Okay. I’m going to rescue this comment before any firstirs come along. Also: Yay for rockets ^_^
thank you..I freakin hate the firstirs. THEY are the morons…
You’re very welcome. When I saw ‘No comments’ I thought “I shall not let the firsters win!”
Meg-Meg, when you c*ck block the fist(r)ing trolls, it’s probably not a good idea to say any variation of “first”
Don’t worry though, I didn’t think about it like that my first block either.
Better a fist than a 2 liter bottle, I always say…
What kind of pron are you watching?????!!!!
(And can you link me?)
Clown Car Parking Garages III.
Holy hell!
Well, what is the actual point of them then?
it doesn’t matter!!! It just wasn’t for show alright
It was for show. It was to show the Russians we were smarter then them.
I Loled
There has been no reason to use the blasted things in years! we had to be sure they still work after all this time. And also, they’re fun to watch when they hit things…
wez filling them with hostess fruit snacks and shooting them into space, to delay the incomeing space invasion with the real fruit filling and flanky crust
i thought the comment was referring to people who think the moon landing was faked. maybe i was wrong, but that’s what came to mind.
Forgive me for digging up an old comment, but yes, these were the rockets used for the moon landing. The Saturn V is a mammoth, costing hundreds of billions, and yet people think we just fired them off like bottle rockets and taped the moon landings on some set.
truf
so what where they fired off for? Science?
Um, yes? Space exploration, astronomy, setting up satellites, that sort of thing…
Biology and chemistry experiments, too.
And memory foam posturpedic beds
Those, alone, make it all worth it.
Mmmm memory foam.
Memory foam mattresses suck. You just can’t get into a good rhythm on those things, you don’t get that nice rebound action you do with springs…
I’ve never had that problem
There is MUCH truf in this statement.
MUCH. *goes to nap*
Don’t forget the Velcro and Teflon!
And Tang.
Everyone loves Tang.
I thought no one loved Tang?
Depends what ‘tang you’re talking about…
And/or to see if they still work…
Not like we’ve used them in a few decades after all.
didn’t you just write this a few comment ago?
And economic stimulation.
Geopolitics, science, and adventure. More or less in that order.
The shuttle program has generated over 100 technology spinoffs that we use in everyday life.
Things like infrared cameras, insulation for homes and vehicles, prosthetics, environmentally friendly lubricants and cleaners, and video stabilization software. Many of which may never have been created without the shuttle program.
Oh yeah? Well, where’s my flying car? Huh? WHERE’S MY FLYING CAR, MOTHER FVCKER!!!!!
there was a graph jam on this. just another twenty years according to it
Yay for lube!!!
Wait, what?
Dont forget velcro and making Tang popular
)
Does anyone else remember those nasty-tasting ‘space snacks’?
I do…I remember freeze dried ice cream lol
Is that like ice beer?
I do. And I am ashamed to admit it, but I liked them.
I have to confess that I liked them back then…but when I think about it now, it was the ‘cool’ factor, not the taste!
waz space taste like? iz crunchy?
-1 internet for using LOLcat speak.
No crunch to the space snack. It was some sort of processed fake peanut butter-ish semi-solid.
It tastes like the final frontier, with a creamy nougat center.
Space Food Sticks? Tasty fail.
I knew someone who worked on those with NASA, said as bad as they were, what they actually took to space tasted much worse.
Link — these?
What was in those things, or do I really NOT want to know?
Soylent green.
Mmmm Soylent Green *drool*
BUT ITS PEOPLE!!!!
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!!
TASTEY TASTEY PEOPLE!!!!
Soylent grun ist menschen fleisch!
(Sorry for the lack of the umlauts)
aber erinner ä=ae
Tang is the sh!t…
Tang was just on Nostalgic Win a few weeks ago…
Also, the ’60s space program brought us ball point pens and computers smaller than a house!
Actually, ballpoints were first patented in the 19th Century. The idea of them was revolutionised by a guy called Ladislas Biro, a Hungarian, in the 1930s.
The space missions developed a specific type of biro that can write upside down, at angles, and underwater. But the ballpojt pen was about a long time before we started going to space.
And some people simply used pencils…
Soviet Union were all for simple
Without them, we wouldn’t have satellites (including GPS), mobile phones, etc.
oh em gee. this is so funny. yes, i agree this should be front page. oh, i just about lost my breakfast from laughing so hard. oh, coffee out of my nose. oh, so funny.
