Thanks, Pete! I love those guys. I hope HBO reruns their show at some point.

On a side note, I think just about any other form of English language humor is superior to ours these days. We're far too angry and uptight to be funny any more. :(

Relax it is POITS day.

One of the actors in that series, can't remember which one, does the voice of Wallace in the Wallace & Gromit films. I really love those!

Thanks for the Chuckles, Bro! Although Friday doesn't count this week, I'm workin' the weekend again. Gotta go grease those Capitalist wheels with my proletarian blood. Oh, what in the hell am I talkin' about? I love it, the grime, the noise....the smell of money being made, my Friends.

Enjoy your weekend! Trust that I will keep the fire stoked.

The Washington Post has published the winning submissions to its yearly neologism contest, in which readers are asked to supply alternative meanings for common words.

The winners are:

1. Coffee (n.), the person upon whom one coughs.

2. Flabbergasted (adj.), appalled over how much weight you have gained.

3. Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.

4. Esplanade (v.), to attempt an explanation while drunk.

5. Willy-nilly (adj.), impotent.

6. Negligent (adj.), describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightgown.

7. Lymph (v.), to walk with a lisp.

8. Gargoyle (n), olive-flavored mouthwash.

9. Flatulence (n.) emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller.

10. Balderdash (n.), a rapidly receding hairline.

11. Testicle (n.), a humorous question on an exam.

12. Rectitude (n.), the formal, dignified bearing adopted by proctologists.

13. Pokemon (n), a Rastafarian proctologist.

14. Oyster (n.), a person who sprinkles his conversation with Yiddishisms.

15. Frisbeetarianism (n.), (back by popular demand): The belief that, when you die, your soul flies up onto the roof and gets stuck there.

16. Circumvent (n.), an opening in the front of boxer shorts worn by Jewish men.


The Washington Post's Style Invitational also asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Here are this year's winners:

1. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

2. Foreploy (v): Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

3. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

4. Giraffiti (n): Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

5. Sarchasm (n): The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

6. Inoculatte (v): To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

7. Hipatitis (n): Terminal coolness.

8. Osteopornosis (n): A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit).

9. Karmageddon (n): its like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

10. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

11. Glibido (v): All talk and no action.

12. Dopeler effect (n): The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

13. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

14. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

15. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating.

And the pick of the literature:


16. Ignoranus (n): A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

It's true that Obama has broken many stereotypes white folks have.

Consider, he's proved that not all black folks have rhythm.

piece-itpete 03-05-2010 11:32 AM

Enjoy! I thought the questions were funny too:

Libs:

http://politicalhumor.about.com/libr...beral-quiz.htm

Cons:

http://politicalhumor.about.com/libr...ative-quiz.htm


Me? :

Result: Freedom Crusader
You are a Freedom Crusader, also known as a neoconservative. You believe in taking the fight directly to the enemy, whether it’s terrorists abroad or the liberal terrorist appeasers at home who give them aid and comfort.


Hey, whaddya know :)

JJIII 03-05-2010 11:49 AM

You are an Anti-government Gunslinger, also known as a libertarian conservative or Tea Partier. You believe in smaller government, states’ rights, gun rights, and that, as Reagan once said, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’"

D-ray had me pegged!

Boreas 03-05-2010 11:50 AM

You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.

Any surprises?

John

You know, as "unserious" as the questions in that quiz were, I feel good being described this way.

John

d-ray657 03-05-2010 12:39 PM

OK, how many are surprised by this result:

You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.

Regards,

D-Ray

d-ray657 03-05-2010 12:51 PM

I reversed the exercise and took the Con quiz, selecting the least offensive of the choices, but answering each question. The result:

You are a Free Marketeer, also known as a fiscal conservative. You believe in free-market capitalism, tax cuts, and protecting your hard-earned cash from pick-pocketing liberal socialists.

There is a small kernel of accuracy in the result, in that I would have a lot more faith in the market if we actually had a free market, rather than one manipulated by the corporate oligarchy.

Regards,

D-Ray

finnbow 03-05-2010 01:31 PM

You are a Reality-Based Intellectualist, also known as the liberal elite. You are a proud member of what’s known as the reality-based community, where science, reason, and non-Jesus-based thought reign supreme.

Seems like they pegged me fairly well, other than I don't think of myself as either liberal or elite.

I also tried to do the Conservative test, but couldn't get through it. I couldn't find too many answers that reflect my thinking.

Aw, don't be so modest. We think of you as liberal and elite. ;)

Me either. I couldn't even find answers that I didn't find a little offensive. :)

I'm sorry, Pete, but I didn't find it funny at all. Nearly everything Right Wingers think of as humor has an element of violence and intolerance in it.
