Did everybody go to the big Tea Party rally in Minnesota on Saturday? No? Well look what you missed! Wonkette special-ops operative “exmartinette” somehow infiltrated the teabaggers by simply walking around taking these pictures. He got away alive! But what is the “Bohica,” and why is it on a baseball bat, and how did the Tea Party figure out what it meant?
Dr. Mister Shudrucker here is running for the U.S. Senate. Well sure he is! But what’s that sign in the back, behind the abandoned folding table and the campaign literature?
The Bohica Crowd. Yes … of course. Them. Those Who Cannot Otherwise Be Named. Fight the Bohica Crowd, with paper baseball bats, for America.

"Harold Shudlick (Koch), the right man for the right job."
There, fixed.
I can't imagine Harry being ever teased about that. Never.
I guess I deserve that one…shall I raise the bar with some "Boner" jokes?
To be fair, the GOPers since 1994 have been one limp dick joke.
Harry Should Lick Koch?
Naw, it wasn't a comment on your comment (as I'm one to talk, hell I would have made a similar comment) but a poor attempt to snark on Shudlick's name.
I was not able to attend the TP rally as I am too busy preparting for the May 21 rapture. Looks like I missed a fun time.
Well, at least you have your priorities straight.
Is that a typo on "preparing" or "pre-partying"? Changes the overall picture a bit.
Today, we are all pre-partying for the rapture.
Rock n' roll all night, rapture pre-party ever-y day.
BOHICA is an old Navy acronym, "Bend Over, Here It Comes Again."
If you hadn't translated I would have been totally mystified. Thanks, Navy Acronym Decoder!
My work is done here.
Not yet it's not. You read the sign…
On your knees.
Thanks BaldarTFlagass, I was think along the lines of Barrack Obama Hates Incadescent Chinese Amercans, but yours makes much more sense.
Seems like if you knew it was coming again, you'd avoid bending over. Or am I confused about what "it" is?
Well, maybe the last time it turned out you kinda liked it?
There's a reason the Village People sang 'In the Navy'…
A giant paper baseball bat?
I was fated to be second due to the Gods of Lag. Was unintentional. Sorry!
I don't like Old Navy. There shirts fall apart too quick.
Especially the special edition shirts with "BOHICA" across the front in shiny letters. The glitter comes off in the wash too.
I had to re-bedazzle mine 3 times.
Re-dazzle?
That sign still doesn't make sense. Who inserts the bat up the rectum? Teabaggers or the "unreal" US Americans?
Teabaggers, obvs. Oh, was that supposed to be rhetorical?
That's not a "bat" it's a "surveyor's symbol".
Also, not "up the rectum."
"In the Assimuth"
Ass first, *then* mouth? Ew.
Actually, they are "real" Americans. Pseudo (false) counterfeit (false again) Americans. Double negative. 360-degree turn. Back to the future, so to speak.
So teabagger dudes are into pegging…
Was this guy use so dumb that he didn't realize it was an obscure acronym the vast majority of people wouldn't know?
Dunning – Krueger Syndrome again (SP?)
well he also has us mashing teeth instead of gnashing them, so yes?
Well, thank you kindly, Baldar. I thought it had a sort of cosmopolitan sound about it (bohemian?), but cosmopolitan is not a word I associate with teabaggers.
Its fun to play B-O-H-I-C-A…
Heh…do I need to point out the irony of the Navy having an acronym like that? I mean, it's not like their sailor wear and being out to sea in phallus shaped subs doesn't get them enough gay jokes, they then need to go and create the gayest acronym ever. Say what you will about the USAF, especially what it has become, but at least there isn't like a thousand ironically gay jokes about them. Oh, and yes…my family is an Air Force family, retired so I'm contractually obligated to hate and mock the Navy.
