Promises, promises.

#2 - Posted by: BrendaKaye on November 11, 2004 06:40 AM

Well, we're WAITING!

#3 - Posted by: McWert Deglieb on November 11, 2004 06:53 AM

That would be 2 (two) happy dances right?

#4 - Posted by: The Meatriarchy on November 11, 2004 07:03 AM

Now if only Fidel Castro and Kim Jong Il would join Arafat in hell, we could really do a happy dance.

#5 - Posted by: AngryCuban on November 11, 2004 07:08 AM

Technically it's still only one. Frank J.: "I should do a happy dance".

Argument 1: He could be talking about the first or perhaps a second Happy Dance. But it's unspecified. Which leads to:

Argument 2: He said SHOULD, not WILL, or VOW. Frank has only promised to do one Happy Dance at this point. And a promise is a promise. Of course all systems of making your word are based upon your honor. Even legal documents.

So you could conclude Frank is not a man of honor. He has not kept his promise thus far. But I don't believe you could argue he owes two happy dances now.

#6 - Posted by: Son of Risasi on November 11, 2004 07:10 AM

You can dance as often as you like with me Frank.

#7 - Posted by: The FLorIdiot on November 11, 2004 07:28 AM

Is it possible he did a happy dance on his own... and didn't blog about it?

Maybe happy dances should be personal and private, allowing us all to meditate and reflect on what a huge effing scumbag Chirac is- he called Arafat a "man of courage".

This just SCREAMS for an "In My World"

#9 - Posted by: FormerHostage on November 11, 2004 07:58 AM

To properly honor Chairman Arafat, Palestinian Suicide Bombers could present themselves at the Compound on Saturday and provide a suitable fireworks display, accompanied with lots of blood, guts and gore.

Of course, no one would be signing any checks to their families - but its all about honoring his memory, right?

My guess on the happy dance is Frank is waiting for the right tech.

May I suggest combining your art skills with flash animation to bring your happy dance to life?

#11 - Posted by: greg zywicki on November 11, 2004 08:19 AM

FRANKJ LIED!!!!

No Happy Dance.

#12 - Posted by: Feleron on November 11, 2004 08:41 AM

Apparently, Israel relenting to allow him to be buried in Ramallah worsened his condition.

Coincidence? I think not.

#13 - Posted by: Steve L. on November 11, 2004 08:50 AM

"Good morning Mr. Arafat.....IAM the REAL GOD, and IAM sorely pissed that you have been killing my people. Let me introduce you to one of my minions, Bezelbub....."

(cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth -- Arafat realizes there are ZERO virgins waiting for him, hell is worse that Ramalah, and Jews run darn near everything "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHH...)

Heck Frank, even the Angels must have done their happy dance by this time. We await, patiently.

#15 - Posted by: Princess Kimberley on November 11, 2004 08:59 AM

I don't think Frank can dance. That's why he's stonewalling.

#16 - Posted by: Beo on November 11, 2004 09:26 AM

I've been waiting for days to post this somewhere. Altogether now, sing ".. he's really most sincerely dead."

#17 - Posted by: Ray_g on November 11, 2004 09:50 AM

You know Frank, the longer it takes you to put up a happy dance, the more we'll expect out of you.

#18 - Posted by: Nony Mouse on November 11, 2004 10:04 AM

fidel is next, barring mishap on the younger kim jong il.

but 1st things 1st. just move your feet. it's easy.

#19 - Posted by: pale rider on November 11, 2004 10:07 AM

Keep stallin' Frank, and we might demand some skin with that happy dance!!

This just keeps up with our theme of "just another dead terrorist", too bad it had to be of natural causes (although the Palestinian spokesman mentioned Poison on Fox News this morning). Why couldn’t he go out in a Blaze of Glory? Why couldn’t a well-placed phosphorous grenade go off near him and slowly turn him into a puddle of goo??

I Know! His 72 Virgins are all Janet Reno clones! I’m sure that she’s still a virgin!

I digress… I’m doing my own “happy dance” on this glorious Veteran’s Day because another of my enemy has been smited! Who’s next? Castro? Kadhafi? Kennedy? They say that celebrities die in threes…. Any volunteers?

OK, maybe it’s tooooo much coffee this morning…..

Nevermind…..

#20 - Posted by: Amer-I-Can on November 11, 2004 10:14 AM

Yea. You Should. Where is it?!

#21 - Posted by: kanecorp on November 11, 2004 10:19 AM

Heh, Arafat is dead. God is probably giving you a mandate to dance now. And you better do it happily too.

#22 - Posted by: Justin C. on November 11, 2004 10:31 AM

Dude, you talk the talk, but can you dance the dance? It's been over a week since the Dark Night of Theocratic Fascism™ fell over the US, and have we seen even one happy dance from Karl Rove's chief chronicler? Nope. Get to it, lad!

#23 - Posted by: David Gillies on November 11, 2004 11:19 AM

What a great month! Kerry defeated, Fallujah falling, Arafat dead! We're on a roll!

#24 - Posted by: Neo-con Samurai on November 11, 2004 11:34 AM

Kimberly-

After your post, I really, really want to see John Cleese smacking Yassir's head against the counter a couple of times...

