Unlike ObamaCare, NerdCare is Voluntary

Posted by on

Anonymiss of Nuking Politics sent me this because she actually knows this guy holding the sign. It’s a friend or a relative or her bookie or something. I’m not sure, I just skimmed the email.

Anyway, this guy made it on to ESPN while they panned the crowd during “College Gameday”:

And the nerds who use Bitcoin (which is either a secure digital currency, or cyberpunk tulip bulbs) are so excited to be on TV that complete strangers are scanning his QR code and sending him money (some NSFW comments at link).

Which is just crazy.

Because if *I* were a friend/relative/bookie of Anonymiss, I’d hold up a different sign:

Where’s Frank?

Posted by on

Some of you noticed that Frank J. hasn’t been around this week. That prompted some to wonder, “Where’s Frank?”

So, just where is Frank?

Well, actually, I don’t know. Turns out he doesn’t report to me. I checked the IMAO org chart. Here’s a copy:

See?

But, it may give us an idea of where Frank J. has been. Here are ideas:

  • Fixing the Obamacare Website. Not so that it’ll work, but that it’ll finally accept payments. To Frank J’s PayPal account.
  • Standing in line at Best Buy.
  • Standing in line at the Apple Store. For a frikkin’ gift card.
  • Standing in line at Walmart.
  • At home. He just forgot to set his alarm.
  • Standing in line at StubHub for tickets to Boise State’s bowl game. And, no, he doesn’t really understand StubHub.
  • At home, searching his files, trying to remember why he ever let me have keys to this place.

What about you? Where do you think Frank J. is? What’s he been up to?
