It's now being said that was a hankerchief.
Look at how stiff it is. If it's a hankerchief:
1. He's been using it as a fuckrag since 1969, and
2. It's still against the rules.
OH MY GOD
I noticed that he kept looking down, a lot. It's right here at the top of page 1 of my notes. I couldn't figure it out, it seemed really odd.
:lol:
Have you not been asked to moderate?

It's like they don't want ratings!
This is not news. Cheating your way to the top is part of the Republican brand.
We watched the debate on the YouTube live feed (I have no TV. Realizing that I haven't had cable in nearly two years, now, and haven't missed it a bit was a bit of a shock). After the "fuck, now I have to hug your family" thing at the end, Romney went back to the podium, folded something, and stuck it in his pocket. I am trying to find video of that, most of the news channel recordings had already cut away by that point.
Either he went back for his cheat notes, he'd spent the debate doodling pron that he didn't want anybody else to see, or his priorities are so FUBAR that he walked away from the little social "make nice with the other guy's family" thing to go pick up a hankie.
I saw him go back to the podium and pick up his notes, but didn't think anything of it because I hadn't heard that they weren't supposed to have notes.

They could write notes, but they couldn't BRING notes.... at least according to the 2008 rules. I haven't seen the 2012 rules.
Not that he will forfeit over it. Does show his quality, bringing a fuckrag to the debate.
There's nothing to forfeit because it's not a judged debate. It's a win or a loss based on public opinion and I doubt it's affected most people's opinion.
He can step out of the race. Leave a panicked party to try to shovel a new candidate into his spot, making a farce of the election process. His party, forever infamous for being the ones with the guy who quit, will have him vanished and hung by the toes in deep jungle for the rest of his life. And in his last moments watching tiny children beat him like a pinata he will dwell on how his integrity was worth it, and finally find self respect and comfort.
I hate to be "that guy" (no I don't), but assume for a moment that everything is completely true and Mitt did cheat his ass off in the debate (he did lie his ass of, but let's bracket that and just approach the issue at hand), so what?
It's not like if you had him dead to rights that this would change a thing, beyond making those who want Obama to win feel slightly better about a shitty performance. Hell, this could easily be spun as an example of someone who wants it more - Mitt wants it so much, he'll cheat. Do you think that any world leader is going to be hamstrung by a couple of rules?
And that's leaving aside the apparent blind obedience to "rules" from a bunch of discordians that I don't even know where to begin addressing......

you didn't "decide" anything. You took one look at my monstrous cranium and realized it would just break all of your toes if you tried to kick it around.

It's more that the special chemical-resistant boots would cost too much. And regular clown shoes won't protect us from that shit you use for hair gel.
I don't use hair gel. That's just how my hair grows.

We've been on to you for some time, ECH. We know you're bald as an egg, and have an alien life form riding on your dome that makes you say horrible things.
Help is on the way.

That was the plan. We're gonna throw Enki at your hair, and while it's occupied with HIS hair, we're gonna accidentally General Westmoreland/Curtiss LeMay the entire region. Even if we don't get YOU - which is 20% at BEST, we'll at least have blown Enki into next week, and that gives us seven days of non-creepy and/or inexplicable fun in the pics thread. Hell, IRC might even revive, though I doubt that.

