    Well, I guess I’m first…

    But it’s really true… People are gullible..

    • lora_vine says:

      In fact I would like to change my previous comment to

      But it’s really true…. People are Stupid…

      • palsyboy says:

        You’re right about the stupidity. Why else would you mention being first?

        • Dean says:

          Can we please all get over this first! first! first! business? Nasty leftover from kindergarten. How about a world-wide moratorium? Everyone just grow the hell up and get a life and stop it? It gives us the creeps thinking of you hovering, waiting for a new pic to be posted, so you can zoom in with your very, very boring firstness. Thank you.

          • ImmortalityLTD says:

            You sound bitter. Never been first?

            • pittypat says:

              Well Immortal, it really *can* be very annoying. But in Lora’s
              case she tempered it kind of nicely with additional words.

            • minerva146 says:

              There’s a lot more people who laugh at the “first” people than actually seek to Make a “first” comment. On PK it’s particularly frowned upon. You can go have drinks and dances with the cat people if you don’t like.

              • ImmortalityLTD says:

                “Frowned upon”? What is this, Harvard?

                I thought it was a comedy/parody site, not CNN or Foxnews. My bad. I’ll go dance with the cat people now.

                They know a joke when they see it.

                • minerva146 says:

                  It’s also frowned upon on FAILBlog.

                  • ImmortalityLTD says:

                    Thanks for the primer.

                    You proved my point, but it was subtle, so I’ll spell it out for you: Lighten up, have a little fun, don’t get your panties in a wad.

                    • froofrou says:

                      Leave. Don’t insult regulars when you don’t even bother to consider the informal ‘rules of posting’ as they are kindly and respectfully explained to you.

                      • Janus says:

                        “Regulars”? “Rules of posting,” informal or otherwise? Being offended by a non-”regular”‘s comment? Um. Wow. My life suddenly seems so much brighter than it did a few minutes ago.

                        • Oddly enough, I still say First from time to time just to be an ass.

                        • Musicmom870 says:

                          Still odder, I’m not offended by first posts. Maybe my world is full of more offensive things. Who knows?

                        • The Pirate King says:

                          You’re right, I just tend to skip them over myself.
                          Am I the only person who thinks it’s a little futile to command someone to “leave” a website? Will they go? Are they gone? Do they care?
                          To all of the above the answer is: probably not.

                        • NinjaHen says:

                          I always tell people…
                          “Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics. Even if you win, you’re still a retard.”
                          It’s the internet. you don’t have any power over other people unless you’re a moderator of some sort and can do bad things to peoples accounts. and if you’re gonna use mod powers over petty stuff like someone yelling “first”, you don’t deserve to be a mod.
                          and here I am trying to influence people to stop arguing. XD Really though, everyone constantly talking about how annoying it is when people post first? that just encourages those people who enjoy seeing so many people respond to what they say. I might actually be tempted to post first if I did happen to be first, just so people would say something about what I said. XD I know no one’s gonna even read all this. Cookies at those who do though :D *Pegs readers with cookies*

                    • Kuromisa says:

                      …and yelling out “FIRST!” is fun why, exactly? I don’t see the appeal.

                      • froofrou says:

                        It appeals to the lowest common denominator. Re: ImmortalityLTD.

                        • Who, I will note for the record, didn’t squee “first” him/herself. Don’t know them, but I don’t think what they said was that terrible.

                          I move we just ignore “first!” posts instead of getting into long threads about whether or not first-ing is bad….

                        • ImmortalityLTD says:

                          Now who’s insulting whom? Nothing in any of my posts could be constued as an insult by anyone but the most hyper-sensitive.

                          I was simply reminding all why we’re here… to have fun.

                        • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                          I would have to say I take offense to the “panties in a wad” comment
                          ImmortalityLTD… my thongs do NOT get wadded up. Thats why
                          I wear them.

                        • rhorho says:

                          (mental note: add thongs to VooDoo doll)

                        • deaddrift says:

                          One would probably suffice, I imagine….

