“They call it the oval office ’cause it’s ovular.”
(George Bush, Barack Obama)

HA! What will we do when he is gone??? I suppose the vocabulary in the US will improve though… I do have to give him credit for his vocabular-ingenuity… Anyone see the online Rachael Maddow clip on this yesterday?! Hilarious… I think that the one about putting food on your family is the best!
The lexicon of the US will get smaller. GW Bush invented one in seven of the words he used while in office.
The vocab in the US will get better?
You either have great faith in Obama to improve education, or you’ve never been to the south.
LOL! That reminds me of my adventures in Cajun country.
I hated my adventures into cajun country. That one, lousiana swamps accent thing >.> it terrifies my soul.
~
And actually much of the south has a slurge of dialects running together, so on the whole they use more words and there’s all sorts of semantics about what words is used at what time.
~
I’ll never get rid of calling all kinds of sode “coke”
LOL! You just reminded me of that one: “Hey shay (cher), what kinna coke you want? Come on (comment-French), I axed you a question.”
.
They could do a whole website on Cajun-speak. It would look a lot like LOL-speak, except that it would be harder to decipher!
I had a very nice co-worker who talked like that, and I didn’t want to be rude to him, but there were times when I absolutely could not understand what he was saying. His accent sounded to me like a mixture of French-Spanish-black-deep South-something else I don’t know what. Once he said something like, (I’ll attempt a phonetic spelling), “Ooh, don’ do dat, dat hoits, der!”, and I was like, “What, now you’re from Brooklyn, too?”
Now, I’m scared! That made perfect sense to me. You are quite astute, as the “Yat” accent is hard to distinguish from the Brooklyn accent, unless you happen to be from New York or south Louisiana. One of my co-workers was a French citizen who spoke English well. We thought he could help us understand the locals there, but he was totally lost! Still, as a group, Cajuns are the sweetest people I’ve encountered. As long as you don’t know what it is, their food is delicious, too.
I think the cjun accent is kinda hot. Like that Rene guy on Tru Blood. Hot Holy Damn – the south was never so sexy.
why do i randomly leave letters out of my words? *Cajun* and *True*
Try Belizaire the Cajun: Wonderful movie! (click name for link)
There used to be a guy on TV that did Cajun cooking, I believe his name was Justin Wilson. Man that guy was hiliarious.. always emphasized by saying “I guaranteeeee” Oh, and his gumbo was awesome. Made a few of his recipes and WOW!
I agree. Coke is just that “Coke”. Soda is something else altogether. I usually classify it as a generic carbonated beverage of no particular name. I cringe at the thought of asking for Coca-a-Cola and getting of all things Pepsi, blech!
No, we just expect to be able to listen to a full statement and not have to check the doublespeak book or the Bush-ism lexicon to figure out what was just said. With Obama in the office, you will be able to look a the sentence from beginning to end and know EXACTLY what was said and it’s intent. I have wet dreams, occasionally, about this concept.
So much laundry to do this next presidential cycle.
Well, at least it ain’t nucular, eh Georgie?
Thank you, Slashydutchy. That comment just made me LOL (unlike other comments…)
Now this is funny! I could almost hear him saying that.
Give me enough beer, and it’s possible that my grasp of the english language would degrade enough to say this too!
Oh, I will be saying it all day now any chance I get, even without the beer!
I know, I think I’m really going to miss Bushisms!
Then you will love the poem down below! I am saving it…
What will Obama do about the poor OB-GYN’s? As Bush said, “it is getting harder for them to practice their love on women,”
I am from Texas. He wasn’t born in Texas but he, like we all do, made himself a native Texan just by staying there–that’s what happens when you move to Texas
. But rest assured, we aren’t all like that!!!
I actually thought that before coming to the US to visit my aunt in Texas… then I met my ‘new’ American uncle… cowboy hat, long coat, one of them typical shirts under it, huge belt buckle, enough for that belt to hold back, boots… started singing along to country & western on the way from the airport, accent and vocabulary that beats GW’s… it was a major “WTF?!” moment.
First I spent all my life not believing the stereotype, the next second I was related to it.
Pretty nice guy, though.
Yeah, while stereotypes are generally bad things, they were made for a reason.
