Way to light the SIV signal.*

*The SIV signal is a model from the seventies wearing her foundation garments.

[Citizen X]

I thought it was a rooster being murdered by another rooster.

[Slammer]

I thought it was models in their seventies

I think on these days when the staff is just getting drunk on walking around a convention, they should hand over the site to some of the regulars to post their own writings on any topic.

[Dennis, Constitutional Peasant]

That would result in 200 pages of Abortion-related essays from Eddie

[straffinrun]

No

[straffinrun]

it

[straffinrun]

wouldn't.

[Trials and Trippelations]

No it would be SF writings complete with illustrations

[Hyperion's Post Brexit Moment]

You crazies will embarrass us with the cool kids and get us uninvited to cocktail parties!

[Dennis, Constitutional Peasant]

I'm actually more interested in tuning in for "Nick & Matt @ The Democrat Convention"

I think questions like, "What does Hillary offer libertarian voters?" might really produce some epic quotes.

As for Gary, what's he doing @ the GOP convention anyway? i thought his plan was to try and milk votes from Team Bleu. He's there to use his old GOP credentials to mooch free drinks? Does he plan to make a scene and try and get on the news? (hope hope hope)

[Citizen X]

Does he plan to make a scene and try and get on the news?

That's really more Jill Stein's thing.

[mashed potatoes]

Nick to Random Dem Attendee: "What does Hillary offer libertarian voters?"

Random Dem Attendee: "Fuck Libertarians, those Fascists!!!"

[Hyperion's Post Brexit Moment]

Hillary is for roads and bridges and against orphan slavery! Can I get some muscle over here?

[You Sound Like a Prog (MJG)]

"Free college."

[Citizen X]

Libertarians want to FORCE other people to not oppress them, which is the most oppressive thing of all, somehow!

Oddly, John has made this exact same argument.

[SugarFree]

And Tony. They have merged.

[Citizen X]

It is truly an age of wonders.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

If you go far enough around, you come out the other side.

[Derp-o-Matic 5000]

Does he plan to make a scene and try and get on the news? (hope hope hope)

I'd like to see a series of video clips in which he kicks each of the presidential-candidate-turned-Trump-supporters in the nuts.

[Glide]

Did you bring any moms of heroin addicts to ask him why he's in favor of adding heroin to all drinking water? Just to make him feel like he's on CNN.

[Hyperion's Post Brexit Moment]

he's in favor of adding heroin to all drinking water

That's the most sensible idea a politician has come up with in like 100 years. Maybe I'm going to reconsider voting for Gary.

[Hyperion's Post Brexit Moment]

Is Gary going to do a bong before 3pm? Maybe 2... no, 3 bongs. Because if not, I ain't watchin, he boring!

[SugarFree]

"How many bongs did you inject today?"

[Derp-o-Matic 5000]

Gary is above injecting bongs, he butt-chugs them.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Butt chugging is for amateurs. He soaks his tampons in bong water and hash oil.

[Hyperion's Post Brexit Moment]

I done injected all the pots before most people even knew what the devil's weed is. That's why all the pots you see today is those fake artificial pots.

[Derp-o-Matic 5000]

Wait, GayJ's at the RNC? Maybe he's there to convince people that Hillary isn't so bad.

[Suthenboy]

"No, Americans do not face a "binary choice" between Trump and Clinton."

That is very true. They can write me in.

*I stand a better chance and I won't pick a gun-grabber for VP

[Fist of Etiquette]

Start with asking why he's at the Republican National Convention in the first place.

[Dennis, Constitutional Peasant]

Hey man, its politics. You stand wherever the cameras are pointed.

[Fist of Etiquette]

You know who else railed and ranted in front of a television camera?

[Crusty Juggler]

George Wallace?

[Citizen X]

R. Budd Dwyer?

[Fist of Etiquette]

I knew this would be a guess.

[Citizen X]

Hey man, nice shot.

[Libertarian]

I want him to answer how he's going to get into the debates when THE GODDAM NETWORKS KEEP SHOWING VOTE PERCENTAGES FOR TRUMP AND CLINTON THAT ADD UP TO ONLY 80%. To get into the debates, he needs 15%, but to get to 15% the average American voter needs to know that he exists.

[GeorgeGraybeal]

Start working at home with Google! It's by-far the best job I've had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go to tech tab for work detail.

I guess cops in khakis is better than biker shorts, but can they not get some khaki accessories, too?

[Fist of Etiquette]

I choose to think of those as matching suspenders instead of credential lanyards.

[Fist of Etiquette]

THIS JUST IN: STONER CANDIDATE LATE FOR APPOINTMENT

[SIV]

Why do you think they call it dope?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Blue jeans. I'm not voting for denim.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Goddamnit. If you want to wear creased pants, WEAR DRESS SLACKS.

[Brett L]

Unless you're an old guy who wears Western shirts and cowboy boots unironically.

[Crusty Juggler]

He has that dorky English professor look down pat.

