First comment?
first comment still not featuring complete sentences.
I’m just keeping up tradition.
THIS SENTENCE NO VERB.
…in bed?
the whole thing?
Oh god help us
Oh, god help me! Hold my breath as I wish for death…
darkness imprisoning me
all that I see
absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
trapped in myself
body my holding cell
Well that’s depressing. I’m off to kill myself now.
When I was a senior in high school, I had an Army recruiter tell me that, after seeing some of my test scores, that if I joined, I would likely make rank very quickly. I thought about it, as the choice was now between two extremes (military service, hippie college).
I asked my English/Philosophy teacher for advice. He lauded the idea of serving in the armed forces for a good five minutes, emphasizing the social benefits of serving, the discipline and respect. Then a pause. “But then,” he said, lingering, ” you ever read ‘Johnny Got His Gun’?”
That’s WAY more introspection than I gave it. Of course, by the time I was a senior in high school, my dad was a LtC and both of my brothers were enlisted so it’s not like it was a mystery. I told the recruiter that since the Army makes you get up early and run there was little chance I’d being joining.
I tried repeatedly to join the military. I actually got into the Guard for two weeks, before they realized I’d just had knee surgery and quietly ushered me out the back door. When I tried to join the Marines and the Army, they “P3″‘d me- qualified me as permanently class 3, unfit for duty, due to flat feet, and J sign stress disorder, whatever that is.
The funny thing is, now, twenty years later, the Army has changed it’s standards enough that I could join, at least for the next nineteen months!

yayyy
> THIS SENTENCE NO VERB
Good Choice.
Verbing Weirds Language.
Except, you know, not until January.
Yep. Slighly better might have been “soon featuring” or “Complete sentences coming soon to a White House near you.” meh. It’s still funny.
only when he has his teleprompter.
otherwise..
i… uh… karl marx… am…. blah
Actually i heard him speak in person. He somehow made it past the border guards on montana that turn away anyone interesting or famous.
No teleprompter and I must say he has enough skill as an orator to keep me interested when it’s incredibly hot, the entire town is in a stadium with no air conditioning.
sorry that McCain lost, but seriously give credit where credit is due.
besides, I believe all president’s have teleprompters during their speeches, or are readily memorized beforehand.
I watched that pressconference though, and sometimes I really got impatient with Obama, how slowly he went. Ofcourse I can’t blaim him, he’s just choosing his words very carefully, wich is a good thing. I snickerd at how he responded at the puppy-question btw, he does have a sense of humor
must be the only time it was evidenced.
You’ve not read ‘Das Kapital’ have you?
Woooo! I hope he can still find a way to slip a silly soundbite in once in a while. You know, for nostalgic purposes. =P
We’ll still have Bidey!
Still no complete sentences
But he’s so cute!
*shudder* LOL. SO not my type. So not even CLOSE to my type!!!!
LOL! Well, one woman less to elbow out of the way
What’s your stance on Emanuel? 
Ok, I’m a right wing nut. Do you honestly think I can get behind (or in front of) a total left wing nut? LOL. Honestly though, I go more for the tall, light, and skinny type. Got SOOOOOOOO very lucky with my hubby!!! And the fringes, whew! (froofrou is a happy happy girl
)
LOL! Congratulations, girl!
I am so totally in love with Emanuel right now. He’s just so… bad. *shivers pleasurably* I’d serve under him
So that means he’s mine, too? 
Check out my link. HAWT.
DUDE.
*dies*
I don’t think there are words strong enough to express how hot that guy is. Ngh.
:throws-up-innards-after-seeing-that-hideous-pic:
Pelosi seems to think so, I didn’t think she knew HOW to act coy.
ck..thank you..thank you…thankyou
THAT’S a Kodak moment…Pelosi looks like she’s about to go 9 1/2 Weeks!!!
Yow! (fans herself)
HAWT cubed!
Umm, is he nuzzling Pelosi there? And she’s responding? Hmm.
OH GOD YES. Rahm is so hot. Jeez louise.
He reminds me of an older, less cracked out Robert Downey Jr. It’s the eyes.
Yes! I totally agree. And it’s the slightly naughty look. Mmm.
Mmm indeed.
There ya go… that’s who else he reminds me of!
Yeah, if Robert Downey Jr. and George Clooney left California and had a baby…
I just like nerds, we smell our own.
Oh no, the hubby is not a nerd. Too broad in the shoulders
Former baseball player. He just happens to be lanky like a swimmer, EXACTLY my type. And, well, like I said about the fringes……..hehehehehheheheeee…
Dang. Sounds delicious. IOW, sounds like mine, ‘cept mine is a swimmer & a nerd, too. Mmmmm, lanky nerds…
I was the brooding, passionate art geek. Stopped being lanky my senior year.
Hey…art geeks need love too. Yum.
Hey now, I played soccer and rugby and was still considered a nerd.
Being First chair trumpet(freshman) First chair French Horn(soph and
junior) and first chair Euphonium (senior and college) will do that
for you. But I will say this… anyone who tried to diss band nerds
got a kick from a leg that could leg press almost 750 lbs.
And no, they could never run… I always caught them.
