The cake is a lie
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sobs* And what is the state of the crumpets?
*munches on crumpets*
F*ckin delicious thats what state they’re in!
*licks crumpets off of Max*
Ain’t no party like your nana’s teapart – Hey! Ho!
Flight of the Concords reference FTW!
I think he was against monarchy, he did not want America to be another England.
Wow. Didn’t someone call an EWAdams lol today after all the preachy that happened yesterday? They’re psychic.
Also note that “lol” is far too generous for this picture.
EWAdams sucks ass and should be fed to rabid sharks.
With friggin lazer beams.
attached to their heads.
What did the sharks ever do to you to deserve that?
win!
With lasers.
That’ll teach me to answer the phone in the middle of writing a comment.
Froo, you’re frightening me.. first you admit knowing what /b/ is and now you come up with shark-related plans for your opponents.. are you trying to take over PK?
What makes you think I haven’t already done that and EWAdams is a red herring to keep you all bending to my iron will?
I’ll “bend” to your “iron will” any time of day. *wink wink*
That’s right, Max baby, and don’t you forget it!! *drags Max off to dungeon*
Pssst. Clue an old fart in. What does /b/ mean?
It’s a reference to 4Chan.. otherwise known as Troll Nation.
*sigh* Still clueless. I’m guessing it might be something rather hardcore and I might not want to know.
Look it up on Wikipedia. They have a rather long descriptive article…which made me decide not to look up the actual website. A bit creepy, anarchic, and very very troll-infested.
But also some pretty funny stuff!
It’s basically a message board where everyone is a troll.
please note, troll nation very different then troll kingdom
*hugs her poor bitter troll* I love you bitter baby.
Yeah, I figured that. And avoided it.
yeah, i called it… i wish i was wrong.
*hands shortright a deck of Uno cards and asks her to tell the future*
Um… what will I eat for dinner?!
*pulls a wild draw 4*
ummmm, i’m gonna have to call it red.
Sounds like it’ll be spaghetti then.
OMG, I was going to have spaghetti! (Seriously, I was.)
*waits for more news of the future, and possible snacks*
I recommend plain old Cheddar Goldfish.
Those snacks are like therapy! You can split them in half with your teeth, crush their heads….
It’s not like I’m violent or anything.
I don’t really like Goldfish that much. I can have a few, but then the taste gets annoying. Something crunchy though, like pretzels, might be nice. *ponders*
Yeppers. With some spicy brown mustard.
i’m getting a vision of peepers being eradicated from the cheezworld within the next 24 hours. it’s entirely possible that while trying to make a lightsaber with a flashlight, a car battery and some duct tape he’ll manage to burn his mother’s house down. the how is a bit fuzzy… the end result, i’m pretty certain of though.
crap, i forgot to say that i put on my professor trelawney glasses and ethereal voice for that…
I don’t know, he did show us on the doll where mommy touched him.
Yes, it is her fault. Completely and totally her fault. And peepers’ father too. Poor parenting can result in internet trolls. It’s scientific.
I don’t know about the parents being at fault. Sometimes the genetic dice just gives you craps.
Peepers has a mom and dad?
And here I was thinking he was raised by wolves and lived under the bridge with the other trolls…
He was probably hatched and looks vaguely human. There’s a lot of people like that. Check out people of walmart.com for proof.
ZOMG I love that site!
I’ve got bad, bad news, kids. There’s a whole new bunch of preachy LOLames coming our way on Upcoming. Nothing even remotely funny.
Let’s just hope they stay there..
if bitter troll wanted to be preached to , bitter troll would go to troll church and hear about troll jesus.
Does troll Jesus kick you in the nuts for your sins?
troll jesus defeated troll rome with a flame thrower and troll zombie army, then died for your sins, by flying a rocket care into invadeing alien space ship
While I admit that your doctrine is more flamboyant, mine drives the message home on a more personal level, I feel.
AND in the voting bit, another unaccountably high scoring platitide from EWAdams. NOOOOOOOOOO!
Course if he has lots of socks (am I using that term correctly?) each one is worth extra plus votes for him AND extra minus votes for everyone else.
Yeah, that thought occured to me as well. Some that I thought were pretty good had negative votes, and the preachy ones a positive vote, so it looks like the deck is stacked.
