The End of Jolt Country BBS

[Knuckles the CLown]

Actually Hillary tends to lean more toward the conservative side of things

BTW, did you vote for Steve Largent?

Perhaps a spirited conversation in the other base. QUICKLY BEFORE BEN "I QUIT EVERYTHING I DO EXCEPT DRINKING AND ANTI-DEPRESSANTS" PARRISH pulls the plug on it all.

[hygraed]

good go make out with her then. I wish she would die. she is what is wrong with the entire country wrapped up in a poorly fitting pant suit.

As a flaming liberal and a filthy maggot, I'm going to have to turn down that offer.

BTW, did you vote for Steve Largent?

No, I was 14 when he ran for governor.

Has hollywood called yet?

You know, every time a singer says that they are quitting it gives their career a big boost. Jonsey's really onto something with threatening to kill jc.

[Verse Project]

Take some solace, friends, in the fact that this site at least got a chance to live!

[Harpo]

Hey, everyone! Does the impending absence of Jolt Country leave you with a deep yearning in your cockles?

Then come on over to groucho! Current fun threads include one in which the SysOp complains about electronic drums making too much noise!

It's the most fun had on the internet since that fat guy posted pictures of himself on his lawnmower!

[Chico]

Yeah, everyone but Pinback should pack up and head over to groucho.

This seems like a good place to say congratulations on getting to Seattle, m'man! I know you had been wanting to make the move for a while, and I am psyched that you were able to make it a reality.

This probably deserves its own thread, but CONGRATS CO!

Thanks dude! I had to get out of rochester, the lack of opportunity was absolutely killing me.

k.roo, why don't you start us off?

Over the weekend I bumped into k.roo at the Ruby Tuesday in Kennesaw, GA. He was seated alone at the bar, wearing a turtleneck sweater and working through a Sudoku puzzle.

I walked up to him and mentioned the planned 3/31/08 demise of Jolt Country. He said he was "aware of it" without once looking up. When he reached forward to put his cigarrette out in an ashtray, it looked as though his hand was tremoring. He also looked noticeably gaunt and was hunched over.

It was clear he hasn't taken this news well at all. Poor k.roo.

[reverse psychology guy]

Jonsey's just trying to get us to make more of an effort here. Despite what pinhead says, Jonsey needs an outlet like this and caltrops isn't enough.

I just dont know how as brothers you became a liberal. We have so much in common but this difference? You witnessed first hand how the liberals ruined our home state, Hillary Clinton, nuff said on and on, was it the extra year of college you almost completed that skewed your mind?????

I don't consider myself liberal. You're right in that liberalism completely doomed New York State. I think that when any political party gets too much power they can't handle it. I'd be voting Republican as often as I could if I lived in NY.

The difference for the new Presidential election is that someone needs to undo the following:

- George W. Bush's administration has stripped away many freedoms that Americans have enjoyed.

- George W. Bush's administration is chiefly concerned about ensuring record profitability for his oil buddies.

- Bush has made incompetence acceptable. "You're doin' a great job, Brownie!" Michael Brown is responsible for the horrible way that FEMA handled the recovery of New Orleans. Look, I could go on and on, but let me bringing up the FEMA thing speak to the warrantless wiretapping, the U.S. Attorney purge, the WMD lies and so forth.

Bush's administration works for corporations. With my lone, meager vote, I would like to see the country get away from that, at least for four years. Who is going to help us realize that?

- Ron Paul would. But a lot of his other ideas are crazy, and he might just hate Jewish people. Not in the normal way that many of us have experienced, like when Shawn Green's pathetic crybabying forced Gord Ash to trade him for Raul Mondesi, but in the other, more permanent way.

- Maybe John McCain, but with the way he embraced and slurped down the dick of Bush, after the way Bush campaigned against him in 2000, who knows? There's a lot of status quo here.

- I am convinced that Hillary gets us Jeb Bush in 2012 or 2016. Plus, you know what, I really, really dislike the thought that electing Hillary gets us 16 years of Clinton/Bush rule. It's fucking ridiculous.

Who does that leave? John Edwards? You know what, personally, I'm good with putting the country in charge of the fucking Southerners for another four years. Everyone I've talked to from Louisiana, for instance, has been an awesome down-to-earth person, but I think we're good for the next go-round. I don't get the idea that Romney is anything but a career politician who will do what he's told by corporate overlords. Fuck Mike Huckabee, he's too stupid to be elected to run a fantasy football league.

That leaves Barack Obama as the only other one with a chance. And, if I had to guess, I'd say in all likelihood that he'll be choking down the agenda of whatever shadow government before he leaves office as well, but at least there is a chance he wouldn't, at least there is a maybe. Put Teddy Roosevelt on the ballot and I'd vote for the Republican. Put William Howard Taft (who was probably the third best President this country ever had, after Lincoln and FDR) on the ballot and I'd register myself Republican in order to vote for his fat ass in the primary. But the people who have been running the show with that party have done everything possible to destroy America and re-create it so that it forever benefits them and their spoiled, plastic families, and at least with Barack Obama there is a 5% chance that could be paused for a couple years.

I will save my political diatribe for the political base perhaps. The short version is "Amen to the above rant!"

Anyway, outside of that, I'm sad to read about the imminent closing of this place, as I only started lurking and occasionally posting here last year. Bad timing indeed.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Yeah, I think the "closing of the BBS" thing has gotten way out of hand. I should unsticky those threads. I don't agree with any of the positions I had before.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

All right, unstickied. Welcome to JC 2008!

[JC lives]

yeah, and fuck pinback!

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

You can register your displeasure with the decision that JC will Live On here: http://dharmawave.org/forum/

That BBS features postings from Jonathan "Sound Advice" Boddiford, who is one of my favorite forum posters.

[jack's shock and suprise]

Are you serious that he kept that website up this long? Who knew?
