just one little push for humanity
One small push for George Bush…One large push for humanity lol
Peace in our time!
The Jonas Brothers could redeem their entire career if they would
just push him over the railing.
Just waiting on pictures of the Jonas Bros. with a bong to surface…
But look at the the picture, mg –
mad toking by that middle Jonas dude …
The news broke on PK!!
Looks to me as if he’s practicing for his next career…playing the skin-flute for crack…
Well in the immortal words of Ledger’s Joker “If you’re good at something, never do it for free”.
So funny but so painful to comprehend…
that would be so amazing i can’t quite express how awesome that would be
It would be best if while pushing them over, he fell too.
yes, that would be a double win…
The triple win would be if there was a properly placed metal fence with those gothic spikes on it…
next to a slide of razor blades and a vat of alcohol.
and the wmds we were looking for
The Jonas Brothers could redeem their entire career if they would

THIS.

ATHENS!
wait…
Lesbos!

Oh, that’s not it, either …
SPARTICUS!
MILTON KEYNES!
Now that’s funny pittypat
Come on, there not THAT bad, they just sing crappy songs, and that’s Disneys fault, not theirs. Cut them some slack, will you?
Nope
Nah, he’s standing as far to the back as possible, waiting for that sniper he planted to make his move.
One shot, three kills.
comment win!
3 birds with 1 stone
4 for 2!
win win win!
One can always dream *sniff*
Killing the Jonas Brothers accomplishes nothing… three more soulless media constructs would be generated to take their place. The only way to really beat them is to not listen to them or buy their records.
And to stop making shitty punditkitchen posts about them…
Nah, ridicule is permissible. It doesn’t provide them with any income, and might prevent the easily-led from spending any more money on them.
Q:Why do The Jonas Brother cry during sex?
A: The Mace.
NICE!
Q:How come there aren’t any Jonas Brothers on Star Trek?
-
A: They don’t work in the future, either.
Q: What do you call three guys who hang out with musicians?
A: The Jonas Brothers
lol, I think you’re thinking Puerto Ricans. btw, I didn’t invent that joke.
The solution is to murder all pop stars. You know, because they deserve to be murdered due to their singing and entertaining people.
Yeah, we should totally kill innocent people because certain other people don’t like them. You’re all a bunch of god damned geniuses.
I’ve never even heard the Jonas Brothers sing or know much about them, but some of you sound like you seriously wish death on these young people.
Fail is fail.
This may be a cruel suggestions but maybe you should listen to them and then see it our way.
Nah.
That’d be like explaining who Heidie Montage or Taylor Swift is. It’s better to live in the unknown.
and you sound like a twit.
.
so.
.
NEXT!
Fail is fail, like you.
If you don’t like jokes, don’t go to joke sites.
No, not really. But it would be a step in the right direction.
And adults who are tired of all the teen “stars” Disney has foisted on us over the years. Tiffany, Britney Spears, Hillary Duff, Jonas Bros, and who’s that redhead that turned lesbian last year…? They just keep doing it to us, and I for one think it must stop!
Okay, I’m not really that interested, but it’s fun to jump on the bandwagon sometimes.
Not if the bandwagon has a crappy P3 (Pre Packaged Pop) band on it! Ugh, I’m gonna put on some Zep to remind myself what real music sounds like.
Although, every generation (teens and preteens) has their own “Jonas Brothers”…You know…The Osmonds, Hanson, DeBarge… That being said, a good shove over the balcony for the good of humanity would definitely be in order…
The difference btwn those other horrible bands and the Jonas Bros is the Disney Machine: they keep manufacturing these “stars” and thrusting them on us. Maybe I’m just a stuck up purist, but to me, if a musician didn’t work their way up from playing in small twenty seat venues all the way to the top, then they didn’t really earn their stardom; they just won the “Corporate Music Lottery” and therefor haven’t earned my respect.
PM, what’s your avatar a picture of?
Cheech Wizard! I’m gonna try to find a better jpg later.
I linked one to you on another LOL. In case you saw it
and didn’t like it, here’s another one.
Vaughn Bode for the win!!!!
.
