First! Pretty funny.
palsyboy seems to be absent so…
Essential oil of lemon, lime or bitter orange will remove sticky residue of labels on plastics and ceramics.
Cigarette lighter fluid works for removing sticky residue on porous surfaces,
like paper, wood, and unglazed pottery, and dries quickly.
WD-40 (a spray lubricant) is also effective.
You’d have to be careful on plastics, since some are not that happy with the grease (it can pit them)
yesh mmashter
Funny to be sure. Is it just me or does Biden in this picture look a whole lot like the Zombie that first acosts Barbara in Night of the Living Dead?
They’re coming to get your Obama. Look there’s one know. . . . . .
He’s about as smart as a zombie too…maybe the hair plugs sapped his IQ.
Drilled too deep…

Labotomy!!! Labotomy!!!
Who the fk is Igor?
Hmmm…. not a Young Frankenstein fan…
What kind of hole must he live in to not be aware of the Frankenstein story?
It’s been done in just about every medium, from Looney Toons to horror films…seriously…who is Igor? Sad.
Two words. Cultural. Wasteland.
So you mean that because he didn’t watch the same cartoons as you did when he was a kid or because he has no interest in horror films and books he obviously has no culture at all.
Cause of course you cannot have a good culture while still having some things you dont know about right. Obviously knowing about Igor is what make the difference between a scholar and a redneck.
No, it just makes the difference between someone who stayed awake in high school English and someone who didn’t. Frankenstein is pretty standard reading nowadays. Of course, kids these days don’t read books, so maybe he was awake and just stared at the wall the whole time.
I don’t think Igor was in the book. From memory,Victor omits most of the construction, ostensibly to avoid others trying duplicate his work his work… I was most disappointed as a 10 year old when I found that. Latterly, If find the book turgidly unreadable, with Frankenstein himself being a spoiled brat who can’t take resposibility for his actions. For the purist, Hallmark did one of the definitive film adaptations, since most films miss the Polar Prologue and Epilogue, or mangle them…
The only (popular) Frankenstein film I can find with an Igor in the cast is young Frankenstein…. and as we know, to be tired of Mel Brooks is to be tired of life…
“That’s Fronk-en-steeen”
“That’s EYE-gore.”
*mental note*
Don’t fukc with UF…
Back in the day, what I did involved long periods of waiting, puncutated by periods of insane activity… During the long dull bit, I used to read to keep sane… although its effectiveness is open to debate, I’m sure.

Were you a sniper?
A tea kettle?
he was a sleeping policeman.
“Hurry up and wait” comes to mind…
No, no.. Governer of New Hampshire.
Rookie just wanted to feel clever, without putting the work in. A sin in my opinion. Not reading a book isn’t that bad, but not reading a book then acting like you are the high point of culture and knowledge..pah
I rather enjoyed my British literature classes this week. It was the entire class bashing Victor for the the narcissistic, childish, moron that he is.
I felt sorry for Victor…
whatever for? I suppose i may have felt sorry when I first started reading. He did want to push the human race ahead, however. He was a glory hound anddid everything he could to cover up what he was doing so no one would know and only he would have the answer. I can understand that the creature was suddenly something he truely didn’t expect as soon as it got the breathe of life, but he ran away…then didn’t think twice about what this “monster” might do.
Then when the poor girl was on trial for the murder of his brother he knew full well that the creature did it, but chose not to speak up because then people would know what he’d done. Then when he was told “I will be with you on your wedding night” by the creature he assumes it will kill him, and proceeds to be married anyway, telling Elizabeth that he would tell her after the wedding night. So even if the creature did kill him it didn’t even cross his mind how elizabeth would feel. Then when creating the mate for the creature he pisses it off because he’s scared, instead of doing something intelligent like prevent it from being able to procreate, so more can’t come.
Through all this nonsense he never learns his lesson, he tells the guy in the artic to be more than a man and press on, despite the fact it would more than likely kill him. Screw victor, he is static and dumb >:{
And needs to die in a fire for his hubris.
indeed, his death was too good for him and the poor creature paid for the sins of the father and died in a fire :<
Sorry I’m all ranty today, I’ve been spending a lot of time on the romatics lately and Frankenstein was the more interesting bit
Tis quite alright, I do enjoy a bit of righteous indignation. I always hated the planted pity character who was set up to be felt sorry for when they were just a pain.
“Indeed, his death was too good for him and the poor creature paid for the sins of the father and died in a fire ”
Only in the film. In the book, the creature is ‘borne away by the waves[on his raft, with the body of his creator] and lost in darkness and distance’
So we only have the word of the creature he was going to do it…
In a sequel the opening line could have been ‘… but he didn’t die.’
I was under the impression that he was so distressed we travelled to the pole to burn himself so no one could repeat the error of victor, but i wasnt paying much attention in the end part.

