Would anyone be interested in helping me set up an Emphatically Silly Party? I know a lot of the people here are very sensible, but if you would like to look on the light side of life and join a party like this please help me!!

If you include something about ewoks and hamsters in the manifesto, I may join. I don't think my idea, the 'ewok raving hamster party' (surrepticiously "borrowed" from another forum) will make it off the ground.

ill try to but it just thinking of the right way to work it in

Would you have terror goldfish?

ill try to but it just thinking of the right way to work it in
what does the manifesto consist of so far? You could go one of two ways - you could be the Emphatically Silly party, the party for lunacy and general laughter, or you could be the Emphatically Sill party, the really ironic conglomerate of officious beraucracy who are strongly authoritarian.

I prefer the first one, incidentally. Anything that introduces complete randomness to a thread is a good thing ;)

Um i think the first one would be better. The second scares me and sounds too much like the real world. Don't wanna go back there........

The Manifesto so far (please edit it or even rewrite it if you have a better idea/s)

The Emphatically Silly Party Manifesto

1. We, the Emphatically Silly Party, are committed to enhancing all aspects of life by putting a greater emphasis on fun, laughter, jolity and general silliness in the world.
2. As such, we support quirky and generally silly actions performed by anyone.
3. We may not vote for something if we feel it stifles the air of fun in a room
4. We reserve the right to mock anyone who is attemptng to be srious
5. We resent people telling us to "grow up."

These are a few ideas please give me more

if we are elected, randomness will be compulsory in day to day living

I would like to join this seriously ambitious organisation ;)

agreed

if we are elected, randomness will be compulsory in day to day living

Don't make it compulsory, but only quite likely to happen, since that would even be more random :D

if you would like to join please sign up then.

Carops
The Blaatschapen
Tribes of Longton
Siull
Monotonous
there's more but i dont remember mush these days... must be the hips...
Tiauha? Tribes of Longton? can i count you in too?

I don't think people should sign up to join, they should make a joke(or sarcasm, or at least something funny) in this thread and stating that they would like to join.

good idea . would anyone like to write up a manifesto featuring all the points mentioned? if not, ill do it....

Another point we should have in the manifesto is to have a ministry of silly walks :)

And a state sponsored tv station with only Monthy Python and other quality humour series :)

okay i ll add it. By the way everyone , we meet the criteria to stand in the next election, which would be groovy. so ill write up the manifesto now

so far....


The Manifesto of the Emphatically Silly Party (ESP)

1. We, the emphatically silly party, are committed to enhancing all aspects of life by putting a greater emphasis on fun, laughter, jollity and general silliness in the world.
2. As such, we support quirky and generally silly actions performed by anyone
3. We do not agree with ideas that stifle the air of fun in society or pang of overbearing seriousness.
4. We therefore reserve the right to mock those who are serious, and mock them we shall.
5. If elected, we would strongly encourage random acts of randomness, and silly acts of silliness, perhaps awarding some sort of award for particularly silly or random actions.
6. We would institute and state television network with the prime slots on this network going to Monty Python re-runs with the rest occupied by other similarly humoured programming. There would be no news, as this is generally serious.
7. We would institute a breeding program of terror goldfish.
8. We would make ewoks a protected species and encourage people to worship them
9. Hamsters would no longer live as household pets, as they will be appointed to high-ranking positions in the civil service.
10. We would scorn anyone who told us to “grow up.”
11. We would sarcasm an Olympic event
12. We would found a ministry of silly walks, which would receive 25% of all government funding.
13. We would ban animals from going outside without clothes on.

A joke? But my sense of humour only extends to laughing at other people's rathe r than making them up

Anyway, yes, I want to join. After all life is too short to be serious all the time.

I'm in. Could we have a random possible ban on a certain number each day? Today, no-one can write the number 54.342, lest they be subjected to some of my torture haikus.

