Today, we are all tool belt wearing mimes…
Can’t people just tell their spouses when they are getting pissed off?
And thank goodness the Olympics is over. Maybe we can get back to bad (worse?) television.
Maybe someone should remind Nancy the SAME bill has to pass both the House AND Senate. Maybe it’s just all about ego. Maybe it’s about the money the health-care/indutrial complex gives her.
I wandered away from the TV after the parade of hot curling-MILFs and inflated Mounties. I would have hung around if I had known they would have inflated beavers. Damn.
I like to wear my tool belt while closing doors on women’s hands.
Inflatable beavers or GTFO.
Was the mayor’s car a Toyota? If so he could blame the incident in the manufacturer and everyone would totally buy that.
>White Plains
Racist
I think we should have a Congress Day, with a parade. We could have giant balloons in the shape of egos.
[re=521560]What Fresh Hell is This?[/re]: [re=521562]Chernobyl Soup[/re]:
Damn! Wonketts all think alike!
[re=521565]Boojum[/re]: And in the shape of beavers and the health insurance industry. And bags of poison rat dicks for them to feast on.
Olympic Photos, frame #2: 1960′s catholic girls on parade with mega maxi pads around God-sized flaming doobies? Please explain.
[re=521568]WarAndG[/re]: A health care metaphor.
Beavers, Avril Lavigne, Mounties, Michael J. Fox…
I would note that Terrance and Phillip were notable by their absence.
….leaves us helpless, helpless…helpless!
[re=521568]WarAndG[/re]: needs more Shake Weights, then you would understand.

[re=521562]Chernobyl Soup[/re]: Inflatable Beavers vs. Detachable Penis. I’m betting on the beavers, and that’s hard to say as a University of Oregon alumni.
[re=521568]WarAndG[/re]: Maxi pads and giant doobies? That sounds just about right for Vancouver.
Yellow moon on the rise
Big words flying, but they’re all lies
Throwing shadows on our eyes
Leave us
Health-care-less, health-care-less
eh, it’s early, where’s the coffee, etc.
[re=521558]proudgrampa[/re]: Like the Marriage Ref? Worst show ever.
Did William Shatner perform Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds? I would have went to the Olympics just to see that.
[re=521576]hockeymom[/re]: The only way the Marriage Ref would be more entertaining would be to have it featuring the McCains. But you can’t really use language like that on tv.
[re=521576]hockeymom[/re]: Yeah. WTF was that??? Just more evidence for the continued decline of Western Civilization, I guess…
Let Us Now Mock Fred Hiatt
[re=521582]snideinplainsight[/re]: Always appropriate to mock Hiatt. But is there a particular offense this morning? Or is he a Canuckistani?
Wasn’t anyone frightened when during the closing ceremonies the Russians sang the freaking Soviet Anthem, that’s some spooky stuff.
[re=521568]WarAndG[/re]: As a 1960s catholic girl, I can say that teh maxi pads kept us virginal, you know like just in case.
[re=521583]V572625694[/re]: His biweekly smarmy little op-ed in the Post. Today’s is particularly “Nice try, Obama”.
Fuck Sidney Crosby.
/was rooting for Russia, defaulted to U.S
I think I’ve had my fill of my curling for about 4 years. But get back to me in 3 years and 11 months and I’ll be JONESIN’ for it.
[re=521576]hockeymom[/re]: Remember how Jerry Seinfeld was once both hip and entertaining? Actually, it’s hard not to with the reruns constantly on; but it’s sad how our nation’s comedians tend to slide into dullness as they age.
At least it’s nice to see Leno looks to have almost nobody decent for his first week back; hopefully most of the big names will refuse to go on.
One wonder’s…
what Pat Robertson will spout off as the true cause of the earthquake &
when will the Baptist missionaries begin to steal children from the Santiago slums
[re=521584]red sky[/re]: Apparently the Russian national anthem is the Soviet anthem, only with different words. In fairness, it is a seriously kick-ass tune.
Fumiko Bradley? Glad to hear he waited to slam her hand in the car door now rather than using the mailbox door when she arrived from the Asian Bride Mail Order Company a few years ago.
Fix the BBC link, please.
[re=521566]freakishlystrong[/re]: This may have been the greatest line ever uttered in network history.
Bob Costas: and now the always enjoyable giant, inflatable beavers.
[re=521584]red sky[/re]: I know what you mean. They sounded dour, determined and ready to kick your ass if you even think about getting in their way.
[re=521568]WarAndG[/re]: Giant beavers need mega maxi pads. Why is that so hard to understand?
[re=521572]cheeto_jeebus[/re]: Seems like a waste of money when there are so many cheaper ergonomic alternatives. By which I mean: inflating giant beavers by hand. Oh and tug jobs.
[re=521663]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: This thread is now closed.
What, no love for the human hamster-balls? Those are always awesome.
When you look at the pictures of Fumiko Bradley it’s easy to see why he felt she needed to be taken down a notch. If a man is going to outsource his wife and kids to Japanese manufacturers, it’s his patriotic duty to keep her from feeling too cocky, what with her slender figure and adorable children and such. She also vouched for him, upon returning from the police station where she had just pressed charges, saying that her husband is a “great mayor” and “great father,” all finger-torturing assholery to the contrary. Considering that by rights she’d probably be spending 6 days a week blowing sailors in Okinawa in groups of 20, she does owe him a huge debt of gratitude.
[re=521564]4tehlulz[/re]: Feh. In White Plains, we no forget the December 7th.
Michelle Malkin deserves the Asian slurs (ping-pong balls, etc.), because she’s a right-wing ass hat. But Fumiko Bradley? Not so much.
[re=521573]Sparky McGruff[/re]: Oregon! The Beaver state!!
