A lot of people say to me, “Frank, your blog is the best.”
To which I say, “Yes, it is the best. Of the other blogs out there, it is better.”
But why is it the best? Here are some of the reasons I could think of:
WHY IMAO IS THE BEST BLOG
* It doesn’t update all the time so you have to spend all day here.
* Not too many readers so that the comment sections don’t gets too crowded.
* Lot’s of ads to help you figure out what to buy.
* Tackles tough issues that other blogs are too scared to, like arming dinosaurs.
* Approved by the FDA as a treatment for both depression and constipation.
* 70% of all sentences on the blog are grammatical.
* It has a pleasant smell.
Why do you think IMAO is the best blog?
Why do you think IMAO is the best blog?
Because of its high “veeshir” content.
IMAO: Cracker friendly since 2001
IMAO is the best because Zod is a contributing Blogger. Whit Zod on your side, you can’t lose. Unless Superman starts to meddle again. Stock up on Kryptonite.
IMAO: Not too proud to bleg.
“it’s the smell!”
“Approved by the FDA as a treatment for both depression and constipation.”
Oh, belly laughs. Thanks Frank.
and spacemonkey reminds me of another reason,
Becuase of the perfect grammer an spelingg.
The “high Veeshir content” is somehow wrapped-up his (?) “funniest end to civilization ever” – a subject that apparently needs (choose one) much / no elucidation since IMAO is covering it.
Woo hoo! Spacemonkey. Now we’re “cookin’ with gas.”
it cures depression and causes fits of laughter
It causes various beverages (coffee in the AM, gatorade or coke in the afternoon) to get sprayed on my stupid old-fashioned 17″ CRT at work. One of these days Frank or Harvey will short out that old thing and I’ll finally get a decent LCD display.
Biden said that this is one of the few places left that’s free of swine flu.
It is the last place one can speak freely of ninjas.
This blog is the best because it tells it like it … would be if the world were patrolled by Cheney’s army of questionably trained yet highly weaponized early reptiles.
Which site is IMAO again…is that the one with that gay guy that makes fun of celebrities?
* Picture of pretty girl with a gun
* Picture of mushroom cloud on moon
* Smell improved dramatically over early days
* Impressive list of major awards
* Automated avatarizing algorithm
* Seamless mixture of blog owner and sock puppets in comments
[Not really — Ed.]
* Three words: Cheap, Cheap, Cheap!
I agree Ed.. the sockpuppeting isn’t so seamless.
Good for insomnia
Palatable after a morning of beating up Hippies and a big leisurely lunch.
Best Blog ever because –
1) I get dumber every time I come here
2) Blog is totally non-homosexual
3) Fred Thompson is Amused!
1:the Fraggle Rock references
2:I agree the hot chick with gun and mushroom cloud are awsome
3:liberals hate this site (the few that know about it that is)
4:could we get more hot chicks with guns that could only make it even better than the best site ever
5:that homeland security checks this site out. (so you know it’s got be good)
IMAO is best because…
“Fred is Amused”
Hippy Punching encouraged here
Better to laugh than cry as we witness the end of America as the Founders intended
Sarah Palin-friendly
lolteritz and lolbamas
the commenters
Frank and his many
bloggerspersonalitieshippie punching should become a sport.
It doesn’t suck as bad as the others.
The price is what keeps me coming back. That, and there’s this one dude who comments here from time to time who goes by AlanABQ. Now that guy, he ought to be on television. Or at least talk radio…
>Hugely Funny without having to resort to Ace-style profanity.
>Proof that sufferers of Multiple Personality Disorder CAN be productive members of society.
>Great place to jack ideas from to write about in my own blog.
Free unicorns.
IMAO is best because when I first started reading it I thought the blog title meant the author was imitating Chairman Mao.
When I figured out that was not the case, it made much more sense, in a manner of speaking (not Chinese, anyway, some other manner of speaking).
The Nuke the Moon post, the Ten Rules of Gun Control (now part of a lawsuit at a major university!) and other early work is hard to beat, which is likely why the current authors don’t seem to try so hard to do so anymore. Makes for low expectations from readers and that frequently means I am pleasantly surprised.
Smell is ok, could use less patchouli….
Not as many Meghan McCain posts as there are at Hot Air.
Unlike most blogs, it doesn’t make my privates itch.
IMAO is the best blog because:
You don’t have to be literate to read it
You can mention simians and that guy in the White House in the same sentence
You can clone a dinosaur
None of Franks personalities are juice — yet, cause unicorns are still free
Michelle malkin is too cute to post here
The cartoon awards pictures are still better than a real liberal
Imao is most awesome because 1. It has no monetary fee’s. 2. It doesn’t cost me any money to post here. 3. It has a most impressive award from RightWingTink. 4. Can you get me a date with her? 5.It’s low in cholesterol. 6. It’s high in vitamins and minerals people my age need, and 6. Can you PLEASE get me a date with her?
IMAO is the best because it looks eerily similar to our corporate-mandated desktop background, so no one can tell I spend all day here.
Because it goes great with Tabasco sauce!
It just are, man. You just are. aND i useta wanna work for the FDA.
smell ya later!
Because Fred Thompson mentioned it on his radio show.

——-
Someone’s gotta put you some knowledge.
Did you like my ‘award’, Harvey? Prolly not since ya dinna post it. Oh well. Ace and IMAO are my top reads.
Oh, and what makes this place the bestest? The fact that it insists upon itself. I was gonna say the smell but that might be coming from under my mouse pad.
With more chicks with guns it could become the Bestest ever site of all time.
