I still support a Barry/Obama ticket

Big 3 Emissions? I know of number one and number two, but what is the Big 3 emission they are referring to?
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlýff | January 31, 2008 at 09:57 AM
1. burp
2. fart
#. Al Gore
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 09:58 AM
See Baron, Siouxie knows that there is never a #3.
Posted by: wickedwitch | January 31, 2008 at 10:00 AM
Last night Huckabee was feeling like a Big 3 emission. Nobody would play with him.
(thank goodness Simi Valley is downwind)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 10:02 AM
1. burp
2. fart
3. teenage boys with Victoria's Secret catalogs
Posted by: Chicken choker | January 31, 2008 at 10:05 AM
I believe the
thirdlast emission is usually nocturnal.Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 31, 2008 at 10:08 AM
They need to contact NASA...Emission Control.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | January 31, 2008 at 10:16 AM
Nocturnal emissions are too ghastly to contemplate
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 31, 2008 at 10:18 AM
Messy too.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 10:25 AM
I'm here. Look at me.
Posted by: Mike Huckabee | January 31, 2008 at 10:26 AM
Maybe Mike should change his name to Wannabee.

*secretly wishes the American Idol judges could judge this juggernaut*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 10:33 AM
*zips in*™
Boy, Dave is really busy posting this morning. He must be having a quiet day in RL.
And
YAY for Calaifornia for trying to do something about noxious emissions.
Posted by: Eleanor | January 31, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Still, their Governor *is* supporting McCain; so what does that tell you?
Posted by: Steve Haller | January 31, 2008 at 10:38 AM
That he's more intelligent than I thought, Steve. ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 10:46 AM
If he's so intelligent, why isn't he supporting Dave?
Posted by: Steve Haller | January 31, 2008 at 11:01 AM
Is it me, or does Huckabee look like he's trying to describe 'huge boobies' in a game of charades?
Posted by: ellie | January 31, 2008 at 11:14 AM
I'm afraid it's just you Ellie:-)
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 31, 2008 at 11:24 AM
I think the impassioned look on Huck's face supports your interpretation, ellie.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 31, 2008 at 11:36 AM
Well, Steve - that would certainly be the best option, but you can't blame the guy for promoting himself. :-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 11:40 AM
PS - ELLLIEEEE!!!! Bwahahahah! I had to go back and look at the picture. Soooooo funny!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 11:40 AM
He was actually trying to get the waiter's attention, but alas.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 11:47 AM
John Edwards had that same look in the last Democratic debate. Kinda like the kid in school that had all of the answers and the teacher keeps ignoring him in an attempt to get the rest of the class involved.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 11:57 AM
HEY! I was that kid.
And yes, I still am. ;P
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 12:04 PM
That I had figured out Annie NTTAWWT. ;)
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 12:08 PM
I figured I'd say it before you did.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Recovering 24 - I think it will be more of a Barry/Clinton ticket. That would be Bill Clinton, since he and Dave see eye-to-eye on a basic Constitutional right
Posted by: Merri Lee | January 31, 2008 at 12:27 PM
Me, too, Annie.
(sigh)
Posted by: Mike Huckabee | January 31, 2008 at 12:54 PM
You gotta get your hand up there, Mikey. You can take McCain. He's old and cranky. Play him like a 5-string bass.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 12:56 PM
That would be the number of hairs on McCain's head, Annie
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 01:09 PM
I thought that was more like the number on Charlie Brown's head, Jazzzz.
As for brains, I'm figuring about half this blog grew up setting the bell curve in class.
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 01:12 PM
Ms. Bell had some curves....not that I noticed
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 01:14 PM
Oh, come on, Jazzzz. You didn't notice these?
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 01:18 PM
Yep, that's Ms. Bell.
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 01:25 PM
and she's been rung a few too many times.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 01:26 PM
Dong Dong Dong *emmission*
Posted by: random thunking | January 31, 2008 at 01:36 PM
I always thought she was pretty, but I had NO idea how hot she was until I saw that!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 01:38 PM
After all of the recent incidents with teachers getting busy with their students I found myself wishing I could go back in time to when I was in school. Then it occurred to me most of my female teachers looked like this. Needless to say I'd rather stay past drinking age.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 01:42 PM
random....need a smoke?
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 01:43 PM
I can't tell you how disappointed I am that Arnold is supporting McCain. I'm from AZ, and I don't want McCain as our next pres. I prefer Romney. McCain is too much of a Democrat for my tastes.
Of course, when I say "too much of a Democrat" I do not mean anyone in this forum who also happens to be a Democrat.
Posted by: Schadeboy | January 31, 2008 at 01:51 PM
the only emissions from that group was enough hot air to power the hindenburg. and then it blowed up real good. and that bloviated gasbag romney is the worst of them. yikes, is he plastic! ever since obama announced he wanted change, they all want change. i only got 78 cents. i think i will go for what is behind door #3, Monty. or vote Dave Barry.
Posted by: queensbee | January 31, 2008 at 01:57 PM
Especially those that carry machetes and guns, Schade.
Posted by: wickedwitch | January 31, 2008 at 01:58 PM
LOL - nice backpedaling, Schade!!

