Whut? Half of these guys weren’t even president…
Sprang?
This picture is unfunny, and the caption doesn’t improve it.
They were all presidents, Steve.
Ford was 38th.
Carter was 39th.
Bush Sr was 41st.
Clinton was 42nd.
Wow. Ford and Carter really aged horribly…unreconizable.
Hasn’t Ford been dead for a couple years?!?
Disregard previous comment…my mind is elsewhere. The picture and caption still aren’t funny. These guys aren’t “springing” into any sort of “action” unless you count applying denture cream and taking a nap.
Somehow I think Clinton is still springing…
Haha, ok. Maybe Clinton and Bush Sr. Wonder-twin powers activate!
Worst. Threesome. Ever.
Unless EW-Adams is the one in the middle…I wouldn’t want to watch, but I might call that a win!
*barfs*
My eyes…the goggles do nothing!
**looks round DESPERATELY for some brain bleach**
third shelf on the left, next to the sink…
Don’t do it, it’s the brain stainer set inner….
Remember to wash your brain in cold water so the stain doesn’t set in.
We should have killed all the presidents from before Reagan.
It’s not right that they’re alive and he has been taken from us.
Yes Sqwirk is an idiot, but when you’re calling someone an idiot, you might want to use the correct “you’re”…………… Or at least have a longer post so people know you do mispell or have bad grammar.
hmm that would be US Government 101 Fail on Steve’s part. I guess you could technically say half of them were vice presidents and make the arguement that one of them was never elected president.
Mr Ford was not elected, but did serve as president. Both Mr Ford and George Herbert Bush have served as Vice President, with only Mr Bush being elected.
All 4 of these men have served as President.
woo gov’t 101 win. asked a co-worker which of these 4 was never elected as president or vp and not only didn’t he know, he thought carter was the guy who took over when kennedy was killed. doh.
Common knowledge fail, I’d say, certainly.
So many children left behind over so many years. *has a sad*
Yeah DAMN that liberal education….
Right, like the conservatives have done a better job. “I’m the executive decider”? All that wasted money on a “premium” education.
Hey at least we don’t always say America was on the bad side of everything in the past. I had a falming liberal history teacher in HS, she even bashed America for joining WWII. Of course she spent two weeks on Woman’s lib, and one day on the Civil War. Sad thing was I was one of two conservatives in my class. Even SCARIER I was the only A in the class…….
No, but saying America was on the good side of everything in the past is just as incorrect and just as bad.
Never would have said that either…. it’s just that she tended to focus on the “bad” all the time, it got annoying. It’s funny when you prove a class of 30 people and the teacher wrong on the Goods vs Bads of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. She was under the impression the Native Americans were a peace loving people who NEVER warred among themselves, or raped the women and killed the wrong boys of a tribe. Not to mention that fact that some tribes of Native Americans believed in **gasp** slavery.
You missed the bit where the latest thinking in Archaeology is that the “Native Americans” are actually invaders themselves, and the real reason they are so reluctant to allow research is that they still know where the corpses are buried!
Well yeah someone had to kll off Big-Foot……
I didn’t mean that YOU would say that. I was just pointing out that I agree — it’s wrong either way. My son had a very conservative 2nd grade teacher (yes, conservatives in the public school system — shall I get you the smelling salts?) who said, “I don’t see why we can’t just have Catholic prayer in the schools since everyone here is Catholic?” After I picked up my jaw off the floor, I pointed out that I was not and nor were at least half of the class. There are morons everywhere, of all persuasions.
And the Native Americans would never sell their neighbors land for a handful of trade goods.
“Um, dude, what are you doing in my house?”
“It’s not your house, we bought it from your chief for some beads”
“Dude, that’s not my chief…”
“Whatever, you all look the same to me”
The liberals HAVE to teach; conservatives are too greedy to work for such crap wages.
The liberals HAVE to teach b/c it is Government Welfare due to lack of work; Conservatives are too work ethical for such jobs that only work 66% of the year….. There I fixed that for you…
(just to clear the issue I know teachers work hard, it’s a parody!!!!)
FASCISTS!!!!ELEBENTY!!!!!
Which half weren’t presidents, Steve?
Ford = was a president.
Carter = was a president.
Bush Sr = was a president.
Clinton = was a president.
Oh damn, reply fail.
Ivan, I think your correctness scared him off.