No, what’s funny is that you typed out the letters omg phonetically. Using the exact number of letters it takes to type out the actual words oh my god. Oh. My. God.
A guy was talking to me the other day, and actually SAID “omg”. I walked away from him in the middle of the conversation. We’re going to hell in a hand-basket. IN A HAND-BASKET PEOPLE! *has a breakdown*
There, there Ivan. It’ll be alright. *pats Ivan on the back*
Hell *whimper* Hand-basket
*offers cookies*
-basks naked in the hand basket-
*giggles and tickles her troll*
eeep bad touch bad touch!
*giggles more*
Cookies make it a little better *whimper*
Oh em gee Cookies eff tee double-u!!
“We’re going to hell in a hand-basket. IN A HAND-BASKET PEOPLE!”
`
Yeah! Damn kids with their space food sticks and their Twatter innertoobs!
[shakes cane menacingly]
You said twatter.
*rofl* That was actually funny. But yes, we are indeed going to Heck in a Hay-cart.
You know, when I was young, I wore an onion on my belt because it was the style at the time…
(wanders off)
“You know, when I was young, I wore an onion on my belt because it was the style at the time…”
`
Funny story that goes with that… Well, it’s not actually funny so much as it is long.
I’ve been to hell and all I can say is ‘meh’.. I’ve seen worse.
I got kicked out for selling ice water. Then went to the Dam Site Inn for pizza and beer.
hell much smaller then bitter troll expected, but dam site in has good pizza
Maybe they don’t believe in God, and aren’t conformist freaks like some?
If by conformist freaks you mean average intelligent people, then sure. Speaking “Oh em gee” is retarded in any case.
See, I almost don’t mind people saying ‘o-m-g’… but I heard somebody say ‘omg’ (all one sound) he other day. *shudder*
I don’t get it… is this referencing something I should know about?
I believe it’s in response to the conspiracy theorists who don’t believe that the moon landing actually happened.
Insulting idiotic conspiracy theorists? Check.
LOL worthy? Not really.
Who the hell voted for this thing anyways? There were a lot more interesting LOLs when I viewed the voting pages…
I voted it down when I saw it. *sigh* People shouldn’t vote on whether or not they agree with the LoL but on whether or not it’s funny.
Exactly. “Pundit Kitchen” should be for political LOLs. Make a. . . um. . . I dunno. . . “Political Fast Food website” for political AGREEs or something. I was looking forward to some extreme funny today.
I was too.
Where has the funny gone?
PK had to cut back, due to a comedic recession?
You mean the Trillion Dollar stimulus package didn’t work ?
Well, since there’s been a two-day conversation in the cubicle next to me about how there’s no way we went to the moon, I laughed my ass off at this one.
Comedy needs context to thrive, I guess.
*peeks over cubicle wall at Confoozled*
Didn’t you know that it was all staged at CBS?! Just wait till they get into the “Obama’s not even an American Citizen because he has no legitimate birth certificate” argument…
Don’t bring that up MG.
I swear next person that says that to me IRL I’m gonna punch right in the face.
{Link}
a little angry…. just cool that on down there, I think it was one of those joke things that happen on this site sometimes
They’ll have to finish up the colloquium on global warming first.
Mmmmm, this smells like MegaSock to me…
Darn It!! (hoping Pitty-Pat will approve of the pun)
And here I was thinking that you argyle-less …
Tube fair, I only have suspicions at this point. I wool not accuse without more proof.
Don’t ragg on me!
If you’re on the ragg you can at least have phone socks.
Anklet it go that my washer keeps eating my socks too!
I think we’ve been hosed.
These puns are tights, dawg!
Don’t compliment her too much; she’ll just start fishnet for compliments.
You mean the one that less than 1/4th of the money has been spent?
I went to my comedic surgeon Dr. PK for a mood lift and a face palm and all I got was droopy jowls
Long time passing…
Oh when will theeeeeyyyyyy, ever LOL.
True, true.
Vote based on whether it makes you LOL. Otherwise, it’s not a LOL, is it?
Or to people who think it was just some politics driven competition with the U.S.S.R. , not a potentially highly profitable investment in the future of the human race.