Going through the voting reinforces my suspicion that humanity is doomed.
Especially when the preachy, unfunny ones have really bad grammar or spelling. That’s just quadruple failing there.
*checks watch*
Yep, no-talent ass clown makes a LOL…it must be Tuesday…
I don’t know if you’ve seen this yet or not, but with a name like that, you really should. LOL
{http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=2794541824}
Awesome! (I would have also accepted a photo of paint drying or linoleum curling.)
Once I figure out how to stuff the ballot box, that’s going on the front page…
You hire peepers and his 40 other sock puppets to do it for you.
Maybe not. I’m not convinced peepers isn’t EW acting all butthurt about us unrelentingly bashing him lately.
Say what you want about peepers, he’s a clever little tw@t, and nobody could accuse EWAdams of that.
Eh, I don’t think he’s particularly clever. Especially his crap on ROFLrazzi. He seemed to enjoy going on about fat chicks over there. It was sad.
Good point. Just looked. Never seen trolling like it. OK, just a tw@t then. But in a different way from EWAdams…
Keithy, it’s mostly in the incredibly offensive, persistent manner of a lower-internet troll. Occasionally one of them slips up from their “torture and man stretching his own butthole LOL” sites and comes to annoy the f*ck out of real people..
So what’s the lifespan of your typical troll? I was kind of hoping he’d got it out of his system yesterday. Popped up everywhere: more like a tribble really.
I saw him on there a long time ago. Before I even started posting stuff. I think this person honestly just enjoys being a troll.
I think it’s actually kind of funny that that might be my most popular LOL ever.
DAMNIT! And all day I thought it was Wednesday. Thanks Dhoti. *pouts*
If it’s any consolation, it’s Wednesday here..
Half an hour to Wed. here too.
It’s still Tuesday there Tygor.
Damn it! I can’t believe I missed Oralday!
shiiiiiiiiit.
We’ll just have to have double Oralday next week. *winky*
i vote we make oralday be any day of the week that ends in “y”… all in favor?
I’ll vote for that.
I dunno. I think my tongue is gonna cramp up eventually.
Dude, she said “ANY” day. Not that you have to do it “EVERY” day.
A day without oral is a day without sunshine.
Hmmm, so I should come visit?
You could, but then by the time you got here it would be Friday.. Oh wait, that’s not so bad, is it?
It is not. I’m on my way. Woot!
Oh don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll have more of his crap tomorrow too.
Who was that girl that we used to accuse of slobbering pole to get LoL’s on the frontpage?
Is it possible that EWAdams is a re-manifestation of a previously annoying personality?
heatherjlc… and we already discussed that and don’t think so. heather wasn’t nearly so preachy. although her “LOLs” made it to the home page with the same frequency and with the same lack of actual lol-ing.
I have a feeling that had more to do with her ‘oral’ skills than anything.
She certainly did suck all right.
It’s amazing.
EWA, I leave for months, and you haven’t gotten ANY funnier?
Is that even possible, around this crew?
It’s a known fact that the only jokes that you can hear clearly are your own when your head is shoved this deeply up your own anus. It surprises me none.
Well if you had stayed……..
Yeah, it’s Ty-gor’s fault!
welcome back igor
HUGZ
Tom BOOTS!!!! why did the guy on the currency became president?
It’s not funny. It’s kind of preachy, I suppose, but what the Fvck was he getting at? Am I missing something?
I think we’re supposed to make the leap from Washington being against “taxation without representation” to this non-lol. I’m beginning to develop a rather significant amount of disdain and frothy dislike for EWAsshat.
No, Washington’s address upon leaving office was a warning against political parties. His stand on them is very well documented.
That said, it’s still not a funny LOL.
EWAsshat! New PK meme FTW!
i like that one.
and *I* like your modified handle.
Me too!
You have my vote Shorty!!
i’ll pass on the dull knife… it might make it go faster. although, keep around the smelling salts so when he passes out from the pain we can bring him right back. maybe a few pack of O-neg too in case he bleeds too much and blacks out. i want him to remember the ENTIRE thing.
No knives just a spoon.
“It’s duller, you twit, it’ll hurt more!” (1 pt. reference)
robin hood?
