Batboy greets Wordforge. Batboy apologizes for Batboy's absence, but Batboy's Resistance Cell has been quite occupied recently. As Wordforge may know, Batboy believes that the best way to thwart the nefarious plots of the Twin Acorns of the Apocalypse is often to simply pit one against the other and watch the ensuing fireworks. Unfortunately, this strategy has proven problematic of late. The Left Acorn has been unusually stubborn, and the Right Acorn has been unusually inept. Batboy spent the last several months on a plan Batboy thought would be fool-proof. Batboy knows from past experience that Massholes are particularly vulnerable to suggestion. Accordingly, Batboy seeded pictures of Tom Brady and various bits of Larry Bird/Curt Shilling slash porn with subliminal messages that Batboy thought would result in much-desired gridlock. Batboy's plan was partly successful. Unfortunately, while Batboy's plan succeeded, the Acorns did not react as Batboy hoped. Stupid Acorns.... Batboy believes, however, that Batboy has now come up with a plan that will work. Inspired by Geordi LaForge, Batboy has been working with the nice people at Facebook.com to create a seemingly innocuous program that will bring the Acorns to the Acorns' knees. Batboy and Batboy's development team are about to roll out Congressville! Batboy's program will allow users to run a virtual legislature. Users will be able to craft virtual legislation, spend virtual taxpayer money on virtual pork, ignore and/or insult virtual constituents, smear virtual opponents, and generally cause all sorts of virtual mayhem. Batboy plans to install Batboy's program on all operational PCs in Washington DC. Unfortunately, Batboy has not developed a Mac version of Batboy's program. Batboy believes that Batboy's program will keep the Acorns contained to the world of cyberspace, where the Acorns can, hopefully, cause less damage. Batboy would appreciate any input Wordforge can offer on Batboy's plan, including suggestions for features that would result in maximum addiction. Batboy thanks Wordforge for Wordforge's assistance.
Cool, we were just talking about you, wondering where you were and what you've been up to. Good luck with Congressville; it's too bad we can't find a simulation where we could starve our own reps and watch them suffer in RL. One area in particular in which the internet has lagged society is in useful information imparted to voters about the sumbitches that represent their districts. But most of those representatives want the water as muddy as possible so nobody can see what votes they were in favor of before they voted against it.
"Twin Acorns of the Apocalypse"? I say a well motivated, highly trained, and heavily armed crack team of squirrel comandos.... ....with little bitty, squirrel sized Gurka knives.
One assumes that Batboy is aware of the latest intel indicating that the Congressional showers do not have curtains? It can only be assumed that this feature alone would ensnare many of the more problematic of your targets.
