Why did the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor?

[taterguy]

Could someone fill me in? My knowledge of history is a bit lacking.

[graywarrior]

1. First of all, it was the Japanese.

[taterguy]

48. Do you have a second of all?

Enlighten me more oh educated one

[graywarrior]

51. Second of all, I will kick your ass.

:rofl:

[taterguy]

54. Do you kick the ass of everyone that asks you a question?

I'm just hear to learn man

[graywarrior]

60. OMG. Lighten up, dude.

This isn't GD. It's the Lounge. We kick back and goof on people here. Wanna fight? General Discussion is where you need to be.

[taterguy]

64. I'm as light as a butterfly

Better watch yourself. I might sting like a bee

[graywarrior]

77. .

:scared:

[mark414]

52. let him go

[graywarrior]

53. Sesame or bulkie?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

61. Link?

[dr.strangelove]

63. That was funny!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. they didnt.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Because Norway pissed off bush's grandfather

[rug]

4. To prevent the fleet from coming to the defense of Warsaw.

[taterguy]

10. Warsaw was conquered two years before Pearl Harbor

Were our war planners in World War II the folks who handled our response to Katrina?

[trof]

5. Same old, same old. They hated us for our freedom.

Are you watching "1941" with John Belushi?
;-)

[taterguy]

9. No, I'm just trying to learn about history

[trof]

11. They thought we had WMDs.

[taterguy]

13. Wild Mountain Dandelions?

They are pretty but are they worth going to war over?

[poiuytsister]

78. That would be John Belushi in Animal House

right after Dean Wormer kicks them out and everyone else gives up

[mainegreen]

6. Try posting this in GD.

See what happens!

:evilgrin:

[taterguy]

12. Good idea, so I did

[dr.strangelove]

7. DID YOU SAY OVER! NOTHING IS OVER UNTIL WE DECIDE IT IS!

War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Germans?
Forget it, he's rolling.

And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer -

Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

We're just the guys to do it.
LET'S DO IT!!

-That is my favorite of Senator John "Bluto" Blutarsky's speeches.

[guitar man]

40. that's right

nothing's over until we decide it is!!!



god, I love that movie :)

[dr.strangelove]

41. In the anniversary DVD release

They included a short called "Where Are They Now? A Delta Alumni Update" where they revealed John Blutarsky was elected President.

[guitar man]

42. Yess!!!

we could use a man like Bluto in the WH!!!

[unpossibles]

43. I have it on shakey authority that the Bluto character was based on Dubya

from a friend who does boom for movies. Don't know that it's true, but it sure is funny/sad...

[guitar man]

50. if that's true

it's a pretty poor comparison. Bluto is the guy Dubya wishes he could be, but never had the guts. The Bluto character was a real leader who wasn't afraid of the consequences of his actions.

Dumbya is a powdered and pampered prince who has never once had to face up to any responsibility, he has "people" to do that for him.

[ghostsofgiants]

56. Bush is afraid of the consequences of his actions?

[guitar man]

58. there are no consequences for him

....never have been. I doubt he has a grasp on the meaning of the word. His messes have been cleaned up for him by his rich family all his life, now KKKarl has the job.

[dr.strangelove]

59. I would say - not true

At least based on a logistical stand point. The story was put in place in a comic strip Doug Kenney started writing in the mid 1960s while at Harvard. He was Lampoon's first editor-in-chief. Given that bush was at Yale at the same time and was certainly not famous on Harvard's campus, it would be tough to imagine a geek at Harvard writing about a frat guy at Yale, especially when there were plenty of Harvard frat guys to inspire him. Chris Miller wrote the skeleton of the story in his memoirs of his fraternity days at Dartmouth. He is known to have been the drive for the party style frat in teh film. The brains was filmmaker Ivan Reitman, who wanted to make money off the Lampoon name. He set up the meeting with Miller, Lenny and Harold Ramis. Reitman produced and directed "The National Lampoon Show" in New York with John Belushi. He thought Belushi was perfect for the college party guy role. Harold Ramis was working on his own treatment which was going no where. Eventually the three wrote the story, with Bluto written for Belushi, who agreed ot act during the early part of the week in the film and go back to NYC for Saturday Night Live at the end of each week.

