Like a kid in a candy store!

Well tonight we were working on packing up the crib for long term storage, (I know, kind of sad, also kind of scary to think that the next time it comes out of storage it will be for a grand child. Note to the monkeys, that better be a LONG time from now).

Anyway as we were working away the phone rings. I hear the caller ID announce in it's computer voice DemonRat Party.

I go running across the house yelling, Oh Oh Oh! I get to answer this one! You know, I would think that they would do a little demographic research. They might see things like NRA member, TSRA, (Texas State Rifle Association), semi active donor to the Republican Party.

On the other end of the line is some poor, (a. dumb college student without a brain, (hey does that mean he's on his way to IraK?) b. homeless, (hey come work for us, we will pay you in beer and cigaretts) or c. Outsourced offshore call center).

He proceeded to read his little script in something approaching broken kind of like english. I took the opportunity to put on my best, "Good ol' boy Southern drawl" and tell him all about being a member, (as in FORMER) of good ol' Communications Workers of America and how I was a WORKING MAN and by damned voted for the WORKING MAN.

He proceeded to tell me all about early voting and how important it was to vote, (I heartily agreed to that). He then asked if I knew were the voting locations were, (I had to act kind of confused at that and let him stumble his way through the computer to point me to both early voting and the polls on November 7. I had to ask him though that since, "this here early votin stuff's still going on, can I go vote early and then go vote on November 7?" He kind of dodged that question.

I strung him on for another 10 minutes or so all the while biting my finger to keep from busting out laughing.

He asked if I had any more questions, I told him, "just one more. Are y'all runnin that Zell Miller feller? I really like him!" Dead silence as what little of his brain that was functional, imploded. I could almost hear the gears grind to a halt.

Eventually he picked the script up and started telling about the two demoRats that were on his script.

I couldn't contain myself any longer as he was waxing on about the local demoRat candidate for governor. I had to break the news to him. I'm voting for Republican Rick Perry!