And the J.Bs. could use a little of the Cheech Wizard magic. Which consists of a good solid kick in the nads.
Agreed. Although, I’ve kind of viewed “American Idol” the same way…most of the acts already have recording contracts in hand during the “competition” phase, then get “Launched” through the TV show…
Agreed. Although, I’ve kind of viewed “American Idol” the same way…most of the acts already have recording contracts in hand during the “competition” phase, then get “Launched” through the TV show…
BTW…I think the “red-headed lesbian” you’re thinking of is Lindsey Lohan…
Yeah, that’s the one! Can’t believe I couldn’t remember, seeing how much I like redheaded girl on girl action
It is a thing of beauty.
I’m trying to think (ouch!). Was there a boardroom assembled
band prior to the Monkees?
In the UK, Marty Wilde and Heinz were both manufactured… the latter more so than Marty (think a proto-Billy Idol with less talent)
I can see the DNA designer tanks and evil lab technicians as we speak…
It’s the Umbrella Corporation.
I knew it!!! O_O
less talent than billy idol? wow. that must be the black hole of talent…
I like Billy Idol.
I like black holes.
Check him out doing “Jingle Bell Rock”! (link)
Except, maybe, in this song… What happened to his face? He looks asian now!
Yeah, Idol rocks!
god, the site of those three idiots makes me feel sick every time i see them.
Suggestion: Stop visiting it.
You should get that checked on. ):
I think you meant “the sight”.
He has to get his eyes checked for far sitedness?
Unless he enjoys being blindsited…
Which would be due to a lack of foresite.
Great point. May I site you?
It’s a punning plan to shoot him!
DWN, don’t listen to this para-site!
Don’t say yes… she has guns!
Wow, how creative…another “The Jonas Brothers Suck” caption.
This is getting tiresome. Time for a new idea, people.
Yeah…. Have you seen the upcoming pages on ROFLRAZZI?
Who’s the one withthe face stapled on?
What? Which Jonas brother? Couldn’t tell you.
Just some guy looking in a mirror… looks like something form a vampire film…
This is the first reference to the Jonas Bros I’ve seen on PK. Did I sleep through a meeting or something?
And it DOES have the political/news slant, given where they are standing and with whom, so …
What? You didn’t get the memo? I thought EVERYONE got the memo! Bet you didn’t get the PK decoder ring, either, did ya?
are you really that big of a fan of the jonas brothers or did you think this was roflrazzi?
Teh kewl, ubr. Nicely done.
gracias mi amiga
De nada. *curtsey*
Am I supposed to know who the fsck these people are?
Google, it seems is both our friend…
…both our friend and enemy?
…both our friend and next door neighbour?
…both our friend and bus driver?
…a friend to both of us?
I wish I was making this up…
Our next door neighbor just bought a French Poodle and named it Google… she calls the damned barking rat “Googie-poo”…I’m thinking of allowing my Bulldog to go across the yard and eat it…
Ooooooohhhh….. Barking rats…. I make a point of meowing just to annoy the beasties….
Yeah…this thing starts barking at about 5:30 am and she sets it outside…I guess to piss off the neighborhood…my dog, Elvis hears it, and he gets agitated…of course, if Elvis eats that damn thing, then it’d TRULY be Googie-poo after it hits his digestive tract.
Don’t Be Cruel …
It would be a Heartbreak (Hotel) if that dog wound up getting eaten…I might wind up doing the “Jailhouse Rock”
Might be tasty.
Love me some tender poodleburgers!
just watch when grilling, they could become a hunka-hunka-burnin-love…
I see there’s no point in asking
are you loathsome tonight …
Assuming they are the latest generation of boy-bands regurgitating crappy pop music and lyrics they haven’t written or composed themselves….I don’t think I’ll waste my time, or google’s bandwidth.
It’s true. I’d love George if he did it.
woohoo! front page for me!
Congrats.
Oh hey I didn’t notice. Great caption, whoop whoop!
Congrats!
*passes celebratory bong to ubr*
i’d like to thank everyone who helped me with this caption:
God for making bush such a dumbass and the jonas brothers such tools. my mom for teaching me how to type as a kid. the great people here on this forum who like vilifying puerile presidents as well as sophomoric singers…
…and the trolls…don’t forget the trolls!!
