Friday Funnies

The Indy 500 goes green

[SIV]

When was the Obama car tethered to the windmill on here?
That cartoon didn't FAIL like this one.

[Kyle Jordan]

Well, they could always make it more a race of cunning instead of speed.

You know, add obstacles and whatnot. Grizzly bears, crocodiles, motes with sharks to jump, gorillas with rattan sticks, and blind guys pumped full of whiskey and PCP with scythes.

Don't forget the fire and/or land mines.

[anarch]

The guys in the teaser pic looked like jockeys, so I expected...

[Fat Freddie\'s Cat]

Why isn't there a picture of Sarah Palin in the stands, with her blouse unbuttoned, screaming Drill Baby Drill?

[domoarrigato]

Don't forget that the sharks will have fricking laser beams.

oh, and C-

[underzog]

I notice that Hit and Run didn't comment on the holocaust denier's shooting/murder at the holocaust museum.

Hit and Run may not comment upon it for fear of offending its anti-Semitic audience at so-called "Reason" magazine or Hit and Run does not comment upon it because it does not want to tip its hand in such an ugly manner.

Whatever, most of so-called "Reason" is evil (Michael Moynihan being somewhat of an exception). The tolerance toward the Muslims of their anti-Semitism, plus its cheerleading by so-called "Reason" magazine helps contribute to the atmosphere of murders and attempted murders of Jews.

You Rhoemites count yourselves proud 😐

"There's no need to fear. Underzog is here!"

[and...]

The tolerance toward the posters of their anti-syntacticism.

[domoarrigato]

Underzog,

Humble Pie

It's what's for breakfast

[GE]

This was really bad.

[Fat Freddy Freekowtski]

"There's no need to fear. Underzog is here!"

Did you bring the Lox and bagels?

[Xeones]

To no one's surprise, underzog doesn't know how to scroll down on a website.

Also to no one's surprise, the "funny" part of "Friday Funnies" is so much the opposite that i'm no longer sure today is Friday.

[James Ard]

We don't have to drink when a troll does it, do we?

[John Davis]

LOL, dude that is just too funny! Well done!

"Hit and Run may not comment upon it for fear of offending its anti-Semitic audience at so-called "Reason" magazine or Hit and Run does not comment upon it because it does not want to tip its hand in such an ugly manner."

Underzog is another person who can't tell the difference between oposition to Israeli policy and anti-Semitism.

[Cracker\'s Boy]

"audience at so-called "Reason" magazine"

DRINK!

"most of so-called "Reason" magazine"

DRINK!

[Fat Freddy Freekowtski]

"Smoking grass and drinking beer is like pissing into the wind."

[megs]

Well, they could always make it more a race of cunning instead of speed.

I'd watch that. And electric cars would be quiet, so we could hear the growls and screams!

[P Brooks]

I'm converting my Suburban to run on uninformed indignation. The supply is unlimited.

[libertarian democrat]

Failing even for underzog...

[P Brooks]

Gentleman's "C" on the cartoon, by the way.

[P Brooks]

Actually, the way things are going, it will be a video game, soon. You'll just e-mail your setup and race strategy to the officials, who will then run the simulation and announce a winner.

[sage]

Why do the cars have those rear spoilers? Aren't they for vehicles that might hit over 60 mph?

[Spoonman]

Underzog, I don't like drinking this early.

[creech]

In addition to jumping shark motes, I think each race car should tow a lion.

[P Brooks]

Why do the cars have those rear spoilers?

You need a place to put your granola bar and whey-and-wheat-grass shake while you wait for the battery to recharge every forty miles.

[HANK PAYNE]

HANK PAYNE

[brotherben]

Those aren't spoilers. They are the platforms for the photovoltaics. Duh.

[Mike Laursen]

OK, first of all, an electric race car can generate full torque over its entire speed range, possibly giving it better acceleration than a conventional race car.

[Warren]

*sigh*
Weren't we on a not sucking too hard Friday Funny streak?

Well, people only look at the FF to see a cartoon crash anyway.

[R C Dean]

OK, first of all, an electric race car can generate full torque over its entire speed range, possibly giving it better acceleration than a conventional race car.

Given their range, I am looking forward to the Indianapolis 25.

Or half hour pit stops to change out the batteries. Either one.

[Mike Laursen]

Given their range, I am looking forward to the Indianapolis 25.

That was much funnier than the cartoon.

[Marshall Gill]

Underzog, I don't like drinking this early.

But what about all the people employed by the alcohol industries? It doesn't matter if you want to drink this early it is your patriotic duty!

And WTF the sun is up, soon enough to start drinking!

[Hook-Nosed Jew]

STFU, underzog!

[Marshall Gill]

And WTF the sun is up, soon late enough to start drinking!

[Islamo-Fascist Suicide Bomber]

Yeah, STFU, underzog!

[Rrrrrr]

"Given their range, I am looking forward to the Indianapolis 25."

And yet the race will last just as long as it always has.

[Warty]

I think we need to arrange an Underzog-Lonewacko feud.

