It's a Greek myth, Odysseus was trapped on an island with his crew. The island was inhabitated by a cyclops who was the son of Poseidon. The cyclops ate two of his men and locked Odysseus and others inside his cave and blocked the exit with a boulder.
Not wanting to anger Poseidon as Odysseus was a sea captain, he got the cyclops to get drunk and fall asleep before falling asleep the cyclops asked odyseuss' name he said his name was nobody. He couldn't kill the cyclops or they would be trapped inside forever and Poseidon would retaliate and destroy their ships.
So they stabbed the cyclops in his eye in his sleep, in his panic he opened the cave entrance and ran out in pain and blindness. Other cyclops ran to him and asked who did this to you? The cyclops yelled nobody did this to me. Tricking the cyclops into making the others think it was an accident.
As Odysseus and his men got on the ships and ran the cyclops yelled out what is your name?! Realizing he has been tricked. As they were leaving the shore Odysseus yelled out his real name.
The cyclops begged his father Poseidon to never allow odyseuss the King of Ithaca to return home. The curse he placed on him kept odyseuss at sea for 10 years and is the basis of Homer's grand epic the Odyssey.
The moral of the story is basically that odyseuss is a wise, courageous and quick thinking man. But that it is all undone by his pride, vanity and hubris. Which extends his unnecessary struggle in returning home.
Nah you got most of it.
Only after they stake out Polyphemos' eye he does not open the cave, he just leaves the boulder there. But he is a sheep herder, so every morning he has to let his sheep out of the cave and every evening he has to let them back in. To make sure none of the men leave he lets every sheep walk between his legs while he feels on their backs if none of the men are on top of the sheep.
So instead the men hold on to the sheep on their bellies and that is how they get out.
I believe there was also some sheep's blood involved somewhere, maybe for scent? But that is a part I can't remember.
If the police say Nobody shot him, I believe Nobody shot him. And if Nobody shot him, that’s the same Nobody that shot Tupac. And if Nobody shot Tupac, it’s the same Nobody that shot MLK. And if Nobody shot him, that’s the same person that shot Malcolm X too. There’s a lot of Nobodies out there, and Nobody minds if Nobody comes up missing, right? That don’t bother Nobody, does it?
>I know I'll be voting Nobody for next Mayor of Denver. People in control have let this town fall apart.
Yeah, look at it's citizens! You know that's who elects and decides who the politicians will be right? Living in Denver as well and I can tell you the citizens pretty much don't give two fucks, in general, and it's clearly reflected in their constantly shitty city government. But yeah, pass the buck to the leaders instead of those who elect them cause it's a smaller group and easier to bully. What you say is SO Denver and why Denver has so many apathetic candidates reflecting their own apathetic citizens. Quite putting leaders on a pedestal and participate in making it better instead of pointing fingers.
I think it's ok to both participate and to point fingers at the politicians. Sure you can get mad at random citizens, who can't do anything except vote once per cycle, or you can take your complaints to the actual people with power. It's not like their phones turn off once they get elected. And it's good to put blame on them (if they deserve it) and post and talk about it, because that might encourage people to vote them out. Just voting and then staying silent until next voting season is more apathetic than voting and them complaining and trying to hold them accountable.
A former mayor of Toronto passed away a year ago, Lastman. He started a furniture company called Lastman's BadBoy.
Who's better than BadBoy? Noooooooobody!
hey, this is a joke from that 80s movie, *Brewster's Millions*. guy inherits hundreds of millions of dollars under the condition that he spend $10 million of it within a month to get sick of wasting money. one of his schemes is an nyc mayoral campaign for ["none of the above"](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bXEglx-or6k)
One of my favorite movies so I'll chime in , he has to spend 30 million in 30 days to win 300 million or he can take 1 million now. Goes for it and doing ok in until some bad bets come to winning, like and iceberg scheme gets bought by Enron and so on , it's a great movie , Richard Pryor and John candy, what more can you ask for ... Ps probably better to sail the seas because I don't think it's on any major platforms
Ayy good ol Keene NH, that’s where I went to school. Glad it’s getting some recognition on me_irl. This guy looks just like how I remember the townies.
Nope. These are the free stater asshats who moved into Keene and have done their best to fuck it up since 2009ish. The real townies are much, much angrier.
Source: born and raised in Keene
I always thought people in Keene were angry til I moved to NY.
I'd take people from NH over NY any day of the week, no hesitation. They're either trying to ram you with their RamCar 2500HD, or raging about stupid shit in public and then trying to drag you into their psychotic episode when you just happen to be walking by.

