    That astronaut saw all the orange and thought it was Tang. WAY TO BE A STEREOTYPE, DUDE.

    1. Will4Freedom   11 years ago

      Pretty clever, lad.

      *hat tip*

    2. Almanian - Trump's Woodchipper   11 years ago

      Looks like

      The Eagle has landed.

    ORANGE YA GLAD WE DIDN'T SAY "PINK"??!

    1. commodious spittoon   11 years ago

      Too soon, man.

  3. Almanian - Trump's Woodchipper   11 years ago

    I don't get it.

    Awful, therefore, perfect.

    Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids. I hope you all fall in a river polluted by the EPA and die slowly from the poisons, wasting away to nothing as your family looks on, till finally you're fed into a woodchipper and sprayed all over the grounds of a pig farm.

    Also

    *SLAP!!!*

    1. WTF   11 years ago

      *SLAP!*

      1. Rich   11 years ago

        *slap!*

        1. Devil's Candy   10 years ago

          CRIPPLE FIGHT!!!!

  4. Will4Freedom   11 years ago

    No dead, three eyed fish on the banks. No Republican corporations raw sewer drains emptying into the river. No Obama saving baby ducks. Go back and do this again until you get it right!

    1. Almanian - Trump's Woodchipper   11 years ago

      Three words: NEEDZ. MOAR. LABELZ.

    2. Fist of Etiquette   11 years ago

      Plot hole: If the kayaker didn't know the EPA polluted the water, how did he know to pack a hazmat suit?

      1. Florida Man   11 years ago

        Oh! You nailed his ass!

      2. Florida Man   11 years ago

        Also, why doesn't the EPA goon need a hazmat suit?

        1. WTF   11 years ago

          He's the EPA, they eat that shit for lunch!

          1. Entropy Drehmaschine Void   11 years ago

            That progtardian smug FYTW look on the EPA goon's face is PERFECT.

        2. Tonio   11 years ago

          Because he's not in the water. Whitewater kayaks such as the one depicted in the illo are rather tippy which is why you learn to roll up if you flip over.

  5. sarcasmic   11 years ago

    Not bad.

  6. Slammer   11 years ago

    Bok really stepped it up...now he's using fucking Crayons!

    The new packs come with Boehner Orange.

    1. Tonio   11 years ago

      I'm guessing pastels or chalk, but close.

      1. lap83   10 years ago

        It actually looks like crayon though. Pastels tend to be more saturated and chalk tends to be more powdery.

  7. Fist of Etiquette   11 years ago

    Here's how the conversation should have gone:

    "The Gold King Mine called. They're all out of pollutants."

    "Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're all out of you."

    1. RBS   11 years ago

      "Yeah? Well I had sex with your Wife."

  8. some guy   11 years ago

    So bad, even the alt-text is speechless.

    1. Almanian - Trump's Woodchipper   11 years ago

      Who will cry for the Alt Text? WHO?

  9. Nikkodemus   11 years ago

    It's funny that they list Cadmium on here. A decent percentage of the bolts still in use in the US are cadmium plated. Per the EPA they're not supposed to be.

  10. AD-RtR/OS!   10 years ago

    Too bad no one drop-kicked Gina into that river.

  11. Free Society   10 years ago

    Letter 'A'

    Blockquote

    EM is italics?

    Strong

    Letter 'S'
