    Oh, dear. Here it comes.

  2. Blarg says:

    President Obama said that this is American, where the successful can prosper. He neglected to mention that it’s where the unsuccessful can also prosper.

  3. Tubby says:

    Keynesian economics (bailouts, gov’t intervention) and free enterprise (free market system) are NOT the same thing. No wonder the liberals think free markets are a failure – they don’t know what the free market really is. Crack a damn book, yo!

    • Igloo McCoy says:

      Tyler, Jane, Frou, everyone, gather round! First troll! Much faster than I expected.

      • the_original_shortright says:

        ok people… we need to come up with a strategy: are we bashing, mocking or making s’mores and other fun camp foods?

        • mothergoose says:

          smores…mmmm

          • the_original_shortright says:

            i’m actually craving grilled cheese… like pie iron grilled cheese. it just sounds SO good.

            • Jane St.Clair says:

              I like using three different kinds of cheese and putting tomato on it. Mmmmmmmmm. *is hungry now*

              • Tomato and avocado! Mmmmm…

                • the_original_shortright says:

                  my favorite grilled cheese is with reuben rye bread and pepperjack cheese. but more often than not i get the local grocery store knock off of kraft singles in potato bread. putting tomato in is yummy too but i’m picky about the firmness of my tomatoes… they need to be just shy of rock hard.

                  • Me too, about the tomatoes. I don’t like them all runny in the middle. Roma tomatoes are usually pretty firm.

                    • the_original_shortright says:

                      this year we’re growing roma, cherry and beef eaters (i don’t think that’s the legit name but it’s what we call ‘em). fresh crisp cherry tomatoes right off the plant are freaking awesome.

                        • the_original_shortright says:

                          i’m also growing wax peppers, jalapenos and if my dogs haven’t dug up the plants scotch bonnets! and of course the random assortment of herbs. i tried squash but it’s been too cold and rainy of a summer, not enough sun so i think those died.

                        • I have a rather sad-looking container of herbs on my patio, there’s rosemary, oregano, marjoram, and something else. After I bought it I realized that there’s an enormous rosemary bush out in the garden. Dur.

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          Dur dur dur. Dur da dur durda dur dur da dur, dur dur dur der dur, da dur!
                          Anyone guess the tune?

                        • bitter troll says:

                          nation geographic?

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          No, here’s a hint- Tyler associates it with horse racing.
                          That’s my stupid little alter-ego, of course.

                        • bitter troll says:

                          bonaza?

                        • Tessie says:

                          “i’m also growing wax peppers, jalapenos and if my dogs haven’t dug up the plants scotch bonnets”
                          `
                          It seems to me that any dog who dug up, much less ate, a scotch bonnet would live to regret it. I like spicy food, but those things are well beyond my threshold of pain.

                        • the_original_shortright says:

                          tessie – my little dog (the border collie in my avie) eats EVERYTHING. she ate raw jalapenos last year. she hit the water bowl pretty hard after that but she ate ‘em… anytime we’re cooking we’ll take a little piece of whatever we’re cutting up and offer it to her. so far the only thing she even considered before eating was lemons… artichoke she wasn’t too happy with the first time but anytime we cook it now she comes back for more. she’s a straaaaaaange critter. lol.

                  • IvanTheRiddler says:

                    Plain white bread & velveeta grilled cheese. With a side of cream of tomato soup. Comfort food. *curls into fetal position and reaches for shortright*

                    • Buttermilk white bread, cheddar cheese and bacon with just a little honey mustard. The most important thing is that you have to use real butter to grill it. Margarine makes is soggy and crappy tasting, especially spread margarine.

                    • the_original_shortright says:

                      the side of tomato soup is a given. duh!

                    • eddiepscetti says:

                      You know you can make a good chili con queso with velveeta and a can of rotella (I think that’s it) diced tomatoes. Melt up the velveeta then toss in the can and voila! Be sure you keep it under a low heat though, otherwise the velveeta will return to it’s natural state.

                      • the_original_shortright says:

                        chunks of velveeta and any jarred salsa works well too. i prefer tostitos salsa… they usually flavor it pretty well. but yeah, when it decides to firm back up it looks revolting.

                      • Ro-Tel tomatoes and peppers. Yummy melted with cheese for dip, and for many, many other things.

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          Yeah, that’s the one!! Don’t have it here.. :(
                          -
                          My life has reached a new low.. can’t even make a decent chili con queso.. hell, can’t even make a decent chili anything!