*gives both shortright & froo their 1 point*
“Because it’s DULL, you twit, it’ll HURT MORE.”
I heart Alan Rickman and his tight shiny pants
As he often does, he took kind of a mediocre movie and made it GOOD.
HE’s the Anti-Costner. Because, as we all know, Costner takes kind of mediocre movies and makes them terrible.
If Costner, Keanu, and Nicolas Cage all made a movie together, I think the cameras would kill themselves, so the film would never reach theaters.
Throw in Denise Richards, Wynona Rider, and Paris Hilton, and the Circle of Suck ( ™ Rando) will be complete, opening up a black hole to another dimension!
what wrong with denise richards? her breasts are great actresses?
Heathers is a classic film, froo! You stop your smack talking this intant!
Oh, me too.
*drewl, drewl*
Ditto. Alan Rickman is made of awesome.
Hmmm….no, how about a few packs of something like AB+? I think it would be more, um, “interesting” if we could watch the adverse transfusion reaction occurring.
i like this idea… yes, lets go with that.
Too much of the wrong type, and it could go bad pretty quickly. I would suggest only a small amount of the AB+, like maybe a 1/2 pint? Enough for a reaction, but not enough for a chain reaction!
i like this idea even better.
Thank you. Thank you. I have my moments, few and far between they may be.
Not only s there a serious lack of funny, there is a serious lack of common sense.
Yes our current political parties have devolved to angry pre-schoolers in expensive sandboxes, but one party systems = totalitarianism. EW needs to pick up a history book along with a joke book.
A one-party system is not the same as a no-party system.
read “washington” by david McCullough, you will fully understand the greatest president this nation ever had.
Washington? Srsly?

I do have an unnatural obsession w/ my i-pod btw.
Due to my uncanny ability to destroy everything I own that’s nice, my last two iPods have been hand-me-down Shuffles from my brother and wife. I don’t dare drop the cash for a nicer one. It’d be dead in a week.

Oh Keithy, that is worth 50 internets.. And for that, you are always welcome on the lawn.
Why thank you Eddie, I have heard much, and dreamed more, of the fabled lawn and it is with humble gratitude and eager anticipation that I look forward to my first visit. I shall bring a bottle of Pimm’s.
Cool! And feel free to help yourself to the esky full of good Aussie beer.
Amber nectar? Prawns on the barbie? Beaut.
Suddenly I’m craving a bloomin onion at Outback Steakhouse.
When my wife went to the States for a holiday, we went to the Outback. The waiter was seriously upset when he tried to pawn a Fosters off on us that we wouldn’t take it. He got a bit indignant when she explained that Aussie’s don’t drink Fosters, it’s for export only.
UK Fosters is gnats p!ss.
It could be worse; it could be Anhauser-Busch.

No offense, but my entire hometown just gave you the finger.

Nope. I don’t.
My little brother, however, has a creaky bed….
Oh.
2) Family members knocking when you’re trying to get it off
Oh the advantages of being HAPPILY married. I do pray with all my heart you find that happiness. God gave no greater gift, outside salvation than a good wife…..
JAC, you might want to amend that to read “outside salvation AND CAKE than a good wife…”
That way, it’d be correct. -nod nod-
Isn’t it ironic…and extremely disturbing, don’t you think?
A little too distrubing. Yes, I really do think.
That would not be ironic in the least, good sir!
paying the ex $50G’s so he’ll never reappear

making an idiot of yourself on the ‘net because your blood sugar drops and you get all pissy and depressed
And what’s sad is each every one of those things is more profound in one’s life than EWAdams could ever hope to imagine or appreciate.
Umm, they keep you awake for a sigmoidoscopy, by the way. You get some valium, but you are definitely awake.
…
Depressing list much, Charro? So sad…
But it’s funnier than an EWAdams LOL…
All true.
The reason for political parties forming was a direct difference in opinion in Washington’s Cabinet, which formed the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists.
I’m just curious, EWAdams, do you REALLY have nothing better to do? Also, I’d like to know how many socks you have, I’m guessing around 40.
-makes a dummy, posts a tag labled “EWAdams” and grabs a torch-

Can we have a tea party for EWAdams?
Torch
EW
Adams
There, it’s a TEA party, just like the other ones. We’re just not teabaggers.
