Bad Brains are an American hardcore punk band formed in Washington, D.C. in 1977. They are widely regarded as being among the pioneers of the genre,[1][2][3] though the band’s members objected to the term “hardcore” to describe their music.[4] Minor Threat, who also were formed in Washington, D.C., were influenced by this type of hardcore punk and adopted it as their primary style.
Originally formed as a jazz fusion ensemble under the name Mind Power, Bad Brains developed a very fast and intense punk rock sound, which was both musically complex, and was often played faster and more emphatically than the music of many of their peers. They were also an adept reggae band, in a sort of Jekyll-and-Hyde arrangement, while later recordings featured elements of other genres. Bad Brains are also notable as religious followers of the Rastafari movement.
they had a great song named “Love Sponge”
very reggee (sp?) feel and damn funny to boot
I LOVE that sing! Haven’t heard it in ages! I’m going to get some Bad Brains now…or eat some….braaaiiinnnsss *ahem*
Also liked Fishbone alot…”Party at Ground Zero” is a great tune…
Yeah, they were pretty cool.
Actually I like Soul Rebel by Bob Marley, and Boy George by Louis Rankin. (Which reminds me once I get my new computer (my old one is now as much use as a one legged man at an arse kicking contest
The hard drive is what they technically refer to as knackered, beside which it’s 8 years old so I needed a new one anyway) I must watch Shottas again. I’ve got it on my external Hard Drive.
While Best Brains are the folks behind Mystery Science Theater 3000. Thank you.
145th!!!!!
Best Brains, Inc. (first known as Hair Brain Productions) is an entertainment company based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. It is best known for its creation and production of the comedy/sci-fi television program Mystery Science Theater 3000, aka MST3K (1988 – 1999). The company ceased producing the program in 1999 and closed its studio. Until 2007, its only functions were to sell MST3K-oriented merchandise and negotiate box-set releases through Rhino Home Video.
On November 5, 2007 Jim Mallon and Paul Chaplin of Best Brains revived the MST3K brand by launching a new series of Flash-based animated shorts featuring the robots of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on the official website.
FURST!
nub
Bad Brains broke up and reformed several times over the years, sometimes with different singers and/or drummers. The band’s classic and current lineup is singer H.R., guitarist Dr. Know, bassist Darryl Jenifer, and drummer Earl Hudson, H.R.’s younger brother.
Bad Brains were ranked #99 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.
Though the official name of the band is Bad Brains, they are often referred to as The Bad Brains, sometimes even by the band members themselves. Beastie Boys were huge Bad Brains fans, and they intentionally selected a name with the initials B.B. because of this.[5]
I’m surprised at how much I have come to enjoy the Beastie Boys. I also like Rage Against the Machine and since I am old, I often confuse the two. I complained about this to my teen aged daughter who suggested the confusion is because they are essentially white guys rapping.
If you like them try Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit…they’re a bit more “metal”, and might be an “acquired taste” kinda thing…but I’ve always been into the “heavier” kind of music…
How do you feel about Beethoven, then? (heavy metal classical!)
Beethoven is a fave…but LOVE Wagner….
Another one with “mixed” tastes; I’ve got Jean Michel Jarre’s Oxygene, Dixie Chicks, James Darren, Amy McDonald and a Scottish folk duo called the Corries in my car CD stacker.
In my car CD I’ve got Metallica – Master of Puppets, U2 (three or four), A mix of Wagner, Pantera – Cowboys From Hell, MC-5 Kick Out the Jams, and my guilty pleasure….Rick Springfield’s Greatest Hits *blushes*
Master of Puppets is a great album. Love Pantera but gotta mix it up with a bit of the Beatles to keep it interesting. And Less than Jake.. they’re a fun, king of happy-punk irish band.
If you’re into metal definately check out Sepultura or Soul Fly (Sepultura I think broke up and the lead singer went to Soul Fly for a bit – didn’t listen to them much but heard they were good) – they’re both more of a heavy metal/death metal sort of feel but if you want something fast and loud with a decent tribal feel, check it out.
Oh, PanTera; not Panera. I was beginning to crave a sammich.
Carry on.
lol, my bad… it’s the keyboard!! is swear. it ignores letters sometimes, really…
a panera sandwich would be good, though..
Random Fact For Today: Panera Bread is called St. Louis Bread Company in St. Louis.