My retired Air Force dad got such a kick out of that acronym that he named his boat BOHICA when he moved to the Keys. Despite the homoerotic connotations, we always used the acronym in the context of getting fucked over, i.e. "The Chief ain't letting us go on liberty until we get the new low-flow shower heads installed in all the showers on board" or "The Captain volunteered us to play tattletale/shadow on that Soviet carrier, so we are going to bypass our liberty stop in Singapore and go steam off the coast by Cam Ranh Bay for six days until some destroyer shows up to relieve us." BOHICA!!!
Looks like someone is getting sodomized by a Louisville Slugger tonight then? For freedom?
I don't understand if they're for BOHICA or against it….since most family values Republicans are secretly into the buttsecks.
And it has something to do with a baseball bat — the surveyor's mark of our times.
Oh yeah they are into it, over and over, again and again. They are after all, republiicans.
Looks to be two or three hundred thousand people on hand there.
More like a million, of course I'm using Foxmath.
Is someone actually protesting about tungsten light bulbs with a biblical reference? Fuckin' "MORAN".
I wonder how difficult it was for him to spell "incandescent" correctly.
He's holding the sign up over his head like it's an Idea! Clever Boy.
This almost perfectly represents the Tea Partiers. They want to return America to the 19th century light bulbs and all. Return to a period of unfettered capitalism, no regulation, limited voting, before most non-English immigration, no income tax, no unions, no environmental protection. They love that shit.
Life expectancy in 1900: 50 years.
Lightbulbs aren't mentioned in the bible because Dog wanted us to discover them for ourselves, obvs. Same's true for extraterrestrials, transistors and fake vomit.
Every 'Merkin's right to use antique light bulb technology is the second plank of the Teabag platform, right after hoverrounds for all. Keeping the government out of Medicare ranks a close third.
But they did spell it correctly. Bonus points. Maybe one child in the family wasn't "home schooled."
Judging from those pix, this event will be known as the 50 Man March.
It's almost like a day off for the professional Crowd Estimators.
The 50 Watt march
Dim Bulb March.
That or the Monster Mash.
Looks like a Graveyard Smash.
I only counted about two. 'Though you've gotta admire the guy who staked out that primo spot for his foldy chair. He's planted right in front of the white plastic chain that separates the spectators from The Show.
& they're all whipped.
Baton Meth March.
Bohica – n. a Minnesotan cocktail, similar to a mojito, but with a proper 'murrican "h" in the middle – not that suspiciously foreign-looking "j" . Consists of rum, lime juice, high fructose corn syrup and a badly bruised
ballsackteabag."Thanks, but I'll stick to beer."
Liar! Anybody knows Minnesotans only drink Aquavit.
Wow, that's quite an impressive crowd of… um… Dim Bulbs. All 100 of them?
Actually, the only thing impressive about this "crowd" is that there isn't a Rascal in the photo.
The fat bitch obliterating the left-hand frame of the photo must have just parked hers.
Dim bags.
Bohica stands for bend over, here it comes again – aside from the catchy motto, it's never clear what the fuck they're talking about. What the devil is a teeth masher? I for one really love all the noise these idiots make – it just further confuses the conservative "message".
Teethmasher from grinding them to dust to dull the pain of forced anal sodomy?
They must be prepared for any anus dentata they might encounter. It's a jungle out there.
I think teeth-mashing refers to oral action you get when dentures are removed.
Any discomfort can be alleviated with a slug of santorum mouthwash. By the way, the rest of you are disgusting.
Now they're trying to take away our freedom bulbs!
It’s a government plot to keep conservatives from breading by bathing us in un-flattering fluorescent light.
Keep your government hands off my 100 Watt bulbs, commies!
Why do the Teatards hate our military and its jargon?
"A vote for me is a vote for _you_. I Shudlick you."
Respeck.
Merchants of guilt and shame? Oh it's a collective of Jewish mothers.
Pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip!!!
That's right. Because fools & bigots should feel good about themselves and proud of their bigoted, vile actions and views. Real America needs self-esteem more than a reality check?
Or Catholics.
