Name My Summer Speaking Tour!

This summer, I'm embarking upon what I'm rather grandiosely terming a "speaking tour"- I've been invited to give remarks at four or five Democratic Party functions all over the state and just might find myself invited to a a couple more if I hold my mouth just right...

Anyway, what's a speaking tour without an awesome name and an awesome graphic? Since the graphic will be determined by the name of the tour, that's where I need to start- and that's where I want your help!

At the top of the column to the right, you'll see a poll with potential tour names I selected out of a whole herd of suggestions submitted by my followers on Twitter. Those are the ones I liked the best, and I want your help to pick the one that I ought use.

The poll will be open for the next 7 days. I think you can vote once every single day, but I don't really emember (I don't do polls very often). But, heck, do whatever you want to game the poll. I'm a liberal, what do I care about rules? ;-)

While this doesn't matter...*I* voted for "The Talking Ass Tour." Just a teeny-tiny hint...

Why isn't "The Jackass Speaks" a potential name?

Jason said...

Because that's the one I came up with...and didn't really like it. Thus the poll. :-)

I may a little late on this, but I found a blog post at www.bringbackglam.com/journal/2009/1/16/tour-names.html.

I like the "New Tattoo Tour." Maybe you could get a new tattoo before you go? I also like "The Recession Tour" and "Just Sayin' Tour."

I understand the amusement of the Talking Ass Tour, but I think its a little inapproprate...

I must say that this is an impressive website. I love how your posts tie in with current politics so well. You seem to really love your site. Aside from my medical practice, I have a deep interest for all things related to politics. Keep up the great work and please visit by my blog sometime.

The Ass fixation on this site is a little much, Jason. Ass this, ass that. Are you deliberately trying to reduce your credibility in mainstream Kansas?

Regardless of what you call it, I think you should start each talk with: "Lynn Jenkins couldn't be here today", and then pause for laughter.

Jason said...

Holy Lord- who had any idea my readers were such tight asses! Oops, more ass fixation!

*rolls eyes*

The suggestions all came from my followers on Twitter and whatever wins will be used right here when I talk about my speaking events. And anyone who isn't trying to be dirty would understand that every single reference to "ass" here is a reference to the animal the Ass. You know, donkeys?

Are you really an idiot, or do you just play one on TV? This is a liberal blog that tells you loudly and upfront that it intends to be "irreverent."

BTW, you tool, as someone who works in the Kansas media, I can promise you this is the only one any of us ever read and certainly the only one that anyone can take seriously. Know why? Because regardless of how Croucher rights and however funny he might be, he cites everything and he doesn't lie. Sure, he's partisan, but he's honest.

If you think humor makes the site less credible, well, you're just beyond ignorant.

Miss Anonymous knows you are more than your blog, which is why I don't like any of those names you've put up on your poll. Hopefully your speaking tour will be about more than just this blog.

Jason said...

If Glenn Beck can call his comedy tour "Common Sense" and still say what he says, I can call my speaking tour literally ANYTHING and be just fine, Miss Anon. :-)

I'd say use Jackass instead of Ass. IMHO Jackass adds a little more dignity(!) to it instead of just Ass.

Oh don't worry; if it's Jason Croucher, there will be plenty of Lynn Jenkins mentions.

In fact, here's my speaking tour title suggestion

You, seriously, "Obsessed" is a pretty good name! Thanks random Lynn Jenkins staffer!

JohnnyEnnui said...

How about combining your two supposed obsessions?

"Lynn Jenkins' Ass"--some heads would explode in D.C.

I voted for "Talking Ass" because it is irreverent, sounds funny and can be construed as lightly self deprecating (which is cool for speaking tours about politics).
