Poll question: Skeletons in your closet III?
Edited on Wed Oct-15-03 02:20 PM by BurtWorm
What would most likely derail your presidential campaign?

(This is my third attempt. If it doesn't work, let this sink like a stone. If it does work, confidentiality will be honored if you so will it. This is not a scientific poll. It is for recreational purposes only. Lying and exaggerating are permitted.)

1. I voted 'sex' - but let me explain
It doesn't mean I've been out going all Kobe on chicks or anything. Basically, I voted that way due to my interests in BDSM including writings and participation in such activity. My guess is that, if I were to run a campaign, someone would dredge that stuff up and say that because I'm kinky, I'm not fit for office or something.

I'm sure someone would try to turn the fact that I'm 'submissive' to my partner into my inability to Govern effectively or something. Isn't politics fun?

Well, I'm a Masochist, but not that much of a masochist. So yeah, no on tax cuts - or, tax diferral as it should be more accurately described.

23. They don't understand...
Edited on Wed Oct-15-03 04:36 PM by rbnyc
...that most submissives ar so because they have to be in control of so many things in their daily lives, while Doms tend to have jobs or other major parsts of their lives wher they feel out of cotrol.

I happen to be a switch. :evilgrin:

EDIT: There's something wrong with my keybaord

5. I voted Political Idiosyncrasies
Although not my only skelton, just so I can give an example: I marched with Troskyists against US imperialism in Central America. I don't think there were pictures, and I don't think anyone I marched with knew my name or address (although I did subscribe to Worker's Vanguard for about a year). It's just something that could come up out of nowhere and dry up my war chest.

16. Compared to the average candidate for office
or the average American? Trotskyism is an idiosycrasy. Isn't it? If it isn't, maybe I could start my 2008 campaign now! (Except for those other damn skeletons...)

17. Messing with your Mothers pills?
One time my best friend whom use to live with us wanted to get high. My Mom came out of the hospital from major surgery and her Doctors gave her some Tuinals and well hell here it goes.

Confession Everyone.

We took out the powder from several of the pills and replaced it with aspirin powder.
We then replaced the aspirins with tuinal powder and got high off of the pills. Mixed with cocktails tuinals can be very dangerous. They are truth serum and damn I had a mouth on me that could hurt people when I was younger.

Well anyways my Mom took her pills back to the pharmacy and told them that someone had tampered with her pills and she wanted to speak to the manager. The manager told her that it didn't happen at the pharmacy and that she needed to go home and find out if her daughter messed with her medicine. My Mom told them that her daughter would never do anything like that. When my Dad came home he was going to beat both of our asses for the shit that we pulled off and here we were denying that we tampered with her pills. My Dad's best friend was a Chicago Cop and he had his stop by and scare the shit out of us.

Let's just say I felt so bad that I went out and bought my Mom all new furniture.

are mitigating factors. I'd vote for you!

19. I felt so damn bad
It only took one time and we never did it again.
She took one of the pills that we had refilled and nothing happened and then she took another one and it was a dud again and my Mom was not a dummy. She held the pills up to the light and she went nuts.

20. Look, I've said it before and I'll say it again:
The stories of me, Osama Bin Laden, a cow and 20 gallons of light sweet crude are a fabrication. I did not have sex with that Bovine.

I admit I did belong to a secret society at Yale, but in no way did I participate in games of Strip Checkers or Smell My Fart.

I did not murder my political opponent in that last election in a bizare vibrator "accident", it was clearly a case of suicide by lethal injection. Besides I prefer double-ended dildoes.

Finally, although I consumed liquid LSD like it was water, I swear I never hallucinated, so it just doesn't count!

24. I'm an experience junky...
...and you'd all have a hard time coming up with something I haven't done, with few exceptions. (Not into sexualizing piss and shit, for example. And I've never touched heroin, crack or crank and I never would. And I'd never mess with dead people or animals, cause they can't consent. ;-) )

25. Let some particularly evil examples of living human shit have it
Just because I knew they wouldn't get it any other way, and sometimes a remorseless SOB needs to know just the slightest beginning of remorse.

Take that for what you will, esp. those who know my past.

31. I once pulled my dress off at Adam Ants party & I didn't have a bra on
Edited on Thu Oct-16-03 12:41 AM by corarose
My ex fiancé use to work for bands and he worked for Adam Ant. I was drinking grain alcohol with a friend of mine and I can't remember doing it but I pulled my dress off because the room was too hot.
It's also one of my most embarrassing moments of my life.
I also charged a fee at the door to get into the party and I called several other women sluts and I didn't have my dress on.

Jesus I can't stand it when my Sister reminds me about that party.

32. Oh my...
My best, juiciest skeleton counts as both "sex" and "politics," but I cannot reveal it here...suffice to say it involves collaborative porn and a friend of David Duke...
