The Roundup: Monday July 16th
Welcome to IMAO, the site that entertains but also teaches you stuff you probably didn’t know. In fact, our site is even more important now that the schools in England are going to stop teaching things like history. This is good since England has always been our biggest competitor. Check out this link. Schools will be de-emphasizing people like Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King in order to emphasize current issues, like global warming and nutrition. This will give people some important context: Teacher: Nigel, what is the difference between Martin Luther King and Global Warming? Bye Bye, History. ** When it comes to global warming, this guy didn’t perform at a concert, but deserves a mention. This British Olympic swimmer, Lewis Gordon Pugh, decided to go for a 1 kilometer swim. (I believe a kilometer is 2.2 pounds.) Anyway, this guy jumps into the water of the North Pole, at 28 degrees Fahrenheit, showing his love and concern for the environment and highlighting the issue of global warming. I’d have to check my records, but I believe that this feat was not even done by Winston Churchill himself. This swimmer really cares. At the press conference you could see the lumps in his throat. Or those could have been his testicles. 28 Degrees!
Are you craving Chinese food. Many people are dying for it. Did I say for? I meant FROM. Anyway, with all of the latest incidents of food poisoning from Chinese food products, China has taken important action: They’ve put a ban on food from seven American meat importers. This doesn’t seem to be fair. So there might be a case of salmonella among some of that chicken; does it matter? I mean, the Chinese eat rats! Check this out and then say, bye bye lunch. In China, a flooded lake has caused many rats to flee and get caught. What happens to these rats, they end up being sold for food. Yup, that’s the truth! That’s okay you have to understand Chinese culture. For example, in China, nothing’s worse than cooking up rats in your restaurant and having the food inspector come in and bust you with American chickens. Those things are gross.
Customer: I do not like the taste of this rat!
Technically, he isn't. Unless he gets caught.
** From rats to Barry Bonds, this is in no way any kind of transition. Barry Bonds is close to breaking the major league record for all time homeruns. He’s only a handful of homeruns from surpassing Hank Aaron’s current record. So what has he done lately? Nothing. In his last 20 at bats, he’s had zero hits. After his last game, he was so despondent; he told the reporters that he was ashamed of wearing the Giants uniform. Poor Barry. Sounds like somebody could use a boost. Or in his case, a booster shot. Despite his setbacks, I have to say I’m proud of Barry- Twenty something years after he started playing baseball, he really has grown a lot. When he started out, he was not only afraid of inside fastballs, he was also afraid of needles. ** This little tidbit strikes me as funny. This guy, confessed killer Bruce Mendenhall, once ran for mayor in Illinois. This makes sense, I did some research and discovered that at one point, he bragged about being endorsed the AARP. Turns out he meant the American Association of Revengeful Psychopaths. Remember: It’s a bad sign when your candidate has his bumper stickers printed on duct tape. It's a worse sign when he asks if you'd be willing to wear it on your wrists. ** What’s the more threatening thing you can think of? Truckstop killer? How about Mother and Toddler on plane? You’re right! A mother and her toddler son were booted off their flight when the boy irritated some of the flight attendants of ExpressAir. He was looking at another airplane taking off saying, “Bye Bye, Airplane.” He kept repeating this over and over. Turns out that this is the WRONG thing to say on an Airplane. Wrong Thing to Say: Bye Bye, Airplane If you find yourself in this situation, remember this bit of parenting advice: Correct Thing to Say: Bye Bye, Luggage. Now, the airline is defending itself saying that if a passenger is understood to be compromising the safety of passengers or crew, or if a passenger undermines a crew member's "authority as the person responsible for safety" on board, they may be removed from the aircraft. The mother doesn’t think the toddler was a safety issue. The airline is making things up just to create this controversy. I think this might become another Gulf Of Tonka incident.
Sometimes we just have to admit that some people do not like kids. For example, this restaurant in Chicago has an area for Adults Only. It means that they won’t be disturbed by screaming kids. This might offend you, but I think it’s a GREAT idea. Although I’d like to see it apply to every demographic. At the Restaurant..

The 'kid free' thing is a GREAT idea. I love kids, but sometimes you need to have a break from the fussiness and of course the parents using their 'talking to the kids' voice. Parent: Come on, Bobby, eat your veggies. It never ends, either. #1 - Posted by: ChrisA on July 16, 2007 08:20 PMAnyway, with all of the latest incidents of food poisoning from Chinese food products, China has taken important action: They’ve put a ban on food from seven American meat importers. Breaking News: Ron Paul Dominating in Military Campaign Contributions. More than any other GOP candidate! One might think such criticism of the war and the Commander-in-Chief's leadership would make Paul a pariah to the military community, however, the latest figures indicate the antiwar Republican is receiving more donations from employees of the US military than any other Republican candidate. #3 - Posted by: Sarcasm Man on July 16, 2007 11:03 PMHe's concerned about liquid water at the North Pole. In July. It's called "summer". C'mon, Fart Chasm Man, even the military has lefty crybabies who just wanna go home 'cause they only signed up for the college money - never dreaming they might have to go and get shot at. Mercifully, they are few. But hey, don't let that stop you from giving all your money to Ron Paul... #5 - Posted by: bunkerboy on July 16, 2007 11:30 PMI think the kid-free section is an excellent idea. I freaking hate screaming brats and their spineless parents. #6 - Posted by: Adam on July 17, 2007 12:44 AMIf the idiot was concerned about liquid water at the North Pole, maybe he shouldn't have had a Russian ice-breaker take him up there and make the freaking hole...What a MAROON!...a real gorean ecotard! The last time my wife and I ate out we sat in the "English only" section of the place. The spit-sauce on the asparagus was wonderful, but the sputum/oyster salad dressing was divine. Oh, and when my kids were bothering people around us in a restaurant, I found these phrases to be particularly useful: "What are you lookin' at carpface?! Do you hear me complaining about the 800 pounds of ugly sitting at your table?! If you don't like being around kids, why don't you take your happy meal and go?!" That and pelting them with french fries usually got them to either leave or shut up so we could enjoy a peaceful meal. Heh, last one very good. me likes. #8 - Posted by: HKPistole on July 17, 2007 04:30 PMMy question is this: Can we take this post as proof of life, thus freeing the J's from suspicion for offing RWD? #9 - Posted by: DesertElephant on July 17, 2007 07:22 PM28 Degrees? Bah! Regularly encountered by any man of the U.S. Submarine force who's ever done a Bluenose Ceremony. He's a wuss. He got to go home after he got cold--perhaps he should have finished with 3 or 4 months under the pack ice. Perhaps he could have campaigned against something useful to be rid of, like communism. #10 - Posted by: Sean G on July 18, 2007 08:39 AMPost a comment
