Make your predictions as to who Obama will pick as his VP. If you want to choose more than one, list them in the order of highest probability first, lowest last. I'll save this thread, and when Obama announces his VP, I'll bring it back and we'll see which DUer or DUers got it right. And for those DUers who make multiple guesses, we'll see how close they were. Make a prediction!

Follow your gut instincts, and go for truthiness! Damn the science!!!!!!!! Damn the facts!!!! Damn offering accurate, non-emotional information!!! I also second the idea of digging through their trash to find out what the dogs are fed, and reporting that to the Animal Control people as well. You should also take a photograph of the dogs every five seconds, and give Animal Control that entire inventory of photos as well. Especially if you mark them up with a red pen with date and time and ambie...

is to make the person to whom you are trying to communicate an idea do all the work. It's just in their best interests, really, and keeps them being so fucking lazy as to expect a communicator to just hand them on a silver platter the information the communicator wants them to know. All the best books on communication will tell you that, as did all the professors and teachers I've ever had in my communications, speaking, and writing classes. "Speak with a minimal amount of information", they'd ...

Foolificate me once, the shamify me, but try it twice, then the third time's like throwifyin' stones at a bird in the bush in a poke. I like clearificating brush, with muh dogs and stuff like that. They barkify and fetchificate a lot and makes me laughicate and sometimes milks comes out my nose and then I yellify at Laura, "Laura!" I yellifies, "LAura! I gots me another milkified shirt for ya to clean!" Hee haw!! Cuz I'm, you know, cuz I'm the decidifier. And that's a lot of work! This ain't lik...

Yeah, it's good if you have no taste, have no care for quality, and are interested only in something that will fill your immense, non-selective stomach, preferably with as much empty-caloried fat and sugar as possible. Val Kilmer fucking SUCKED. Worst Batman ever. (not, mind you, the worst Batman movie ever - it's only second worse, after Batman and Robin - but he is absolutely the worst Batman ever).

And I love your symbolic use of the word "which" instead of "who" - so totally appropriate when talking about engineered "musical product". They really are "which"es.

I've always been bothered that punctuation at the end of a sentence has to be condensed into one - the mathematician in me wants total symmetry. And so, for example, your last sentence: I said "She said that her candidate was the 'best' and that my candidate was the 'worst'." Let's play with it a bit and directly quote the female, to give us: I said, "She said, 'My candidate is the "best" and your candidate is the "worst"'." And now, in Rabrrrrrr's preferred mathematically coherent system, ...

I'm 17 minutes into the first track, and it's frakking beautiful and wondrous and toe-curlingly spiritual and lubricious.

I mean, seriously, I want to be as liberally pure as any of you, and so, if I find out that any of the people you look up to or admire or have learned from or speak well of have ever - EVER - said or done anything that I might find "impure" - because in liberalism, total and utter and absolute purity is the only acceptable state of being - I will write you off as the worst possible piece of shit imaginable in the history of human evolution. In fact, you will be a lower form of scum than Ann Coul...

I'm gonna fold us into a reality in which Al Gore lost the election to George Bush in 2000, our country was attacked by Saudi Arabian/Al Qaeda terrorists in late 2001, we went to war with Iraq in response in 2003, the economy has tanked, John Kerry lost to George Bush ibn 2004, Republican crimes go unpunished even after a miraculous democratic majority came into power in 2006, the economy continues to tank, the US is considering war with Iran in response to some kind of non-existent attack that ...

Jesus and Buddha are out golfing. No, wait, not golfing - that's a different joke - they're picking out a car. And Mohammed is there, too. I forgot to mention that. Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed are picking out a car, and they get to the lot. No, wait, it can't be a car or that'll ruin the joke - it's a truck. They're looking for a truck. NO, they're not all looking for a truck, Jesus is looking for a truck, and Buddha, Mohammed, and Zoroastar are helping him pick it. Did I mention Zoroastar is th...

One is the rightwingers are more willing to just make shit up and boldly lie. They don't have the more academic worldview of liberals/progressives (who tend to be better educated, anyway) that asks for footnotes, citations, evidence, etc. Rightwingers will go more on "gut instinct" (and we've seen where "gut instinct" has gotten us in seven years...), which generally means "Follow my prejudices and biases and damn the evidence". Rightwingers are more willing to believe anonymous bullshit, esp....

