Hahahaha! Dhoti it’s for you!
Oh wait, I mean FIRST! Ordinal me!
The Dhotī or Doti in Hindi, called Dhotiyu in Gujarati, Suriya in Assamese, Vaytti or Veshti in Tamil, Dhuti in Bangla, Dhoti or Kachche Panche in Kannada, Dhotar, Angostar, Aad-neschey or Pudve in Konkani, mundu in Malayalam, Dhotar in Marathi, Laacha in Punjabi and Pancha in Telugu is the traditional men’s garment in Indian subcontinent. It is a rectangular piece of unstitched cloth, usually around 7 yards long, wrapped around the waist and the legs, and knotted at the waist.
In northern India, the garment is worn with a Kurta on top, the combination known simply as “dhoti kurta”, or a dhuti panjabi in the East. In Tamil Nadu, it is worn with an angavastram (another unstitched cloth draped over the shoulders) or else with a chokka (shirt) in Andhra Pradesh or jubba (a local version of kurta). The lungi is a similar piece of cloth worn in similar manner, though only on informal occasions. The lungi is not as long and is basically a bigger version of a towel worn to fight the extremely hot weather in India. The sarong is another similar item of clothing.
See, this is why you can’t trust wikipedia — it actually means “he who fights tigers”. (+1 Internets for anyone who gets the reference.)
Look over there! *steals Dhoti’s internets and runs away giggling*
Change in topic, but wanted it high up:
We are all geeks here, what is people’s take of the New Cpt America comic book pretty much making fun of Tea Baggers, or tongue in cheek calling them racist?
I personally don’t think that Politicizing needs to be in Cpt America (put in Graphic Novels). To Cpt America is both liberal or conservative, b/c he represents America, not “liberal” or “conservative” America. If anything he would be against any of the “petty” bickering we do.
That’s fair, and with a “name” book like Cptn America I’d agree. There is a place for politics in graphic novels (see V [for Vendetta]) but they need to have original characters and stand alone from the “real World”.
My take is this; So it’s partisan. So what? It’s ok to be partisan when the Repubs are in control, but not when the Dems are? The writers are obviously liberals, and they still have the right to express themselves. Free speech. You know, that thing you conservatives like to squawk about?
Translation: *knee jerk*
Well, you ARE a jerk. I never met your knee though, so I can’t tell if it’s a jerk as well.
That’s what you’ve got? Really? Go back to screaming “dissent is no longer patriotic” or whatever.
To be fair Dhoti, I don’t recall a Dem calling Republican dissent unpatriotic per say… hypocritical, ignorant, narrow minded, and selfish perhaps, but I don’t see many Dems going for the unpatriotic angle… I have been known to miss these things from time to time though. I am a dirty furriner after all.
Sadly, it’s a common theme here from whichever party is in power. The administration or the party never says it directly, of course; they rely on their flacks to get the message across. For example, a NYT columnist calling McCain “the unpatriotic opposition”. It’s not an isolated incident.
I’m just enjoying the irony of Ivan, who champions forcibly silencing people who are even just a tiny bit religious (except for liberals), suddenly championing free speech and the unfettered exchange of ideas.
I don’t want the religious nuts silenced! It’s too much fun to mock them! Geez!
Your logic is rivaled only by your comprehension skills.
Superior Troll thinks he’s superior.
Well, when you get the original meme entirely wrong, and then defend it so badly, it’s hard not to feel a little superior. (And just so you know, calling me a fu(kweasel will only make it worse.)
Green Beard,
I’ll give you that they haven’t used the word “unpatriotic”. Instead, they’ve called the tea party activists Nazi’s, an attempt for “mob rule”, and several other names. They didn’t use “unpatriotic”. Instead, they labelled with words that people associate with unpatriotic. So, no, they didn’t SAY it, they just super strongly IMPLIED it.
Of course, there WAS an “unamerican” comment by Pelosi, but I guess we’ll skip that one.
I’m certainly not arguing that it might be implied, just never used explicitly. Semantics and all…
Of course the writers have the right to express themselves. I just think that it’d be better for the comic book if they kept to more universal themes (as ILPB suggests). I know this might be controversial amongst us geeks, but Lucas had the right to use Jar Jar Binks to ruin our memories of Star Wars. That doesn’t mean it was a wise decision or one we should applaud.
Jar Jar: bad
Jar Jar saying “meesa wanna cap-and-trade okey dokey!”: way worse
i don’t think a widespread “comic” of any sort should be that partisan… liberal or conservative. had it been spouting conservative ideals i wouldn’t be thrilled either.
but as a point of clarification, i’ve never read capt america… so i’m not sure if it’s always had a partisan lean to it. based on the title alone i think it should be smack down the middle though, no matter the affiliation of the writers.
Captain America used to have issues where people were writing in to Marvel telling them that they expected Cap to either be A) Over in Iraq bashing down doors and beating up terrorists, or B) Standing on street corners protesting against the patriot act, depending on the political views of the people writing in. This is the reason they killed Cap off in the first place. They just happen to have brought him back at a time when he and the other mainstream avengers are the “underground” resisting against H.A.M.M.E.R’s hardline control of the US. This means that as such, Steve has come back as a very much liberal character, but once Dark Reign is over, he’ll probably go back to straddling the fence again, or he’ll quit his role as Captain America like he did during ‘Nam.
Feh. He should have stayed dead.
One thing only: Captain America has always had a strong moral component to his story line. There may have been a time when those morals were non-partisan (during WWII for instance), but I would argue that the current story lines, as they have been conveyed to me in news articles, are only considered partisan because one party has completely lost it’s moral compass in some very glaring areas. Seriously, do you see Captain America torturing prisoners? Supporting warrantless wiretapping? The old Captain America held to a set of morals that the right wing in our party currently believe they follow. The left, of course, found him shallow and jingoistic.