Or possibly another thread on here someplace (or was it Livejournal??) about how the space program was only there to get America to go AMERICA F*CK YEAH behind the effort to beat Russia to the moon. ‘Course they gave up about halfway thorough and I don’t think they ever actually did go, but nevermindthatnow…
“don’t think they ever actually did go.”
Fail. Just fail.
How people can look at the evidence and hours of video that is fully accepted by the scientific community and just say we didn’t go makes my brain hurt. Sorry, but we did indeed go. There has been man on the moon. None of the conspiracy nuts have a solid argument.
while i don’t disbelieve that we’ve been to the moon, that has nothing to do with ‘…fully accepted by the scientific community.’ the ‘scientific community’ is on the take from and under the thumb ov government twats more than almost anyone else.
There’s strong arguments on both sides I believe. Quite a lot of the footage has small problems with it, such as crosses etched on to the front of the camera lense being blocked by the person in the image… but you have to think about it in context. Beating the Russians “to the moon” was more important than anything else. Just because someone has a different opinion doesn’t mean they fail. You fail for being unable to take someone else’s point of view.
…and that’s why you should carry lipbalm with you AT ALL TIMES.
Did I miss the news or something? When were 12 rockets launched?
Probably before you were born
Apparently you missed elementary school too, or they no longer teach American History.
Actually, we launched 13. This is a Saturn V rocket. It was used for Apollo 4, Apollo 6, and Apollo 8-17 as well as Skylab 1.
Apollo 18, 19, 20 were scheduled go to the moon using the Saturn V but those missions were cancelled.
Sorry, I forgot Skylab. My bad.
Thats ok, there were 12 launched for the Apollo program. I knew what you meant
The fact that we can launch a rocket from a spinning planet 240,000 miles and drop it onto another spinning celestial body, within 500 feet of a probe we sent up years earlier is purely bad-ass.
Kim Jong-il should be concerened, as close range as he is in comparison, we could probably land a nuke on the end of his nose, give or take a few centimeters.
Point of order, Steve: If we dont’ have the nukes with which to aim at Kim’s pointy nose, how will we then land one on it? And, absent the prez with the itchy trigger finger, how shall we ever convince him that we not only CAN, but WILL?
Don’t worry, last I heard were were reducing our nuclear arsenal to around 1,500 active warheads. I think that should still be enough to do some damage, he’s not a very tall man.
You’re ignoring the “non-itchy trigger finger” that will make him think we will actually use it.
Crap, incomplete thought, sorry.
-
“You’re ignoring the “non-itchy trigger finger” that will make him think we will actually use it, because you can have all the nukes and guns in the world, and you will still get shot and killed if you’re not willing to use them.” There, fixed that for me
Unfortunately the only way to prove we would use them now is to actually let a couple off the chain.
I don’t think any country in recent history has done anything to warrant the use of such a weapon. Even in North Korea attacked us, the citizens have nothing to do with it, and they would be the ones who would pay the price if we dropped a nuke.
I always liked what Sam Kinison said: If the Russians wnat to prove how great they are, tell them to bring back our flag!!!!!
I think by explorer law we own the moon. You know, if you stick your flag in something, it’s yours. We lucked out, this time there were no native people we had to infect with small pox blankets.
I wouldn’t have thought a woman would endorse any theory that says if you stick something of yours in a place, you own it…
I believe that’s how Max and I got (PK) married.
O.o
Dear, save it for when I have the scrapbook completed!
Sorry dear!
-Winks and nudges-
Well, that’s usually my rule. Now where are my concubines?!
comcubines? those lil rodents with spikes on their backs?
-Hugs Eric and considers a mercy killing-
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. I am sure there will be some group that objects to the way we treated moon rocks and the sort.
It would not surprise me either if there was already legislation trying to make the entire moon a national park.
Wouldn’t want to do ranger at that park–imagine the stupid was that the tourists could get into trouble there?!?!!
“imagine the stupid was that the tourists could get into trouble there?!?!!”
But the added benefit is they wouldn’t be in trouble for long.
Popplers.
I can’t remember where it was, but there was some astrologist kook who went on this big rant about how we didn’t ask the Moon’s permission before we landed on it/crashed probes into it/took rocks/wtfever…
we asked moon permission we did. looked up and said, moon may we send some dudes in tin can and land on you, and he was like totally dude, just cause crazy asstrologer no there dont mean it didnt happen.
