Meet The Candidate at MarketFest, Thursday!

I've just heard from Philbert that he will be appearing at Thursday's MarketFest in Downtown Redding. He will be handing out leaflets and WWOD's (Waxy Weapons of Democracy or crayons for the uninitiated) which voters will then be able to utilize to write-in Our Candidate on Election Day! Isn't that super!?! He may also do some glad-handing and baby kissing. He balked at first about the glad-handing and baby kissing, because in Pomerania those terms have a completely different meaning. In Pomerania, to "Kiss The Baby" is a slang term for touching your toes as part of the state mandated daily Nude Calisthenics. "Glad-handing" means drawing lips on your thumb and forefinger to make a cheezy handpuppet to make babies laugh before you kiss them. It's so very different in foreign countries, isn't it?
I'll be there too to help answer questions about the campaign and to keep the candidate supplied with Ho-Ho's and chocolate milk. He gets cranky if his blood sugar gets too low.
So, mark your calendars and be sure to show your imaginary support for our imaginary candidate.
