They may be toast, but should the 4 "seasoned" sitting Melancthon Councillors decide to run for Council in the 2010 municipal election, here are some suggested campaign slogans for them.
Have some fun and match the catchphrase to the Councillor. Here is where your regular attendance at Council meetings will pay off.
"Worry? Why, what is going on"
"It is the province's fault"
"What you do on your own private property is no ones business"
(editor's note-go ahead and put that ethanol plant on your property, it isn't anyone's business according to this councillor's muddled logic)
"With all due respect everyone is wrong except me, being the resident legal, planning, local government and legislative expert"
"Anything I can go out of my way to do for you, Mr. Lowndes?"
"Are there any questions? Actually, you can't ask questions at this time, I mean, yes I am calling for questions, no, seriously yes, questions please now, just not from you"
"We have to vote yes or else it will go to the OMB"
(TRICKED YOU, this is a slogan that is applicable to all 4 of them)
Have fun, add your own.
And then there is the all time favourite, "I am personally offended by...(insert your own honest, proactive, initiative)".
ReplyDeleteDude ... you need to get laid.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Gumboot, it's this sense of righteous indignation and entitlement to make personal attacks that is so pitiful in the face of a real environmental and social tragedy and it only fuels divisiveness. So, Dude, be proud of the fruits of your loins (if anyone was ever foolish enough to procreate with you) if they've got the good common sense to stand up to your idiocy. Like... chill man.
ReplyDeleteSeriously dudes ... you need to get laid.
ReplyDeleteSo now it's plural. We all thank you for your clever contributions to this blog.

ReplyDeleteGumboot, nice of you to be so concerned about my sexual well being. I think, however, there can be no argument that everyone is getting royally screwed by Highland Companies and that my friend is enough for me. Or in the words of that ever resourceful Scotty: "Captain, the ship, cannae take much more".
ReplyDeleteWhy do you hide behind this Minebuster name? Why do you spend so much time on this Lowndes guy? Why do you love Star Trek so? Seriously Minebuster dude (and Anonymous dude), get out of you mother's basement and find a chick (or dude if you're into that). Its time to man up.
ReplyDeleteDear Gumboot,
ReplyDeleteWhy do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by? On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true.
Mr. Gumboot Clogeroo, or is it Mrs? I can't tell because you are hiding behind this Gumboot Clogeroo name.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you spend so much time on this website and on this minebuster guy? Pot...meet kettle....
I do appreciate your comments though. They are humourous and add to the fun and god knows we need some of that, but seriously dude (or dudette) really read some of the content and if you can comprehend it you will be as concerned as the rest of us about this "Lowndes" guy.
Trust me, it isn't funny.
AND to the person who posted the words to that Carpenter song, I can't get the song out of my head now-thanks alot!!
My name is Mr. Craig Lonsbury. I live in Alberta outside of Edmonton with my wife and two kids. I enjoy taking pot shots at hicks like yourself. You make us out here in the middle of no where look like geniuses.
ReplyDeleteWho ever you are -- you have to calm down and get a clue if you are to ever evoke change in your backwards community. Taking shots at local politicians from a blog they don't read (and more importantly - they don't know who's the author - maybe they're not even a registered voter!) isn't going to do F all.
Mr. Lonsbury,
ReplyDeleteI hope that you inform yourself thoroughly regarding the situation, the larger ramifications of the proponents' scheme and the well informed and intelligent opposition to it. Thank you for identifying yourself and for documenting your point of view.
My point of view is not support or opposition, but rather that you don't know what you're doing. It looks to me like you're shouting at the sky for being cloudy.
ReplyDeleteO.K. Please elaborate.
ReplyDeleteYeah Gumboot Craig Dude, What kind of F*** in' aphorism is that? Come on man, you're letting us down.
ReplyDeleteMr. Lonsbury, would you be the same Craig Lonsbury with postings on the University of Alberta website?
ReplyDeleteOr do you live at the address posted on 411.ca?
Unless you don't want the world to know who you are and be able to track you down, you don't post your real name. But then who knows if that is your real name.
Must be a burden being smarter than every one else in the whole world.
LAST comment to Bumboot Polkaroo, or whatever your blog name is:
ReplyDeleteFocus on the message NOT the messenger.
Also if this blog makes YOU all hoity toity and better than us "hicks", you should read this blog:
http://theurbanskifactor.blogspot.com/
Sure to offend your highbrown sensitive intellect.
Always investigate the author. You'll find that motive is more interesting than the "facts" they write.
ReplyDeleteAuthors and architects have been well investigated and are understood and documented. Thank you, Gumboot.
ReplyDeleteClose to you, what the hell does that mean?
ReplyDeleteI will check for an answer after I get in from the barn where I go to feed the animals and grade a load of potatoes, that will end up as food for someone. Let me guess, Mr. Lonsbury, aka Gumboot Clogeroo is a vegan and doesn't eat meat. Which means his reliance on local vegetables such as potatoes, is even more important.
When all of the prime agricultural land is gone, eaten up by development, solar farms, wind farms and aggregate, you can look to China and Mexico for your food.
Posted by just another "Local stupid hick"
Mmmmm. Mexican.
ReplyDeleteMr. Lonsbury as a resident of Edmonton and former resident of Melancthon Twp I take some offense to having my friends from that area referred to as "hicks". I assume that you are the same guy who used to work at MacDonalds in St. Albert. Have you forgotten your training and now have to use juvinile terms for justifying a position that you don't seem to be familiar with or even have made with the exception of insults. Why don't you get up to speed on the subject and then comment in any way you want. Most of these "hicks" grow potatoes and suffer the profits and loss's associated with same. The risks and work involve much more than handing them out through a window. And, if you never worked at MacDonalds... you should have, might have helped with the manners. Regards Don Berry
ReplyDeletePS - Not sure whether you live in Parkland or Sturgeon County but wait until someone digs a 2400 acre hole 250 ft. around you and see how you like it.
Don - is this you? http://donberry.net/ You may be the gayest man I've ever met.
ReplyDeleteNo, it is not me and I highly doubt it would be in your best interest to meet me. But should you continue to shoot off your mouth I will see what can be arranged. Now in the spirit of the new year I would suggest you move on to another blog where there is no Edmonton connection.
ReplyDeletePS - Thanks for the comment about being gay, it is quite true that I am usually a happy person but I used to be more happy when I could beat the shit out of some irritating creep... hockey ofcourse. Regards Don
Edmonton connection? I thought this hole is in Ontario? Shows how much gay-boy Don knows.
ReplyDeleteMr.Bumboot Polkaroo
ReplyDeleteAs much as I would like to engage you in your very immature rants and personal attacks, this blog is about a mine, a 2,400 acre, 200 foot open pit mine, on the headwaters of more than 1 million Ontarians water source and acres and acres of prime agricultural land.
There will be no further posts on this site from Bumboot, but check out the new posting, in case you want to see what he and his young children (very sorry for them) look like.
