LOL indeed.
Brilliant, win
First? >.<
No, sorry. You failed.
Seems not
Seems not what?
Seems not that Bob shall escape the tazer?
*Hands it over to Fester*
I certainly he doesn’t escape the tazer.
I move we quit using the tazer and move directly to cattle prod for this one…
The cattle prod might be a little too delightful,
but what the hell…I second that.
Cattle Prods… interesting.
*raises hand*
Seconded squared or as mother goose put it yesterday pi’d!
Reminds me of a friend:
“Ever played rock, paper, cattle prod?”
I’m afraid to ask what appendage he used for the cattle prod…
Oh Jings! He didn’t elaborate. I hadn’t thought of that.
Was he from Aberdeen by any chance? You know how those lads prod their cattle, or at least their sheep. :^P
Over on this side of the pond, it’s Arkansas, where men are men and sheep are very, very nervous. Or at least that’s what I saw on a t-shirt, anyway.
I’ve never heard of Aberdeen bastiality… unless the lads are in from the rigs… then it’s like Sodom and Gomorrah…
No, Aberdeen’s just strange. It’s cold up there and they have the strangest accents in the whole of Scotland. It is said that there are NO sheep in the fields in Aberdeen -the general consensus is that most have been evacuated and the rest are in bedrooms….
Oh, and when the Aberdonian footballers came to town someone in the crowd yelled “Ah, ya sheep shagger!” and the footballer turned round and said “don’t knock it ’til ye’ve tried it.”
I know I sound like such a parochial wee Stirlingshire kid but seriously…
It was blistering hot the time I was there… and the sun seemed to not want to set (it was June) Only went the once… networking and office for links to Edin and Glasgow… that was an unholy trip… got in and out as quick as I could.
If I said ‘Royston Vasey’ would you agree?
I had to Wiki Royston Vasey. I’ve never seen the TV series so I couldn’t comment….
If you like dark humor, you seriously need to watch League of Gentlemen.
I think it’s the best horror on TV…
LOL! No, bairn o’ Falkirk. (Central Scotland)
…
uh… what?
Do her sect believe in the Ozone layer?
They believe in it; they just believe it is an act of the Devil.
LOL!
And that the Liberally-biased media has created the whole “Ozone Layer” and “Greenhouse Effect”.
No no no, we believe in the Ozone Layer, but not the ‘Global Warming’ and ‘Ozone Hole’. Now, where were we? Ah yes, I need to pray.
With a penis.
I believe in the ozone hole. I can see it from my house.
.
… if only it wasn’t invisible.
Do him speak English?
You’re playing with fire, Scarecrow…I’ve seen Fester in action against those who attempt to mock him…believe me, it isn’t pretty.
*pulls MG behind the flame shield* Watch out; you don’t want to get caught in the cross-fire.
Why thank you, dear.
*hands Kuro a stick and marshmallow*
I actually think Unc’s English is grammatically correct. I could be mistaken…. I know I’m never grammatically correct. It sounds right.
It’s wrong.
It’s going to depend on whether you take “her sect” to indicate the group of people as a group, or an individual entity. For an example, replace “her sect” with any religion, say, Baptists for example (could be any religion): “Do Baptists believe in the ozone layer?” is correct; “Does the Baptist Church believe in the ozone layer?” is correct. So with UF’s comment, it could really go either way.
You, sir (ma’am?) are CORRECT.
I can’t believe I’m doing this, but …
Collective nouns such as team and staff may be either singular or plural depending on their use in the sentence.
Examples: The staff is in a meeting.
Staff is acting as a unit here.
The staff are in disagreement about the findings.
The staff are acting as separate individuals in this example.
The sentence would read even better as:
The staff members are in disagreement about the findings.