                        • rhorho says:

                          Oh–Good Catch!!
                          Those things are hard as heck to sew, too.
                          Maybe I could get away with yarn…

                        • OhMyGoodness says:

                          Yarn thongs? Ow. That’s gonna leave burns where you don’t want them. And there’s nothing worse than a burn between toes.
                          Is deaddrift an amputee? Why wouldn’t he want a pair?

                        • Uncle Fester says:

                          Yarn Thong – just screams ‘skid marked string’ to me…

                        • rhorho says:

                          I try to watch what I feed my Voodoo dolls
                          for that very reason…

                      • ImmortalityLTD says:

                        Because it tends to get people’s panties in a wad.

                        Until they realize that that’s why everyone does it. Then they just ignore it.

                        • palsyboy says:

                          I’ve been first before, and it was no thrill. Posting just to get peopel’s panties in a wad is called trolling, ImmortalityLTD. And for those who post it to “have fun,” it’s going tog give me an aneurysm someday along the lines of Lewis Black’s explanation of them. You’re on the same level as, “If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.”

                        • Danny says:

                          If you don’t acknowledge it when people say first then it takes the fun out of it. Another thing that takes the fun out of it is Fark.com’s approach:

                          If you type “first” or some sort of qualifying variant, your post will be time-warped so that you won’t be first (even if you were at the time) and “first” will be replaced with “Bewbies” or something. It’s quite a deterrent because then everybody laughs at you, as well.

                          Ultimately, ignore it and it will go away. Keep complaining about it and people are going to keep doing it to get a rise out of you. It’s your pick. In the mean-time, I’ll keep posting my “nawt secunds!”.

                        • palsyboy says:

                          No, it doesn’t. That vast majority of “firsts” on this and other ICHC sites go unanswered. There are people who really, really enjoy it because they think if makes them cool…or whatever irrational reason they have for it.

                          Perhaps from now on, however, I’ll modify your strategy (“nawt secunds” encourages them to keep posting) to just answer them with something equally stupid, e.g., “Did you know that using sunblock reduces your risk of arthritis?”

                        • Uncle Fester says:

                          They do it because they’re tossers.

                          As to getting upset, or even irritated by it – all that means is I’ve been casting pearls before swine…

                        • palsyboy says:

                          Which makes you, as you say, a tosser.

                        • rhorho says:

                          Unc’s a pearl tosser, truly. But why does
                          that sound so dirty?

                  Fox News is serious business!!!

            • I was first to get to a party the other night. It wasn’t nearly as exciting as you might think. We looked at the empty room for a minute and then went and sat at the bar to watch football and wait for everyone else to show up.

              • Reason 124359 why I don’t go to normal parties. Or abnormal parties for that matter.

                I am vaguely intrigued by the idea of High Protocol Leather Party that Barton told me about but I am too laid back for that in my opinion. That and the idea of me in leather would scar most people, let alone actually seeing it.

                *shudder* So I plan to avoid parties in general.

                • It was an Obligation Party (as in the person for whom the party was being given was somebody I report to, so good manners and all…) but once everyone showed up it was nice enough. At least it was a far nicer restaurant than I could afford if I was paying, so there’s that.

                  But I didn’t jump around yelling “First!” when I got there, either.

      • Perhaps the stupidity of the general public is the fault of society– we practically tend to their every need!

        Just look at television, hollywood, and magazines: they tend to stay in the 6th to 8th grader span of vocabulary, etc. It’s so sad.

  4. kthnxbai says:

    There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once — shame on — shame on you. You fool me, you can’t get fooled again.

    ———————————————————————————————-
    Dubya attempting to co-opt Texas and Tennessee into his verbal wreckage. The saying he was trying to dredge up was “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Even better, Dubya was speaking at a literature magnet school. I’m sure it was a learning experience for the kids.

    • CF says:

      That was voiceshopped and you know it :)

    • n8 says:

      There is one thing at which Dubya has succeeded wildly: he has made his father’s speeches look coherent and intelligible by comparison!

