"Yes, I'm a woman and yes, I was a political canidate. Don't ask for my help silly boys~"
And then the whole campaign bus clapped and Alberta Eistine gave Wu a $100% bill.

But I agree with Wu on this though, people who feel entitled to other people's work and unpaid time are the worst. Which reminds me...
Kiwis, I got a great offer to work on Spacekat Studios for their new game to be released soon! They say the pay will be very good but didn't specify anything. Do you think I should take the offer?

It's amazing the ease with which John can claim something and be instantly wrong. A two-second search says that slugburgers aren't named because they go down like a slug (real appetizing, John), but because slug is old slang for a nickel, which is what these cheap burgers went for back in the day. They're also the opposite of a delicacy, being beef or pork extended with soybeans to keep the cost down.

I'm also trying to figure out how John even knows about these things. They seem to come from northeast Mississippi, one of the more rural areas of the state. Ole Miss isn't too far away, but considering his disdain for rural plebs, I find it hard to believe he ever ventured outside his college bubble. Maybe this was back when John was still fat and the siren call of deep-fried burgers was too tempting to resist. Looks like that part of him is reasserting itself.

If John were smart he'd realize that he does have a marketable resource from his campaign. He's got an entire rolodex full of incredibly stupid Silicon Valley middle managers with - to coin a phrase - very open wallets. He's shooting himself in the size-20 foot by not jumping on that fundraising opportunity.

I thought that famous "dispassionate engineering side of his brain" would kick in and he'd leverage the residue of his campaign while the contacts are fresh and there's whatever momentum that did exist.


"Please don't call asking for things right now. I just don't have anything to give, emotionally."

Holy Crap on a cracker! The 8th District dodged a bullet. If John is emotionally wrecked from a pre-ballot campaign, he just wouldn't be able to go the distance in an election, let alone hold office.
Would that have been his first communication as representative??

I think you could turn John into a great fundraising tool! Just tie him to the back of a rusty old pickup truck, keep him under a blanket, and charge yokels five bucks a head to gaze in horror at the Abominable Ogre-Ghoul of Lovecraft Country.

Do we really need to call the those people survivors when there is zero chance of dying if they currently serve in the army (meaning they are young and somewhat fit)?

The Mississippi DMV page lists a "limited" learners permit at 14. Not sure what that allows you to do. Has to be more restricted than a regular learners permit. It's possible that giving 14 years a license for farms was/is a thing. I found a short article from 2011 about Colorado doing that. But it'd likely only be for farmers, so John couldn't have gotten one unless he's going to claim to have gown up working on a farm now.

Sure, John. People are just clamoring to get kingmaker advice from a shaved wookie that got his flabby ass handed to him twice despite his so-called "tech connections".

Actually, this is how it still is in most states with a lot of farms:

"In Texas, as in many states, no driver’s license is required to drive farm equipment like combines and tractors, not even on public roads."

That's from an article about 9-year-old boy who drives a combine on his family's farm.

So yes, Ol' Miss'sippi John will soon be telling us about the many times that 6-year-old John Flynt, all by his lonesome,, drove Pappy's big green tractor back to the farmhouse after dropping Pa off at the Women's Health Center.

(John will probably not mention that after he got home he taught himself how to manage people by climbing on his horse, uncoiling his little bullwhip, and riding on over to the cotton fields.)

"Five times this week, men have..."

hmm, but no mention of women.
Maybe the women would pref a woman working on their campaign instead of John?
you know : The future is female. Girls rule, boys drop out before the ballot even gets set and hide by playing vidya and eating doughnuts

I think its just women are more tuned into that emotional exhaustion John's facing (may be that time the month when aunto no-flo visits for John). So instead of asking John to continue to fight the evil man-forces.
They probably said : oh honey, I'm so sorry. Get a deepfrier, we'll show up, pig out in our sweatpants.We can braid your mustache hair and watch movies you can relate to- Ms Doubtfire, Tootsie, Madea

Yeah, I knew that was true for farm equipment. What I saw about Colorado was talking about driving from home to the farm in a regular car. Basically, so the 14 year old could commute to and from work on public roads.

Vox reporters' incredible skills at fact-checking (which John can't even spell correctly) are apparently not up to the Herculean task of sussing out that John Flynt isn't a six-foot-five woman with male pattern baldness and that his entire resume is a self-contradictory collection of laughably transparent lies. I'm gonna withhold my praise until those drooling eejits latch onto those facts.

One thing I think the article may have wrongthough. a slug is a fake, like a washer or a punchout (like the discs left over from an electrical box)
Old mechanical cointakers were pretty easy to fool.

kinda makes me wonder if that may have something to do with the term - they talk about "beef or slug" - like real burger or fake burger...just musing I have no knowledge on the whys of the burger

It does remind of the Taco Hell "beef" thing a couple of years back

I looked at a couple more articles, and they generally go with the "slug = nickel" theory as to the name's origin. The official Slugburger Festival website (not updated in several years) gave several possible name origins:
For many years, slugburgers were commonly sold locally for 5 cents or a nickel. A slang expression for a nickel was a slug and hence the most common explanation for the origin of the name slugburger. Another use of the term slug derives from coins which were substitutes and many have related to slugburgers which were substitutes for real hamburgers. Yet another meaning of the term slug in the meat packing trade is for a dressed forequarter of lamb or mutton which could have possibly been used at some point in time in a meat mixture as an additional extender to the more expensive beef. If you are particularly sensitive to fried food or if you over-indulge in slugburgers, you may feel as if someone slugged you in the stomach and some residents believe this is the origin of the term slugburger.

Finally, slugburgers should be served hot and eaten immediately. If they are not and particularly in the days when they were fried in lard, a cold slugburger could bear some visual resemblance to the garden pest and hence the name.

In no article did I find any mention of the burgers having a slimy texture, instead described as crispy outside and soft inside with a bit of a grainy texture because of the extender. Regardless of the true origins of the name, John is just flat-out wrong as usual.

I always wonder if those articles are pulling from the same source, so it propagates like how Gamergaters elected Trump
Outside of burgers I've heard of slug as a bogus coin, but I can't find anything outside of burger articles that describe a nickel= slug (not saying it isn't, just saying I couldn't find any in my whole minutes of searching, but I think it makes a good test to go outside of the one context)
Weird though, looks like it can mean a dollar as well.

But maybe the burgers were so shitty that it's sort of a joke. Like this burger is the el cheapo so you don't even have to pay with real money . Like saying it's work $5oo...in monopoly money

neither here nor there, so hit me with the autism tag!

Just doing lookup b/c no work possible today : but when I looked I hit on plug nickel, I'd always heard that term, but never knew the literal basis https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/plug_nickel -- it's a wiki so grain of salt

Oh I did find this cool pic of slugs from a payphone

Check out the top ones, they have strings attached to pull them back out. You sometimes see that in old cartoons
BTW the reason the real coins are considered slugs is they are lower value foreign coins mimicking higher value US coins. The red and green things are tiddleywinks

update :
check this out. I didn't realize the phone company had special test coins with no cash value

He did grow up poor and black in a racist state where the KKK patrolled the streets. Between his shifts as shuttle commander and elite hacker he picked cotton in the fields.