Just saying sports does NOT equal not being a nerd
Totally. Basketball center does NOT cancel out the science geek!
“Light”? Do you mean skin color? Are you serious – and no one else felt the need to call her on that???
It is in contrast to the ‘tall, dark and handsome’ that women stereotypically want.
I think I like this fellow, here is a quote: At a 2003 pro-Israel rally in Chicago, Emanuel told the marchers Israel was ready for peace but would not get there until Palestinians “turn away from the path of terror” — He seems to have his head screwed on right. Good choice Obama for your Cheif of Staff! But Biden… please, think only good thoughts about Obama, we need to keep him alive!!
Cute? Joe Biden? Oy. That gigawatt smile scares heck out of me. He needs to lay off the tooth whitener. Other than that, not too bad a guy. A media hound, to be sure, but not too terribly shabby.
The capped, overwhitened teeth, the hair plugs, the smarminess…….whoosh
Do you think he might start Grecian Formula once the hair-plugs take?
his eyes disappear when he laughs, its like a vortex or something
When the man laffs, he laffses hard! I’ve heard him, he’s deafening. And it’s not fake – his fake laugh is like anyone else’s real laugh.
My husband and son and mother in law and several other people I love do that too.It is entirely endearing to me because I see them fully living their joy.
ymmv
The hairplugs… when in the SNL VP debate Fey said, “Gee, Joe, your hairplugs aren’t real noticable til you get close’ I did a spit take.
Don’t judge me! I have a father complex! I just… *flails helplessly*… the smile, the blue eyes, just his cute, cute little face…
I like Bidey and I am unashamed. Well, sort of.
Hmmm, might have to make Lynn my dirty little girl tonight.
Damn, dude. Just… Is it lunch time yet?
It is 1:33 here… *wicked grin*
I only tease because I love.
Dude. When DON’T you?
>_>
<_<
When you say it like that, sounds a bit cliche’. We don’t have sex every night, we game, watch movies, and cuddle too!
Please don’t destroy my illusions. If I’m not getting any, someone should.
I would just like to say that the word “dude” showed up far too much
in this thread for me to not comment on its presence.
Th-th-th-thats all f-f-folks!
I find it particularly funny that the lol isn’t a complete sentence. Hypocrisy?
I, for one, welcome our new competent overlords.
If you peek at the Landover Baptist store, they have my absolute favorite: Mitt Romney as Celestial Republican Overlord.
Magic Underwear sold separately?
Thanks for making me think about Romney’s underwear. Although, to be fair, this is not the first time.
*goggles at Guinny* Do I dare even guess WHY you were thinking about his undies?
*shifty eyes*
*small voice*
…I think Romney’s hot, too…
Maybe if he keeps his mouth shut?
Oh, no, he’s allowed to open it. I just have very specific uses for it.
They have Mormon Underwear, too. You can get it as a thong, lol.
“The white house now featuring complete sentences.”
Not complete sentance.
Irony. Doin it right. GG >_<
Good pic, tho. lol.
Agreed. There should have at least been a colon. I do like it though.
Perhaps there will be a Colin, at least in the cabinet.
Yeah, maybe he can be like, I don’t know, Secretary of State? Yeah! Except this time they won’t make him lie to the U.N. and then kick him in front of a bus when the going gets tough.
I was thinking SecDef or DNI. I would add ambassador to the UN, but the irony would be a little much.
Yes to the colon, and “White House” should be capitalized. (And no comments about it being capitolized, please.)
But every time I read ‘colon’, I keep thinking “large intestine”! OK, I’m a science geek… Sigh.
Jesus, for a community based on spelling things wrong and using improper grammar to be funny, you guys are rather picky. i thought the colon was implied by leaving the middle line clear.
Please, Benvolio, don’t go “nuk-yu-lar” on us. It’s an excellent LOL, and I salute you for it. *stands up and bows* It’s just that if we are going to pick on someone else’s grammar, usage, punctuation and capitalization, then ours had better be superior. (Something about stones at glass houses, y’know…)
I see your point and I thank you for the salute.
Looks like he’s checkin out his new porch
What about capitalization of proper nouns!?
It will be quite an adjustment to have a President that doesn’t read everything off cue cards and can actually – gasp – articulate thoughts clearly and eloquently.
He’ll likely edit his own speeches too, as we saw him doing during his campaign.
Well done USA. As a proud onlooker, I salute you all on your choice.
Bee;
Once in a while we get it right…I hope. I think there’s a renewed sense of hope here that hasn’t been around in quite a long time. Many of us are just hoping that he can ‘walk the walk’…
Except he DOESN’T. His speeches are all written and he memorized the word for word. LOL. When he loses his place in his memory, and has to speak off the cuff, he stumbles worse that Bush ever has. I really hope they pay Obama’s handlers well. If they ever quit, he’s gonna be in deep trouble.
Hey it only took 3 and a half hours for someone to bring this up!
You guys are slowing down.
Maybe, but 1) he writes them himself (for the most part), 2) remembers them, 3) pronounces the words correctly without 4) making up random words as he goes along.
As an extra added bonus, he never, ever looks like a drunken frat boy caught raiding his dads liquor cabinet.
