My Obama/Biden magnet comes off the vehicle on 1/21/2009. The day after inauguration seems like a good milepost for removing the trappings of the election, for both sides.
PALIN in ’12!!!! <—–FAIL
Relevance fail.
Funny, I just have Obama duct taped to my bumper. He’s always yelling at me, something about “Please remove me from your bumper, Illinois winters are very cold”.
To which I reply, “Please to be letting my legal woes slide so I may go to AZ where the winters are warm”.
He’s still there, I guess he is taking that whole “no negotiating with terrorists” thing too far…
So that is what you did with him after I was paid my finder/trapper fee… I was wondering what you would do with a president.
Well, I am prepared to go to extremes to get out of this extreme cold.
But that’s not all I did hee hee hee
I’m in IA… Feeling your cold weather too…
mm nice and warm here in Aus
mwahahahahahahhaa
BLARGH!!!!
I prefer the body warmth method to stay warm anyway. I can do without the dinner plate sized spiders and deadly snakes.
6 of the top 10 deadliest snakes in the world… IIRC
Basically, if it’s not tryingto kill you to eat, it’s trying to paralyse you to lay its eggs… Like the Alien homeworld, just with better beaches…
Now I am imagining Xenomorphs charging out of the ocean to jump on beach goers… It is funny and disturbing all at once. My kind of humor.
clicky name
I prefer the scorpions that are as big as my palm, thank you.
Nice… Jeeps are definitely not for the waves.
I try to avoid all venomous critters though I want to raise some scorpions. A pet store owner told me they come with the stingers removed and I looked at him like he had taken leave of his senses, let alone the point of having a venomous critter.
friends of ours ‘lost’ a pet snake the other day…
Some people got strange hobbies
A venomous one?
Damn, I hit the “add comment” button instead of the enter key. One of these days I’ll learn to pull my head out of my arse before I start typing…
.
I was meaning to add that if it was venomous, PLZ 2 GIVES DEM HELL. At least here, it’s venomous animals running away that make some people scream for legislation about all similar animals. (Our snake is safer than a worm.)
nah just a nippy one – it prefers mice though apparently… so reassuring
I once had a tarantula in my bedroom, 2nd floor, in Massachusetts! Don’t move next to a plant shop–you never do know what is hiding in those giant cacti! O.O
GAH!!! This never would have occured to me, thanks for the spider avoidance tip. I now must go do the squicky spider dance at the mere thought of a tarantula in my room (there is a reason I live in the north).
On the topic of creepy critters but having
absolutely no relation to the caption, do an
image search for japanese hornets.
now those creep me the heck out
@Paul: Why? Why oh why do I have to google every time someone tells me to look something up??
*throws up a little in mouth* Click my name for a disturbing yet oddly compelling video.
My neighbor is a bee keeper, and it’s great to have all of those cute little honey bees around. I only made it 1/3 of the way through.
*is permanently scarred*
WTF, was that narrated by Optimus Prime?
dude that s**t is pretty f**ked up right here
I hate wasps and hornets, they are sooo mean!
nice call on the optimus prime btw
8 of 10 as I recall.
Oh, and DWN, charro has no body warmth to snuggle up to. Sad charro is sad.
Reminds me of college. Sucks.
Charro is Zathras… and I claim my $5
*hands Unc $20*
Is Charro Zathras or Zathras? Perhaps Zathras? Afterall, there were 10 of them…
Zathras has very sad life. Probably have very sad death. But at least there is symmetry.
I’ve been dying to use this one ever since eddie said he was from Australia! Clicky name, please. (And cross your fingers that WordPress doesn’t devour this one!)
HA! nice. That one’s a harmless huntsman btw- scary as hell tho when they run up your arms out of the letterbox!
Yeek! I love to watch spiders from a distance, but if they crawl on me, I do a freak-out dance. Do not want, even if they’re not poisonous!
i know what you mean… big do not want!
