• So long as Americans get reciprocal voting rights, no sweat.
• I almost forgot: we will also need you new voters to ratify and locally enforce the American Constitution. With rights come responsibilities, after all.
• Well, they can. Kinda.
• Meh. I'm to busy registering twenty times to vote in the Afghanistan elections to bother with voting in the US. Although, now I come to think of it, I swear the guy who was selling the voting IDs on the streets of Kabul also had a box in his car marked "Florida".
• While we're at it, there's too few shipments of Tim Tams being sent over here to the States, which affects me, so I demand voting rights in the upcoming Australian elections to correct this.
• pfeh. we aussies neither want nor need your american democracy. we can launch our own pre-emptive strikes, thankyou very much.
• No representation without taxation.
• No representation without taxation. *applauds, drinks coffee through Tim Tam*
• *emulates Wolof, only with more flair*
• More flair than Wolof? *explodes*
• *defers to the lovely tracicle, as ever*
• Could someone send me some of those Classic Dark Tim Tams? Wolof, tracicle?
• Yeah, but then you'll just be begging for the other flavours, and that's not a good look. Where are you?
• we aussies neither want nor need your american democracy. Oh, hell, I don't want it, either. It's all about the Tim Tams, my friends. All about the Tim Tams. *makes huge kitty eyes*
• Hey, it's a not very well written Swiftian satire!
• are the tim tams like the poms in that other thread? *confused as usual*
• Democracy is a charitable way to describe the U.S. form of gubmint. We'd be an ochlocracy if we could spell it.
• we will also need you new voters to ratify and locally enforce the American Constitution. We're having some problems with enforcement in the States now Fes, but definitely agree.
• Ochlocracy? That sounds like Klingon to me.
• I disagree, spackle. I'm thinking more of a plutocracy. Sadly.
• Hmm... have you BEEN to rural Alabama lately?
• No, but I'd wager the mobs of people in rural Alabama don't "rule" the country. People with money who use it to underhandedly influence the rural Alabamians and others in increasingly cynical and Nasty McEvillish ways do. IMO.
• Yeah, I was joking. But I guess ochlocracy just isn't as funny once someone loses an eye...
• I just like saying it. Ochlocracy. Ochlocracy. Spackle. Akimbo.
• Echolocation. Epoxy. Palooka.
• Tim Tams? Pony request: please Monkeybashi, I'd like a Tim Tam button under "Post new comment". *bows down and worships our chocolate biscuit overlords*
• Anyone who wants Tim Tams, email me with your address. I'm feeling generous today. :)
• Hi Wolof, traicile, thanks for the offers of feeding my Tim Tam addiction. As my mate used to say: Goddam the pusher man. It is actually only the Classic Dark ones I have a problem with. No really, it is! Honest! (They have the normal flavour in my local Tesco's, but it's just not the same). I'd feel guilty however about getting you to post them all the way over to the UK. But thanks again for the offer, you are both too kind.
• Pfft, consider it a Christmas present. I'm already sending some to other monkeys, so it's no trouble.
