Thieves Described As “Wearing Brown Coats”

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Saw this story:

Thieves scaled a wall at a pharmaceutical warehouse over the weekend, cut a hole in the roof and rappelled inside to steal about $70 million in antidepressants and other prescription drugs, authorities said Tuesday.

Hmmm… that sounds familiar.

And based on this little snippet:

No vehicles were reported stolen from the site or nearby, so it’s believed they arrived with one or more vehicles large enough to transport the dozens and dozens of pallets of drugs, he said.

I just gotta ask the readers near Enfield, Connecticut…

Did anybody happen to notice a suspicious-looking Firefly class transport ship in the area last Sunday?

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:


PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolterizt! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.

#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.

MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.

STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.

HAT TIP: Brian of Snapped Shot’s magnificent EvilFeed – the world’s best source for ripe-for-captioning terrorist photos.

Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.

Need Pictures of Terrorists?

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Brian of Snapped Shot (perhaps best known for having the AP threaten to eat his brains for using their pictures), introduces EvilFeed.

Here’s how Brian describes it:

What I’ve put together here is the ultimate news photo aggregation source for just about every country involved in what has been referred to as the “Axis of Evil.” Iran, Syria, and a handful of terror groups. All presented to you, the reader, in a completely virus- and tracking-free format, so you can get a firsthand look at these nations’ official photo feeds without worrying about what’s going to happen to your computer.

If you’re looking for lolterizt! captioning material (and aren’t we all?), this is a great place to start.

Second Scariest Sentence: “We’re From The Government, And We’re Not Going To Do It To You”

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

In 1992, Dan Quayle said this:

“[i]t doesn’t help matters when primetime TV has Murphy Brown — a character who supposedly epitomizes today’s intelligent, highly paid, professional woman — mocking the importance of fathers, by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another ‘lifestyle choice.’”

And was derided as an intellectual Lilliputian for the rest of his life by the my-own-fart-sniffing leftist elites.

So, if a member of Obama’s cabinet were to speak directly to a cartoon city, you’d think she’d be tarred, feathered and tossed into a septic tank, right?

Apparently not, because I haven’t heard much about this bit of brain-dead galumphery from EPA head Lisa Jackson:

Last April, Jackson gathered a small band of managers to watch “The Simpsons Movie,” which in 2007 portrayed the EPA head as its main villain. In the movie, the agency head disastrously builds a dome over the fictional town of Springfield to contain its lake pollution and its residents.

The hurtful portrayal, Jackson said, highlights that citizens are nearing a point where they don’t trust the agency. Under her watch, the agency would never dome off a town. “No, we’re not going to do it to you, Springfield, wherever you might be,” she said.

Personally, I’m still waiting for the FCC to offer its reassurances to the Griffins.

How To Deal With The Health Care Bill

Saturday, March 6th, 2010
“Less frightening than Obamacare”

I’m watching this health care debacle, much as I’ve done for the last – what… year now? – and I’m trying to understand the dynamics.

I don’t know how many times it’s been proposed, amended, introduced, and re-introduced since it first set its diseased, cloven hoof on the political scene. I’ve also lost count of how many times it’s been rejected in Town Halls, protests, polls, and elections.

All I know is that it comes at us and we kill it

Then it gets back up & keeps coming.

Obviously Obamacare is some species of undead monster. And if Hollywood has taught me anything (besides the fact that the Superman franchise in unsalvageable now matter how many times you re-boot it), it’s that all undead monsters can be re-deadified, but you have to do it right.

For example:

—–
Werewolves: silver bullet

Zombies: head shot

Vampires***: cross, garlic, silver, sunlight, decapitation, wooden stake through the heart, immolation.
—–

Upon searching this list for common denominators, it seems that a silver bullet to the head would pretty much kill anything.

Thus the only remaining problem is finding the head on a 18-inch tall stack of papers covered in socialistic lawyer-speak, a task akin to finding the head on a tribble.

Sadly, however, it could be that health care bills – being headless – are simply impervious to standard re-deadification techniques, meaning that we’re dealing with some sort of Michael Myers/Jason Vorohees/Freddy Krueger thing.

Now, I haven’t seen all 27 of those movies, so I’m a little fuzzy on the complete list of techniques attempted, other than to note that nothing that was tried actually worked.

So, if all else fails, we’ll probably just have to take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

—————————–

*** Re: Sparkly Vampires – By definition, sparkly vampires are not real vampires, much as iron pyrite (which is also sparkly) is not real gold. As far as I know, the only way to get rid of sparkly vampires is to throw the DVD in the microwave and hit the “popcorn” button.

Happy Thought of the Day

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Harry Reid said during a floor speech regarding his $15 billion “jobs” bill:

“I had met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand. Why? Men don’t have jobs.”

Fred Thompson tweeted:

Reid: Jobless men = domestic abuse. Is he saying we should be worried about Mrs. Reid after the November elections?

and made Harry Reid cry:

Harry Reid’s spokesman isn’t laughing at Fred Thompson’s Wednesday tweet — musing whether the majority leader would beat his wife if he loses reelection in November — calling the comment “despicable” and invoking Reid’s own violence-plagued childhood.

“While Fred Thompson may think he was being funny, it is unfortunate and disappointing that so many on the right would make light of domestic abuse,” Jim Manley wrote me in an e-mail. “As someone who witnessed it firsthand as a child, Sen. Reid does not find the issue funny.”

Apparently Fred was mistaken, and what Reid was really saying was “only a wife-beater would vote against my bill.”

Because I Hate Turncoats

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

13 “Republican” Senators apparently failed to get the message of Scott Brown’s election, and voted for Harry Reid’s stupid-ass $15 billion “jobs” bill.

Including Scott @#$%ing Brown.

And these punch-bowl turds wonder why the Tea Party is declaring independence from them.

Here’s a clue, GOPers, tattoo it on your voting arm:

Any bill that does not reduce either taxes, spending, or regulation shall not be passed, but taken out behind the Capitol building, peppered with birdshot until it is unreadable, urinated upon by rabid dogs, and used to stuff the mattresses of Gitmo detainees.

Learn it, live it, love it.