No i looked it up, he does say he will kill himself. it doesnt say for sure in the text if he does or not, so yes you can take it either way.
“I shall quit your vessel on the iceraft which brought me thither, and shall seek the most northern extremity of the globe; I shall collect my funeral pile and consume to ashes this miserable frame, that its remains may afford no light to any curious and unhallowed wretch who would create such another as I have been. I shall die.”
oh i read your second post wrong, yes we only have the creature’s word that he will kill himself. I simply take it that he will, no reason for him not to.
Actually, he goes on to become an operative for SHADE, a super-secret government organization run by Father Time.
I felt sorry for him because he was a fool…
So you Pity the Fool?
BWWWAAAABWWAAA!!! Snot !!!! BWWWAAAAA!!
If the link is anything to go by, the bloke who originally asked (sereg@) is German. I’d imagine it’d still be at least mentioned in some high school lit class, though.
Perhaps… but Germany, when you take away Goethe, the Strauses, Beethoven, Nietzsche, Wagner, Gottsched, Remarque et al, is a cultural wasteland….
I stand by my comment
Danbala, the link is german but I’m from Russia
Russia! Feh! Without Tolstoy…
Ah, bad guess from me, sorry!
apparently you were sleeping. Igor isn’t in the book at all. next time you want to act like you’re bad ass for having literary knowledge, check to make sure the movie adaptions were true to the story.
Rookie boy, I have no idea what kind of books the kids read these
days. But when I was a schoolboy I used to read the books
you haven’t heard about.
Joking aside, with your command of English, I can recommend ‘Young Frankenstein’ it is very funny… It’s even funnier if you’ve seen ‘Son of Frankenstein’ but it’s not a pre-req…
YF certainly captures very well the look of the old Universal movies
Four words: No. Sense. Of. Humour.
Oh, come on, the role of Igor is a cultural institution. For all of the 20th century, Mad Scientists in movies had an Igor character. How does anyone schooled in western culture not get the reference?
The one in the James Whale Frankenstein was called Fritz and played by Dwight Frye (iirc)
And of course, the whole RACE of Igors in the Pratchett novels is great.
I always thought Mr. Burns was 1/2 Igor…probably on his mother’s side
lol. those are my favorite…
Then there’s Riff Raff, the Faithful Handyman.
Yep.
“Hmmm… not a Young Frankenstein fan…”

“Werewolf?!”
“There wolf. There castle.”
“Why are you talking like that?”
“I thought you wanted to!”
“Igor, will you help with the bags?”
“Sure. You take the blonde, and I’ll take the one in the turban.”
“Damn your eyes!”
“Too late.”
“Could be worse. Could be raining.”
Ah, I finally found a picture to go with that quote:

“Actually, it’s EYE-gor.”
PS. “What hump?”
“… … … Nevermind.”
I’m not really… I like Golem.
Going back to 1915! I’m impressed… I tend toward later German silents…
Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari, M, and of course Metropolis… In many ways Citizen Kane owed a lot to the German film industry and it’s inventive peak in the early 20th Century.
Did you see they found an extended version of Metropolis…
nearly a complete one they think… but only 16mm. There is also a Chilean contender which may be a 32mm contact but it needs verifying.

OH GOD RUN.
Much of the oh-so-necessary things to know about the Igor referenced to in this lol hides in an Wikipedia article which you can read via the link in my name an inch or so above this text. Have fnu!
Hey! I wanna have fnu too!
What a great Cyndi Lauper tune “Girls just wanna have fnu”!!!
Can you have fnu with a gnu?
Sure, unless you’re a nnu.
But since I’m for gnu regulation, you’d think me no fnu.
I’d like a nnu with a bnu.
I like a good pnu rnu.
and thus, the long, dark, night of Dr. Seuss descended on us all…
Fnu is available to everyone who is ready to embrace it!