It happens to us all.
Ivan you know you’re drunk when you repeat yourself, you know you’re drunk when you repeat yourself…
Did I mention that they were all presidents at one time or another?
BUT which one was NOT an elected President?
That would be Mr Ford.
He was elected Vice President and took over when Nixon resigned.
Actually, he was appointed as vice president (after Spiro Agnew, who was elected with Nixon, resigned).
Thank you. Gerald Ford was elected neither President nor Vice President. If memory serves, this is the only time in history.
Ah yes, I remember now.
I don’t know how old you are, but I have to say, in all fairness, that those things are a heck of a lot easier to remember when you actually watched Agnew’s election AND resignation on TV.
I think I was actually alive, but was too young to remember. Now, Nixon resigning, I remember. I’ve never seen my mother so happy.
I can understand. I was alive, but do not remember Kennedy’s assassination. My parents, also, were pleased with the resignation. Does make it easier to remember.
I was a Carter baby. *insert Nelson laugh here*
There’s a photo of me rolling around on a fake bearskin run in my onesie, with Kennedy’s funeral on the TV in the background. Still kind of wondering the impulse that made one of my parents take that picture!
I was a Trudeau baby. :p
I r a dum American. I dunno who that is.
@Rando: French Canadian guy? Inexplicably attractive to thousands of women? Ran Canada for something like 20 years? Sigh……never mind, I was (technically) a Nixon baby.
JFK was assassinated during my middle brother’s birthday party. Senator Kennedy was shot on my birthday (although he died the next day). My mom was beginning to think that she should warn their mother that there are three more of us.
I don’t have a mental picture of Trudeau, but I did know he was the Canuckian PM for quite a while. I was surprised when he wasn’t, anymore!
I know far more about Canadian hockey players than I do about Canadian politicians. Trudeau? No idea. Henri Richard? Guy Lafleur? Jacques Plante? Oh sure.
When I read Trudeu I thought of the author of the doonsbury comic strip.
Okay, I must confess that that’s actually why I know he was the PM. My dad mentioned Trudeau, and I said, oh, Doonesbury, and thence came the lecture on paying attention to Canada.
I was born the year Canada repatriated our constitution… I can say that with the confidence too few people will bother to look that up for it to matter.
Okay, I do believe I need some more coffee, and, GB, you’re a babe. (As in young’un.
)
So do universities in Canada teach in French? This is all very interesting. Curiouser and curiouser our northern neighbors get.
*Hands Mabs more coffee and Baily’s*
Not the one I went to but they do in some eastern Uni’s Albertans learn French out of necessity, but many can’t speak more than 3 words a few years after high school.
So, the important question for some of the rabid right wingers, do you or do you not have the right to arm bears? (Of course, having SEEN some of your bears, I’m not sure why they would need arms, but it seems to be of great importance to some people.)
And I am very curious to how many Canadians still choose to educate their children in French, given that English is becoming the dominant business language (even spelt funny as you do up there).
It’s the right to bare arms actually. You have the right to freeze your arms if you so desire.
Well, you’d hardly need to codify that in Canada.
Technically no. Bearing arms is a privilege up here, much like driving, you must be fully licenced to own a fire arm and we do (unfortunately) have to register all fire arms.
Most major municipalities have severe fines for using a weapon within city limits (and outside of designated ranges). Use of lethal force for any reason other than perceived threat to human life (not injury, threat to life) is minimum manslaughter. My fire arms training was very specific on certain points. A gun is a tool with one purpose. Not to injure. Not to intimidate. It is a tool you use to kill. An average Canadian civilian will not point a weapon at another human without clear indication a human life is at risk, but when they do they have one goal in mind.
That said, getting a fire arms licence is not difficult, many school districts include fire arms training in the curriculum. Once upon a time fire arms training was part of our scouts program (before they nerfed it in to a politically correct shell of what it used to be) and still is part of Cadet Corp training (somewhat related to Jr ROTC programs down there). Per capita we actually have more legally owned fire arms than in the US, we just prefer long guns as most of them are primarily used for hunting.
On a side note, we do tend to have a somewhat higher tolerance for cold. Wearing a t-shirt or tank top at 50F is not uncommon and a light jacket until the low 20′s is pretty much standard.