We only corner the market in Gentile guilt…
My Jewish college roomie and I used to engage in guilt-offs. I'ze a lapsed catholic.
Shudlick can't be a serious Teabagger candidate. His poster should be homemade using poster board with 3 colors of Sharpie and a sloppily glued on photo.
Ok, so you all kindly explained BOHICA and thanks for that. Now, what is teeth mashing? My teeth, as a general rule, are fairly hard and it would be difficult to mash them.
Maybe it's a Real Amurrican term for mastication.
ooh- I like it when you talk dirty.
Maybe they mean teeth "gnashing," as in "wailing and gnashing of teeth," which the Internet says appears 7 times in the OT. Or bruxism, which is compulsive grinding of teeth, often while asleep.
I think it's from the Bible:
There shall be weeping and mashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you thrust out.
– Luke 13:28
I suspect it's similar to pillow biting, which often follows the bending over as "it" comes again.
Shudlick is quite the impressive candidate, as you can see here: http://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?...
(Too lazy for HTML today)
No birf certificate!!
According to that very professional site, Shudlicker is listed as "Born"- unknown. And "Dead"- still living. I need proof of both.
I am pretty sure every single living thing has died while still living, so his status is still very very unclear. The sticking point for me is "Born: Unknown".
So was he hatched from an egg, or some kind of vegetable?
That's great – the only "candidate detail" given is that he's "still living*", but since the site appears to have been last updated in 2005, even that's not 100% (his pic is not definitive either way).
*To paraphrase the old riddle "If a still-living Teatard runs for office in Minnesota, does anyone give a fuck?"
He's just a shudlicking sommonabitch.
Just check out those job approval polls.
He's really Shudlickin' the competition.
I dunno. Seems like a deal breaker to me.
And he's a dipshit who can't spell chaplain correctly. "Yesterday I couldn't spell chaplain and today I are one."
The Tabula Rasa
Wow. His "importance" metric is a whopping 0.00000 (accurate to 5 decimal places)
If you're going to use the prefix 'pseudo', have the courtesy to spell it correctly. Pretension FAIL!
Yeah! It's SPEW-DO (as in "I spewed–'doh–all over them phony amurrikans last nite."
Also spotted, onsite stands for: handicap sticker renewal, free Medicare blood pressure check, Hoveround tune-up, waist band loosening/belt extension, and tax free cigarette booth.
Harry Shudlick/Truck Nutz 2012!
Were all wrong about this BOHICA. The protester is a distraught fan of the late MC, Big Pun. It's been eleven years since BP died, & still, the fans mourn.
Boricua, morena…. Morena, boricua.
They STILL want to repeal HCR? They already repealed HCR. Who the fuck are these people and how the hell can we get them to stop voting?
But they lost in the senate and they operate on the "if you can't succeed get on your Rascal and try try try try again till the battery runs out" principle.
'Teeth Mashers' is probably intended to mean 'Teeth Gnashers'. Another Bible-thumper too lazy/stupid/illiterate to be a Bible-reader. The Rapture can't come soon enough.
Just under two weeks!
I've already scheduled the week of the 23rd to 27th for vacation, I plan on being busy doing some looting.
Then, if we could only get the Randians to 'Go Galt' already, we might have an asshole-free summer.
Re: looting – looking to pick up a few Rascals, TV trays, Snuggies, and cases of corn-syrup products?
I call shenanigans! this is no Teabagger rally, they spelled incandescent correctly. Shenanigans!
He may have had his mother look it up in that confusing book with all those words in it.
It doesn't count if you don't wave your broom.
GE supplied the sign. They were just careful to make it look homeade, but fucked up when they spelled it correctly.
Corporate shenanigans.
Oh look, another teabagger fantasizes about tuning up a liberal with a bat, but is too much of a pussy to actually do it.
Might give the liberal a heckuva paper cut with his paper bat, though.
Sure are alotta fat people in the first photograph.
Over 100,000 according to FauxNews.
If it was on Faux Noose it must be true!