Random fact: I worked at Panera once.
Wasn’t Sepultura from Brazil? I think I saw them at Ozzfest some time back…
i had to look it up to be sure, but yeah, they’re brazilian.
Widespread Panic, Leftover Salmon, Flogging Molly, Reverend Horton Heat, The Pogues, Shane MacGowan, Dropkick Murphys, and (very recently) Toy Dolls [link]
LOVE Rev. Horton Heat!!
Ever hear Gaslight Anthem? They have a Greenday-kinda feel… Loved the Pogues back in the day, but I go way back to the Damned, Black Flag, Circle Jerks…good times.
Never heard of them (G.A.) I was never much into the 70s and 80s punk scene, but as I get older I find there were bright lights that I missed. Black Flag I can take or leave, but I really respect Rollins’ spoken word stuff. I bet there’s a lot more I’d like if I were exposed to them.
[link]
I just found RHH’s “Eat Steak”- man, I should have linked to that to begin with!
I wouldn’t even know where to start. I’ve got everything from Billie Holliday to the Sex Pistols to Sufjan Stevens to Molotov to Lyle Lovett to Styx to Wilson Pickett to Rilo Kiley….
Not much into classical though and although I like some country, I harbor almost an allergic reaction to bluegrass.
I think it hit me early on…mom was a 60-s hippie (hence my love for all things Hendrix, Cream, MC-5, Jefferson Airplane) and my dad was a WWII vet who loved Classical music and Motown (which is why there’s a soft spot in my heart for Sam Cooke). They never discouraged my musical tastes, but encouraged me to appreciate all kinds of music.
Never got into country or BG music either, Diss…I think I’m falling in love with you.
Omg-The MC5!! Bless you MG! Saw them live once…everything you’d imagine. Opening act was a very young Alice Cooper. Good night all around.
May I suggest to you, if you don’t already know them (and I suspect you do given your excellent taste in music), King’s X.
Metal with intelligence and a guitar player who actually understands how to make music with the instrument, not just maximum notes in minimum space (did someone say the Insufferable Malmsteen?).
Love them(King’s X)…I’ve seen them in Baltimore and at the Merriweather Post Pavillion a couple of times…always loved the “retro” feel they had, even back in ‘88. Very underrated band…a three-piece that has a HUGE live sound!! I’ve always thought that their studio albums never really did them justice…they are great live!!
I’m jealous about the MC-5…never got to see them live…I did, however, see Wayne Kramer in the mid-90’s with Ian Astbury (the Cult) on lead vocals…wan’t bad, but I’m sure it wasn’t the same experience you had!!
How about The Legendary Shack Shakers? Demented Rockabilly….great stuff.
And what happened to the reply button on this one?
And….Doug Pinnick just released a solo album. What I heard so far is really good. Don’t know if he’s touring behind it.
Oh I love Lyle Lovett. Strangely, I *hate* country but love the modern bluegrass bands. Can’t stand the old stuff, though.
PM,
Here’s a link for Gaslight Anthem…check ‘em out if they come close to you…good live show!!
Wow, thanks. They’re pretty cool- kind of a Springsteen/Mellencamp sound, without the faux working class affectation. I could listen to them!
Yeah, most country is take it or leave it for me…it doesn’t bother me, some of it’s pleasant enough, but I don’t generally like it enough to bother buying or downloading. Bluegrass, however, just Sets Me Off. Gah! Twangy whiny awful unappealing mess to me; about as bad as being forced to listen to some yowling wannabe popstar on American Idol or something.
I have difficulty with the steel guitars and banjo-type stuff…not all country music is bad, but it’s like you said…sometimes the whiny stuff just drones on and on…kinda like Dhoti…
I mostly like Leftover Salmon, and I guess calling them “bluegrass” is a little limiting. They call themselves “Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass”!
Nickel creek!
Yeah, I like them a lot!
I heard them the first time at a concert for saving the songbirds (Bonnie Raitt was the headliner, and my friend knew I would want to see her). Nickel creek are (is?) electrifying live–they more than held their own. (there was also some singer-songwriter type with seriously sappy stuff, and John Mayer, who was a yawn–dude obviously hadn’t rehearsed at all.)