(thump, thump)

And this morning on the news that had audio of our boys fighting in Fallujah, went something like this:

"Get him! Get him!" [.50 cal fire] "Yeah!"

Ahhh, it's a wonderful day.

#25 - Posted by: Vtwin on November 11, 2004 11:41 AM

I hereby dedicate Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" to Arafat and the terrorists. That's a tune you could use for your dance music for happy dance on this occassion, Frank.

#26 - Posted by: Revandryn on November 11, 2004 11:43 AM

I know y'all were all waiting to hear form Jimmy Carter on this:

From Yahoo.com

Former US President Jimmy Carter called Yasser Arafat “a powerful human symbol and forceful advocate” who united Palestinians in their pursuit of a homeland.

“Yasser Arafat’s death marks the end of an era and will no doubt be painfully felt by Palestinians throughout the Middle East and elsewhere in the world,” Carter said.

“He was the father of the modern Palestinian nationalist movement. A powerful human symbol and forceful advocate, Palestinians united behind him in their pursuit of a homeland,” he said in a statement distributed by his Atlanta, Georgia-based Carter Center.

#27 - Posted by: Sticky B on November 11, 2004 12:31 PM

Gee Allah, why are you wearing red?

#28 - Posted by: Sam Inman on November 11, 2004 01:10 PM

I believe that Frank J will follow up on his promise to happy dance when Yasser Arafat is roasting in hell. Oh, wait, that would be now.

DANCE, MONKEY BOY! (sound of six-guns firing at the floor)

#29 - Posted by: Gullyborg on November 11, 2004 02:01 PM

FlorIdiot, in case you missed it, Frank's got only one girl on his dance card.

#30 - Posted by: sarahk on November 11, 2004 02:12 PM

Beo: "I don't think Frank can dance. That's why he's stonewalling."

Frank can dance if he wants to. He can leave your friends behind! 'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mi-- err.. Frank's.

#31 - Posted by: AWG on November 11, 2004 02:21 PM

And this just in, Arafat is still dead, film at 11:00.
or
Arafat and Hitler are in Hell, both are dressed as upstairs maids, the devil walks in, "Ah Mr. Hitler, Mr. Arafat, here for your 2:00 PM grapefruit!" Fantastic.

PS I don't know about you folks, but I'm doing the Hora as I type!

#32 - Posted by: Connecticut Yankee on November 11, 2004 02:31 PM

"In lieu of flowers, the Arafat family asks that you send three infidels to their maker."

If his obit doesn't read like this, then he died in vain.

#33 - Posted by: humanoverlord on November 11, 2004 03:15 PM

Holy Crap AWG!

Thanks for reminding me how old I am - The Safety Dance for crying out loud

#34 - Posted by: Vtwin on November 11, 2004 03:27 PM

I second Revandryn's idea of the "Happy Dance" danced to "Dead Man's Party". (Thanks to RRN for introducing me to the music of Oingo Boingo.) (And sympathetic sighs to Vtwin...I too am old enough to remember the "Safety Dance"). *tries to get up, bones creaking*

#35 - Posted by: DixieDarlin' on November 11, 2004 03:58 PM

It turns out Arafat really died over the weekend.

The source of the confusion was that Arafat's spokesman was Baghdad Bob.

#36 - Posted by: Bob in Feenicks on November 11, 2004 04:01 PM

I was thinking the IAF should do a little fly-over over Arafat's Funeral...And since they'd be in the area they could....

#37 - Posted by: Xtreme Right Wing on November 11, 2004 04:42 PM

Okay geez guys...

Give it a rest w/ the Arafat thing. And the Happy Dancing. Gaahhh!!

Can't we go back to old stuff like making fun of Al Gore and John Kerry.


#38 - Posted by: Son of Risasi on November 11, 2004 07:18 PM

Maybe we should show our abiding respect for all that Chairman Arafat stood for. Let's send Joe Liberman as our representative to the funeral.

#39 - Posted by: Mike on November 11, 2004 10:23 PM

Humanity rejoices.

Where this leaves Carter, Chirac, Clinton & company, I'm not so sure.

Maybe it's that first initial. I doubt we'd have seen the same behaviour from people named Jarter, Jhirac, and . . oh, never mind.

I think Isreal gave permission for him to be buried in Ramallah a while ago, and the delay was because the PLO needed to do some housecleaning. Ramallah's graveyard - where his father & sister are buried - was used as more of a trash dump than anything else.

I guess that the PLO wasn't big on taking out the garbage, which explains to me how Arafat managed to stay around for so long.

#40 - Posted by: David D on November 11, 2004 10:25 PM

Wouldn't it be cool if the Israelis MOAB'd his grave site?

#41 - Posted by: gaskar on November 12, 2004 07:45 AM

Dear son of risasi:

In answer to your question,

NO!

Danjo
just trying to help

And the terrorist is dead, you have a problem with that?

#42 - Posted by: Danjo on November 12, 2004 11:36 AM

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Enough said.

#43 - Posted by: Scott Sanburn on November 12, 2004 03:02 PM

FRA-A-A-A-NKKKKK... the monkeys are getting restless... I don't know if I can hold them anymore...

#44 - Posted by: Jeff on November 12, 2004 06:35 PM

we should go out into the streets and dance and sing and burn palistinian flags and shoot M16s into the air. just like they did for us on 9/11.
