Welcome to the fantabulectable DUzy Awards, a compendium of star-spangled amusement from this week on DU.

Go Hillary! response #1 by izzybeans: Well if that's what it takes :rofl: response #4 by Taxmyth: Damn Skippy And I'm here until my GERD acts up, I puke, or I run out of beer. Oh yeah, and if she suspends her campaign also. response #7 by PoliticalAmazon: Advice: Don't drink 8 beers and post. You'll have to change your screen name tomorrow. n/t response #16 by msallied: Well at least you aren't running for President. Enjoy your freedom, fellow citizen! lol On a thread by LoZoccolo: Name one thing that Bush* did that Hillary wouldn't do. response #7 by Tierra_y_Libertad: Gag on pretzels while crashing a bicycle? response #13 by Gore1FL: Have sex with Laura Bush response #15 by sniffa: Drink Oh wait, never mind. response #18 by NYCGirl: Sleep with Condi? NT response #25 by joeybee12: Sleep with Jeff Gannon? n/t response #19 by shayes51: Pick Cheney for VP. response #30 by Buzz Clik: Puke in Laura's lap? response #55 by FlyingSquirrel: Clear brush? :shrug: Land on an aircraft carrier in a crotch-grabbing flight suit? response #62 by greguganus: Snuggle with Ma n Pa Bush Sr. after a bad dream. n/t OP by Hubert Flottz: Hey...did you hear the one about the traveling salesman? He ran out of gas! You're right...this stuff about $4.09.9 a gallon for regular unleaded, ain't a damned bit more funny than that $5.00 a gallon milk is! response #4 by Hubert Flottz: Dumbya might advise the traveling salesperson of today... "I don't think you can get there from here anymore!" "Pies is round, Cornbreads is square!" "Make The Pump Higher!" "This Here River Don't Go To Aimtry!" On a thread by The Straight Story: Bill To Protect Pets In Domestic Violence Situations "COLUMBUS, Ohio -- In many instances, domestic violence situations can claim more than one victim. There are laws to protect children and the target of the abuse, but what about the pets in the home? A new law is targeted at protecting even more innocent victims, NBC 4's Paul Stelzer reported..." response #19 by the late johnnycatt: we're spending time on this? response #25 by Scout: YOU aren't anymore!! tee hee n/t On a thread by Iris: How do you plan to observe "The Pill Kills Day"? It's coming up - June 7th! Join young people across the country on Protest the Pill Day '08: The Pill Kills Babies on June 7 and witness outside of clinics that distribute this killing poison... http://thepillkills.com/ response #1 by jmowreader: Just let 'em keep going I clicked on the link. It claims that between the handing-down of Griswold and now, 324 MILLION "chemical abortions" took place in the United States. A "chemical abortion" is apparently any month that a woman taking the pill does not get pregnant, which is kind of silly when you consider there are months when women who use no BC whatsoever don't get pregnant. Read that number again: 324 million. Your average American, upon reading that number, would have one of two reactions: REACTION 1: "OMG! We have got to BAN THE PILL RIGHT NOW to save all those precious babies!" REACTION 2: "324 million abortions? Y'know, smoking crack may not be the right hobby for you." response #8 by Fox Mulder: I'm going to pass out pills to those dumbass protesters. I don't want them procreating. response #16 by lame54: I'm gonna have an abortion response #18 by blondeatlast: "Cosmopolitans and Curettage" at my house, girls! Bring your own towels, please. response #27 by Oeditpus Rex: Preventing ovulation = 'killing babies' One is forced to conclude that these people believe conception occurs when a man looks at boobs. response #43 by Withywindle: I'm going to start a new business - meaningful Christian burials for tampons. Every month, millions of women commit "attrition abortion." Surely there are women who've been "born again" and repent their terrible sin, and want to memorialize their little lost angels. (Sanitary pads have "wings" in a little-understood allusion to this.) response #75 by Prisoner_Number_Six: Personally ironic- That's my birthday. :evilgrin: response #78 by Patsy Stone: Thanks for reminding me to call in a refill on that prescription. response #103 by Rosemary2205: Menstruation makes the baby Jesus cry. i think that's in leviticus somewhere. :crazy: GD, May 30, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3365608 On a thread by sniffa: Has Hillary released her medical records? response #2 by billyoc: She wanted to, but Kinko's wouldn't take an I.O.U. :hi: response #11 by Yael: The