The Candidates' Milkshake Poll.

[saltpoint]

During this crucial period of the primary campaign, which single flavor of milkshake do you personally feel is favored by a majority of YOUR candidate's supporters?

[Mojambo]

1. Great. Now I have to stop off and get a fucking milkshake on the way home.

Thanks man. Thanks a lot.

[saltpoint]

3. LOL!

[EFerrari]

2. Darn! I think the store is closed.

lol

[saltpoint]

6. Rush out and get some ingredients at the grocery -- quick!

Hey there, sfexpat2000.

:hi:

[frogmarch]

4. It had better be chocolate, or I'm done with them.

[saltpoint]

9. Hi, frogmarch. I voted for 'lemon lime' in my own poll. I guess it would be

more of a "sherbet freeze" than a milkshake, truth be told.

[mathewsleep]

5. old crusoe

i'm having that strong desire to leave this board again.

[saltpoint]

8. Then dammit, I'll buy you a milkshake. My treat.

You name the flavor, I'll pick up the tab.

_ _ _ _

Hi, mathewsleep.

I'm the last person to tell you what to do. You know what your next step is long before any of the rest of us.

But if you decide to linger on and post on these boards, I'm extremely likely to read what you have to say.

all good wishes.

[mathewsleep]

10. this handshake thing is just so dumb.

and it's consumed every post. even mine. it's in my head! get it out!

[saltpoint]

18. A dish of ice cream, first. Cool the soul with cold sweets. Next,

get comfortable and slap on the headsets, lie on the floor and listen to whatever CD rocks your world or leads you to enchanted gardens.

Come tomorrow, rent a film you love and respect very much, take it home, watch it. Write your best friend a letter and just say how much that film inhabits you, and how much you inhabit the film, and demand that your friend see the film too.

If you have a dog, take it for a walk and introduce the world to the dog as if it was the first walk either of you ever took down the street. Dogs can be great uplifters.

Matthew, I really don't have any other response to the handshake threads except my milkshake thread.

It's the only sane way out of the Joker's tunnel.

[mathewsleep]

26. i'm just being overly dramatic

i know how this place is. something floods the posts for a while, something dumb. then it's forgotten for something else. i'm wising up.

[saltpoint]

28. No, you're not wising up. You were wise to start with.

More power to you, mathewsleep.

And I still owe you that chocolate shake.

[mathewsleep]

31. just mail it to me

i'm sure you don't live any where close.

[saltpoint]

34. !!

[mathewsleep]

14. and i'd like chocolate, by the way.

[saltpoint]

19. chocolate it is, by god. With a Kilimanjaro of whipped cream, too.

[EFerrari]

7. I hope the rasberry delegates are seated. My chocolate ones

want to have a word with them.

[saltpoint]

11. That blender's the best thing that ever happened to ice cream. We'll blend

the rasberry and the chocolate together, and

no one can stop us!

[RoadRage]

12. Well anyone who didn't pick Chocolate is OBVIOUSLY racist.. :) NT

[asdjrocky]

13. I have to go with strawberry.

But milkshakes are like cookies, pizza, and er, other things, just about any flavor is good.

[saltpoint]

22. Strawberry, eh? Understandable. I've always assumed the gods and goddesses

gave us strawberries we'd have a faint sense of the nectar they're served up on Olympus.

[CorpGovActivist]

15. I Know Whose Milkshake Doesn't Bring Me to the Yard!

[asdjrocky]

17. Perfect, beat me to it.

[CorpGovActivist]

20. Snooze, Lose, My Pithy Fellow Night Owl...

... I've been groovin' on your stuff lately.

- Dave

[asdjrocky]

21. I like what you do too.

Keep fighting the power.

[CorpGovActivist]

24. Couldn't Answer Your Lounge Thread Last Night: Pick a Few Favorite Words?

Though I liked your quote from The Bard.

- Dave

[asdjrocky]

25. Here's a favorite from a few other Bards-

Enjoy.

[CorpGovActivist]

48. The Old Newsreels Spliced with the New...

... very interesting. A lot don't realize that lyricists are akin to The Bard. He'd be writing songs/raps for sure nowadays, among other things.

- Dave

[asdjrocky]

51. Yeah Shakespeare-

The OB. (Original Bard.)

[CorpGovActivist]

52. But What Would His Nomme de Rap Be? Imponderable!

[asdjrocky]

55. MC Shake?

No, too 80's.

[saltpoint]

57. But snappy just the same! LOL!

[CorpGovActivist]

58. Shake Willy?!?

:rofl:

[asdjrocky]

61. Yes, Shake Willy it is.

:rofl:

[CorpGovActivist]

63. The Backbeat...

... "he playin' wit' it? he playin' wit' it?"

Oh, I am grateful there were no hidden cameras in my dorm room, once upon a time. Or in any of our homes when we get together.

Give this some http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4260441&mesg_id=4260441">love. I know you'll rock it.

[tammywammy]

29. Damn, that's what I was thinking!

[CorpGovActivist]

47. Funny How...

... a simple word can trigger an earwig, huh?

I don't think the one candidate I meant can learn to churn the milkshake the people want.

