Anyone know if Obama can dunk? Just curious.
If the Treasury is so desperate to get people to borrow, maybe they should outright pay the credit cards and student loans.
OH WAIT most people don’t work for Goldman Sachs. Never mind.
YAY new credit cards just in time to purchase a jet pack!
Also, is it thanksdrinking yet? i’m ready to start giving… http://urbzen.com/2008/11/25/happy-thanksdrinking/
And speaking of things CRAPTASTIC, here’s an oldie but goodie to help celebrate the end of the W preznitzy.

Nice pardons ‘n’ midnight regs, douche-nozzle. At least you’re consistent.
Now. Go. Away.
It’s all fun and games until a high-pressure fitting fails.
But do the jet packs come with TruckNutz? The Denver Post’s failure to ask this question illustrates the decline of journalism today.
Walter Motherfucking Cronkite would have asked about TruckNutz.
Who wants to bet that Hamden turns out NOT to be bin Ladin’s driver at all? He probably worked at the local equivalent of Jiffy Lube and changed the oil in the car once.
4tehlulz: exactly, you can’t have a big $ale on anything without a big $ale on TruckNutz
“He is so amazing. He is the best jet-pack pilot in the world.”
How big is the pool? I mean, not to diminish his accomplishment (and insanity), but what is his competition?
4tehlulz: JET NUTZ!
4tehlulz: JetNutz - I suggest you begin the patent application process today.
Such an economic stimulus program would amount to a Global War on Potholes. Genius!
That poor Hamdan bastard. Maybe he can find a job driving the Pope or someone.
Doglessliberal: Argh! You beat me..barely.
I was praying for a mention that he was mixing hydrogen peroxide with benzine. Ka-fuckin’-BOOM!
Well Hamdan has certainly been brought to justice, if by “justice” you mean held for years without a trial, then convicted and essentially set free.
The Washington Post writes a whole article on RebuildTheParty.com without once mentioning Truck Nutz?? Where’s the love?
One good pullquote, though: “Jesus Christ, whom many Republicans claim to follow, summoned his followers to be either hot or cold toward Him, because a ‘lukewarm’ commitment makes Him want to vomit. I believe this accurately reflects the mood of voters in the past several elections where Republicans have witnessed consecutive defeats.” He’s right about the vomit impulse, though he’s misdiagnosed the cause.
“He is so amazing. He is the best jet-pack pilot in the world.”
Seriously…. I will never be half this cool. It makes me sad. As a kid didn’t you dream of being referred to as the “best jet-pack pilot in the world?” I mean, who didn’t?
TGY: Man, Google works fast. I hope I can beat that other JetNutz to the patent office before he claims prior art or some shit.
Serolf Divad:
Maybe, but I also don’t want to be known as the late Jet Pack pilot who died when his jet pack exploded when the benzene leaked into his hydrogen peroxide tank while flying over the Grand Canyon.
4tehlulz: Curses, foiled! Oh, wait…
Serolf Divad: Where does Todd Palin rank? Seems like the kind of obscure sport he would master.
TGY: great minds, or at least warped minds….
Mahousu: oh man, I was looking for the reference, too, hoping it would note that those crazy nuts over at Wonkette had flooded the site with Truck Nutz, but no, no love.
Doglessliberal: It’s the Warped Wonkette Group-mind.
Servo:
“It’s all fun and games until a high-pressure fitting fails.”
I’m with you…a little concerned about the full force of that massive package!
A hydrogen peroxide powered jet pack? Somewhere in Denver there are dozens of angry women with their roots showing who don’t give a toss about our jet pack future.

ManchuCandidate:
OK, I’ll admit that when it’s my time to go I want to go with a smile on my face in a dimly lit room surrounded by hookers and blow, but dying while attempting a jet-pack flight over the Gran Canyon is not that far down the list.
Serolf Divad: I am the world’s greatest shoelace tie-er. Mmhmm. There was a contest. Once. I won. So…there.
ManchuCandidate:
Really, what you want is a bunch of benzene and hydrogen peroxide strapped to your back. If you don’t die immediately, from crashing or a wee mishap with the mix, the cancer will get you.
Doglessliberal: No way he’s better than Boba Fett. Maybe he’s better than The Rocketeer, but not the Fett-Man.
Godot: yeah, but the Rocketeer got to have sex with Jennifer Connelly when she still was curvy (well, in the movie he did):
