Live blogging election night?
I guess we’ve done this a couple of times and it was pretty popular. TSO brought it up the other day, so I thought I’d put the question to the masses; do you guys want to have a live discussion on Election Night? I might draft a couple of you to help moderate, but that’s easy enough. I just think it’s a better time than sitting in your living room and shooting up your TVs.
I just want to get a measure of the participation for the software I have to use.

Can we have a drinking game with it?
Virtual beer-pong. Perfect!
I think drinking will be a necessity. And OS2, here at my casa it will be bourbon pong.
Fantastic!
I’ve got some Woodford Reserve and Four Roses Bourbon for medicinal purposes only. Unfortunately, I have to “check” it every now and then to ensure it hasn’t gone bad and that none of it is evaporating.
So far, so good.
After my bourbon check, I’ll probably hit the sack by 9 well before we know who won the election….although I think most of us here have an inkling of who it will be.
I’ll definitely be drinking. I’ll be celebrating that idiot’s defeat, and mourning that other idiot’s victory.
I went and committed the foul deed today. I figured Halloween was as good a day as any to carry out such a grim task.
So did my wife. She’ll be working or commuting the entire time the polls are open. The lines were long all week.
I will be helping out at dance lessons that night. Seems a much better activity than spending the evening worrying about the result. If Hillary wins, I’ll be depressed. If Trump wins, I’ll be less depressed. All in all, I’d rather help out at the dance lessons. But thanks for the offer Jonn.
I am game.
Maybe Zika-Commie will join in the fun.
Don’t fear the commie!
OT a bit but still election related, somewhat.

Over 5000 subcontractors and middlemen have the access to perform this for any or all clients. It can give contract signing authority to whoever the user chooses. All political power can be converted to the hands of a few anonymous subcontractors.

I don’t know enough about the tech involved and, hell, even the maths to be a competent judge on whether or not this is a thing. But there’s lots of really smart people who hang out here and can give the rest of us a hand.
Video at the link above goes into detail.
Commander in Chief illary? ?
I’m in, if you guys will tolerate me. The VP debate 4 years will always be something I remember because of you miscreants abusing Joe BiteMe in real time.
Why do we have to start tolerating you now?
We could exchange hearty fuck yous. Just brainstorming….
Sure, count me in, at least for part of the time.
Count me in.
It may be my last hoorah inasmuch as I’m on the record more than once saying that IF the Bitch of Benghazi wins (i.e., is elected by sufficient numbers of morons, Free Cheesers, and dead Democrats) I am unplugging. So, yeah, I’m in. Go for it.
Allow me to go on record as hoping you’ll reconsider. No matter who wins this one, strong opposition voices are important. Besides, we’d miss you.
Agreed.
Dude, no more leaving. But if you do, at least drop some breadcrumbs
Hoping you’ll rethink if wideload wins. You would be missed.
I would rather watch short haired cats shed their coats.
You don’t have to watch anymore. You can help them out.
I could be up for it. WooHoo!
The Russian and I are scheduled to spend some of the evening/early night teaching little rat Pre-K children to read. I’m up for it afterwards. Actually it might be cancelled as the reading-to-rats class is at a voting place, which won’t close until 1900. We’ll see.
(No, they’re not rats. Yes, I get great satisfaction teaching these little rat kids. But, I wish that, when they first come to me, they have just a little idea about alphabet/words. Some come at 4-5 y/o having no knowledge of the alphabet. None. Some {many ?} moms {rarely dads} see it as a means of dumping their kids for an hour or so. Works for me. Any reason is a good reason to teach. I love these little kids and maybe, just maybe, I can have a positive impact on their life.)
Good on ya HMC Ret, good on ya.
And good on The Russian.
I would probably check it out since I’m off work that day.
I’m in! But there must be bourbon and stogie breaks. It’s kind’a a rule here at La Casa de AW1Ed.
I’ll be there
Count me in too.
Crap!! Did I just volunteer?
Thought I promised never to do that again after I enlisted…
than re-enlisted…
than re-enlisted…
than re-enlisted…
I’ll make some Preßwürste, Mischbrot, Essig, and some freshly ground/brewed Kaffee.
If you throw in some geruepfte, kaesespaetzle and a bienenstich cake I’m in!
Yum. Decadent yum.
Bring it Jonn. Should be very inresting. Joe
I will be game after about 7:30 PM Eastern.
I’m in..if you need another moderator, I’m available…just let me know 😀
Hey New moderator….can you get us a fucking “like” button? 🙂
I am all in as I was last GE.
I’m on board I’m tied up a little with kids. But my other half maybe willing to help with being a referee
If needed…
Crap I voted today talk about the hardest thing I’ve ever done
Guys, I’m really starting to worry that someone might actually win this election.
I’ll be on for a bit that evening; thanks for doing this!
I am looking forward to it!
Not sure I can stand watching but maybe cleaning my guns while doing so will help. I’m thinking it will all be over by 1900 or will drag on for weeks. Or years…as evidenced by Dims still disputing that W won.
Watch what? It’s a party.
Sounds great Jonn!!!
Sure, I’ll be out amongst the hippies, so I’ll either be barracaded in a hotel or laughing hysterically at them.
Think by the time it gets interesting I will long since be in bed. Plan to read in the morning in the Czech newspapers who won.
Sounds like a fun time. I’m in!!
Seems like my area manager has plans to send me to work at another office on Election Day and the day after, so as soon as I can get settled there, I will hopefully join into the festivities.
