I really do hope The Fat Man Who Never Comes Back does stand - he'll be a populist pick of sorts, and his sense of humour would appeal.
Apart from lack of motivation, interest and name recognition, I suspect the main reason TFM is not running is that my good man Outriggr/Whiskeydog (a delightful and gifted fellow whom you'd be glad to know) has reneged on his promise to make an epic campaign poster for our obese young friend.
I will note that, given the few candidates running relative to the number of committee spots available, if he did run, TFM might have a sporting chance!
I'd love to see Jimbo's face if some trolling, non-contributing jerk-off like the Fat Man came in 7th place.
Speaking of Jimbo soiling himself, where's Kurt Weber? Where's Tony Sidaway? I've got my popcorn, I've paid my admission, now I want my friggin' "Carnival of the Absurd" [nods to Kato], which brings me to Bishzilla...
I'm pretty sure Bishzilla will win; while I find her alterego painfully unfunny in comparison to yours truly, Bishonen is a monster contributor (and the author of
my favorite article of all time--it seriously makes me cry!); she's well-spoken (though a bit abrasive, at times), opinionated and cuts through the bullshit.
Even if she does stay "in character" during Arb Com cases (btw, I'd love to hear her responding to Virginia Slim's latest scandalous allegations of cyber-molestation in her insufferable, twee baby/cavemanspeak), it's impossible that Bishonen's intelligence and insight won't shine through the scaly reptilian schtick. I'll probably vote for her. Too bad "it" would have to recuse itself from 60% of all cases, since that many of them seem to involve her BFF Giano.
