I’ve heard he is such a good pilot he can complete the vatican run in only 10 parsecs.
Parsec is a unit of distance.
That cheater is cutting corners and using the back roads!
-T
Star Wars quote recognition fail!
The force is not strong in this one.
Just because I’m able to identify oversights in the original Star Wars trilogy does not make me “weak in the Force.”
Learn to Star Wars, kid.
-T
I’ve heard it said that it was *supposed* to be a unit of distance. The kessel run was supposedly a run through a turbulent section of space, and the shorter distance was a mark of a hot pilot cutting corners around deep gravity wells. Of course, this may have been “after the fact” justifications.
a parsec is essentially a lightyear.
flame on.
it’s 3.26 light years. Short for Paralax of one arcsecond.
What do they teach the youth of today?
Abstinence only.
Apparently…
Maybe in 3ntropy’s case that isn’t such a bad idea. Seriously, lets weed out the gene pool.
That doesn’t work half the time either
Even Star Wars has apologists…
Hey Unc, OT, but thank you for the Stalin quote on the Anne Coulter thread. I tried to reply there, but my PC freezes on it. Anyway, your input was perfect–Thank You!
you fail at getting laid
I recognized it _and_ was able to meta-critique it.
Try again, sir.
Yes, but eveybody in who either has been to college, taken physics in high school or knows a little bit about the Trilogy knows about the misuse of parsec.
Seriously, you’re just trying to make yourself look smarter by placing a critique where none is needed.
Calm down, it was a comment made in passing. You’ve really got that pole pretty far up there. =/
Someone needs to calm down.
Slan suggested that I did not know what the quote was about or from. I demonstrated that I knew what the quote was about (and from), and defended my initial point in demonstrating a more comprehensive familiarity with the topic at hand.
It was made in humor to poke fun at the oversight at the initial trilogy. It wans’t meant to make me look smart.
-T
*wasn’t
Yes, but since they’re going faster than the speed of light, couldn’t it be a comparison to how long it took compared to how long it could have taken?
He is not the T you’re looking for. You can go about your business. Move along.
And stop trying to sell me death sticks.
I don’t want to sell you death sticks. …I want to go home and rethink my life.
AAH! Comment nesting FAIL.
Or win…whatever the site wants at the moment…
It did that to me the other day. I had the same two corrections.
That was the only good bit in Episode II.
Bad, bad film…
Wouldn’t it be ironic if mr. deathsticks later rethought his life, decided to join the military and would later be promoted to the position of captain after the clone wars.
One day, he finds himself positioned on a desert planet, with instructions to find a shiny droid, and one short one.
-T
And from this interchange we have learned – NEVER question a mans Star Wars cred. on the internet – just back away… *backs away*
LMAO!! Leave it to ema to sum up two dozen posts with a universal (pun intended) truism.
I don’t understand how these pictures get chosen.
find it. lol it. submit it.
And others vote on it.
…then it goes to the stirring-pot section, called “Upcoming.”
Next?
I fail to see any rhyme or reason in the voting section and upcoming never seems to be a good indicator of what will make the front page.
The voting system is crap. Not only do I see the same lols over and over again, sometimes I see the same lol a few times in a row. You’d think with the tremendous click traffic this network sees, they could pay a coder or two to come up with a non-broken system.
Exactly, my question wasn’t “explain how the system is supposed to work,” I wan’t to know what exactly goes on behind the scenes because the voting system doesn’t seem to determine jack dookie.
I have given up on the voting anymore.
I never said the voting meant anything. It doesn’t seem like it does.
I never said you said the voting meant anything.
Then we agree?
Also, to clarify, my comment was more for a few of the folks above you rather than you. Sorry ema!
Yes we do! Np, I was just making a funny!
i don’t even submit stuff anymore. i lost hope.
I posted something similar to this… almost verbatim in fact
LOL–Envisioning you voting on PK LOLs, then being switched over to ICHC ones: “I don’t know…Do I like this kitten in a pumpkin outfit, or the one in the witch costume better? …hmm…”
Also, many lolz don’t even make it to the voting site. I even had a clever Motley Crue joke that was not picked up.
Seems to work that way for the whole Cheezburger network.. I’ve submitted to most of the sites.. some pretty funny stuff too.. and it never even makes it to the voting page. I think it’s rigged.
Without seeing your LOLs, I’m guessing that not everyone would pick up on your Motley Crue reference. If you seriously look at what gets through, it may give you a good idea of what people like best. Remember, there are a lot of people submitting LOLs. I would say only make LOLs if you like to, and stop if you don’t. If you’re submitting LOLs for the sake of getting posted, you will be disappointed.