Mark, look up an old Bluegrass picker named Hopkins. I wish I could remember his first name, but it escapes me. He’s a relative (a rather close one) of mine. My grandpa was also in a Bluegrass band for a LOOOOOOONG time. They played in Rockcastle County Kentucky and whatever country venue that is around there. I’m sorry, my brain is fried today, and I’m not remembering the names
Thanks Froo I’ll punch him up on Pandora tonight!
@ froo, when your brain isn’t so fried, drop me an e-mail with his name (and your granddads too) i’m a sucker for old time bluegrass. if you ever hear it sang in a spot where you get an echo, especially from a bit of a distance, it’s easy to hear why it has the twangy, off-kilter keys.
I like Linkin Park but I can’t stand Limp Bizkit. This could be because I pretty much think Fred Durst is an ass.
True…very true…but I like his music…also like Korn, Ramones and I think I have the obligatory Van Halen CD in there as well…
*charro has mostly European electronic music in her car – mostly of the industrial/EBM/synthpop/futurpop persuasion*
Never got into that…but my daughter and her freinds listen to it a bit…maybe I’ll give it a try.
“Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance…”
It’s not all German.. Sheesh
“Would you like to pet my monkey?”
Oh really, it might as well be.
Blargh.
Fred Durst does seem to be a total ass, but I can’t help but enjoy some of their songs anyway if I’m in the right mood (frustrated & pissed off, I guess!)
He did it all for the nookie, diss…the nookie…
>_>
Ya don’t say… I was very fond of Rearranged instead of Nookie.
Let’s see. DWN’s music likes.
Three Day’s Grace, old Metallica though some of the new has promise, Korn, Manson, definitely NIN, Blue October, Van Halen, Ozzy, Rob Zombie, Bush, Orgy, stuff like that. Linkin Park is good though I don’t listen to them like I used to.
Oddly enough, I have an urge to listen to Placebo when I get home but I am not fond of the memories.
I get to see NIN next week in Chicago
I saw Manson in like 1997 with L7 and White Zombie in 1996 with Korn and Filter. Good shows.
Dude. I called the radio station trying to win NIN tickets once. Caller 105 wins there. I was caller 104. Talk about heartbroken.
Oh that’s just sad
Also, I suggest you check out Skinny Puppy. Perhaps some Ministry or Meat Beat Manifesto? Ooh, definitely Nitzer Ebb.
Oooh, I envy your concert fortune and appreciate your suggestion.
*blushes* Awwwww… *acts coy* You are too kind.
I saw Ministry back in ‘91 or ‘92…they had NIN and a band called Grinder open…NIN blew everyone off the stage…
*huggles the Charro* Nah, just honest.
@MG: Well duh, NIN is amazing stuff. @_@
I can take or leave Ministry (except for the “Pusillanimous Radio Version of Jesus Built My Hot Rod”), but I like one of his other bands, The Revolting Cocks quite a bit. Well, I like about six of their songs anyway.
I enjoy the Revolting Cocks as well, but as a general rule I prefer my cocks to not be revolting.
In general, I prefer mine to be… well, mine! I don’t find it revolting, but sometimes it’s behavior is a little naughty
*huggles* for DWN
DWM has decent musical tastes. I like Blue October’s new stuff. VH is classic, and I like some Rob Zombie too.
I find that NIN, Korn, and Manson work Lynn up. Good times ensue.
Ooooh, good line up. Sadly, my wife is not a fan of any of the above.
I agree with Jane on Limp Bizkit. Durst is horribly annoying. I like Linkin Park, though. Good angry music.
Music suggestion fail.
*blinks*
Well, RATM usually sounds a LOT more pissed off than the Beastie Boys, if that helps. Love ‘em both.
Giant Waldo is standing right behind him. See the red and white stripes?
LOL! I can see Waldo walking up like Paul Bunyon, “Here I am Bitches!” then commences to wreak havoc like Godzilla.
If he turns his glasses to face the sun just right, he starts focusing the beam onto the crowd…just like frying ants with a magnifying glass in the summer…ahhhh…good times…good times…
I used to do that too. But the thought of a giant Godzilla sized Waldo frying us like ants is just terrifying.
{Link}
Partied with the Giant Waldo once…learned never to go anywhere without an asbestos suit and a fire extinguisher…
That hurts me! Fire would be my least favorite way to die.
That’s why I take the immortality pill…sold by Billy Mays on QVC at 4am last week…it was just three easy payments of $19.99…and he threw in the shamwow and miracle peeler for absolutely nothing!! All I had to do was cover the cost of shipping and handling!! who says insomnia doesn’t pay off once in a while?