See the Canadian Temperature Conversion Chart
You do need a permit in order to own a firearm in the united states, but I can’t say what goes into getting a permit. Owning a firearm is a right, but you can lose that right through a number of things, including a criminal record, or being committed to a mental institution for suicidal/homicidal thoughts or behavior.
I’m not legally eligible to own a firearm….
Your chart is mistaken. At 40 F Californians freeze to death. Were even worse about heat. At 80 F we start emptying out the freezer to see if there’s enough room in there for us.
Technically southern Alberta is ‘semi-arid’ which translates roughly as “we’re a frakin’ desert if we have more than 3 months above freezing”. 90F in July is not uncommon. However it has been known to snow 5 days later so you either learn to tune out the temperature or you move to the west coast (a quarter inch of snow is enough for Victoria to grind to a halt).
I’m still not sure I believe in this snow of which you speak….
Coastal and central BC is basicly just Northern Cali, replace the Mexicans with more Asians, and add a bit more rain in the ‘Winter’. In the mountains though… well imagine what you would get if you crossed a Tennessee Hillbilly with a hippie.
Hillbilly and a hippie? *tries to combine the two, brain starts to smoke, small fire starts, brian cpompltly breks* Ow.
Yeah that more or less is their effect on most people… On the up side the intoxicants they come up with and their version of ‘free love’ makes Amsterdam look like a convent.
But if they’re also hillbillys I would worry that their free love doesn’t always stay withing the human species….*decides to go to the convent in Amsterdam instead*
*pictures DU in a habit in Amsterdam*
@mabs: French is taught in schools from about Grade 3 up, sometimes earlier, it’s not an option. It becomes an option in High School. When I graduated, in order to get an advanced diploma, you had to have French all of your high school years. We also have french-immersion schools here in Alberta which are quite popular. Quebec schools are 100% French by law, with English classes being available (if I remember correctly). All signage must be in English and French, except for Quebec, where it’s French only, by law. So, all of our cereal boxes have both French and English.
GB, gun laws in the states, like many laws, vary wildly from place to place. DU is totally correct about CA law, though.
Our Scouts still do rifle and shotgun shooting. I don’t know that they ever did handgun shooting. I think the insurance would probably be prohibitive; it’s bad enough for the rifle/shotgun.
Does the govt pay for or subsidize religious schools? It sounds as if it does from the Charter, but legalese is NOT my first language. And do you have totally whacko religious schools as we do? (E.g., new earthers, anti-evolutionists)
THank you for all your answers. (PS It’s your own fault for mentioning the Constitution thingie.
)
Nucky, thanks also.
PS to GB: BC like CA? I think not. We used to go to Prince Rupert for river salmon fishing, and it rained constantly!! Southern CA is almost desert (I believe less than 20 inches of rain annually, but am not sure I am recalling correctly). I always did love the Canadians swimming in ‘winter,’ though. A bit more similar farther up the coast, however.
@ Mabs: I might be repeating this, but I can’t find my post from earlier (maybe on another thread?). The government will subsidize a school that conforms to their educational standards. We have the public system (run by the local school board and funded by the province) and the Catholic system (run by, well, you know). When they take the census, you tell them which school board you support and that’s where your taxes go. We also have private schools and chartered schools. That gets a little fuzzy for me, but private is funded by the parents and chartered bypasses the local school boards and answers directly to the Province, also funded by government and/or parents.
Yes, you are not ‘misremembering.’ Our private schools are privately funded also, but we now call them ‘independent’ schools. E.g., my son’s school belongs to the Independent School Association of the Southwest, which accredits them. I don’t know if they do anything with the state or not; their standards are so much higher than the state’s that it doesn’t really matter.
I was just wondering about the religious schools as ours do not receive direct govt funding due to our separation of church and state, although they do receive tax breaks for the same reason. Confused yet? Some of our religious schools also teach what they ‘religion based science’ — new earth, etc.
I am not familiar with the Catholic curriculum, other than I know they take religious studies. The private and chartered schools here are much better than public (if you can afford them), they always surpase government standards. But the government standard has to be met in order to qualify for any funding that is available. You have no piqued my curiosity and when I have a moment I will delve into our funding laws. The Catholic school system (commonly referred to as the Separate school system) does recieve the same type of funding from the government that the public schools do.
No he built cars in Detroit.
*pat pat* It’s ok, buddy. They can’t ALL be funny.
Weren’t they a group of bank robbers, in Point Break?