Conscience reports are still under review. Industry experts are baffled that she doesn't appear to have one. Its an anomaly that confounds modern science. :( response #26 by MilesColtrane: Don't know... Her liver may be shot from all that photo op drink pounding. OP by elehhhhna: Hey! I'm from Chicago! When's Obama going to apologize for all the crap I say? He's gonna have a lot of 'splainin' to do! I have sometimes typed swears on the DU. response #3 by polichick: I was in Kansas once, so he'd better toss me under the bus too! response #3 by Mz Pip: Me too! I'm from Chicago, don't live there anymore but so what? I also used to go to church there and the priest said some pretty inflammatory things. Obama must have been about 9 years old then, but so what? He should have known better if he wanted to run for president like he said back in Kindergarten. response #30 by roguevalley: I have a friend from Chicago. HEY! WHERE'S MY APOLOGY! FROM OBAMA! RIGHT?! FROM HIM!? OR IS IT FROM ME!? I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE! HEY! ANYBODY GOT A SAMMICH! I IS HUNGRY IN MY EPIC FAIL HERE! response #6 by Mooney: I was in Chicago for a wedding two years ago. I got some wedding cake on my tie. Can't we find a way that Obama is responsible for my dry cleaning? response #10 by sfexpat2000: I once went to a Chicago concert. Hope there's room under that bus. :) response #12 by Happyhippychick: I had a really bad Chicago-style pizza once. I demand an apology and a renouncement. response #13 by sfam: Um, sorry...didn't anyone tell you that you need to make a YouTube video first? Come on, now. You can't expect us to blame Obama for you without a Youtube video, now do ya? response #24 by Undercurrent: Obama should apologize, reject, renounce, and repudiate immediately! My ex-husband's second cousin's adopted son's fiance used to live in Chicago (actually it was Chicago Junction, Ohio - which was renamed Willard, in 1917 - but close enough), and said terrible things! :wow: response #25 by FLDem5: I have reported your confessions to the campaign they want to know if you used asterisks or typed out the actual words before they address this at the press conference. response #26 by bbgrunt: Hey, I can find Chicago on a map. He better renounce and reject me if he wants to be president. response #32 by swampg8r: thank god im from florida he only has to issue half an apology for what i do OP by MannyGoldstein: It's Like The Patriots Fighting The Redcoats Hillary Clinton is like George Washington, leading a ragtag group of Patriots to institute Democracy in the Democratic Party. Howard Dean is like King George, trying to suppress The People. Clinton has been the overwhelming underdog since she entered the race last year. She's made incredible strides towards name recognition, and towards introducing a level of honesty and transparency in politics that is unmatched in out country's history. She has done so effortlessly, without complaint and without pitting one group against another. Now she has one last hurdle to leap, and she'll be able to claim the nomination that is rightfully hers. Ooops - gotta go take my meds. I'll check in later. OP by dmordue: I'm holding the GE June 13 - it won't count but you can vote if you want to and then in Nov we will decide it counts and will decide the presidency. After all if you didn't vote when it didn't count your vote doesn't count. response #1 by nichomachus: Good, June 13 is more convenient for me And if they don't count my vote, then they will be disenfranchising me. On a thread by ballsalicious: Clinton changes handgun position "Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton told Montana reporters Friday that she no longer favors national handgun registration and licensing, even as she supports such measures in her adopted state of New York. 'What I came out for was the New York law,' the U.S. senator said in a noon conference call Friday. ;I don't think there is any contradiction between defending Second Amendment rights and trying to keep guns out of the hands of" criminals and the mentally ill...'" response #17 by druidity33: now she keeps it in the small of her back... GANGSTA style. :) response #18 by needledriver: If she changed position from one hand to a modified Weaver stance I would buy into this but.... response #23 by zanne: And "Truck Nutz" for every pickup she stands in! nt response #27 by DavidD: Give her a break. She's just reverting to her Montana roots. response #28 by izquierdista: Nothing left of the right foot Time