Joe Biden
The Democrat’s answer to Dan Quayle
Oh please, not even close. Biden’s got a great record in the senate, Dan Quayle was nothing but fluff. At the very least, I’m pretty sure Biden can spell “potato.”
True, but if we have to deal with humans rather than parody then we’re stuffed…
Obama – smooth but little substance
Hillary – A combination of Lucretia Borgia and Cruella DeVille, just without the redeeming features
Bill Clinton – Sexual Predator who makes Jack the Ripper seem sane
Biden – bumbling
Bush II – The King from Blackadder III
Cheney – Machiavelli meets Francis Urquhart and has an unholy offspring. Something so evil that he causes satellites to fail…
etc…
I’d rather represent each one with a beer.
Obama – Dark and smooth, like a Russian Imperial Stout.
Hillary – Bright, crisp, but very bitter. Pilsner.
Bill – Over the top, very “hoppy”. Hop Devil comes to mind.
Biden – Easy-drinking sessionable brown ale.
Bush II – O’douls.
Cheney – Coors Lite.
It’s not easy to build satire on that… although some here achieve parody without trying…
Hey don’t rain on my parady!
Since when does Biden have a great record? A friend of mine works for a senator and they all think he is an idiot among idiots. The joke among the staffers is if you are bored, listen for Biden to open his yap to see true stupidity pour out. He lies more than both Clintons combined.
He owns several classic Sinatra…
The one that really gets me is how he claims his wife and child were killed by a drunk driver. Turns out the guy wasn’t drunk (he had a massive heart attack behind the wheel) and Biden lied. The guy’s family has had to sue Biden repeatedly to get him to stop…like a revolving door he keeps using that line. Three classmates of mine were killed by a drunk driver back in 1990 and this schmuck lies about it for what? Votes!
“I got elected when I was 29, and I got elected November the 7th. And on December 18 of that year, my wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree. A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly – and I never pursued it – drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly, and killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons, with what were thought to be at the time permanent, fundamental injuries.”
**************
Fact Fail: No lawsuit(s) filed in the matter, by Dunn or his family.
Fact Fail: Joe Biden was told erroneously that drinking was
involved. The reports he heard were later debunked. Joe was
understandably preoccupied by grief over his wife and infant
daughter and concern over his two surviving sons to pursue the
facts of the matter at the time. I think cutting some slack is in
order here. Considering that he nearly gave up his newly-won
Senate seat because (paraphrasing) “We can get another
Senator, but those boys can’t get another father,” I’m prone to
think that Biden’s mind was not fully engaged in political strate-
gizing at the time.
The quote above was from 2001, yet the date is often conveniently omitted, making it seem as though Biden is
perpetuating the lie. Reporters have since claimed that the truck
driver was drunk and at fault in the accident. Their false reporting
is painful for the Dunn family, but shouldn’t be blamed on bad fact
checking, and not on Joe Biden.
*should be blamed on bad fact checking
Most reporters simply quote each other…
I’ve seen that practice with bloggers, as well.
And is Captain America not fact checking? How unusual…
TBH, my fact checking isn’t tallying with Wonderboy’s VP’s version either…
LOL–What *was* I thinking??? I just couldn’t let the crap
stand. Somebody might otherwise take it as fact.
Posting crap like this is as bad as what he’s accusing Joe
Biden of doing.
Ironic, ain’t it?
Inside etition reported that Biden made the claim to University of Iowa students in December 2007.
http://www.insideedition.com/storyprint.aspx?SpecialReportID=2126
Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?
2001? And the accident happened in 1972? Hmm. I can understand why he wouldn’t want to dwell on it, but it seems like if he’s going to bring it up and say that the other driver might have been drinking, it would have been appropriate for him to find out, at some point over that 30 year period, whether or not it was true. Or just not suggest that.
i’ll agree with you on that point dis. if it was not important enough to pursue it after 30yrs then it isn’t important enough to include it in a statement about the incident…
and reference repeatedly, especially as he lived next door to the justice who looked at the evidence for culpability… reading the the texts it sounds like Mrs Biden actually drifted out, since there was no evidence of either bad brakes on her car, drunkenness on the part of the trucker, nor over speed in any vehicle.
In terms of the above, with three kids in the car, it only takes a slip second of inattention… and then it’s a case of ‘there but for the grace of god, go I’ or could go any one of us…
Not wanting to cut slack for a politico… even after 35 years, he could simply be in denial over the whole ‘fault’ thing.
*slip – SPLIT… it’s late, I’ve been drinking… so sue me..
i won’t sue you, but i will request that you pass a drink down the bar…
The bottle is mine tonight
sorry…
Easier to have a White Whale to chase than to accept that fate is a fickle creature without rhyme or reason for some people.
I did a McCain lol based on Moby Dick… [link]
It’s McAhab! Nice one.
I dig it muchly.
@Unc: LOVE IT!! Great match for the photo,
considering he looks like a sailor. Popeye
comes to mind…
me wants to favorite it… do you have the regular link?
Well posted. Thank you.
Hah! Great caption.
Woo, we have PK pictures. (Haven’t popped in in awhile, so that excites me.
)
You know you’ve reading small print too long when I thought your statement read …(haven’t pooped in a while and that excites me.)…time to get the spectacles checked…
I like this caption! I did indeed el oh el.

