Wasted a bit of time this morning looking for a picture of the house imploding at the end of Poltergeist, for the benefit of anyone who missed the end because the roast was ready and he really should get the dinner up and the whole movie up to that point was so very stupid (pronouncing it ‘styoopid’). I feel sure there’s at least one out there.

But I did find some fun things to play with this morning. I always run into fun things when I do images searches, because people name their pictures such odd things.

Here’s Spinners Top 20 Worst Song Lyrics Ever. Followed by readers’ choice of the same. I agree with Readers’ #13 — “Guilty feet have got no rhythm” cracks me up every time. Oh, no, Boss — I gots de guilty feets! (Yeah, that was racist. Might as well, right?).

I once read someone giving Morrison a hard time about using “squirming like a toad” — because it was just there to rhymewith “road.” I thought that was pretty unfair. For one thing, if we disqualified all lyrics that used particular words simply because they rhyme, we’d wipe out about 80% of the song catalogue.

And for another — I’m no fan of the Doors — but I always thought “there’s a killer on the road/his brain is squirming like a toad” was a pretty darn good couplet. There isn’t a lot of psycho killer poetry out there.

Bravo.

My eyes. They bleed.

You should have given that fat boy, Barney Frank’s fat head.

No, no, mesa…I took an oath. I only use my Artard Powers for good.

And possibly pornography. Or blackmail. Depends on how hard up I get for money after I quit my job.

I thought that oath was to only use your powers for keeps?

Lord spare us if you ever turn your genius towards evil.

Is there a twilighty zone time-reversal going on with the comments from 12:22 to 12:32?

I don’t know McGoo. That’s very fuckin’ weird. I didn’t touch them and they were in the right order a minute ago.

And “chikin”…isn’t that the word they found carved in a tree at the abandoned colony of Roanoke?

Heh, just having fun playing with the comment edit thingy.

It could certainly make for some interesting comment threads.

Well, it times out after fifteen minutes. So it’s the rare conversation here when comments happen inside the window. In other words, there aren’t many topics that you could go back and edit your remarks and make the remarks that come after look insane or dirty or anything.

Anyway, most people here look insane or dirty just fine all by themselves.

Mesa! Now that was creative! Ya had me goin’ – thats’ for sure.

*McG makes notes to himself to use this later*

Given the state of things lately I’ve decided what I want to do when I grow up: Rodeo Clown School!

They can’t even be embarrassed about it. Hey, let’s fight over how much of the American peoples’ money we can give away. They’ll love us for it.

I am now the #2 Google hit for “barney frank teeth”!!

Not really what I had in mind when I started this thing, but what the hell. Attention is attention, right?

That is stuff is seriously dangerous, Allen. It’s the most manly thing you can do with lipstick on.

Why do cowboys live so long, anyway? They drink, smoke and have generally broken every bone in their bodies at least once. And yet, there are lots of leathered old dudes around.

I might go to one just for the sheer fun of it. They’re putting one on in April up north in Bishop. I mean how cool would that be saying, “I went to Rodeo Clown School.”

Now that would make for a memorable statement on a resume.

Hey, did I ever mention my pack horse was a wild mustang? He does fine as a pack dude, but with a trail saddle. Yee…Ahhh, oof, that hurt. I don’t bounce so well anymore.

Why do cowboys live so long, anyway?

‘Cause they do the animals?

Why do cowboys live so long, anyway?

They have a lot of “alone” time up on the mountain?

Whoa! How the hell did THIS happen? I’m going to have to reconsider calling SNL “Still Not Funny” if they keep this up:

Nicked from Ace. (I also like it because it’s not on YouTube, so I can watch it from work).

Heh. You can see the trouble the gal playing ‘Blinky’ (Pelosi) is having keeping her peepers wide.

Well, sure, PnB. I bet her eyeballs were cracklin’ dry by the end.

I just got a spam from an individual names ERYDAYVIEBARF. Not surprisingly Mister or Miss ERYDAYVIEBARF is in to all things oral. Including oral hygeine.

Jeebus, nearly 8% on the S&P 500. Thankfully, the government is here to help us out. Congress, stop helping! You don’t know squat about anything, except corruption. That you’re most excellent at. OK, I feel a little better now.

I’m gonna let it settle for a while, but I’ll be back in the market near term.

You nailed it! (And what is the difference between a stoat and a weasel?)

GAH!

suddenly, lunch seems, I dunno, kinda unimportant.

A stoat is what Americans call a weasel (and we both call an ermine in her lovely white Winter coat). A weasel in the UK is what we call a least weasel in the US — a very teeny weasel without the black tail tip.

America is also blessed with mustela frenata, the American longtailed weasel, which is like a stoat with a longer tail.

