Another seemingly irresistable step toward "Idiocracy"

"Brought to you by Carl's Junior!"

"Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator!"

Why am I not in the least surprised this is taking root in a place like Texas?

1. I want a beverage that forces thirst to watch while thirst's family is murdered

Why stop at mutilation?

[GrpCaptMandrake]

2. Suffer, thirst, SUFFER! n/t

[lunatica]

3. ICK!

4. "Go 'way! I'm batin'!" n/t

5. "There was a time when reading wasn't just for fags.

And neither was writing. People wrote books and movies. Movies with stories, that made you care about whose ass it was and why it was farting. And I believe that time can come again! "

"The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections."

6. "Hey! Git yer hands off m' junk!"

I wish every person with an IQ above Farenheit freezing in the U.S. could see that movie.

In the quote you note above, the best thing about it is that Arquette delivers it with a little dash of JFK. It's a beautiful moment!

7. "Don't worry, scrote.

There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now."



I just love that movie,,

8. It's become the Go-to film

for my whole family. There's ALWAYS a line to fit any given situation.

Recently, after football practice, my son said "Dad, can you get me a Gatorade?"

"Why," I asked.

"Because it's got electrolytes," he replied.

"But what are electrolytes," I queried.

"They're what Ferg craves," he answered.

The boy's fourteen. I have to admit I was pretty proud of him. And yes, we call each other "Scro."


On my show, we've taken to referring to President Obama as "President NotSure." The entire teabaggin' panic may have been because he's unscannable. It's the EXACT metaphor for the whole birth certificate molehill-into-mountain transmogrification.

9. "I'm Secretary of State, brought to you by Carl's Jr. "

Damn movie is non-fiction.

11. I can't believe you like money too. We should hang out!

[notadmblnd]

10. Water? You mean like out- the- toilet?

My son is 17 and we tend to think on the same level. I've caught him asking his friends that question on occasion that they're over and ask for a drink. None of them have seen the movie so they get this blank look on their faces that is priceless.

I don't think it's nice for me to call them scrots though. So I just refer to them as butt monkeys.

13. I think you mean Luke Wilson.

I have a hard time imagining David Arquette playing someone of average intelligence. :)

[GrpCaptMandrake]

15. I think I do, too

It was early, this morning was. So many of them are!

[tridim]

20. Arquette?

I think you mean Luke Wilson. :)

14. "We got ourselves a reader"

The immortal Bill Hicks:

"I was in Nashville, Tennessee last year, after the show I went to a Waffle House, I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me, "Tch tch tch tch. Hey, what you readin' for?".... Is that like the weirdest fucking question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading for. Well, godammit, you stumped me. Why do I read? Well... hmmm... I guess I read for a lot of reasons, and the main one, is so I don't end up, being a fucking waffle waitress.

But then... this trucker in the next booth gets up, stands over me, and goes, "Well, looks like we got ourselves a reader." What the fuck's going on here? It's not like I walked into a clan rally in a Boy George outfit, godammit, it's a book!"

[notadmblnd]

18. lol.. did you actually say that to them?

I've never had a desire to go anywhere south.

Nevermind, I misread your post the first time. It was a Bill Hicks experience.

12. It's got electrolytes!

16. "Idiocracy" is coming true, just like "Network" did. n/t

[the redcoat]