Given that we use single-member district plurality, political parties were an inevitability. It would require a fundamental change to our electoral process in order to move away from a two-party system.
he wasn’t against having political parties, he was against having more than one political party
Knowledge fail.
Our founding fathers were against political parties.
George Washington wasn’t a founding father. He’s just the poor general they convinced to be the first President. Our history books are unsure of his stance on political parties.
And all your EWA bashers, how could you possibly forget spontaneous combustion?
…..this is true…-EXPLODES IN FLAMES- ahhhh! ahhh! yes this is better! AHHHHH
I’m pretty sure he meant don’t have just two parties when he said don’t have two parties.
The lol sucks but it doesn’t mean that EWAdams is stupid.
Why can’t we have political parties? I brought cake and crepe paper and everything! I want to have a party, dammit!!
Oooh, I’m ready for a political party! I even have a theme in mind: Tammany Hall during the NY gang wars!
Anybody got the sand of the dead rabbits?
The cake is a lie! Which is why the politicians love it so so much.
again, read “washington” by david McCullough, he was a founding father, even though scarlett fever made him sterile as a boy.
…. what the fork is that sentence even supposed to mean??? Sterile? He had two kids. Both died, tragically enough, but he wasn’t sterile. But what the hell does that have to do with his status as a founding father?
Apparently, you need to stop reading from this david fellow, and, you know, take HIST 1301.
david “fellow?” DOCTOR McCullough is a professor amerutis(sp?) and recognized as THE expert on American Political history. He has written several books on ALL the founding fathers. maybe YOU should stop skipping history to shoot dope and start attending your classes ghost. but hey, you probably think Ken Burns is George Burns’ grandson(Ken Burns produced such quaint little films as “the War,” and “the Civil War, btw,…assclown!!!.)
That’s just dandy. You’re still wrong.
prove it and i’ll admit it
Okay.
Look up a copy of the declaration of independence, and find George Washington’s signature.
That was easy. I guess you missed the part, or maybe this david fellow never mentioned it, in which George Washington was not a part of the Congress which decided, planned, and FOUNDED this country. He showed up afterward, in full uniform, and declared that he was ready to fight. He did not found the country, and is hence not a founding father, but he sure to hell fought for it. His brilliant and cunning tactical decisions were one of the few reasons this nation ever existed and resulted in the people of this young nation adoring him so much that he was elected to be the first president, a position which he reluctantly accepted.
He also wasn’t present during the signing, although there’s quite a few facts that hint he knew of the document. He was a bit too busy doing exactly what he said he would do.
He didn’t plan America. Many speculate he did not truly want to break from Great Britain, but like many others, events had left him no recourse.
George Washington wasn’t a founding father. He was more important than that. He was, and still is, one of the sole reasons this nation even exists.
Oh.
And he had small pox as a child, not scarlet fever, smart one. You can even trust wikistupida on that.
i stand corrected, my apologies, but we both agree that he is the best president this nation ever had, so we are argueing that we agree. its a shame that there are no real leaders in this country like he and his generation. agreed?
That’s some mighty big shoes to fill… Apparently, he was 6′ something! But aye, he was, and still is, the best president we’ve ever had.
We can’t forget that he also thought that male landowners 21 and older should be the only ones who could vote.
You forgot ‘white.’
Still, you have to remember that of the two parties today the Democrats are by far superior in every aspect.
Honestly, Republicanism should be outlawed. It promotes violence, inequity, racism, and idiocy.
All I will say to this post is this: You fail at life.
this is sooooo not fair. peepers AND again?!
WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS!?
next thing we know, random will be back too.
Something tells me that Random won’t be back, at least, not as Random and not with that email address…..
Froo, judging by the amount of time Random has been gone without showing back up to annoy us, I believe PK set A) a cookie on his computer and used it to block him out by blocking the cookie # whenever it tries to submit to the system or B) blocking his IP address, if he’s really, really stupid.
I just have a feeling he won’t be back.
So do I.
i’m pretty sure random is gone for good… but they seem to have been coming out of the wood work, so you never know where that roach will come crawling out from.
“Honestly, Republicanism should be outlawed. It promotes violence, inequity, racism, and idiocy.”