And Blake. My incarcerated Blake.
Sorry what? The only blake I can think of is William Blake. Was it him you meant?
1:25 in *link*
(If you’re really bored. Otherwise, skip it)
Ah, that Blake….
Now I must cringe.
*cringes*
*uncringes AC*
It’s ok…it’s ok…
You like me! You really, really like me!
*hands in pockets and kicks pebble. dejected* I get no love…
-gives DWM lots o’ love-
Better now?
O_o
Why yes, yes I do… ^_^
it don’t matter anyway, there going to grow up, Disney will dump their asses out like old garbage. they will try to make it on their own, and most likely become drug addicts and failures, well bigger failures.
in fact Miley Cyrus is just about there…
fun fact: Firefox win! it don’t recognize Miley as a word!
“This optimistic outlook minute brought to you by Spectre”
Spectre should have use a miley face
they’ll all misteriously dissappear…or die from drugs supplied by disney in an attempt to keep ‘em young for ever
ok i’ve heard the name, i think i’ve seen pics, but really, can’t you just tell us all who this is so I don’t have to google ‘bush’?
Read the fourth post down….
re-read the question…
LOL!
Be careful…if you google bush, be sure to brush and floss afterward
i think anyone who gets bent out of shape over these guys, or any of the other pop flashes, is really just harboring resentment for all the time and money they or their BF/GF spent drooling over NKOTB, BTM, Spice Girls, ‘NSync or whoever was the draw when they were of that age.
.
i honestly don’t think i’ve ever heard them sing and don’t know anything about them except for having heard their name and seen a few pics. people, they can be ignored!
for someone that has never heard of them you seem to be rather opinionated on the subject.
i think someone got their feelings hurt.
feelings? what are they? are they human emotions? i’ve heard of them but never seen them before…
[link]
I <3 Beaker.
My g/f hates them even more than I do. I can’t stand that they are famous musicians minus the musical talent
I had never heard them (heard of them, of course, working in an elementary building), so I had to go check. Truly horrid. I could only stomach about 45 seconds of the linked video.
*leaves to go clean out ears*
I know your type. You’re one of those people who takes a bite of some-
thing nasty, makes a face, and then asks a friend, “Does this taste
funny to you?”
I’m so transparent!! Dang! First my husband, now my kids…if I ever say “here, taste this” their first response is “Oh no you don’t!”
Well, I’m immune to your treacherous attempts at deceit because
I’ve heard enough bad music to last a lifetime.
Click my link if you daaaare!
Awww…ya got me! That was awful! But you gotta love that hands-on-hips-pouty-face move.
I remember having a teen beat or tiger beat or some such magazine and cutting out his picture and putting it on my best friend’s wall. Not my wall, of course!
LOL!! I didn’t last that long with the video! You truly are
the champion of suffering!
I skipped the teen girl puppy love phase. I decorated my
walls with blue period Picasso prints. Come to think of it,
that may have been a little strange…
I decorated mine with Dali, mixed with some of my own work – I don’t think it’s strange at all
Well, if it turns out to be strange, at least we picked
the right place to hang out…
Actually, it’s near impossible to ignore them when they are the centre, unfortunately, of society. Every person in my class (except for a select few, including me) are always talking about Twilight (AAAAAAGHHHH!!!!!) and the Jonas Brothers (*stabs forks in eyes to stop the agony*) I can’t stand them, but my two best friends are in love with them. One of them sits in the tree in her front yard to see if they walk by. Which doesn’t work, considering we are in CANADA (Wooooo!). She insists she’ll marry Joe. To make fun of him, I call him JoJo. Like a monkey, you know? I think it suits him.
This lol is full of win.
The Jonas Brothers are respectful to their parents, polite to adults, and kind to animals and smaller children. Their exploitation isn’t their fault, and they don’t deserve the hatred here. Had they not been caught up in the Disney hype machine, they would have remained perfectly nice boys, the sort you would want to be your sons’ pals or your daughters’ boyfriends.
i dont really want to be annoying and point out random stuff but when you type “The Jonas Brothers are respectful to their parents, polite to adults, and kind to animals and smaller children” are you trying to explain that JB is not like Michael Jackson? because the way you describe JB in that first sentence makes me think of bad things…
that was uncalled for, wasnt it?