I communicate with the Moon on a regular basis with a complicated system of ass-exposures. As it turns out, the Moon doesn’t like sweet pickles. Who knew?
“I communicate with the Moon on a regular basis with a complicated system of ass-exposures. ”
`
In other words, you moon the Moon? Meta-humor FTW!
The Legal Rights for Lunar Rocks Association?
do you mean to imply that those who object to the way native americans were and are being treated are simply ‘some group’? if that’s the case, i wish the laws ov physics would go away long enough for me to slap you through the computer.
if you watch eddie izzard he says that’s exactly how you stake your claim on things.
-plants a flag in PK forums- mine
*plants flag in bitter trol* MINE.
troll. Crap.
where you planting that dat flag?
Where would you like it?
-points- over yonder…away from the bitter troll
Sorry sweet sweet bitter troll. You’re mine. *plants flag in bitter troll’s foot*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
why you not use tempory tattoo or something..
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Because this is forever my bitter troll.
Explorer law isn’t in effect anymore, no countries are allowed to “own” any space bodies (or Antarctica, for that matter). Just to clarify.
Best game of capture-the-flag ever!!!
flag dropped, flag taken, flag dropped, flag taken, flag dropped, flag taken, flag dropped, flag taken, flag dropped, flag taken
Me: I’m gonna kill that russian
Sounds like me trying to play CTF on Halo 3.
i’m so glad somebody got that
Clearly you need a girlfriend.
you know what they say about assuming
Clearly.
Hey, I’m MARRIED and I play Halo, thank you.
WoW in-game marriages don’t count…
I’m married with 2 kids, and have never played WoW, you dick.
I’m sorry…you don’t just “play” WoW…you LIVE IT!
Dhoti I don’t wouldn’t usually use this kind of language but… you’re being a dick for no reason.
WTF crawled up your ass this morning? What a butt pirate.
You’re incoherently angry over THAT? Seriously?
Is your ego really that big, or have you just been sniffing glue again?
Incoherent? I’m being very coherent. You. are. a. butt. pirate. How much clearer can I make it?
I didn’t say anything to you, so leave me the fvck alone. I don’t know why you just randomly decided to annoy me today. Methinks someone needs to get laid.
Like I said, I’m enlightened to the fact that you’re an anal douche. But I’m not wasting any more of my time on you. Come back later when I have more time.
No time to make weirdly homophobic projections? Olbermann must be on!
Dhoti, dude, take it easy, some Liberals don’t like Olberman *Points to her mother*. My mom wants to light him on fire. She’s strange…
I had a boyfriend that played WoW, it lasted a month, I couldn’t stand it anymore.
You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
*ahem* from Mr. Frank Zappa
american football? If thats so than there are A LOT of people who don’t live in a “real” country
No, he said football, which we should all know that outside of the U.S. means SOCCER!! But, the real qualifier here is the beer. No Beer, No Country.
So if I brew my own brand of beer in the basement using a 5 gallon water jug and a condom, and kick a soccer ball around in my back yard, can I start Petopia and strike my own money?
Hell yeah, and I’ll move there too!
I think it would be better if you brewed it in your bathtub, considering all of the PKers who would immigrate!
Ok, so I don’t need the condom then. That’s good. I don’t have any anyway, hehe.
Would be kind of like barring the barn door after the horse is gone after all!
That too, lol. I wish I’d had some before, I wouldn’t be in the state I’m in now.
Texas?
Condoms prevent Texas? Shit… I’ve been doing it all wrong.
If only that were true! Froo, when will we get proper rain!? WHEN??
“I think it would be better if you brewed it in your bathtub, considering all of the PKers who would immigrate!”
`
Also considering that beer brewed in a condom has that nasty rubber aftertaste… er-uh… so I’ve heard.
You use the condom for an air exclusion lock. You can also use a rubber balloon with a small slit cut in it. Keeps the air out of the neck but allows CO2 to escape so you have less chance of the beer or wine becoming vinegar.
Back when I flew, I could have had my own beer and my own airline. I totally should have started a country.
Ahem. That’s Petoria.
-
-
make room for me
I know. That’s why I had to specify cause most laugh at american football. I suppose I shouldn’t have assumed he was american
Toned down version of Rugby if you ask me.