[underzog]

Lonewacko's a pussy with no nuts.

[EJM]

I like the use of color on the cars--and that's just about it.

(For more red/blue/green fun, see 1960s ABC and CBS color IDs.)

[underzog]

Seriously, though, I could beat LoneWacko - or whatever he calls himself - like a stepchild, then get back to exploring his mother's tweakhole.

That goes for the fine folks at Reason and its audience as well. (Moynihan again a possible exception - not sure how big he is.)

"There's no need to fear. Underzog is here!"

[trolling_jerk]

Anyone who uses the phrase "tweakhole" is probably a pussy.

[LoneWacko\'s Mom]

underzog

You gotta copywrite for that underdog pic on your gay-bottom website?

[Episiarch]

I'd pay good money to see underzog and LoneDipwad go at it like Roddy Piper and Keith David from They Live, but it would, in reality, be more like the Timmy/Jimmy fight that was modeled after it.

Still: CRIPPLE RETARD FIGHT!!!

[brotherben]

Epi, I didn't realize you were into gladiator themed man on man porn.. Hmmm, learn something new everyday.

[Warty]

brotherben, do you like gladiator movies?

[brotherben]

Warty, I don't recall ever watching one so I don't have an opinion on them.

[Warty]

brotherben, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

[Episiarch]

ben, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?

[Episiarch]

FUCK

[Warty]

Epi, were you ever the priest's special helper?

[brotherben]

whoooooosh.

The sound of your Airplane quotes going right over my ignorant head.

[Warty]

Surely you can't be serious.

[brotherben]

Stop calling me Shirley

[Warty]

I'd ask Epi if he'd ever seen a grown man naked, but, well...you know.

[Episiarch]

I'd ask Epi if he'd ever seen a grown man naked, but, well...you know.

Well, of course...I've seen your mom naked, after all. That's the same thing.

[P Brooks]

Epi-

Have you been down to Lake Union to watch the seaplanes weave through the sailboats, yet?

Very entertaining.

[Episiarch]

P Brooks, no I haven't, but that sounds fun. I have seen a number of seaplanes pass over, though.

[P Brooks]

I haven't been out there for a long time, but there was a cool little sidewalk place where you could sit outside and eat lunch and watch the show.

[Mo]

Given their range, I am looking forward to the Indianapolis 25.

Or half hour pit stops to change out the batteries. Either one.

It takes you 30 minutes to change out a car battery? Do you have mitten hands? Interestingly, if properly designed, you could have quick release replacement batteries that take less time to change out than it takes to fill current gas tanks.

[T]

Interestingly, if properly designed, you could have quick release replacement batteries that take less time to change out than it takes to fill current gas tanks.

Properly designed? From GM? The same company that can't route a battery cable correctly? Good luck with that. Or were you hoping some other company is going to try the electricar bs?

[R C Dean]

It takes you 30 minutes to change out a car battery?

No, but my car runs on gas. I suspect changing out a battery that weighs hundreds, rather than tens, of pounds, will take a little longer.

Interestingly, if properly designed, you could have quick release replacement batteries that take less time to change out than it takes to fill current gas tanks.

Given the size of the batteries needed to power a car, I seriously doubt it. The battery in a Tesla roadster weighs more than 700 pounds.

[P Brooks]

if properly designed, you could have quick release replacement batteries that take less time to change out than it takes to fill current gas tanks.

"Properly designed" indeed; I have seen that show. Once upon a time, CART worked out a deal which allowed college electric car "race" teams to run exhibition races at our events.

What a goat rope. We sat on the pit wall and laughed our asses off.

[the innominate one]

I don't know about underzog, but I prefer my pussy without nuts, thanks.

[William Furr]

The torque characteristics for an electric motor make them perfect for drag racing. There's an electric motorcycle that drags in the 7s. I can't imagine what that must be like to ride.

I don't know about the Indy. Range would be an issue, and range-extended EVs add an awful lot of weight to the vehicle with two sets of motors and fuel (gas engine hooked up to an alternator to keep batteries charged, electric motors to run the wheels).

[Art-P.O.G.]

I'm pretty sure underzog's an impostor. Aren't most Jewish guys smart?

[Sam-Hec]

E-Car Battery swapping in under one minute (allegedly), nonetheless, much faster than R C Dean's 30 minutes.

My only point is that if you take the Bible straight, as I'm sure many of Reasons readers do, you will see a lot of the Old Testament stuff as absolutely insane. Even some cursory knowledge of Hebrew and doing some mathematics and logic will tell you that you really won't get the full deal by just doing regular skill english reading for those books. In other words, there's more to the books of the Bible than most will ever grasp. I'm not concerned that Mr. Crumb will go to hell or anything crazy like that! It's just that he, like many types of religionists, seems to take it literally, take it straight...the Bible's books were not written by straight laced divinity students in 3 piece suits who white wash religious beliefs as if God made them with clothes on...the Bible's books were written by people with very different mindsets.

[Scarpe Nike Italia]

is good
