The Silly Party and the Sensible Party, down to the wire:

[Pro Libertate]

You’ve made Viking Moose cry, I’ll have you know!

[Edna]

Silly party?? Britain has a libertarian party?

[Marc]

I was in the liquor store this evening, and on the TV there, some Brit was saying that one thing the Conservative and Liberal Dems had in common was a respect for the free market and the rights of the individual.

I then purchased bourbon. I was going to anyway, but still.

[Ken Shultz]

The Silly Party makes me think of Screaming Lord Sutch’s, PBUH, Official Monster Raving Loony Party…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O…..oony_Party

…which dovetails nicely with Lord Sutch’s history with pirate radio stations and micro-states, and micro-state heads literally killing each other over the stations–only to be tried in British courts and exonerated for self-defense.

Did someone else mention Screaming Lord Sutch around here recently? Why was I thinking about that? Maybe it was in the WSJ? I don’t know.

…and now for something completely different.

[matth]

Yep, front page of the WSJ. Yesterday, maybe?

[Nick M.]

I weep for your taint, Matt. The Urkobold will surely not abide this blatant rip-off.

[Matt Welch]

I plead ignorance! Which, if nothing else, should be believable….

[Pro Libertate]

I’m sure the Moose will forgive. Though he demands. . .a sacrifice!

[.]

Yawn.

[highnumber]

Wake up!

[.]

I did!
[looks around]
What day is this?

[Christopher_T.]

or a shrubbery.

[Pro Libertate]

The Urkobold is dangerous when aroused, but Viking Moose. . .well, we don’t like to talk about that much.

A M??se once bit my sister.

[Episiarch]

Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type makes me puke! You vacuous, toffee-nosed, malodorous pervert!

[Sudden]

Beware of Techno Viking Moose!

[BakedPenguin]

Hey, I came here for an argument!

[Almanian]

Oh, I’m sorry – this is Abuse

[Jaime Kelly]

Your mother’s pussy smells of elderberries. So I fucked her a second time.

[Tsk Tsk]

Poor Jaime. He stopped when his vocabulary reached 200 words. “That was good enough for my ‘pa and it’s good enough for me,” he said, using up 10 of them.

[Almanian]

Plus the fact that is was actually his father that smelled of elderberries makes this even more disgusting.

I guess any port in a storm, etc. etc.

[Christ on a Cracker]

I am presently in behind the Great Firewall. I can see all the text on the page, even the comments, but the illustruation is block out. I am not able to complain about the FF’s.

Sometimes I think we worry too much about government censorship. And then, I see where it can lead.

Do I get a drink?

[Paul]

Personally, I miss the Standing at the Back Dressed Stupidly and Looking Stupid Party.