That’d be “ma’am”, literal!
He’s got you guys so scared, I love how you all scramble to defend him, it’s amusing me! He can’t find you, you know. You can say what you want you’re free!
I’m not free, but I am affordable.
I’m new here, so I don’t quite know WHY I should be afraid of Uncle Fester. Care to elaborate?
I just prefer excellent grammar and puntcuation.
But you can say what you want (insert punctuation here). I can certainly tell that you’re free.
“He’s got you guys so scared, ”
`
If by “scared”, you mean “watching Fester eviscerate imbeciles is consistently quality entertainment”, then yes.
Oooooooooooooooh noooooooooooooooooooes!! I’m scared.
We’re here for the rock…
Scissors, be careful….Paper, I’m guessing you’ve got it covered?
Of course I do! What do you take me for?
How old are you rock?
This is particularly a quirk of BrE vs. AmE usage. In American English collective nouns like staff, family and team are almost never plural, but in British English (thus in mainland Europe as well) they predominately are.
In the US my family is merely eccentric. In Britain, my family are barking mad.
Depends on the amount of money you have
The rich are eccentric, the working classes are simply mad…
You’re missing that one final screw?
I miss it too… It’s always the best one.
You should do it before you bury the body…

from some angles the poor girl must look like the business end of high powered binoculars by now…
… Wow, just wow.
Now I have to wonder if they are night vision high end binoculars or not.
I still want night vision goggles, dammit. Once again, nobody got me night vision goggles for Christmas.
Well… Wow. I have no way to cleverly make that into a “Have a Gangbang and then you can have a lower portion shaped like one” innuendo.
Damn, fail on me. I had clever but I ated it… -_-
Two things I never question on PK–Seth’s facts and Fester’s grammar.
Why?
Because they both always turn out to be correct.
So what?
Aw, look guys! It thinks it’s relevant!!!! They’re so cute when they do that! *tickles troll under chin with chain mail gloves* Cootchie cootchie coo!!!!
No, wait froo… I’m the one who plays with rocks,
remember? I wanna turn! I brought my own gloves
this time, and everything.
C’mon. Whadayasay?
*hands rocktroll to Rho*
Careful now, it bites. It thinks it’s bite is worse than it is, though.
Thanks froo! Wow, it’s a lot lighter weight than
it looks too…
It’s ever so cute, but “rock” is such a boring
name. What shall we call it, instead?
I shall call it ‘Peter’, because on this rock…..no, that’s not right.

Hmmmmm……..

TrogloTroll?
I think we already have a few of those…
Hey, wait. On that show, “Friends,” the guy
Joey is stupid, but kind of cute.
*holds rock up, MacBeth-style*
I hereby dub thee “Joey,” who is cute
(for a rock), but dumb (as a rock).

Hey, that tickles!
And he shall be mine. And I shall call him Joey. And he shall be my Joey

Ladies, ladies, don’t fight over me, there’s plenty to go around!

Do you think we can fix him? *sniff*
Well, it would keep him from breeding…
Oh alright, go ahead and fight over me then… I completely understand.

Pish posh on that silly ol’ rock! I have a better Rock now!

They really are mean and irresponsible aren’t they?
They picked you up, sunshine. It was done in kindness. Personally, I’d have been just as happy to have you left on the side of the road.
It really doesn’t matter to me, I’m just playing along…
They don’t own the site, even though they think they do.
Le sigh! *picks up Joey, holds him, pets him,
wipes his little rock drool*
There. Ya happy? Where’s froo?
She’s the mother you know…

FROO!! COME GET YOUR ROCK!!
FROO!! THIS ISN’T FUNNY!!

Now, if you’ll look right HERE, it clearly states that Rho and I are the sole owners of PK and its subsidiaries. So I’ll thank you to apologize.

Oi! You come back here and pick up your rubbi- oh, never mind.

Hurry, froo. One of these looks like Brad Pitt!
Eww, Brad Pitt? Yuck. Oh, and I’m a girl btw, just going along with the fun…
This is actually the most coherent you’ve been. Maybe you can come out of the sandbox if you’ve learned to play like an adult.
*snort*
Josephine, I presume?!
NEEEEEEEEVVVVVVEEEEEER! I’m not sure what you’re talking
about…
I will NOT act like an adult, you can’t make me!
*returns, out of breath*
Brad Pitt-rock got away. I was sooo close to
him this time…
*sees rock, miraculously put back together,
but now with a dainty pink headband*
It’s…a girl? Wow. I thought I just “fixed” it.
Well, Joey’s a weird name for a girl, so
we’ll call you Crystal. That’s a pretty name.
*finds a little rock doll for Crystal, lays it
next to her*
Now you get to sleep. You’ve had a hard
day, and your voice is getting gravelly.
You really are the epitome of kindness, rho. I’m going to hazard a guess that you find stray cats hard to walk by – even the spitty-scratchy ones?
rawr. *hiss*
Now, froo–
OMG is our friend!
*whispers to OMG*
She doesn’t like the vet’s thermometer…
That’s quite understandable – they all taste dreadful. I’m sure all medical thermometers used to be kept in the fridge, too…
I don’t think froo could taste back there, but
if you say so…
Couple of hours later, I’m still lauging… damned if I can think of a decent thing to say as a rejoinder, though! Poor old froo…
*wanders in*
*picks up larger bit of rock off floor*
Hmmm. Interesting. Basalt?

