Vote, Freed Citizens.
-
It all looks so good, how do I decide?
-
Should be a multiple-choice poll.
-
Remember when Ron Paul suggested we issue letters of marque and reprisal to combat piracy? That may have been my favorite political moment ever.
-
Go to work and then go to sleep.

Definitely texting cock pics to my boss. He's so :noah

If we seize their vessels full of pirate booty, we'll have the gold necessary to back our worthless fiat money.

autumn is such a downer season for me. i'd appreciate it if you guys could keep this going till the debt ceiling on the 17th and roll it all into a giant singularity of enthrallingly bad news which keeps me F5'ing till christmas.
thanks,
bored netizen

I just raped two American citizens.

Former American citizens, you mean.

Currently reevaluating my life after being the first and only person to select "Dressing up like Tina Turner in Thunderdome." I thought I would be joining at least a coalition of 2-3 other voters.

Looks like Obama is still working.

Come forth, my privateer brethren!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me~

Out of the ruins, out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children, the last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome
Looking for something we can rely on
There's got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say, "We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome"
So what do we do with our lives?
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark? Is it all or nothing?
We don't need another hero, hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome
All the children say, "We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome"

I was going to vote for it, but I picked the Mupepe option. I need someone to repair my roof and make me lengua tacos.
:yeshrug
I'll put my tongue in your taco for sure.

I suggest a new addition to the poll:
-Underage drinking [Andrex option]

Before you light the flag wrapped eagle on fire, make sure you run it over with an electric car. Preferably one made in another country.

I know I should never be surprised when it comes to tech support, but someone actually called in about something on the IRS website not loading properly. :dizzy

The ultimate comfort snack...we could all do with a little comforting in these desperate times

I'm starting development on my new game, "Half-Life 3"
If Valve wants to stop me they'll have to take the trademark back in vehicular combat

Added to the poll.

Also since the gov buildings are closed, it's time to go skate on them now!

The fabric of society is already crumbling, I was just mugged about an hour ago. Thanks Obama.
-
Sorry Andrex didn't know that was you.
-
Give back my Nexus 7 you Apple zealot! :maf

Currently working a 14 hour day (and counting)

Sorry one of the Americans that escaped my raperoom took it with her.

So, to recap:
Steve Contra has become a pirate because new wine permits aren't being issued anymore
Andrex got mugged
Diunx is now a fake American citizen
I ate Taco Bell
and BrandNew had to work all day
THANKS OBAMA
Did I miss anything?
-
So basically nothing's changed?
-
I have decided to become gay.
-
Where is the option to see who voted for what so I know which jerks to avoid?
-
I chose "Murder Most Foul" because I'm gonna watch the 1964 movie :)
-
I went to buy a gun for the first time but they said I have to update my address at the DMV tomorrow before they can do the background check. :(
But I did go to KFC at least!
-
Your loaded potatos have Bacon!!!! :o I feel betrayed!
hold on, what's in your potato grillers....
-
I was going to say sadness, but that works better
-
ANDREX WAS THE MUGGER BLACK I NEED TO KNOW
-
Hey, I got Taco Bell too. Wild, weird, stuff.
-
I was hoping for the EUR/USD rates to go my way, but the financial markets are taking this about as serious as you guys.
-
ANDREX WAS THE MUGGER BLACK I NEED TO KNOW
Why?

I'm making tacos, motherfucker!

The National Institute of Standards and Technology website has been taken down :'( :'(
It was my main source for source for fluid thermodynamic properties I need for work.
Don't understand why it's down so soon. Website hosting doesn't seem like a cost outlay that would be interrupted in less than a day of gov't shutdown.

My wife uses a lot of data from the Census Department at work. Pretty frustrating.

I can't get very important customs paperwork for stuff on the water already. What's crazy is only the part of the website that people use is taken offline, all the portals to get their, the faqs etc. are still online :(
-

I haven't added that option in yet. I know who voted what, though. You naughty girl...

In the "you're never the first to say something" files*: http://www.cato.org/blog/online-washington-monument-syndrome
With a few more examples of the weirdness about what sites are up and functioning and which have been taken down.
That doesn’t seem to account for some of the weird patterns we see, however. The main page at NASA.gov redirects to a page saying the site is unavailable, but lots of subdomains that, however cool, seem “inessential” remain up and running: the “Solar System Exploration” page at solarsystem.nasa.gov; the Climate Kids website at climatekids.nasa.gov; and the large photo archive at images.jsc.nasa.gov, to name a few. There are any number of good reasons some of those subdomains might be hosted separately, and therefore unaffected by the shutdown—but it seems odd they can keep all of these running without additional expenditures, yet aren’t able to redirect to a co-located mirror of the landing page.
Still weirder is the status of the Federal Trade Commission’s site. Browse to any of their pages and you’ll see, for a split second, the full content of the page you want—only to be redirected to a shutdown notice page also hosted at FTC.gov. But that means… their servers are still up and running and actually serving all the same content. In fact they’re serving more content: first the real page, then the shutdown notice page. If you’re using Firefox or Chrome and don’t mind browsing in HTML-cluttered text, you can even use this link to navigate to the FTC site map and navigate from page to page in source-code view without triggering the redirect. Again, it’s entirely possible I’m missing something, but if the full site is actually still running, it’s hard to see how a redirect after the real page is served could be avoiding any expenditures.
And this gem from the official policy:
The determination of which services continue during an appropriations lapse is not affected by whether the costs of shutdown exceed the costs of maintaining services.