Well, they ARE based in truth…
I worked in Texas for a while and I found all the negative stereotypes about Texas to not be true. Yeah, they like their belt buckles, country music, and whatnot, and they have accents, but that’s their culture it’s not a bad thing… they’re generally very nice people down there. In all, I really enjoyed my time in Texas and I would go back.
I drove down to Houston once and the trend I noticed was that everyone drove really fast and tailgated like no tomorrow. No wonder every other billboard sign was for brake replacement…
Sounds like LA, Phoenix or just about anywhere you can drive on a road.
You haven’t been to MN, SD, or WY then. People generally drive fast on the freeways there but don’t tailgate. Shockingly, most people also use the left lane for passing only! That’s why we always make great time getting from MSP to Yellowstone.
OMG… paradise.
I get tailgated in my neighborhood sometimes!! And I don’t drive all that slow but people are just always in a hurry for some reason…
If I’m getting tailgated, and they can’t pass, I slow down to like 15 or 20 and just watch them stew about it in the rearview. But then, I’m kind of a b*tch.
lol! I’ve done the same, but it can be dangerous with some of these yoyos so I try and control myself.
I knew someone who rigged his car to put on the reverse lights without actually being in reverse. So he’d drive down the freeway and if someone would tail him he’d hit the switch. Generally scare the crap out of the driver, heh.
That is awesome I want to learn how to do that.
On Texas 4+ lane highways, left-lane-for-passing-only is the law. It really helps the flow of traffic. I used to drive from Houston to Dallas regularly, with occasional trips to San Antonio, Austin and Midland/Odessa. It made a huge difference in drive time, but moreso in the cost of frustration.
man I went back to San Antonio after being in Montana for a few years and it was crazy. I miss it though. Montana is just so…odd sometimes.
I really liked the people in Havre, but the weather! Black Ice??? SRSLY??? *trembles at memory*
You have a problem with the new AC/DC album?
No offense, but you will never catch me driving on it.
*click*
Well, sure it’s easy not to tailgate in a state with so many motorists!
LOL
I lived in Houston for 14 years, and didn’t notice my driving style had changed until I drove in other cities.
In Aurora, IL there are actually signs reminding motorists not to tailgate. The first one I saw, I was like, “Well, okay, since you put it that way,” and I’ve not done it since!
Yeah…
In Arkansas they sit in your blind spot.. pissed the hell right out of me! (I think i sprained my middle finger!)
Houston sucks. The only good thing in houston in The Meridian and Toyota Center. I HATE driving in Houston, but I love the atmosphere of the more rural( I shouldn’t say rural, probably just less like a major city) Very friendly
Wow–Some cowboy musta done you wrong!
The lolz on the vote page are moving steadily towards the center, I sure hope my awesome bipartisan one makes it on the front page soon (though it’s a rather obscure reference to a VERY cult classic movie).
Your link is borked.
It always seems to bork itself.
boo
it says it’s been deleted.
should be fixed, i’d be happy if even one person gets the reference though
you see THIS?! THIS is my BOOMSTICK! Army of Darkness ftw
Guns are fun.
How does one NOT get the reference? Either you live in a van down by the river (and have lived there since 1984) or you live in a crawlspace, the entrance of which is obstructed by your stepfather’s gun rack.
You would be surprised. COOL people have seen it but it really is a cult classic.
Keeping in the spirit of great SNL comedy…
A gun rack… a gun rack. I don’t even own *a* gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do… with a gun rack?
OMG that’s perfect! I voted it 5, thanks!
Your link is Bjorked.
I find your Behavior to be Hoomin.
But is he violently happy?
LOL–Okay, now I’ve Seen it All!
Aw, what will we do without someone in office who gives us such gems? You know, he’s a little bit like Shakespeare with his rampant invention of words, probably better really since most of Shakespeare’s never really caught on. I would love it if he’s actually said this, it’s like a cross between Bush and Madden!
At least a lot of his did catch on. Assassin FTW!
I think his greatest success was probably “because”. What did people say before it?
my favorite is “boing”.
If Bush’s greatest success is “because”, then what people said before it was, “Why the HELL did you do THAT?”
Badden?