English, you buttock straddling colonial? Of course I speak English. I certainly speak it, and comprehend it better than you, and probably better than your whole family of cross-eyed, single toothed, in-breds.
You forgot “one toed”.
He’s the spokesman of the clan, having a back bone and no gills…
and I’d have gone for “webbed-fingered” if I was going for appendages…
Isn’t his the twelve-toed variety?
*emerges from flame shield with Kuro to roast marshmallows on the still-smoldering ruins of those who dare mock Fester*
*grabs up a stick and a marshmallow* I wonder if they’ll taste of napalm? That seems to be what Fester was using.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning…
…it smells like victory!
Just remember…Charlie don’t surf!!!!!
aaaaaaahhhhhh hahaaaaaahahhahahahahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
That was fun, whew! Lets do it again sometime real soon!?
I’m pussy cat really…
*teases Unc with a feather-and-bell toy*
and now I have a picture of a cat in buttered, crotchless Lurex…. Thanks.
@fillerbunny: You must post that picture over with the Lolcats, please!
I’d like her to post a before and after picture of herself if she tries that…
First ‘and’ in the third sentence is optional, leaning toward inapposite; I’d be inclined to delete it. I would not go so far as to say it’s wrong outright, however. :^P
*looks dreamy-eyed at slan*
It’s rare to find somebody using “inapposite” properly. I think I may develop a small crush on you if you continue.
Thing of beauty, boys n’ girls, thingof beauty…
Not to be supercilious about it, dear, but it’s even better if you increase your propinquity.
*slips a pillow behind diss in the event of swoonage*
Talk wordy to me, slan…mmmm.
Am I eviscerated yet?

Go away! No means no!

