Friday Funnies

Will the auto bailout work?

Comments

[Episiarch]

This cartoon is a better illustration of the Friday Funnies than it is of what it purports to be.

[jester]

If you drop acid and stare at it for 20 min., the meaning will become very very clear.

[Elemenope]

Weak!

[domoarrigato]

boo. D+ reversion to the mean...

[Untermensch]

Come on guys. It's still better than Marmaduke, so I give it a passing grade. (Although it's hard to imagine what would fail that standard: I'm defining dumb down.)

[ed]

It's funnier without the caption.
D-

[Guy Smiley]

The driver should have a name tag that says, "Unions".

[John-David]

My Friday Funny was watching Jon Stewart tear Jim Cramer a new one last night.

[Nick]

Untermensch, cancer and AIDS both suck. Which one gets the passing grade?

[Nick]

My Friday Funny was Syracuse beating UConn in 6 OT's, game took so long it ended on Friday.

[Bingo]

All of the Friday Funnies comments are always the same. Now that's funny!

[Art-P.O.G.]

Hmmm...not bad, really. And as Untermensch points out way funnier than Marmaduke. And as a corollary* to what Bingo said, like this thread, Marmaduke is an exercise in dreadful repetition.

*mathematicians, please don't kill me. I'm trying.

[Art-P.O.G.]

(Although it's hard to imagine what would fail that standard: I'm defining dumb down.)

Anything that fails the Marmaduke standard is technically a war crime.

[Elemenope]

*mathematicians, please don't kill me. I'm trying.

We use corollaries in Philosophy too, so you're safe.

[Elemenope]

Anything that fails the Marmaduke standard is technically a war crime.

Coming from a soldier in a war zone, that's...harsh.

[sage]

Haiku day today
Show me what you got, bitches!
Sorry, off topic

[SugarFree]

There is no topic
More important, more vital
Than Friday haiku

[Episiarch]

Anything that fails the Marmaduke standard is technically a war crime.

Best description of Cathy I've ever heard.

[Episiarch]

Oh Cathy Guisewite
Why do you hate me so much
You are comic whore

[Xeones]

Statement is half true:
It is actually Friday.
Funny? Not so much.

[SugarFree]

Marmaduke sucks ass
But, sadly, Friday Funnies
Fail to be better

[Episiarch]

You don't understand
Marmaduke is big red dog
Do you get it now?

[Xeones]

Marmaduke, i heard
So much coke in the 80s
His nipple fell off

(thanks, Achewood.)

[sage]

You have it wrong, dude
Clifford is the big and red
That dog must poop huge

[SugarFree]

Fat Cathy: "AACK, AACK!"
"The bikini is too small!"
Irving: "Lose weight, sow."

[Xeones]

Dog guano exports
Major economic deal
In Clifford's hometown

[Episiarch]

Clifford, Marmaduke
These things are best left to suits
in Washington, dude

[Episiarch]

Homer Simpson shocked
Cathy is woman, he asks?
To be honest, who knows?

[SugarFree]

Lecherous Pinkley
Cathy's atrocious boss
The only one I like

[P Brooks]

giant piles of shit

the sound of GM dying

no boo hoo from me

[SugarFree]

Cathy? A woman?
Could have fooled me... Women should
not be shaped like tubes

[Episiarch]

Cathy Guisewite sucks
Got Emmy in '87
Is Emmy worthless?

[P Brooks]

naughty marmaduke

cathy gets some puppy love

go marmaduke go

[Lefiti]

What's really funny is how right-wing market fundies cling to the same old bromides no matter what happents in the real world.

[Episiarch]

Lefiti is cool
I want to be just like him
But my hands chafe fast

[Low-Brow]

Nancy Pelosi
Plays Harry Reid of
Barack Obama

[Xeones]

Shorter Lefiti:
"Pay attention to me, waahhh!"
What a fucking douche.

[domoarrigato]

Haiku writing fools
ignore the master calling
the days grow longer

[Xeones]

Way to bash our fun,
Domoarrigato, with
Lines cribbed from Japan

[crimethink]

Sorry to tell you
That the date for Haiku Day
Was In December.

[Episiarch]

This has to be done:
Uh, Domo arrigato,
Mister Roboto

[crimethink redux]

Sorry to tell you
That the date for Haiku Day
Was In December.

[Art-P.O.G.]

re: PBrooks @ 9:44

Now that's funny. Or am I just sick?

[Preston]

Haha, he's all bloody.