And completely out of left field. And didn’t make sense.
Who are those turds in front of one of the worst presidents of the USA. And who thinks pushing those acne faces in the mud would change anything.
This is a sad excuse for a web page. Get a life stop patronizing stupid s**t
Sorry, did you feel like we were patronizing you? We’ll try to be less condescending if you do your part and grow up.
You can tell that he totaly wants to do it too; he’s got that look in his eye.
Yeah, i value grammar.
…but not spelling, apparently.
The Jonas brothers aren’t that bad….Compared to Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana.
“Another George Bush joke! Oh, look, another Jonas Brothers joke! Since they’re both so worn out, let’s put them together into one!” -_- Seriously, not that I support either, but…just a little tired.
oh look, another person complaining about a george bush or jonas bros joke…
yours is so much better that it made the front page first right? hmm, got link?
Yay! Unlike “IowaSucks” I NEVER get tired of Jonas Brothers jokes!
YES!!! Amen! Now all we have to take care of is the cast of Twilight. Die, vampires, die!!!
Yeah, I didn’t get that movie. It was sh!t. And besides, VAMPIRES DON’T SPARKLE! I kept hoping he’d tear that girl’s, …Bella?…, face off. I was so disappointed. *sighs*
wow havent we seen enough bad jonas brothers pics. mai sister loves them and shes 7. its horirble wat disney does 2 children…brainwashing them wit their crap
i agree wit twilight comment
O.K. So yes, the Jonas Brothers are very media constructed, and very “Disney” oriented. But they are normal kids who can sing and write o.k. songs, so i don’t get what the big deal is. If you want to make fun of someone, make fun of something actually funny.
P.S. Don’t start saying I must be 12-14. I’m not. Deal with it.
No, they’re semi-normal “kids” who can write songs stuffed full of heart feathers, and think can only sing a little well. Put that all together, and you get mobs of preteens, and disasters.
At least they are better than Hannah Montana
Not the jonas bros
OBAMA IS A SHADY LIAR>>>> thats all–
if only he did that….
It would make up 4 every that ever happened in this country, even the rare stuff that wasn’t his fault
I hate this one the jonas brothers are hot
He doesn’t even need to push all of them. Just one will destroy them!
Ilovethejonasbrothers.
I wish people would quit bombing them. After all, Justin Bieber and David Artuleta need some more bomb-love.
I don’t understand why folk would spend so much money for a fortnight or so of going to see the same show with same bands and the same songs over and over again…..
And probably the same jokes over and over. It might possibly be worth seeing more than one concert on a tour if the band had a deep play list, and also was really good at jamming. Maybe. If the tickets weren’t too expensive.
And in the case of these guys…I wonder if they “lip-sync’d”…
Don’t try to understand. You have a lovely brain and I don’t want to see it damaged by trying to fathom stupidity and fandom.
Is is jism me, oral your jokes hilarious today?
D’oh! Another damn visual image it’s going to take brain bleach to get rid of, Thanks ubr!
My friend followed a band round on their UK tour but it was just weird because when the band were going “Hello Wales!” she couldn’t get very excited about it like she would at home…
“Girlfriends” plural?
and nope. not really jealous. if i had the body of a 12yo and pubes attached to my scalp i probably wouldn’t go out in public, let alone try to be a music ‘star’
Possibly giving them too much credit.
lol.
thanks iowa, but i thought it was a good line after the lip sync one. sorry if i hit a sensitive spot…
wait a second…
.
did you honestly just complain about me using a ‘gay’ (your definition here) term as a pejorative description of someone i don’t like and then use the same term against me in a pejorative way right after?