Ozone in the 90’s
I don’t get it, is this supposed to be another “lulz palin is liek teh stoopid!11!” caption? If so, it’s REALLY late. Or did Palin come in the news again with something regarding the ozon layer?
Gotta preserve that energy for the Obama ‘era’.
Must say that the presidential race wore me out a bit, so I’m leaving international politics to rest for a while
Yeah, I find myself rather unimpressed…….
She’s not been out of the news, what with Bristol whelping, then the paternal grandmother being in court for possession of a class-a drug with intent to supply, then naming the whelp Tripp, in honour of Grandma Johnston’s profession of supplying hillbilly heroin to the Alaskan gentry…
What is it with right wingers and OxyContin? Does the Republican party hand out free samples to new members or something?
I think because it’s prescribed, they don’t feel they are lowering themselves to the standards of those illegal-pot-smoking hippie liberals…
*grabs bong*
*grabs cheetos and joins MG under the lennon poster* i don’t mind lower standards!
Well, half of them buy it at first thinking it’ll help with their acne…
*giggles uncontrollably*
“What is it with right wingers and OxyContin?”
`
I’m guessing that nobody can stand to be around them unless they’re on some serious drugs.
What is it with NEOCONS and OxyContin? Do they hand out free samples to new members or something?
Fixed for accuracy
You forgot “and whining yet again about the media when some two-bit make-believe documentary-maker showed up at her doorstep”.
She’s as whiny as Bill O’Reilly, which is quite an accomplishment.
The next level is “As bat-shit crazy as Ann Coulter”. I don’t think she’ll achieve that, but it’s definitely in her sights.
“what with Bristol whelping, … then naming the whelp Tripp”
`
Thank goodness there are no Jews in Alaska, because if one of the chosen people fathered her next spawn, she’d name if Trayf.
And now the Muslims among us are asking if that joke is haLOL
*sigh*
OK, so there are no Muslims among us.
‘Halal’ is to Islam as ‘kosher’ is to Judaism.
Carry on.
Oddly enough I knew that, but I didn’t see your post. Funny!
Nice one
My, my. How many weeks, months or years have you been waiting for a reasonably suitable opportunity to pull that pun out your hat?
(And just in case I was unclear there: I found the “halol” very funny.)
“She’s not been out of the news,”
`
Didn’t she just try to scrounge a 16th minute of fame by giving an interview where she whined that Tina Fey and Katie Couric were, I don’t know, picking on her or something?
yes, i saw that one (my name is a link to the interview on youtube). she basically just whined for about eight minutes about how the media respected barack’s boundaries with his family and not hers and how tina fey and katie couric made her look stupid. it reminded me of a middle school girl complaining about not making the cheer squad.
Except that she keeps bringing her family up in the media…and the whole “family values”-thing….and the whole “I have a special-needs child”-thing….so, in essence, ya’ gets whatcha paid for….
Well, the Obama kids get trotted out almost as frequently. Going to school, getting the puppy, and the like.
Asa photo op, not a talking point… and lets not forget the junky, vadalising son in Iraq, shall we? Family values fail…
And the abstinence-only education platform. How’s that working out for you, Bristol?
That’s been debunked as an urban legend. Or a left wing talking point.
Actually less ‘debunked’ and more ‘not proven’… no one actually knows… she could have been fitting condoms on bananas since she was six, or maybe she still thinks that ‘IUD’ is something that Islamic terrorists leave by the side of roads to kill ‘our boys’…
the Conservative Right Party line is ‘abstinence only’, as is the guidelines from most of the Baptist sects and the Roman Catholic Communion in which MAdame Palin was raised… so we have a three for three in likelihood of what Bristol was taught at home (along with bad science)
And the “The media are unfair to me!” interviews she keeps having with various members of the media.
“Honey, I have an idea! Oooops…there it goes!”
“I saw it Sarah, that was almost a complete thought!”
I’ll buy that and call “win”…
It is like a finger pointing up at the moon. Don’t focus on the finger, or you will miss all that heavenly glory.
The moon is cold, hard, and lifeless. It only looks bright in comparison to all the dim around it. It has the IQ of, well, a rock. I would never have sex with the moon, no matter how cute it is. So, yeah. Apt comparison.
The moon is cold, hard, and lifeless just like Sarah Palin’s chances of becoming President in ‘12…
Maybe her chances for the presidency are small, but I think her chance for the nomination are pretty good, ekshually!
Republicans like their leaders to be dead behind the eyes…
I kind of hope she does get nominated, since there’s no way she’ll actually get elected.
It’ll at least keep Tina Fey employed!!
Did you see the interview where now Tina Fey, whom Palin loved so much in September, takes all the blame for Palin and McLame losing the election? TFF!
I think Tina Fay is hot… not Sarah Silverman hot, but hot none the less…
Last poll I saw, 63% of Republicans want Palin to run in oh-12.
So do 99% of Democrats.
Ba-dum SPASH!
You’ve got to love a Republican candidate whose campaign strategy is “I’m only going to go after the votes of people who live in really small towns, and actively reject the voters in big cities”.
Yeah, um, that’s going to work. Right. Good luck, hon.
Do you think she knows that the point of campaigning is to get a lot of votes? She didn’t seem to know that this time around.
=================
On top of that, she apparently now thinks that if Caroline Kennedy isn’t crucified in the media, it’s because of liberal media bias. Now I don’t remember Caroline running around the country telling people that they’re not real Americans, and I don’t remember her going in front of angry mobs and inciting them to shout violent threats against Americans.
Part of me suspects that if Sarah Palin got treated badly by the media, it might have something to do with her consistently anti-American and totally irresponsible behavior. She in fact didn’t get what she deserved: the media treated her FAR better than she deserved. No-one would have put up with a Democrat acting like a terrorist-inciting Imam, but Sarah Palin managed to become the darling of the extreme right with that behavior. I find that very revealing.
“Terrorist inciting Imam?” Yes, the left is so very very tolerant and open-minded, they don’t throw around silly names at ALL.
-
She’s controversial. She’s not a terrorist any more than Obama is a Muslim.
False moral equivalency fail.
Calling someone out in harsh terms for inciting hatred
DOES NOT EQUAL
Inciting hatred.
.
That said, you’re right, she’s not a terrorist any more than Obama is a Muslim. So why in hell does she get a pass for insinuating that Obama is a Muslim terrorist? Answer: She doesn’t.

