Man, I wanna make someone’s clit go POW POW POW! That just sounds awesome.  
I need to become a lesbian!

I’ll pass on the Bang Bang Bang though. That sounds painful. Though it did remind me of this [old flash vide](http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/bang)o from like 6 years ago…

Because they’re the people who are all about “getting government out of our lives”. By “our” they mean “my” and by “out” they mean “into yours”.

Email shit, if you put this up as a MySpace bulletin it would circle the globe in about 10 minutes.

I’d like to have this as an audiobook read either by Bill Hicks or George Carlin.

That renders the sentence grammatically incorrect.

Reading the Bible? I don’t read no stinking Bible! There’s a lot of hateful shit in there.

Don’t teh gay have computers? I’m glad I’m straight; Gawd loves me so much that I haven’t balanced a checkbook in years. I hope the Radical Homosexual Agenda doesn’t convert my son; online banking is where it’s at.

As one of the MSNBC election commentators put it on Tuesday night, “Liberalism always wins in the country eventually.”

He sounded pretty happy about it, too.
