lolbama! Part 37

Posted by on

This week, That One. Next week, terrorists. Submit for either at lolterizt@gmail.com

Meanwhile, pass ’em around, spread the love, and if you make your own, don’t be shy about dropping a link to your pics in the comments. The more, the merrier.

NOTE TO READERS: Hovering your mouse over the picture activates closed captioning for the l33t-speak/txtmsg impaired.

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

PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! 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.

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.

IMAO Reader Theater: “A Foolproof Plan”

Posted by on

Wacky Hermit of Organic Baby Farm presents: “A Foolproof Plan”

Funny… I could swear I heard a very similar plan proposed somewhere else just last month…

Take a hippie-punch at fame by creating your own IMAO-worthy video at Xtranormal (“If you can type, you can make movies“). Send a link to harvolson-at-gmail.com and I’ll give it a look. If it isn’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, I’ll post it and let the readers throw roses and/or tomatoes at you.

Nuclear Retaliation Policy

Posted by on

President Obama is changing our nuclear retaliation policy, saying we won’t even use nukes in response to chemical or biological attacks. This is all to assure the world we won’t nuke them even though we probably will one of these days.

I don’t like assuring the world we won’t nuke them. My nuclear retaliation policy would be quite different.

PRESIDENT FRANK J.’S NUCLEAR RETALIATION POLICY

We will use nuclear retaliation under the following conditions:

1. We don’t like a country.

We will not use nuclear retaliation under the following conditions:

1. We’re out of nukes.

Also, I would reserve the right for preemptive strikes against natural satellites.

“I Never Considered Myself a Maverick”

Posted by on

Also: never squinted, never killed McAble.

Here’s what Senator John McCain told a reporter:

“I never considered myself a maverick.”

I’m not really against John McCain’s reelection — yes, he often violently sodomizes conservatives on occasion, but that’s just part of his charm. Still, that’s quite a bit of convenient rewriting of history in time for the Republican primary. What’s that equivalent to?

John Kerry saying, “I never said I served in Vietnam.”

Al Gore saying, “I never considered global warming a great threat.”

Barrack Obama saying, “I never made any statements about hope or change.”

Sarah Palin saying, “I never made any comparisons between me and a pitbull.”

Mr. T saying, “I never pitied a fool.”

Me saying, “I never said anything about nuking the moon.”

Snarf from the Thundercats saying, “I don’t recall ever saying, “Snarf”, snarf snarf.”

Anyway, might as well enjoy arch-conservative McCain while he’s around.

Can We Repeal?

Posted by on

Doctor Zero has a good article on how we have to keep fighting for repeal of Obamacare. But can we repeal? It’s tempting to say no based on the history of entitlements, but you have to remember that America is basically a lake of black swans. Everything we do is new an unprecedented, and you can’t make a very exact analogue to anything else in history. What would be really unexpected is for things to go just as everyone expects.

So while I’m tempted to be in the “You can’t do it! It’s impossible!” crowd, I really don’t know and it’s certainly worth trying. Keep that in mind with who you support this November.

Random Thoughts

Posted by on

We currently have the most women ever in space at once (four), in case you were wondering why the earth seemed so quiet.

Majority of Tea Party members are women, so what has caused women to become racist? Hormones?

If Obama’s pitch hit someone in the crotch, GOP would have accused him of staging it for America’s Funniest Home videos. That’s projection.

No one ever says, “This looks like a job for the Scarlet Pimpernel!”

I could make fun of the pitch Obama threw, but that’s too childish. Instead, I’m going to make fun of his ears.

McCain says he never considered himself a Maverick. Also says he never claimed to be a Senator or that his first name is John.

“Got to get off the phone; the show is coming back on.” My dad is never going to understand he can pause and rewind TV now.

I wonder if when Kiefer Sutherland learned that 24 is being canceled, if he just quickly shut off the phone and shouted, “Dammit!”

“Someone inside CTU must be tipping him off.” “How is that possible?” “You’re obviously new here.”

They should really make a 24 themed Kinkos like business called “Copy That!”