I’d love to see the conservatives in our country move back to good old WWII era values again.
My reply keeps getting eaten — part of the vast left-wing conspiracy, I’m sure — but the gist was me laughing at your characterization of right-wingers when Obama is seeking warrantless wiretaps of cell phone triangulation information and stepping all over the Fourth Amendment.
I doubt this concerns you, because just like it was only “torture” until Nancy Pelosi signed off on it, it’s also only warrantless search as long as it can be blamed on a Republican.
Well, thanks for confirming for me that you are incapable of disagreeing without being disagreeable.
In truth, Obama’a continuation of warrantless wiretapping was one of the first things he did that really bother me. He’s also being shady about releasing White House visitor logs, and generally *not* rolling back the vast expansion of executive power Bush II initiated. I’m not surprised, but I’m very disappointed.
Re: torture. I’ve always been opposed to it, just like I’ve always opposed invading nations by choice. I don’t understand where Pelosi enters the equation at all.
Finally, if you weren’t so cowardly and unpleasant, you would gave read my post in the PK group yesterday expressing my disappointment with the Obama administration over cell phone tracking. But then, we’d all find you’re just an empty suit, wouldn’t we?
Typical — rather than owning up to your ingrained hypocrisy and moral cowardice, you blame it on the big, bad messenger. Are you going to threaten to report me to the admins again for telling the truth?
So, let me get this straight: when it’s a Republican performing warrantless searches, you rant and rave and protest and complain about the evil “right wing” for the next decade. But when a Democrat does it, you (allegedly) post weakly worded comments of dissatisfaction on an anonymous Internet forum — and even then, you have to be called out to do it.
Morally bankrupt nutroots like you make me physically ill. I can’t believe my vote counts as much as your rubber stamp.
“Obama is seeking warrantless wiretaps of cell phone triangulation information”
HE IS?! HOLY CRAP!!! That’s straw that breaks the camels back for me. I’m joining the next Tea Party protest and voting Paul/Kucinich in 2012.
(not sarasm, I honestly didn’t hear about this.)
It’s not a Democratic or a Republican thing, it’s a grasping government thing. But what’s far worse are people like PM, who put blind allegiance to some BS political party over the good of themselves and of the Republic.
Damnit, now the Government knows all about my yeast infection. Thanks Dhoti. Guess I’ll have to go back to Mose Code.
Damnit, now the Government knows all about my yeast infection. Thanks Dhoti. Guess I’ll have to go back to Morse Code.
Ah… Goddamn you PK. *hangs head in shame*
That’s why you have to speak in code.
“Echo Base, this is Wampa One. The bread is leaven, I repeat, leaven, over.”
I could never live on Hoth! It’s too cold! Can’t I be some desert creature.. Like a Kwi?

Luke, I thought we talked about this. I changed my code name.
Oh right. Sorry. Echo 3 to Carlos Spicyweiner.
Carlos Spicywiener?
You’d have to see the Family Guy Empire Strikes Back spoof.
ah conservatives….
don’t want any goverment so that no one will find about their affairs with prostitutes and homosexuals and all their other{read in hick accent} uhn chrissstin’ laaak behayvyuuur.
Well, Ivan, as we all know, the Republicans know what’s best for us all, so it’s actually a very good thing if they are partisan. It keeps the dirty liberals from spreading their evil across the country. Now, partisan is a terrible thing because if the liberals get their way, then the country will become more LIBERAL! And then the entire country explodes.
Well, Rando, as we all know, the Democrats know what’s best for us, so it’s a very good thing if they are partisan. It keeps the dirty conservatives from spreading their evil across the country. Now, partisan is a terrible thing because if the conservatives get their way, then the country will become less entitled. And then the entire country explodes.
*snerk*
I see what you did there.
You’re both wrong. As we all know, I know what’s best for us all, so it’s actually a very good thing if they are partisan. It keeps the dirty politically minded from spreading their evil across the country. Now, partisan is a terrible thing because if the politically minded and politically indifferent get their way, then the country will become more POLITICAL! And then the entire country explodes.
No Default you’re wrong.
It is I, da GANGSTA who knows what’s best for us all, so it’s actually a very good thing if they are partisan. It keeps the dirty bustas & wankstas from spreading their evil across the country. Now, being a wanksta is a terrible thing because if the bustas get their way, then the country will become more WANKSTA. And then the entire country explodes.
Oh fvck it all.
*blows country up*
It seemed inevitable.
Well! Remind me not to vote for you for knowing what is best for all of us!
I’d run, but I’m a dirty furiner and all… maybe I can run for Governor of something… hmmm… Montana doesn’t look to hard to annex… I mean… LOOK A SQUIRREL!!
Dude, you could annex Montana and it’d take a couple years before anyone would notice.
Montana! At least their cows are sane!
I heard that back in the 80′s when western Canada was rattling sabers about seceding from confederation there was an offer on the table to Montana and Alaska to come with us.
… bet you wish we had gone through with it now don’cha…
No! Annex Arizona!
Prepare yourself…
I agree with you.
I agree as well, though I feel compelled to point out that Cpt America was born of propaganda.
It kinda makes sense that comic books would have a strong partisan leaning. Superhero’s being the embodiment of a rather specific moral framework would tend to take up very specific causes and fight hyperbolic, almost satirically, extreme instantiations of their real-world-equivalent ideologies.
The fact that every aspect of life in America seems to get categorized in to left or right wing politics would tend to make it nearly impossible to avoid coming off as partisan attack.
Why, you, you…wait a minute… *uses right-left thermometer to check GB* It just keeps showing C? What the heck is a C doing on my thermometer?
It means Celsius. GB is obviously a member of the evil Centerist Celsius Party.
