Breakfast parties

Rarely have I been to a party where the number of guys seriously outnumbers the number of girls present. Usually it's the other way around. I know the term for the former is "sausage fest" but what's the phrase for the latter? I propose "egg fest" (get it?) but Urban Dictionary came to the rescue. Ugh, the term I found there isn't as clever as mine.

Vote today if you're in a Super Tuesday state! I'm not sure why Edwards and Kucinich are still on the ballot. I didn't get an I Voted! sticker. What's the point in voting if no one knows? Kidding. No matter, I blab enough about voting to everyone I know, sticker or no sticker.

Spell check is messed up. If there are any typos, please excuse.

You use a paper ballot? Our machine looks ancient. You slide a big lever over, flip down switches next to your choices, and then slide the big lever back. It feels fake, but whatever. Yeah, some of those workers aren't really with it. At least I never have had to wait in line here.

alabama used to have those old lever machines...i remember going with mom to vote when i was little. but now we use paper ballots like a scantron. you bubble in the name and then put it in a machine and it takes the ballot, reads it, and then keeps it locked inside. did you ever vote in georgia?

No, I was never a GA resident. Voted absentee in college though.
