Mister Clean to be exact.

AUSTIN – Joe Francis of Amarillo – a.k.a. the other Joe the Plumber – is king of his domain name. At least through Thursday.
"Joe the Plumber" was relentlessly discussed in Wednesday's presidential debate – but that was an Ohio plumber who met Barack Obama while Mr. Obama campaigned recently in the state. The Web site joetheplumber.com belongs to Mr. Francis, and his office was flooded with calls, as if every Tom, Dick and Joe in town had sprung a leak.

I live in the panhandle and have used this guys company before ....good plumber, cheap , fair and real professional !
Hope he doesn’t sell the domain. Yet I think he will. 800k is good change for this flash in pan offer !
I just hope it doesn’t get used to promote Obamanation !
What has any of this got to do with somebody aspiring to own their own business.
The real “Joe the Plumber” is as real and as loved by conservatives as Sarah. If Joe hits the trail with McCain the crowds will be unbelievable! Joe could go out on his own and draw huge crowds. He’s like “The Knack” with “My Sharona”. They were supposed to be the “Beatles” of the 80’s. One hit and it was over. Joe’s “one hit” is at the top of the charts right this second. Take advantage of it. Help your country! Meet some babes! Have some fun for 2-1/2 weeks.

DUDE!!!
Take the money and run!!!
Then you get to register JoeTheRetired.Com!!
That’s the older, non-politically correct Mr. Clean, when he was obviously an Arab, with the ring in his ear and all.
The minute I heard McCain say “Joe the Plumber,” I went to register dot com to see if it was already listed, LOL. I figured some plumber, named Joe had it. Hope he can cash in on the sale of the domain. It’d take a lot of business from that site to add up to what he could make if somebody buys the domain, especially since it’s not a retail site, but an informational one.
Do you think Joey would pay his taxes? Fines? Purchase permits?
Joey is a hard ass with an attitude.
How can you forget “Baby Talks Dirty” or “Can’t Put A Price On Love”?!?
The Knack ruled!
[albeit very *very* briefly]....:))
Play your Knack albums!
Let’s party like it’s 1989!
If the RATS do succeed in stealing this country, we’re going to need lots of plumbers.
This theme needs to go big very fast.
Freepers need to spread the word in every place there is a MAC or BO raly.
Purchase plungers and make signs in this theme to take to the rallies.
We are all plumbers now that need to unclog the system from impending over-taxation (Socialism) and the legalized ‘theft’ of our hard earned income.
Call to MAC/Palin campaigns and organize people to go with you.
If you are going to bring a plunger, remember that you can’t bring the stick part into a rally. So if you are staying outside a BO rally, that’s fine. If you are headed into the rally, you need to replace the stick with rolled corrogated paper carried separately until you’re in the rally.
This theme needs to be the universal cry against Socialism and carries the implicit message of unclogging the “waste’ from the system.
A dozen guys with plungers just freeped a BO rally in VA!
Support Joe, the first average Joe to stand up to the tyranny of neo-Marxism!
I keep hearing this and it's as though because he currently doesn't have a license doesn't mean he can't get one. The media are so stupid.
And articulate
‘joe the plumber’ is now selling classic autos

The ear-ring might be evidence of having been on a vessel on an equator crossing or circumnavigation. A good number of US Navy-men of the Pacific theater had pierced ears, and they were neither Arabic nor girly-men.
I seem to recall commercials from like the late 60’s or so when he had a magic carpet or something. There was some sort of Arabic theme to it, IIRC.
Ah, now that is one sweet machine.
Nice.

LOL !
I’d cash that out quick. The value of that domain name is going to decline drastically three weeks out.
Life is about seizing opportunity.
I don't purposely gravitate to Wiki for answers, it's just that Wiki pops up near the top of the searches. I don't have any particular recollection of Mr. Clean being on a magic carpet (although I do recall a Popeye episode where Popeye and Olive Oyl were sharing a hookah while riding off on a magic carpet), but that sure doesn't mean P&G never made one on that sort of theme.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._CleanAccording to Procter & Gamble, the original model for the image of Mr. Clean was a United States Navy sailor from the city of Pensacola, Florida, although most people think he is a genie based on his earring, folded arms, and tendency to magically appear at the appropriate time. ...
In September 2008, the European Parliament deemed Mr. Clean potentially offensive, because his build might imply that cleaning can only be accomplished by a muscular man.

Soon as I get back into town, I’m getting one of those mini-plungers and sticking it on top of my Yukon [out of reach of punks!] and putting a Joe The Plumber pennant on it....;-D
I was a "shop rat" engineer in the automotive industry for the early part of my professional life (design the mfg process and make it run), and one of the best machine set-up men I had the pleasure of working with ("Willie") had an ear-ring. That was darned odd in the era of the late 70's, seeing a 50 year old guy with an ear-ring. I asked him about it. Willie's tale was "equator crossing, WWII, Navy," and I've never forgotten it.
What has any of this got to do with somebody aspiring to own their own business.
What this means is that either Joe would complete steps to get his license or perhaps HIRE A JOURNEYMAN PLUMBER and give someone else a job. Assuming of course that Obama would let him keep enough to hire someone.
Yep .....I’d do it !
“How can you forget “Baby Talks Dirty” or “Can’t Put A Price On Love”?!?
...”Good Girls Don’t”
I’m not sure what it was worth two weeks ago, but I’d wager a lot less than $800,000.
I think I’d contact the McCain campaign or a 527 and tell them the top offer and give them right of first refusal.
If I were him, I’d lend it to McCain for three weeks, then take it back.
You just can't be allowed to stand up to THAT ONE!!
But I do.
LOL
You have no idea about the permits, a tax lien does not mean that it is accurate, often a lien is filed and it turns out no tax was due, and he didn’t pay his fines in Arizona.
The bigger question is why do we even know all this stuff about a guy that was approached in his yard by a politician.
Another big question is why are you obsessed with this plumber, you have post, after post, on thread, after thread, expressing almost hatred for the guy.
I don't know how things are now, if he has to take some kind of test, or just get certification of completion and apply for a license with the fees. There shouldn't be that much more he needs to do.
Just trying to compete with the grand love-fest going on for this guy. McCain is getting burned by him. That's not a good thing, is it?
Joe has been a positive for McCain, that is why we are excited.
This is one of the best short cycles that we have had in a while and it reached an entire new segment of the voters.
I did some deep internet searching, looking for info to use about plumber’s licensing in Ohio and such, you know how sometimes a search like that draws you out into many far corners of the web, as I stumbled into all types of unrelated, none political forums I was amazed to see how wide spread this Joe/Obama “spread the wealth” had penetrated among areas that I would not have predicted.
Obama grabbed a tar baby when he walked up to that plumber on that day, enjoy this very significant break that we got and hope that it lasts a few more days.
