3^2-th Carnival of Comedy

Posted by on

Welcome to The 3^2-th Carnival of Comedy

Short intro this week and yes I know the carnival is later than advertised. And for good reason. What is the good reason? Exactly.

We are asking for constructive criticism on the entries this week, so I numbered the entries to make it simpler to reference the ones you are giving the critique of.

The object here is NOT TO CRITICIZE SPACEMONKEY. Simply put, I can’t take it. I can however, dish it out.

Constructive criticism is what we are looking for here.
If you as a submitter to the carnival don’t want to read criticism of your work, don’t read the comments.

If you as a reader love an entry, comment in both places assuming they have comments.
Surf with care this week as I have not previewed all the posts for content. There may be some profanities or vulgarities might encounter that there are no warnings about. I wanted to review them for the first time after posting the Carnival.

Manufactured With Pride in the USA

Posted by on

While reading Blackfive, I noticed this:

“What Durbin faced [in reaction to his comparison of US troops to Nazis] was the bubbling up from the blogs and the pounding of the drums,” said Daou, who first began monitoring the bloggers and feeding them information when he worked for Sen. John Kerry’s presidential campaign. “This is a political tool, and it’s manufactured outrage, it’s feigned outrage, and it’s extremely effective.”…

Yes, it IS extremely effective.
Why?
Because since 2002, IMAO has consistently manufactured only the highest quality outrage. Accept no inferior substitutes!
Made to the most exacting specifications at our state-of-the-art production facilities in Florida, Wisconsin, Alabama, and California, ALL our outrage is 100% American made from the finest pique, fury and indignation.
Looking for peevishness, huffs, or hissy-fits? Try France – because you won’t find any of that girly crap here.
When you shop from the IMAO catalog, you’ll find only durable, long-lasting products, such as acrimony, anger, bile, gall, hatred, ire, rage, wrath, and the occasional blood-oath of vengeance.
Why settle for petty peevishness when you can have black-hearted murderousness?
For all your manufactured outrage needs, think quality.
Think IMAO.
OR WE’LL STRANGLE YOU DEAD! RARRR!

My Book – Inside IMAO

Posted by on

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I’m excited. In fact, I haven’t been this excited since Howard Dean was chosen to lead the DNC. (Sigh, let’s take a moment to count our blessings)
Anyway, I’ve been watching TV lately – which is not something I typically do. I saw that that some of the Jackson jurors were writing books. Really, what is there to say?
Interviewer: So you wrote a book?
Juror: Yes, it’s called “Please, We’re Really Not a Bunch of Idiots. Stop making fun of us.”
Interviewer: Did you get help with the big words.
Juror: No, I was able to… hey!!!
To top that- Runaway Bride Jennifer Wilbanks, the only woman to have a bridal party AND a search party, has announced that she will be selling her story. Really. I can just picture those chapter titles now…
“Tips for how to cut your own hair”
“Faking it. No the other faking it. The disappearance.”
“False accusations – maneuvering the PC landscape”
Yes, she’s selling her story and making a pretty penny. All after having settled with her county over the reimbursement of search party expenses.
So why am I excited? Opportunity!! Here now is a major announcment.

I’ll See Ya Later

Posted by on

Forgot about how I’m having a little vacation and really don’t have time for posting today or tomorrow. I wanted to run with the idea of targeting some innocuous Democrat for an apology on a non-controversial statement, but that will have to wait until Monday unless someone else wants to pick it up (I haven’t even had a chance to read the comments to the post).
Later, y’all.