.
hypocrisy double fail.
i just get tired of people making the cheap and easy gay-is-bad jokes.
i certainly hope that you weren’t implying that all bj’s were bad!
no, i used hypocritical and closeted as a pejorative.
if you’re gay ubr, come out and be happy
if you’re not that’s cool too, just don’t use it as a put down
BS
if you, or i or most other people at that age (are they teens???), were offered the potential of making millions of $ for acting like a fool on stage, you’d take it. if you or i were surrounded by people telling us nothing but how good we were, we’d do it. I have no idea what kind of music they perform, but if it’s the kind of music they like, they’re not selling out, so there’s no integrity issue here.
.
I’m sorry, no matter how good or horrible they are, if they’re making tons of money it’s because people are giving it to them to do what they do. at that age, we’d probably have done the same.
sorry iowa, but you don’t make any sense here.
you say that i cannot make fun of gay people, but then you insinuate that i’m gay.
.
so… your point was what again?
thanks for calling my opinion bs, but i’m the only one who can judge whether or not my opinion is in fact bs. have fun with your argument.
People also give money to informercial scams. They are still informercial scams. Being paid doesn’t equate to talent.
ahh, got it, i understand the confusion.
i was intentionally doing to you what you did to them.
i was making a point – obviously not very clearly
ahh the old double standard trick… my joke was better…
i never claimed they were talented. i have no idea who they are.
i’m just making the point that a teen isn’t going to turn down the possibility of fame and fortune very easily, no matter what they claim later in life.
you’re quite welcome. any time.
“i’m the only one who can judge whether or not my
opinion is in fact bs”
Does that mean that I’m supposed to go out with that
guy who claimed to be an entrepreneur, despite the
fact that he didn’t know that a Business Plan is a
document?
Your statement makes no sense to me. If two people
hold opposite opinions, and neither of them considers
his opinion to be BS, then what?
huh i never thought of it as a gay pejorative before…I always assumed, whether it was male or female that they are just cheap whores (not all BJs are bad, but one assumes in these situations they aren’t in a close relationship iwth the person)
I think they’re a lot of fun!
Which raises the question of why when we say something sucks, it’s a bod thing.
Reason number 2 to like you more…
:headdesk:
BAD thing. I has a headache.
it sucks
it blows
f%$# you
f%#$ me
screw you
.
yup, don’t sound bad to me either
And this is supposed to stop us for hating them for being part of a machine that tries to manufacture music when music is an expression…
i think we’re having different conversations here.
.
i don’t care if you hate them, their fame, their music whatever. i was just calling bs on somethin ubr said.
Actually I hate how they got their fame and that was ubr’s point. A point you apparently missed while telling us how we would all sell out.
first, not trying to argue with you here, but where in this thread did ubr make that point? if he did, you’re right, i did miss it so please point it out to all of us.
.
second, when i said
i think that’s the basic concept i was addressing, but if you missed that, that’s ok.
Ya, we caught that part and it has been explained a ridiculous number of times so that excuse has worn thin. So by all means, keep claiming ignorance in the face of a ton of people on this thread explaining the issue with them. Though I suggest fingers in the eyes instead of the ears since it is a written format if you wish to continue to ignore it.
@DWN – anyone ever tell you that you have serious anger issues? i’m guessing yes, and often.
I don’t know what you think has been ‘explained a ridiculous number of times’, but that’s fine, we’ll just go with that. have a day.
.
@ubr – you’re right. if that’s what was meant by that, it went completely over my head. i think i would have picked up on the dirty knees, or the ‘couch’ types of references, but this one – i saw one thing and one thing only.
.
i apologize for the misunderstanding.
@Iowa: Actually no, I am usually pretty mellow. It is when I have to explain the same thing over and over that I tend to get snippy with people.
i dun think that iowa has been here that long…
.
in all honesty, DWN was the first person to actually be nice to me on this forum. he usually interjects really nasty arguments with hilarious lines. iof you think he has anger issues wait till you see what the rest of us look like…
I am but a gentle flower of humanity covered in thorns dripping with the blood of those who invoked my seething hatred…
*cough* I mean I am a gentle flower of humanity…
@dwn
please go back to where you joined this part of the conversation [link] and read from there and maybe then you can understand why i don’t know why you said you’d explained something over and over. i see no such explanation.
.
