tell Nash. It's all over with now, you can fess up.