Radical cleric inciting violent hatred
is a lot closer to equal to

Win!
Radical cleric inciting violent hatred……..Jeremiah Wright?
Oh please, most of the christian pastors/ministers who are in the public eye have said far worse things in public, to the media, on their tv shows, on their radio shows, than this guy ever said, to his congregation.
Face it, the face of christianity today is hate, dissension, divide and conquer, power, money and control. I know you don’t want to hear that, but it’s true, and if you’re honest with yourself, you’ll admit it, at least to yourself.
I am not only atheist, I am one of those anti-theists. I find the whole notion that people in this day and age still believe in the old ghost stories told by cavemen, revolting, and yet, I was pissed off that Obama separated himself from Jeremiah Wright.
As Uncle Fester puts it (paraphrasing), how
much do you want to trust a man with an
imaginary friend named Dave?
You’re taking it a step too far. You’ve described the face of RELIGION today, not Christianity. The two are not interchangeable. Nor should they be. I don’t know what churches you’ve been to that have spewed more hate-filled crap from the pulpit than Jeremiah Wright did (“God DAMN America! God F*CK America!”), but I feel sorry for you that you’ve had to hear that. It’s not mainstream, it’s not right, and it’s not Christianity as a whole. Not even close. You may be referring to teh more insidious factions on the radio, in the media, and the like when you’re talking about ’said far worse things in public’, but people like Jerry Falwell are hardly embraced by the religious right as their beacons of light. I’m sorry you’ve had such a rough time with religion. You’ve gotten the dregs, as I have of the Left. It makes me suspicious and skeptical about everything they say, which is where you seem to be about religion.
-
Also, Jeremiah Wright was spewing this sh!t from the pulpit for 20 years, and for no one to have noticed either means they are the worst church-goers ever (meaning they never went), they slept through the services, or they agreed.
“Also, Jeremiah Wright was spewing this sh!t from the pulpit for 20 years, and for no one to have noticed either means they are the worst church-goers ever (meaning they never went), they slept through the services, or they agreed.”
I haven’t seen more than the fifteen minute portion of the sermon that Fox News kept playing fifteen seconds of, but speaking as a white guy, I found his sermon to be not at all hate filled. It was a thoughtful and incisive commentary on the abuse blacks have suffered in our country, and a deflation of the idea so many Americans have that we are somehow better than the rest of the world. You know, the kind of hubris that says a bomb which kills a family is heroic if fired from an airplane circling miles away, but is evil if it’s driven to a location and detonated.
I’ve seen the whole thing… and as much as I don’t respect a man with an imaginary friend, the collective guilt thing wasn’t that far off the mark.
Knowing a lot of the hisroty of slavery, ‘God Damn America’ was pretty tame…
I wonder if he’d been a Native American, as opposed to a Black American he’d be accused of bile by whitey?
You mean the man whom Obama renounced
and rejected 10 months ago?
…when it became politically expedient to do so?
Nothing against Obama; I think a lot of people don’t pay that much attention in church…but I’m fairly cynical and I’ve always thought he joined the church to add to his credibility as a black politician, and then left when it was hurting more than it helped.
Well, since America is vying to become a third wolrd hell, I think it’s great that a place that prides itself on the seperation of church and state won’t countenance an atheist standing for election is a great start.
Over here, where we have a state religion (the Anglican communion) if a politician started invoking God in his speeches or in his electoral cant, he’d be dismissed as the sort of loon we don’t want in power. There are a goodly number of atheists in Parliament, and they do a fine job…
compared to the steady, George A Romero stylee- Zombie litany of ‘OBamessiah’ and ‘The Chosen One’ and ‘Obama-bot’ I think you’ll find that it’s
pretty rare on the left, so as to be negligible…
Seems the Right want to throw the names round with gay abandon, yet have an aneurysm if some one dare to do it back
Frou, pull on the big girl panties and stop being a bloody hypocrite. You’re better than that…
Fester, I seem to recall hearing a lot of “McSame” and “Caribou Barbie” comments pre-election as well; while I think it’s juvenile either way I think it’s facile to argue that it’s entirely (or even mostly) right-wing
name-calling. For what it’s worth, I don’t give Palin a pass for the ugly crowds, either.
The right wing certainly have more Obama synonyms than McCain’s one (which was widely used by people who didn’t like McCain in the Rep camp and by Libertarians) and ‘Caribou Barbie’ which I think originated
with Fox to emphasise her all American Frontier spirit, and her allegedge good looks… also, certainly here, the use of those names has largely gone by the bye, it’s only the right wingers who cling to the rhetoric of the usual na