      • Kuromisa says:

        However, I’ve seen a bunch of quotes attributed to both Dubya and Dan Quayle. Dubya’s speeches are masterpieces of meandering incoherence, but I think the Internet makes him look worse than he probably is.

        • n8 says:

          Wait, attributed to Dubya, or to his dad? Daddy Bush tended to meander a lot, while Dan Quayle was just a hopeless sack of fail. Daddy Bush might have been a meanderer on purpose, to confuse the listener into thinking the speech meant what the listener wanted it to mean, and to have wiggle room later. Dubya just gets lost and starts making up words (ex. “misunderestimated”) and pronunciations.

        • Tessie says:

          Could b*sh the lesser be the unholy offspring of Bush 41 and Dan Quayle? It would explain a lot.

      • rhorho says:

        This article provides a possible explanation. [LINK]

        • mothergoose says:

          That is a possible explanation. Then again, maybe he is just that dumb!! The man actually said that “too many OBGYN’s in America are not free to practice their love.” Huh? That’s kinda like saying “too many proctologists in America aren’t free to practice their plumbing”…what an idiot…What kinds of “literature” do you think will wind up in the Dubya Presidential Library?

          • GiganTick says:

            I remember that. xD
            I lawled.
            But the site is right; if you look, the pictures on the back of the kid’s book and his are reversed. Unless he got the one misprint, I mean.

          • PortlandMark says:

            The complete phrase was “Too many obgyn’s in America are not free to practice their love with women”, which I think everyone will agree is a sentence that seems to suggest more than it really does.

            • GiganTick says:

              But suggesting more than what’s said is a complicated ideal that Americans either don’t get or don’t want to get, or we understand and make fun of it anyway.

                The word cannabis has far too many sylables for GW. If he had read a few issues he may have taken the time to make a sensible drug policy instead of continued funding for the “War on Drugs”.

                Maybe he just really loves pointless wars that he can’t win?

                Making it illegal doesn’t prevent it’s use, it simply puts people in jail for using it and makes it possible for organized crime to make a profit selling it. HOLY CRAP! That sounds like the same conclusion the government came to regarding prohibition of alcohol….interesting.

                • The Pirate King says:

                  Lots of politicians vote to fund the so-called “war” on drugs. Its one of those things that everyone can get behind and look good for the cameras while they pretend to be non-partisan. It’s the political equivalent of saying: “Puppies are cute”, or “Ice cream tastes good.”
                  The reason pot is still illegal in America is because you just can’t effectively tax and regulate it. Plus, pot’s like nuclear power, it’s been a bugbear for so long that most people have a knee-jerk reaction against it.

                    There was a movie (the title of which escapes me at the moment) where Chris Rock was running for President, and made a speech saying that he was in favor of good health, “but my opponent is in favor of cancer”.

          • OhMyGoodness says:

            I’m still cracking up over the idea of a GWB Presidential Library. In country towns we have a few buses that are now mobile libraries for kids.

      A good quip, but Bush isn’t really as dumb as some say.

      I’ve heard it said that his problem vis-a-vis intelligence is that he could walk into a room with John Nash, Marilyn vos Savant, Noam Chomsky, and Stephen Hawking — and Dubya would think he himself was the smartest person in the room.

I do not believe the stuff on the blackboard was there either, but yes….He freaking had the book upside down >.< Moron…. Thank God we got a smart Black guy next because if it were McCain I was going to assume they waived the IQ rule

    • DropOfKim says:

      This picture was taken in 2002. He was reading the book you are thinking of when he was in the classroom when the towers went down. The stuff WAS on the blackboard. And NO, he did not have the book upside down. GAH. If you had actually gone to the website mentioned in the pic, then you would know this and not have embarrassed yourself by referring to others intelligence when yours is surely lacking.

    The following notorious poem is composed completely of lines uttered by Dubya:

    Make the pie higher:

    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!

        You might enjoy this read. Actually the chart on Point 1 (listed last) goes a
        long way showing what no Bush (either H.W. or W.) would like anyone to
        see. Click on my name for [LINK].

