'television static' translates to 'myrornas krig,' or 'battle of the ants.'

Tiny, I wonder what the french phrase is for when you sit in your car later and smack yourself in the head when you come up with the PERFECT COMEBACK that you SHOULD have said, instead of the "ummmmmm YOUR MOM" that you mumbled frantically.

Ooohh, that is so kool. Kind of looks like it too. Never thought about it!

So now when I spray vinegar all over my kitchen nooks and crannies, I can do my death dance and chant krrigs, you are being riggged. Or wait, is it myrornas which means "ants"? That would so defeat the rhyme. :/

You know, I heard something like this recently. I forget where. If you are at a party and someone says something clever, and you are left at a loss for words, and then just as you are leaving the party and hovering over the staircase leading out, you think of a riposte, it's called esprit d'escalier, which means "The wit of the staircase" in French. So it's an answer thought up too late. Some European languages are so visual-driven, it's amazing.

'gay bowel syndrome?'
Category: politics
Has the American conservative movement lost its focus? According to the statistics page from 'Conservapedia: The Trustworthy Encyclopedia,' it seems as though American conservatives are just as preoccupied focused as ever.

Check out this fascinating read. I can't wait to start a book club! :::link:::

god damn it. Can't we all just have a big orgy and get all this over with?

That was directed at the scary conservatives, not you all who posted or left comments. Just to be clear.

Gay Bowel Syndrome is not a Conservapedia invention, or even a conservative invention, although why they still call it that is beyond weird.

Gay Obsession Syndrome is more like it.

are you man enough for this
Category: a series of tubes
OK, I admit to being a webcomics geek, and a tagline of 'Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines' sounds like the kind of thing that's already been done a bajillion times before. But when faced with 'Are you man enough for this,' Steven Frank of Spamusement came up with 'Derek Jeter, carrying a fishing pole and a keg, atop a riding lawnmower on the flatbed of a pickup, deep-fried and smothered with country gravy.'

That is unusual talent.

To anyone who considers him or herself an adventurous eater, I recommend "Steve Don't Eat It," a website wherein a guy named Steve eats things he ought not to.

I think the term "ROFL" is used too often and never literally, but I came very close. Don't worry; there is a happy ending.

I read this site a long time ago. The Natto article nearly made me throw up.

In fact, I need to choke something up now.
jbeatty - 11/09/07 07:23
that was pretty amusing.
paul - 11/09/07 01:23
Wow, that was seriously insane.
tinypliny - 11/08/07 22:53
ROFL and L and L and L and now Hicupping and H and H and L...

Good Grief.

You have GOT to answer her in the affirmative, but tell her your motor oil plan got nixed in favor of olive oil.

HAAAAAA!
That's awesome.

I can't decide whether that message sounds incredibly juvenile, incredibly naughty, or both.