to change aim and shoot at the left! On a thread by SheWhoMustBeObeyed: Furrygate: The Furrying (Obama's Uncle Investigation Update) "It’s been a rough week for Dan Riehl, Steve Gilbert and their fellow dumpster-diving, countertop-appraising Stinkertons. In pursuing the riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma that isn’t the military record of Barack Obama’s great-uncle, they’ve had their ears boxed by a WWII vet, been easily proven wrong in their speculative fantasies and come this close to breaking bread with Holocaust deniers as they parsed the differences between stops on the Nazi roadmap to the Final Solution. It really couldn’t get more embarrassing for these people, could it? Well, it could, but we’d have to imagine a twist to this story so far-fetched as to beggar belief. Like, say, if the eager investigator on Gilbert’s ‘Sweetness and Light’ blog who sent harassing emails to WWII vet Ray Kitchell and his son Mark...(t)urned out to be a sexual fetishist who regularly commissions artwork of himself as a cigar-chomping skunk getting its knob sucked by a menagerie of voluptuously drawn cartoon rabbits, gophers and other assorted mammalia. If he turned out to be a regular attendee of ‘furry’ gatherings so desperate and noxious in his social interactions that members of that oft-maligned subculture shunned him as a pariah..." response #8 by RichardRay: Thank god for the Internet: Something new!!! I have long been a crusty old curmudgeon who would proudly proclaim that, "If I can smoke it, snort it, shoot it, rub it on my gums, suck it or cram it up my ass, I've done it." I will now have to investigate furry cartoons as a modality that still remains unsurveyed. OP by impeachdubya: My Prediction? Denver '08 is going to be just like Chicago '68. Except instead of Hippies protesting it's going to be angry, racist old grannies. response #47 by IndianaJones: will Obama's typical white granny be there? nt. On a thread by jpak: Tropical Storm Arthur forms in Atlantic Basin response #5 by eppur_se_muova: When they reach the D's, let's name one "Dubya". nt response #8 by Dead_Parrot: Nah... ...Hurricanes have lots of energy and organisation, touch the lives of ordinary Americans, and go away after a few days or weeks of pissing people off. Instead, may I recommend asteroid 3854 George, which is as dumb as a rock, completely detached from any human, spins constantly and will drift aimlessly forever? response #11 by pscot: Only if its course will cause it to crash into the earth and leave the planet fucked up beyond all recognition. On a thread by fadedrose: How come we never see Al From on TV? response #1 by sfexpat2000: Because he has no reflection? :silly: OP by Jake3463: What's the Problem with Puerto Rico 100% of Clinton Supporters and 100% of Obama supporters won't vote for the other candidate in the GE per Keith Olbermann. Why don't they want unity? OP by Johnyawl: Hillary as VP unites the Democratic Party... ...Half the party will be unhappy that Obama is the nominee; the other half will be unhappy Clinton is the VP. See? We're all be united in our unhappiness. No. Really. This will work. Both sides can take credit for winning the election, and then we can spend the next 4 years ignoring the republicans and sniping at each other. We'll bring a whole new ethos to the Democratic Party. Instead of being perpetual losers, always finding a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, we'll win, but find a way to be miserable and unhappy about it. On a thread by 48percenter: So, starting when, and for how long will disgruntled Clinton supporters response #10 by cliffordu: Riots?? Yep, they're still burning their Control Top pantyhose and throwing their walkers into the reflecting pool..... GDP, June 1, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6209795 OP by BerryBush: Terry McAuliffe was just on MSNBC right now spouting off about how Hillary wins here and there and this and that and all over the place and... Please. Kill. Me. Now. :banghead: response #5 by eleny: Didn't he just get back from Narnia? OP by chimpsrsmarter: Toilet seats, still made in America. yes it's true, the Bemis corporation still allows you to cop a squat on good old american made seats, i replaced 2 toilet seats today with ones made here. http://www.bemismfg.com/ i'd go for the Xcite one, it's a quality seat with a hidden hinge but if your posterior is too precious for a hard seat i'd recommend their soft line. Nation, you know what to do and on which seat to sit and poo. :patriot: response #2 by eleny: Taking a back seat to none! response #5 by aint_no_life_nowhere: Do they make a Larry Craig model? That accomodates a wide squat? response #9 by EOO: So we have three industries left - fast food, porno, and toilet seats. USA! USA! USA! response #11 by chimpsrsmarter: and the first two generally lead to the 3rd one. On a thread by thewiseguy: The Michelle Obama rumor was started by a strong Hillary backer ... So it has been 2 weeks since Larry Johnson who is a backer for Hillary has claimed that there is such a damning tape against Michelle Obama. He is using the presence of such a tape as an excuse for Hillary's stay in this race. Would you not think if this was remotely true then this tape would have been released by now...? response #14 by Youphemism: Only republicans think black people still use "whitey" You may as well try to convince people she referred to honkies while getting an afro. Mr. Hannity, FYI, the term would be "cracka." Your unhipness will be your undoing. LOL! Whitey. See if you can't get your money back from "The Huggy Bear School of Ebonics." response #15 by cryingshame: Maybe someone at Trinity has the actual last name of "Whitey". ;) response #20 by Elspeth: His last name is "Ford" And he played baseball. :) response #51 by whistler162: or Herzog he also played baseball. response #42 by ErinBerin84: oh my god, haha. Why'd he-gate! On a thread by flvegan: Teen saves baby who fell under bus "A 14-year-old boy walking home from school saved the life of a baby who had fallen under the front wheel of a stopped bus that was about to drive off, police said. Tyler Purvis-Mitchell, of 2 Sard Road, a sports-loving student at Albany Preparatory Charter School, was heading home around 2 p.m. Friday when he saw the 5-day-old baby fall out of his stroller. 'He was under the wheel of the bus and it was getting ready to leave,' Purvis-Mitchell said Saturday. 'I ran over and grabbed him...'" response #2 by DS1: Fell? Barack threw him under there, he throws everyone under the bus oh, wrong GD :crazy: response #9 by eyesroll: Is it wrong that I read this as "teen threw baby under the bus" and immediately got annoyed at the overuse of the "thrown under the bus" expression? response #18 by 2008: The little guy must have gotten confused and pressed the eject button :D response #20 by notadmblnd: They don't call them "bouncing baby boys" for nothing Poll question by featherman: POLL: MOST anti-Obama posts and replies on DU are written by: :bluebox: Sincere Clinton Supporters :bluebox: RW Trolls and Mischief Makers :bluebox: Bitter Idealists who regard all candidates as unworthy "corporatists" :bluebox: None of the above (suggest other choice) response #1 by IanDB1: Other: The Alien Overlords from Planet Xenu who observe us with their robotic pigeons. n/t response #11 by H2O Man: 7th sun spots n/t response #17 by L0oniX: I've been warning you all about the Martians on this board for quite a while. http://smilieland. com/graphics/st_alien1_sm.gif response #19 by billyoc: Ignored, and Name Removed GDP, June 1, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6216564 OP by FLDem5: THIS IS TEH SUCK!!1! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: <------- DO YOU SEE HOW ANGRY I AM?!!11! :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: <------ DO YOU SEE HOW DISGUSTED I AM?!!!11!11 :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: <------- DO YOU SEE HOW MUCH CONTEMPT I HAVE FOR YOUR WORDS?!!11! i heart gdp. that is all. OP by MN Against Bush: Hillary Announces she will be Facing off Against Uncommitted in October's General Election (Washington) – The Clinton Campaign announced today that the Hillary will be facing off against her opponent Uncommitted in October's general election. While elections are usually held in November Clinton says that the election needed to be moved up in order to give the hard working white people of America the chance to have a greater say in choosing their next President. Federal officials claim that the rules clearly state that in order for the election to be valid it must be held in November and they have refused to accept the electoral votes of any state who decides to hold their election early. A spokesperson for the Clinton campaign has said that while they agree with federal officials that the votes cast in October's election will not count “People should vote anyways because we may change our minds and decide that the rules should be changed after the election has taken place”. Clinton's rivals Barack