Zombieville. 26 users, nobody's posted in months.
You have to wear sunglasses, a gas mask, and lead BVDs to protect your goodies, because that's the kind of energy ECH is emitting all the time. It's a powerful thing. Why do you think you always see his hair standing on end? Its a whole OTHER kind of infernal combustion, I'm telling ya! One fool got MAD at ECH because he wouldn't reveal his PHONE number! What an idiot, all you ever get is that weird answering machine thing that honks at you, and no callbacks anyway! The one time I think I was actually talking with ECH himself, all the cash disappeared from my wallet, my bank card had been wiped and my butt was sore for a week. Nigel claims that was the Portland Jesus, but I don't think so. Portland Jesus smells like old Three's Company episodes, ozone, patchouli, bicycle seat leather, and PBR; ECH smells like ECH. Portland Jesus prefers girls; ECH will screw the GROUND in a pinch. No comparison. How could there be? We're only whatever we are; how could we hope to match up with a guy who can get the very EARTH pregnant?
Wake up, America! Stop out ECHism TODAY...Before there's titans and shit running all over the place with their knees bent.
I've since realized I got off light. Some poor souls either wind up scuttling around like lobsters for the rest of their lives, and I mean those who weren't ALREADY scuttling around like lobsters, or worse yet, end up in a canister in a Church basement somewhere in Maine. ECH says only souls are in them, but I think that in a few extreme cases, its the entire corporeal person. I have a really suspicious ashtray that ECH SAID was cast from resin, but I think it might be Hugh's skull. Triple Zero came close to being encanted that way early on, but then he handed over $1000 cash, passed his piss test and thus saved himself. So can you; just fork over the dough. Besides, if ECH actually talks to you in person before you've been properly "seasoned" by the ritual beatings, your head will do a "Lost Ark" meltdown, which would lessen your earning potential considerably. ECH therefore doesn't do face-to-face often because he doesn't want to damage his capital base. So shut the hell up and enjoy your soma. Starving children in Virginia would be GLAD to have that shit.
You just shouldn't trifle with a man who created a very efficient little Crisco pump that, on demand, will allow the soles of his shoes to exude a steady layer of it just perfect for skateboarding hijinks without ruining the trim lines of his torquoise Italian loafers. No, its hard to figure a guy who'd leave a trail of goo behind him ON PURPOSE, sell the design on late-night TV and STILL not wind up in court for all the broken limbs and hips people got from slipping in the slime trails. And yet he sent an aloe vera cactus to every single such broke-boned victim of his most recent success. Hey, that's just the kind of thoughtful guy ECH is.
While it can help you to be on ECH's good side, there's no guarantee. He has so many sides, it makes the Wheel of Fortune look like a Mexican finger puzzle. Sometimes the most vile and pernicious Discordians receive the best of ECH's transmitted pheremones, while hard-working and dedicated Discordians who TRY to promote his good works end up with a pineapple enema. Just as he gets laid every time he fucks up, so too do his followers fall prey to the greatest/worst luck for no apparent reason. ECH is like a pelican who should have no reason to fly, aerodynamically speaking, yet he flaps around getting all the best fish and crapping wherever he pleases. When somebody manages to get his attention long enough to point out that he can't really fly, being of that laughable shape, he just looks down, laughs and says, "Then how the fuck am I doing THIS?" and lets loose a stream of shit that peels paint from cars within a 50-foot radius of your insolence. That's one hell of a comeback for yer ass, ain't it? ECH is nothing if not the master of rebuttal.
And the ultimate beauty of it is, that ECH guano sells for more on the open market than PLATINUM. You just squirt a little on the garden and WHOA-HO-HO, its TRIFFID time! I got an ear of corn 3 feet LONG that way! Drop a seed on ECH-enriched soil and jump back, because that sucker is going to sprout so fast, you could get a knockout punch to the jaw when that first bud shoots up from the ground. Its kind of like a reverse game of 'Grunties,' the semi-popular, clench-coins-with-your-ass British pub game. So there's shit and then there's SHIT and with ECH the buffet will ALWAYS include BOTH kinds. The trick is to pay ECH enough to buy one of those nice anti-ECH Shit slickers that will repel the bad ones while allowing the good ones to fill up the generous pockets. I don't know why it comes with a strap-on dildo, but who am I to question the world's most enigmatic and BEST DANCING "man"? GROW BETTER WEED...USE ONLY GENUINE, CERTIFIED ECH POOP.

There's only one rule in American society that can't be avoided and that money talks. And that's just systemic. If we could find a way around that one without crashing the system, we'd do it. In a heartbeat.
