I give almost no thought to my state representative, Gary Moore. I can’t hardly remember his name half the time, just that he’s the fireman with the mustache. So, I’m completely screwed if Cobb or Turner ever grow mustaches. I’ll have no fucking idea who represents me, I mean, even worse that it is currently. And I also can’t remember who the fuck Moore is because he never comes on my radar for doing stupid shit. His bills are all “Let’s honor this person. Let’s keep these firefighters from getting dicked around. Should we have some background checks on these people? I say yes.”
He may be up to nefarious nonsense once you get down to the details of it, so don’t think I’m endorsing him or anything. I’m just saying, to me, he seems like a fine representative. I’ll hold his SJR127 vote against him, but I’m unreasonable that way. Otherwise, I’ve got no complaints.
I also can’t remember his name, either so… take that for what it’s worth.
But anyway, so you may remember how there was the push to allow guns in some of the rural parks and one of the rural parks was over on Morgan Road, which is just up the ridge from me? And how I went over there and discovered that it’s not even a motherfucking park? Even if you could carry guns in rural parks, you cannot carry a gun there because, if you’re there, you’re trespassing.
Well, this afternoon, I’m up at the grocery store and I’m checking out and I look straight ahead and there, on the bulletin board is a note from Representative Moore saying that people have been asking him about what’s up with the Morgan Road property and so he had some plans pulled together and he’s posting them around the district so that everyone can see.
How fucking nice is that?
I don’t know why this discovery requires so much cussing, but I swear, I saw that and I was just like “Fuck yeah, what a good idea.” And then I thought, “shoot, if he’s going to be doing cool shit like this, I need to remember his name.”
So, that’s my goal–committing Gary Moore’s name to memory. Also, trying to remember what he looks like so I can say “Hello” if I ever see him at Dairy Queen.

[...] Betsy @ Tiny Cat Pants is pretty pleased with her State Rep., even though she can’t remember his name half the time, or what he looks like other than a mustache. Here’s a picture to help you remember. Make it the background image on your computer or something. Burn this image into your mind. Say his name over and over again to yourself while you look at his picture. Make his legislative page your browser homepage. You must remember…you must remember… [...]

Can you nickname him Dinty? That would make him very easy to remember.
Please, I don’t need him egging my house!
You are younger than I am, that’s for sure. No one my age can forget Garry (with two rs) Moore, the game-show and talk-show host on TV. Just take out one r and there you are.
nm, you read my mind — but also, who was the announcer on Laugh In? b/c that’s how I’m picturing this character.
I was at the DCDP legislative breakfast this morning, where Rep. Moore made an appearance. In addition to cracking a joke about how a certain Tiny Cat Pants reader is trained in CPR should the party need it, Rep. Moore also made a point to note that the party is out there “recruiting good candidates … We’re going to kick ass.”
Apparently the Republicans are on to how awesome your current (and my former) state rep is, because they’re running someone also named Gary Moore against him. I’ve yet to be able to verify this, however.
Nah, Beth, that was Gary Owens.
Samantha, that’s funny.
oops, well, I knew it was Gary something-or-another. :-)