Stupid furrin thermometer! *stomps off to find proper ‘Merican thermometer*
Just as an aside, have any of you guys ever read Preacher by Garth Ennis? An absolute tour de force. The most amazing comic run ever.
I’ve read some of it, but haven’t had time to really get into it sadly. It was very good from what I did read. Though my favourite comic line of all time is always going to be Sandman.
A friend lent me the whole series in TPB. I sat down to start it and didn’t get up till it was done…sucked me in that hard. I’m casual with Sandman but what I’ve read is VERY good. I’m also very partial to Deadpool…and the last two or three runs of Hulk have been amazing.
If that is what it actually means then you might want to tell all the other web sites, including the Indian ones. It would appear only you seem to thinks it means this. Please give 1 site that can verify your claim that it “actually” means “he who fights tigers”.
I was going to do one on teabagging, but there was too much to fix for the censors…..
LOL I bet there was.
Okay I was just on Facebook because I haven’t been there for like 2 weeks and I have a bunch of Farmville gifts.
But I need some help. I have NO IDEA what I’m doing on that thing! How do you play that game?
The best thing to do is just not play. It gets out of control…yet boring.
Farm-ist
I’m a recovered Farmville addict. Now I can’t even deal with it anymore. Too much work for a damn online game.
Did you go through a 12-step program for that? And did THEY have pie?
damn you. beat me to the joke
Q8<
They may not, but I have pie……
FAA = farmville addict anonymous. i’m with you in your fight against this ebilness. we meet every tuesday on facebook group – fight_FAA. join us?
Wouldn’t ‘fight FAA” = people against curing Farmville addiction?
I’ve never given in to the temptation to join. My son told me it was like Harvest Moon (sort of) and I’m already addicted to that on the DS.
I spent about 5 minutes on it when my daughter was showing me how to use facebook, and then I thought the time might be better spent looking after my actual garden.
Sigh….I live in a condo….no garden.
Chia Pet?
I killed it. No garden, no green thumb either.
That’s like killing a weed, my GOD, could you come take care of my “lawn” this summer?
My services may be for hire. What are the pay and benefits like?
Well since I’m a greedy conservatvie and your Canadian I’ll pay you in Hockey tickets and beer. And Sicne you’re Canadian you already have health care, however I will give you dental, from Dr. Rando DDS.
As long as they’re Flames tickets, we have a deal.
Nucky, just watch out for those inverted commas, is all I’m sayin’.
Oh, good point, Kiethy. Um, ILPB, what exactly is your “lawn”? I will need a detailed description before I sign anything.
Jesus needs tea bags? Are they decaf or regular?
Durr. Jesus don’t need no steenking teabags! He can turn water into tea!
Real tea doesn’t come in a bag anyways! *hugs jar of loose leaf tea* There there, it’s okay, no one is going to bag you.
Did you know Karl Marx only ever drank herbal and decaffeinated tea?
He used to say ‘all proper tea is theft’..
No, that was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Joseph_Proudhon)
Yeah, but he said it in French.
*giggle, snort*
I thought the whole tea-thing was about money? No? It’s about religion? Did Obama steal my religion? Or he’s going to? Wait, he’s going to tax it, is that the deal? I’m so confused.
I started trying to figure out how she was going to actually teabag someone, but I found myself unable to go very far down that path (mental images and all).
Taxing is stealing!11!!1!! What if people like Obama HAD STOLEN BABY JESUS!?!?!
…
Ah well, I tried.
Wouldn’t he just tax the gold, and arrest the other two kings for possession of controlled substances?
Frankincense and myrrh are controlled substances?
I’m thinking she didn’t take the same logical approach you did, in her sign’s slogan selection. Just guessing…
Irrationality? In politics?! surely not.
religion + politics = fun to joke about, but scarey to witness
Weird. Everyone gets stalkers but me. I guess I’m just not cool enough.
I don’t get any either. Wanna stalk me? I’ll stalk you back!
I’ll stalk both of you, if you like (but I have to run it by the spousal-unit first, if that’s ok).
Ok. Here’s my address…
You live in an ellipsis?
Yeah.. Don’t you? It’s my ellipsis in the moat!
*logs on to Adam & Eve and starts typing* Charro…Bottom of the Sea…
Watch your mail!
Hee hee.. It’s a moat!
I’m an evil capitalist and I want to watch the poor suffer! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!
No, no, no. Froo’s evil twin is an evil bleeding heart liberal who wants the government to take all your money because you don’t need it anyways.
Oh.. Right.
I want the Government to take away my freedoms and give my money to welfare queens! I want to work hard while my drug dealing neighbors who do nothing and sponge off the Government! Free Health Care for all! Nanny State and so forth!
WHAT? Don’t you know the greatest thing about this greatest country is that everyone gets the glorious opportunity to earn their health care? Make ‘em all fight for it, I say! Hell, it’s not expensive enough! Health care isn’t a right, it’s a privilege! It’s right there in the constitution, which is the greatest document ever. I’m trying to get it added to the bible!
Dammit, I thought I locked you in the basement.
The Rando in the Iron Mask….. played by Leonardo DiCaprio…
STFU YOU!
Ooo. Nesting fail! Sorry! That was for my evil twin.
Leo is gonna be playing me? Sounds good.
Isn’t he one of them bleeding heart commie liberals or something? I don’t want him playing me! I want his holiness Glenn Beck to play me in the movie. Michael Moore can play that jackass “good Rando.”
Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps doesn’t work! We all need Government handouts and forced charity! It’s the only thing that will save us!
No! You all need your gov’ment to take away all of your rights, and let the corporations run the country! No Taxes! Deregulation! Jebus for President! *frothfrothfroth*
Yeah, you! STFU!
Wait, taxes aside, what does Jesus have to do with taxation? The Tea Party movement is about money, not religion.
