A Shiny Object for Bernie Sanders

[MineralMan]

Everyone needs one.

[Scootaloo]

1. Mediocre!

To ride the highways of Valhalla, it must be SHINY AND CHROME!

[MineralMan]

4. That's just, like, weird, dude!

I don't think that's official from the campaign, probably.

[Scootaloo]

9. Nope, it's from PAX Prime. or Comicon. I forget which.

[think]

11. What's weird is you making fun of electric cars.

[MineralMan]

25. Actually, I'm not making fun of electric cars

at all. I'd have posted the same thing, regardless of the car. I think you may have missed my point here.

[think]

28. What is your point?

[MineralMan]

29. "Shiny Objects" Is my Point.

Thanks for asking.

[think]

30. Have fun with that...

[MineralMan]

31. Thanks.

[think]

32. Anything for a former Bernie supporter....

[daleanime]

33. I'm not sure....

but I don't think the car is from the campaign either.

[MineralMan]

2. To be fair, here's Martin O'Malley's shiny object:

[Sounding]

3. A sign of belief in Climate Change

These are the vehicles (Electric) which needs to flood the roads and reduce the power of the oil lobbyists in Washington.

[MineralMan]

7. I don't know about you, but I can't afford that.

I have to make do with a cheap car with good mileage. No electric vehicles that fit my budget.

[Ed Suspicious]

16. Unit cost decreases as more hit the road.

[MineralMan]

18. Not enough, they don't.

That's not to say that there might not be an electric car in the same price range as the lowest priced new cars on the market, but I'm not seeing it coming soon. So far, the cheapest practical one I've found costs twice as much as my KIA Soul and has a very limited range. I'll keep watching.

[JaneyVee]

5. $110,000.

[MineralMan]

10. That's why it's shiny, I guess.

Way, way out of my price range. My lowly Kia Soul was just $14,000. I just made the 37th payment yesterday.

[think]

6. Too bad Hillary's is Goldman Sachs

[Live and Learn]

8. Are you being sexist now? Or does that only apply to Bernie supporters? nt

[MineralMan]

12. Cars have gender?

I hadn't noticed. Now, if I had posted the shirtless photo of O'Malley, that might be sexist, but I didn't.

[dorkzilla]

13. Trey Gowdy is also a shiny object, but no one wants him. nt

[MineralMan]

15. Only when he's coated with flop sweat.

Uff da!

[pinebox]

14. Hey I'll take a Tesla

any damn day!

[MineralMan]

17. I can't afford one. Owning a Tesla is

about as likely for me as a date with Katy Perry. That's OK, though.

[pinebox]

21. Save your pennies

because ina few years time, before you know it you can. All that money being spent on gas, yup....right into the Tesla slush fund.

[MineralMan]

27. I think the cars I own right now will last until

I decide not to drive. My wife and I put only about 5000 miles a year on them together. One now has 21,000 miles on it and the other just 40,000 miles. They ought to be good for some time to come. The Soul gets 35 mpg on the highway, consistently, so that one goes on any trips we take. The other care, a 2007 PT Cruiser, with 40K on the odometer is our winter beater and has the only trailer hitch of the two, so it tows the utility trailer when needed.

We don't drive a lot, and most of it is just local.

I doubt I'll ever own an electric car, unless it's one of those golf cart things after I finally retire, if ever.

[Vinca]

19. If you were considering a career as a comedy writer . . . don't.

[MineralMan]

23. I wasn't, actually.

But thanks for the advice.

[mmonk]

20. Hillary has her blue car too.

[MineralMan]

26. Hillary owns a Rolls? I hadn't heard that.

I did a Google search, but found nothing. Are you sure?

[mmonk]

42. .

I should have said supporter car.

[MineralMan]

43. There's a guy in the next block over from my house

who owns an older Bentley. I live in a working class neighborhood. I think he's an idiot for buying such a car. When it has a problem, parts are hard to find and expensive. Used luxury cars are a very bad bargain.

[whatchamacallit]

22. Did you study comedy under Dennis Miller?

[MineralMan]

24. I didn't study comedy at all.

I've never met Dennis Miller.

[Joe Turner]

34. Is there a joke somewhere here?

Is it Bernie likes energy efficient cars? MineralMan funny guy.

[MineralMan]

37. There may be a connection you missed.

I'm actually a very funny fella. I make people laugh. I amuse them.

[Joe Turner]

41. What's that saying?

If you have to explain a joke it's not funny. Well at least you are confident in your comic abilities.

[whatchamacallit]

44. Well... you've certainly made me laugh

tho I suspect it wasn't your intention.

[MineralMan]

45. Laugh...Cry...Rage

Do as you please. I don't really care all that much.

[bunnies]

35. Bernie doesnt own that car.

You know that, right?

[MineralMan]

36. Yah, and Hillary doesn't own Katy Perry,

Either. You've missed an allusion here. That's OK.

[bunnies]

38. Oh. I havent clicked on any of those threads.

Guess Im not missing much.

[MineralMan]

39. Well, you sorta missed the point of my post,

though. That's OK.

[bunnies]

40. True enough.

I was more referring to the content of the Katy Perry posts. But yeah, I definitely missed your point.