I know of no other blog with a URL that is only 6 letters – it is the perfect blog for the extremely lazy.
I lik3 IMAO bcuz it makz m3 LMAO!!!1!!11!
IMAO is an oasis in the desert, a floatation device in choppy seas, a vacation when it’s needed most, protein diet for the carnivore in us all, psychiatric therapy without the psychiatrist’s bill. Plus all of the aforementioned stuff.
I like it cuz Frnak and Hervay and speciesmonkey and that spice guy (Oregano?) tollerate all us idjits. Speaking of Basil-Oregano, where the heck is he?
* RON PAUL
rOn pAuL
Ron Paul.
Ron Paul.
Ron Paul.
Why is IMAO the best?
Cuz ya’ll is smart/funny.
Most places are dummy/funny and that’s just not funny unless your an adolecent boy or a liberal.
And you’re nice to the girls here, even though you like to talk about boy stuff from time to time (dinosaurs, high tech crap, nuking things).
No profanity…that’s a good thing.
Yeah, I like hanging out with smart guys who don’t cuss much and are nice to the girls.
Has everyone forgotten no one can talk about monkeys? I am so tired of going to all those other sites and all day long in every posting it’s monkey this, monkey that, monkey see, monkey do, wow, am I tired of all the monkey business at those other places. But there is no monkey-ing around here.
That’s what did it for me here anyway, since then IMAO is a barrel full of monkeys, oops, did I say monkey?
Pammy. I was gonna say (earlier) that this place could be improved with even more female commenters ’cause Conservative women have beautiful brains, of course. (And they’re hot and we know it… and ah, let’s see… Um…)
IMAO: F**K YEAH, MUTHAF**KERS!!!
(Sorry, Pammy. I had to do it. But you know you’re still my homie, right?)
No annoying, out-of-place apostrophe’s
Great source for email ideas making fun of outrages in O administration to send to O voter friend. (When really good, she forwards to other O voters:)
Important since “MSM comedy writers” (Letterman’s Scheft) say they don’t make fun of O because he’s “a little too damn competent and we ain’t used to that.”
Thanks for, “What sounds more like it would be the name of a 20th hijacker: Limbaugh or Obama?” Working on a Wanda Sykes email with that as the punch line.
One thing I can not stand about the site & you share it with BlackFive is that when I change the size of the window the text frame shrinks but the sides do not. Other than that I check it every day.
1. superb investigative reporting, e.g., discovering the source of Glenn Reynolds’s boundless energy
2. In My World
3. LOL Terizt
4. John Edwards Fabulous Facts
5. the Christmas logo
6. Know Your Enemy
7. funniest commenters in the blogosphere
* JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE! http://www.imao.us/archives/009342.html
It’s OK Alan BBQ….appropriate cussing is fine, constant cussing looses it’s effectiveness. Lets just say once I had kids, I had to clean up the vocab…..sometimes (a lot) it still slips out.
And Jimmy: You’re always very kind, repespetful and complimentary to us gals…Thank You! (you know a liberal woman would take offense to your above comment!)
PammyV. Of all people, I do understand the connection between the mental and the physical. Conservative women’s brains are worth their weight in gold because they know how to think! For us Conservative guys, this is THE virtue of virtues. (AND they’re hot. Heheheehe. And you know it. That’s why there’s hardly any ‘sexism’ between the Conservative sexes. Conservative men and women know what they want and need.) (I’ll be here all night running a radio philosophy/sex hotline. 😉 )
This site is the best because you guys didn’t drink the Kool-Aid…..
I would like to point out that I already pointed out the pleasant smell, or at least the lack of unpleasant odor when I presented the “You Don’t Stink” Award. See, that award become more awesome with each passing day!
IMAO is the best because I like it…
Let me just say that I like IMAO because I’d rather hang out with you guys than with the finest people on the planet…and I mean that.
😉
Of all the Blogs in the Universe it’s got to be top 500.
(wherein AlanABQ hopes nobody else watched M.A.S.H.)
Because you can steal jokes here and nobody will call you on it.
Aw Alan that’s soooooooo sweet.
I come to IMAO to hear the real news. Not that watered down Drudge stuff ; ) Oh and Troll target Practice (TTP), I really like that. Although it isn’t really sporting to participate in a fight where some of the contestants are unarmed, still it’s all about teh funny. I also come to vent, that way no one here dies on the edge of my Claymore.
I also come to read the comments of awesome posters and to be flattered by some of the most gallant, generous, mentally attractive men on the planet. If brains had actually bodies you’s guys would all look like Tom Selleck. (not that you don’t already-I just don’t know that).
IMAO is the best because all the commenters here are like characters in a Frank J. Flemming “In My World.”
And because I look like Tom Selleck.
And because Fleming is spelled with one ‘m’, of course.
Seanmahair-
It’s true; I totally look like Tom Selleck. Or at least I would if he had a 10′ goatee, shaved his head, had fighting scars that are less noticeable now that the steady increase in body fat from too much BBQ (as PammyV inadvertently alluded to) is stretching them out a bit…
But, y’know – aside from all that – totally Magnum P.I.-ish.
I so believe that. I am a Sandra Bullockisk type female. Of course I’m older, rounder, and not nearly as talented (I am conservative which I think balances out the talent part), but other than that Sandy and I could be twins ; P.
I love you guys. Truly.
We love you too, Seanmahair.
IMAO is the best because it’s like ‘Cheers’.

(I’d want to be the guy at :45, 2nd from the left.)
Because it keeps us suicidal professional Russian Roulette contestants from re-thinking our career choices.