BTW, by he I hope you mean Frank Zappa…I am a lady.
Well, a woman anyway….
There are no women on the Internet.
and a flag, no flag no country
Oh, like Eddie Izzard gets to make the rules.
“Kim Jong-il should be concerened, as close range as he is in comparison, we could probably land a nuke on the end of his nose, give or take a few centimeters.”
`
In all fairness, it’s a very small nose.
Well clearly this is specifically an apollo rocket, since skylab didn’t have the escape tower. If you’re going to be a smart ass, be smarter
12 is correct. Skylab I was launched on a Saturn INT-21, a two-stage vehicle derived from the Saturn V.
The SKYLAB ITSELF was….
You forget that the I & II designations were the manned flight TO Skylab, after it was in orbit.
No; the four Skylab flights (the initial unmanned launch and the three — not two — manned missions to follow) were named Skylab I to Skylab IV. The manned flights were also, confusingly, numbered SLM-1 to SLM-3.
Apollo-Soyuz was launched on a Saturn IB.
I guess I should have said “Skylab I used”, to be less confusing…
Aren’t you forgetting the Apollo-Soyuz mission? That would make 14….
“so what where they fired off for? Science?”
I’m going to ignore the various errors in your sentence construction and cut to the chase. That particular rocket is the Saturn V, the rocket that took the United States to the moon.
The United States is on the moon? Really? Can we recolonise North America now?
Being on the moon would explain how weird-ass our whether has been lately.
*weather
GAAAAH.
bitter trolls ass does not have weather, must be strange viking gal thing…it hale much on your ass?
Hilarious. I LOL’d so hard. Just the thought.
So, we went to the moon? What was our ulterior motive? I always assumed it had some secondary tactical purpose, but even so, i don’t see the humor in this.
We went to the moon so we could build a military base with an amazing tactical advantage over the Earth, a planet we will soon conquer. And there is only humor to those on the moon.
Dont forget “to secure mineral rights for all the cheese”
And to set up diplomatic relations with the rabbit and the old man.
Long live the mooninites!!!!
…y’all seem to be still stuck on there too.
Why do the US get all the fun? They could have at least invited GB along for the ride -.-
They did – The British father of the creator of Ultima was on one of the Skylab missions…..
One of the reasons why Richard Garriott (who would later be a 2-time space tourist on the ISS, and only the second 2nd-generation space traveler.
oops, hit reply too early.
Garriott got the nickname “Lord British”, because of the accent he picked up from his father .
Wow. You learn something new every day! ^_^
… “off for what were they fired?”?
Channeling Yoda, perhaps?
Looks like we’re back to LoLs that aren’t funny again. -.-;
“back to”? You mean there was a funny one somewhere? ;p
Well the “Drunk in Public” gave me a chuckle.
Hmm… Okay, yeah, that one caused a slight twitch at the corner of my mouth too.
This one is totally disappointing.
Even the munchkins one was funnier.
thats harsh, though correct.
It is very important to make fun of conspiracy theorists at all times. Clearly you have failed to recognize this vital fact.
This isn’t funny in any sense of the word though. Sure it’s making fun of some people but that doesn’t equal funny.
Clearly, you failed to recognize THAT vital fact.
We’re here for the funny, dude. Not your soapbox. 2nd time in the last couple days, isn’t it?
If a thing’s worth saying, it’s worth saying often.
As for funny — I see Pundit Kitchen as a way to be an editorial cartoonist without having to draw. Editorial cartoons are mostly of the form “ha ha… ouch.”
Only there’s no “ha ha” here.
I second that notion.
And Gertrude Stein would say, “There’s a ‘Here Here’ Here.”
My initial response was “What’s this guy got against Mormons?” I guess I need to get my glasses checked.
That would make this quite boring poster at least a little interesting. I’m reading it as Mormons now. Much more fun.
Now I can’t stop reading it as Mormon…
dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum……
Joseph Smith was called a prophet!
[link'd]
I’m glad someone got that, LOL. That’s one of my favorite episodes ever.
I loved his wife “smart smart smart smart smart”
like there was someone watching who didn’t get it till that point???
I liked Stan’s (?) reaction to the end of the story. “And you guys ACTUALLY BELIEVE this??????”
Who is the moron that is being referenced here. I don’t think its the people who believe that the moon landing was faked.
