Forehead Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Link For more than 20 years, candidates running for office in the Hillbrook/Tall Oaks Civic Association in Annandale have stood up, waved and received polite applause at the annual meeting in June. Everyone votes, eats ice cream, chats with neighbors and goes home. This past election, to make the meeting move faster, only the names and qualifications of the candidates were announced. Running for president, Ms. Beatha Lee was described as a relatively new resident, interested in neighborhood activities and the outdoors, who had experience in Maine overseeing an estate of 26 acres. Though unfamiliar with Lee's name, the crowd of about 50 or so raised their hands, assuming that the candidate was a civic-minded newcomer. These days, it's hard to get anyone to volunteer to devote the time needed to serve as an officer. The slate that Lee headed was unanimously elected. Everyone ate ice cream, watched a karate demonstration and went home. Only weeks later did many discover that their new president was, in fact, a dog.

Forehead Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 did you think I was serious? No, that's why I referred to it as a drive by or one-liner, or your material. That typically denotes the understanding that it is a joke. I'm just stating the fact that your material is terrible. You seem to try it out in practically every thread, and it almost never works. Well, maybe it entertains Slacky, so if he keeps you warm at night, then keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 So, is every year the dog serves worth seven? I can't wait for the shocking photos of the president sniffing some constituent's crotch. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulane Skins Fan Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I don't think its a big deal as long as the board keeps her on a short leash. And who knows, maybe the other candidates were fish and cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Crawford had served three consecutive terms as president and, according to association bylaws, could not run for the office again. For weeks leading up to the election, he begged, pleaded and cajoled neighbors to run for the often-thankless volunteer post. No one bit. Hopefully, she doesn't either.
