Yes, time again for some random meme off the Internet. Lifted from demiurgent and prodded be semiapies, I suppose I had to do it.

Rules are as follows:

The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Using your favorite graphics program combine these three elements to design your album cover and post the result.

General Foods International is a post-punk pseudo-punk band from Nebraska who, like many young kids who don’t know how good they really have it, have taken up musical arms against “big industry and the government” along with a postured nihilistic philosophy that suggests that if they get stomped into the dirt by their enemies it doesn’t really matter anyway, so who cares, right? Musically, they’ve fused Seattle grunge with German noise-metal, producing an unlistenable melange of clanks and screams which is mainly good for scaring crows off the corn fields back home.

Thanks to matraia for pointing me to the VoteMatch quiz above, which goes into a lot more detail about the candidates, but that said …

Freakin’ John Cox? As one might reasonably ask, “Who th’Hell?” Followed by Duncan Hunter for another complete unknown, and then we get down to Huliani and Thompson. The short version being, “Hey, Alex, you might as well go into Terrorism Consulting, because you’re sure as Hell not going to see a candidate that sees things your way, ever.

The really ironic thing is the complete disparity between the match on social issues and economic ones between my most matching candidates. Which suggests to me that there’s probably a political niche to be exploited for the actively socially liberal and tightly fiscally conservative that’s being almost completely unserved.

Sigh. Formenting violent revolution is probably more likely to achieve success than actual reasoned debate at this point. And I’m too lazy to be a revolutionary, it’s very sad.

Mitt Romney. No shit? Romney is a minarchist, isolationist libertarian with a penchant for social liberalism and fiscal conservatism? And Huckabee fits that pattern closer than Ron Paul?

This is your brain. This is your brain looking mildly confused.

I Am A: Chaotic Evil Elf Sorcerer (5th Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength-10
Dexterity-13
Constitution-9
Intelligence-16
Wisdom-20
Charisma-15

Alignment:
Chaotic Evil A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. Chaotic evil is sometimes called demonic because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is the best alignment you can be because combines self-interest and pure freedom. However, chaotic evil can be a dangerous alignment because it represents the destruction not only of beauty and life but also of the order on which beauty and life depend.

Race:
Elves are known for their poetry, song, and magical arts, but when danger threatens they show great skill with weapons and strategy. Elves can live to be over 700 years old and, by human standards, are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. Elves are slim and stand 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall. They have no facial or body hair, prefer comfortable clothes, and possess unearthly grace. Many others races find them hauntingly beautiful.

Class:
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.
