Caption this Daily Times photo.

I'll get the ball rolling:

Mayor Cunningham asks "Who among you accepts the Republican Party as your personal savior?"

Mayor Cunningham asks "How many of y'all think the Daily Times is a tool of liberal left real estate developers and that all these bloggers or whatever the devil you call them are a bunch of terrorist sympathizers?"

Mayor Cunningham asks "Who wants pie?"

Keep it clean.

You didn't post your results! Just copy the gibberish under "post your results on your blog" and paste it in the BVs Reply Box. See mine under "Testicular Fortitude."

You know, Jerry's right: I would never say that word in public. And I wish he wouldn't either! Good Golly, there were little ole ladies in that room...

Not to Worry . . .

I understand that you can take the test more than once if you are displeased with the results . . . just like changing the truth to fit one's political agenda . . . or making a court ruling or political decision based not on the law but on the race and/or gender and/or connections of the affected one(s) . . .

People with platinum balls tend to frequent high-class nightclubs, drinking gallons of Cristal with their posse well into the wee hours of the night until, unprovoked, they open fire on the bartender with their pearlhandled glock, killing the man and inciting chaos. They later blame the incident on a hooker.

I wouldn't hurt a fly without provocation, there's not a single handgun in my arsenal, I can't drink a gallon of anything anymore, and my posse is afraid of me since that last little incident at Wayne's just outside of Rockwood.

But I am not a Yankee . . . I graduated from Central High in Knoxville . . . and the University of Tennessee . . . and I'm a former jock (we whupped ole Everett High in football) . . . And I speak Spanish . . . what am I doing in THIS group? I think you alls a bunch of furiners (that is foreigners in 'Merville' lingo speak) . . . and I have IRON testicularity to boot!

I filed a document in Knox Chancery Court today that mentioned a former US Attorney and a present Blount County Circuit Court judge and a certain Blount County attorney (who can't run for judge because his finances are questionable) and a certain Knox County attorney who was indicted by a Knox County Grand Jury for spousal abuse . . . they all seem to associated in obvious and myriad ways (I learned that word 'myriad' at Shannondale Elementary School in Knoxville).

Anyone interested in reading the document?

Let's keep these legal documents in the courts and lawyer offices. Too much information here already.

well then...

Submitted by peto verum on Sat, 12/01/2007 - 09:14.

How about this? Start a new line of tee shirts. Submit ideas for slogans like "Hey Mayor, check out my fortitude!" or "I've got the biggest fortitudes around" then have the best ones printed and sell them. Of course all proceeds should go to the New Order of Blount Arrogant eLected Leader's Society. Who knows, N O B A L L S might provide scholarships from the proceeds for the poor, stunned, victimized county employees who only make $60K per year and stop them from fleecing the taxpayers!
Get those suggestions in quick, they need more of our money ASAP!