I actually just took a couple of minutes and went though this entire page of comments, and i’m sorry, but i don’t see where you explained anything about why you hate them. if i missed it, i’m sorry, but i don’t see it. so you know, please forgive me, but i honestly don’t know what you were upset about.
i can and will let it drop, i’m just really curious.
@ubr
actually i’ve been around longer than you might think, but that’s ok too.
i’m just trying to figure out where his anger came from, that’s all
.
you said in a different thread
.
ah, no, not quite. what i called bs was this
.
assume you’re into rock, jazz, whatever, and you’re 12, and you’ve got people convincing you you’re a good musician/performer. you’re told you can have a record deal, millions of dollars and girls screaming for you ’cause of what you can do onstage. that’s what i called bs.
.
if they’re performing crap-rock and they like it, it’s not really a sell-out and more than if you were performing jazz and you liked it, even if most of the world thought you sucked.
now i’m starting to agree with dwn. you keep repeating the same crap over and over again… did you study with michael moore or something?
.
notice how i said “if i had the body of a 12yo i wouldn’t”… you called bs on the fact that I would do something or not. you don’t know me therefore your judgment is invalid.
and i’m not really sure what you meant by the whole sell out point, but it has nothing to do with what i was saying… so…
.
NEXT!
Upset? When was I upset? Now I am just confused. As for explanation, I am going to drop it. If you read the entire thread of posts from everybody here and can’t infer why we don’t like them, I lack anything to add. I could have sworn I made mention that they are manufactured pop stars from a marketing machine and I could have also sworn that others mentioned similar parts.
Either way, consider it dropped. No worries.
@IowaSucks: re: your statement about being around longer than people think……no sh!t, Sherlock.

*clams back up*
*joins froo in clamming up*
*invites some scallops over for tea*
since you didn’t say oysters, should i not be expecting any pearls of wisdom?
No wisdom here. Just clamming along,
watching the fishy fish.
i wonder where the fish did go…
@Froofrou: Big tangent here. Just checked the Insurance LOL from a while back. The avatar system was… Enlightening, very enlightening.
I have fishy stickers in my tub [LINK]
Lollipop hangover?
*offers diss a cool damp washcloth*
Thanks, rho!
I think it’s just work stress. I need to remember that I shouldn’t be stressed, I should just be happy to be working in this economy.
Work is stressful, regardless of how lucky we
should feel to have it. By definition, “work”
is, well, “not fun.” I would recommend
cranking your favorite tunes on the commute
home, but, with your headache, that’s maybe
not such a good idea. Can you get to a bath
tub after work? I like to use those girly
bath sets women give each other. There’s
very little in my world (besides sunburn)
that a soaking bath doesn’t help.
Thanks! The advil is kicking in, finally…
advil? can you please share?
Then it’s horsesh!t?
your opinion is just that, your opinion. it’s when you represent it as fact that you have problems.
notice my statement that iowasucks was referring to went “if i was them” not “anyone with a 12yo body…”
.
and i’m not sure how my opinion relates to the moron that you dated…
I don’t think someone saying that they wouldn’t do something counts as “opinion,” per se. So, semantics fail? *shrug*
semantics fail? possibly…
but there were a lot of ifs in my statement so i wasn’t really sure what else to call it besides my opinion… more of a hypothetical statement of my beliefs… is that an opinion? quick, someone grab a dictionary…
You either would do something, or you would not. It’s not your “opinion” that you would do something, versus someone else’s “opinion” that you would. They might not believe you, but it’s a more factual type substance than what opinions are made of.
You know what they say; they’re like @ssholes, everybody’s got one. Also: opinion: (n) A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof.
but the whole scenario is a hypothetical situation therefor
it can’t really be fact. i do not have the body of 12yo and don’t have pubes attached to my scalp… i’m making a statement of what i think i would do… therefore, it’s my opinion.
There are a thousand holes in my argument, but I don’t know how to exxplain what I’m trying to say.
