“We’re everywhere from kosher chili cook-offs to NASCAR!”

Oh, my. The Mainstream Media in Texas cannot stop making petition-gatherers Carole Four Names and Kinky Friedman their darlings:

This article from KXAN-TV Austin makes it sound like people are running around Wal-Mart parking lots asking everyone they see if they are gathering signatures for Kinky or Carole. And, with statements like the one OTG made that is the headline for this post, I’m wondering if they’re also staking out public bathrooms, high school baseball games, and yard sales.

Maybe we need to check bathroom stalls to make sure there aren’t any petition gatherers hiding in them…I mean, there are only so many Kosher chili cook-offs in Texas, right?

Which got me to thinking: There are a lot of opportunities for signature gathering these campaigns haven’t even thought of yet:

What about hospital emergency rooms? I’ll bet Carole and Kinky haven’t tried gathering signatures there. Maybe they should send people to Parkland in Dallas and Herman in Houston. Very captive audiences in those waiting rooms, that’s for sure.

Or, better yet, car washes! Everyone’s at the self-serve car wash on a sunny Saturday. Maybe they should send petition gatherers there, too. I mean, heck, they’re already going door to door so they might as well invade every aspect of voters’ personal lives.

Ohh….I forgot laundarymats! Send gatherers there! Lots of people use laundrymats.

And Country Clubs…golf courses…bars…sporting good stores…convinence stores…funeral homes (very captive audiences there)…cemetery association picnics…Sears…J.C. Penny…if Montgomery Ward were still around, that’d be a good place…ohhh, and how about….(Add your zany location in the comments)…