Obama and John McCain have said that their names will not be appearing on October's ballots. McCain removed his name from the ballot after a friend of his who works as a lobbyist for voting machine manufacturer Diebold assured him that he could win even if his name was not on the ballot. Obama on the other hand is not in the October race to win because he insists on following election laws. “The only legitimate election is the one that occurs in November, and this campaign is moving towards a November victory.” The Clinton campaign immediately denounced Obama's comments as an attempt to disenfranchise all the people who show up to cast their votes in October. “We are tired of this negative campaigning from Barack Hussein Osama. He needs to put on a flag pin, stop going to black churches, and stop these divisive attacks. He is never going to win over hard working white people if he keeps going negative, but that bitter elitist and his misogynistic cult just seem incapable of running a positive campaign like we have”. Clinton officials said that despite Obama's insistence on following the rules that they would move forward and pretend that the results of the October election don't count until Hillary succeeds in her battle against Uncommitted and the rules can be changed to accommodate her victory. response #1 by reflection: "Don't blame me," "I voted Uncommitted." response #3 by bilgewaterbill: Is that a fair reflection? response #9 by billyoc: Shame on you Uncommitted! Meet me in Westchester for A REAL DEBATE!! :rofl: OP by Husb2Sparkly: Mitch McConnell is a spineless, chinless, witless, dickless, ratfaced asshat (this post apropos of nothing) response #16 by Ikonoklast: He also has small hands and smells like cheese Some people say.... response #23 by aint_no_life_nowhere: He has that Republican look of morbid constipation Brit Hume perfected the look, which is one of extreme anal retentiveness that suggests that at any moment, they could go into convulsions and their anus could swallow their entire body through its event horizon and suck it down the black hole with a "phhhhhhht" into nothingness. Instant rapture. response #27 by Vinca: Okay, those are his positive points. Let's hear the negs.! :rofl: GD, June 2, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3375747 OP by npincus: *Breaking*** Karl Rove Sex Tape I have it on good authority that Democratic operatives are in possession of a tape showing Karl Rove committing unspeakable acts with an underage, un-consenting white-colored farm animal... the tape is blurry but the animal appears to be a sheep, and the audio is clear: the frightened animal bleats for help with every Rovian embrace, as Rove moans "whitey, whitey, whitey" in it's furry little ear. Apparently Democrats are holding this tape for their "October Surprise", which appears to be the time for release of other imaginary but nevertheless filthy and vicious political smears against the opposition. "Fictitious" is the operative word. **No animals were harmed in the writing of this post. response #1 by shadowknows69: But my psyche was harmed for having to visulaize that I'll be sending you my next five therapist bills. response #13 by powergirl: Don't put that vision in my head!!! "Karl Rove" and "sex tape" do not belong in the same sentence. It burns it burns!!!!!!!!! AGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH response #14 by Douglas Carpenter: NOW THAT SOUNDS REALLY HOT!!!! :crazy: response #28 by dave29: Ewe had to go there this is sheer nonsense and wool not be tolerated OP by BuyingThyme: Recommend this thread if you're a troll who came here to disrupt the primary discussions. response #1 by BuyingThyme: I'll never make it to the Greatest page. OP by JustABozoOnThisBus: Why did Ickes wear that shirt? In Saturday's meeting, he seemed to be the only one at the "grown-up's table" not wearing a suit. Did he have a tee time at the golf course, and no time to change? Is it just disrespect? Does he see himself as some kind of rebel? Is he a member of "Code Plaid"? Does he want to be ignored? Is this a way to stand out in a sea of suits? I can post three times today. This is one. :hi: OP by originalpckelly: George Bush passed Civics... Unfortunately, the Presidency is not a Honda dealership. response #1 by aint_no_life_nowhere: Bush uses Air Force One to go buy a bag of pretzels I don't think he even uses the roadways, does he? response #2 by bill for obama: I thought he just wanted the free peanuts. response #4 by Donnachaidh: I was going to say