    Sorry foax, there’s nothing you can do that’s funnier than the budget rollout itself. Kudos for trying, though.

    Although, I have always thought that Boehner looked an awful lot like a middle-aged Jet Screamer. So this makes sense.

    Au contraire. See Nate Silver’s schematic, for example. And the Fark Political Brigade has a thread filled with great artwork. I’m partial to the one featuring the Sham-Wow guy.

    My witchdoctor says “ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang.” Maybe you should check your witchdoctor’s credentials.

    In the interests of both pedantry & showing how much pointless crap can be crammed into one humanoid cranium:

    Ooh-eee
    Ooh-ah-ah
    Ting Tang
    Walla Walla Bing Bang

    umm, I believe it’s

    ooh eeh

    walla walla bing bang

    Definitely “Ting Tang.”

  17. mikey said,

    March 28, 2009 at 1:34

    Nope.

    Sorry, PeeJ.

    The versions containing the string “ting tang” are correct.

    No self-respecting Witch Doctor would attempt to Rhyme “bing bang” with itself.

    That would be grounds for a malpractice suit….

  18. PeeJ said,

    yeah.

    ting tang

    Yeah, man.

    Those goddam puppy eyes are freakin expensive, dood. A whole litter and you only get a week’s supply.

    If you need to do up a bunch of eyes, go with octopus eyes. Damn things are cheaper than duckfeathers…

    I thought the “Republican road to recovery” was a wall blocking us from getting from OPP to ORK. Or are we going the other way? This budget stuff is way too complicated for me.

  34. mikey said,

    March 28, 2009 at 2:09

    I really wanna make reference to Tim Powers’ “Expiration Date”.

    Would that be too obscure?

    mikey

  35. Smut Clyde said,

    March 28, 2009 at 2:15

    Tim Powers references are never obscure, though I have to say that nothing he’s written since has been as good as Dinner at Deviants Palace.

  36. mikey said,

    March 28, 2009 at 2:22

    In an absolute sense, my Smutty friend, this is not disputable.

    But I have a real warm feeling, even a bond, for “Expiration Date” and to a lesser degree the other Faultline books.

    Never have I otherwise met so many truly likable dead people.

    And as villains go, it’s hard not to root for Sherman Oaks…

    I learned from Olbermann that Cantor didn’t want to release the budget, but Boehner was determined.

    Which means they are operating on Full Stupid Override, in which the stupidest idea has the most power.

    Sounds about right.

  41. Jennifer said,

    March 28, 2009 at 3:20

    Getting back to the subject…

    …it’s the Underpants Gnomes budget.

    “Step one: Cut rich people’s taxes by 10%!!!
    Step two: ….
    Step three: PROFIT!!!!”

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. Though it is particularly delicious that the only actual numbers in this “budget” were those outlining how much less rich people should pay in taxes.

    i see grace nearing has already directed you all to the fark thread, chock full of hilarity masquerading as interpretations of the gop budget. my favorite was the flow chart with the first bubble encircling the word “five,” the second bubble containing the words “five dollar,” the rectangular box stating “republican road to recovery,” with the final bubble proclaiming “five dollar footlong!”

    Asked about a possible IP infringement lawsuit, the Underpants Gnomes refused to comment.

    Is this the birth of a new meme? Jesus, I sure hope so … & it’d be the one thing the GOP has done so far this century that actually does America some good.

    Carl Sagan’s Stork Toast

    Ingredients:
    4 pints awe-inspiring stork
    1 outdated almond milk, furrily chilled
    1 tongue of dog
    3 pinches pathological sea urchin whisker, involuntarily grated
    1 stick soy sauce
    1 bag garlic

    Pre-heat your George Foreman grill to 551 Kelvin. Guiltily grease a cookie sheet. Separate stork nose from whisker. Inflate whisker. Stir the almond milk with the tongue of dog over high heat in a bag. Sprinkle resulting concoction over the stork. Ice – very indivisibly – the sea urchin whisker, soy sauce, and the garlic. Heap the latter combination on to the former. Bake for 16 hours. Serves 11 friends with lovely stomachs.

    Hey, M. Bouffant, glad to hear you’re now housed. Makes a big difference, don’t it?

    And actor212, yes, Natty does have a fine pair of dimples. She was also, bless her little cotton socks, well-known for seizing on various insanitites of the Howard regime and making witty and cutting statements, as well as speaking out about a variety of issues that just never made it into the mainstream of staid political culture Down Under.

    There’s nothing more heart-warming than seeing a young dimpled firebrand giving a metaphorical smack across the chops to an old establishment bloke. Gives one a warm feeling that lasts for ages. And she’s from my very own home state. Ten thousand pities that she gave it up to spawn – we miss her a lot.

    Remember when Obama was telling us to inflate our tires to save money and cut back on fuel consumption? If only the folks at RedState had decided to stick it to us liberals by slashing their own tires and driving around on flats to get the worse milage possible and waste even more fuel. That would’ve shown us. I really regret actually going over and reading their “Hour of Power” thread. On the plus side, it’s nice to see that we’re in control since they seem to base all of their decisions on what they think will most piss us off. Given their third-grade mentality, I think that means they secretly have a crush on us.

    I just wanted to say that my only memory of the song referenced in the title of this post is when a local radio station back in Columbus did a parody using Opey (and all of Mayberry) instead. I used to have that and several other songs by the same station on a cassette tape but of course that is long gone. The station used to have downloadable mp3s but those disappeared too.

    I listened to the WNCI Morning Zoo a lot in middle school. This is what passes for nostalgia for me, I guess…

    Well, going Galt is predicated on magic unlimited energy, ergo… SHUT UP LIEBRULS!!!!!

    All hail Ross Bagdasarian and his chipmunks (a friend used to have a book version of Alvin’s Harmonica from before they designed the TV chipmunks — very strange to look at), but my favorite version of “My Friend the Witch Doctor” has to be the cover by Manuel “Loco” Valdes, “Medico Brujo,” found on the album Easy Melodias via mexicovers. The whole album is a sort of perfection we frail creatures can scarce dream upon, which is good because you’ll have to take the whole thing to get Medico Brujo (and Yummy Yummy Yummy and Black is Black and… oooh, iDios mio!… Mueve el Dinero).
