Spectacular, spectacular
No words in the vernacular
Can describe this great event
You’ll be dumb with wonderment
(Moulin Rouge)
Hey Zette! Right up there, is that even nursing homes in Indiana have plans in case of bomb threats. Who the fuck knew Indiana has elderly people that are such a threat to anyone!
I think this really puts pressure on the terrorists to come up with a really good show. With most of the money cut off to the terrorists I feel they they could not put on a spectacular terrorist act and would have to put on a so so terrorist act. And out of fear of embarrrasment and loss of ratings there will be not terrrorist stike at all. They will have to take off their hats and throw in the towel.
We are at condition yellow, which is “heightened alert status”. We have been at that status since day one. Except when we went up one level for the anniversary. Then we went back to plain old yellow. We have been warned about potential attacks on every thing in the US up to and including the Golden Gate Bridge. Where I live, the Mall of America has been threatened.
And for all this, thousands of bloodthirsty Al Queda maniacs everywhere, not one damn thing has happened since 9/11.
Maybe if we hold a spontaneous victory celebration, giving testimonials to the prescience of The Leader and everybody swears to vote Republican forever, and make our kids swear too, it will go down to “still worried, but not that worried”.
Note: in testimonials and promises like the aforementioned, King’s X or crossing the fingers counts. Just thought I’d mention that. Not that I would, mind you. Somebody else might. But not me. So if Mr. Poindexter’s computer is watching, I just want to emphasize that I mean to join the Tom Delay Fan Club just as soon as I can calm my nerves. Medication. Need some medication.
You know what I discovered while listening to the radio the other day?
There’s an ABBA musical.
Clearly, the terrorists have already struck, and hit hard. In spectacular fashion.
It would be spectacular if the sky fell.
Yes there is an ABBA musical, it has reproduced and festered nationwide. It was called Mamma Mia in a sneaky attempt to blame it on the Italians.
On the other hand, hmmmmmm. Italy. We can take Italy. Hell, Belgium could take Italy.
I work for a childrens book distributor, and some rocket scientist thought we should all start wearing picture ID’s to improve security… Um … theres like 7 people that work in the warehouse dude… I don’t think anyones going to pull a fast one on us… what Al-qaeda going to do here anyway, slip in a few thousand copies of Clifford goes to Kabul or Frog, Toad, and Allah are friends maybe make Ms. Frizzle wear a veil?
Zette does more before lunchtime than most people do all day.
IT’s TRUE!
I saw it in one of them magazines at the check out counter that the terrorists are going to BLOW UP THE INTERNET!
I actually laughed out loud when I read it too.
My favorite part of the local news’ explaination of the warning was “…although the FBI has no details on when, where, or method of attack…” :eyeroll: Don’t they call that free-floating anxiety?
Chicken little, the terrorists will attack! Maybe not today, or near you, or at all, but please worry about it!
“No boom today. Boom tomorrow. Always boom tomorrow.”
“BOOM!”
Well, the voting public/taxpayers need constant reminders that the War on Terror is still far from won. The draconian and expensive anti-terrorism measures are vitally necessary, and not in fact a lame attempt to set up a new, very expensive governemt agency so that all the friends of campaign contributers can have guaranteed employment for the next seventy years.
So we hear vague statements about “high expectations of an attack” or (my own personal favorite) Donald Rumsfeld saying that he has seen classified information (which of course he cannot share for reasons of national security) showing that an imminent attack was thwarted by our heroic security forces, but he can’t tell us any more about it. Oh, and anyone who opposes the latest expensive security measure is unAmerican and a friend of terrorists everywhere.
So we get the Burger-King rejects working “security” at major airports (paid for with our tax dollars), we get to bail out airlines who are suffering because no-one wants to travel in the wake of the terrorist attacks (couldn’t be because the airlines give crappy service after you’ve had to undress in front of some petty-minded brown-shirt at the jetway because you had a nailfile in your suitcase); hellfire, we even have to put up with more and more of Bush-the-Elder’s indicted co-conspirators coming back into government service (Poindexter running a National Security Database? Not even the Onion could make that up)
And in the meantime, the US Military is busy keeping the pot stirred, doing the very things that have caused most of the world to hate us in the first place (and I’m not even considering such gems as shooting up wedding parties or their own allies or each other – that just shows that not all the Burger-King rejects made it into airport security).
Of course not, because the Homeland Security system is working. 
I think that thing scares me more than anything else.
Thanks, yojimbo. Just when I thought I’d finally gotten my sister’s Moulin Rouge impressions out of my head…
You too, jjtm. Stop all Moulin Rouge references in this thread NOW. I mean it. 
“It’s all coming back to me now…” (Celine Dion)
:eek: Not another reminder of my sister! It’s all because of this “spectacular” terrorist attack, I’m a-telling you! Run for the hills! (then again, even if you were to hide in the hills for aye, the terrorists might get you, too)
So is Gimli the dwarf character in the Lord of the Rings? This one has been bugging me for a few days… ever since Spoz brought it up, of course. 
By the way, if there is a spectacular terrorist attack sometime soon, it’s probably because of my mom registering for a new “weird” email address. Or at least, that’s what she would have you believe. :rolleyes:
(classic understatement, though she’s more well-known for exaggerating things)
I think not. If they want to attack, they’ll attack… and whatever our email addresses are will have zero to do with it.