You missed the memo — religion has no place in politics, therefore religious people have no place in politics, and since some of the tea partiers are Christians, therefore they need to be marginalized.
If you want a stalker, we’re gonna have to do something about that wardrobe.
This wardrobe?
Yeah, lose the necklaces. They’re blocking our view.
Ok, I tried finding a better.. nakeder picture, but searching for “naked little mermaid” makes me feel kinda weird.
OH GODDAMNIT I’M A TERRIBLE SOCK.
I’m a great sock, because I’M AN AMERICAN SOCK! And ONLY American socks are awesome!
*disolves into giggles at this and the previous thread*
*spills Proletariat Potion on froo*
Hee hee!
YEEK!!!! GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!!!!!!!
Oh noes! froo! What has your evil twin done?
Here, I have this capitalist thing left over from the snafu earlier.. Maybe Eds could apply it for you?
*grabs the Holy Water of Capitalism and drinks it a la Dr. Jones from The Temple of Doom*
GASP
Ah, that’s better. Feel the coporate greed and unecessary opression of the common man! That’s good stuff!
*sniffs* I hear it’s made out of the tears of unicorns….
Thank gods, I was afraid for you there.
The tears of unicorns, the pots of leprecaun gold, and the dew from liberal brains. It’s rare stuff.
Now, Proletariat Juice, on the other hand, is pretty plentiful, considering it’s made from the blood of liberal hearts…..
Just reading that made my heart bleed enough to make another batch of proletariat potion.
Dude, I wondered why that guy was following me around with that bottle.
“Tea”: legalize it! Now!
No way man! I’m running a tea-ring here in Florida, and with the ratio of little old ladies combined with the red-neck iced-tea crowd, I’m getting RICH!
Psst….Ivan, could you ship me a little of that black cinnamon. Just a little something to tide me over. I’m hurtin’ here, man.
First one is always on the house.
*cough, splutter, choke*
Some dam’ fine smokin’, too.
Dammit, Keith, you smoked my tea?!?!?
Do the little old men know about this?
Talkin’ bout tea, try this!
Yay Keithybabes – this is epic funny!!
If ignorance is so blissful, why are Obama voters and liberals in general such a miserable bunch of whiners? Considering some of the stupid $hit you people say, you really shouldn’t be making fun of other people “ignorance”
IE: global “warming” is real, you can tell by the 3 feet of snow etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
I’m still waiting for all you religion haters to say what you say about Christians and Jews to the religion that wants to kill you…all of you, especially the biggest liberals who are dumb enough to defend them.
Bush spent money, Bush BAD, Obama spends 5 times as much in 1 year, Obama GOOD….you’re right, ignorance is bliss.
HOW, we got a troll clean-up here on aisle 4. Could you please take care of this?
*claps gleefully*
I get to use my M1A! I get to use ILBPs present! Yay!
*blows ignorant conservatroll with RPG*
Hey Andy, I made sure the head was intact for what little brains you can get.
*push troll head around with toe* Yeeeeah, there’s really not much here. Maybe Andy could have it as an appetizer?
Actually…Andy and I had a fight yesterday, it was pretty bad. We both said some things we didn’t mean, and I may have hinted that he was…overweight….so he’s not speaking to me and he’s on a diet.
Well, I have some fudge and some Xanax.. Will that help?
*looks up* Uh, you’re all out of fudge…and Xanax.
Crap, my post got et! If it hadn’t been eaten I’d have been here in time for fudge and drugs. *sulks*
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Might make a good football(soccer ball). Likely full of hot air.
No thanks, I’m not hungry
*looks at DU out of corner of eye*
Don’t be silly Andy, you are most certainly not fat. Look at you, you’re practically all hanging, decaying, skin and protruding bones.
No no, I could stand to lose a few pounds I guess.
*tears off love handles*
There.
Zombification: The latest crash diet.
“I can’t believe it’s not brains” is doing good things in the zombie market
I don’t know, I think we should examine it in its native habitat first. It seems to be claiming that the woman isn’t displaying any sort of ignorance, but rather than providing a cogent argument to support this, it is simply lashing out using ridiculous, out-of-context rants in a sort-of ad-hominem fashion. Quite fascinating, really. I think perhaps it’s a lesser Blue Hills mountain troll, or possibly a forest troll of some kind, but I could be way off (not really my area of expertise and all).
LOL!
Global warming is real! The cause is obvious to anyone who is willing to look.
“The cause is obvious”
The methane Abba Dabba is spewing from his face?
^^meant to add – click
That too!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! We need to recruit more pirates!
PS, my FB language is set to Pirate.
Avast me fishy darlin’! Yer a fine wench and I be proud to call ye one of our own.
Of course it’s obvious. Global warming is caused by Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. Without them that heat energy would still be trapped on bazillions of backsides as unsightly bulges the way the good Lord intended it , but NOOOOOOO, they have to set it free and mess up a perfectly good thing.
You’re so nearly right. The problem isn’t a lack of pirates though; it’s a lack of licenced privateers. Our governments need to start issuing more Letters of Marque now!!
Heeehehehe. No, sorry, your troll attempt fails. When you go that far into trying to appear stupid, it loses any credibility.
SILENCE! I KEEL YOU!
You’re making those of us here that ARE conservative look like raving lunatics. Please take your spooge elsewhere you basement dwelling crotchwaffle.
Yeah stop making me look crazy.
*pets Sqwirk* You do that well enough on your own.
Any other liberal stereotypes you want to bash? Aren’t we all commies or something too? And all the Muslims want to kill us? I’ll make sure to ask my coworkers to spare me. I didn’t know they’re all trying to kill me. Go figure. As for global warming, you go ahead and believe whatever you want to believe. The planet doesn’t give a fvck if you think it’s happening or not. Just because it still snows doesn’t mean it’s not happening. I guess the entire planet has to be a sauna before dipsh!ts like you will believe anything.
