Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Powered by Guinness.
What’s the story behind your name? We all get our power from something, Popeye has spinach, Superman has kryptonite, yuppies have Starbucks, I have the magical elixir from St. James Gate in Dublin, Ireland.
Where do you live? Issaquah, Washington
How old are you? I’m at an age that puts me between “old enough to know better” and “young enough not to care”.
Tell us briefly about yourself. I recently moved to the liberal side of Washington after spending almost 10 years in the gun-toting redneck east side of the state. I’ve live in many locations, Utah, England, Washington (twice), California, Alaska. My dad was in the Air Force (Pararescue, the toughest job in the world). I enjoy riding my bicycles (both road and mountain), shooting my long guns (I still love 30-06), double tapping my GLOCK 17 with hi-cap magazines, and generally avoiding large crowds.
How long have you been reading IMAO? A couple of years.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Daily fabulous facts.
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Unfair. Unbalance. Unmedicated. Oh wait, those are yours, so I guess mine would be… Unhinged political humor.
What’s you favorite political issue? Gun rights, because I love my guns and the anti-gun crowd is fun (and easy) to torment.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. No, but I used-ta-could have one.
How should close elections be settled: Recounts, kung fu fight, or pistols at dawn? Pistols at dawn sounds good, but we need some something a bit more scientific and secrative. Sniper rifles at 500 yards minimum, no set time only a 1 week window to “win” your election. And think about it, this would also eliminate excess politicians.
If you commented in the last post asking for participants, you’re still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far; just because you may not think you’re interesting doesn’t mean we won’t enjoy your story.
Not only would the sniper match eliminate excess politicians, the most pro-gun candidate would probably win, since that would be the one with most experience with guns… sounds great to me.
I think PbG is onto something with the sniper shootout. Experienced riflemen would win and those are the kind of people we need in office.
I’m pretty sure Kryptonite isn’t the source of Supermans powers, but his kryp–uh…his weakness.
I’d have said kung fu. We may need good snipers in office, but do we really need them more than we need good ninjas?
Come to think of it, those two are actaully very similar. You won’t know that either is there until you’re dead. And now, you won’t even know which one it was!
Nice to meet ya, nonetheless! Also… aren’t there certian-colored kryptonite that help superman? I saw a guide for them somewhere…
Well, ninjas are pretty good policy makers, so you have a point. Why can’t we have it be kung fu and sniping? Then we would have SNIPER NINJAS running the country, and thats pretty awesome. Wouldn’t that be the best option?
Red kryptonite has random effects, so it can be positive, and there are a couple kinds of kryptonite that cancel out the bad kinds.. I mean, you nerds and your “Comic Books”.
I think good MMA UFC tournament would be pretty decisive. The Breck Girl would be most resistant to submission, and the Hildebeest would be a contender in the light heavyweight division, but clearly Fred! would become president after knocking out his opponent 23 seconds into the first round.
Frank, I’d like to be in the running for the profile selection.
Long time lurker here.
Thanks!

Since I am a girl, I lean toward a black and tan. But it is the Guinness that is the lifeblood of that.
Oh and double posting to try to get Frank J. to notice you, Frank Voikel? You sly devil.
Here’s that guide! Alright, so none are exactly “helpful,” but blue k perhaps helps him in the way that green k helps Lex? Maybe?
Ya know… I never really liked Superman. Always seemed too super.
Right on with the sniper ninjas. That is probably the best solution (after Fred!, of course).
Thats hardly a complete guide, it doesn’t even have pink kryptonite! You could still be correct.
I think its safe to assume Fred! is a sniper ninja.
Hey, that’s the only one I could find. If you have a better one, I’d love to see it.
What does pink kryptonite do? Does it make him start acting like John Edwards or something? I daresay, that would probably be even more useful to a villain than the green.
Actually.. thats exactly what Pink Kryptonite does.

Heh, Wikipedia, it feels like cheating on Google. Jewel Kryptonite could have a positive effect on Superman.
I’m pretty sure Supes gets his powers from exposure to yellow sun radiation. Although it’s more like a catalyst than a source proper, but let’s not get into semantics.
Whow, I’ve actually been to Issaquah, Washington.
“Oh and double posting to try to get Frank J. to notice you, Frank Voikel? You sly devil.”
I know I am… think he’ll notice?
I figure I’ll up my chance of getting seen if I have twice the area covered.
Basic probability and all that…
Yo i found out what imao means ” In my arrogant opinion”
Close elections: Also, when they’re dead, they won’t be running around whining!
Elcetion by Sniper-battle?
Aw hell, now there’s somethin I’ll get behind…