Honestly, Again, look- if you want a political opinion to be outlawed, you are the one promoting ignorance and idiocy.
I’m not saying I agree with people who promote violence, or that they should be allowed to speak their piece, anyone who promotes violence should be an outlaw, damnit. I’m sick of people promoting violence then acting like they’re shocked when the result of their promotions is violence.
Anyway, we’re all supposed to be able to believe what we want, personally- how Democratic would it be if we could outlaw beliefs here?
Republicanism doesn’t promote those things any more than Democratism does. Each party has its own core beliefs, and nuts that carry those beliefs out to scary levels. Again is an idiot.
I completely agree, Froo- I’m just saying that we SHOULD outlaw people actively promoting violence and harm to others.
Andddd I forgot to finish my sentence- regardless of their parties, or what they claim their beliefs are. They’re so whacky they all come out at the same end of the political spectrum, they just don’t want to think about it that way and define themselves by something that they no longer are.
That pretty much already is outlawed, darling. It’s been reinforced with the recent hate crime law passed as a rider this week.
Which brings me to this point: The reason for that rider was given as needing legislation to stop or punish crimes like the murders of Matthew Shepherd and James Byrd. In those cases, everyone either got the death penalty or was given life in prison (that was only one guy, IIRC). So if those crimes were properly punished, what good is adding to the law going to do? It just seems unnecessary and a waste of time.
Unfortunately, screaming for the death and dismemberment of someone isn’t a crime. It’s when you act on it that it becomes a crime. There is a possibility that someone encouraging it could be charged as a conspirator or agitator, but do you really want to go down that road? Think about how many statements are made on this site alone calling for the death of trolls. If the troll you tell off and tell to get bent and go die actually gets hurt or killed tonight, do you want to be dragged into court as having promoted his violent demise?
That’s a very slippery slope, and while I think that idiots who call for the death of others on ideological, religious, or other grounds should be silenced, I can’t bring myself to take the right to be an idiot away from people.
“And while extremists who promote violence against abortion providers could be prosecuted under state and federal law — and particularly under the federal FACE Act — the federal government in recent years has hardly prosecuted any such cases.”
[http://washingtonindependent.com/45408/prosecutions-of-anti-abortion-extremism-fell-under-bush]
Froo, I’m saying that people like the leader of the FSU gang should be arrested, because they’re aware of the consequences of their actions, that people really do believe the things they say, and that people will take action on it. In regards to that, Froo, there are also laws about “malicious intent”, etc, that would protect one from such a thing- me telling a troll to die, and him dying the next day, would not be a problem unless I was telling people, in a serious manner that suggested I knew people would follow my instructions, that they should kill him are two different things.
You’re trying to legislate thought in those cases, and while it may be obvious that the leader of the FSU gang is fully aware of the consequences of his words, proving intent in a court of law is one of the hardest things you can do. I’ll defer to Diss on this one. If you don’t have anything concrete, then double jeopardy attaches and you’re screwed as far as holding him accountable for the crime.
Like I said before, trying to punish thought or supposed intent is a slippery slope that I don’t want to go down.
You know, Froo, I’ve been studying this thing called “Cognitive Dissonance”… And I feel like me even trying to argue this any further would be the same as being a stubborn old mule who can’t admit when he’s wrong. So, I see your point. I just wish we could stop people who’re fully aware of the situation and the power with which they speak and that violence will occur… and they encourage it. To me, it’s the exact same thing morally as committing every crime that you cause yourself.
I absolutely, 100% agree with you. I wish we could stop it. Personally, I want a license that allows me to shoot, run over, or sterilize 6 idiots a day. Just six, that’s all I’m asking for. I promise I wont’ abuse it….
I don’t think the families of the people killed in the civil rights movement whose known killers were let off by local law would agree with you.
I agree with you, however, that the enforcement is uneven. But remember that someone has to request fed involvement.
I feel that the legislation for hate crimes is spottily applied at best, and abused at worst. If you want to get down to the nitty gritty (and this is where my main problem is), every crime can be considered a hate crime.
Also, for it to be a hate crime, the perpetrator has to target a specific group. With the Shepherd case, that’s clear. With the Byrd case, under that definition, it wasn’t a hate crime. Also, if you have a first-time perp, how can you possibly classify what s/he did as a hate crime, absent the declaration?