[unpossibles]

66. good points

also that Bluto... I mean Bush... was not in politics yet when the movie came out. Well, unless being busted for being wasted counts as being "in politics."

[Mad_Dem_X]

84. "What am I?...A zit!"

Bluto rulez.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Because of our invasion of Nanking

[trof]

14. Formerly the "Rape of Nanking". Now referred to as

"The Sexual Harassment of Nanking".

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Oh, bullshit! Nanking ASKED for it. It WANTED the invasion.

It lured us in, and then when it finally said "no", how were we to take it seriously?

And the way it was dressed. Oooh la la!

[Critters2]

72. If a city walks down the middle of the street stark naked

you DO NOT have the right to rape it.

Cities unite! Take back the night!!

[baldguy]

15. I don't know.

[Deep13]

16. May I please have 10,000 marbles?

[dr.strangelove]

18. TOGA! TOGA!

[taterguy]

21. What do marbles have to do with Pearl Harbor?

Educate me please

[Deep13]

22. Go ask Brother D-Day.

[taterguy]

23. I asked you

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. I swear, I didn't know she was only fourteen.

[dr.strangelove]

36. Christ. Seven years of college down the drain.

[Deep13]

85. FOOD FIGHT!

[dr.strangelove]

19. They were on Double Secret Probation

[Anarcho-Socialist]

[ghostsofgiants]

33. It was supposed to be a food fight.

[NoGOPZone]

37. Terrorist act designed to discourage American's use of the phrase "liberty cabbage"

[meegbear]

38. Because they hate us for our freedoms ...

why do you hate America?

[demrabble]

39. The Treaty of Versailles

And America's refusal to join the League of Nations.

The Germans were upset about both of those things.

[Boogie]

44. for kicks

[martymar64]

45. That beer bottle almost nailed Flounder's date Cissy.

Getting a little risky there, Landis.

[Ryano42]

47. You should give him a call. RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!111!!!

[Ryano42]

49. Can you imagine him...

Chairing the Senate Intelligence Committee? :)

"Ms. Rice...see if you can guess what I am now"

PFFFFT!!!

"I am an indictment...GET IT???" :rofl:

[UTUSN]

55. from the other thread: Biggest LOL in ages!!1

[LanternWaste]

57. Please, please, please tell me you...

Please, please, please tell me you intentionally left off the :sarcasm: tag or forgot to add the picture of Belushi...

[taterguy]

65. Was Belushi a German diplomat?

His name sounds Albanian to me.

What was his role in the Pearl Harbor bombing?

[LanternWaste]

67. British SAS

British SAS. Worked out of Bletchley Park...

[taterguy]

69. Veeerrrrry Interesting

Is that why the CIA assassinated him in 1982?

[LanternWaste]

79. Now you're just being silly

Now you're just being silly; he was killed by the Soviet Weather Machine will getting nachos from the food court during the Cuban Cigar Crisis.

[leftofthedial]

62. Was it over

when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Parche]

68. GERMANS

So they could hear the bombs go 'Earshplittenloudenboomer'

[GoddessOfGuinness]

70. I think it's because she left Hitler for Teddy Roosevelt.

[Critters2]

71. To get to the other side. nt

[trof]

73. Kick for proximity.

[madinmaryland]

75. Ding ding ding!!!! We have a winner!!1!!

The almighty Clenis strikes again!!1!!

[trof]

76. Did not! Did not!

Nixon did it.

[KamaAina]

80. To drag Hawai'i into the war, of course

Our feared navy composed of outrigger voyaging canoes could have turned the tide. :sarcasm:

[El Fuego]

81. But it was really a war for Maui Waui

[Xipe Totec]

82. You mean turned in the tide, don't ya?

:rofl:

[taterguy]

83. Hessians were upset about not getting paid for their Rev. War Service

Don't you know anything?

[liberal hypnotist]

86. Few people know it was the Germans.

Most people believe it was the Japanese. History never reflects truth. Your ideas and dreams are far more accurate than any history book.

The reason was an elaborate hoax on the Japanese. This forced them into war.

[taterguy]

87. No wonder no pilots were captured that day

They were under strict orders not to be taken alive so we wouldn't know it was Germans in those planes.