As for comparing Bush to Obama, I’m not thrilled with Obama’s first year, but I’ll still take it over any given year under Bush.
Enjoy your fear mongering, but know this…
No one cares what you think. But it is fun to rant at you sometimes.
They can’t help it. They’re playing checkers while the world plays chess. If they hear warming they expect deserts ignorant of the fact that weather has so many factors that slight change has it screwed up one way or another.
Global climate changes are way too complex for most of us to even begin to understand, and when someone is already hellbent on not believing it, they’re not even gonna try to understand it. And I’m sure the likes of Beck or Limbaugh aren’t going to understand the first thing about it.
I’m still waiting for the mini ice age that was predicted by these same scientists 35 years ago. I don’t think there are many people who dispute that there is global climate change (funny how it is now climate change and not global warming now). The debate is if it is caused by humans. To ignore that global climate change is not politically motivated is stupid and if as you say it is way too complex for most of us to even begin to understand, then why do you believe in it? Because Al Gore said so? Or because the UN said so?
Technically the long term trend is warming, but near term effects are… erratic at best. Global Warming, as a term, sets an unrealistic expectation that short term variations in weather will always tend toward the high side. Climate Change is a vaguer term, but is less likely to cause confusion.
The fact that humans are having a measurable impact is not contested in any real way, it’s the extent to which we are influencing it. Conservative estimates (not the political grand standing, or fringe science) show almost negligible impact but may be overestimating the self-regulatory mechanisms, many of which we don’t understand very well. More drastic estimates suggest our impact will rapidly overwhelm many of the self regulation mechanisms, so these are also likely wrong.
And as for the mini-ice age… if the closest thing to a scientific journal you are getting your information from is Scientific American, or National Geographic, then expect to get fleeced regularly by fringe/pseudo-science.
(And for the love of the flying spaghetti monster can we please stop letting Gore keep inserting him self in to this, that man makes me want to loose my politeness…)
*faints at mere thought of GB becoming uncivil*
We stupid liberals defend your religion just as much as we’d defend a Muslim practicing their’s. And when big business wants to screw you out of your best interests IE-poluting your backyard and your children’s future), we’ll still be on your side…even if you’ve already been tea-bagged into being on their side. And when a “conservative” President runs this country’s economy into the ground, us liberals will still be here to clean it up. Call me names all you want, it makes you seem pity, unreasonable, and without an ounce of creditibility.
(sp) petty… and without… credibility….*SERENITY NOW!!!!*
Global warming causes greater snowfall. Crack a book, cure your ignorance.
It causes more snowfall, less snowfall, colder winters, warmer winters, colder summers, warmer summers, bad hurricane seasons, mild hurricane seasons, indigestion, weight loss, anal seepage, watery eyes, and congestion.
What she said. *nods*
Also, remember, guys, if global warming causes you to experience an erection lasting longer than 4 hours, call your doctor immediately.
…or Craig Ferguson.
Wait, call Craig Ferguson if you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours or call your doctor if you have a Craig Ferguson lasting longer than four hours?
In short yes (as least on points 1 through 6). Nature in all its forms is far more complicated than any one human being could possibly understand. We in most cases won’t see what the final outcome is going to be until we are dealing with the aftermath. What models we have of global warming scenarios are built mostly off proxy data since the last major warming period most people were more concerned with surviving than recording the effects, and most probably didn’t even realize the climate was significantly warmer.
The anthropogenic side of things is even less well understood. Current models suggest that it will amplify the effects, though to what degree is indeterminate. So yes if it was going to be a warm winter due to natural warming then it will be an even warmer winter. If it was going to be a bitterly cold winter, then it will likely be even colder than expected, or possibly colder at lower latitudes and warmer further north, or possibly the complete inverse of what is expected.
*goes out to sunbathe in his quite pleasant 40 °F temperatures*
It’s the anthropogenic side of things that pisses everyone on my side off. We’re not denying climate change. Of COURSE there’s climate change, any idiot can see that. How much and what direction is up for some debate, but it’s there. The science on climate change is shaky and is in no way definitive, and man-caused climate change is virtually non-existant.
Especially considering the rather large chunks of data that have been thrown out due to “irregularities” in the last couple of months, I’d say that running around screaming “ZOMG MAN IS KILLING US!!!” is a bit premature. I’m all for safer, cleaner, better ways of doing things, but let’s not shut down life as we know it over something that we’re not sure of. Please?
(side note, I’m not arguing this out of malice so please don’t misinterpret my statements as a personal attack)
No data was thrown out, the emails in question were investigated yes, but independent investigations have cleared the findings. What has been cast as scientific misconduct by the opposition is a fairly standard practice when presenting data to the public. While the loss of significant chunks of original samples shows an unacceptable level of due care and competence, the meta data has proven sufficiently verifiable by independent means.
No one who has actually read and understands the claims believes man is solely responsible for what is happening only that we are amplifying the problem. The main problem in the climate change debate is not the science, its the hyperbolic fear mongering. I understand why it’s being done. People react far stronger when they are being told New York will be under water in 20 years than when they are told the coast line will recede by several yards over the course of the next 100, but putting the worst case scenario out there without clearly stating there is a significant level of uncertainty is clearly not the right solution either.
This should not be a matter of debate just because there is a significant level of uncertainty however.
Allow me to illustrate with a thought experiment. You go to sleep one night and when you wake up you are in the African Savannah. Clearly you have every reason to believe you are dreaming. You notice there is a rhinoceros charging at you. Do you ignore the potential danger, under the reasonable assumption it is a dream, or get the heck out of the way as quickly as possible on the off chance it’s not.
In the climate change issue the causes are quite clear, it’s the effects and what constitutes a reasonable response that are debatable.