These are my main problems with the legislation. That, and the fact that they tend to skew in such a way that certain groups get left out of the protective circle completely.
But what I was talking about was why there is the need for the legislation.
Most laws are not applied uniformly. But that doesn’t mean they are good or bad laws. And it was actually the failure of local law to apply exisiting laws that created the need for hate crime designation.
Incidentally, the perpetrators in the Shepard case did make a declaration. In other cases, writing things like ‘This n*****r ain’t gonna vote’ on a black man’s body is a declaration. Don’t know the Byrd case, sorry.
I do agree that any crimes of this magnitude are ‘hate crimes’ in the way we morally define hate. It’s probably a poor choice of words, but I’m not sure what else one would call it. “Beating the sh*t out of you because you’re a f*g” is a bit long.
I understand (I think) what you mean and agree mostly.
But do you understand that most crimes are handled by local law? And if they choose not to act, it’s really difficult to do anything. But since this is a federal law, if the locals don’t step up, you CAN call the feds.
NOw ideally, there would always be recourse for ANY crime not handled properly locally. Unfortunately that crosses the constitutional division between state and federal authority. So they just keep adding the types of crimes most frequently screwed up locally.
But I’m thinking maybe women should be a protected group, eh? Then we could sick the feds on rapists. **leaves to ponder and check on new cat — stupid black cats not getting along**
I definitely hope we sick everything we have on rapists…
Honestly, I can’t think of a group of people I have more contempt for in this world…
My youngest brother told me that an old Greek penalty was to give the rapist to five of the victim’s male relatives.
I thought that was totally unfair. Should be five FEMALE relatives. Men are too soft; with women you know there would be no reproduction of rapists!
My father voted for castration with a rusty saw. (Course he had two girls; may have affected his vote.)
WIN for the teenager’s reply!
I blame myself. I summoned him. *hangs head in shame* You’re leaving now, right?
Didn’t they teach you about Protective Pentagrams in Summoning 101. Your summoning circle couldn’t have been created properly. Now go back and try again (and if you happen to summon up a 6′ blond bird carrying sacks of money then pass her over to me
)
blond bird? Are we summoning sesame street?
Crap. We were going for Big Bird and only got Telly Monster. This sucks.
But why would I want to summon Paris Hilton?
democrats were the party of the slaveholding southerners, how is indivuality, freedom of speech and capitalism violent, racist, unequal or idiotic. please respond to each adjective in detail with historical and socialogically verifiable facts. thank you.
I must respectfully ask — you type in all lower case letters. Sir, WHY do you hate capitalism?
SAR IZ A SOCIALEST!!1!!1!1!!!!
I was asking mr. again up top there to explain himself. Follow the thread gentlemen, follow the thread…unless you can explain how democrats are superior and republican should be banned??? care to take up his challange??
“if it doesn’t have your name on it, leave it alone.”
Joke recognition fail.
Also, there’s no point in asking “again” to explain anything, as they’re a raging troll. Just FYI….
And, yeah, dude, I was what we like to call “joking”….tough crowd.
Well, I admit my attendance has been spotty at best lately.
Low attendance means you don’t get the coupon for the free cheeseburger at McDonald’s. Only those with perfect attendance get the cheeseburger coupon.
You know, I never noticed how rosy his cheeks were. Well, it’s offtopic, but just look…it’s like he is shy and blushing away!
Guys wore makeup back then.
French courtiers wore makeup back then; make up was rarely if ever worn by the colonists. Actually, in the American colonies, between 1700 and 1800, makeup was outlawed (by churches, I believe). The most that George probably would have worn was some powder on his wig. This is a painting of Washington, not a photo. There’s some creative license going on here, making George look not so pale by giving him rosy cheeks.
I saw a show on the History Channel about death masks of famous people, and George was one of them. According to the show, he contracted small pox as a young man and had pockmarks on his face. The artistic license in this painting probably extends to making the pockmarks and skin discoloration into a nice rosy glow.
Ooh, that’s interesting.
Even french kings whore makeup back then, and since they controlled american presidents, i suppose it’s safe to say that they made them wear makeup as well, to show their subordination.
