Crimso said...: If anyone is interested in signing my White House petition to establish a Bureau of Sabotage (Wiki it if you're not familiar), it is currently linked at Instapundit. Thank you for your consideration of my efforts (h/t to commenter JorgXMcKie, a comment of whose the other day got me to thinking...).

If they establish it within the specified timeframe, it could conceivably stop the wasteful Death Star project.; 12/21/12, 8:17 PM

Chip Ahoy said...: The duck calling rednecks just ran their episode about this. The woman obsessed with the tree made the men do all her bidding without lifting a finger herself. At one point I shut off the sound because they were in nature looking at a wide variety of trees and it was 5 minutes of no, not that one, no not that one, no not that one, no not that one, bink, checked back later at the tree farm where it's all perfect trees, no not that one, no not that one, no not that one, no not that one, bink, so back home the guy goes, "the key to decorating the tree is do as poorly as possible." Drapes the wires like a spaz and all the women go nuts all at once giving orders but he persists in his spaz lighting drapery and the women converge and take over he winks at the camera and sits down while the women sort the wiring to their satisfaction and finish the tree with all the kids in love and with harmony prevailing throughout their - trailer?

It was vitally important the tree be 8' back there so the viewer expects a room that can hold it so insistent was the demand. But no. Back at the house you can reach up and touch the ceiling but it didn't occur to either one the tree will not fit. The viewer sees immediately once the interior is shown that it will not. So the whole thing is implausible. The ceiling way too low, pardon me ladies, but woman nor redneck would make that mistake and the chainsaw inside is too facial for it not to be anticipated and part of the show. And the Santa bag, of course, evidence we're being put on.; 12/21/12, 9:34 PM
john said...: ... the end of the world will not happen but their meteorologists predict temperatures on Friday to be in the low to mid 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.... US President Obama has not been able to get a hold of God as the White House hotline phone was disconnected under President Bush and the US has not been able to clear the backlog of negative Karma and spiritual depravity in order to get the phone turned back on. There were secret reports that even the White House line of Karma credits was blocked by God’s Earth Commission.

There are reports that Obama attempted to get Netanyahu’s secret number but when CIA agent’s obtained it from the Mossad it was also blocked due to arguments over Christ.; 12/21/12, 9:38 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: A lot my comments would be in the form of a question if it wasn't for our lord and master Google.

I start out asking and in the middle I change my mind and say this sounds like a good idea, so much so I'm going to promote it and sell it.

¿Wham-o!

¿Drafts are finished!; 12/21/12, 11:16 PM
Deb said...: I hate to say it, but except for the accent, and the red hair, reminds me of my mother, may she rest in peace. (sorry, mom but you know it's true.); 12/22/12, 9:26 AM
Wince said...: Very funny, but somebody's got mother issues.; 12/22/12, 10:16 AM
Biff said...: I grew up in a certain part of New Jersey. The guy in the video absolutely nailed it.; 12/22/12, 10:55 AM
Synova said...: I made the kids put the tree up (yes, we have a fake one) and I was telling them to put the decorations on and stuff and then I started laughing and I had to explain... and demonstrate... "Look at the treeee!"

LOL.; 12/22/12, 4:25 PM
