  1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    The Money Pit was Shelly Long's greatest movie. There, I said it.

    1. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

      Better than Zombie Hamlet?

      Apparently there's a remake coming out next year and she's in it

      1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

        "Ever" means past or future. So learn to read what is implied at the end of my first sentence.

        1. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

          what i usually think is implied at the end of your sentences is far worse than "ever"

    2. Ted S.   12 years ago

      Better than the Brady Bunch movie?

      1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

        Obviously I just meant up to that point in her career.

        1. gaijin   12 years ago

          but wait, at 7:19 above you said pastg or future. Which is it Fist? Now or forever?

          1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

            "Now" means the present. I never said the present, only the past and/or the future. So to answer your question: Precisely.

            1. gaijin   12 years ago

              Well then, presently, I will consider your answer to have been correct.

    3. JeremyR   12 years ago

      Caveman is actually funny, though.

      It's largely forgotten now, but it really shouldn't be.

      1. The Original Jason   12 years ago

        Tala!

    4. Snark Plissken   12 years ago

      The copy of Cheers the Movie from an alternate timeline which I happen to own, is slightly better than The Money Pit.

      1. Almanian!   12 years ago

        Shelly Long leaving "Cheers" - best career move ever, or best career move EVAR?

      2. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

        So you chose to italicize the title of the movie that exists only in your mind but not the title of the real one. Interesting.

        1. robc   12 years ago

          Its the italic universe.

    5. Gene   12 years ago

      What there was another one.

  2. H. ReardEn   12 years ago

    If there was a Nobel Prize for political cartoons, Bok wouldn't get a nomination.

    Bok should consider the by-mail Art Instruction School

  3. Swiss Servator, Kneel to Zug!   12 years ago

    *ahem* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

    There, now no one should feel compelled to laugh, I have done it for us all. Gah.

    1. Almanian!   12 years ago

      A grateful commentariat is grateful, Swiss.

    2. robc   12 years ago

      This was far better than most of Bok's work.

      I smiled.

      1. GILMORE   12 years ago

        i dont get it. i never get it.

        1. PM   12 years ago

          When asked by a CNN reporter at a press conference, vis-a-vis voting on a bill passed by the house providing short-term ongoing funding for child cancer research at the National Institutes of Health:

          But if you can help one child with cancer, why wouldn't you do it?

          Reid replied:

          Why would we want to do that?

          And then proceeded to lecture the reporter about the what an irresponsible job she was doing asking him such a question.

          http://twitchy.com/2013/10/02/.....heir-fate/

          1. GILMORE   12 years ago

            i prefer to still not get it

  4. SugarFree   12 years ago

    Harry Reid: The missing evolutionary link between humans and a dead dog's asshole.

    1. Rich   12 years ago

      Silver State Senator, dripping from a dead dog's hole ....

      1. GILMORE   12 years ago

        coo coo kachoo

        it sure is dusty in here

  5. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

    Amazingly Bok makes Reid look better than real life.

  6. Restoras   12 years ago

    I really don't understand how Bok keeps this gig.

    1. Almanian!   12 years ago

      I read that as "Reid keeps his gig".

      Same thought applies, really.

    2. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

      I really don't understand how Bok keeps this gig

      Incriminating photos of Gillespie doing Krugman cosplay.

  7. Almanian!   12 years ago

    I didn't laugh.
    Not funny.
    I don't get it.
    NEEDZ MOAR LABELS.

    Happy fucking ErmahgerdSerkerwersterShertdernAgeddonolypse Friday, Reasonoids.

    1. Gene   12 years ago

      ErmahgerdSerkerwersterShertdernAgeddonolypse

      Alas, Google search yielded no results or suggestions.

      Are there no Reasonoids at Google?

    2. Gene   12 years ago

      ErmahgerdSerkerwersterShertdernAgeddonolypse

      Alas, Google search yielded no results or suggestions.

      Are there no Reasonoids at Google?

    3. PM   12 years ago

      I don't get it.

      It's topical, albeit a few days past its prime. See: http://reason.com/blog/2013/10.....nt_4059771

      1. The Original Jason   12 years ago

        Isn't Reason always a few days past its prime?

  8. lap83   12 years ago

    Why is Andy Rooney talking to a bouquet of tootsie pops?

    1. H. ReardEn   12 years ago

      What, you've never seen that before?

      'Did you ever notice that it take a lot more than 3 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?'

  9. Tim   12 years ago

    Make with the links already.

    1. robc   12 years ago

      Patience.

      Look at the clock.

      Patience.

    2. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

      only a few minutes more, comrade.

  10. Neoliberal Kochtopus   12 years ago

    Warty, if you're out there, MattY is currently in Cleveland. Can you, you know, send him on a 'trip to Belize' for me?

  11. Cdr Lytton   12 years ago

    When did the Cryptkeeper become a pundit?

  12. herbisonmatilde   12 years ago