Second side note, it wasn’t just the emails I was referring to. I heard a couple of weeks ago that the science used to give Al Gore and his research team a Nobel Prize was either made up or deeply flawed, and has been tossed.
And I didn’t think you were arguing out of malice…..I didn’t think you were arguing at all. Merely presenting an opposing viewpoint and backing it up with your evidence
In my world there exists this thing called an honest and respectful argument. They’re actually quite enjoyable when you get the hang of it.
As for Gore, indeed, his research team has taken more than a few liberties with the facts, and for making the science a political issue I will forever curse the ground he walks on.
I like your world. It’s very similar to mine
I think that if the global warming nut job crowd really wants to be taken seriously, they need to kidnapp Gore and duct tape him to a pike to be paraded through the city.
…and occasional lower back pain.
The only person I see whining right now, is you, sizzlechest.
Sorry, I think I missed physiology class, but shouldn’t she be clam-dipping for the J-guy?
Sex, religion, and politics….*passes out beers to everyone*, it doesn’t get any better than this.
I like how she spelt everything right.
I enjoy wheat for livestock as well! Especially in southern Europe and Western Asia.

Luke 20:25
“Well then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
Matthew 22:21
They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
Mark 12:17
And Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were amazed at Him.
IE – PAY YOUR TAXES!
EPIC BIBLE READING FAIL.
Wait, why are we talking about salad here?
Gods I love Caesar Salads..
Bah! Rabbit food.
Another reason I miss having a rabbit. Something to feed that nasty green crap to.
If i remember right. you either still have a rabbit, or you’ve replaced him with an equal if not better dolphin. batteries not included.
Oh, well, I still have the battery operated rabbit one, but it won’t eat lettuce.
I have the dolphin.
Makes sense, mermaid has a dolphin, crazy lady living in shrubbery has a rabbit.
I have an egg, how does that make sense?
Faerie.. Eggs.. Uh..
Faeries steal eggs? Um, Faeries live in eggs? You work with chickens…?
I have a unicorn and a rabbit and……well, really, there’s a lot of them….make sense out of that!
I have a Uni-brow-cornrows…
Well, that’s just a little……odd
Yeah, we did not fight our way to the top of the elolutionary ladder to eat salad!!
Elolution: The evolution of elocution.
I can haz proff-reedur?
Um, yeah we did. We fought our way to the top to be able to eat any damned thing we want! Besides, We’re omnivores.
…either a “photoshopped” or a found “photoshopped” image…both possibilities stew in contempt…
I love contempt stew with fresh photoshop…..mmmmmmmmm

Are there any points for spotting that the caption to this picture is a quote from the radio show ‘Old Harry’s Game’?
-Ash
No, but now I’m hearing it in Andy Hamilton’s voice!
It is NOT ignorance!
But….IT. IS. SPARTA!!!
I don’t know, I think the old lady’s a bit chunky to be from Sparta. Besides I thought in Sparta once they reached 35 they were fed to the Spartan Childran in training… or was that Socialists?!?!?
No, that’s “Soylent Green”.
It’s not a woman, it’s an old dude. He’s a shamed old man because he didn’t die in battle, fighting for the glory of Sparta. So, he was cast out & sent to the U.S.
Off topic but I need to verify something with the Canucks on here:
Do you seriously have a Sasquatch as one of the Vancouver Olympics’ mascots???!!!
Uh….no comment.
That’s awesome!! You’re takin the piss, aren’t you!!
Of course.
The Canadian OC was sitting around:
“Dude…you know what would be hilarious…uhm….
…
…
duuuddddeeee…
…oh…yeah…
You know what would be hilarious and soooo awesome…
A hockey-loving Sasquatch as an Olympic mascot.
Right?…Right?…Can you see it, dude?
It’s not even a real animal. Biggest joke on the rest of the world!…
High five, dude…High five…
…Do we have any D0ritos?”
Damn, it’s like you were actually there!
You’ve seen one pot-filled “planning” session you’ve seen them all.
*ahem* The Vancouver Olympic Committee denies emphatically the salicious rumours currently spreading on PK that the committee members were engaged in the use of illegal substances during the meeting to choose the official mascots of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Any and all indications to the contrary are vicious lies spread by those jealous easterners who wouldn’t know good pot if it bit them on the a……*ahem* I mean, spread by those out to discredit our fine committee.
On a completely separate note, the VOC is making an appeal to the makers of Doritos and Reese Peanut Butter Cups to become the official suppliers….um, sponsers of the VOC.
*claps, giggles*
Brava.
I’m super ticked off at the network for being sh*t-for-brains idiots and not broadcasting the US vs Canada men’s hockey game on NBC. Feck ice-dancing! I want hockey, dog-gamnit!!
HOW you have my deepest sympathies, I’ll be sure to come on and let you know tonight what the score was when we’ve finished butchering your team
Listen you syrup-sucker, I don’t need your charity!
(I’ll be watching the game on MSNBC but I’m livid that NBC is such a bunch of morans that they’d broadcast icedancing rather than what is the equivalent of the NHL all-star game!)
I’m still mad at NBC for not showing the final competition of women’s handball as promised, back in 2004. I know, I know, women’s beach volleyball is hot. But I wanted a chance to watch my father’s favorite sport with him, just once. And now it isn’t possible.
That has rather taken the glow off of the Olympics for me, permanently.
Ice dancing has females in scant clothing, hockey is a minor draw for most of the USA. NBC may be promoting pedophilia, but I think they know their audience pretty well. Myself? I’m listening to public radio during pledge week rather than watch the Olympics. Until the luge competition comes on!
You can watch it at my house.
But you know, you’re going to lose…… heehee
Silly Nucky. If you and I were at your house we would not be watching hockey.
Ooooo….would we be doing #5 on your list? *claps hands*
But I have to work tonight.
