GOP stands for Grand Old Party. (They like to party like it's 1899). Or maybe Party in the sense of Donner Party, where losers are dinner and winners have secrets.
Here's the contest: since Grand Old Party doesn't seem to fit what the GOP has been engaging in for the past thirty-plus years, please offer your understanding of what the letters GOP are an acronym for.
I recently changed my sig line from "GOP::Greedy One Percent" to "GOP::Gold, Oil, Pregnancies-- We Aim To Control Them All." For this contest, you are free to use tag lines, as long as the first three elements are GOP.
Contest winner: I'll use your GOP as my sig line for the next 30 days and give you credit.
Thu Nov 17, 2011 at 5:00 PM PT: Thank you all for participating in the "GOP::It's Just Old Now" name contest. The contributions were great fun to read, and they all deserve praise.
Our winner today is Azazello, and with Azazello's expressed permission, I would like to make those 2 GOPs my sig line, along with proper credit, for one month.
I hope we all continue in our quest to find out what the GOP stands for these days; and I hope we share our inspirations with each other.
Thank you!