Billy Mays’s mouth is the recommended place for a sock! But, now that you mention it, an immortality pill for three easy payments of $19.99 and a few shamwow and miracle peeler is a pretty damn good deal.
*turns on the tv and turns down the volume to a livable level*
and by few shamwow I meant free shamwow
*drinks more coffee*
You did that?
There is a term, coined by science fiction writer Robert Heinlein actually: “Waldo” which is actually used in real life now. Basically its a term for mechanical arms controlled by the movements of your own arms. They’re usually used in industrial applications.
There’s an example in the movie ‘Dave’ when he’s touring the factory as president and puts his arms in the machine and goes ‘I once caught a fish THIS BIG!’ Those were Waldoes.
Consequently, I guess it would be feasible for someone to make a giant machine with Waldoes to terrorize a city akin to Godzilla.
And here’s a fact about Waldo. His actual name is Wally. It’s a British creation by Martin Handford, a graphic designer and artist who was employed to draw crowds for clients (which was part of the inspiration of Wally.) Wally is known as Waldo in America, and the villain of the piece is known as Odlaw (Waldo backwards. This is even the case in Britain where it would have been Yllaw, kind of explains the reason why it’s Odlaw doesn’t it) It was later made into a series of cartoons (which I personally used to love!!)
I still can’t find Waldo myself ><
Where’s Wierdo? Oh that’s easy. Midland, Texas.
anywhere, texas…
not everyone who lives in texas is a weirdo, some normal people are their because their job made them move
and some natives are normal too *waving at froo*, it’s just that you hear about the inbred, missing-brain rednecks more than the others…after all, who’d want to admit to being a texan while the shrub is still there?
I have lived in enough places to know that no matter how refined you want to claim your state is I can find some ignorant people within walking distance of you. When I tell people that I’m an Army brat they always want to ask, “What is your favorite place that you lived in?” and the fact of the matter is that there are very few differences when you are living your day to day life. At the end of the day I mainly just don’t like states that are warm enough year round that large forms of insects and other creepy crawlies aren’t routinely killed off. My grandmother’s house in Florida should be declared a wildlife refuge for all the lizards clinging to various surfaces and my other grandmother in New Mexico has to check her shoes for scorpions and tarantulas. No thank you, I’ll stay in the North.
My state isn’t refined. My state is full of rednecks. Even the big cities, St. Louis & KC are full of big city rednecks (and let’s be serious, St. Louis & KC aren’t big cities). But the further away you get from those two places, the scarier it gets. Don’t get me started on those yahoos in the bootheel.
I’ll concede all your points, but I think you miss out on the biggest bonus of living there: THE BEST BBQ IN THE NATION!
that’s why you get vacation time – so you can get some nectar of the gods but not have to live with the icky parts….
old joke from readers digest – a texan and a washingtonian were comparing states. the texan says that texas is so great that god takes his vacations there, the washingtonion countered that god does his best work here
won’ tell you how long i’ve been hording that joke to tell at just the right time, but i bet your parents weren’t even the glimmer in their parents eyes, lol
i’m with yoiu 100+50% – best thing about leaving texas? moving north and leaving the tarantulas, scorpions, roaches big enough to be mistaken for humming birds, and so many varieties of poisonous snakes…and the ground crawdads… never heard of such a thing until it rained for so long they drowned and floated up out of their holes.
as far as finding ignorant people anywhere – that is so blankety-blank true. only difference is, the south has the reputation for ignorant idiots so people are looking for the sterotype. it doesn’t help tho that the leader of the free world mangled the english language so badly and made so many social gaffs – that just reconfirmed the world’s opinion of all americans as being boors and uncouth ignoramouses (sp?).
Looking for a clue.
i like this one better
well at least this one looks.
yeah, always the least with him. sometimes more is what’s needed.
Like more incompetence?
that, he has. that much is obvious.
already had one of those… how about more articulate? nope, got that…. how about more smarts? nope, got that…. how about more couth-ness? nope, got that…. how about more thinking? nope, got that too…how about more people coming out of the woodwork snarking at him because he isn’t a bush clone? yup, got that too….(the snarking that is)
You Obamaphobes are hilarious, you really have no clue how you appear. You are not the brave resistance fighting tyranny. You are not mainstream. Your ideas do not resonate with the citizens of America. Your bitter, angry whining isn’t threatening, it’s amusing. The more we laugh at you, the loonier you get, and the more we laugh.
