    Yeah, my mom is a republican, and is one of the most left-wing libertarian people I know. Nest time, Neo-Con would fit better there

    I like my politics from Penn and Teller.

    I get all my politics out of a brown paper sack.

    Most of them are chewy and delicious.
  • edited October 2006
    Is the sack usually on fire by chance?
  • edited October 2006
    No, it's filled with snacks.

    Those must be some awesomely delicious politics.

    I hope you brought enough for the entire Orange Belt Community!!

    And the winner of the 2008 presidential election is a brown paper bag filled with tasty snacks.

    A box of Trix cereal has yet to comment on his unfortunate loss.

    I don't see the reason for drawing the head on, but i'm glad to know we didn't elect that guy.

    She wasn't looking the right way. Dumb reporter, ruining my skit.

    Wow, are high-tech eyelashes really the new frontier in cosmetic engineering? Or, more imporantly, are perfect eyelashes really that damned important? And here I was thinking that people gave more of a crap about stuff like being as big as a house, or having lots of big moles and warts in places where moles and warts just shouldn't be. And oh yeah, horrible scarring acne. I guess I could be wrong, though. Maybe eyelashes are super important.

    They keep shit out of your eyes. Why do you assume it's for cosmetic reasons only? seems rather useful to me.
  • edited October 2006
    Well damn, I never thought of it that way. Hmm, maybe eyelashes could be genetically engineered to do other useful things, like fighting bacteria and doing my taxes.

    Or adopting a secret identity and fighting crime!

    One day, while walking past a cosmetic surgery hospital, Jane Kirshman tripped on a discarded hot dog. While stumbling into the hospital, she fell into the eyelash extension room, $3000 and 3 hours later she became The EyeLasher! Devoted to fighting crime using the powers of her slightly longer eyelashes, such as...um... maybe like...entangling criminals?

    Coming 2008.

    Maybe it'll be like in that old NES game where you fought by whacking enemies with your hair.
  • edited October 2006
    You can do that in Guilty Gear, but that's not NES.
  • edited October 2006
    He's maybe referencing Clay Fighters? Or something even older? Like, for the actual NES?
  • edited October 2006
    Actually, it was an old Ninja Gaiden clone called Kabuki: Quantum Fighter.

    Inevitable Robot/Human War One Step Closer
    Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon

    Let the robot holocaust commence: robots think we taste like bacon.

    Researchers at NEC System technologies and Mie University have designed the cute little guy to the right: a metal man gastronomist, "an electromechanical sommelier", capable of identifying wines, cheeses, meats and hors d'oeuvres. Upon being given a sample, he will speak up in a childlike voice and identify what he has just been fed. The idea is that wineries can tell if a wine is authentic without even opening the bottle, amongst other more obscure uses...like "tell me what this strange grayish lump at the back of my freezer is/was."

    But when some smart aleck reporter placed his hand in the robot's omnivorous clanking jaw, he was identified as bacon. A cameraman then tried and was identified as prosciutto.

    Absolutely horrifying. Like cows, once robots taste blood, their hunger for human flesh can never be satiated.


    Also good news for cannibals I suppose.

    The electromechanical sommeliers were created by man...

    WTF?!?! Is it true that once cows taste blood, they desire human flesh? WOAH SHIT!

    Don't you remember the Great Bovine Rampage of '87?
  • edited November 2006
    no. Both are lies. People say that about bears, but that hasn't been proven either. They do however, consider anything they've eaten to be part of their potential food. So if a bear eats a human, then he won't turn one down in the future, but he doesn't go after humans exclusively.

    Eh...considoring I was born 6 years after that, no.