; )

[Seabiscuit]

16. We accept all the flavors so its Neopolitan.

:hi: :dem:

GO EDWARDS!

[asdjrocky]

27. Hey Old Crusoe-

This is a VIP (Very Important Post) and I'm going to make it my quest to get this to the greatest page.

[saltpoint]

32. It will have to pass muster at the FDA first.

Hi, Rocky. Awfully good to see you tonight.

After that jabbering ninny spoke to the nation tonight, I began to wonder about my will to live.

Then, I threw on The Who's WHO'S NEXT and it all came back.

[asdjrocky]

37. 1971

"Baba O'Riley", "Bargain", "Behind Blue Eyes" Some of the best songs Townsend ever wrote. Quadrophenia has always been a favorite too, I've faught countless battles between the Rockers and the Mods in my head.

Out of my brain on the 5:15.

[saltpoint]

38. You know your UK masterworks, sounds like to me. There are lots of

great albums, but WHO'S NEXT shows up on a lot of people's lists.

But there are only a few nearly perfect compositions. I think "Behind Blue Eyes" is one of those rare few.

[asdjrocky]

39. I've been a DJ all my life Old Crusoe-

It's like being a sports reporter, you pick up a few things. (And if you're not sure of the year, or the spelling, you can just run to Wiki, and look really smart.)

[saltpoint]

41. We disagree on that one, Rocky. I believe you have to be awfully damned

smart going in or music -- especially a dj's role -- is going to be too much to wrangle with at once.

We agree on politics, and I'm happy for that, but we seem to agree on music even more.

Do you know Townsend's "The Sea Refuses no River" from his solo recording, ALL THE BEST COWBOYS HAVE CHINESE EYES ? That composition kicks me in the stomach without mercy every time I hear it.

[asdjrocky]

49. Oh God yes.

That's the album with Rough Boys, right?

[saltpoint]

50. Where does Townshend go to collect the images he comes up with?

He's always been this kind of fierce, no-nonsense kind of fatalist rocker, but with something like TOMMY and especially QUADROPHENIA, he makes ordinary things and people deified somehow.

"Rough Boys" I think was on EMPTY GLASS and then after that he released ALL THE BEST COWBOYS HAVE CHINESE EYES. I think it's hard to argue with that stretch of songwriting.

His rock'n'roll has always been connected to both the brains and the ... uh, dangly things.

[asdjrocky]

53. One of my favorite quotes from Townshend-

On being inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame, a reporter ask him about the new music today.

"It's not our job to like it, it's not even our job to buy it, it's our job to get the fuck out of the way."

And yeah, what was he smoking when he came up with a deaf dumb and blind kid that sure played a mean pinball.

[saltpoint]

56. Yes -- there it is -- that tough talk he's a master at, even as he creates

characters, scuffling and scorned, who walk away from the scene and take our loyalities with them.

How he does that is beyond me. But he does it all the time. And he does it as well or better than almost anybody.

Great quote, and thank you for the invocation of the "deaf dumb and blind kid." I've considered him a pal for some many moons now.

[asdjrocky]

59. Not to mention Ann Margret in baked beans....

[saltpoint]

60. And by all counts the apex of her career...

[asdjrocky]

62. Hey!

If apex means what I think it means, I had one of those while watching her in that movie. Seriously, shouldn't we save that kind of talk for the lounge?

We're talking milkshakes, Shakespeare and backed beans here. Can we just leave this apex stuff out of it?

[saltpoint]

64. Milkshakes, Shakespeare, and baked beans. And those dolts over at

freerepublic say we don't cover the issues!

[asdjrocky]

65. Look at us, proving them wrong once again.

[angie_love]

30. ...

my candidate brings all the boys to the yard...

[madrchsod]

33. "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,..."

[sandnsea]

35. butterscotch

because chocolate is so 60s.

[saltpoint]

36. A bold choice, sandnsea. Against the tidal wave of others' favorites,

you stick to your guns.

[Fire Walk With Me]

40. The MSM have excluded frozen yogurt ONCE AGAIN, and no one is saying a thing!

[saltpoint]

42. LOLOLOL!

Peake, that's perfect.

[Fire Walk With Me]

43. Considering DU this evening, your OP was most definitely needed!!

[saltpoint]

45. Peake, howdy and thanks -- I loved your post. The systematic

exclusion of frozen yogurt and the media-led masses failing to notice or question it.

Another distortion by the LIBERAL MEDIA!!

[asdjrocky]

54. That's funny.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

44. Oops, voted for my personal favorite, not the majority's

Sorry for cocking up your poll. You may need to repost.

But when I answered this same question on a Zogby poll, I did it right, so no worries.

[saltpoint]

46. LOL! And if we can't trust Zogby, who CAN we trust!?

[asdjrocky]

66. This is one of the greatest threads ever, and it must be kicked.

[saltpoint]

67. We're having some fun, aren't we? And who says we can't have milkshakes

this late?

Thanks, Rocky.

[asdjrocky]

69. Sure, I'll take another milkshake.

[saltpoint]

68. It's easy to get in a political rut. Let's just let fly and have milkshakes

for breakfast!

[asdjrocky]

70. Mmmmmm..... strawberry.