Empty and alone and hopeless, left in a pool of ichorous despair on the basement floor of doom. Never, ever take a risk, people, or work hard at what you love. Follow the footsteps of Warren Buffet, Sam Walton, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Ben & Jerry, Bill Clinton, Abbie Hoffman, Cy Twombly, Monet, Rodin, Beethoven, Liszt, Edison, Fulton, and all those other fucking idiot loser uppity jackasses who thought that they could do better on their own, and none of whom, I'm sure, has health insurance. B...

with alien chemicals, elements that we've never heard of, that would be positioned in the interstitials of our Periodic Table, which is a purely made up abomination from the NSA and KGB anyway. I mean, look - on 9/11 I was in Oklahoma, and I looked to the east and I did not ANY smoke - AT ALL - clearly the WTC attacks NEVER HAPPENED, and any "evidence" that says it did is just the Area 51 aliens fucking with our minds with their elements that the world scientific community - because they want t...

and arrogant, power-mad clueless puffed up know-it-all popinjay as a 35-years-long-career assistant manager at a Burger King until he died of a brain aneurysm masturbating to pics of Natalie Portman with his dick greased up with fry oil.

should be wiped from the face of the earth. And, by proxy - just to be safe - everyone associated with or who saw Dirty Dancing - should also be wiped from earth. And all their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Standard rules: ten words or more in the blank. The more insane and twisted, the better. Go!

Music that all sounds the same, the we're-alternative-but-wear-the-same-uniforms, sensitive music that all sounds the same and the whole Celtic-as-Lifestyle nincompoopery. Not to say there isn't something legitimate within Celtic culture and history. It's just the bizarre American-style co-opting of an ancient and wondrous culture into a so-called "alternative" movement that's as much based on capitalist consumption and marketing as the world they are trying so desperately to pretend they aren...

who discovered "Celtic" a few years ago and now doodles Celtic patterns while he's on the phone and his wife wears clothing with lots of draping and flowage and muted colors and lets her hair grow long and their last name is von Schlitzenhausen, but that's okay, because they speak in soft voices and use lilac soap and their matching Volvos have shamrocks hanging off the rear view mirrors and they read books about flower gardens when they're not touring to support the release of the 17th CD they'...

I hate shopping because of the jarheads who block aisles and intersections, block access, talk on their cellphones loudly, walk four abreast, walk in the wrong direction, bump into me and get indignant, treat cashiers like dirt, and slob around shopping wearing sweatsuits or other clothing inappropriate for public and watching a hundred clueless morons chewing wads of gum like fucking cows who've had lobotomies. I hate going to movies because of the talkers and the shitbag filth who can't eat w...

I'll NEVER believe it! NEVER!!!!!! That would mean the music industry is actively engaged not in providing integrity-based music/art to the people, but is offering us only musical product scientifically engineered for specific demographics for consumption by people who only consume their art based on what magazines and marketers tell them they like, and not through due consideration of the merits of the music/art itself and their own interests!!!!! That's not America at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go for it!

As they flocked around him and SOteric, he _________ flashbulb." For the advanced players, try this one: As they flocked around him and SOteric, he _________ blood _______ hellishly enraged leprechaun _________ tractor ________ pancakes __________ love song ___________ chimed 18 times _________ horticulturist _________ palindrome _________ eyes like burning coals ____________ flaming pumpkin ____________ funicular _________ Emile Berliner ________ flashbulb."

who were never good enough after high school to do anything but get a shitty job and, if lucky, to get to coach a sport for high school. Those bosses will be the obnoxious assholes who think motivational speeches, posters, and a "110% attitude" are all that are needed, while he diddles his secretary, defines himself by his possessions, crawls into alcoholism (and not even with top shelf alcohol; most likely cheap beer or blended scotch), and eventually kills himself because his life has had no m...

I've seen it - it's bloody hilarious!! Don't forget to watch!

then I'm not surprised, judging by the lack of depth in your other thinking. And if you don't know why I'm angry, then I'm also not surprised, judging by your complete inability to understand even the most simple of sentences. And if you don't understand why I "covered all the bases", then I'm yet again not at all surprised - I totally expected that you wouldn't, because to understand it would go against every other response of complete misunderstanding you've posted here. Good luck in your p...

and then spend the next 50 minutes of the show sitting around House's office making uncomfortable small talk, drinking coffee, eating donuts, and otherwise just sitting there while the camera keeps on rolling... I think it would be hilarious!

Too difficult.