Trust me, it is.
Isn’t it true the flag can be seen through a powerful enough telescope? How could anyone fake something like that?
The flag probably not, but the landing site, the rover, and the mirror are all visible. Unfortunately conspiracy theorists can’t look through telescopes because the tinfoil hats get in the way.
I’m charro and I approve this timely message.
First we went to the moon cause of are space race with Russia during the cold War that was pretty much are movement. We used it to mark the flag that we won the space race. they were saturn V rockets used during the 60′s an 70′s (1961-1975). That was for all the people who don’t know what happened with these rockets read on Wiki if you want more.
I must be a moron.
well if you must……….
ye, its not like you can fill those up with garbage and dispose of it up there, right?
i dont get the LOL part in the caption, and why the insult to people who disagree with you? anyways not LOL
How many times does this guy need to caption this same image with the same caption?
Check out his history. It’s so pathetic.
While filming Apollo 13, the cast and crew were on board the “vomit comet” – a specially adapted jet that simulated the weightlessness of space – shooting scenes for the movie. One time, a group of astronauts were also aboard conducting some type of experiment. Ron Howard was floating over the top of their set up when suddenly, gravity kicked back in and he fell on top of their project.
I like this quote from the Wikipedia page:
“Ron Howard stated that, after the first test preview of the film, one of the comment cards indicated “total disdain”; the audience member had written that it was a “typical Hollywood” ending and that the crew never would have survived.”
I’m getting a kick out of imagining Ron Howard floating around. And while I want to be surprised at the vast stupidity demonstrated in your second paragraph I’m afraid I can’t be. Good facts though, LG!
This story has double WIN:
1. Introducing the phrase “vomit comet” to PK
2. Ron Howard falling on top of the other guys’ project.
Does it matter whether it is funny or not? No matter how funny the LOL is, it gets turned into one big, serious cluster F of a debate in the comments…I have seen blood fly…
So let us sit on our soapbox and look down from our cloud of superiority on the unbelievers!
Only a moron or an Obama voter….oh wait, that’s redundant.
The world could use less people like you.
You are about as important as the penis of a stillborn baby.
Let’s stay off that particular imagery, Tyler. Please.
DUDE!! That’s really fu(ked up! You need professional help for your head even GOING there
thats why I said messed up not enjoyable
Dude. Methinks thou dost protest too much, you sick fu(k.
What is wrong with you people lately???????
Well sheesh, I had to get my big break some how.
Not cool, Tyler. Not cool.
Holy fu(ksicle, batman!!!
That’s. well, don’t do it again, dude. That is all.
…and do I have to give you a “less than, fewer than” lecture?
That made me flinch.. I think you should have stuck with taint cream (no pun intended..)
Aw, I’m sorry guys.
Kind of. Just for the imagery.
I’d be sorry for more than the imagery. You’re stepping on some very sensitive toes here. That’s pretty sick.
Froo, by “imagery”, I mean the actual insult- although I’m not sorry for insulting the troll.
Be more clear next time.
Read my mind better next time.
How about you just take those words out of your vocabulary and we’ll all be happy, huh?
Yeah, next time say something refined and tasteful, like, “a dead dog’s penis”.
Tessie, you’re being sarcastic… right?
O.o
Dead dogs are nowhere near as sensitive to most people, so I will wildly guess that she aren’t all that sarcastic.
“She aren’t”? Damn, I is good at GRAMMER. :p
Well, Danbala, she calls it “refined and sensitive..” And I think Tessie is commenting that no dead creature’s penis ISN’T offensive and nasty.
Which is what I was going for.
Oh. I read it as totally sarcasm-less, really. I can’t see that “a dead dog’s penis” would be offensive. Well, depends on where it’s put, but not the phrase itself, I mean.
MORE COFFEE.
(So – what I see I totally failed to say in the 10:01 post despite trying was: Yeah, you are probably right about it being sarcastic.)
The “refined and tasteful” part was sarcasm, but as I wrote the comment, I actually feared the impending wrath of dog lovers.
No dogs were harmed in the making of this comment.
cept the ones we eated for lunch
so true! Though the voters would be more on the ‘out of touch with reality’ side i think.
wow you sure are making right leaning people look sane. I’m proud you’re on my side
I just finished going through the voting and I have one question: What the hell is up with all of lols just saying NEXT! Am I missing something? Oh, and for the record, if you make a lol and you use shortened words like “u”, “ur”, or any lolcat words I’m voting fail.. I hate that sh!t!!