This bailout is just one more example of the indivisible handjob stroking irresponsible CEOs and CFOs with billions so that they can run the American economy even further into the ground. So much for Keynesian economics. If the goal is to stimulate the economy, why not give the money directly to the American taxpayers? We could do twice as much good for the economy by giving half as much money directly to hardworking American taxpayers. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush administration.

Just tuned in. Great horney toadies! Nice work, Weas.

I mean… it would be if… if… if… it weren’t so effin’ true. The look you captured is priceless.

Whoa…check it out. Mazka’s link is to his book on B&N (there’s only one copy left on Amazon, FYI). I have a feeling I wouldn’t agree with it, but I’m so pissed with the lot of ’em in DC at the moment, I can’t bear to stick up for my side.

I’m pissed to at the whole lot of ’em in DC too, but the big shit belongs squarely with the democrats. They caused it, they exacerbated it, and now they totally are in control of it with our money bailing out their friends and contributors.
Ball-less republicans, too effing afraid of being called racists, should have called in the FBI when they found out what Raines, and Frank were doing. Oh no, Fannie and Freddie are solid, how dare you racists imply anything untoward is happening.

For those with kittehs, here’s the final solution for that odor problem…

No need to thank me. It’s all part of my response to the politics of today — look for weird stuff on the intertubesnet thingy.

Shiiiiiiiiiny.

I said early on it was critical to pass the bailout, but folks managed to convince the House Reps to fight against is (I know, the Dems are to blame there as well, but I EXPECT them to be stupid). So, the market tanks, the Congress rushes to pass a bill, but now it is all porked up, and late to boot. Time was of the essence, and we wasted it. We shall pay a heavy penalty for that.

Who knows? We can never know what would have happened if we’d done that other thing.

It’s the promise of history.

I know, weas,(meaning, I KNOW, not I agree) that’s why I was saying we needed to pass the bailout. And I can’t remember if I said it here or at Ace’s, but I promised that taking longer to pass v2.0 wasn’t going to make for a better bill. ACORN was never going to pass, and neither was the free pass on Paulson being the sole judge. But now look what we have. Pork, and slow response. In the week and half we fiddled, we let the ripples extend to Europe and that’s gonna come back and bite us in the fanny like a ferret with sharp, sharp teeth.

Hell, now I want ice cream.

We all scream for icecream.

Icecream, pshaw. I don’t just want pork either, I want pork fat. Pork fat rules.

Hmmm, come to think of it I want every member of Congress force fed chitlins. Here, eat this ya bastards. OK, I guess I’m still a little pissed.

Hey Stoatie. Did you catch the Navy-Chair Force game saturday? The Navy came to Colorado in STYLE this year… 🙂

Kinda OT, but it just dawned on me how truly tragic it would be to leave a cake out in the rain, and I wanted to share my chagrin.

/thanks. I’m done now

MMMmmmm. Pork fat.

Reminds me… need to make some of that bacon-fat mayo this coming weekend and report on it.

Mmmmm. Pork fat.

I wonder if they have bacon-flavored ice-cream?

Porkhawks, serious bad visuals.

On the upside, I’m working on my ladyfriend how going to Rodeo Clown School is a good thing.

This might be a bit uphill. 🙂

Not to worry, jw. I have the recipe. But it takes a long time to bake it.

Which reminds me; I’ve had this little ditty going around in my head for days. Identify it (without peeking) and win …um … well, you win.

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
‘Bout the flappin’ fish and the girls I’ve loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it’s all true
I swear by my tattoo

Ugh. I hope you guys watched that SNL video, because it was really good…and it has been taken down now. Michelle Malkin thinks it’s because the couple at the end and, of course, George Soros are real people.

Real people with a taste for activism and billions and billions of dollars.

Michelle’s got a transcript and some screenshots up. I just noticed the title under George Soros is “Multi Billion Dollar Hedge Fund Manager – Owner, Democratic Party.”

Man, that whole thing was a big ol’ delicious slice of ‘winger pie! (Even the swipes at Bush are funny and entirely deserved). The question isn’t why it was taken off the air, it’s how it ever got on the air in the first place.

This is a kind of a neat short article on army ants. Specifically, on how army ants use their bodies to plug holes in the path, so other ants can run over them to forage for food, thereby increasing productivity by as much as 30%.

Yes, Science News for Kids. What?

It was a funny skit, and I did notice the “Owner, Democratic Party” bit and was surprised that that actually aired. I didn’t think the guy doing Bush did a very good impression, though. He isn’t twitchy and jumpy.

Proof that despite the perceived hivemind tendencies of socialists, they’re more advanced than army ants: they’ve learned to throw other people’s bodies into the holes and walk over them instead.