not sure what went down there
“usual nastiness of the election, after the election is done and dusted…”
It’s really the sun that has all the glory since the moon is just a giant mirror…
Since the moon has no light of its own, and merely reflects sunlight, why then do vampires not die in the moonlight?
*opens mouth to make a crack about sparkly vampires, then closes it* No, I think I’ve killed enough of my soul today. *sigh*
It’s polarised light… so it’s obvious…
I think you meant that the moons light is diffused not polarized. This is the same reason the light from the planets doesn’t ‘twinkle’ the way a stars light does when it passes through our turbulent atmosphere.
As to vampires, I’ll leave that to you all.
hmmmmm……
Recycled sunlight provides no real warmth at night from how cold I have seen nights get with the full moon out. No UV radiation either since nobody tans at night.
The lack of UV is what I am going with.
Well, if you watch Angel, he can be out in the daylight, as long as it’s diffuse light. Also, Dracula could go out in daylight. I’m not sure when the ‘vampires die in the sunlight’ came from. Maybe Ann Rice?
Dracula could go out because he was Dracula. Anne Rice got it from somewhere but I can’t think of the original and exact mythos that crispy sunfriend vampire idea came from.
Stoker certainly used the device, but for the life of me I can’t recall if he explained the why.
I don’t think he did. I just remember that Dracula was seen in broad daylight more than once with no ill effects. In the Anne Rice stuff, even diffuse light would hurt, direct light would kill. As you get into more mainstream vampires (aAngel, Spike, and others (Twilight), the rules change. Angel and Spike could go out in sunlight as long as it didn’t directly hit them. Edward Cullen could go out in sunlight just fine, but didn’t because he was sparkly (ick). And there are other permutations of the legend that get too squinky to try to parse here.
I think I should warn you all when a vampire dies,
it’s never a pretty sight. No two bloodsuckers go
out the same way. Some yell and scream. Some go
quietly. Some explode. Some implode. But all will
try to take you with them.
Lost Boys FTW!!!!!!!
And might I add: “How do you like your maggots, Michael?”
Vlad could be out and about in sunlight, but IIRC he was powerless.
and, it’s STILL there! I guess us evil humans aren’t as powerful as we think we are…
Not that the human race isn’t doing its best to screw the planet over, so just wait a couple decades.
That’s RIGHT!! Despite all we’ve done to feck it all over, the planet is STILL THERE!! All those jackasses who cry ‘planet in danger’ are SO overstating the fact – after all, it’s OUR asses in the fire, n’est c’est pas mon ami? We’ve only killed off… how many species? And ours is… how far down the list?
Yeah the Earth should be able stick around for a while yet. Now if it will be able to sustain life is another matter entirely…..
I’m hoping that that was sarcasm.
It’s “n’est pas?” just so you know. You were close though!
It’s “n’est pas?” just so you know.
`
If I recall my High School French classes, it’s “N’est-ce pas?”
I thought it was Nez Pierce
Appaloosa?
Appaloosa? I hardly know her!
Apollonia?
I love that name. I’m using it in the novel I’m working on, which I hope to have published sometime before I curl up and die.
And if we keep going at the present rate, this planet will be nothing more than your screen name…
i believe you overestimate mankind (or underestimate the sturdiness (sic?) of nature). life on this piece of rock has survived through more than us feeble humans. there have been five major extinctions (ordovician (50%), devonian (50%), permian–triassic (90% sea, 66% land), triassic–jurassic (50%-80%) and cretaceous–tertiary (50%)) the last one was that pile o’ rock that hit the planet, while the big ones are believed to be connected to an incredible amount of volcanic activity. so trust me on this: whatever we do and no matter how bad we fuck up, give life a couple of millenia and it’s back for more…
George Carlin put it succinctly: “The earth will be just fine! Humans? Are fncked!”
It’s still there in patches, you moron…
It’s closing up now. I guess that’s because we have all been such good humans
lately.
Well, banning CFCs was a good move…
You see? We’re not all that bad…
Not so great either tho.
I believe you are mistaken. This from Wikipedia. Link in my name:
Since the adoption and strengthening of the Montreal Protocol has led to reductions in the emissions of CFCs, atmospheric concentrations of the most significant compounds have been declining. These substances are being gradually removed from the atmosphere. By 2015, the Antarctic ozone hole would have reduced by only 1 million km² out of 25 (Newman et al., 2004); complete recovery of the Antarctic ozone layer will not occur until the year 2050 or later. Work has suggested that a detectable (and statistically significant) recovery will not occur until around 2024, with ozone levels recovering to 1980 levels by around 2068.[30]
yet again…

