Knock it off with the "funny" vanities. We've got enough of the funnies in the news already.

[Jim Robinson]

You can't top the funny stuff that's coming out for real so give it up already! You can't make this stuff up.

That is all.

Thanks

[Sam Cree]

Hey! it's ok, seriesly ;-)

[Ichneumon]

You can't top the funny stuff that's coming out for real so give it up already! You can't make this stuff up.

Case in point (from this ABC article):

Arianna Huffington: "What I've been saying about his treatment of women and what is part of continuum of lack of respect ...which we saw when he put no women on his economic team even though there are dozens of brillant [sic] women in California."

Personally, I would have estimated that there were a lot more than just a few dozen brilliant women among the 18 million women in California, but if Arianna says so...

I'll bet they're all Freepers though.

Thanks for the heads up on Miami!

Go Cornhuskers!

All your moose-biting, cheese, tin-foil-hat, overused expressions are belong to us!

I used to work with a guy who was incredibly clever at making a sex joke out of almost anything a person said.

Our dorm had one of those in college. You'd say something like "I'm going to the store to get some beer." Then he'd say "So you're gonna get some, heh, heh."

If he'd spent half as much effort on his courses as he did on his stupid jokes, he wouldn't have flunked out.

A reporter called me today and after a few of her questions it became obvious that she had a severe tilt to the left (I mean beyond the fact that she works for the Bee). After she finished asking all of her questions, I asked if I could ask her one question. Sure she says.

Ok, Do you love America?

What do you mean?

I mean, Do you love your country?

Long pause. Why do you ask?

I mean, if you love America, wouldn't you want to defend her when she's under attack?

Another long pause. Well, I really can't get into that. I'm a reporter and I have to be fair.

Fair? C'mon, if you loved America, there'd be no doubt that you'd want to defend her when she's under attack. That would be the patriotic thing to do.

I'm sorry, but we have to remain fair.

Fair? You mean liberal?

No, and that's what THEY say about us. They say we're too conservative.

Laughing out loud. No, the press is definitely liberal. Especially the Fresno Bee. Did you know they used to be called the Fresno Democrat?

Pregnant pause. No.

Lots of laughter. Even my wife is rolling on the floor by now.

Who is that laughing she asks (I'm on a speaker phone).

My wife.

Well, I've go to go. Can I call you back if I have any more questions?

LOL Yeah, sure.

[TheBigB]

Some expressions are just a little bit overused.

I can't stop it..

It's coming...

Please no...

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!

[Admin Moderator]

I could top it if I was having a good day. leben.

[NormsRevenge]

LMAO ... Great exchange with that reporter ! Thanks for sharing it.

sounds like a California university journalism grad, no doubt. ;-)

[Mudboy Slim]

De nada...the lucky durned 'Canes pulled it out again...what an amzing catch by Winslow on 4th and 13 to keep that game-winning drive alive.

FReegards...MUD

BTW...I'm a Husker fan, too!!

[Mudboy Slim]

The Yanks did what they hadta do, but I'll bet the Twins are pretty happy to return to the HomerDome with a split.

FReegards...MUD

And speaking of California and weird stuff:

I had a similar experience with that channel 26 reporterette in Fresno when she interviewed me about the recall, and when I asked her some questions about her beliefs she gave me the same run-around. Think it could've been the same woman, Jim?

[democrats_nightmare]

Morning bump.

What do you think of the nickname GrandmasterZot?

[DCBurgess58]

So who died and made you boss? What... oh, you are the boss. Oh, sorry, my bad. I'll just check the kitchen now, I think I smell something burning.

The only thing I have to say is, "I glad I live in Virginia".