on his way to the student cafeteria But somehow it doesn't warrant a rimshot. OP by wilt the stilt: Bush Brain Surgery Successful Lobotomy performed and successful. Bush smarter than ever. "Feels great let's do it again tomorrow" Recommended for entire staff to improve mental agility and better decision making capabilities response #4 by Vickers: They've made some remarkable strides in microsurgery the last few years. :P On a thread by anamnua: May 31st - Appropriate Stalin quote Those who cast the Votes, they decide nothing. Those who count the votes, they decide everything. response #1 by jgraz: And those who can't count join the Clinton campaign. On a thread by OKIsItJustMe: Sarasota company selling solar-powered cars (golf carts) "'... At first glance they look like golf carts, but it's what's up top that makes them different. It is a solar electric hybrid vehicle. The only one of its kind in the world,' says Ken Chester of Cruise Car, Inc. It's powered by the sun and powerful. 'This can run all day until about 6:30-7:00 at night...'" response #1 by Kutjara: "This can run all day until about 6:30-7:00 at night." By which time, everyone in Sarasota is in bed. response #3 by liberal N proud: If I lived in Florida in a gated community Where everything was within the community, I would consider it. I don't think I would survive my first trip in the Cleveland area. These drivers would run it down just for fun response #4 by Dr.Phool: It would fall into a pothole in Cleveland And never be seen again. On a thread by turtlensue: Bikini-clad women make men impatient "Authors Bram Van den Bergh, Siegfried DeWitte, and Luk Warlop (KULeuven, Belgium) found that the desire for immediate rewards increased in men who touched bras, looked at pictures of beautiful women, or watched video clips of young women in bikinis running through a park. 'It seems that sexual appetite causes a greater urgency to consume anything rewarding,' the authors suggest. Thus, the activation of sexual desire appears to spill over into other brain systems involved in reward-seeking behaviors, even the cognitive desire for money. 'After they touched a bra, men are more likely to be content with a smaller immediate monetary reward,' writes Bram Van den Bergh, one of the study's authors. 'Prior exposure to sexy stimuli may influence the choice between chocolate cake or fruit for dessert...'" response #3 by Kutjara: OK, so if I understand this right... ...advertisers could...bear with me here, it's pretty complex...advertisers could somehow...I don't know...maybe juxtapose images of, say, their clients' products with images of scantily clad women. Or they could use...I'm just hypothesising wildly...attractive actresses in commercials aimed at men. That would then make men more likely to buy. Fascinating. I really hope the advertising industry never catches onto this. We'd be putty in their hands. response #5 by jasonc: This might explain why... My fiancee keeps bringing me lingerie shopping... :evilgrin: response #8 by DuStrange: My question is... "After they touched a bra, men are more likely to be content with a smaller immediate monetary reward," writes Bram Van den Bergh, one of the study's authors. Why am I never asked to be part of these frikkin' studies?! response #17 by Canuckistanian: That's absur... I gotta go n/t response #18 by KamaAina: That does say "impatient", right? :shrug: response #19 by petronius: That short-term rewards thing would be useful for insurance adjustors or other people who need to negotiate settlements. Put a smokin' hot assistant out front (or just be smokin' hot yourself) and meetings will go like this: "Well, Mr. Smith, your case is long and complex. We can deal with it over the next few months, or you can just have this cookie now." "COOKIE! COOKIE!" OP by mtnsnake: Obama supporters: I have thought it over very seriously, and I am here to make a pledge tonight In the spirit of party unity, I hereby pledge to you that I will not gloat for a single second when Hillary wins the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the very near future. :smoke: OP by rateyes: Breaking: Michelle Obama tape reveals her pet name for Barack: HOWDY! In the tape she is reported to remark: "Howdy manage, under great odds, to win the Iowa Caucuses." "Howdy end up winning almost twice as many states as Hillary." "Howdy win more pledged delegates than Senator Clinton." "Howdy go up against the Clinton machine and get the nomination of the Democratic Party." "Howdy do it. He's smart. He ran a