I try not to be mean to the spideys though cos they take care of the roachies and other annoying bugs the roachies certainly love the humidity! EVIL
I used to live in a house with tons of spiders who were actually venomous and it sucked. Made me paranoid so I jerk if I feel little legs on me too.
Zoiks!!! *with Austrailian accent* “Crikey!! That Spider took your baby”!
‘makin music makin songs and fightin round the world’
Stupid ‘Australia’ movie and Steve Irwin making everyone think we say crikey all the time!
Hmph.
most of the poisonous spiders in Aus like to keep to themselves thankfully… if the funnel web and redback stay in their holes and corners, i won’t bother them!
Snakes on the other hand… nah honestly, we’re not that scary! just don’t go trying to make friends with things that have too many or not enough legs and you should be fine!
Exactly. I like tame pet snakes, though. It feels so cool when they twist around my arm!
yeah it’s the brown guys not the tame pythons you have to worry about
Oh, damnit. I cannot wrestle html very well. Sorry.
(
i’ll croc wrestle you!
And I’ve heard you should give the movie a miss…
You forgot to close the </blockquote>
I know – it is pretty obvious. ;o)
I don’t understand using the blockquote on a short passage, anyway. Why not simply use quotation marks?
Because it is clearer to see, since PK doesn’t allow for real paragraph breaks.
Another way is to italicise it as well as use quote tags..
Yeah, what PiMan said!
) Also, I tend to litter my own text with quotation marks. Using another method to mark what I am responding to feels clearer. Maybe I could stick to “this style”, of course.
I’m a changed woman
Thanks Kuro — I’ll be sure NOT to show that to my wife!
-
My wife is really upset over huntsman spiders. Me? I just kill it. But yeah, when you see one all spread out it does give you a start!
You know what I hate more then the damn spiders and snakes? The magpies (and no, not the team). Those things just plain freak me out what the swooping and noise making. The only redeeming quality is I like the whistle or whatever you call it.
-
I actually like the movie ‘Australia’. Yes, it was cheesy, but I still liked it. And you don’t hear people running around saying crikey, fair dinkum, bloody oath or a host of other words unless they’re an ocker or a bogan.
-
Speaking of bogans, I live where they all come to homestead..
I could deal with a plate-sized harmless spider a lot sooner than I could deal with a vinegaroon! Are those in Australia, Eds?
Wiki didn’t seem to be clear, other than saying Pacific Islands. So if they are here, they would only be in the furthest north areas.
As long as you don’t want to live in the tropics, you’d be fine.
Thank you for looking. Their range here is in hot, arid climates, as far as I know. They’re scary looking enough, but their smell is horrific.
O_O Okay, new scariest thing in all Creation… *is terrified*
HUntsman spiders are far from harmless. You die from a heart-attack when you pull them out of your letterbox. You die from embarrassment when you poo your pants when you pull them out from the letterbox.
These spiders are vindictive, too. We had one that took a couple of direct hits from a newspaper. We called him Mr Three-Legs, and he would hide in very awkward places, and then dart out and scare the snot out of us if we used the dunny…
Harmless? My hairy arse-cheeks!
OK. That’s bigger than my bedroom tarantula. I am SO not moving to Australia now!!
Nooooooo!!!!! Make it go away! *shivers* I’ll take living in a cold climate over giant bugs any day. Bring on the snow b*tches!
Luckily the run away or try and hide as soon they realize they’ve been discovered.
I think if I ever saw one in person, my first impulse would be to get closer and check it out. Then I’d realize, “Oh crap, this thing is big enough to take my arm off,” and freeze. But I’m glad they’re not dangerous, at least.
No Ed, no! You don’t want them to hide, how will you kill them? If they hide they have the opportunity to sneak up on you when you least expect it, like WHEN YOU’RE SLEEPING!!! I was driving to class one night in the spring and I had the roof back on my car and when I pulled into the parking lot a spider ran in from the roof and disappeard where the windshield meets the roof. I was like 20 minutes late for class because I was digging up there with my nail file. I was a panicked freak for days and drove with a napkin clutched in my hand thinking it was going to jump out at me.