Coming from baconzgood, that has a bit of rhetorical heft.
Wow this looks like the Madison WI rally, only way fewer people and these people look like cretins.
The reason the crowd is so light in these pictures is everyone was huddled round the corn dog stand while they were refilling the corn dog trough.
Waiting for complaints from the hormonally-challenged.
Damn troll downfister.
I'm home with the flu today, and will be upfisting with a will. I've got nothing to do and all day to do it in, between bouts of passing out.
Feel better, brave Christ warrior.
"Pseudo/Counterfeit Americans"
What did Canada ever do to teabaggers???
The highest of crimes: Filling their prescriptions affordably.
Don't worry: the Teatard's emissary to Canadia, Stephen Harper, will make sure that never happens again.
Maybe the bat is a subtle tribute to the NYC Police Department for raping that brown dude with a plunger.
Ooohhhh, you had to bring that up. Under their regime, it would be instituted as part of processing?
Bohica, wasn't he the left fielder for the Old Senators before Griffith snuck them off to Minnesota?
My mind is now blown over the phrase pseudo/counterfeit Americans.
I'm getting mighty tired of being labeled un-American or not a real American by these traitors. These are people that despise the American Government in all it's forms, yet with a complete lack of irony, call us pseudo/counterfeit.
I think when they talk about Real Americans, they're talking about the American Race, as in "good American stock." As Duncan Hunter said "It takes more than walking across the border to become an American citizen; it's within our souls,"
Your mind is sooo lucky.
People who feel there are counterfeit, pseudo or other "un" Americans truly do not understand what America really is. America is the people who show up. They show up on our shores, in our communities, at a job, school, recruiting office, LIttle League game. America is all of us — including the guy who made that sign. By casting political disagreements as disloyalty (or its handmaiden, treason) the TP'ers are fundamentally rejecting e pluribus unum.
Assuming that the pseuds in question are pretentious journalists, authors, artists etc, is the comment a veiled dig at the gays?
Yeah. But how do the psuedo/counterfeit Americans make you feel? Huh, smarty pants?
I think that makes us the Real Americans. I mean, wouldn't pseudo (fake) counterfeit (fake) Americans be fake, fake Americans? Real Americans?
So take that Mr. Shudsuck, or lick or whatever your name is.
The anger over the switch to fluorescent bulbs proves that much of the conservative philosophy is to reflexively oppose anything liberals support. Fluorescent bulbs are superior to incandescent bulbs in every way, they are not just better for the environment but last much longer and save money on electric bills; there is not one single reason to prefer incandescents; yet the right is very angry about the switchover to better light bulbs simply because it's supported by environmentalists.
Since they last so much longer, you change them much less frequently. You'd think teabaggers would be all over a product that meant less work and less expense but if Barry likes it, it must be the work of Satan.
I'm waiting for the campaign commercial in the next election cycle about how a lady in the grocery store is angry that a Paper Towel and Dixie Cup company is trying to tell us what to do in our bedrooms and Doctor's offices.
Given the Koch Brothers philosophy of almost-autistic selfishness, oncologists are the only physicians who do good.
Conservatives don't really have a philosophy – they have knee-jerk contrariness. That's about it.
Dude, get with the times. It's all about LED's now. 8 Watts.
/lightbulbhipster
Bring back candles. And more horses, few cars. Also, too.
Damn that Franklin and his heathen lightning rod, preventing god's punishment.
that's what the prostitutes in Paris said about him, too.
(he's still my favorite "founding father", though)
Logic, reason? Shirley you jest. You don't mind if I call you Shirley, do you?
Except for the quality of light, which a recent comparison revealed to somewhat suck.
As someone whose apartment is now entirely fluorescent, no their light is just fine.
As someone whose home is now entirely ultraviolet, somehow the only thing that looks good is that poster on black velvet with Afro astrological sex positions the loved one and I use to determine our monthly mating methods. I'm pretty excited, June's position is Bohica!