Cool :D

hello yes im back good idea ill add it

Also, everyone who makes the 358th post in a thread should get a forumban of exactly 7.2483 seconds :)

Did the rest of the party laugh itself to death, or what? :p

I like this party. It sounds like a proper party - one with beer and drug death and things, not a political one.

I shall support it if the party declares all posters to dress as clowns while posting. Except for those who voted for us. It's not a silly enough garb.

And we must make our leaders be sentient cookies.

We shall arbitrate all party disputes with Roshambo contests. :D

I shall be Minister of Roshambo.

I shall support it if the party declares all posters to dress as clowns while posting. Except for those who voted for us. It's not a silly enough garb.

And we must make our leaders be sentient cookies.

I don't make it a habit of dressing as a clown when posting, but I've done it from time to time. :)

4. We reserve the right to mock anyone who is attemptng to be srious
I reserve the right to mock anyone who can't spell above a 3rd grade level. :p

Should we emphasize Internet domination?

so... thought Id resurrect this thread...

15. Thieves would be forced to serve us food in revealing outfits.

Is it too late to join the...erm, rather short list of members?
I approve of the Ministry of Silly Walks...maybe it should make one of its priorities to be funding a silly walk expedition to ascend the twin peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro?

So the options are Communism or Silly-ism. Could someone tell me the difference? Proportional Representation is a great system. Look what it did for the Nazis!

I don't think LG knows the meaning of 'elaborate joke'. His are generally direct and to the point with as much immaturity as possible...I like it :p

I want to join. But could we have a National Silly Day. And we could select a colour for each day and if seen wearing that colour you would have to perform the Can-Can in the middle of the town, dressed in a clown outfit and flanked by two elephants farting fire.

The national motto would be "I am Brian and so is my wife!"

And all sensibleness would be immediately outlawed.

Seeing as how we are now standing in the NS election, don't we need a slogan to get people to vote for us? How about "Vote for silliness, you know it makes sense!"

Sounds good to me... btw, whens the election?

So what do you wear down there...? :confused:

Strategically placed postage stamps. Wanna help me lick em? :D

Absolutely.
The Liberty Bell must be the Party/National Anthem, There must be a Ministry Of Silly Walks with development grants, and every pet shop must have a Norweigan Blue Parrot, preferable dead or at least pining for the fjords.

Well, apart from the "Vote for silliness, you know it makes sense", how about "Are you thinking what we're thinking? Custard Pies!!!"

"Vote ESP because the communists will murder your household pets"
"Vote ESP. Oh go on. Please? You know you want to.."
"This party thinks you are so wonderful that we'd like to give you some advice friendly advice. We promise it'll serve you well. Vote ESP."
"Vote ESP for never-ending summers and love shacks!"

"ESP - we know what your thinking"

That slogan beneath a picture of an angry keep left sign guessing correctly what is on one of those ESP testing cards. One like these:

Such emphatic speeches will renew the vigour of the ESP party's members, leading to...

*'splodes*

...greater strength in numbers and...

greater resolve to really get things done. Todays post was brought to you by the letters h and j, and the number 5.

I think we need to work on some of our random propaganda again! I've posted my Hamster Attacking Metropolis (2005) and someone else (lemme check) posted them aiming at a kitten (although a kitten holding a pistol at, I dunno, society would be cooler but hey, I aint that talented), so get propaganderisatoringer!

The path to sillyness leads through insanity and to a place far, far more extreme. Come, my brother (I assume), join me in drinking printer ink and eating the flesh of the tapir!

*dances around a small, burning mud hut*

May I join your merry band? You have sillyness, but do you have pure insanity? :D
Of course you may...but you shall have to go through some, erm, interesting initiation rites first...We just need to think of something here...
Anyway...propaganda...hmmm...give me a little time.

I second that question. I also wonder if you've got a problem schizotypical, paranoid or histronic people. Or compulsive liars :p

No, seriously, I'm not a compulsive liar. Or am I...

I have nothing but time, in fact I am time itself.
Then you are welcome - of course, we need the mandatory random act of silliness...
