I think we should make a list of candidates for the (upcoming?) mayubernatorial election.
A few I can remember:
Kurt Gaistburn (sic)
PbR
Timmy von Trimble
who else? Campaign slogans?

You've got Horse listed twice. And what about Merle Allin and Danny Bonaduce from Newbridge's Next Top Mayor?
-
thanks, guys. I modified the original list.
btw, I'm probably the least equipped person to compile this, but on a whim, wanted to see all the candidates listed together. It's inspiring me to go back and have another listen to their slogans and promises.

do you think there will be extensive coverage of the race once we start getting closer to november or something? i was thinking maybe it would be some big event on the show during the presidential elections, and that instead of talking about any of that, they'd just talk about the mayubernatorial race.
also, i don't remember hearing some of these candidates...could someone point me in the right direction in the archive of the following:
-Darren and Chief from Consolidated Cardboard
- Thor from Eastbridge
- Bob
- Kurt Geistborn

Newbridge holds their elections in July.
-Darren and Chief from Consolidated Cardboard
8/28/07
- Thor from Eastbridge
Note sure of the date of this one.
- - Bob
7/24/07
- Kurt Gaistburn
1/22/08
-
I believe that Thor's candidacy was proclaimed by Darren in that same call.

it's time to kill this bit, b/c it's getting old....

No, you're wrong. It's still funny.
-
i second that, julie.
everytime i hear someone start to say "i'd like to throw my..." i get very excited.
-
well, if Julie thinks it's funny it must still be funny, although I had the distinct impression that the last candidate's mannerisms were completely making fun of Julie's tendency to say "...and stuff" and "....like" every other word...no offense, Julie.

Wow, I felt the same way! I thought I was a narcissist, but I'm glad to see that I'm not so self-centered after all. You made my day. Do I talk like that even when I'm not over drinking? That's something I'll have to work on.
The running for mayor thing is even funnier when I am expecting it.

as Samir said pudge is a caller that's been with the show for much longer than Julie
why don't you dig a little deeper in the archives before you start telling Tom when it's time to kill a bit and what their character's are?
gotta do your best show homework!

Thor called to declare his candidacy on 7/31/07.
The candidacy calls can't end until Zachary Brimstead throws him cummerbund into the ring.

Beat me to it, MoS:
• July 31, 2007: Thor [Running for Mayor] (0:21), PBR [The Fall of PBR] (1:42)

You called it, sirrah!

I was so ready for that call to happen. I was a bit disappointed that Mr. Brimstead didn't perform anything from Enslaved's Below the Lights LP, but I suppose that's a small complaint.

I'm most excited to hear the campaign concessions from Bob, Mike and PFT. Danzig and Kurt Gaistburn seem to be the most powerful opponents for Tor among those left in the race, but I could see Sleepy Jeff hanging in there simply by not being able to stay awake long enough to drop out of the race.
-
I'm amazed that someone could intimidate Horse.
-
Matt, im glad you remembered PFT. i think Sleepy Jeff is going to be hard to beat... correct me if im wrong but i thought there where two pancake dinners planed on that show.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Wes, but the fact is I'm in the race for the duration. No chocolatier is going to intimidate me. Come on out for the pancake lunch/three-legged race this Saturday!

You're right, and I apologize for rushing to judgment. If you can outlast Danzig in the face of these vicious but delicious intimidation tactics, I will officially break ties with the Danzig and Roy camps to offer my endorsement of your campaign and stump for you throughout the FOT community.
I hope the race is before the pancake lunch, though, or things could get kinda messy.

Remember that Mike has the weight of the 700 Club to throw around. Chocolatier bullies be warned.

Trying to get back into the swing of things with painting, I deceided to do some practice runs and one of the items ended up being a campaign poster for Zachary Brimstead, ESQ done in the style of those 1930's circus/mystic posters. I don't quite like how the ideas merged and my skills are still pretty raw but here is the choppy result. Did he ever get his 37th signature?

That is a fantastic poster! Well done!
Though to be honest I lost interest in the race when my horse (not Horse) dropped out. I was for little Timmy Von Trimble all the way. He had some good ideas.
-
I'm amazed that someone could intimidate Horse.
I'm not. Tough guys like that fold easily.
-
I believe this is the first visual depiction EVER of laser beans.
-
I'm glad you picked up on that!
-
I also think you've captured the fey-ness of ZB outstandingly. He looks a bit like Rip Taylor and a bit like the "yeaaaus!" guy from the 70s, whatever his name was.

Is mayubernatorial even a word? I don't think it is but I wouldn't think Tom would use a made up word because he is always very eloquent. I've tried to look it up but haven't had any luck. If it isn't a word, what is the origin of it?
-
I'll bite: its inspiration is "gubernatorial," meaning "of or relating to a governor." "Mayubernatorial race" then became "mayubernatorium."
-
I must be behind on my shows because I don't remember half of these candidates dropping out.
Note that Tom discovered the withdrawals of TvT, Clontle, and Merle via e-mail -- they didn't actually call the show.

That's the one, although I do sometimes confuse him with the guy who played the Guiness guy on Sanford and Son.
Edit: D'oh, that's Jonathan Harris of Lost in Space!

What's more: I'm not sure that Tom's new L.A. pal, Danny Bonaduce, is actually running... If I remember, he's just HOSTING the Shout! network show searching for a new mayor. I need to give Matthew Tompkins a re-listen.

If I recall, Danny and Merle Allin were contestants on Newbridge's Next Top Mayor, so I understood that they were candidates.

Newbridge's Next Top Mayor
Tompkins tells Tom to get ready to be invaded by two huge stars who will help his town elect their next mayor. Tom wants to know if they are legitimately huge stars or stars within the skewed Shout! Network universe. Tompkins says the first star is currently a huge musician, and he gives Tom a hint by asking him if The Texas Nazis ring a bell. Tom is able to identify the so-called star as Merle Allin, GG Allin's brother and longtime bassist. He also correctly guesses that he still has his trademark Hitler mustache. Tom is not excited about seeing Merle on the show.
Tompkins says the second star is still a great bassist, but he's more known for his work in television, including a hugely successful show that aired last year. Tom needs a hint, but red hair doesn't help. Tompkins meets him halfway by performing "Come On Get Happy," and Tom can't believe he's actually referring to Danny Bonaduce. Tompkins thinks he's probably the best bass player around. Tom didn't know he was renowned for his musicianship, and he's not convinced he was actually playing his instrument during his tenure in The Partridge Family. Tompkins says Bonaduce claimed he played on all the recordings and was the first guy to do that popping thing that the guy in Chili Pepper does. Tom thinks he's lying about inventing the playing style.
Tompkins says each contestant on the show will go through various challenges, such as mazes and a handburger eating/selling contest. The producers will also bring in 12 models and former models as mayoral candidates. Tompkins thinks a mayor should look great, but Tom prefers a more well-rounded public official. Tompkins tells Tom he doesn't like his attitude one bit. He thinks Tom should be cheering at all of his ideas like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, or, at the very least, a Cleveland Browns cheerleader. Tom says he thinks they are terrible ideas being executed by scabs, leading to a lowering of television standards and the debasing of our culture. Tompkins says he totally disagrees, and he thinks he can hammer home his point that Shout! is offering valuable, high entertainment with his final -- and best -- show.
Based on the above, I guess Merle was never an official candidate either.
25 - 36. 12 models and former models??

There was no talk of Newbridge's Next Top Mayor at the Shout! Network's presentation during the TCA Press Tour last week, so someone may have pulled some strings to shelve the show.
