[Dirk39]

21. Hi Tinoire, he made me nervous...

watching him on the german tele, it was nothing but his eyes going from the left to the right to the left and back again all the time. So much money and effort for advertising and such a sucking result. I'm dissapointed.
BTW all the attention from the protests against Bush was erased by the attacks in Turkey today. Bush, Bliar and Al Quaida are just the perfect team, somehow.
Dirk

[Tinoire]

41. Yeah...

and you, my DoppelGanger, bring me down from the laughter... I saw that. He looked like a true Reptilan- eyes neither darting right nor left. I am truly heart-broken Dirk. Heart-broken about the bombs bursting, the synagogues birning, NAFTA, the villages bull-dozed... Wass kann Ich tun!!!!

But I don't fear that the "attention from the protests against Bush was erased by the attacks in Turkey". Informed, thinking people (and there are more and more of us each day, thanks to the internet) are seeing even more clearly through this bull, and more people are seeing clearly each day. If Bush is not 'elected out' next year, I think there will be a Gaulic-style revolution in America. Cosette is hungy and Jean will do whatever it takes to feed his child. I pity those who would withdraw crumbs! Wie geht es dir?

[corarose]

22. Are you taking me to see the Wizard?

Ba da dum da dump!

Hahahahaha Don't tell me my Mommy is stuck underneath the Queens house!

[David Zephyr]

27. Giggle.

That's the best one, Corarose.

"Are you taking me to see the Wizzard?"

[corarose]

28. Jr is pretty damn dumb

Thanks! I bet that is what he is asking them.

[soup]

31. LOL, love it.

Had an idea along those lines, too.

[Tinoire]

42. Love it!

Thank you for bringing me up quickly after Dirk! Love you both!

[kodi]

23. "You know, I have a very great friend in London called "Bigus Dickus"!"

with apologies to the pythons

[Tinoire]

53. Getting me back to smiling and laughing! Thanks! n/t

[welshTerrier2]

24. and here's another ...

I said I wanted Colin Powell you idiot ... not a colonoscopy.

[Tinoire]

43. You guys are cute!

[cosmicdot]

[Wonk]

:loveya:

[Military Brat]

Most excellent Photoshop job, Wonk!

[Kahuna]

65. ROTF! You're so bad...

You're good.

:yourock:

[soup]

29. great pic.

"You guys were a whole lot scarier in the Wizard of Oz than you are in personage."

alternate:

"Pssst! You might want to lose those 'Hey, look at me, I'm a member of the coalition occupation forces' hats before you hit the ground in Iraq."

alternate:

"Chim chiminy, chim chiminy, chim chim cheree. Hey, am I getting yer goat yet?"

alternate:

"Nice hat - but did ya ever make a tailhook landing on an aircraft carrier, pretty boy?"

alternate:

"You making fun of me communing with cows, boy?"

[Tinoire]

48. Nice jokes... but... they just make me sad... The purpose of humor right?

Either the sad things make you laugh

Or

The happy things are perverted to make you feel sad.

Humor. Sadness. All desperately inter-twined.

Thanks

[Snazzy]

30. "That's the biggest afro I ever did see, son. ...

The Queen told me ya'll had blacks in the military like we do and ... damn!, just look-it that"

[Tinoire]

49. Too close!

to home, but funny!

[WillyT]

32. "Is That A Ten Gallon Hat, Or Are You Just Happy To See Me ???"

Sorry. :eyes:

Alternate: "So THAT's what happened to the Conehead family."

:shrug:

[Tinoire]

51. Honey, I was just happy to see you the first time I did!

;)

And how is that lovely girl-friend of yours? Ya'know, the cute one who liked my evening Coconut dessert for break-fast? PM me.... I'd love to see the two of you again! Thinking of an SF Bay Thanksgiving- the day after.

On edit: But skip the answer :) I know she's well because she has all that DU SF Bay energy behind her!

Call. Ok?