                        • Damn, no Taco Bell, no Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, no Dr. Pepper….and no Ro-Tel and Velveeta? :shock:
                          *heart breaks a little for Eddie*

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          Eddie. I’m telling you, man.
                          Head for that store with U.S. food.
                          It’s worth it.

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          Taco Bell! Honestly, if someone had some spare cash and common sense, they could open a Taco Bell here and make a killing overnight! I just wish I had some spare money laying around doing nothing. Even Singapore has Taco Bell.. what’s wrong with one in Australia?!?!

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          Ty-gore, been there.. no velveeta or Ro-Tel and the Dr. P is way to expensive..

                        • Eric-in-STL says:

                          I don’t see how life could be worth living without Taco Bell. *munches 89 cent chicken tacos*

                        • IvanTheRiddler says:

                          I’d do it in a minute, had I the cash! I wanted to open a Krispy-Kreme donut shop near here, as there aren’t any in the WHOLE county. Folks have to drive 40 minutes or more to find one. But they aren’t doing franchises anymore. :-( You can buy them at Wally World, but they aren’t the wonderful warm FRESH ones you get at the shop. *weeping*

                    • brak says:

                      White Italian bread, alternating slices of American and Swiss topped with hard salami grilled to a dark almost-burned-but-not-quite brown. Recipe from The Inkwell in W. Long branch NJ.

                    • Gypsy says:

                      Potato bread, brushed with garlic butter & olive oil, with herbed brie and (optionally) salami. Grilled to a golden brown, served with a rich tomato soup – I put a little sour cream in mine for taste.

        • Jane St.Clair says:

          I don’t know, when you name yourself “Tubby” it sort of takes all the fun out of mocking.

        • Tessie says:

          “ok people… we need to come up with a strategy: are we bashing, mocking or making s’mores and other fun camp foods?”
          `
          Um… If those alternatives don’t pan out, I still have some coconut oil left.

      • slic says:

        Seems like a reasonable post, how is this one a troll?

    • Igor the Vigorous says:

      Are you a sock?
      If not, stop being so fail. You’re aware that liberals HAVE been educated and quite a few HAVE cracked a book?
      Both sides of the argument have good points and you can’t tell all liberals to crack a book. I’m sure some of them have probably cracked quite a few more than you have, as I’m sure some Republicans have read more extensively than I have.

      • Tubby says:

        “blah blah blah not all liberals are uneducated most cracked a book blah blah”

        Of course. I’m not a complete bigot. Ever heard of satire?

        “I’m sure some of them have probably cracked quite a few more than you have” – I agree completely.

        However, I do stand by the first sentence – “Keynesian economics (bailouts, gov’t intervention) and free enterprise (free market system) are NOT the same thing.”

      • froofrou says:

        I know I’ve cracked some books. And I got in trouble when my dad found out about it, too. If there’s one thing he can’t stand it’s a book with a crease down the spine….

        • Jane St.Clair says:

          I’m cool if they’re paperbacks, that’s kind of why I buy them, but don’t fvck up my hardcovers. Don’t even bend the dustjackets. Know what, don’t even look at them.

          • Igor the Vigorous says:

            Agreed. I take all my dustjackets off until I’m done with them.

            • the_original_shortright says:

              i generally beat the crap out of my dust jackets because it’s better than messing up the cloth cover. when i finally have a nice home with nice bookshelves and stuff i’m going to put out all my books w/o dust covers because i like the cloth cover look a lot better.

              • Igor the Vigorous says:

                Meh. My problem is this- I like the dust jackets a lot better because they usually have pictures/some sort of distinctive font on them, so they make it easier to find amongst my multitudes of books. That’s why when I’m reading them, they come off so they stay nice and pretty, and when they go back to the shelf, the jackets go back on, so I can find the book if I ever want it again.

                • the_original_shortright says:

                  i will definitely agree with you there. with cloth cover it’s a lot harder to find which book you’re looking for. but i’ll suffer trying to find the right book if my bookshelves look all fancy and impressive. :)

                  • Eric-in-STL says:

                    “My, your library sure is impressive!”
                    “Thank you.”
                    “What books do you have in here?”
                    “No idea.”

                    • Igor the Vigorous says:

                      LOL.
                      Eric, are you trying to starve me? I just got noodles all over my forearm.

                    • the_original_shortright says:

                      “no idea” is a better answer than “the twilight saga”.