Ah! But it’s a pity the copy machine at your work has broken down *runs in with baseball bat and smashes copy machine, pulls out sharpie and writes “Acme Copy machine repair co. inc. llc.* But not to worry, I know an excellent repair service and they should have one of their technicians arriving any moment! Why look, here she is now!
edit *finishes smashing copy machine and then runs up to HOW, pulls out a sharpie and writes “Acme Copy machine repair co. inc. llc” on her shirt*
Waitwaitwait, seriously?
NBC….always finding new ways to p1ss me off.
Yes, seriously. Can you believe that??!!! Ice DANCING (not even figure skating but ice DANCING!) will be on NBC and the hockey game will be on MSNBC. F*ckers!
Ice dancing….how is that even a SPORT? Gah. (Yes, yes, I know it requires skill and physical ability blahblahblah but so does effing ballet and that’s not a sport either!)
I love you guys!
I suggested turning hockey fighting in to it’s own sport and getting that added to the list official Olympic sports, but no one seemed interested.
Ballet is an EXTREME sport. The women put pads in their toe shoes so that the audience won’t see the BLOOD!
/rant
But yeah, it should be hockey!
@GB – I would pay to watch ice hockey fighting as a separate sport. What a great idea. Heck, thanks to NBC we in the US may have to pay per view to watch ice hockey.
VG – I’d rather watch ballet than ice dancing.
Okay, now I have to stand up for the ballerinas. They have the highest pain threshold of any athlete. I remember reading about the Prima Ballerina for the New York Ballet dancing for half a season with a hairline fracture in her ankle.
You can now resume talking about that ice thingie.
Hey, I like Ice Dancing.
Okay, I looked it up for you:
Miga is a snowboarding sea bear inspired by the legends of the Pacific Northwest First Nations – tales of orca whales that transform into bears when they arrive on land. Part Spirit Bear, a rare white bear unique to BC, Miga’s outgoing spirit and high energy draw her to action and adventure.
Quatchi, a shy and gentle giant, is a sasquatch – a popular figure in local Aboriginal legends of the Pacific West Coast. Quatchi reminds us of the mystery and wonder associated with the great Canadian wilderness. Although Quatchi loves all winter sports, he’s especially fond of hockey and dreams of becoming a world-famous goalie.
Sumi is an animal spirit who wears the hat of the orca whale, flies with the wings of the mighty thunderbird and runs on the furry legs of the black bear. With a name that is derived from the Salish word ‘sumesh,’ meaning guardian spirit,’ Sumi is passionate about the environment and is a fan of all Paralympic sports.
Please note that BC’ers are famous for their pot smoking. :LOL:
“Please note that BC’ers are famous for their pot smoking”
Obviously.
Thanks for the research, sexy.
No problem, babe. Anything for you.
Anything…?
Anything…..
YES!
*starts writing out very long list: “Things to do…with/to Nucky”*
*rubs hands together gleefully* When do we get started? *peers over HOW’s shoulder* Ooooo, that’s a good one, I want to do #5 FIRST, pretty please?
*nods and grins*
Yeeesss. Excellllent. We’ll do#5 first. And people have said that #37 is impossible but we’re going to prove them wrong.
You’re going to lick your own elbows? Put it on YouTube, ok?
Oooh, I think that’s going on the list at #98.
I’m not sure if I bend that way, but I’m willing to try.
Well it sounds like you ladies like to bend both ways if you know what I mean.
I thought you had to have ribs removed to be able to do that.
That’s how barbeques get started!
*Gets the bib and cole slaw*
Gosh darnit! Now I’m hearing the song from Oliver! in my head – you’ve given me an ear-worm, dagnabbit. Maybe if I start thinking about the Annie Get Your Nug song…but then I’ll be hearing Ethyl Merman’s voice – gah.
Miga is my favorite.
A gentle-giant who wants to be a goalie? Yup, pot was involved!
I just don’t get the earmuffs… why does a sasquatch need earmuffs?
Maybe I just need a few more hoots and I’ll get it…
*puff puff pass*
Exactly, GB. And he’d make a cr@p goalie without a stick.
*takes up pass. puff puff pass*
“A gentle-giant who wants to be a goalie”
I instantly thought of Tree in “Mystery, Alaska”.
Well, there’s the very large Ben Bishop who plays in the minors for the St. Louis Blues. He’s 6’7″, but only 205 pounds, so he’s a little on the skinny side.
Someone please ask that woman to confirm that she refuses to accept Social Security and Medicare payments from the evil socialist government.
but but, she’s doing it for Jebus
Why do I have the feeling this group was created on a crazy bet, kind of like Scientology? Probably because in both cases, I’m amazed anyone falls for such drivel, and it’s always good for a laugh.
ok so im sure im about to get made fun of hardcore but im willing to take it in the hopes that someone could please explain this picture/caption to me???
Tea bagging is a sexual term referring to placing a mans ‘teabags’(if you can’t figure out what a mans tea bags are, I’ll give you one hint, it’s something women don’t have) into someones mouth, or on their face. The tea bag protesters (from the Boston tea party protests of the American Revolution) adopted/were given the name teabaggers unaware of the slang meaning it carried. This woman is obviously unaware of the sexual implications of her sign.
Teabagging is the derogatory term given by the liberal Left to describe the Tea Party Movement supporters. If you know your early American history, you understand the implications of the “Tea Parties” and what they’re representing. The Lefties knew what they were doing when they introduced such a foul slang term in everyday descriptions of the protesters. And once again, it’s interesting to see how when their side is protesting something, they’re called “patriots” by the government-run mass media. Yet when people stand up to protest their freedoms and property being stripped away by an overbearing government full of Left-wing moonbats, they’re considered “tea-baggers”. Democrats, once again showing the world that their own critical standards for everyone still don’t apply when it’s them.