    • mothergoose says:

      Given the past eight years as his resume, I don’t rely on his inability to speak in public as the only sign of his lack of intelligence. I have heard him speak publicly about baseball when he owned the Texas Rangers, and he had no problems discussing baseball as a topic. He never stammered or tried to use words that were “over his head”. That being said…why the sudden change when he became President? Could it be that he was out of his league?

      • Biff says:

        It could be that when talking in Texas about the Texas Rangers, he wasn’t afraid to sound like a Texan. In his presidential speeches, if you notice, he masks his Texan accent as much as possible, and that makes him fumble around for words.

        When he speaks freely (in a heavy Texan drawl) he is quick, witty and intelligent sounding.

        I heard a psychologist note that when Bush talks about things like education, health care, and promoting the general welfare, he stutters, stammers, and sounds incoherent. However, whenever he talked about killin’, suddenly, he sounds coherent. What does that suggest to the class?

        • minerva146 says:

          He’s a sociopath?

        • rhorho says:

          The body reveals much about a lying person. Any polygraph technician
          knows that much. More interesting to me are body cues one emits while
          lying. It’s as though the lizard brain reacts against the cerebrum. Pupils
          dilate, arms can fold, shifting and posture typically changes, and, in our culture, people sometimes nod their heads side-to-side (to indicate “no”)
          when telling lies. There are other signs, as well. 70% of in-person
          communication is non-verbal, so the field is an interesting one.

          During the Clinton years, much was made of his raising eyebrows while
          stressing a point. Opponents made much of his habit, claiming that one
          could tell that Clinton was lying whenever he raised his eyebrows. I
          started watching Clinton shortly after hearing the speculation, and
          noticed that Clinton had evidently trained himself not to raise his
          eyebrows for emphasis, though he had done so often in the past.

          Bush would have a harder time controlling his “body’s rebellion” with
          this manifestation. It’s puzzling why he hasn’t resorted to reading his
          more outlandish lies from teleprompters or notes. There is, perhaps,
          an element of righteousness, or good ol’ fashioned stubbornness, in his
          makeup that keeps him from seeking ways to hide his lies.

          • FaileV says:

            How does that sort of thing work for chronological liars? the kind that lie so often that it is their first response. Do they still have the average signs or does it change?

            • rhorho says:

              That gets into why polygraphs can fail. Deluded and sociopathic
              people don’t necessarily register the normal “guilt” related body
              rebellion.

                Semi-related, but a couple of years ago in my biotechnology class, my teacher (who was and still is my favorite teacher of all time) showed us a movie that said, among other things, that the actions of an average corporation indicate definite sociopathy. Between that and genetically altering E. coli bacteria, it was the best class I’ve ever taken.

                • pittypat says:

                  Average corporation and average politician.
                  To me, W. is a combo. of Dyslexia, ADHD, sociopathy,
                  and goofy. Heavy on the goofy.

                • FaileV says:

                  I saw that movie, but in a far less enjoyable class, the teacher (not a prof, didn’t even have a doctorate >.>) was a bit of a wingnut. We were learning something about, retroactive memory or…something, i forgot what it is called but basically instead of learning all about computers in case you have a problem, you have a person near you that knows about computers. She started talking about how the brain is too small to hold all our memories and they really float around outside our heads, and that’s how psychics do what they do >.<
                  She also said something about this mysterious rock at stone henge that if you touch it, it’s warm…which for those that don’t know, it’s just a different sort of rock that withholds its heat better than the rocks normally associated with stone henge.
                  ugh sorry i’m just rather pissed i wasted time and money on that class.

                • OhMyGoodness says:

                  Genetically altering e.coli? What did you doo?