I make them because they made me giggle. The Motley Crue one especially made me giggle. But seriously, some of the ones I sent to failblog are hysterical. Also, I did some good Biden/Palin ones and I thought they were good.. But no, I don’t make them to get posted. It would be nice if one were posted though
And then we get it on here!
Does anyone else think this would make a totally kickass Schoolhouse Rock song, a la “I’m Just a Bill”?
Great Idea!!
Then they put all the LOLs in a big pile in the middle of a bunch of monkeys masturbating. The LOL that receives the most ‘votes’ is chosen, wiped off with a sock, and put up on PunditKitchen.
Yuck
Wow, you know, that’s probably closer to the truth.
Is the sock one of Bob’s? That might explain why he’s angry a lot.
Ewww! A used sock…
‘used’ in a biblical sense…
It does explain some of bob’s ire. He does have the most socks on the pile.
Bob who ?
Nice of you to pretend innocence and therefore proclaim yourself.
Initiate chorus of Ewwws:
Ewww!
That’s truly disgusting.
Especially if you’re wearing the sock…
Love it.
Good thing he didn’t opt for ludicrous speed
He’s about to go plaid.
or paisley.
or pokka dot.
*Gasp*
Ludicrous speed? We’ve never gone that fast before! I don’t know if the ship can take it.
I love that movie.
The Space Balls have gone plaid!
But they’re all as*holes!
I knew it, I am surrounded by assholes…
Keep firing, Assholes!
Only one man is brave enough to give Dark Helmet the rasberry.
LOOOONE STAAAAAR!!!
Spaceballs win.
I hear that he can stand in self-righteous, sanctimonious judgment in up to twice that speed.
Like most religious leaders…
and atheists…
oooh a satirist… which imaginary friend do you have?
And leprechauns…
hi
Thank you for a worthless comment.
And you compounded it! Double fail!
Calm yourself please.
Hi!
Lol, this is brilliant.
Papal Segway…now with Turbo!!!
I saw the same pic that was captioned with “Hi Ho Silver Awaaay!”
It was also highly amusing.
LOL–Ema was just saying we haven’t had a Pope LOL lately!
Yep, we were overdue, and this is a good one!
I wonder how his beanie-thing stays on in such speed.
Maybe it has morphed as part of his skull?
Duct Tape, when in low gear…Staples when turbo kicks in…
double-sided carpet tape?
Well there was an earlier lol where one of his assitants was lifting his beanie as he prayed, possibly to let off steam. So we know it’s removeable.
According to the “Metro” (the free paper on the bus) the priest was putting it back ON. Apparently it blew off during his weekly address.
So his yarmulke-thing can survive high speeds, but not hot air?
It’s his Magic Pope Hat, or course it can survive high speeds!
Possibly…
It’s his Power Dome!
Way off topic, but we should so get some of those avatars for PK. The other good lol sites have them. :<
I’d be afraid to see DWN’s…
… I don’t think I am that bad… *sigh*
Actually I have a dragon head that I drew that I use for avatars.
Just messing with you. ;D
In bed…
I was curious why this was the only site w/o them
With socks, there are about a million posters on here. Perhaps they don’t have that many drawn?
Probably because this site is “teh srs bizness” No need for funny avatars.
Ah–I forgot about hau ver serus we all izuz on heer! kthxbai!
I didn’t know the Vatican had a quidditch team.
Oh, WIN!
10 POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!!!111!
Naw, he’s Slytherin through and through!
You all are missing the obvious question: How is that camera keeping up with him???????
He’s the Pope, he has Pope powers!
Maybe he’s secretly a Power Ranger?
He’s Darth Benedictus, he has Catholic Force Powers
it looks like a photoshop blur effect. becuse the hand behind him isnt blurred either
Besides which, he always rides in the PopeMobile!
and the only other person who does that is Batman….
POPEMAN…. and ALTER BOY
“Jeepers, Popeman! There’re vampires here!”
“Quick! Hit them with the Jesus disks!”
I especially like the part where the Pope says, “To the Popemobile!”
Then there’s a little trumpet fanfare and a visual of a spinning Pope hat while The Pope and Altarboy Wonder slide down poles to the Pope Cave [tm].
Pope on a pole.. is that anything like pope on a rope?
No, pope on a rope is soap; pope on a pole is a stripper.
TFF!
