The Soon-to-be Most Celebrated Event in Reddie Rants History!

Jay's note: welcome to "Paul week" here at Reddie Rants. Other than my rant, all the rants one this site will now be done by Paul. And since no one likes to hear Paul's incessant ramblings I'm hoping this will force the other ranters to write again and reclaim their spots. Otherwise we might be seeing a lot of Paul from now on.  If you are new here then go to the Archives link at the top of this site to read what the other ranters have to offer.

    My friends, the subject of interest in this rant is everybody’s favorite Ranter….. ME!  Friends, I have returned from my long sabbatical since being an active ranter with a VENGEANCE!  Allow me to give you an introduction to this most awesome of occurrences. 

Back in November, as my work with the Henderson chapter of College Republicans was picking up rapidly, as was my involvement with several other groups, and lastly, my work hours increasing, here on the Reddie Rants website our local slavemaster Jay was doing his usual worst.  With the help of a flood of guest ranters and some rather aggressive publishing policies and requests, Jay managed to convince the regular ranters that the guests were flooding up and were becoming worthy of their own spots beyond the guest spot.

Now, you might ask: Which spots would the guests take, Paul?  Well, the answer would be folks, that they would take the regular’s spots if we didn’t start writing more.  This left us regs in a bit of a quandary.  (Note for those of you in remedial English: A quandary is a difficult or unpleasant situation.  Good, now you don’t feel so retarded.)  Were we to continue in our laziness and not write, or become the “forgotten ranters” replaced by guests whose replacement was only by virtue of the fact that there were more of them rather than a few having to write more rants. 

Well, as a result, many of you regulars to the site noticed that a few of us were plowed over by guests (proving that Jay has more in common with Mao Zedong and Tiananmen Square than he is willing to admit Jay's note: or is it  MacArthur, Eisenhower, and Patton?).  And, true to his methods (and we ranters to our exhibitionist desires) , Jay achieved the desired effect and most of us soon became once again regular contributors.  However, there was one ranter who was just too freakin busy with life and various other activities to recover from his replacement.  That ranter…. was me.

Fast forward to the present.

 Here we are in 2004.  Most of the ranters have contributed a rant to the site this semester, but how will they be motivated to keep up the pace?  Why, by allowing one of the publicity hungry animals hog the whole spotlight for a while!  Thus, I have stepped forward as that greedy animal and with Jay’s blessing, let us begin the motivating!  This week (and however much longer it takes everyone else to recover from the shock and shoot me down with their own rants) I will be flooding the site with everything in my rather twisted mind!  From Butterfly Effect, to politics, to my job, and anything else I feel like talking about, it will all be coming straight from yours truly, the Coloradan Moose.  In addition to all of this, I hope to convince Jay to start a new forum on the topic of politics (reasons for this insanity will be explained in one of this week’s Paul rants).  But until that gets up, I encourage all of you conformists, non-conformists, people who agree with me, people who don’t agree with me… yada yada yada…. to post your opinions, flames of myself, flames of Jay, praise for me, whatever you want on these forums to your hearts content as they are free to you guys to use as we here at Reddie Rants (and especially myself) love both abusing and taking abuse from you folks. 

So from this day forth, let us declare this week as PAUL THE GREAT COLORADAN MOOSE…. er…. RANTER WEEK! 

Let the abuse begin.

  Paul - May he never be replaced again because of his laziness!