That could make a whole new line of games. “Badden ’08: Fightin Congress”
The name “Badden” is similar to “Biden.” Coincidence??? Am I the only one who thinks Joe Biden looks like Bob Uecker (sp)?
LOL!! I said that watching the debate with friends!! There are certain facial expressions he has which remind me totally of the Yuke!!!
Yeah, if Obama/Biden lost, I thought Biden could do ads for beer and Amercian Express. (“Remember me? I’m the gaffer who ran for vice president. Lots of people don’t recognize me, because I wasn’t allowed to say anything. That’s why I always carry the Amercian Express card.”)
“Senator, that’s not your podium.”
“Oh! I must be in the front row!”
Less of Shakespeare & more of Humpty Dumpty I’d say. Impenetribility!
Does that mean there’s a Testicular Office, too?
Yes, that’s where they go when they’re done ovulatin’
you gets a standing ovulation for this!
lol!
nestly, the regulars at Powe me a case of Windex for all he spit-takes…
Holy cow.. is it me or my keyboard?!? The above should read:
‘Honestly, the regulars at PK owe me case of Windex for all the spit-takes.’
And as I type I can tell i’s the keyboard, drat it!! *searces for spare*
I’ve already learned to read threads out of the corner of my eye, so’s I miss the keyboard. But, pdq, your protests fall on deaf ears, as you are one of the chief spew instigators!
God no, those honors go to Fester, you & others. I just peek in once in a while and spinoff what’s already there. I’m hack plagairist.
I claim my innocence before falling into utter obscurity.
zOMG!! SRSLY??? Do you recall who invented the head-asploding “f” language??? Huuuhmm???
kudos, hilarious. the world will be a less funny place with Bush gone.
At least the sex jokes don’t end. Now we’ve got the big O!
And his ears, don’t forget the funny funny ears… *yawn*
And his ears, don’t forget the funny funny ears… *yawn*
And his ears, don’t forget the funny funny ears… *yawn*
Next?
Just as long as you don’t forget the funny funny ears… *yawn*
Did someone try to forget about the funny funny ears? *yawn*
Wouldn’t you try to forget about the funny funny ears? *yawn*
Who has funny ears?
*yawn*
*snore*
Next? Well, there is no next, it’s just the ears, that’s all your allowed to make fun of… get it?
*yawn*
I was referring to the next person saying it, as in next in line, you’re up.
Get it?
No, I don’t. Why would there be a next person saying it? Because PK posted it twice? Sorry… It would make more sense if you were asking for the next thing we could make fun of Obama about, but there is only one thing, so….
Now ema, there are two things: TWO ears, get it? Maybe one of them looks funnier than the other. *plans to search photo archives*
Ok, that’s fair…
I’ll say it: except for those funny ears. I’d use them for handles, rowr!
That’s really funny, until Michelle uses you for a handle!
No, wait. That’s funny, too!
Ooh, careful. Have you SEEN the way Michelle looks at Oprah?
An “ovular” presidential office will happen, someday. I’m pretty hopeful I’ll see it before I’m completely decrepit.
We’re following the Star Trek order of command: white men (Kirk, Picard), then black men (Sisko), then finally white women (Janeway), LOL.
Gene Roddenberry would be so proud!!
Yes. Yes, he would. His future is coming true….parts of it, at least.
Hate to kill the mood, but you’re forgetting the most powerful being of all: Oprah!
click
Don’t forget THIS powerful woman!
Keeping with the Star Trek theme…
OMG–That’s double-funny to me because of something I heard Whoopie say once. She was talking about her childhood, watching Star Trek. Back then, there weren’t many black people on tv shows. Whoopie liked to watch Star Trek “because Ohura was the only proof there would be black people in the future.”
Is THAT what it’s called now? I always thought of it as “suffrage sequence”.
Don’t forget Klingon men (Worf (DS9)), and Changelings (Odo)!
Don’t write that down! Ovular isn’t even a word!
Oops!! Too late, I wrote it down…
Ovular is a real word, very much like circular and rectangular.
Quote recognition fail
Also, “ovular” is a word, but it means “relating to an ovule or ovum,” not “oval-shaped.”
I copied the following poem, composed entirely of Bush’s words:
.
