Fyron for Governor!

[Ed Kolis]

NBC NEWS
SACRAMENTO, CA
Today, yet another hopeful has thrown his hat into the ring, as a local college student who is known only as "Imperator Fyron" announced his candidacy for state governor. We now bring you live to the scene, as Mr. Fyron makes his address:

Fyron: "...and thus I pledge to bring orderly rule to the great state of California!"
Crowd: CHEER!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Reporter: Mr. Fyron, may we have a few words with you, now that you have announced your candidacy for governor?
Fyron: Certainly, ask away.
Reporter: Well, first, may I ask why you have decided to enter the gubernatorial race?
Fyron: I think that California needs someone who can lead the state with a firm but fair hand - just ask anyone in any PBW games I've run.
Reporter: PBW games?
Fyron: http://seiv.pbw.cc, check it out, it's a lot of fun.
Reporter: Uh, right. Now there are a lot of "big-name" candidates in this race - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gary Coleman, and all the rest. Is going up against them an intimidating experience?
Fyron: Actually, I'm not too worried about them; the person I'm most worried about is Aaron Hall - he just declared his candidacy Last Tuesday, and already he's swayed three million voters by promising the entire state a free copy of Starfury once he's elected. And somehow I can't shake the feeling that I somehow owe this guy something, that I wouldn't be where I am today were it not for him...
Reporter: All right... speaking of where you are today, why WOULD you want to run for governor of California, given your current status?
Fyron: (chuckle) Oh yes, the "Ruler of the World" thing... trust me, it's not as great as it's cracked up to be; California's a much nicer place... and bigger, too! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Reporter: haha, yes, that may very well be so... one final question, some fringe Groups have this theory that you are really an extraterrestrial; would you care to comment on that?
Fyron: An extraterrestrial? Now why would anyone believe that? Why, do I LOOK like a twelve foot tall arthropodic creature from the planet Antares Prime, who just happens to be using Darlok cloaking technology to blend in with the -- oh, xnarf...

(At that moment, some witnesses claim to have seen Imperator Fyron blink out of existence, to be briefly replaced by a tall, brown, skeletal figure, which then disappeared in a puff of smoke.)

My apologies to both Fyron and Aaron, but my vote would go to Gallagher (http://gallaghersmash.com/index2.htm).

"First you get out an ordinary apple. Then place the ordinary apple between the Patented Pans. Then what do you do gang? It's simple - you reach for The Tool. It is not a slicer, it is not a dicer, it is not a chopper-and-a-hopper. What in the hell could it possibly be?..."

"It is - Sledge-o-Matic!"

SPLAT!!!!

EDIT - And I make 1st Lieutenant too - how apropo... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Atrocities]

Man that was tough, I wanted both Aaron and Fyron, what to do. Done. Sorry one of you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Please don't take it personal, but I want SEV and if Aaron was elected the game might get posponed. And that is simply something that I am not willing to live with. Then again without Fyron around I would simply go insane and that too is something that I have lived with and do not wish to do so again! So we will see who has won come Oct.

- Go Republicans! - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Yet another fine example of politcal hollywood + media feeding freenzy + cow poop + dark side liberalism + blind right side republicans + people who should just stay home and keep taking their medication, farce of ultra mega epic proportions and soon to be TV drama!

If you think about it, Arnold is really the best choice. I mean this guy said he was going to be a world class body builder and he was Mr. Universe something like seven times. Then he said he wanted to be one of the bigest action actors in the world, and he did that to even with his accent. If any thing can be said about the Terminator, he accomplishes what he sets out to do in stunning fashion. If I lived in Kaliformya (sp) I would vote for the guy. At least he does what he says he is going to do, and he has PROOF of it.

OBTW, if Fyron is elected, who will be the Luitenant Governor?

[General Woundwort]

Good news and bad news....

The Bad News - Fyron lost the election.

The Good News - political cartoonists in California now have ironclad job insurance. (Or should that be "i-uhn klahd"?) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

i think people should have served a term or two in a political office with less responcibilities before they try for one with as many responcibilities as governer.

[Erax]

I say Arnie had his eye on the governorship for a long time, but he chose the ideal moment to make his bid. As Julius Caesar used to say, 'Don't go into the fight until you are sure you will win.'

On another note, people remember him as the Terminator or the hero in Total Recall or Commando, but if you think about it, he made just as many comedies as action films, including one in which he makes fun of the whole action film genre.

So Fyron... congratulations on your new Governator !! Muahahahaha...

[oleg]

Swarz for Governor ?

Interesting but not really. Here is a scarry part :

Hannibal for PM http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif
____________________

Anthony Hopkins

Running for: First minister of the Welsh assembly and later for PM.

Political affiliations: Liberal, especially regarding cannibalism and serial killing.

Campaign slogan: I'll eat my opponents' livers with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

How to deal with press: I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner.

Experience of high office: Considerable. Played Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin in Victory at Entebbe, Adolf Hitler in TV movie The Bunker, David Lloyd George in Young Winston, Richard Nixon in Nixon. Also played sexually repressed butler in the Remains of the Day - on plus side, would know which knives to use at during posh banquets

Policy platform: Cut prison population by 70,000. Much more care in the community than has been attempted hitherto.

Potential pitfalls: Took US citizenship in 2000. Associated with really rather unpleasant murders and dismemberments, though pro-sheep slaughter views may play well with anti-veggie hill farmers.

Chances of success: Good.

I like Schwarzenegger. I have seen most of his movies. My favorite two are Commando and Terminator 2. I like my action heros to be incredibly strong and invincible. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Too bad he won't be making many movies anymore, now that he's governor. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