It depends on the application: Compact fluorescents are fine for the most part, the daylight adjusted ones are nicer for ambient light and looking at printed material. The only place where incandescent really stands out is if you want a heat source with your light, like an easy bake oven. Otherwise most of that power is going out as infrared. There is something nice about the intensity of a 100 watt bulb combined with the warmth while reading in a drafty corner on a cold winter's night. I'm psyched for what LED technology is coming up with for intensity vs. power consumption.
"You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons."
My favorite talking point about fluorescent bulbs is how they have ZOMG MERCURY in them… but so do fish, so what's you're fucking point!?
I've also heard it said that they can only operate properly when oriented in exactly the right direction, which just makes me go cross-eyed.
So "pseudo counterfeit" Americans must mean that only the Bohicans are the real Americans.
Yes but what does psuedo mean?
Wasn't that a Phil Collins song…Psue, psue, psuedio?
"The" Harold A. Shudlick?
There could be more??
Like The Donald. It's a Trumptard kind of thing.
It's finally nice to have a name for what we are.
Now if someone would explain to me just what exactly this means and why we should be ashamed of ourselves?
Sublimation does weird shit to your head.
"Bo Hica" would make a swell Wonkette handle.
Or a new name for signing one of What-The-L? Michele's on-line petitions where she AGAIN asks for money! I'm gettting kinda tired of using "Bea Fuddled." Although "Dr. Shaden Freud" is still working just fine…
i smell a bad Lion King parody in the making, Bohica Macaca. try saying that ten times fast.
Hakuna Fatata – No breakfast.
Let's face it, an inability to gnash properly IS advantageous when you're teabagging.
Or "still", if you prefer.
When all the others are dead 'n' gone, I'll be proud to call myself The Last of the Bohicans.
You're here all week, I hope?
And livetoserve led off with that one. The wonkeratti just can't pass up on a pun or pun-like humor.
I blame the lack of jobs for English majors. It gives these people too much free time.
Someone explain what a 'shudlick' is, preferably with graphic terms and naughty pictures.
Call Dan Savage. He can make him the new "santorum."
When a man and a woman love each other very much, the woman places – straps on, if you will – a very special toy on her lady bits…
It's when a female Wonkette , for equality, grabs your head and roughly places it in the cliroral area , smacks your bottom and says, in a voice husky wth desire "What must you do now?" and you reply "Should lick?"
It does have that sound; perhaps something to do with a horse's genitalia? A more gallant and refined term for "Horse Taint"? "Jose, make sure and wash "Fiddlemore's Glories'" shudlick when you groom her, we're taking her to Westwind Arabians to have her bred by "Grand Delusions" tomorrow."
I love my incandescent light bulbs. I love how they break if you so much as breathe on them.
I love that sound they make when you break 'em on purpose.
Didn´t Brooksie write some crap about Bohicas in paradise?
That's not incandescent. It's INCAN DESCENT. This man is celebrating his proud roots as a noble Incan warrior. And Bohica is the ancient Incan god of the harvest and motherhood. We've stumbled into the middle of a Native South American pride festival!
I should have been tipped off by all the brown skin.
too fucking awesome.
I'd tell Shirley MacLaine's Kah-Lah-Bash joke, but it would take too long.
Today is their annual festival of Kettsalmigonkugankoatlktenotchetlan – the god of diction and memory.
I love the smell of Americans exercising their right to be the idiot tools of their corporate masters in the morning. It smells like…….Koch.
With all the bending over, teabagging, teethmashing, hatefucking and guilt – I mean hell, if they weren't so stupid these folks might be fun to hang with – or wait, are WE libtards the bat wielding hate fuckers? Cause I'm also down with that.
If its a choice between pseudo and counterfeit, this American will choose counterfeit since it has the sense of good old fashioned crime by honest criminals and not the hipster feel of pseudo.
I guess nobody bothered to tell them that Thomas Edison, inventor of the incandescent light bulb, also invented the phonograph.