That lovely tarantula also ran and hid on me…this encounter was 5:30 am during a ‘wake up for the bathroom’. And yes Kuro, I did go to look more closely, thinking ‘I must be dreaming’…but dream bugs do NOT crawl, nor are they 6 inches across. So I went to find a bowl and plate to trap it, but the darned critter hid on me in the meantime. I got stuck sitting awake until 8am, then calling around to try and find a pest company that would believe me about having a tarantula in my bedroom! I’m still VERY grateful for the gentleman who finally didn’t hang up on me. Sigh.
Blargh??? My home this is!
Kind of.. the last couple of days have been blah..
Have you thought of pimping him out? With him attached to your bumper, you could even offer free delivery–Bonus!
I thought about it, but he tries to run each time “the transfer” is taking place. It kinda kills the mood.
Hey now! I offered to leg him for a nominal fee but you wanted him intact…
I know, but you were the only one who just wanted a “piece”. The others pay more for him intact.
But, upon consideration, you can have your leg.
I don’t really want the leg. Just stating that I offered to keep him from being able to run. I will use the leg for evil rituals since he is apparently a god from the Cthulhu Mythos so sayeth the UF.
Well I guess I just naturally assumed that the fee for the legging would be a leg, for said ritual. Sometimes I jump to conclusions.
I imagine his incessant “uhs” kill the mood, too.
Or … Maybe. Possibly even worse he does it like he speaks whereeverysentencestartsoutslowlanpcksuppace. That … Could. Probably also be veryannoyingafteraltlwhl. I … Would. Be. Quite annoyed at least, Iamsureoftht!
It’s Shatner, with better hair.
…and there was much rejoicing. (Within a … three-foot-radius of my computer, there was, at least.
)
Hehehehe, it makes me happy to be the cause of merriment
)
But Rod Blagojevich offered me $100 to take ‘em down …
And Larry Craig offered oral sex …
Bravo!
Well that’s what I said, but they both got arrested before I could cash in.
Shame… though Vlad didn’t seem impressed with Larry Craig.
WOA!!!
Oh wait, Larry Craig, not Daniel Craig.
Never mind!!
I would consider it if Daniel Craig offered.
And Jane Hull offered them a propane car tax credit…
but only if it was a U-Hull badum bum
*shakes head*
Ev Meachum – we impeached-um
This is great, I’ve lived in two states in my life and both states have impeached 2 governors while I lived there… Hmmm.. A pattern emerges.
Now that’s a talent you could market!
“Pay me to move to your state so your governor makes shitty choices and gets romoved…”
Given time, I can make that snappier but I am not sure if you would like the people in the market for that talent.
You planning on moving to Kalifornia anytime soon?
You do not like the Governator?
Don’t bother trying to remove him…he’ll be bahck.
Actually he has surprised me, the first, and only, time I have voted Republican was for his re-election. (I voted against the recall).
You voted against Total Recall?
Too many lobbyists.
Bumper stickers don’t bother me at all, but those stupid yard signs need to go down the day after the election.
Agree in a small fashion, however I’d prefer to see all the local signs taken down… In my area they pop up like daisy’s in empty fields and NEVER go away… until Mother Nature is sick of them and blows them into traffic… chaos ensues…
At least it makes the morning commute interesting.
There’s a guy in my town who carries around the Obama/Biden sign and waves it at passing cars. He did it before the election, and he’s still doing it now. I’m torn between praising his dedication and being creeped out by his obsessiveness.
There’s a guy like that in my town too! he rides a bike and dances. Obama signs hanging off the back of his bike. It’s hilarious.
Reminds me of that satire news report from The Onion where the obsessed Obama fans have nothing to do now that the election is over. It’s prety funny.
My dad finally took the 2 foot by 4 foot McCain/Palin sign out of our yard a little while ago. I was relieved.
Especially as you live in Dorset…
No, I don’t… *confused* Is this a reference I’m not getting?
I ave no idea if it was reference, but it was funny.