superior campaign. His message of change resonates with the voters." --------------- Now, I know that some of you may doubt this tape's existence, but I have been told by 5 reliable sources that someone told them they had seen the tape, and relayed the information to them. Don't take my word for it. Take theirs! There are others who would say that "Howdy" is supposed to be written "How'd he" and that the statements are indeed rhetorical questions, and that as statements the subject "Howdy" does not agree with the verbs given in the alleged statements, and that, being a Princeton educated lawyer, Michelle Obama certainly knows the proper way to use verbs with subjects. But, just wait until you see the tape....you'll know that I'm telling you the gospel truth. Have I ever lied to you before? :shrug: And, by the way, other sources tell me that Michelle lovingly calls Barack "Howdy" because that was the first word he ever spoke to her, when he remarked, "Howdy, beautiful!" Sincerely, Larry Johnson response #11 by Canuckistanian: She also calls him a "Jew" "Jew eat breakfast?" "Jew wanna go shopping for a new suit?" "Hey, Jew go to the store for me?" :rofl: response #13 by damntexdem: Now it's Howdy. After January, it will be Doody. He will have dood his doody and put the country back onto the road to recovery. response #17 by OilemFirchen: Makes sense "Dude, he did it!" "Dude, he's the president!" "Dude, I'm so psyched!" response #18 by OilemFirchen: There are others lurking out there... The "Izzy" fiasco. The embarrassing "Woody" small talk. The confusing "Willy" conversations. And, of course, the provocative "Diddy" tapes. OP by Husb2Sparkly: Three Predictions - take them to the bank. One: There will be a post, before this week is over (maybe before Wednesday) that will read, in part "our long party nightmare is over". Two: There will be a post, election night 2008, that will read, in part "our long national nightmare will soon be over". Three: On January 20, 2009, there will be a post that will read, in part "our long national nightmare is finally over." Bank on it. If no one else makes these posts, I will. response #4 by jgraz: Let's just hope there's not an "Oh fuck, they did it again" post on election night. :scared: response #5 by grantcart: so I will eventually be able to stop taking medication for all of these fucking nightmares?

On a thread by Mountainman: What is enlightenment? IMMANUEL KANT An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment? (1784) Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude!

OP by alcibiades_mystery: The Iceberg Lettuce Conspiracy (or, so we were eating some arugula the other night...) So we were eating some arugula the other night, and we decided that iceberg lettuce was the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American public. Let me explain. I grew up in an Italian household. So what you call "arugula," we just called "salad" (really, salate). Pops would drizzle it with some extra virgin and just put it on a plate. Buon appetito. Now, I know what you're thinking: Lucky you to have grown up so rich and fancy! But we weren't at all. We were even poor for many of those years, living in a string of apartments in Queens, NY. But we always had good salad, and we always had seafood on Friday (lent or no), even if it meant scraping together pennies for that. And, to be fair, in the outer boroughs where we lived, with huge Italian populations that felt the same, arugula wasn't that expensive. So, of all the things to spend more on when you're poor, why arugula? Why? Because arugula tastes like something. Or rather, it has a taste. We never ate iceberg lettuce, and - quite frankly - I was horrified when I actually had what you people call a "salad." It's just fucking water, yo. It has no taste. So what's the conspiracy? My wife and I decided that iceberg lettuce is a fraud foisted on the public by an Evil Salad Dressing Cabal. That's right. Ya been hoodwinked by Lite Ranch shlockers. Believe it. Because, you see, owing to the utter tastelessness of iceberg lettuce, you need something on it, to wit, dressing. If you make it fatty, cream-based dressing, all the better to hide the fact that you're basically eating water. It's cheap as shit to grow. It is sturdy, so it holds that disgusting dressing you people gulp down. And you basically don't notice that you're actually paying more than you would for something that actually has a taste, because you constantly have to buy those sickening squeeze pump bottle of congealed shite.

