hoh yus!

Buck up there, 2legsy I see you've lost a crutch of support since your VP left.

Since you're down on your luck, the Hypatia camp would like to extend what we believe is a very generous offer. We would like to make you Vice, Vice, Vice President on the Ozark Ticket Of course, this would mean you would drop out of the race, but at least you'll be on the winning side.

Terrible shame your hos' comin' in last an' all.



Have another on me.

Poor 2legs... maybe we could take up a collection to buy him a running mate?

Just for the entertainment value, I shall bump this to the top of the list as a fine example of doubting which should be at the heart of any glory seeking cause

Hi there bunnyfrog

Y'know, if you haven't declared your intentions, the Ozark party coincidentally has a bunny-frog shaped seat that's open You could be our 50th supporter

Nur nur nummynur. Nu nu, nunununu

It's not all about numbers, you know

Trin,I'd love a cup of tea.

Maybe some of Hypatia's home cooked
Have you ever had real hillbilly cider? It's quite something.

Yeah, it has. Was bound to slow down though eventually The ego in me wants to say that it's slowed down because I've been busy with other things, but then I remind myself... no, there are other people in the election.

How're things in the RF camp?

Hope 2legs doesn't mind me using his kettle and everything ...

The RF camp? Good, good. Now we've got our jingle worked out we're ready to go.

Thanks. That is just what I needed.

Would you like a scoop of ice cream on your cake?

Thanks!

We're cautiously optimistic.
How's the jingle go?