Boy are you ever WRONG. I can’t even count the number of ways in which you are wrong. Can you STFU for once or add something useful to the discussions.
We’re good this way, I let you add the useful stuff to the discussions and rather stick to my numerous ways in which I’m wrong. ( By the way, it wans’t that many ways, except for the “whore” maybe, but that was on purpose)
“ways in which I’m wrong. ( By the way, it wans’t that many ways, except for the “whore””
Once again, wrong.
“it’s safe to say that they made them wear makeup as well, to show their subordination”
^^ That is wrong.
oh, come on, now you’re counting peas. (Hehe)
Whore makeup? Tell me more!
Maybe he’s just been teabagged.
Eh? I thought he had a political party, just that he was against a bipartisan system?
Need to brush up on my history.
He technically preached against politics, but probably best affiliated with the Federalist party based on some of his actions and ideas of a centralized government and the like. If anything, he was on the brink of being hypocritical with his hammering against party politics but obvious slant towards one side. But he never claimed to be perfect.
well i guess no one followed the one truest greatest speech this man ever made. and frufru to you i have to say go to hell dumbass
Why the fvck are you telling her to go to hell? And who the fvck are you anyway, dicklicker?
What happened to dicksniffer? I liked that better.
I still use dicksniffer. But I like to mix it up a little sometimes. Keep ‘em on their toes.
Wait, are you talking to me? You’re calling me a dumbass, but you apparently lack the mental capacity to either capitalize, use proper grammar, or spell a name properly when it’s right in front of you.
You fail at life. Please go die now, kthxbai.
Yo talkin’ to me?
Ignore that bailey and come over and meet my way cooler friend, Bailey’s Irish Creme. Mmmmmmmmmm. So yummy.
I think we can all agree on one thing Georgie here wasn’t against. Man-Rouge!

Also, he totallylookslike Bernie Madoff… or Bernie looks like him.
Who cares what he would’ve thought? He’s dead.

Come on! What about Bob?
<3 bill murray movies!
Death therapy FTW.
NOOO BABY STEPS BABY STEPS!
bitter troll is confused, this is amuseing and cute, where is the preachy, non-amuseing, boreing and inaccurate. this scares bitter troll who does not like change, where is the “lol” about how the troops save us everyday and we should blow them, or the “lol” about about a fireman being a true hero again and again. perhaps him saveing a kitten while children burn to death and how we should blow them too. where is it?
bah wrong pic, bitter troll ment to go to the one with cheney wanting to shoot people
Love bitter troll’s comments (although I’m not sure I understand all the EWAdams stuff going on). But, please, please will bitter troll drop the ‘e’s from his ‘ing’ verbs?
**English teacher pulling out hair**
You’ll just have to learn to love bitter and his comments
english not bitter troll’s first lanuage, you try typeing in troll some time !
I can type in Spanish; does that count? Except I keep forgetting how to get the stupid tildes! And the accents! So throw in some extras of those for me instead.
troll much different then spanish, much slower and farts used as part of speech. hard to type out a fart
I bet if we watched the close captioning for Simpsons, we could figure out how!
Maybe if we watch it on the flatulence screen.
You can’t really close caption silent but deadly ones.
Maybe a little stealth bomb falling across the screen?
Too bad Washington wants a big, centralized government. Or else he’d be THE man.
He’s dead. I doubt he “wants” anything these days. Just sayin.
First of all- not funny caption, you kind have to add some comedic spice not just go out there and say it and expect laughs. That’s like saying this is a funny caption.
“Bush went to war with Iraq. That was a bad idea.”
HAHAAAAHHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!
Also, the problem with Washington’s plan is that ideologies eventually split into parties. It’s kind of inevitable. That was just a pipe dream of his.
Not funny? None of the previous comments mentioned that….
GW was not all he was made out to be. not my hero.
Washington was opposed to political parties because he was worried about a system where members of the party who won the election would lord it over those who lost. In other words, he was concerned political parties would divide the nation and lead to a “ruling class”.
when did pundit kitchen become preachit kitchen? I appreciate the truth behind this picture and the Einstein quote one, but… really don’t come here to get preached at–my bible and my history books do that
And yet, by being against them, he created them.
George Washington is an idiot. He didn’t do anything.
Dear Lord, THIS!!!