This makes me wonder if there is a secret order dedicated to dissent and internet chaos that sends out it’s followers in the dark cloak of internet anonymity spreading their cries of ” ‘shopped ” to undermine every photo ever.
Oh, like Scientology! Only they’re called ‘Shoppists’.. I say that is an interesting concept and one worth considering.
except they missed the one the other day that actually was shopped to paste the white house behind Obama with his dilbert tie.
No one questioned that one because it was a cool Obama photo.
The “SHOP” folk usually don’t discriminate.
Photoshop releaed a new beta version that day.
Actually there was one lone, wailing voice in the wilderness… Wasn’t me sicne I don’t care if it’s shopped or not.
Not many care, but you always get one or two that start a war about whether a pic is shopped or not.
OOooooOOOOHHHHH!!!
You’re gonna get SuuUUUUUuuuuUUUED!
and shunned!!
Southpark, FTW!
WHO TOLD YOU TH–… I mean, what an interesting idea.
Am I the only one who noticed that FaileV’s name has been ‘shopped? The “Faile” is grainier than the “V,” which is elevated slightly off the base line. Oh, and that smudge on the upper right side of the “V” is a dead giveaway! Yep, that’s ‘shopped, alright…
You can get that effect by adjusting the f-stop on a manual camera.
The hand behind isn’t blurred because it’s on what ever he’s riding on, with a Tele-Cam
The Pope is cruising around WITHOUT the bullet proof Popemobile? I guess God really IS his co-pilot.
This new one is one of the second gen T-800 Popes. They can take a lot of bullet damage.
Dang, we need to start making all our politicians and public officials based on that same model!
Reagan was the first T-800 president prototype… it had some significant flaws, but not as many as the Bush ‘I’m in charge now’ Headless chicken malfunction when there was the first field test.
Well let’s hope they got the kinks out for the first Obama model. He has to be invinceable or we may get stuck with the old Biden A50 model and that is unthinkable!
I think Obama is the liquid metal version… or Nyarlathotep…
ad Biden is the ‘creepy uncle’ model
LOL POPEMOBILE
This pope is so boring. None of the charisma of JP II. At least it means we can make more silly old man lols.
How can you say that of a man who looks SO evil, and can operate a Nazi era anti aircraft gun?
He does sort of resemble emperor palpatine, now that you mention it.
Also the love child of Robert Blake.
And the evil midget from Resident Evil 4
You said the magic word!!!!
My wang appears firm
Dance wang dance for Godwin’s Law
With a bow, it spits.
I think your wang jumped the Nazi-era gun on that one. No direct comparison to Hitler and/or Third Reich = No Godwin’s Law. Wang fail.
It only takes the mention of the Nazi word to bring out the wang.
Well, bless his pea-pickin’ heart!
Ahem, I believe I was present at the signing of the wang law in which I stated that anytime I found the words, Nazi, Hitler, or anything bringing up Godwin’s Law, I would discuss my wang. Ergo, I also bring it up when people say Grammar Nazis too.
You have failed to fail my Wang. Now it will beat you. *beats you with wang*
That’s the rule.
Careful or I will talk dirty to you… I has a wang and I am not afraid to beat with it!!!
Well, I do feel sort of responsible for instituting this rule… Every now and then I shall post the etymology of “wang” again for entertainment.
–
wang -
“penis,” 1933, slang, probably from whangdoodle, an earlier term for “gadget, thing for which the correct name is not known.” Many such words (thingy, dingus, etc.) have been used in slang for “penis,” not because the actual name was unknown, but because it was unmentionable. Another possibility is that the slang word is a variant of whang “large, thick slice” (1634), which earlier was used in the sense of “thong” (1536) and is itself a variant of thwang, an alternat form of thong (see thong).
Well, I must say that was refreshing and enlightening. Thanks to all for making this possible!
Someone has to make up for the gaping hole left by McCain’s defeat… I guess…
You really shouldn’t talk about Palin like that. She’s no longer a contender.
If this were YTMND, the caption for this one would be “LOL Catholicism.”
Mentioned that a few comments above, but I like your thinking
his vtec just kicked in yo
Go-Go Gadget Pope!
Yikes this pic actually made me dizzy just by glancing. :{
Okay, has it escaped everyone but eagle-eye rhorho that the Pope is sitting still, while the rest of the world is moving? Remember, when you’re infallible, you can also afford to be stagnate.
*stagnant*
So, actually, the crowd’s running away VERY fast?
Pardon me, do you have any Grey Pouponnnnnn….. [doppler effect]
He’s throwing cats out the window!
Meeeeeeooooooooooow!