America has rejected your failed policies and angry, divisive character. You are irrelevant dinosaurs. Or maybe, ‘rats backed into a corner,’ is a better description. Crazy, violent, hate filled, and desperate, you can’t accept that the country has abandoned you and your ideas, and you would rather destroy everything than admit you’ve lost so badly that your party will never recover.
Your motto these days seems to be, “If we’re going down, we’re taking the country with us!”
Wow. You read a lot into “looking for a clue.”
I think it is an amalgam response to overall Obamaphobia. If you were to take the spectrum as a whole, Seth’s response is appropriate. Maybe not to this particular comment, but in a big picture kinda way.
and well stated to boot.
Me thinks thou doth project too much.
project = not a typo
Yeeeaah….you really did. I’m afraid I have to call LBRRGRRAHW on that post, Seth.
It’s what I do for fun, you know.
I know.
Party on, my liberal friend, and I will occasionally call you out on an egregious overreaction.
When you aren’t calling Reagan instead of God during sex right? Least that is what Dhoti lead me to believe.
@_@
I’m an agnostic, I call out “Oh, Whatever!” during sex.
Hence, Seth’s recent lackage of boobage.
When Lynn says Oh God, I just purr that Master will suffice. It is nice to have that little ego boost from time to time.
I will remember the Oh Whatever though. It will be funnier to use than Pokemon noises for when I want to mess with her head.
There are no agnostics during org@sm.
That’s been my experience.
Yep. I’m a failure if I didn’t make ‘em see G-D.
Well, I like a guy to try to go for the whole trinity….
Personally I don’t like that many folks critiquing…
I give them the Hindu treatment, more Gods than they can count.
Touche’ Seth… Tou-fu(king-che’…
Hey man, if I wanted that many manifestations of the deities checking out my a@@, I’d have been an altar boy.
Dude, my standards are pretty low. I’m happy if I make her see Ceiling Cat.
Saw a comedian on Comedy Central the other night Marc Maron…did a funny bit on having sex now that he’s older. He said his wife used to look up at him and call out all these passionate things…now she looks up and says “Honey, don’t kill yourself.” “Jeezis, do I look that bad?! Way to pump me full of confidence, dear!”
Mary Roach on “ten things you didn’ t know about org@asm”, with a very amusing video on pig insemination in it. (link)
When did orgasm become a word that needed to be censored?
Because children and baby Jesus cry when pleasure is discussed.
Wargasm, wargasm one, two, three
Tie a yellow ribbon around the amputee
Masturbate watch it on TV
Crocodile tears for the refugee
Wargasm, wargasm one, two, three
Smutty, bloody pictures, ecstasy
Blue balls waiting impatiently
From Alcatraz to Lady Liberty
Body bags and dropping bombs
The pentagon knows how to turn us on
Wargasm, wargasm one, two, three
People, people, ecstasy
Wave those flags high in the air
As long as it takes place over there
Wargasm
Wargasm
Wargasm
Wargasm
Body bags and dropping bombs
The pentagon knows how to turn us on
Turn us on
Wargasm
Turn us on
Wargasm
Somebody needs to tell people who say that that baby Jesus grew up to be an adult and stuff.
Ok…now I have another reason not to eat Danish hotdogs…
I found them pretty tasty–maybe because the pig was happy when she died?!
Wow! Just, wow!
And my oh my, Mary Roach is a HAWTTIE!!!!
BIG BANG!
Oh, Darwin!
Now that is an idea…
Oh, I lol’d.
’splains so much – try ‘yes, yes, yes’ or ‘oh baby’. you might get repeat visitors that way
Bill Hicks used to ask “What do atheists call out during sex? ‘Oh random chance and impersonal forces!’”
She blinded me with Science?
my thoughts exactly. silly conservatives
Or he just can’t see the teleprompter.
Now that is just funny!
where´s our national integrity?
Cheney shot it in the face and then Bush crapped all over it.
While Rove kept up a steady stream of piddle throughout.
Then John Yoo wrote a legal brief saying it was all ok…
then michael bay made robots out of it and had them tear themselves to bits
(sorry couldn’t think of anything prudent)
Hey! The reply buttons are back!