***boring***
I’m not sure satire has to be amusing…
True UF, but there should be some wit or some semblance of irony.
Unless it’s gone completely over my head, this has neither.
The previous post, ‘Thoughts’ had something to which people could relate, so it’s meaning was understood, but it wasn’t witty, so at least some of us thought it was boring.
This one, well, I can’t say I understand what the poster was even trying to convey. There are several possibilities, none of which I find witty, but that could just be my issue.
I think the general belief by both Crazy yonug earthers (like her) and Crazy right wingers (like her) that the ecological problems that the earth currently faces are not down to humanity. This is for two reasons
1) It makes us a bit too god like (although, if one takes the Eden myth literally, the fear of humans becoming as gods was the thing that got us kicked out)
2) It screws up her deep pocketed corporate friends (although they’re now realisng they can make money out of the whole ‘Chicken little’ smorgesbord of indifferent to bad science and lazy media who just peddle hysteria)
Jesus, Mary and Joseph… I should wear my glasses when I type more…
You’re reading an awful lot of ’smart’ into that caption that I’m just not sure was there. I could be wrong.
You are demonstrating why art is subjective. What do you, the viewer get out of it, which usually says more about the viewer than the art.
From the TV show Taxi: they were standing around discussing a piece of art, and what it meant. The painting was a red circle in the middle of a rectangular white canvas. They were debating whether it meant loneliness, despair, maybe strength. Alex Rieger says “It’s the flag of Japan!!!”.
I think this caption was the flag of Japan, but you saw more so kudos to you.
I think you don’t get context…
No, I’m just too literal for my own good. Most of the captions up here have little or nothing to do with what’s in the actual picture, so they fail immediately. Of course most of those don’t make the home page.
In this picture, she is clearly pointing at something visible because they are both looking and smiling/laughing at it/them whatever it/them might be.
Since she wouldn’t be able to see the ozone layer, I discount that as a possibility. Stretching it to indicate their beliefs/policies on global warming is, well, a stretch.
In the post above I did say: “This one, well, I can’t say I understand what the poster was even trying to convey. There are several possibilities, none of which I find witty, but that could just be my issue.”
What you laid out was one of the possibilities, and I still don’t find it witty.
That’s ok, if we all had the same sense of humor, irony, or flavor of chewy center, it would be a boring world.
I didn’t say it was ‘funny’… but based on her known beliefs, politics and generla lack of knowledge about science, she could well think the Ozone is visible…
Ok, I just created a very simple one from this same pic that I think works better than any of the other ones I see in the list. It’s not ‘funny’, but I think it works on two levels.
it’s likeable and random!
Hey, cool name there
Does that mean you’re me as a robot?
No, rather, you’re *he* as a robot. He sees your name the way
you see his name, see?
Anyway, no matter which, scum-bot/Scum is/are good.
Umm, I recognize all the words, but…
what??? He sees my name the way I see his? He sees my name as scum-bot?
Sorry, I think I’ve missed something.
Of all the things I’ve lost in life, I miss my mind the most.
squishy humans
I believe the term is Meat-bag. Next are you going to tell me to bite your shiny metal ass?
I can oddly hear her saying this… Complete with “Lawl”
You know you’re in a bad place when the COMMENTS are more amusing than the pic.
…Actually, I take that back. That’s PK in general.
Haha, look at there faces- Priceless.
People, people, people…
She is obviously saying, “Russia!”
