1. have you ever voted 3rd party?

[elshiva]

4. No. Only Democrat, but remember I am only 23.

2. Ok, elshiva, here's a question for you:

If you were at the mall and saw Bigfoot grab Kay Baily Hutchison and stuff her into the backseat of a 1962 Ford Falcon and drive off, would you call the cops and report it or let it stand, thinking, "Hey, that's one less Republican hack senator to worry about" ?

[elshiva]

6. LOL! But seriously, I would call the cops because I try to be decent

towards others, repub or dem...

[saltpoint]

15. Fair enough.

Good wishes your way, elshiva.

3. What is the meaning of life?

[elshiva]

7. Life is just a bowl of all bran, what you said, it has made it

very clear. But, as sure, I'll live as best as I can. It's all a buzz, enjoy it!

5. Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

[elshiva]

8. No, but I am an Episcopalian does that count?

[Midnight Rambler]

12. Eh, close enough

9. What's the story behind your sig line pics?

BTW, I love Doonesbury. Grew up reading it. I'm almost twice as old as you.

[elshiva]

11. The story behind the sigs is I love Doonesbury!

G.B. Trudeau is a genius. Ever see Tanner '88. Like watching a Doonesbury strip come to life, stunning!
Also, I think Kerry looked so sexy as a cartoon back then, don't you? Picked that pic off of a pro-Kerry thread somewhere. I love Kerry very much.Put him up there with Kucinich and my Dean avatar because I admire these Democrats for their leadership now. In many ways they hold up the best of the party, but they are NOT the ideal as in Barbara Jordan and Shirley Chisholm. Barbara Jordan SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT AND SO FOR CHISHOLM! "Democracy the word is used so often...but this is not a democracy.." Shirley Chisholm

Kucinich photo is from his congress website. Apparently it was a comedy sketch.

14. Didja know the strip actually is making fun of Kerry?

I know, because I've seen the whole thing.

[elshiva]

17. I have too, hon, but I've read the whole series here you go:

Yeah, I think it was poking fun at Kerry's ego, but it was also getting his message out more. This was a part of the series.





It ended thusly....



meditate on that!

[hippiepunk]

20. Yeah, I've seen all of em too.

I got alot of Doonesbury books, and they're all in one. Who coulda guessed repukes woulda actually turned B.D.'s statement into a campaign issue?

[elshiva]

22. Bibliographic Information

These Kerry cartoons were printed in a Doonesbury book:

Trudeau, G.B. "The President Is a Lot Smarter Than You Think" New York: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1973.

Do have that one? Very, very good.

[hippiepunk]

24. Yes, I do

My dad used to get them in the mail from a friend who worked at the publisher, so that's how I got'im.

[elshiva]

27. NICE! I get them at GoodWill and used book stores.

[hippiepunk]

29. I've got from the beginning up to somewhere in the 80's.

[elshiva]

30. Me,too. But I got a few from the early nineties. The current strips are

still dead on. I LOVE Alex Doonesbury!

[CottonBear]

31. I have all of the Doonesbury paperbacks and large format books

that were published throught the late 70s and early 80's. I've read them over and over. My hometown paper refused to run Doonesbury on Sundays. Might corrupt the kids, you know. They ran the full color Sunday strip on Saturdays! Amazing. The same town tried to ban SNL from TV.

[CottonBear]

26. Isn't Trudeau a genius? That is some of my favorite Doonesbury.

He must have known that John was destined to be a major player on the American politcal stage.

"You're really clicking tonight you gorgeous preppie." LOL! Brilliant!

[elshiva]

28. Yes, it is chillingly prophetic, isn't it? Especially the controversy

over his medals! Wow!

[CottonBear]

19. You know, I've not seen Tanner '88.

I was without a TV from late 1987 to sometime in 1991. I went through a big divorce, lost all of my pets, was homeless (for 3 days), found a new abode, quit my job, and traveled across the US and Europe before returning to the US, living with my mum for a bit, moving back to my town and finding gainful employment! I didn't watch TV and only saw a few films during that time.

I love Jordan and Chisholm! They were great women, great Democrats and great Patriots!

Cheers! :)

[elshiva]

23. Sorry about that, dearheart. :(

But Tanner '88 is on DVD, I rented it from the library, so check one of those big branch libraries for it.

[CottonBear]

32. I will do that! I've got a DVD player and a great public library!

:)

[elshiva]

33. Good!

:toast:

[elshiva]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Oh, I'm sorry! Didn't mean to make you sad! Let's see, a happier

question: What food do you like best?



:pals:

[elshiva]

25. You never make me sad, hon! :)

Big eater here. Current love is veggie burgers esp. Boca with Crystal's Hot Sauce on it! Ever try any of that?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. I must say I've never tried any veggie burgers...I'm a carnivore!

I do like vegetables, however! I make my own burgers when I want that sort of food; not much for eating fast food...Your fav sounds good though...Where do you get them?

:pals:

[elshiva]

35. Just the supermarkets. No special health food stores.

Crystal Hot Sauce is the kind of sauce they had at a mental hospital I once stayed at...