[Xeones]

Whatever, crimethink
I am libertarian
I do what i want

[crimethink]

Libs wear Santa garb
With July sun beating down?
That would be silly

[P Brooks]

eye of beholder

that is where the sickness lies

my hands remain clean

[domoarrigato]

crimethink says the time
for haiku has passed but knows
it will come again

[SugarFree]

Every day can be
Haiku Day, if you open your
heart to it, crimethink

[Cindhi]

Am I the only one that got a good chuckle out of this one? Wow...I thought it was rather entertaining...not the best but definately one that was dead on...

[SugarFree]

Cindhi, hating the
Funnies makes us forget how
much we hate ourselves.

[Reinmoose]

The Friday Funny
it doesn't make any sense
big fucking surprise

[Xeones]

Hey Cindhi, see,
All commentary should be
In haiku format

[Episiarch]

Cindhi has ruined
Our haiku day with laughter
Now we hate on her

[domoarrigato]

bonus points are had
for alluding to seasons
as all haiku do

[Xeones]

Pedantic domo:
"Silly gaijin, not like that!"
Dude, it's Friday, chill.

[domoarrigato]

Haiku are more fun
when rules are followed my friend
I am white as snow

[P Brooks]

obey rules he sez

how unlibertarian

go sit in corner

[Cindhi]

SugarFree isn't it
More fun to
discuss and disect?

[Cindhi]

Episiarch really?
Shove it deep
My lovely commentator.

[SugarFree (Now With Emo Emulat]

A cold, cold winter
has hardened my heart, Cindhi
now I wear only black

[Art-P.O.G.]

Oh we can only
Comment in Haiku format?
My prose is wayward.

[SugarFree (Now With Emo Emulat]

Episiarch's never
really very "really," Cindhi
black velvet clown tears

[Episiarch]

Cindhi, your meter
is wrong; it's five-seven-five
I just shoved it deep?

[domoarrigato]

blushing maid Cindhi
invites a chilly response
from her secret crush

[tarran]

Haikus are pointless
Electrical Generator
too long for last line

[Xeones]

tarran, five eight five?
No rule can contain you, man
Watch out for domo

[Loa Tzu]

Haiku are more fun
when rules are followed my friend
I am white as snow"

A Winner!

[Lao Tzu]

I have no idea why it did that.

[Xeones]

Loa Tzu, goddamn
SugarFreed a cut 'n' paste
How does that happen?

[SugarFree]

I take credit for
bad links, but cut n' paste is
not my bailiwick

[brotherben]

I do like me some haiku
unfortunatly
my counting is dyslexic

[Cindhi]

My gleeful heart flys
As I lovingly and ternderly
Tell "Ep" to shove it!

[Spoonman]

Can we still call it
joe'z law of the internets?
Don't summon him now.

[P Brooks]

Lao Tzu's trickery

masterful intertube ploy

how does he do it

[Episiarch]

What the fuck Lao Tzu?
Cindhi you wound me dearly
You shoved so very hard

[Cindhi]

Sweet SugerFree, I
Will do my best to humor
The gaiety here on

[Xeones]

Ah, but SugarFree
Memetic evolution!
"Lao Tzued," not as fun

[SugarFree]

Xeones, but "Laoed" or
"Lao'd!" has its subtle charms, right?
Let the crowd decide.

[Cindhi]

Wounded Episiarch
Wouldn't deservingly so,
But call a gentle truce

[Nick]

Friday Funnies suck.
In other news, babies are
Reportedly cute.

[Xeones]

Cindhi's desire to
Violate Epi's anus
Is hilarious

[Episiarch]

If only gentle
Had been your approach Cindhi
My ass wouldn't hurt

[Reinmoose]

Just face it Epi
You actually like Cindhi's
violation, whore

[P Brooks]

you think ass hurts now

bipartisanship will come

much more pain for all

[crimethink]

Sex and violence
Have no place in Haiku, friends
Instead welcome spring

[fucke]

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

[Kolohe]

Lao Tzu's point was that
this has all happened before,
will happen again.

[JW Gacy]

Unloved Lefiti.
Overinflated ego.
That's embarrassing.

[JW Gacy]

Matt Welch was so wrong
In his tweet the other day.
This thread is the wins.

[Jamie Kelly]

Barack Obama
The Negro has gone quite mad
"Hope" is shit on bread

[Jamie Kelly]

My new Reason vow:
No more profanities here;
Ah, fuck that cunt shit

[economist]

I drink way too much
Then I come to haiku thread
and compose haiku

[Johnny Nowhere]

Friday Funnies scrawl
Worth one hundred responses?
Ha! Haiku fun time.

[Francesco Sinibaldi]

Like an oak in a fantasy.

The yellow
sand appears
in my mind
with a rumbling
and delicate
look; you call
me near a
sylvan hedge,
and everything
shines like a
taciturn wind.

Francesco Sinibaldi

[Scarpe Nike]

is good