                  • rhorho says:

                    It probably had something to do with stirring uni food…

                  • Kuromisa says:

                    Our last lab of the year was genetically modifying E.coli so they’d glow under a UV light. We introduced jellyfish genes into their systems, and they started making the phosphorescent proteins that make some jellyfish glow. It was really cool, seeing the blacklight go on and the petri dish suddenly start glowing. <3 I think that class decided my career for me. It was amazing.
                    -
                    However, to make sure the only bacteria that survived were the ones that had taken on the gene, we also added a drug resistance gene. We had to bleach them right after the lab to ensure they didn’t, um, accidentally make it into the cafeteria food.

    The scary thing about this picture is not that he was reading the book upside down which of course he wasn’t but that so many could believe it. He’s such an idiot that people could actually believe that he could hold a book upside down and not notice. It’s no wonder that so many people hated him and rejoiced when Obama was elected. He’s going to get a lot more respect from the world at large than Shrub ever did.

    • mothergoose says:

      Snopes.com is a wonderful website, my friend…try it sometime. :-)

      • Johnathan says:

        I hate Snopes, look at the stuff they cite sometimes, their research is garbage. I don’t know this case, but it is incredibly risky to say “Snopes said it is false, therefore it is false,” you let yourself get taken in by the biases the site presents

        • mothergoose says:

          Duly noted.

        • This comment is totally shopped. The parenthesis are all wrong. And biases seems wrong, looks skewed. Totally calling shinnanegans.

          *looks at my post* Ya, that’s shopped too.

        • minerva146 says:

          Still better than letting the general populace believe they are going to get $10K from a bank in Tanzania if they send their bank info for the transfer. I don’t think the research is horrible, even if now and then you get a squirrelly source. The people need someplace to go to find this stuff out as falsehoods. If not snopes, are YOU going to provide this service??

        • slaggingham says:

          Bingo. Snopes’s conclusions are not entirely reliable.

          Sometimes their “source” for someone having said or done something is no better than “the person in question said he/she did/didn’t do it, therefore it is so.”

          • minerva146 says:

            These are the exception, not the rule though, and some of them are on things like the 50 pound cat. If the guy says it’s a fake because he made it, then, duh, that’s a reliable source. Personal accounts do mot automatically become bad sources simply because 15 news sources didn’t also cover it. Besides, who do you think provides the info to the news sources??

            it’s still WAY better than letting Joe Average be without any place to go to check up on this sort of stuff.

      • TheCake says:

        Yes. I will now check up every insignificant thing I see on snopes. Just to make sure. It there really cheese on my sandwich? Snopes will know!

  16. SSgt. Somebody says:

    Can’t we all just have a laugh at the idiot’s expense, whether it’s photoshopped or not?

  17. Stephen says:

    Photoshopped or not, pretending it wasn’t made for much funnier captions than this one.

    I’ve always been understood that, on this site, Bush is not an actual president, but instead, just a fictional character. I think the majority of the folks who view this site understand the line between the two.

    Bush, on this site, is like one of those funny drawings they do in the park where your head is huge and all your features exaggerated. It’s purely for fun.

    The same could be said about any politician that’s made their way onto this site. It’s comedy. It’s Parody. You can’t take it too seriously.

  18. Mr.Wholesome says:

    The picture is a thousand times funnier than the banner. Seriously, pointing out photoshopped pictures is funny? hum….

    Pointing out photoshopped pictures…
    Not Funny
    Since 19somethingoranother.

  19. She says:

    What I like about this one (and makes it hard for many to laugh) is that it makes fun of us, the public, who can be so ready to believe something we see when it matches our point of view. And on this site, we’re used to being the ones mocking others, not being mocked ourselves. Most internet users are pretty cynical on this kind of stuff these days, but we still love it when it makes a fool of someone we can’t stand. This caption simply makes a fool of us. Turn about is fair play; I thought it was pretty clever.

    • Mr.Wholesome says:

      This is just like the Darth Vader Police picture. It was funny but then in the comments some guy pointed out that it’s a picture from SG1 or some other sci-fi crap. Pointing it out wasn’t funny, the picture was. Same thing here. The picture is funny, pointing out the reality of it isn’t. But you are correct about turn about being fair play. That’s why that crude picture with Obama and Ted Kennedy sitting by eachother and both thinking “I don’t want to be assassinated, maybe I shouldn’t sit so close to this guy” made me chuckle.

