WHO DOES NOT WANT TO RECOMMEND THE 11/11 VOTING NEWS THREAD? ? ?

[Bill Bored]

I don't know what this guy's agenda is, but he's transcribed part of a Seinfeld episode that might be applicable to this forum, so that's why http://barnesworld.blogs.com/barnes_world/2006/08/seinfeld_meets_.html">I'm linking to it (and to get someone to recommend the http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x516808">11/11 Voting News Thread, which only has 4 Recs after almost a day on the board!):

ORGANIZER: Uh...o.k., you're checked in. Here's your AIDS ribbon.

KRAMER: Uh, no thanks.

ORGANIZER: You don't want to wear an AIDS ribbon?

KRAMER: No.

ORGANIZER: But you have to wear an AIDS ribbon.

KRAMER: I have to?

ORGANIZER: Yes.

KRAMER: See, that's why I don't want to.

ORGANIZER: But everyone wears the ribbon. You must wear the ribbon!

KRAMER: You know what you are? You're a ribbon bully. <Walks away.>

ORGANIZER: Hey you! Come back here! Come back here and put this on!

New scene - Kramer in the AIDS walk. Some AIDS activists accost him for failing to wear the red ribbon.

WALKER #1: Hey, where's your ribbon?

KRAMER: Oh, I don't wear the ribbon.

WALKER #2: Oh, you don't wear the ribbon? Aren't you against AIDS?

KRAMER: Yeah, I'm against AIDS. I mean, I'm walking, aren't I? I just don't wear the ribbon.

WALKER #3: Who do you think you are?

WALKER #1: Put the ribbon on!

WALKER #2: Hey, Cedric! Bob! This guy won't wear a ribbon! <Cedric and Bob turn around and glare at Kramer.>


BOB: Who? Who does not want to wear the ribbon?:grr:
<Kramer is frightened.>

New scene - Kramer surrounded by Cedric, Bob, and the other walkers.

BOB: So! What's it going to be? Are you going to wear the ribbon?

KRAMER (nervously): No! Never.

BOB: But I am wearing the ribbon. He is wearing the ribbon. We are all wearing the ribbon! So why aren't you going to wear the ribbon!?

KRAMER: This is America! I don't have to wear anything I don't want to wear!

CEDRIC: What are we gonna do with him?

BOB: I guess we are just going to have to teach him to wear the ribbon!

<Kramer tries to climb up a fire escape, but the mob grabs him and pulls him back down. Kramer screams.>

Now then:

3. A thread started because no one rec'd a thread.

For that reason alone, I won't rec it. I will not unrec it becaus I do ont unrec threads. Not even this one.

[Bill Bored]

4. That's right and it's not the first time. People are busy and take others' hard work for granted. nt

5. And I would not rec theirs, either.

7. NO SOUP FOR YOU!

While this is a sometimes embittered forum, a long time a go, regular posters/lurkers in ER would try to maintain that the daily election news always made it to the Greatest page so people who didn't visit the forum on a regular basis would have the opportunity to read and keep up date date with a concise grouping of information. This is just a friendly rejoinder to that camaraderie

I respect you position... just quite don't understand your need to say it... but hey have at it.

6. I'm glad you did. Have to make checking this forum part of a routine

because I don't often enough.
