Thread: You might be a Knox Countian if...

  1. #1

    Default You might be a Knox Countian if...

    \It's my hope, and with no self-aggrandizing intent whatsoever,that this thread be kept alive until autumn of 2008. So anyway:

    You might be a Knox Countian if...

    ...Several term-limited, unlawfully seated members of your County Commission, in collusion with several more lawfully seated, but ethically challenged members, through backroom deals and blatantly illegal acts, acted to appoint cronies to their seats.

    ...And this is considered a positive step towards true representative government in your county.

    ...the only four-syllable word your commissioners know is nepotism.

    ...And the only reason they know it is because those know-nothing reporters keep asking them if they know what it means.

    ...a guy named Scoobie constantly refers to you as "losers."

    ...you've resigned yourself to being insulted for the next 18 months by a guy named Scoobie.

    ...you have a neighbor who's already sworn to name his next-born "Lumpy."

    ...your other neighbor already has a "Beware of Scoobie's Lumpies" sign in his yard.

    ...whether big orange screw, big scoobie screw, or big pension screw, you're screwed.

    And last...

    You might be a Knox Countian if...

    ...there's a 3 in 4 chance that you didn't vote in the last election for County Commissioners.

    But - by GOD! - you're ready to throw the rascals out now!

    ...a lumpy scoobie floats through your yard every time it rains.

    ...your thread about local political abuse quickly drifts off to page two in lieu of discussions about what might be the best song ever and what might be presently killing downtown.

    You think the Time Warp has a much better "green room" because it has two pool tables, a boatload of old skool pinball machines, a functioning Asteroids machine and nobody's dumb enough to "trash it".

    Oh, I meant "NorthKNOX" county. My bad.

    It probably should have been "You might be a Knox County Commissioner if..."

    as in

    "You might be a Knox County Commissioner if..."

    "...you're mostly white, mostly fat, and all arrogant."

    This is why the thread needs help. I can't find the funny in it. Just the mean.

    "You might be a Knox County Commissioner if..."

    ...if you vote with your bladder.



    Mock the Knox County Commission, dammit, Mock Them with Great Mockings!









    I will not let this thread die, dammit, even if I have to resort to obscure, arcane, unfunny stuff like this.













    Damn you. Damn you all to hell. *Sniff*