Missed a step… it’s where Sarah Palin re-enacts the opening of ‘The Thing’ (1982)
She would make a nice “Swamp Thing” too!
Wouldn’t that be kind-of tough? With the swamp frozen solid, and all?
Tundra-Thing…
Abhorable Snow-woman?
I suppose she would have to relocate to become a swamp beast…
Sorry, I’m still a bit out of touch after being stuck in Amarillo for several days.
It all ends disastrously when a reporter’s flash bulb goes off and frightens the palinmonster. She becomes enraged and charges into the tundra where she is hunted by helicopter, sedated with a dart fun, and then captured and chained
by police.
Aaand she’s wearing a Freudian slip under her designer dress.
That would explain the dart fun.
They bring her to New York City with the circus, but she escapes, absconds with Charlie Gibson and climbs to the roof of 30 Rockefeller Center, where she’s finally shot by a SWAT team in helicopters and plummets to the street below.
‘Twas meda-whoring killed the beast.
(or even media-whoring)
Never meda whore I didn’t like …
But she’s miraculously revived by Rush Limbaugh and whisked away…
Not the “undisclosed location” again.
I think it’s somewhere in Alaska…
…under Ted Steven’s house?
In the crawlspace with the rest of the bodies?
But is there a cash prize for bringing in her left foreleg?
Depends on what kind of shoe it’s wearing.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking Pinky?

I think so, Brain, but this time, you put the trousers on the chimp.

But what if the chicken doesn’t want to wear the pantyhose?
Very funny…love it!
Amazing. I did not only lol, I giggled.
Self-evident caption win.
That photograph is a work of art; the person who snapped it deserves knighthood. Damn you, Article I, Section 9!
meh… this joke was funnier in the clinton/algore days….
It has nothing to do with the personality of the persons in the photo, and everything to do with the shot itself. You could put any two people with those facial expressions and stances into this photo and it would be funny!
LOL! Best caption since the one of McCain telling a bush to stop following him.
Is it just me, or has a large chunk of the comments page disappeared entirely?
Biden is the comedy that writes itself – pretty funny.
But what the hell is wrong with Obi-wan’s eyes? He looks like he’s dying.
F*** U, I’m pretty sure you know what the * means. My name is Igor and that is very insulting to me!!!!!
P.S.
NOTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
AF…you’re back?
…still?
For those interested, I finally found a picture of AF and his “Pipes”…[link]
Actually, I’m an almost obsessive Democrat, and I thought this was funny as hell.
In fact, most people (UF included) have been politely discussing (among other things) all the different versions of Frankenstein that liked or didn’t like. Nobody until this comment has said anything particularly scathing about either side – until you popped in.
Blast! The curse was ineffective. It only served to mutate him into the hideous SockFester.
Do we need another “Witches Brew”?!
I think we need to run them all through the laundry a few times. That always seems to get rid of a few of my socks.
Yes.. We need another Witches Brew, stat! I’ll get the Everclear.
I know a woman who lost a pair of knickers in the laundry. She said she left them in the laundry basket in her garage and couldn’t find them later. She then said that she believed the window cleaner (en route to the windows at the back of the house) had stolen them. I said that I wasn’t sure there was a market for stolen pants but I don’t think she was convinced…
She was probably right. And…ew. (Unless, of course, it was a really hot window cleaner.)
Fine weave cotton isn’t a bad scrim for buffing… so I’d blame the cleaner…
Love it!
Diss, I don’t think we have enough bleach for this job…
She’s about 70 or something… I think she just didn’t want to admit that she had a senior moment and lost them….
speaking of hot maintenance type guys… we’re having work done in my office building and RIGHT outside my office door there were these electricians. one of them was hot. unfortunately he was wearing a wedding band… i had to inform 3 other girls of the band when they came in asking if i’d seen the hot electrician. it’s a sad day for single girls stuck in a boring office…
Love the new gravatar, MG!
(Should one of us try to explain this to AC? I think she’d probably prefer not to know.)
Thanks! Took me a while to find something that kind of “fit” for me…you know…the whole “hippie-liberal” thing…
Eye of newt…
Out, damned sock! Out, I say!
I thought socks were “darned”, not “damned”
Nope. Frankensocks are damned.

I like how you changed the name, but not the avatar, as to make it blatantly obvious that you are the same person.
Well done. Very subtle.
do. not. feed.
Crap I think I know this person IRL. This sounds exactly like the stuff my crazy ex-roommate used to say. I will apologize now to everyone for having called 911 when he OD’d.
-.- My apologies?
it’s ok… we all need reminded of that from time to time.
Ohh, “spot the wedding ring!” Best game schoolgirls can play when there’s a new student teacher. Next, it’s “find out the number of kids”…
Gutting about your electrician tho…
my brother is a teacher and i actually went and visited him for a spring break one year. i went into his classes and was helping him out (at the time i was majoring in the same field he was teaching in). while i was there, he and his girlfriend/fiancee decided to just buy bands and start wearing them. they were planning on getting married but wanted to make it more official or something (they actually got married less than 2 weeks later but that’s a different story, as is the birth of my niece only 6 months later). so he shows up to class wearing a wedding band and all of a sudden i had like 30 sixth graders asking me if he’d gotten married the night before. it was kinda crazy. i thought that only us older chicks played “watch for the wedding band”.
MG – your avatar is most excellent!
