So that's how he bribed Christie to win the election for him.

  It was a tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat, a slice of cherry pie and a cup of coffee. Damn good food. FOE, if you ever get up this way, that cherry pie is worth a stop.

    I always thought Diane was the name of his tape recorder.

So the govt is Mr Creosote Jones? Where's the followup panel showing him vomiting into a bucket right before he explodes?

Why does the government have a penis on it's head?
1. Counterfly Guard 14 years ago
  
  To fuck you, that's why.
  1. Fist of Etiquette 14 years ago
    
    To is the new because.

      I run all my responses through 7 random languages on google translate, and then back to esperanto, and then post them.
      
      I've found it's the safest way to keep the Feds from swooping down on me like a Mexican pork cloud.

        I took your post, ran it through seven languages, and then back to English. It came out, "Agip in 7 languages ??to run random Google translator, and then back to English, and then send it.
        
        I have to protect the data, and the Mexican government has found a way to keep the pork like a cloud," It was staying pretty much in shape till the Russian to Hindi to Arabic and then back to English combo.

  For the same reason it has a plastic man arm. Payne can't draw for shit.

What the hell is being served there? Placenta jello?

  Republicans?

    IT'S A COOKBOOK!

Also, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  If I were you, I would have said that, too.

Not bad. I give it a 3 out of 5.

Who would put put guppies and pubic hair in their cheery pie?

Barack Obama, that's who!
1. Question of Auban 14 years ago
  
  Michelle cooked the pie. They are both from her.
2. Ted S. 14 years ago
  
  I think it's Anita Hill who put the pubic hair in the cheery [sic] pie.
  1. H. Reardon 14 years ago
    
    No Ted. It's a cheery pie. Full of government rah, rah.
mr simple 14 years ago

So the US government is a greedy white fatcat and Obama has to serve it like a slave? That's racist.
WTF 14 years ago

So, Obama is giving up any pretense of fiscal restraint for Lent?
Doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice.
sage 14 years ago

Put Chewbacca's head on the seated person and you probably have a typical evening at the white house.

Red wine
It is, they say
The blood of gov, and cake
The food of fools. But they want more!
Bad carbs.
Flatulent Monkey 14 years ago

I didn't know that Tyler Perry had scoliosis.
Almanian! 14 years ago

All is lost
A wan look on his face
He eats but does not taste
He drinks but does not enjoy
Government over, against and despite The People?
The horror
The horror

  Apocalypse Now is how I first learned about Frazer's book "The Golden Bough" which is shown in the film. Fascinating book ? as is the book that Apocalypse Now itself is based upon ? Heart of Darkness.

    I'm thinking of going batshit crazy in my quest to hunt down and kill Payne and Bok, going native and setting up my own cult following until the govt sends SugarFree to come get me.

Obama a waiter! Racist!
1. Question of Auban 14 years ago
  
  Obama a president! Racist!
  
  I actually have far more respect and admiration for waiters than I do for politicians. Waiters provide a valuable service and usually don't send people off to die in pointless wars or tell the FBI to spy on innocent people.

    Would you like the joke explained to you, or is this prompting going to be sufficient?
General Butt Naked 14 years ago

Wow Payne, your dipping into "so bad it should be illegal" territory with this "funny".
LTC(ret) John 14 years ago

You people are slacking...NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!
The Late P Brooks 14 years ago

I don't get it. Maybe if it had some labels.
1. LTC(ret) John 14 years ago
  
  Exactly!

I run all my responses through 7 random languages on google translate, and then back to esperanto, and then post them.

No Vogon rhyming dictionary?

I am disappoint.

  And no gratuitous use of the word "Belgium". 🙁

  Adams suffers from the Metallica Effect: The movie was so bad that it retroactively makes the books less good.
  1. Question of Auban 14 years ago
    
    There were two movies I think. The 2005 one and another one from the 1980's - maybe that was a tv series but in any case it was horrible.
    
    But the radio series - the radio series was BRILLIANT.

      The BBC video was low budget but they pulled it off.

Dear Prez
Just put it down
"But she's my cherry pie!"
She makes a grown man cry about
His cash

Henry Payne is right on target. I could imagine a Quebec version showing current Quebec Premier Pauline Marois giving food to the Quebec government.
1. nicole, dirty poet laureate 14 years ago
  
  But she would be feeding them horsemeat.

Doggerel verse
From bad to worse
I flunked English Lit
that means I don't get

Sometimes I can at least tell what he is trying to do but I utterly at a loss on this one.
