Ann Althouse said...: Took me a while to understand "Backdoor Lama." I was afraid it was some kind of sexual innuendo. Then I remembered the Dalai Lama visiting the White House and leaving by the back door, by the trash bags.; 2/23/10, 4:40 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Sorry, ricpic. That went too far.; 2/23/10, 4:41 PM

virgil xenophon said...: Actually, it should be his nose that is stretching, given he is an even greater liar than our man Slick Willie...; 2/23/10, 6:59 PM
mrs whatsit said...: I suspect that the talented Chip Ahoy is an Ogden Nash fan. As in:

"The one-l lama, he's a priest;
The two-l llama, he's a beast --
But I will bet a silk pajama
There isn't any three-l lama.*

*The author's attention has been drawn to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Pooh."; 2/23/10, 7:15 PM
As my whimsy leads me.. said...: Proving, Mrs. Whatsit, the proper pronunciation: puh-JAH-muh!

Awesome work, Chip -- thanks to you, and to the good Professor for posting it so we could all enjoy it.; 2/23/10, 8:24 PM
Penny said...: LOL mrswhatsit. It's the internet age, ma'am. Before we get to the end of this post, you will be naked.; 2/23/10, 8:45 PM
David said...: "Goddamnit, stop goofing around."

Good advice for O.

Probably something heard (hears?) quite often in his formative years.

Penny said...: That's the difference between presidents and their supporters, as well as their naysayers.

Is there any possible way presidents could be seen as "fooling around"?

We might not always like what they are doing, or what they seem to stand for, but "fooling around"?

That would seem to be the gift given only to people like me and you and Chip, and heck, Chip sometimes lets me braid his nose hair. He's old fashioned that way.; 2/23/10, 9:56 PM
Johanna Lapp said...: Aw, Mrs Whatsit: A three-l lama is what happens when Janet Reno's jackbooted thugs show the folks in Waco who's in charge around here.; 2/23/10, 10:23 PM
The Crack Emcee said...: Daaaaaaaaamn, Chipper. See, now that's what I'm talking about! You can even see it in the other responses: it captures perfectly the absurdity of these times.; 2/23/10, 11:39 PM
Steve said...: It shows a beatific St. Barak, praying to heaven while a divine light graces his countenance, and a suitably fuzzed out Rahm (as the apostle Paul) whispers in his ear "sic transit gloria."
Or at least I am hoping that it is transiting.; 2/27/10, 11:21 AM
dave1310 said...: Rahm! Is this the teabagger position? How about this? Or this?; 2/27/10, 11:29 AM
algie said...: Big O's got a problem for sure
He's frantically seeking a cure
But he's such a phony
A real one trick pony
His chance for success is quite poor
