    Elayne Boosler. When I was in high school I wanted to eat out her substance.

    (Not really, but you try to come up with a joke for this one.)

    1. vanessamcclelland02   12 years ago

      my co-worker’s half-sister makes $76 every hour on the computer. She has been out of work for 5 months but last month her pay was $18019 just working on the computer for a few hours. Here’s the site to read more…. http://www.cnn13.com

  2. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

    ooooh, satire!

  3. Palin's Buttplug   12 years ago

    T-shirt seen in Texas: Tell the GOP that if I wanted the government in my vagina I would fuck a Senator.

    1. DJF   12 years ago

      On the back of the T-shirt it saids

      “But the taxpayer is responsible to pay for the maintenance on my vagina

      1. Atanarjuat   12 years ago

        Yeah, the lefties love to make fun of the “Get your government hands off my Medicare!”, but that’s exactly what they’re saying here.

      2. Palin's Buttplug   12 years ago

        Most women just want the government out of their contraceptive decisions. There are exceptions, of course. I would prefer completely private funding of Planned Parenthood myself.

        1. DJF   12 years ago

          So are you in favor or against taxpayers having to pay for vagina maintenance??

          1. Mike M.   12 years ago

            Of course scumbag is in favor of it. He loves using taxpayer dollars to buy votes for his guys.

        2. sgs   12 years ago

          “Most women just want the government out of their contraceptive decisions. ”

          They should stop taking the fucking money then so they have some room to talk.

    2. Appalachian Australian   12 years ago

      We’re the ones who keep saying we don’t think doctors and medicine should be regulated.

      Team Red just wants “common-sense” regulation of surgical facilities that 90% of Americans support.

    3. Certified Public Asskicker   12 years ago

      Ooooo, so clever

    4. Fatty Bolger   12 years ago

      You mean that sign being held up by a little girl? Way to keep it classy, Democrats.*

      Also, I feel for this kid. It can’t be easy having dozens of “uncles.”

      * Mainstream media protocol dictates that every member of her political party be tarred by this one instance of somebody doing something stupid.**

      ** Unless it’s a Democrat, in which case it will not be covered by the MSM except as an attempt to debunk it.

  4. Atanarjuat   12 years ago

    Being a proud grajiate of public schools, I had to google to find out that was really in the DoI. “Erected”? “Eat out their substance”? I guess Abraham Lincoln really was a closeted homosexual.

    1. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

      hey, how did your “blow shit up” plan go yesterday?

      1. Atanarjuat   12 years ago

        Pretty good! It’s always fun, though we didn’t have anything too spectacular. I got my 7-year-old to light his first bottle rocket.

        1. Brett L   12 years ago

          Did it rain all day in Tallahassee proper? I was in the middle of the rain funnel at Cape San Blas (actually Indian Pass).

      2. Atanarjuat   12 years ago

        Going to show my quintessentially American ignorance of all other places by asking, do you have any reckless drunken firework-lighting holidays in Oz?

        1. Ted S.   12 years ago

          They have a fireworks show during the middle of the Australian Open tennis.

          I think this coming year it’s going to fall in the middle of the men’s final.

        2. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

          oh man, you hit a sore spot there! It’s illegal pretty much everywhere (you can get a one-off pyrotechnics licence if you are prepared to suffer).

          I grew up in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory, which because it was a Territory (and not a State) had all these crazy legal loopholes, so we blew shit up for the Queen’s Birthday in June every year. A few years ago the local ACT government decided to justify its existence by banning the private use of fireworks like the little bitches they are.

          So the only place you can legally buy and use them now is the Northern Territory, and only for its official Territory Day. Gotta get to the US for July 4 one year to smell the sweet scent of gunpowder again…

          1. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

            official fireworks are pretty frequent (New Year’s, Australia Day, etc)

          2. Ted S.   12 years ago

            The Queen, of course, was not born in June. 🙂

          3. Brett L   12 years ago

            Do they have a farmer’s exception? Here if you ar buying them “to scare off crows and other vermin”, you can buy the good shit instead of just bottle rockets and sparklers (or drive to Alabama!)

          4. Billy Boogers   12 years ago

            Back in the early 70’s I was living in Alice and recall “Guy Fawkes Day” being quite the proverbial blow out from a fireworks perspective 🙂

            We’d awake the next morning to the streets covered in cracker paper and a lingering gunpowder haze throughout the town.

            Ahhh, the days of Thunder Bungers!

        3. Fluffy   12 years ago

          The movie Babe has led me to believe that they have fireworks for Christmas down there.

          Which is of course as ass-backwards as everything else they do.

          GET OFF MY LAWN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

        4. Rich   12 years ago

          do you have any reckless drunken firework-lighting holidays in Oz?

          “Does Australia have a Fourth of July?”

          “Yes, and a fifth, and a sixth, ….”

          Sorry — couldn’t resist!

  5. bostonaod   12 years ago

    That hot dog is about to explode!

    1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      That’s what she said.

  6. Ted S.   12 years ago

    NEEDZ MOAR LABELS!

  7. creech   12 years ago

    Did any more than a handful of Americans know what the 4th was about? The local tv news babes kept trying to prod kids into saying it was all about hamburgers, fireworks, and the pool. Sure, a few pols mentioned “independence” or “liberty” but you can bet they spend the other 364 days chipping away at those principles.

  8. squarooticus   12 years ago

    This one is actually funny.

    I don’t understand.

  9. Fatty Bolger   12 years ago

    That’s actually pretty good. Did Bok have a stroke or something?

    1. Jesus H. Christ   12 years ago

      Bok is messing with a ouija board I would guess. Definitely not his own work. Well, the crappy art is his, but the punchline, I think not.

    2. PapayaSF   12 years ago

      I agree. Pretty funny, Bok.

  10. Almanian!   12 years ago

    Like the CBO would say anything like that about a government function. BOKFAIL.