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

If he were a professor, he'd crush box, no doubt.

[waffles]

Whoever was holding the camera stuck a finger in front of GayJay when he entered the frame.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Reason can't afford more than one mic.

[Crusty Juggler]

Soave's hair care budget is sucking them dry.

[waffles]

Gary getting flack for wearing creased jeans from a guy who thinks bow ties are just fine.

[Crusty Juggler]

Gillespie tapped into his inner Gilmore.*

*Sadly, we all have some Gilmore inside of us.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Gilmore is no longer with us.

[Crusty Juggler]

I didn't call Cassius Clay Mohammad Ali, and there is no way I am going to start calling Gilmore whatever he wants to be called.

[SugarFree]

Please be respectful during his time of transition.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Only a fool builds a brand and then abandons it. Or cuts his wiener off.

[You Sound Like a Prog (MJG)]

The brand is in the random injections of = signs.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

You know who else transitioned?

[SugarFree]

Winston's mom?

[Citizen X]

Winston's dad?

[SugarFree]

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

[waffles]

I'm a libertarian because I want to keep government out of my meth pipe, my wallet, and my bedroom.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

And the first two things are in your bedroom.

[SugarFree]

Seriously, where is SIV? This is like the butthurt Olympics and he's missing it.

[Citizen X]

He had an emergency cockfight to go to, and "cockfight" means exactly whatever you think it means.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Oh, here we go, the proud display of the "I've never registered with a party" badge.

[waffles]

That's dumb. I've registered with every party. As a panpolitical I want to get fucked by everybody.

[Crusty Juggler]

"Jean Quips, with Nick Gillespie."

[Fist of Etiquette]

HE LOVES FOREIGN WARS AND PROHIBITION.

[Ken Shultz]

Somebody ask Johnson if he has any weed or if he knows where you can score.

[Get To Da Chippah]

"You own an edibles company"

What Gary should have said:

"That's still not necessarily endorsement. I don't run around telling people they ought to eat pot candy, I just provide a product for those who choose to buy it."

[Fist of Etiquette]

Ha, good personal friend. THAT'S A DIG.

[Crusty Juggler]

He did not deny it. Gary should have punched him in the dick.

[Crusty Juggler]

Someone is going to lose an eye.

[Brett L]

Oh man, now all the vultures are swarming.

[waffles]

Whoa. way more people view and comment on reason articles via facebook than here. We are going the way of the dodo. But why the fuck would I want to use my real name to discuss politics?

[Citizen X]

Reason's Facebook comments are... interesting, if you think it's interesting when every commenter is John.

[RBS]

Or Tony.

[SugarFree]

Matt should challenge Johnson to a dance off.

[SugarFree]

Stoner candidate loses phone.

[Crusty Juggler]

DO YOU EVEN SQUAT?

[SugarFree]

Uh-oh. There's one of those guys in the background wearing one of those hats the only libertarians and autistics wear.

[Dennis, Constitutional Peasant]

one of those hats the only libertarians and autistics wear

One of these?

[SugarFree]

It's the unholy love child of a cowboy hat and a fedora.

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

And, now that I've seen him, I can't stop laughing.

[SugarFree]

They always loom.

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

We all loom down here....

[Brett L]

Its a drover hat!

[Inigo Montoya]

That's Jayne Cobb! As in The Ballad of Jayne:

Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin' /
He saw the mudders' lament /
And he saw the magistrate takin'/
Every dollar and leavin' five cents /
So he said "you can't do that to my people" /
He said "you can't crush them under your heel" /
So Jayne strapped on his hat /
And in 5 seconds flat /
Stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal!

[Crusty Juggler]

I thought Gary did well, especially considering the environment. I hope they found his phone, or figured out who stole it (seriously, the fuck?), and I think Reason needs a pledge drive so they can buy another microphone.

[jack sprat]

Tell me I imagined the whole losing his phone thing.....smh.

[colorblindkid]

Unfortunately not. I thought he was doing okay until he lost his damn phone. He also needs to learn some more talking points and witty expressions. It might work with other media outlets, but it doesn't really fly for Reason, if he even knows what Reason magazine is.

[Inigo Montoya]

You know your crappy party is in serious trouble when a rival candidate shows up and draws more enthusiastic/positive attention from run of the mill convention goers than any of the stuffed shirt has-beens who are delivering their pompous speeches inside.

I just hope Johnson also shows up at Hitlarious' upcoming shindig and does the same thing, especially among all the young people she and her wild-haired septuagenarian socialist boy-toy so recently berned.

[Stilgar]

Dear Reason Staff - many of your readers are not on Facebook because we wish to avoid the corporate spyathon. Likewise, many do not use Flash any more because of the endless stream of exploits against it. Please get with the program.

[SIV]

What'd I miss?

[colorblindkid]

He actually had me sold that he would be able to take on Hillary and Trump until he found out his phone was gone. It was like trying to talk to a teenager. siiiggh.
