This may not make much sense to anyone but Californians, but...I have been mesmerized all evening by the #demonsheep twitter feed.

Also, this:

The S.F.T.E.O.D.S.F.O.P.D.

I would never in a million years vote for Chuck Devore, but I'm glad to see his campaign has a sense of humor.

Oh my dear, what riches! The world is just full of nitwittery, and it's all for our entertainment.

[jaybee65]

and it's all for our entertainment

It really is. Sometimes, that's the only comfort!

[sk56]

Well, it is your state, and not mine. We have crazies too, but nothing too over the top just right now.

[jaybee65]

It really says something that in comparison to many of these candidates, Ahhhhhnold looks like a statesman. *Cries for my state*

This is so bizarre. Yet oddly compelling. I can't really decide if TPTB at Chuck Devore's campaign are geniuses or idiots.

Totally random, but: you changed your default icon! It's quite pretty, but I have to tell you I did a double take. I'm so used to your other icon. LOL.

[jaybee65]

Don't blame Chuck Devore's people! They're merely mocking Carly Fiorina's insane video.

Which maybe you haven't seen. But you must! It's merely cheesy until about the 2:20 mark, but then it gets surreal.

Here it is, in all it's drug-addled glory.

And yes, I have had that default icon for eons and decided to change it. the new one kind of tells you where I live, except not directly.

[madamedarque]

Oh! Now I understand. See, I have seen that video, but I thought it was a parody. And so I thought it was really weird when Chuck Devore started talking about it on his website. I found the whole thing very surreal. But now that I know the video is legitimate...oh god. I think it was the sheep with the devil eyes that got me. And the thumping, Lord of the Rings-style music in the background. How could anybody have thought that was a good idea?

And don't you just love our pretty Bay Area landmarks? btw, what was your old icon a picture of? It looked like a stained window glass design to me, but I could never figure out what it was from.

[jaybee65]

The old icon was a mandala design by an artist I found somewhere online and thought was pretty! But it was time for a change.

As for the new one, I picked that particular landmark because I can truthfully say that I live "on Alcatraz" -- which gets me funny looks from people who don't know Oakland streetnames. ;-)

No idea what's going on here but I do like it when politics isn't always SRS BSNS. And expressing my approval of your new default icon! Damn, I wish my city was so pretty.

[jaybee65]

Well, the place in the icon is pretty from a distance -- but kind of creepy and run-down up close! But the scenery is one of the main reasons I moved here from the vast interior of the continent!