As for the whole Cpt America thing… if I was Captain America, I’d have retired to a secluded island by now and given the finger to the people of this country. The people don’t deserve a hero when they aren’t willing to stand on their own two feet and do something to defend themselves first.
I find it ironic that you protest over taxes claiming it erodes individual rights while standing silently as liberal and conservative ‘representatives’ alike quietly hand over a right so fundamental it wasn’t even considered in your constitution, the right to free thought, under the guise of ever more bloated and imbalanced “Intellectual Property” laws in secret, back room, agreements and with barely a whisper in the main stream media.
How about the fact that as Captain America he would just leave? Could you be a sh!ttier hero? It’s your one goddamn job, you lazy bastard. Do you think Mother Teresa, or Gandhi, or Mandela, or MLK told the poor/disenfranchised to go f*ck themselves, they didn’t deserve his/her help?
Well, Mother Teresa tried to hand out bootstraps, but people kept having trouble using them to pull themselves up. Lazy bastards.
Well it does take several days of soaking, before you can make a good soup out of a bootstrap. Do you blame them?!
Yes I do! How dare they suck from the government teat!
You know what, pal? Fvck you. If there comes a time when the US military needs ME to fight for it, then our country is completely fvcked. I am SO not military material. There are people who are willing to defend this country (or fight in whatever pet project our government is into, Bush AND Obama, I’m talking to you). That’s great. I’m short, fat, have major hearing loss in my left ear, and blind as a bat. YOU DON’T WANT ME FIGHTING FOR YOU. So fvck you and your “do something to defend themselves.”
You right wingnut conservatrolls who have it in for all liberals are pathetic excuses for Americans. Yeah, the entire country has it out for the poor widdle conservatives. Nobody loves you. The ebil liberals are out to eat the babies of the noble, saintly conservatives who want what’s best for everyone. Do me a favor and die in a fire.
I get so sick of seeing that attitude on here. It makes me want to stay away from here.
Yeah.. I don’t want me defending the country either. I’m one of those idiots that would go totally berserk and power crazy and end up shooting someone or something I shouldn’t.
Also, how come you still get to say fvck but I can’t say f u k c?
Can we say fsck?
It does have a satisfying sound to it. Fsck, fsck, fsck!
Fu(k is still good.
Shhhhhh! If you point it out, they’ll take it away from me!
*knock knock* Mr Rando? We have a subpoena for your ‘fvck.’ Please turn it over now.
No. I’m sorry. I don’t give a fvck. And you can’t take it either.
Consarnits.
“the government-run mass media”?
I thought you were the land of the free and all that jazz? And I thought it was the “libtard mass media”? is it only when the government happens to be considered libtard that it suits to call it “government-run”?
I would call it the corporate-run media, myself. Clear Channel, Time-Warner, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch. I find it frightening how few corporations can own an operate so many media outlets, myself.
Oh, I thought you said Vicodin, I got excited for a minute.
sorry for the false alarm. Mojito? *offers pitcher and glass*
Virtual Mojito’s are ok. Thank you. *glup*
Uh oh, looks like you mis-GULPed and got it all over your teabags!
*wipes with a damp cloth soaked in club soda*
Ahem. If you don’t mind, I’m busy with her tea bags, and have been so for the last two days. If you want to rub her you’re going to have to pick another part.
I didn’t mis-gulp nothing. “Glup” is the sound I make when “gulping” a mojito. Onomatopoeia FTW!!
But I did spill.. You are correct. You’ll have to coordinate with DU on where to rub though.
Hey! How come Charro can now say Vicodin, but we can’t use Cheney’s first name?
I dunno, but I just listed off a bunch of drugs and it didn’t go through.
The moderation is really goofy lately. BTW, for the first time in a while, I made a bunch of LOLs. They probably suck, but I thought I’d try.
Gdamnit! Does this mean I have to go back into the voting to vote for them? I don’t want to wade through that cesspit of bleh and meh again….it scares me.
Faved and five’d the Palin one. Now THAT’S funny!
You could just go to Rando’s page..
Yeah. You can’t vote for them there, but you get to see them at least. And fave them. And increase my self-esteem.
*fav’s Rando*
“The people don’t deserve a hero when they aren’t willing to stand on their own two feet and do something to defend themselves first.”
Maybe “the people” have different views on what is important to defend, and what is the best way to defend it, than you do?
someone should say that in halo
So, she is ignorant because she isn’t aware of the slang, nasty, made-up definition of “teabagging”?
maybe you’re ignorant of what the word ignorant means…..

I’m gonna need one of them thar screen protectors now.
I don’t know if I would actually consider this a stereotype in these places as such or just wishful thinking.
I heard that Asian girl’s buttcr@cks go sideways like their eyes do. Is that a stereotype or wishful thinking?
Don’t we all dream of a magical place of endless alcohol, loose morals and easy women… I don’t know about you but that’s why I come on the Internet.
It depends. Are they standing up, or lying down?
so a stereotype then? i only mentioned the vertical or horizontal axis of Asian girls butt cracks. Regardless, i’d like to know more about this strange dreamland you speak of…is it in Texas?
I’ve tried to come on the Internet. It never gets past my computer screen. *SPLAT!*
I suppose you’re right wicket, it is indeed a stereotype, albeit one not perpetrated out of hate, just juvenile hedonism. As for the dream land, I haven’t tried looking in Texas yet, but I have some promising leads in back woods British Columbia.
Juvenile? How dare you!
Who said there’s anything wrong with being juvenile, I highly recommend it on a regular basis.
and on a side note thbbppppp
I agree.
*walks off behind a building and barfs*
Is that why girls call his name out so much when it’s happening?
Yes.
That joke is so old it has Alzheimer’s.
Rando isn’t old! He wouldn’t know that! Sheesh.