*kills extra X*
@Aed: On the other hand, with a hypothetical like that, I think it accurately is your opinion of what you’d do, because you aren’t actually faced with the situation. In other words, it’s ubr’s opinion that, were he a talentless prepubesent male who was offered a lot of money to “dance” and lipsync, he’d be unlikely to accept; on the other hand, it’s Iowa’s opinion that if it were enough money, he’d fold. Since we can’t time-travel and don’t have enough money anyway, there’s really no way to test either opinion.
On the other hand, I could possibly offer both of them $10 to dance in front of their computer and lipsync to an N’Sync song or something, but they’d be on the honor system as to whether or not they did it.
i need to see the money first.
I’m going to start off by saying that I completely understand what you’re saying and our opinion of opinion is different… sort of.
I’d say whether or not something would have occurred is less opinion than fact because it would be falsifiable by time-travel. Whether or not it’s possible to do so is beside the point; it’s still falsifiable.
“Chicken is gross” is an opinion. If/then statements, IMO, are not.
Of course we could get into string theory but let’s not
*steps in, flashes agent credentials, takes
money*
@Aed: Would it make more sense to say it’s his best guess as to what he’d do under the circumstances?
@ubr: *holds up $10 bill* Of course, if you were to do the whole “old Time Rock and Roll” number from Risky Business, I’d double it. But you have to do it in the button-up shirt and underwear.
…and socks. He can’t slide without the socks.
*flashes agent credentials; grabs $10 bill*
Yes – that’s what I’m saying.
Best guess of a situational outcome != opinion.
but just strictly sticking to the comment from iowa, we have a differing viewpoint on what “I” would actually do in the given scenario. so… if i was presented with the option to be the jonas brothers i would say no… he then proceeded to say that my response was bs… so… either way… his interpretation of what i would do is complete malarkey.
.
but i do take your point on the if/then statement…
@dis – can i take a bong rip first so i can get into the phelps state of mind?
@ ubr: I have no problem with that.
I didn’t date him, because I considered his
opinion of himself to be BS. If I believe that I
had been unable to judge BS upon hearing it,
my fate would have been dire.
I used the example of the guy to illustrate the
flaw in your statement, “i’m the only one who
can judge whether or not my opinion is in fact
bs.” It still sounds pretty screwy.
If I say, “ubr is a teapot in my opinion,” my
opinion is BS, regardless of whether I think it
is. If I get called, and then say, “I’m the only
one who can judge my own opinion,” laughter
would certainly follow.
See what I’m getting at?
What’s an opinion if you’re the only one who can decide whether or not it’s BS?
You can tell me cheese is gross, and I can think that’s BS if I like cheese, but I can’t tell you that your personal opinion is incorrect, because it’s not a matter of fact.
So, does “BS” imply disagreement, or incorrectness? Two differnt things…
*had believed
Reminds me of the kid who told me recently that he was a “commodities trader”…turned out, when pressed for an explanation, that he meant that he was selling scrap metal from houses he was renovating. And no, he was NOT joking. Just clueless.
@rho – i do see your point, but calling BS on whether or not you would run into a burning house to save someone when i don’t know doesn’t
make any more sense. i should’ve probably prefaced my statement as “thank you for calling my opinion of what i would do in this hypothetical situation is bs.” since i’m the one who makes the decisions on what i do your opinion of what i would do has no importance… qed, calling bs on it is bs. haha
Yes… and the best part is, if he says your calling his BS call BS is BS, it doesn’t really matter, because at that point it’s lost all validity anyway…
third line should’ve read:
to same someone when i don’t know you doesn’t
wow. i need coffee… ARGH.
same=save
Cute! I’m hearing the theme from “Sanford
and Son” in my head, for no reason…
Oops! Above was @Diss.
@rho: Thanks for clarifying!
Aaaand, now I do, too.
@ubr: I’m glad you weren’t making a blanket
statement there. I *really* don’t want to
go out with the entrepreneur dude!
@rho: Want me to fix you up with the commodities trader?
@rho – sorry for insinuating that you dated a moron… i read your post too quickly and figured that was something you picked up on the first date…
@rho & diss – have you thought about dating financial analysts?
@Diss: Sorry about that. If you like, “Coin
Operated Boy” by the Dresden Dolls makes
a nice replacement earworm. [LINK]
@ubr: NP on the read-too-quickly deal.