Ford would be a Zombie X-President though…or a Black Lantern President.
Two pretty not very funny ones in one day…sad. Although The Steve’s comment did add a bit of humor. I anticipate a spate of ‘The Americans are so dumb they don’t know who their living ex-presidents are’ comments.
I could have sworn the Ford was dead. Sorry! Damn, he must be OLD!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_ford
He’s been dead for going on four years now; hence, my comment on him being the Zombie or Black Lantern President.
*fleessshhhhh*
Ah, it’s okay. You added some funny to the lol. (Psst, it says who they are under the caption…otherwise I would have had to look really hard at Ford myself.
)
I have to read something besides the caption on the picture?!?
This site is getting complicated. Ancient pictures, subcaptions…good grief.
That’s Henry Ford. Along with his son Edsel. Been pushing up daisies for some time.
Ford IS dead. Nothing says that this picture was taken last week!
Shhhh. Don’t tell them that. You’ll ruin a perfectly good joke.
“In Ford We Trust!”
*makes the T shape with her hands*
Eh, Ford is hanging in there. Chrysler is the one that’s dead.
Actually it’s GM which incorporates Chrysler and Chevy….
Nope, Chrysler is Dodge. Chevy is GM, though.
DAMN IT!!! Then why is the Chrysler the same car as some Chevys…. **has a PISSER**
I have no idea, ILPB. My ex was a mechanic for Chrysler, I know they are affiliated with Mazda. Never heard that Chevs were similar…… Are you sure you’re not sniffing the peanut butter instead of eating it?
The Toyota Matrix = the Pontiac Vibe. *waits to see if PB’s head will explode*
It’s not. Chrysler is the same as some Dodge (and formerly Plymouth) vehicles; similarly GM includes (or included) Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, Chevrolet, and GMC; Ford includes Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury. If there’s a Chrysler vehicle that’s remarkably similar to a Chevrolet, I guess that is either coincidence…..or corporate espionage…..
Dodge Stealth = Mitsubishis 300GT.
Chrysler Sebring almost equal to Chevy Impala.
Ford Ranger = Mazda B Series
Mazda Tribute = Older Explorer
Most cars have some things that are simialr… it is depressing.
They could have a light to signal them like the presidential seal, BATMAN STYLE!
Meh.
Ok stop me if you heard this… A Pervert, a zombie, an idiot, and a retard all step off a plane……. Oh you’ve heard it, sorry.
Okay, the caption is a reference to a Rober Smeigel (sp?) cartoon that used to run on Saturday Night Live. The former presidents were a secret elite fighting force known as The Ex-Presidents who were summoned when the Constitution became sentient and went on a rampage.
And it is funny.
Er, sorry, that’s X-Presidents.
I’m glad someone else out there watched SNL back then.
Ripping off a funny cartoon does not make this LOLame any better.
In fact, the blatant plagiarism makes it worse. It was a pretty funny cartoon on SNL though. I think it was made back when Reagan was still alive, so it was even funnier. Don’t quote me on that.
I have done better. *shrug*
Seriously, if the lol doesn’t amuse the easily amused it probably isn’t funny. *jingles keys in front of Rando to amuse him*
*eyes light up* Ooooooo…shiny.
Pfft, I may be easily amused but it takes more than oh those are nice and jingly aren’t they…
Wow two flame pushes in this post.
1. Are these all Presidents?
2. Is Ford dead?
AWESOMENESS OF LOL!!!
so who plays what instrument??? the ex-presidents sounds like a cool name for a group…
The Dead Presidents is a much better name. Although the existence of The Dead Kennedys may negate it as an option.
There are enough dead Kennedys to make a rival band at this point. And the Presidents of the USA were an awesome band back in the 90s.
Millons of peaches…peaches for me.
I thought it was “The Presidents of the United States of America” all spelled out like that?
Yeah, I think that’s right. I’m not spelling the whole thing out. LOL
Non-lazy person-ist
Wait…what?
A little blind spider took the wheel
Navigatin’ grass blades completely by feel
Got a sassy chassis, sparklin in the sun
All four small bald fat tires
rockin through the sand and burnin’ up
I’m surprised they let Ford that near the stairs.
Gerald Ford’s death was faked so to hide his true identity as CLUMSYMAN.
Not to mention, moments later Ford fell down the steps…..again.
I really don’t want to see any of them in yellow spandex.
Win.
