Yes.

God doesn't make bad puppies or people that can't laugh.

This.

Oh, unless chinless people are unable to laugh physically. If that was true, would that be considered a weapon? What would we call this weapon?

Ya, that wasn't directed at you, I promise. It was mostly directed at my three brothers who no-showed or canceled five minutes before we were supposed to start.

Yeah, I know. I promise. How's the ladder?
 
We need an update fishass. How are the numbers coming in?
 
What's funny is that I have almost the identical chin as that 'girl' -- I don't know if that's why you posted the picture, but it's pretty spot-on. I still laughed.

As for results, I haven't found any yet.
 
First round of reporting:

Council, District 3

Dave Ballou 130

Jerry W. Rechtenbach (i) 241

I'm slightly bummed, I thought it would be closer than this.
 
You gotta get your feet wet somewhere. You will do better in your next run.
 
64% reporting:

DAVE BALLOU 230 36.51%
JERRY W. RECHTENBACH 397 63.02%
Write-in Votes 3 0.48%

It's about time to make the dreaded phone call to congratulate... Blech.

Too bad, but I agree, you'll do better next time.
 
The fact that you even ran is cool in my book. Next time, just remember to throw in some 9/11 was an inside job references and put a couple pyramids on your signs or something. People love that ****.
 
Well, unofficially it's over. Phew.

DAVE BALLOU 230 36.51%
JERRY W. RECHTENBACH 397 63.02%

To say the least, I'm disappointed, but I guess I can feel good that a third of the city thinks I'm a bad ***.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped out:

Gameface
Salty
YB
SimpleTool
SalmonKEKScerpioNJBum
Sir Tink's A Lot
Moe
JazzFanatic
(someone I probably forgot your name -- please don't feel bad)

And to everyone who gave me positive vibes and support via this website and via email/texts -- I love you guys. I really mean it, you're all solid.
 
Hold the phone... I'm not as big a loser as I thought.

DAVE BALLOU 304 39.28%
JERRY W. RECHTENBACH 466 60.21%

That's still pretty crappy, and worse than I thought I'd do, but it's better than it was.

What a travesty that only 14.7% of the registered voters turned out for this election. What a failure on our parts.
 
Really a good showing against the incumbent. You got this next time. Plus I intend to come forward about Rechtenback sexually harrassing me 15 years ago. I liked it, but I just want to help him by giving him a chance to come clean in public you know.
 
Sorry you didn't win, Dave - wish I could have voted. Nice showing though, and props for the attempt. Are you going to try again in the future? I admire anyone with the guts to want to get involved in government.

Voter turnout was pretty terrible here - I voted at noon and was the 6th person in the 3 districts at my location. We get the government we deserve.

On a happy note, however, my drunk wife-beating law-breaking neighbor did not win a city council seat tonight. Thank you God.

Edit: Just reading up and realized that it never crossed my pea-picking mind to donate to your campaign. I suck as a friend. SORRY!
