After the mother-killin’ and bear-rapin’.
See? I’m not a liberal hippie peacenik and I can drop Arlo Guthrie references!
Given elucidator’s preoccupation with bedwetting and undies, perhaps another explanation is in order.
Ooooh, a zinger! You got the same writer as Dick Cheney?
Actually, it’s a serious question. If you’re not here for the discussion. If you are just trying to piss people off. If you are just trying to be extreme and get reactions.
What do we call that?
I thought 'luci’s OP had potential and I’m a sorry the Cons took the literal bait rather than the obvious comic absurdity and run with that. Perhaps they’re feeling a little sensitive at the moment . . .
And, elucidator, urine a bad way if you can’t handle a little yellow journalistic commentary.
Actually, I’ve never minded elucidator much. He’s sort of the Steve Balboni of the Left. Every once in a great while he connects with some valid point.
Most often though, he’s ringing up yet another Golden Sombrero.
Get it? Golden Sombrero?
Hah! I slay me.
Do.
(I got no idea who Steve Balboni is. So that may be a pretty good joke.)
And you guys wonder why nobody takes the Democrats seriously anymore.
“Hey, they say not to go to war! They say not to slash taxes! They say to be nice to minorities! They say… oh, wait, they’re just joking! Carry on as normal, old boys!”
This is a copy of the note I sent to the university’s publicity department.
No response yet…
IS TOO!!!
Actually, Eolbo, conservatives respond best to under-the-table bribes, backhanded business deals, or strawberry shortcake.
Like I am going to give my strawberry shortcake to mental defectives!
You’ll be giving us under-the-table bribes? Bonus! I’ll take mine in unmarked treasury bonds.
Diogenes, despite evidence to the contrary, conservatives do have a sense of humor. Granted, it’s often a mean-spirited, comedically-mistimed excuse to kick the underdogs, but it does qualify as humor. Check out some of these gems from righty-tighty humorist Rush Limbaugh:
“Have you ever noticed how all newspaper composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
“I think the reason why girls don’t do well on multiple choice tests goes all the way back to the Bible, all the way back to Genesis, Adam and Eve. God said ‘All right, Eve, multiple choice or multiple orgasms, what’s it going to be?’”
“We’re in bad shape in this country when you can’t look at a couple of huge knockers and notice it.”
“One of the things I want to do before I die is conduct the homeless Olympics. … [Events would include] the 10-meter Shopping Cart Relay, the Dumpster Dig, and the Hop, Skip, and Trip.”
“If we’re going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people – I’m serious, let the unskilled jobs, let the kinds of jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do – let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.”
…What, aren’t you laughing yet? :rolleyes:
You’re joking, right?
A ‘slugger’ in the American League, mostly with the Kansas City Royals. he had home run power and managed to knock a decent number out of the park. But most often he swung wildly and missed and had a low batting average.
Lifetime .229 hitter, led the American League in strikeouts in '85.
If it makes you feel better, I consider december to be the Marvelous Marv Throneberry of the Right.
[sigh]
Awright, whothehell is Marvelous Marv Throneberry? You’re making this up, right?
coldfire, what are you talking about? If december posted an OP stating that liberalism was a mental disorder, he’d do it because he actually believed it.
I see you are sadly deficient in American baseball lore.
Marvelous Marv was one of the most famous/notorious of the original Amazin’ Mets. Also had some power, but negated it through a hilarious level of ineptitude on the field, losing pop flies in the lights, crashing into other players etc.
One story has him belting a deep drive to the wall and steaming happily into third, only to be tagged out because he had missed second base. When Casey Stengel came out to protest to the ump, it was gently explained to him that Marv had missed first base as well.
