    I wonder if blind Abraham Lincoln knows he pantomiming giving head.

    1. Slammer   10 years ago

      And banging the passed out guy from behind.

      1. Rich   10 years ago

        Now, now, Slammer. Chip is a master of perspective of *all* kinds.

    2. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      That's not his hand, it's the inebriated chestburster that killed the other guy. I mean, look at the size of the hand holding the martini glass. Sadly, their robot bartender has orders to recover the organism.

      1. Charles Easterly   10 years ago

        Who knew Science Officer Ash sarted off as a bartender?

      2. widget   10 years ago

        I doubt any bartender knows how to make a martini these days. One to take out the bottle of vermouth and hold next to the gin, and the other is pour some in.

        His hair was perfect.

        1. Almanian!   10 years ago

          I saw him drinkin' a Pina Colada at Trader Vic's

          1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

            You'd better stay away from him. He'll rip your lungs out, Jim.

  5. Ted S.   10 years ago

    Shouldn't they be drinking Coors?

      Ballistic Knife Jesus has a better recommendation for on-the-job slobs who protect figureheads.See here now.

      1. straffinrun   10 years ago

        "Looks like a 9mm round". I wish that plastic dome didn't come off and they had just put the pull tab on top of it. I'd give one to my wife just to remember how she "drank" before we were married.

        1. Agile Cyborg   10 years ago

          If baby mama won't drink it- mayhaps she'll use it. Just a minor suggestion for the straffer.

          1. straffinrun   10 years ago

            That may say "9mm" but I'm not giving her that. I'd be all anal after that, cuz that would do some damage to her other ladyparts.

    2. Nosea   10 years ago

      Good one, nice catch!

  6. EDG reppin' LBC   10 years ago

    I don't get it.

    I'm going for a jog.

    1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

      Almanian! hopes you jog in front of a speeding bus.

  7. Almanian!   10 years ago

    I actually don't get this. Awful - therefore, perfect.

    Happy Fucking Friday, Reasonoids. I hope you all take silver bullets on behalf of the US President (PBUH) and die slowly, bleeding out in front of your loved ones.

    Also, fried chicken

    This cocktail-themed cartoon reminded me to finish watching season 2 of Danger 5, so it served some use.

    9 parts vodka

    4 parts grape fruit drank

    freeze overnight

    serve in plastic cups

    The Perfect Beyond Chunderdome

    1. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

      what did the grapefruit drink?

      1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

        "Australian Purple Drank"

        1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

          In other words, a fluid attempting to impersonate fruit juice while containing little or none itself.

          1. Almanian!   10 years ago

            +1 high-fructose corn syrup

    2. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      Would that even freeze? Or do you use weaksauce vodka?

      1. Almanian!   10 years ago

        In a pinch, it serves as radiator coolant if you breakdown on walkabout in the outback. G'day, mate...

        1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

          Mind the deadly snakes...and spiders...and dingoes...and plants...and insects...

    3. l0b0t   10 years ago

      Hey IFH, do you watch Utopia? I got hooked and find it to be the most (unintentionally?) libertarian television show since Yes Minister/Prime Minister. How about Housos, Fat Pizza, Swift & Shift, or Upper Middle Bogan? Y'all have some brilliant television down there and all we Yanks get to taste (unless one is a pirate like me) is a stupid remake of that execrable The Slap.

      1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

        And here was me thinking The Wire was the most unintentionally libertarian TV show in history.

        Please tell me you're watching Danger 5 on Netflix (or elsewhere)

        If you're looking for something else, check out The Doug Anthony Allstars' lunatic TV show DAAS Kapital which was done in the early 90s. Actually anything they did is worth checking out (there's a bit of their stage shows on YouTube)

        1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

          Oh, and try Soul Mates

        2. l0b0t   10 years ago

          Love Danger 5 and DAAS Kapital also, The Gruen Effect is fun.

  11. This Is My Last Post   10 years ago

    A cut scene from the film "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer".

    You might see it in a future special edition Blue Ray edition.

  12. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

    This ranks up there with Bok's best work. Needless to say it really sucks.

    1. Almanian!   10 years ago

      It was only funny the f....HEY!

  13. Just a thought not a sermon   10 years ago

    37) Last summer I was in Nebraska for a family reunion. Out driving with my uncle through the endless corn fields, he pointed out how depopulated the area is now, compared to a century ago when each quarter-mile lot (i.e., 40 acres) had a family, and often those families had 8-10 kids. Then he said how we romanticize those times as peaceful and low crime, but he thinks there was all kinds of shit that went down that we don't remember. For one thing, there were lots of traveling salesmen and wandering preachers and so forth who could commit crimes and leave without a trace. Say an itinerant worker came to your area, and you hired him on for a season. Your sixteen-year-old daughter is spending a lot of time with him, and one day they both up and disappear, and the family never hears from her again. Folks then would have said they ran away together to get married. Well, probably, but a lot of the time it was something more nefarious. The parents didn't have time to investigate?they had a farm to run, they had 8 other kids, and anyway she was 16 and practically an adult. As for law enforcement, at best you had only a sheriff and a deputy, and teen-agers leave home all the time, so unless there's specific evidence of a crime they weren't going to look into it. If this itinerant worker had fled to another state there was basically no chance he would be caught for any sort of crime. I think my uncle was probably right?this sort of thing must have happened all the time.

    1. Just a thought not a sermon   10 years ago

      Doh! sorry, this was meant to be a test

      1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

        FAIL!

      2. straffinrun   10 years ago

        Getting ready for links, eh. FOE, someone is gunning for you.

        1. Certified Public Asskicker   10 years ago

          Can he come up with a second thought now in half an hour?

          1. Just a thought not a sermon   10 years ago

            Umm...what's the deal with the lampshades? No, no, that won't work. How about, if the can's round, shouldn't it be called roundtine instead of ovaltine?

            1. WTF   10 years ago

              That's gold, Jerry, gold!

      3. Almanian!   10 years ago

        I thought it was a "thought" (as opposed to a "sermon").

        A "test"? Now I'm really confused.

        Thanks a lot, asshole.

        1. lap83   10 years ago

          I know no one is going to read this, but "Just a test, not a sermon" would be a good handle.

  14. straffinrun   10 years ago

    Genius. You're own bartender's reaction to you're own joke tells it all. A master stroke of self-deprecating humor.

    1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

      He is narrowing his gaze

      *thumbs up*

  15. hamilton   10 years ago

    Who drinks Coors Light from a martini glass?

    1. straffinrun   10 years ago

      They're undercover.

  16. Rich   10 years ago

    "So, two Secret Service guys crawl into another bar ...."

    1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

      ...and the hooker says, "No, you pay upfront Secret Service Man!"

      1. John   10 years ago

        That really is the best detail of the Secret Service Colombian hooker story; they only were caught because they tried to stiff the hooker. It is one thing to have poor impulse control and get a hooker under those circumstances. That is just ordinary poor judgement. To do it and create a potential disturbance by trying to stiff the hooker, however, shows an epic level of arrogance and stupidity.

  17. straffinrun   10 years ago

    What's with all the foul language on this thread? You guys eat your mom out with that mouth?

    1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

      No, but I do!

      /Epi

      1. straffinrun   10 years ago

        I know. I'm his mom.
