Your link to Little Green Footballs now goes through to one of his patented ‘You Are An Idiot’ animations. Actually, he’s right, I am an idiot for clicking on his shitty blog.

Well, we have skills. We’ve found most planets won’t let in unskilled aliens.

Ba-dumCHING!

Very nice, mikey

Dartmouth now helping to fund Communism

Yeah, Dartmouth, butt out! Funding Chinese Communism is Wal-Mart’s job!

To the tune of 851 messages, the LGF’ers were hopping up and down and brandishing their privates

I think I can guarantee that that's not all they were doing...

Doodle Bean:

Well I can’t do it! I break out in a horrible rash every time I go there. I must be allergic to that pissant’s protein.

Or you’re worried that he’ll try to slap you with it.

Fluffybunnyfeet:

No, wait – he’ll whip it out eventually…

Pfft. Reminds me of that Chumbawumba/Bill Clinton parody that was going ’round t3h internetz several years back. Though for the benefit of Cockslappio, we should give it new lyrics…

I think I’d rather muck out a slaughterhouse.

You think that’s bad? I just accidentally clicked on a link from Wonkette and wound up in the comments section of LGF. Jeebus Creeping Christmas, but those people are off their shit!

The daily howler monkey screech-fest was over the LA Times having the temerity to publish an op-ed piece by a guy from Hamas. The congregation was pretty united on the opinion that the creeping liberals at the Times should be hauled out of their offices When The Day Comes (as it will, oh yes, it will, they are all very very sure about that).

To the tune of 851 messages, the LGF’ers were hopping up and down and brandishing their privates over the thought that any media outlet would bother to actually inform their readers of the viewpoints of some of the people that the gummint tells us are our enemies. For them, the fact that fine, upstanding people like Cheney tells ‘em that they are enemies is enough.

Urg … blech … [queasy stomach] … I think I need a hazmat suit before I go back in there…

The real question is: Aliens, or Sub-humans? I'm thinking Sleestaks from the Land of the Lost.

Mikey, I nearly added “shape-shifting” to my description of the aliens but figured it would cause some debate about why they were bothering to be millipedes and then I’d have to explain that maybe they just like millipedes and someone would say well but if they shape shift, then they’re not really millipedes and I’d have to concede that yes, they were in fact interdimensional shape-shifting time-traveling aliens that are at this moment looking like millipedes and then someone would make a Futurama joke and then I’d just be exhausted from the whole thing.

Also, in terms of therapeutic drugs, try the Inderal. You get enough hairy zombies packed into your living room and hallway and kitchen, suddenly there’s precious little even Bush can do to scare you anymore. Plus there’s the added advantage that it gives you lots of good excuses to yell profanities at the TV and pretend you were talking to the zombies. On the other hand, the constant nausea is wearing thin, but that may not be an Inderal thing and instead more of a Mark-Noonan-is-trying-to-be-clever-again thing.

I think someone with photoshop and photoshop talent needs to make a PowderLine banner. The real banner lends itself to an easy morph to the new one. What do you say?

The image would capture the kind of thinking going on at that wabside

“Full disclosure.

mikey”

Maybe if we all got high and nekkid before Bush’s next speechifying, it would create some sort of TM force which would act on Teh Shrub, changing him instantaneously into the Commander of Peace, and we’d have a world of rainbows and ponies for everyone. Hey, it would be worth a try. I’m willing to make the sacrifice.

Y’know mikey, I used to roll my eyes when, back in the day, my older friends used to go on and on about “the old acid” “Yeah this liquid you got is good, kid, but the old acid, yadda-yadda”.

Then one day, helping my folks move, I found an old deck of hand-painted playing cards with two band-aids stuck to back of the Joker… 5 hits of Black Windowpane, 3 hits of Purple Microdot. Figuring they couldn’t possibly be any good after 20+ years (this was the late 80s) I popped a couple hits of the windowpane.

I stopped rolling my eyes when you oldsters talked about “the old acid” after that.

I mean, sure, pot and booze and ecstasy are kind of a baseline.

I swear that last word was “vaseline” when I first read it.

Ahhh, Candy, I was right there with ya. A few curls of the dragon from a little china white on tinfoil and I could listen to the boy with the codpiece ™ without pain.

Full disclosure.

I’d be naked…

You know, after I posted that, I re-read it, and I’ll confess to creeping myself out.

I blame my recent attempts at copying Swank’s syntax and the lack of a preview button…

I’m sorry, Candy, but that’s a REALLY creepy image you just put in my head.

Smoking lovely, all-natural opium would do it for me. I might even be able to watch Bush deliver a speech if I were physically lying on the couch but mentally floating on a cloud while he yammered away with his fake Texas twang…

I might even have a gentle smile on my face…

The question, Matt T, is what is the most appropriate, most efficacious drug for the Bush years? I mean, sure, pot and booze and ecstasy are kind of a baseline. But they really aren’t holding back the horror of reality. In the immortal words of Huey Lewis, I want a NEW drug.

If I could get REAL LSD, well, fine, that’s the solution, but I’m not sure what this nasty weeny stuff they have now even is.

Some combination of Valium, Mushrooms and Dexamyl Spansules would work just about perfect. I need a better source….

Hi. We’re aliens.

Um, you’re kinda yucky looking. What do you do?

Oh, mostly, we travel.

So you’re…

Yep. Traveling aliens.

Are you insectoid?

Well, a couple dimensions back, we were, but they had this population of killer bots in white jumpsuits called the Terminix, so we…

You traveled..

Oh yeah. And we morphed. Into millipedes.

Travel AND morph?

Well, we have skills. We’ve found most planets won’t let in unskilled aliens.

Bummer.

mikey,
Not neccessarily. Maybe the time traveling took place after the dimension traveling. Maybe they’re just generally traveling sort of aliens. The important thing is that they’re aliens. Maybe insectoid or maybe those giant lizards David Icke talks about. I’m not real sure where I’m going with this, only I often wonder how people who don’t do drugs have gotten through the past six years.