      • rhorho says:

        There’s room for both, imo. If people post what they know about a photo
        for educational purposes, there’s no harm, imo.

        Agreeing with you, if someone posts “that’s not funny because that’s not
        the guy in the photo,” etc., the ensuing troll bashing meets with much glee.

      • Some guy? Try about 37 Way Too Serious guys…not to mention they couldn’t agree whether it was Jin-Roh or something else. So very much not the point!

      Interesting article, rho.
      I may have posted to this effect before, but somebody-or-other who works in a mental health setting said that if they’d never seen or heard of b*sh, but somebody walked into their clinic that:
      – couldn’t speak a coherent sentence
      – fell down a lot
      – showed other signs of impaired coordination (e.g. choking on food)
      – laughed and giggled inappropriately
      – had a “flat affect” (that deer in headlights stare)
      they would be assumed to be in for evaluation/treatment, because those things, while not necessarily symptoms of a specific illness, are all “soft signs” of neurological problems.
      `
      Personally, given that he was born with approximately four-fifths of a brain to begin with, and then spent the next thirty years shredding that little brain molecule with alcohol and drugs, I think it would be a medical miracle if he *were* functioning normally.

      • Mr.Wholesome says:

        Did this line make you laugh, “Bush is five times smarter than people think he is.”
        So he’s five times smarter than zero intelligence? (joking, joking, calm down rightwingers)

        • rhorho says:

          As a Texan, subjected to shrub long before the rest of the nation had

          • FaileV says:

            I can’t remember, was it under his administration as governor that you had to take the Taks/Taas every year, or was that already in.

            • Enlighten this ignorant and worthless creature please… *blinks*

              • FaileV says:

                The TAAS test Texan Assessment of Academic Skill was a standardized test which you would take every year, covering various topics, math, reading, writing. which test was determined by grade level. It was very annoying, I believe I took it every year since 3rd grade till i left the state. Many teachers would teach to the test (like the do now) in 4th grade i recall a large chunk of the year we were being couched on how to do the writing section and score high. It wasn’t fostering creative thought it was “this is a persuasive paper…this is how you write it.”
                I’m not sure if they got around to enforcing the idea that if you do not pass the TAKS you do not pass highschool, i left before that point. I had the thought of it being Bush’s work, but i was wrong, it was not his deformed creature of suck.
                Oh and the TAKS test was just the new name of the TAAS. same thing new name

                • rhorho says:

                  The TAAS was from 1991–2003, and was replaced by the
                  TAKS in 2003. Governor Shrub was in from 1995–2000.

                  The TAKS [Wiki LINK] test is “No Child Left Behind”
                  compliant, and the scourge of every teacher I’ve met.
                  The Wiki article goes into some of the conflict, but FaileV’s
                  assessment is right on target. Teachers can’t teach
                  anything but topics on the test, and students aren’t
                  encouraged to pursue studies of topics not on the test.
                  As FaileV said, it is a “deformed creature of suck.”

                  “Is our children learning?”

                  Shrub’s puppet (and Lieutenant Governor) Rick Perry, took
                  over when Shrub left in 2000. He presided over this
                  hatchling’s premiere.

      • I have some sympathy for Bush’s inarticulateness; for some reason it’s much easier for me to write than to speak. I “um” a lot when I have to actually verbalize. (Although I rarely make up words!) On the other hand, I’m not likely to run for President, either.

        So, what you’re saying is, anyone who has ever:

        - fallen down
        - choked on food
        - laughed or giggled inappropriately
        - had a deer-in-the-headlights moment

        • Tessie says:

          Nope, what I actually did was to quote a mental health worker who suggested that anybody who made a constant habit of doing all those things may be showing symptoms of mental and/or neurological impairment.

          Now, as to whether or not I, specifically, have mental health issues, that’s a different subject altogether.