I have no idea if it’s a reference, but it’s funny.

(Just made a post with a smiley, so in a while this will look double, I bet. Or not.)
It’s a county in England…
I knew that, but I don’t live anywhere near England. Trust me, I’d be a much happier camper if I did.
but you’d get a lot of odd looks if you have a McCain/Palin sign in your front yard… any time…
I think you sent her cerebral cortex into flat spin. Better give up this time.
No, I got the joke. I was just wondering if he had gotten my geography mixed up with someone else’s.
I don’t believe he was confused about your location. It was part of the joke, IMO.
Where would one find a sign that large? I’ve seen bigger.
That’s what she said.
Beat me to it–D@mn!
My dad got it from the local branch of the GOP, along with about a billion smaller ones. Our yard looked ridiculous until someone stole the little ones.
Obama developed a bunch of creepy fanchildren. Politicians can do that, apparently.
Godcamp – Grow your own Midwich Cuckoos…
and palin’s fanchildren are any better?
At least they’re not banding together and singing creepy ‘great leader’ King Farquad songs.
I think he’s compensating for something…
No, but some of ‘em were just short of wearing white hoods.
*shudders*
I met some real “charmers” during my trip through Arkansas just before the election… yikes.
I see more McSame/Failin signs around here than Obama/Biden. But like, every black kid at the mall wears Obama shirts.
REALLY. I stopped wearing my Obama shirt and hung it up in a frame and put it on a wall in the study.
Bumper stickers are okay though. It gives me something to make fun of you when I’m in a traffic jam.
Because that’s why this country was founded: so that we can make fun of people who don’t agree with us.
Well yeah, isn’t that the american dream?
Life, something, something, and the pursuit of being a prick.
I LOLd!
Yea, that sounds right.
No, this country was founded so we can beat and ostracize people who don’t agree with us – just ask the Puritans. Or better yet, please don’t……
I’ve seen Obama/Biden bumper stickers on cars here in Australia and thinking, “WTF?”
I’ve seen Kerry Edwards stickers here in America and I’m like WTF? *not lying at all*
I’ve seen myself in the mirror and I’m like. “WTF!!?? I don’t look like that, do I?”
Me too…. me too.
I saw myself in the background of a home video the other day and thought,”Who’s that old, fat bloke?”
I have movies I made that were silly when I was in college and my son loves them. I just want to crawl in a hole when I see them though…
When I hear my voice on my camcorder, I cringe. I think, “oh my god I sound so annoying!”
Well…
(nevermind)
I had that thought too, rho. Maybe Maxwell and his forced bride are making uglies for the little shops outside the Fortress of Solitude? I wonder if Jenna Jamison shows up in any of them….
As long as Max and Jane don’t sneak into the FoS for a quicky…
If Jane’s a screamer, with that screech owl voice of hers, she’ll shatter the whole place…
…or not…
They see me being kidnapped and forced to marry a hot evil warlord, they hatin’… : P
*holds bleeding ears*
*runs away, screaming in agony*
She. raps. too! Arrrggghhh!!!
Cannae stand hearing my voice played back -it sounds so different!
You let your son watch your videos? Oh, not *those* videos. Phew. ;-]
Oh no, I don’t have videos like that. I try to be as little of a health hazard as possible.
No kidding. That reminds me of the one thing that got me to stop wearing so much black. I saw a picture of myself and thought “Oh, sh!t….I look like a fvckin’ mime…”
Mimes… Silent but Deadly.
But if it wasn’t for mimes, who would we direct our anger at?
Wallabies!
Clowns.
A mime is a terrible thing to waste.
Eh. I’m wearing a black shirt, a silvery grey tie with floral pattern, my crisp new black trench coat and black felt hat today. I look a bit like a wise guy and a bit like the Nazi sadist from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Um…slanagat, is it No Pants Day? I can’t help but notice you didn’t mention any.
I’ve got a fair amount of black and grey on myself today, too: grey jacket with a black knit shirt under and my big ol’ (super awesome) black boots, but I’ve got a red skirt in between which cheers it up a little.