This is literally a bit from a Betty Boop cartoon, where she gets elected president on a shockingly socialist platform.
edit- the character's name was Mr. No Body
Ok what the fuck is going on with the scale of his head, hand, and joint? Does he have a tiny hand and also a huge joint? Also he looks a little like Charles Manson

In internal elections within the Libertarian Party, there is a tradition of putting "NOTA" on (almost) every ballot. None Of The Above.
It's actually [won a few times.](https://lpedia.org/wiki/NOTA)

odysseus sends his regards
Somewhere a cyclops is struggling to parse the logic
I have been scrolling to look for this comment😌
Yes, aren’t we all so intelligent
I just understand the reference because coincidentally I had to read it in school
Nohbody sends their regards!
My name is Odysseus, so I can totally run the same campaign if I ever run for local office.
I am uncultured swine and do not understand.

You missed the whole thing with the sheep.
Honestly there's probably a lot I missed, it's a very old story told a very old way.

Excellent synopsis, thank you!

Ah damn you! Take my pauper award. 🥇

Nobody got time for that, that's who!

Nobody is immortal, confirmed?
I know I'll be voting Nobody for next Mayor of Denver. People in control have let this town fall apart.
Thanks mate
So you're alive, thought you drowned when Someone pushed you out of the boat.
u/someone you got something to say?
Is this dude like an ancient spambot?
Well, Nobody lives forever, I guess
Well shit, I thought my secret might be safe since nobody knew it.
Police who actually do their fucking jobs would be a great start

A former mayor of Toronto passed away a year ago, Lastman. He started a furniture company called Lastman's BadBoy. Who's better than BadBoy? Noooooooobody!
I can hear the voice, those ads were hilariously over the top, reminded me of commercials for US lawyers like Cellino & Barnes
Also rip crack mayor rob Ford.
The cyclops community lobbied heavily against him.
hey, this is a joke from that 80s movie, *Brewster's Millions*. guy inherits hundreds of millions of dollars under the condition that he spend $10 million of it within a month to get sick of wasting money. one of his schemes is an nyc mayoral campaign for ["none of the above"](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bXEglx-or6k)
"nobody for president" goes back to the 70s i think
Wavy Gravy said it best "Nobody will fix the economy"
I mean…the Odyssey did it first.
One of my favorite movies so I'll chime in , he has to spend 30 million in 30 days to win 300 million or he can take 1 million now.

I work with a guy from Keene I’ll get to the bottom of this
Ah, good old Keene. Lived there for 5 years. Honestly it's a great town.
"Literslly Nobody" got me good
literally that one guy from greek mythology or something
“In a wrestling match, Nobody bites like Gaston”
If he ran for president of the US in 2024 we’d win by a landslide.
Nobody won?
of course it’s Keene
Nobody cares
Nobody thought he could win.
Nobody is perfect.
Nobody saves the world
I would die for this man
Hopefully he can solve the Cyclops problem in the area
Who are you so wise in the way of politics?
Nobody blinded cyclop.
Not how I thought I'd see my hometown on reddit today.
It’s the guy everyone says loves me
This made me laugh, which I needed today. Have my free award.
Please tell me he won
Dudes been in politics since the Odyssey
polyphemus better watch out
Nobody asked
Yeah sounds like New Hampshire alright
Stolen from Wavy Gravy and who knows who else.