I am incredibly relieved at the prospect of being able to listen to my President without cringing! On the other hand, i think the “uh”s are gonna get to me really fast.
How sad is it that after Bush we are now just glad our next president can speak properly? LOL
I read an article by a guy who identified himself as a mental health professional who said (I’m paraphrasing here), “Honest to God, I’m not trying to make fun or be ugly, but from his symptoms, I think Bush has neurological problems and/or brain damage. He can’t talk properly, he stumbles and fumbles and can’t get out a coherent sentence, he laughs and giggles inappropriately, he’s always falling down. He has more symptoms than some of our inpatients.”
I wonder if, years from now, we’ll find out that this guy was right.
All that drug and alcohol use coming back to haunt him, maybe…..
So will Obama’s past drug use come back to haunt him as well? And on that note, can we prove he never dealt the stuff?
-
/trolling
Go whack yourself.
That’s really beneath you, frou. Back that accusation up.
And experimenting in college and being blotto for years are two very different things, but then why bother with that distinction when a charge of dealing is so much more inflammatory?
Really, I want to see your source.

Here is the money quote:
“The news here is—what, exactly? That Obama, who now appears grounded, motivated, and poised, formerly appeared grounded, motivated, and poised? That his inner uncertainties, such as they were, were more apparent to himself than to others? That he was marginally less of a pothead than he has made himself out to be?”
“Marginally less of a pothead” part made me lol. This coming from a former
marginal pothead.
Lol. Did you guys miss the
/trolling
in Frou’s comment?
No, I just think that adding /trolling is a cover for saying something really nasty. She usually much more even tempered than that and I thought I would call her on it.
That okay?
Jeez, if I’d done that much coke and alcohol in my 20s, my brain would look like a sea sponge! Good point; it would be a medical miracle if he *didn’t* have dain bramage.
Ok, I’ve linked the video at my name above. I just have to say when I saw this, it finally answered for me why the hell Texans would have voted this guy in in the first place. At one point Bush actually sounded intelligent and composed. I would have never believed it if I hadn’t seen it.
Really, it’s a pretty clear object lesson against binge drinking. The research now shows you can f up your brain pretty badly with long term binge drinking. I don’t know if it’s reversible in any way.
I don’t flatter myself that I still have the energy level of 10 years ago, but that was truly distressing. It’s probably not doing his heart and liver any favors, either. Thanks for the informative link.
i was under the impression that we do expect it for the most part. Many of our presidents were great orators. We remember our presidents for their speeches, but Bush made it all the more prevailent. Absense makes the heart grow stronger.
Absence actually makes the heart grow fonder…
Bush is smarter than Obama.
How so?
So’s my dog, what’s your point?
Wait I read that wrong. Please ignore that last comment, dyslexia fail.
You shouldn’t put your dog down like that.
Sorry…didn’t note your dyslexia fail post…I’m sure your dog feels better now.
Certainly, MY dog’s feeling a little bit better as well. Any news over there on what dog comes with the kiddies to the White House? We haven’t got that kind of news on tap here.
As the T-shirt says, dyslexics are teople poo…
Well, he is a full bred pug so he probably is half retarded.
Since when is a below average student is smarter than the guy at the top of the class? Where did you guys go, super crazy, no way school?
Didn’t Gen. George Armstong Custer graduate the top of his class at West Point?
According to wikipedia his class rank was closer to McCain’s. AKA Dead Last.
Click my name for citation.
Lol…maybe I should’ve paid better attention in History Class…
Full disclosure I cheated off the guy next me through the first half of American History back in high school. Now I have the Google to make it look like I know what I’m doing.
OK…maybe I should learn to Google first…
Um… no. Bush is an ex-crackead, and none-to bright to begin with. Obama on the other hand has no outstanding record of drug use. I think he has more braincells.
Actually Obama has a better record of drug use than bush retard, he wrote about smoking pot and doing blow in one of his books. Not that I’m trying to defend Bush(that’s pretty much pointless), but seriously Obama is not Jesus, get off his nuts!
… but not yet a full term served in his vast five years of political experience. I wonder if he’ll run for UN Secretary General after a year or two in office.
Isn’t “I’m the decider” a complete sentence?
And over 57 states.
It’s actually over 9000 states now. Vegeta says so.
But who can listen to a complete sentence when it takes 20 minutes to say with all the “um”s and “uh”s?
Uhhhh, look. You have a – um – point there.
It’s called “pausing to think.” I know that’s an alien concept to some people, but give it a try; you might find you like it.
I prefer thinking before talking.
Yeah but do that in politics and you look like Bush with that deer in the headlights
look… but I have faith that at least after thinking when you talk, it’ll be apparent
that you WERE actually thinking… unlike Bush.
Fiiiiiiinally.
You know what’s really funny? The caption is grammatically F.U.B.A.R. Just wanted to let you guys know.
He’ll want to get rid of the BDSM chamber, no doubt.
He could donate it to the Nexus family!
ohoho…
:X
for a second i thought the caption meant prison sentences and found it pretty tasteless. i wonder if that makes me racist.
Who are all these weird people? And, why do they care?
