On a thread by wellstone dem : Stop the insanity--top 10 reasons to defeat michele bachmann

    10-She won't call birthers crazy.
    09-She hearts Joe Wilson.
    08-She's a climate change denier.
    07-She hates to talk to local media or her constituents.
    06-She refuses to fill out the census forms because it might land her in an internment camp.
    05-Because the government wants you to play Russian roulette with a loaded gun.
    04-At some point when she was in DC, she must have seen an orgy.
    03-She likes George Bush, no, she REALLY likes George Bush.
    02-Slit our wrists and be blood brothers?
    01-She wants the media to do exposes on her anti-American colleagues.

rurallib : I'll bid a nickel, but Sarah's gotta pay postage.


Hawkeye-X : I'll wait for the dollar bin

Maybe not.. I shouldn't expose my wife and the kid to noxious fumes..


Hepburn : I cannot wait to see it on a $1-table at Big Lots!

:hi:


BOSSHOG : Available at Goodwill by Christmas


MineralMan : And in the Goodwill 3 for 99 cents bin by New Years.


johnnie : At this rate...

...she'll make a cool $1,000 when it's said and done.


RevCheesehead : Still overpriced.

They must be paying by the word.


damntexdem : The price drops like a rock when what was hot becomes stone cold.

A once rosy-looking profit outlook is now palin.

On a thread by The Straight Story : Study says orgasm is harder for men who smoke weed


CreekDog : or softer

:evilgrin:


cherokeeprogressive : "have trouble getting an orgasm"

Does that mean pot smoking men are not prone to premature ejaculation?


Orrex : No--it means that in the middle of The Act, they stop to have some nachos.


cherokeeprogressive : It's all becoming clearer now...

That's why she always makes nachos before she says "Let's get high and fuck".

I never put the two together! Now I'll stop complaining about three hour old nachos...


U4ikLefty : I have been conducting this 'survey" for a number of years

with different results.


WCGreen : So it take a little more time...

But the orgasm, man, is like orgasmic, dude...

OP by Jack Sprat : NASA blew up the Moon

It's been days and I've been looking, but the moon is gone. If you've seen the moon, then can you look me in the eyes and tell me any different. Go outside and tell me the moon is still there.

It's like I've always conjectured. The moon was hollow like a Feberge egg. The explosion obviously fragmented it into tiny pieces. Now we have only starlight. All the songs about the moon have suddenly become obselete. It's done. There's no moon.


dixiegrrrrl : No joke...I can't see it either, and the tides in my pond have stopped.

And it is a lot quieter outside at night. That has never happened before.
Dark and quiet.


tammywammy : And I know this is a bit personal

But my period has been going non-stop. Another sure sign the moon has completely disappeared.


Merlot : They're saying it's a meteor shower tonight...but it's really pieces of the moon

So Sad!


Dogmudgeon : I'm gonna miss the old Moon

I can't wait until we get a NEW one!

--d!


yawnmaster : I saw part of it the other day. yes. you heard me right...

during the DAY. and only part of it.
They did not blow up the moon, they only cracked it and changed its orbit to the daytime.

"Hey, could you give me my nookie?"

"Pass me my nookie, over there."

Six months from now... "Wow, nookies all over the place!"


Richardo : I know: "Leaked"?

We're beavis and butthead. :D


MineralMan : Perfect for reading adult books, I guess.

Actually, though, when they said "double-screen" I though they were talking about a two-page view. I'm disappointed that it's not that.


Warren DeMontague : I hope the screen is easy to clean.

Just sayin'. :shrug:

On a thread by 27inCali : Public must learn to 'tolerate the inequality' of bonuses, says Goldman Sachs


Puzzler : Good, then maybe "they"...

... and their fellow GOP'ers will tolerate things like the public option. Sounds fair, right?


Zix : Ah, that was an unwise thing to say.


MichiganVote : Neat idea. Its only the basis for every revolution the world has ever had.


Phoebe Loosinhouse : Tolerate the Inequality would look great carved on the side of a tumbril.

Or, it could become the new Goldman Sachs Mission Statement. They need to put that on all their stationary, prospectuses, quarterly reports, etc.

On a thread by n2doc : Prepare to puke

Burger King Japan selling Windows 7 burgers
updated 11:10 pm EDT, Wed October 21, 2009 Microsoft promos Win 7 with BK deal

Microsoft has taken the unusual step of promoting Windows 7 in Japan with Burger King's launch of a Windows 7 Whopper. Fitting in with the software theme, the burger stacks seven patties in an otherwise normal Whopper and measures 5.1 inches tall. It also has an appropriate 777 yen ($8.53) price.

The stunt isn't unique for Microsoft's Windows 7 launch, which in the run-up to Thursday's introduction has repeated the "seven" theme in multiple publicity events; it launched a giveaway of the new OS for every resident of the Dutch village of Zevenhuizen ("Seven Houses") and decorated parts of the Spanish village Sietes ("Sevens") in Windows-themed colors. The campaign contrasts sharply against the more traditional ads of Vista and earlier Windows releases, highlighting Microsoft's desire to turn around its public image.

Arctic Dave : LOL. It looks more like a spoof then a stunt. Does it give you seven heart attacks too.


Turbineguy : Does it come with

the cow bell?


Toucano : Yeah, but does it freeze halfway through being eaten? n-t


Vogon_Glory : As long as the burger goes down and the operating system doesn't!

:evilgrin:

On a thread by eppur_se_muova : Would you pay $4.95 to attend a motivational speech by President George W. Bush? (CNN poll!)


gratuitous : All the necessary safety precaution in place

Attendees will be asked to check their shoes at the door. Toe socks not recommended.


TwilightGardener : What will I be motivated to do, for $4.95 and 20 minutes?

Besides running a pencil through my eye?


alc : $4.95 is just to lure you in

They make the real money at the concession stand selling old shoes for $50 each.

That must be the reason none of my many, many witty comments of the past seven days made the cut. So, I'll give you another week to make it right.

Here's a K&R anyway; not to be construed as a bribe, of course. :evilgrin:

This is too big a task for just your eyes. I'm sure many would be willing to let you know when they spot DUzy worthy material. (especially mine :evilgrin:).

Seriously; or at least as serious as I ever get, let us know. Tons of humor around here.

26. Wait. What? There's a reason to be funny again?
When did the TMBDUzys start happening? Did I miss an official announcement?

Does this mean we can PM you into total burnout like we did to JeffR?

Are you truly committed, or are you just teasing us? And if you are committed, do they allow visitors?

28. I think
that I will politely request that all DUzy nominations be in the form of a subject line in reply to a post. I can very easily do a search on the word "DUzy", and it will hopefully prevent a clogged inbox with numerous DUzy nominations for the same posts.