                      • Eric-in-STL says:

                        Yikes. Good point.

                      • Igor the Vigorous says:

                        If you had said that to me you would be ashes on the spot.

                        • the_original_shortright says:

                          i *do* own that series, but it’s buried behind a lot of other stuff on my shelves.

                        • bitter troll says:

                          twilight is a saga?

                          the old teddy rukbin cartoon show can be called a saga now too

                          the saga of teddy

                        • the_original_shortright says:

                          twilight is called a saga. in essence, it’s a 4 part book series. and not an especially well written or thought out one at that. if LOTR and harry potter aren’t called sagas then i’m loathe to refer to twilight as a saga…

                        • …or the Babysitters’ Club saga….

                        • bitter troll says:

                          the 4 part fanfic slash story can be called saga too

                        • Eric-in-STL says:

                        • Eric-in-STL says:

                          Do you know how hard it is to laugh and vomit at the same time, diss?

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Oh, I read the Babysitters Club Saga back in the day. I’m slightly more proud of that fact than the fact that I’ve read 3 or the 4 Twilight books.

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          Jane, I’m proud that I’m a teenager who’s able to read more than the Twilight Saga and my friends’ updates on Facebook.
                          Do I get an award?

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          I thought I already honored you with the annual Teenager Who Doesn’t Suck award. AC was the previous year’s winner, so you were in good company.

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          No, literally, let’s f*ck it. I’ll stick my dragoni-talia into the books, then that will cause me to “accidentally” light the giant pile I’ve collected of every single copy of that “saga” that was ever created on fire with my breath.

            Why, do they go to eleven?

    • Wow, thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious.

      • The Steve says:

        No kidding. I’m pretty sure that high school economics is part of the curriculum required by the state, so everyone here has already “cracked that book”.

        Besides, the difference between the two is what I perceived to be the meat of the LoL.

    • Becca Stareyes says:

      Yeah, this liberal has figured that out. This liberal also thinks that the point of the LOL relies on those being different — that corporations aren’t as much pro-free-market as they are pro-corporation*, regardless of what they say.

      * Not going to be surprised about this — it’s not like self-interest isn’t rare in politics. Half of politics seems to be convincing others that it’s in their self interest to work with you.

    • Lefty says:

      That would be the point of the LOL, Tubby. Put the chicken wings down and think.

      Or should I say, “Put down da wings, yo!”

    • domordaver says:

      Blah blah Keynesian economics, blee blee free market system.

      What are you, one of those Ivy League elitists?

    • Ceefax says:

      I know what the free market is! It’s a wonderful fairy land where those that make mistakes are the ones who take the flack for them!

      Oh, wait, that didn’t happen. The bankers who made the mistakes got huge bonuses and “golden goodbyes” and normal people and small businesses were the ones to go under in the fall out.

      This woolly-headed idea of the totally self regulating free market is as much pie in the sky as big-C communism. Every country needs a mix of capitalism and socialism to function.

    • forge says:

      Fwuh? I are liberal and I don’t think free markets are a failure. Sometimes they go a little bananas though.

  4. eddiepscetti says:

    Just a brief observation, and feel free to let me know if I’m wrong. I think we’re having a crisis with the pictures being captioned lately. It seems that the ‘tourists’ are all using either Arnold, The Pope, or McCain and they all say basically the same thing. On top of that, the captioner isn’t even bothering to put their name to it. How are we supposed to ridicule if we don’t know who did it? We need answers, and we need them now! I’m tired of wading through a ton of pictures and not even one of them being worthy of a snort. For the sake of PK Society, let’s weed out this infestation of crap and get back to business at hand – namely, funny or interesting lols!
    -
    STOP THE MADNESS NOW!!

    • Eric-in-STL says:

      That. Was. Beautiful.
      I waded through at least a couple dozen Arnold LOLs yesterday, and for the last fvcking time, he’s NOT gonna cut the budget with the Conan sword, people!!!!! *head shorts out*

      • Igor the Vigorous says:

        -Ponders where he can find more pictures of Arnold so he can send them to Eric and annoy the living f*ck out of him-
        Nah, not worth it.

        • Eric-in-STL says:

          It’s not the pictures of Arnold that bug me. It’s 300 of the same one with similar or worse captions. It’s not a funny picture, and they don’t make funny captions with it!!!!! Crap. Shorted out again. Can somebody change the fuse in my brain again? It’s the one that says “5″ on it.