Meh, there’s probably just a glare on the teleprompter.
That commie prick couldn’t say “Death to America” without a teleprompter
As opposed to our former President who couldn’t spell “troll” if you spotted him the t,r and both l’s…now get back to making Egg McMuffins…the drive through is getting backed up.
And, equally, was resolutely incapable of pronouncing the word “nuclear”, even in American! But let’s not start a “You say po-tah-to, I say po-tay-to” (note phonetics, not spelling which is “potato” either side) flame war.
i still fail to see how he’s a commie, nor why the telepromter thing is such a big deal
Maybe he’s looking for someone who speaks “Austrian”.
I’ll start worrying people’s pronunciation of nuclear when the eurotrash start getting aluminum right.
They were using the word long before us…
did you come up with that yourself, or just following the bash-bush train? i mean, sure it’s funny at first. but if it’s not true then it stops being funny
I drive that train…
Actually, I didn’t start bashing Bush until he started the war in Iraq…so I’ll start bashing Obama when I feel he deserves it…And yes, I know all the “arguments” most have come up with so far, and some I actually agree with; but, as I’ve said before, I’m kinda in the “Give him some time”-mode right now…
“Give him some time,” it’s just the “speculators” and car dealers whose property he wants to appropriate.
Hmmm, where have I heard that before?
Was it? “Give him some time, it’s just Poland, it’s just the Jews.”
I think that’s a bit much. At best he’s a low-level socialist who wants to take over and control America like some kind of weird little dictator. I doubt he’s going to invade Canada next, even though I’m sure he blames it for everything.
Better hope Canada doesn’t take any U.S. aid, or 0 will fire their Prime Minister and give the country to the CAW.
Oh how I wish Obama was actually a socialist, and would give something to the workers unions instead of to the rich.
Ah, Godwin’s Law. Well, your intelligent and seasoned debate tactics have certainly settled the matter. So nice to see you well versed in internet fallacies.
You know what else Hitler did? BREATHE OXYGEN!!! And you all breathe oxygen you f-ing Nazis!!1121!!!
Nice.
Don’t get me started on Hitler using the bathroom. He did that too.
Mike Godwin, you win again.
So Jews = Time?
I wonder how that factors into the Women = evil equation.
I just love how, in 2001, it was “Oh you guys just have Bush Derangement Syndrome”; now, of course, he was so awful that even those who voted for him twice say “I’m really more of a ‘conservative’ than a ‘republican’ and you guys *still* won’t admit we were right.
Bush Derangement Syndrome, Obama Derangement Syndrome, it’s all a case of butthurt for the losers
I only hope, if you guys are as right about Obama as I was about Bush, that I’ll have the decency and honesty to admit I was wrong.
I won’t. I’ll do what all good Democrats & Republicans do when thing go awry. I’ll blame the other party for holding back what we were REALLY trying to do.
*enfolds Exile into the loving haven of The People’s Breasts* There there Comrade, you’ll find a place in the People’s United States.
Communism sure feels nice.
Seriously, these are never funny. Stop making these crappy obama captions and go start maturbating to him already. jez.
The caps aren’t funny, but watching the Dubya-lovers go ape-sh!t over the idea of someone with a brain and an understanding that there are other nations in the World in the White House sure is!
i know. it’s like a token “we can pick on obama, too.” but there’s nothing of value, like his tripling the deficit in his first 100 days, flip-flopping on many issues, ad nauseam.
thing is, people think that because he’s not bush that he’s good. like bush or no, he’s very green. and not in the good way. and if this wasn’t the presidency, then he would have been reprimanded by now during his on-the-job training.
Yes, some of his policies may be wrong, but the guy is trying to clean up Dubya’s mess!
It’s getting annoying; every lol with a pic of Obama generates a couple posts saying “you obamamaniacs won’t quit providing sexual services you’re all so stoopid warbrrglgarrbl!”
I’d like to ask for input on the following proposition:
1) Such posts really only mean “I don’t like Obama”
2) They are essentially the same, every time, lacking even in originality or cleverness
3) They are, in fact, just a variation on the classic Ordinal Post
Therefor, I’d like to suggest we deal with them, in the future, in a manner similar to Ordinal Posts. I leave as an exercise for the community the determination of how exactly we should respond.
