If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Blazemaster for Mayor
Post
by The Last Autobot » Mon Sep 20, 2010 6:10 pm
Here in my country we are about to vote for local city majors and recently we had a debate between all candidates for Lima, our capital.
One of the less-known candidates, while talking about security on the streets, offered to buy helicopters for our police department (something very weird, considering here we don't have any place where those choppers could land and more importantly the budget), and look what he showed during his exposition:
It was ROTF Blazemaster!
I noticed that and put it in my facebook and in on
www.transformersperu.com
A couple of hours later I told it to the owner of a very known blog here -who is my friend- who runs a blog of fails. From there on it started to spread like a virus! Now all newspapers, blogs and web pages talk about this! Even on TV it was mentioned!
Blazemaster now is famous and this guy has started to gain electors here, I will vote for him now!

So people are now voting for someone solely because they waved a Transformer about on the telly?
Christ.

Well, clearly this guy is a facsimile.
So he gets my vote.

Christ.
Still, compared to US politics (So people are now voting for someone solely because they waved a Christ about on the telly? Transformer.), it's a step up.

Which of course would pave the way for the "League of Super Best Friends" gestalt. (With kitbashed Mohammad!)

We could just look at it in terms of being a pretty good helicopter toy despite being a TF, that's why he used it as an example, that sort of thing.

No airports? No airfields? No tall building with large flat roofs? No sports pitches without overhead cables?
Got an Air Ambulance service? Maybe the helicopter could double up. Couldn't hurt with all those mountains.

Not too many actually.

A couple Air ambulance services, yes.
And here we don´t have too many mountains because Lima is in the coast.[/quote]