If it weren't for him we would have no recorded music, hence no colored music on the radio, hence none of the "problems" that Mister Trent Lott lamented.
Edison was a thief and a bastard, now my main man Tesla…
So are teabaggers for or against teeth mashing? The sign doesn't really specify.
My first thought was that "Bohica" was some sort of esoteric alternate plural for "Bohemians". For about ten seconds I was pretty impressed.
Oh, Dusty, I think you're giving him w-a-a-a-a-y too much credit. Unless that was all heavy sarcasm, in which case, nicely played!
whiffle ball bat reminds me of the old-school beastie boys wreckords back in the day. ahh, highschool… were that I could have survived you.
oh.
I mean, I mean, I know there is no sense of irony in this crowd, but my God, hanging out with a couple of losers, dressed poorly, and using dumb phrases are they trying to relive their middle school years??
Shudrick is clearly the teabagger candidate, he is listed with the requisite typo as a Vietnam veteran and Army Chaplin (sic!). http://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?...
That's ShudLICK with emphasis on the lick…
What I'm most happy about is that this kind of mass turn-out validates the tremendous influence these patriots have on our nation's policies.
That looks like my local farmers' market, except that ithe market has tasty vegetables and more people. And I think they mean "teeth gnashers." It still makes no sense.
And then God said, "Let there be incandescent light." And there was incandescent light. And God saw that it was inefficient. And it was wasteful. And expensive. And God saw that it was good.
The guy holding that sign is probably a regular church goer, so he knows how omnipotent power operates.
i think Psuedo was a misspelling of Swede. epic fail. and really, how would they live without those delicious meatballs?
"the perennial teeth mashers & merchants of guilt, hate & shame"???
So, the Tea Party is declaring a war on the Tea Party, with baseball bats? I think I can get behind that cause.
We don't need no stinkin' reason.
just a subscription to the magazine.
They have gone BOHICA because that "birth certificate" thing isn't working as much anymore. Then our Prez killed the Terrorist Number One, and flipped a missile that almost got another one. May be a long summer of sour lemonade for the Teabaggers.
Is it just me or isn't it hilarious to find military or ex-military people who share the same dumbass right wing views of the Koch brothers? To me it's like the "Keep yer gubmint hands off ma Medicare!" guy. I mean, it's not like this BOHICA douche isn't dependent on the government to provide healthcare and bennies. What's even funnier is part of the miltary recruiter sale job is about the awesome government benefits you and your family get for being in the military. I know I'm being more dryly sarcastic that just calling these teabaggers Trigtards, but I just can't help it; wingnuts are just so ridiculously stupid and lack any self awareness, it shocks me they can remember where they live or tie their own shoes, also.
Another point of irony, these douchebags obviously don't know how pricing works in the markets; it's hardly voluntary if you live in a big city and don't want to be homeless to take part. The government creates a program, they say bend over…even when that program is ultimately cheaper, less corrupt and more human than their loving corporate one, they still pretend like its assrape (funny how often wingnuts use gay rape euphamisms). but when their favorite giant corporation jacks up prices which directly pushes up the prices of all their competitors just so they can give out executive bonuses and stock dividends, why that's not a vile screw job based upon greed, it's capitalism and good. Stupid fucking wingnuts…
I regret that I have but one vote to give to the Crazy Lady.
BOHICA is that trendy new neighborhood in Brooklyn. It used to be called DUMBO, just like your average Teabagger.
"Shudlick: Shouldn't Suck"
Another bagger who thinks he's me., or I'm he, or we are all together.
Hint to Minnesotans: Pshudlick is not a Swedish name.
Too bad these people are completely incoherent. It would be interesting to learn exactly what they're on about: Insurance? Tungsten? Baseball? I'd give worlds to know.
Hearing the words 'bend over, here it comes again' would mean party time at my house. Another reason I pity 'baggers.
I standz corrected!
I'm lucky if I can find an hour a week in which to get funky.