Note: I’m not suggesting we respond to all anti-Obama comments in this way, just the “Oh why can’t you dam libruls quit loving Obama the commie” posts. Comments critical of his policies will still be treated in a manner appropriate to their intelligence and civility.
I think the WARGARRBLL response is appropriate. Cuz that’s about what I hear from them….
I like this idea, actually. Unfortunately I have no ideas how to respond.. Maybe post quantum mechanics theories? You know, how they relate to the many worlds and super-string concepts… just an idea.
would we need an advanced degree for this? I only have a Master..
nah, most theories seem to come from sci-fi novels anyway
Any “Obama is a commie” has been getting them love from The People’s Breasts but I only have the one pair, it’s hard to attend to ALL of the posts.
Jane, I’d help if I could but I really can’t. How might I be of assistance apart from smothering?
I suppose you could hold them down while we bore them with lectures about the proletariat… and THEN I could smother them with The People’s Breasts.
Hmmm…. I think I could do that. I’m not sure about lectures; the only ones I do these days are to teenagers about getting up, going to bed, doing their schoolwork, doing their best, not having sex, etc…..
That last one should bring DWN into the conversation.
Hmmmm, well I think we can maybe modify your usual lectures. You can say that good and happy works do their homework for the sake of the Motherland or that sex should be approved by the government before they act. Things like that.
Oh, I see. I’ll practice that and be on the lookout. Thanks!!
Jane…I’m willing to help… I gladly volunteer my bosom if it helps spread the socialist message!!!
God, more bosoms on this thread than I’ve seen in… um… well, you don’t need to know that
When you’re enfolding in the PB’s, it’s too dark to see much of anything.
Mmm, boobies…
If it’s what the People ask of you, who are you to refuse them. To each according to their whining, from each according to their breast size. Or something like that…
Yeah, I think we need more boobies. LOTS more boobies. Enough to smother all of the WARGARBLL!!!
What was supposed to bring me in about that? O_o
INDUSTRY
Looking for the next one to take over.
But… Giant Wally is right behind the President!
*writes gullible on my own forehead*
I actually went back and looked. Damn you.
I see it.
*smirks* I bet you do.
No, really, he’s talking about the background, which I guess is part of a huge flag, but all you can see is red and white horizontal stripes. Red and white horizontal stripes of the type found on Waldo’s shirt.
*looks around for Captain Obvious*
I also posted the last day I will be here on my profile.
I think he’s looking for the teleprompter…
An old joke. A waste of text.
What clued you in? Was it the obviously visible teleprompter, directly in line with his gaze?
hehe, never gets old
Actually, it was never funny. he uses a teleprompter. Just like all of them. Big f-ing deal. I’d need a teleprompter too. Hell, I need one just to order pizza.
For the longest time when I worked at the bookstore I had to read our closing announcement off a piece of paper so I didn’t mess it up. There’s something about being on an intercom that makes your brain shut down and you can’t remember what you’re supposed to be saying.
Yeah, now imagine reading the closing announcement to 300 million people. I’m gonna need a teleprompter…and likely a new pair of pants please. O_O
He’s trying to read it close, making sure that teh ebil teleprompter doesn’t give him the wrong name again, or have him start someone else’s speech, or stay behind when he accidentally skips a page and has to actually *tell* the crew to roll it forward instead of being a good “off the cuff” speaker and playing it of…….
at least he can READ his prompter…..unlike former president ‘missunderestimate me’ bush
I always enjoyed hearing Bush speak, but that’s probably a product of where I’m from. I enjoy his accent, and his ability to sound down to earth (not in a bad way). I also enjoyed the non-prompter speeches, because they seemed to indicate that he meant what he said and didn’t have to be reminded of his own views. In my own humble view, the prompter is a crutch for the current prez, only because of the frequency of use. I’m glad that recently he’s started weaning himself off it.
I also enjoyed hearing Bush speak, but likely for different reasons. *snicker*
(That being said, watching some of the highlights of some of Bush’s actual jokes, the man has a much better sense of humor than Obama. Honestly.)