Oh thank god someone else is doing that! I thought I was the only one voting fail on the lolcat nonsense.
We can only hope other’s are as well. Thankfully they don’t seem to be getting to the front page.
One did.
{http://punditkitchen.com/2009/07/19/political-pictures-obama-biden-gullible-ceiling/#comments}
Joe Biden is not a lolcat and should not be captioned as such.
DOH! Yeah, I forgot about that one.. and if I recall, most of the comments were dead set against lolspeak..
Keep the lolspeak for the kitty pictures, and the normal speak for us. It makes more sense that way.
Agreed. This is not “Icanhaspolitikburger” this is PunditKitchen.
I do too. I tend to vote fail on any “normal” spelling errors or typoes too. :p
Not for deliberately mispelled accents, right Eddie? Like saying “Vhat” if it’s a picture of Ahnold?
Right, that’s different.. those get added for emphasis.
I find myself more and more often wishing the “epic win”-button would be replaced with an “epic fail”-button. (Besides giving the caption a -1, it would send a strong electric shock through the captioner’s keyboard next time they visit PK.)
One of the best suggestions for the site I’ve ever heard.
Once in a blue moon I am actually smart!

I totally agree on the epic fail part. I’ve actually found myself looking for that button in a desperate wish.
This isn’t funny to me. It kind of screams, “Well, duh!”
I thought they fired off 15 of the Saturn V rockets. (15 Apollo missions right?)
There were actually more than 20 Apollo launches, if you include Apollo-Soyuz and the Skylab missions. Not all of them were manned, and several used the smaller Saturn 1B launcher. Only the shots that actually went to the Moon used the big gun.
BTW, the Saturn V remains to this day the most powerful machine ever made.
Well, the scientific profit (knowledge and that sort of thing) was quite low, especially relative to the price. Science wasn’t the (main) reason.
The main reason was to race the communists to the moon, proving in the eyes of the world that capitalism works better than communism and that America is a better ally than Russia. In other words, it’s just for the show.
(and the subsequent respect that show would give).
The scientific profit may not have been that high, but the engineering profit was tremendous. We got a whole lot of cool new tech out of it.
Oh. No.
*whips out the crystal ball*
I foresee …
1: A multitude of practically identical posts explaining how WWI and II actually started, posted due to the simple fact that no one can be arsed to see if their oh-so-unique knowledge might already have been spread by others.
2: …
3: THE END OF THE WORLD
Damn. :/
And how the DEVIL did I manage to post it in the wrong thread!?
I wish I was drunk so I had something to blame.
Danbala that’s probably going to be the best LOL I get all day. Thank you!
Only a moron would think we DIDN’T. Really, REALLY that unfamiliar with Big Penis Sixties America? REALLY? We ***HAD*** to prove our penis was bigger than Russia’s penis. HAD TO.
And of course we’re still doing it. Big Penis Iraq Invasion, Big Penis Making Kim Think He Matters, Big Penis Same With Chavez. Penis penis penis penis penis.
No penises were harmed during the making of this comment.
we’d like to see them harmed.
Well only a moron would just believe the man stood in teh moon.
And then again, when I saw my mother giving it the real shit to my plumber man, I loearned to believe that SHIT HAPPENS!
silly hoomans, moon is just figment of troll imagination.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
Is it true that Tang is Chinese for orange?
bitter troll has no clue, no facts, no proof
based off that bitter troll is forced to say NO
because on interwebs you donno have to really know
just sound right
When talking about the orange drink, the name is from the word ‘tangy’ meaning a sharp sour taste, like the drink, which is from Norse word for a sharp tool. ‘tangi’
‘tang’ in Chinese can refer to a lot of different things depending on context; most notably to english would be the Tang Dynasty.
The main purpose of the Space Race was to develop and demonstrate large and dependable booster rockets that would have applications in the Cold War (as ICBMs). It was a continuation of Werver von Braun’s V-2 program with a civilian program as cover. The aerospace industry always benefitted from excitement in the field of science and technology development that drew exceptional students towards engineering.

only a moron would think the whole space race was anything BUT for show!!!