Also, thanks for asking, but I don’t date
teapots…
rofl. i deserved that…
@rho: Thanks!
@ubr: If I didn’t already have a guy, I wouldn’t rule out financial analysts.
Leaving me out, eh? Thanks
@aedriel – haha… didn’t know you were on the market…
It’s ok, I might as well not be – I have completely impossible standards afte what I’ve been through where men are concerned.
you sound like my brother… he’ll only date women with doctorates and IQs over 160…
I found that once I stop caring if I was on the market, opportunity jumped me, mugged me, and brought me a great relationship.
If it helps any, after seeing Aedriel’s picture and her comments on here, definitely would be worth ubr’s time to see if he can meet the standards. I’ll help him cheat on the essay exam but he is on his own for the swimsuit competition…
@Diss: YW, and I’m sorry, but I missed your
offer to set me up with your commodities
trader. I’m a bit too far of a commute for
him, so there’s another one off the hook.
Alas!
@rho: Trust me, you’re making the right decision! (A cutie, but very young and I think more than a little unstable). Also, as I noted, he means that he sells scrap metal.
LOL… thanks, DWN.
To be honest, though, I haven’t cared about relationships since my last one which ended a year and a half ago, and haven’t even seen the potential for one lurking anywhere. I’m thinking once I get farther along in my studies and all the morons get weeded out I might find someone worthwhile.
Addendum: I realize you already said you weren’t looking for a relationship. I blame my fail brain. Reword my above to state “Stay the course of not looking for one.”
You’ll be dating pushers, pimps and
drummers from rock bands next…
@Aed: Seconding what DWN said. Strange, but true.
actually I have that arse about face… you must have already dated those to be getting that far down the food chain… Real Estate agents and accountants are down the food chain from financial ‘services’
As I said, I don’t worry… I’m actually quote content being single right now. I can focus on my own life, which I haven’t done in 5ish years. I’m glad to have the peace…
@Diss: I don’t find it strange that she is f*ckable… O_o
*quite
you’re comparing me to realturds and certified pain in the asses? c’mon… basically i run a pricing desk and deal with numbers instead of customers…
@dwn: Bite me, dear, you know what I meant!
my previous rant was directed at fester…
@Aedrial: Covered that in my addendum, love.
@Diss: Bite you? Where?
Fester – I’m going to take that as inoffensively as possible. So what would you recommend? What occupation are all the non-assholes in?
DWN – it was a refresh fail
@aed – whatever field fester is in is a definite no go…
@aed: I’d stay away from lawyers. I can only think of a very few that I’d be willing to socialize with outside work. (Might just be me, though)
non-asshole… QED…
that was @ubr, btw
haha, i got it…
.
my advice is pretty much in sync with DWNs… I’ve been single off and on for the past couple years and it’s nice to have a your own life… but when the right person does come along, don’t let them slip past just because they are not 100% what you’re looking for… based on previous experience what you think you want and what you really want are two different things… at least that’s how it has worked for me…
Ya, I pretty much had Lynn chase after me once I had given up on everything. I was a couple months into planning my disappearance and death when she swooped in after me.
I wonder if that’s it, then. Now I’m all curious… *starts planning disappearance and death*
I wouldn’t suggest it. There is a steep cost of following through if you get no bites.
Good point. There is perhaps a misunder-
standing as to what BS means.
In my world, if a guy says that, in his opinion,
all turtles should be killed, I can’t argue that
he doesn’t believe so, but I can call BS on
the validity of his statement. He can still hold
his opinion, but he is not the only person who
is allowed to decide whether it passes the
smell test.
Aah. I would think BS is only another word for lying. But I’m forn. ;p
me whole point was that iowa does not know me therefore calling bs on whether or not i would do something is pretty ridiculous… he has no basis to make a judgment on the situation.
There was a bit of a phrasing issue there. If
you had said, “I’m the only person who can
determine whether I would have done X”
then it wouldn’t have seemed like a state-
ment made for all opinions in general.
I still think you should go for the lip sync
career. After my fees, you’ve already made
$2, and you haven’t sung a note…