No freaking kidding. I said it the day after the Press Dinner, and I’ll say it again: Obama is a gifted speaker, teleprompter or not. But he SERIOUSLY needs to find some speech writers who can match his cadence to the jokes. Because…..I mean……damn. His delivery pretty much sucked on most of them. Bush, whatever his other faults are, is a good ol’ boy, and really is a personable guy. Not that Obama isn’t, but like you said, Bush has a better sense of humor.
i don’t know, i always had the feeling that he exaggerated his accent to sound more like ‘bubba next door’ since his thing was he was a guy you’d want to have a beer with. not saying it was bad or anything, just feels ‘off’ to me.
his non-prompter speeches – i don’t know, how many times did he give them in behind a podium? he could have had at least a point list laid out before hand. personally i’m in favor of what ever it takes to keep on topic and not sound like a babbling idiot. the only time i’ve ever felt it odd that a president would use a crutch was reagan and his cue cards he’d carry (and drop) as an actor you’d think he’d be used to memorizing his lines? but then again, his roles weren’t that memorable… i think as obama gets more comfortable in his role he’ll rely on it less and less, but in the mean time it’s not like he’s cheating on an exam or anything by using a crutch, the only difference is the level of technology over a sheet of paper or 3×5 cards. and i don’t ever remember anyone ranting about former presidents using them, even when they were dropped.

i don’t know if i agree with this fellow’s opinion or not, but he does draw some interesting correspondences. just a bite of food for thought
Wow. A somewhat funny Obama LOL. I was beginning to think this was BoringpictureofObamawithadumbcaption Kitchen.
Warblgarbl!
“Warblgarbl!” = The mating call of the liberalsaurus ignoramus, a species frequently found in basements, spending 24/7 on humor websites cutting and pasting pseudo-intellectual political nonsense from Kos-land.
No, that’s “LBRRGRRAHW”. “Warblgarbl” is the call of the ConservoPus, an indigenous species capable of completely idiotic statements and Bible-thumping, along with the occasional good point that will never be agreed to by any actual Conservatives present for fear that the association with the ConservoPus will be viewed as detrimental to their own standing in the Conservative world.
So you’re trying to tell me PM is a ConservoPus? I thought that was a copy of Earth in the Balance he was carrying, not a bible.
My bad.
Edmund is the ConservoPus. PM is calling him out. Please don’t be deliberately obtuse.
Obtuse? I thought I was being oblique.
Has a clue, and a life, but a slippery grasp of English:
Pronunciation: O-’blEk, &-, -’blIk; military usually I
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English oblike, from Latin obliquus
1 a : neither perpendicular nor parallel : INCLINED b : having the axis not perpendicular to the base c : having no right angle
2 a : not straightforward : INDIRECT; also : OBSCURE b : DEVIOUS, UNDERHANDED
3 : situated obliquely and having one end not inserted on bone
Choosing ‘has a clue & a life’ as a handle, and then actually posting under that handle, is gauche in the extreme. No one who has a clue, or a life, let alone both, would ever choose that as a nom du guerre. If you don’t want educated, cultured people to laugh at you, choose a different moniker.
This helpful tip vis a vis Internet culture is brought to you by The Society for the Prevention of Idiocy. Give your local Idiot a hand up, not a hand out.
Perhaps “Doesn’t Take Self So Seriously On Humor Sites” would be a better handle?
Please let me know when those educated, cultured people get here.

The APP gave me a press release: Trolling on humor boards is considered extremely pretentious and they are pulling their sponsorship effective immediately. Damn. Now how are you going to buy that clue and that life?
We here at the APP don’t issue press releases. That would be too pretentious.

*gasp* There is nothing pretentious about press releases!! They are informative and help companies put out a positive image. Jerk.

Yeah! He’s never around when we really need him.
That’s not the best defense is it.
Anyway, the point is

Hmm, maybe I didn’t need that last slug.
PM, I don’t really think that post qualifies for that, as it’s more a critique of the recent lols….which, honestly, many of the recent Obama lols haven’t been all that funny.
Agreed. Not many of the LOLs period have been funny lately, but the Obama-worship was getting old fast.
Okay, I retract said warblgarbl and bow to the judgment of the community.
My Obama shrine told me that yeah, the LOLs are pretty lame. And my Obama bobbleheads agreed, rather enthusiastically I might add.
But, Eric, have you asked the garden of Chia Obamas?
They still think it’s funny, but they’re Chias. They have a lousy sense of humor.
THANK you, dissim! I’m glad I am not alone on this.
a picture this benign about bush never appeared on any website, even at the beginning of his term. this is just pandering bull shit
Look! He’s behind u!! And he isn’t little anymore! run! RUN!!!