[elperromagico]

38. "I really liked Sgt. Pepper, Ringo."

[David Zephyr]

44. Good One!

:thumbsup:

[Tinoire]

54. Why is that so funny??!

I spit from laughter when I read that and, as I type this, I still don't know why it was funny- but funny it was! :bounce:

[elperromagico]

67. Maybe it's the hat

... it vaguely resembles the Beatles mop top.

And Bush being as stupid as he is, he probably thinks all uniforms are alike. Palace Guard Uniform = Sgt. Pepper Uniform.

I don't know. I wrote it and I don't know why it is/isn't funny.

[theorist]

39. "AAAAAAAAHHHH!!! A Horse!"

(I suppose you'd have to know that he's deathly afraid of horses.)


Addition:
By the way, how many focus groups did it take to pick out that tie. It's getting really tired George. Put on your "Vodkas of the World" tie!!

[Tinoire]

56. Yes- lol!

deathly afraid of horses is one of the first things that came to my mind! Love it! What a f(&*^*ng weasel!!!!!!!!!!

[BurtWorm]

40. Brrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaappppppppp!!!!!!!

(They hate freedom, you know.)

[Tinoire]

57. Saddest joke of them all my friend!

:(

I can't even hear thta black joke anymore...Especially not since Mr-"Free-Speech-Zone" had the GALL to tell the recently demonstrating Brits that they were fortunate enough to be free to protest (or whatever sickening allusione he used. Sad joke... but funny in a 21st century kind of way!

[BurtWorm]

87. I thought it was telling that he said he liked *visiting* a country

where people were free to express themselves.

:eyes:

[Field Of Dreams]

47. You know, I once swallowed a sword at a Yale frat party...

think I can make it two for two?

[Tinoire]

59. Yeah,,, S & B

Our very own inarticulate frat boy!

(As if they weren't a rich dime a dozen!)

:)

[FubarFly]

52. Hehe, this looks fun.

"So all you have to do is stand here and do nothing. Heck, I'd be a natural at this job. Maybe I'll give it a try. As the expression goes, when in Rome do what the Romanians would do. That's where the lettuce comes from you know...but your not a Romanian, are you? Do you Englandians even have lettuce? Why does everyone keep offering me pretzels?"

[Tinoire]

60. Ignore the Bliss!- The greatest lie told in a representative democracy? I

The greatest lie told in a representative democracy? Ignorance is bliss.

I love it!

[FubarFly]

[Catshrink]

55. Hmmmm Beefeater...

Where can I get a G&T around here?

[Tinoire]

62. oh God! Please

please don't kill me! What is a G & T?

[Nihil]

78. G & T = Gin & Tonic

I still love the idea that Blair is going to take a "reformed"
alcoholic to a pub for lunch ... like it's going to be a "typical
British pub lunch" when the place is full of Agent Smiths?

Nihil

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

88. Or how about --

Man, I shouldn'ta drank that bottle a gin this morning. Now I'm seein them everywhere!

[ComerPerro]

[BurtWorm]

73. "You know, if I'd 'a' had a hat like that in the Guard,

I don't think I woulda gone AWOL."

[elperromagico]

74. "So, did you put up the 'Mission Accomplished' banner yet?"

[wildwww2]

75. "Wow! You have no lips. Are we related?"

Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President

[elperromagico]

76. Notice how closely he's looking at that hat

"Oh, you just wear that hat to compensate for sexual shortcomings. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go bomb some countries so my Daddy will love me."

[soup]

84. hilariously sad.

After reading through these again this morning, I can see exactly what Tinoire has been saying all along.

ROFC (rolling on floor - crying)

Well done, elperromagico. :hi:

[MSchreader]

77. "Are you a member of the Loyal Order of Water Buffalos?"

Same one I posted in the Lounge the other day.

Martin

[Gman]

79. "Ever been AWOL?"

[ElsewheresDaughter]

81. and just why ain't your fuzzyhead ass dying for my oil in iraq?