Make the Pie Higher
words by George W. Bush
I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It’s a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish
can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope,
where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
Did he really say the pitbull comment? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Yes, Snopes has independently verified all of these words as actual quotes!
Nice.
No linguistic genius is ever appreciated in his own time. *sigh*
Weird. That one is genius, in its own way.
I’ve always wondered what he meant about vulcanizing society. Does he have some strange Spock fetish?
Yeah, that phrase bothers me too. Usually one can glean what word he intended from context, but “vulcanizing?”
I just found the answer (click name): “Vulcanize” is supposed to mean “Balkanize.” Silly me–I often *confuscate* those words!
So, what does he mean? Does he want to Balkanize society or is he warning against the Balkinization or is he showing us he has heard of it? What?
(click name)
Thank you!! Best laugh all day!
Goody!! Making you LOL makes my day!
*sneaks in & tweaks rhorho* GOOD morning!
*hugs pdq* Good morning to you, too! Nice to see your head hasn’t asploded today…yet.
Almost, almost… reaching critical mass; a *headdesk* episode might clinch it.
Shall I walk on the beach with my trousers rolled?
Do I dare to eat a pretzel?
Hilarious, my friend!
(“Amigo! Amigo!” –George W. Bush, calling out to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in Spanish at the G-8 Summit, Rusutsu, Japan, July 10, 2008)
foo- this should went go up thar under rhorho . . .
ok, lets us talk like dubya for the rest remainder of the post!
(Bush:) Bah “post,” I’m shuer ya mint to say “pisst,” ‘cuz jokes ’bout me makes me pisst. Another thang that makes me pisst is when the media doesn’t “git” me. That’s their word, and it’s a funny word, heh, “git.”
*SNORK!!* Bush: Hey, what’s the matter with’at? Heh, Italian is the same as Spanish, except it’s frum It-lee, heh.
Whenever that commercial for that new drug “Abilify” comes on. I think of Bush (or has someone else thought of that). It seems like something Bush would say related to the Iraqi security forces.
HAHHAAHAHA
One that makes George bush look dumb OF COURSE is funny!!
Ovular is such an inventive word.
Ovular is a real word, much like circular or rectangular.
It is, but it doesn’t refer to a oval. Relates to an ovule……hmmm I’m still wrong though cause it is a word.
Now, wait. You started off saying it’s a word, then you say you’re wrong because it’s a word. *headdesk*
Hey, at least he didn’t say “Ovulating.”
It only got ovular when Bill Clinton got there.
when they discovered weapons of mass testicles . . .
Can you imagine if Hillary won and Bill got to be in The White House with NO RESPONSIBILITIES!!! He’dve had interns lined up from the Front Lawn all the way to the Lincoln memorial!!!
Hill would be running into them all over the White House and she’d get all pissed and be like, “Bill, I actually need them to work!!!”
LMAO!! Your comment led me to visualize Bill in some “Silence of the Lambs” restraints, for his head and crotch.
Okay, despite being tired of horny Bill jokes, I laughed at this one. Thanks Rhorho.
I think we will all miss his stupidity~ Even if your a bible beating neocon you have to admit this wasn’t one of our brightest.
Um, doesn’t anyone here know that ovular is a word, much like circular or rectangular?
I don’t think that is the point really do you? I think the point is, if it’s called the Oval office it’s probably ovular in shape, no?
Exactly. The joke is that Bush is stating the obvious, but many comments on here suggest that they are unaware that ovular is not a real word.
No, the joke is that “ovular” doesn’t have anything to do with ovals, but rather, ovules.
The general therapy. Snoring
The patient treatment to snore according to different reasons for different treatments, the selection of treatment is to determine treatment effect is the most important factor. We four points to present the main method for snoring. First, the general treatment. Weight: obesity is one of the factors caused pharyngeal stenosis. Reduces weight loss of airway obstruction. Smoking cigarettes can stimulate the wine, cause inflammation of the pharyngeal pharyngeal swelling narrow, wine can make muscle relaxation, solitary, thus aggravate obstruction after falling. In addition, the side before sleeping refuses to calm sleep all have to snore.
… the grammar… it scares me.
I’m Churj, and I would approve this timely message… except for the grammar being very poor and the post having no content.
i think bush was much beter than obama he didnt do something since the day that he became the prisdent