Shows how adept I am at Morse code. :shrug: OP by Erin Elizabeth: My sophomore year of college, I had this boyfriend. And things were ok for a while, except he got more and more strident the longer we dated and finally he started just assuming we'd get married. He never even asked how I felt about it, just assumed. He'd talk about it like it was a done deal. It dawned on me slowly that he might be a bit out of wack. So I tried to break up with him. I say tried because he....just didn't accept it. At all. Pitched a fit, then whined and cried, then appealed to my emotions, then practically begged me not to break up with him. I was extremely unsure about it, but I said fine. I sort of felt sorry for him. However, I started putting some distance between us. I'd avoid him on campus, only take his call about every third or fourth time he called, make excuses for why I couldn't see him. But he still didn't get it. He'd introduce himself to people as my "boyfriend and future husband" when we were together and I'd cringe. Or maybe mouth "no" at the person. I told him again it was over and this time, it was weirder than ever--he was totally calm and simply told me no, it's not over. WTF? What do you mean it's NOT over? He said very calmly, almost smiling, that he wasn't going to LET it be over. Which gave me chills. He was never abusive but this was now completely creepy. When I left campus to return home for the summer that year, he began to talk about his plans for us when our junior year started--how long we'd be engaged, when we'd get married, etc. The guy was DELUSIONAL. I BROKE UP WITH HIM TWICE. I TOLD EVERYONE I KNEW THAT IT WAS OVER. Over, over, over. He refused to accept it. Fortunately he lived in another city, so besides the twice a day long distance phone calls I never answered, I didn't have to face him. I met my real future husband in July of that summer. When school started back up, he came to see me at the university one weekend. Delusionoid Dude showed up. He acted as if we had a standing freaking date. I was pissed off now, I'd had enough of this sick, twisted, dysfunctional bullshit. I told him off. My actual boyfriend/future husband (but I didn't know it then) heard me and came out to see what was going on. I half-heartedly introduced them and Delusionoid Dude said, "Nice to meetcha, I'm her fiance, ___________." :wtf: My real boyfriend asked him to leave. He was smart enough to do so and fortunately he scaled back on the crazy phone calls and driving past my apartment all the time and leaving crazy notes on my door. But--I ran into him about two months after I got married. I told him I was married. He smiled that crazy-ass smile and said, "We never broke up." Guess why I'm remembering that tonight?

My first ever Special Visual Achievement award (that I am aware of).
A thousand flippant "pev" Lounge replies, and one finally scores a DUzy. And best of all, a Stanley Cup DUzy! Do we all get our names engraved on that one? :bounce: |

15. That never occurred to me. |
I have the opposite problem. Someone PMs me a link and I can't open it because I have someone on ignore. On the brighter side, most of the denizens of my modest ignore list really aren't very funny, at least intentionally.

16. Thank you. |
One of the few upsides to the rancor of primary season has been seeing that supporters on both sides of the fence can keep their splendid senses of humor, but at the same time some of the partisanship in winning posts has caused some, um, hard feelings. It's been tricky. On to the GE, where the targets of ridicule will be much more universally acceptable to everyone but the trolls.

thanks for the correction there. I was rushing to get these up between finishing work and actually heading out for a rare, honest-to-God restaurant meal, thinking the whole time, "I'm sure I've botched something here."
Now just don't verify the rest of the links! There are bound to be more errors.:scared: |