RIGHT with you, Jazzzzie, mah love!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 02:13 PM
loolooloolooloolooloo
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 02:17 PM
What's your opinion, Mr. Blog, unofficial candidate for President (YOTUS)?
Posted by: Kathybear | January 31, 2008 at 02:19 PM
Oh, come on, kathyb - you know better than that! He agrees with the American people! ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 02:25 PM
I thought Arnold would endorse Romney to lock down the "chiseled good looks" vote.
I also wanted the presidential election to be decided by an Obama vs Romney Speedo contest :-D
Posted by: Merri Lee | January 31, 2008 at 02:47 PM
Merri - WHY couldn't you have posted that BEFORE I ate my lunch! It would have made a wonderful appetite suppressant.
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 02:48 PM
Merri, we have to give all the candidates equal time. That means Dave AND Hillary in Speedos™
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 02:54 PM
Well, there goes my dinner instead! (Hillary, NOT Dave).
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 02:58 PM
When asked, Sen. Clinton looked a bit surprised.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 03:01 PM
*has brain bleach ready to pass out*
Hows about McCain and Huckabee in Speedos ™
Posted by: random thunking | January 31, 2008 at 03:01 PM
Honestly, Hillary post-Watergate and pre-White House wasn't a bad looking woman. Being married to Bill is probably harder on her than being President would be.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 03:06 PM
*grabs brain bleach from random, swigs, passes out*
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 03:08 PM
I agree, Rick. She has not aged well. And HE still looks decent. NOT FAIR.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 03:08 PM
Well Siouxie, I believe it's because sex keeps you young :-D
Posted by: Merri Lee | January 31, 2008 at 03:10 PM
Coulter is CREEPY. That is all.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | January 31, 2008 at 03:11 PM
Is it just me, or is Huckabee doing a "I'm telling ya, the fish was THIS big," impression.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | January 31, 2008 at 03:14 PM
nah, Elon. Ellie nailed it earlier. ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 03:24 PM
Elon, that is because she is the offspring of a jack-a-lope and a Borg. She never had a chance.
Posted by: wickedwitch | January 31, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Snork @ WW! Best description I've ever heard of the woman.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 03:36 PM
ww - you got that right. I thought that picture was stretched at first. Nope. Just her.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 03:42 PM
*has secret hots for jackelope/Borg offspring*
Posted by: CJrun | January 31, 2008 at 03:56 PM
In her case, you can judge a book by its cover.

Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 04:01 PM
Wyo is going to be soooo peeved when he sees this. He's not counter-Coulter.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 04:01 PM
Thanks for distracting him, Sioux.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 04:03 PM
The funny part of this is that I posted the link and I consider myself more toward the conservative point of view. I just think the poor woman looks like a very mannish giraffe and her views skew way to far to the right for my liking.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 04:09 PM
BTW, Mannish Giraffe WBAGNFARB.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 04:12 PM
It's not her Conservativsm, so much as the fact that according to her I am a traitor twice over, being both a non-Christian and a scientist.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | January 31, 2008 at 04:13 PM
And a man, Edgar. Don't forget that!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 04:16 PM
Annie, I was going to flash again, but I think we're all out of eye bleach.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 04:17 PM
Until she called John Edwards "the other f-word," I'd heard of Ann Coulter, knew what she looked like and that she was a right-wing pundit, but never paid her (or any other pundit) any mind. So when people were calling her homophobic on the news I was thinking, "But isn't he gay? Wait...THAT'S A WOMAN??"
Posted by: Merri Lee | January 31, 2008 at 04:18 PM
At times of political uncertainly like these just ask yourself, "What Would Dave Do?" WWDD
The answer will probably have something to do with one of the three emissions.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | January 31, 2008 at 04:20 PM
Huckabee still looks like President Handbag.
Posted by: SarahO (scat) | January 31, 2008 at 04:26 PM
Well, then, I guess it's my turn to flash.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 04:27 PM
Thank God! I was afraid Annie's link was to a nursing home full of old women flashing. Or Mike Huckabee. Either way I would have been vomiting non stop for the next few days.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 04:46 PM
*ahem*
Well this MAY take care of one of the three...

YOWCH, Afkat! I'm a girl and even I can feel the pinch of that!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 05:13 PM
Diva, when you wake up please pass me the brain bleach. Thanks Afkat.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 05:16 PM
This will work just as well.
The Sleeve!
Um..warning.

I'm just now joining the blog. But I can say that without reading the entire thread, 3 1/2 inches and excellent are terms rarely combined in a single sentence. Repeatedly, never.
