Archive: Breaking! Lincon - Douglas style Debate for VPs

I think I'm in love
Can sculpt her from memory
That sounded creepy

Dateline Obama HQ. Shortly after a text message and an email sent out by the Obama camp, Joe Biden attempted to release a statement on youtube, however it was rejected for length. This reporter was lucky enough to snatch the carbon sheets before being 86'd from the joint.

Here are a few excerpts:
"Good morning, I am pleased to announce that after a long and arduous road, that wound from one side of this majestic topiary to the other side of this serious but sensitive nation of ours, I Joseph Biden am running for the nomination for the vice presidency of these united States of America."

It rambles on for a while but here is some juicy stuff:
"If it's a three hour debate that crochety gentleman wants it's a three hour debate he will get!"

After pouring over the thirty page single spaced document (reading backwards off a carbon sheet), I think that Joe Biden is not challenging his Republican counterpart but the whole party.

He writes, "I don't care who you are if they want to debate and your a blood sucking fascist mutant, we will verbally tear the flesh from your bones!" The rest of the transcript is incoherent and describes a post-apocalyptic scene-scape that, interestingly and creatively diverts from biblical imagery.

If it's one thing that this reporter is that would be excited. These debates will be a Hunter S. Thompsian jungle fight to the death, with the last man as the Vice President chosen by the Gods. According to the transcript the debate will take place after New Mexico is swallowed by the worm goddess.

(Update: those carbon sheets that I snatched from Obama HQ was in fact a manuscript of a short story that a senior staffer was in the middle of showing the Senior Senator from Delaware. I will review that story latter this week)

Post-Ironic Devotional: Parenting Advice From a Single Childless Male


It is wonderful that you always want to be close to your baby, however, when it is time to do the dishes, it is a good idea to put your child back in his/her crib. 


I know it's difficult enough to hold a dish with wet soapy hands. I imagine it would be much harder to keep a good grip on a baby in the same condition.

Post-Ironic Devotional: Collective Nouns


Ever look at a group of things, birds or mammals or fish, are at a loss for what to call that grouping of individual things and up resorting to the term "set." So next time you encounter a group of the following list of things or are so bored in a social setting that you start thinking about oddities in the English language and are bold enough to interrupt the conversation about some inane t.v. program you have never seen but seems to be keeping the interest of the girl/guy you have been talking to half the night better than anything you said. So, it might just be time to jump ship and what better way to tell a girl/guy that you are no longer interested in trying than with a good list of collective nouns:

Crows - Everyone knows a group of crows is called a murder, so let someone else say it
Owls-A parliament of owls
Ravens - An unkindness of ravens
Hummingbirds, Goldfinches, Finches, Magpies can all be called a charm.

Don't spend too much time inside, even during a cold week. It will really mess you up man.

Creativity is only the ability to recognize and foster self-doubt. What the Germans call Selbstzweifel.

The movie Little Giants has brainwashed a generation of football fans to hate the Cowboys. Does it count as brainwashing if the washed brain sees the truth?

If you get sea sick, don't throw up in the boat. You have a whole lake to throw up in the fish will be happy, your boatmates will not.

If you don't like something, don't try it. If you do try it, you will eventually become used to it and learn not to hate it anymore. This happened to me and 'Mad TV.'

When writing the autobiographical novels about yourself, try to not only change the names, but change some genders as well. For instance, did you know Zelda Fitzgerald was actually a man?*

Oh heavenly sky above me, give me today a light drizzle, that I might be able to complain bitterly during work, yet not actually be inconvenienced in any way

Amen.

when you see ftw in a sentence online, e.g.: "i worked 3 hours today. ftw" that means feed the whale. Thus, "I worked 3 hours today. Feed the whale!"

yes the internet is very odd.

Think before you speak. But don't think too hard. It'll probably stop you from speaking.