…I’m wearing a pink shirt and jeans… >.>
-
Hold on. *runs to get Academic Team sweatshirt, which is black*
-
Okay, I’m in dress code now!
Blackshirt? Fascist. (tho a fascist with a nice tie : ) )
I think you’re thinking of brownshirts. Though in truth I was wearing khaki trousers with, so I was skating close to looking like a black & tan!
Good thing I had the black broad-brimmer to counter the effect.
(Let’s see how many Irish music fans there are on PK……)
Slan agat, I always thought it was a broad black brimmer,
but at any rate it’s the one me father used to wear – or was
that his sash?
A holster that’s been empty many a day – but not for long!
That’s what she said.
And in fact my hat looks very like the one in question, but black wool felt with a narrower ribbon. (How ironic that the linked pic is Rev. Paisley; funny that he should be wearing such a thing.)
You invoke the power of Godwin and like a perky genie I am here. I shall bestow three wishes upon you and not grant a damn one.
Wang one thousand. Wang Million… Wangellinium.
That last bit made me feel dirty…
Wow, DWN, your wang is getting a lot of use lately, huh?
A lot more than usual. Then again, on the overall scale of things, this is considered light use by PK.
Wangfinity?
Interesting though it sounds like a Hip Hop title still. *snickers*
Or possibly a model of cut-rate car from South Korea or something, come to think of it.
Ride a Wang today! Buy Wangfinity.
Hmmm
Dude, does an overt movie reference having nothing to do with actual politics really count for wangification purposes?
Twas the word, not the reference. Sometimes, my wang is simply inevitable.
Hmm, I’ll have to investigate this under a
wangnifying glass.
Wang you very much for your insight into a problem of this wangnitude.
Everybody have fun tonight! Everybody Wang Chung tonight!
Joy to the wang, the wang is come …
It deminishes with age because you just don’t care anymore.. there’s hope for ya!
I think we all have those days.
I’ve actually see Obama hats, jackets and shoes and among other things…
I personally also own a pair of Obama Air Force Ones.
I won’t tell what I did with an Obama tee-shirt.
AND HOW
Dude, Philly law says you have to take down the signs your campaign put up, and until you do that, you can’t complain about private lawns.
The only open Obama supporters (by “open”, I mean they have signs on their lawn) I’ve seen in my Texas suburban neighborhood took down their sign a week or two ago. A lot of people still have their McCain signs up, and a house I see often still has their huge McCain/Palin sign on their fence… Seriously, it’s freakin’ huge. A lot of the black kids at my school are still wearing Obama T-shirts, though.
“and a house I see often still has their huge McCain/Palin sign on their fence”
So sometimes they have it and sometimes they don’t? Do they take it down at night and store it for safekeeping? Or just bring it in for family prayers?
It isn’t tacky until January, I’ll take it down then.
No, that’s your Christmas lights!
)
No, that’s May or June!
Oh…yeah. That’s right. (Well, you sometimes want to wait until you have nice weather to get out there and take them down, right? At least that’s my excuse.)
“It’ll stay there with the sleigh and the broken down tractor until Jesus takes them all!” *runs into flame shelter and locks the door*
That tractor’s not broken. It’s decorative.
Rustic even.
Rusting even.
Rusted even.
Rustoleum even
.
Damn, I thought I’d get in with the furthest sighting of an Obama bumper sticker (Ireland), but eddiepscetti beat me hands down with Australia! It still makes me smile every time I see it though
NEVER!!!!!!!!! lol…
Hey guys look what I have discovered on internet today, http://crashtheinauguration.com, It lets you find a place to stay and book a room online with local DC residents, info on how to get to DC, and info on parties and events going on. so if you or your friend who wants to attend the inauguration and is without ticket ask them to visit this wonderful website!
Cheers!
No need. They were all stolen before the election.
The bumper sticker’s staying as long as possible tho. I’m surrounded by Republicans.
lol haha
srsly.
