I Had A Really Scary And Dangerous Moment Today When A Huge Chunk Of Something Landed On My Car.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

Scared the crap out of me. I had no idea what the fuck it was or where it came from at first, but it totally jumped me out of my skin as I was drivin. But after I looked at it for a bit I thought I had a hunch as to what it was.

First thing I did when I got home was log onto DU to see if my suspicions had merit. Took me all of 10 seconds in GD to confirm my theory. Yup. The sky was indeed falling.

[JeffR]

1. DUzy n/t

[Raster]

20. You found that worthy of your little award?

[MrCoffee]

27. "little award"? Pull up your pants, your ass is showing.

After you've hitched up your ride, sit down and STFU.

[Raster]

28. And you also!

STFU, yeah, good advice for you also, eh?

[JeffR]

29. Yes.

And I don't have to agree with him to find it funny.

[Raster]

33. Gotcha. My apologies for my snark.

[arcadian]

35. I don't find humor in the shredding of the U.S. Constitution.

Call me old fashion.

[JeffR]

36. The Constitution essentially ceased to exist the day the Supreme Court installed Bush.

Today's vote, by comparison, was just a poor political calculation by the candidate, and an even worse one by the Party leadership.

Neither by bang nor whimper does this qualify as the end of the world.

Does it piss me off? Yep, mightily.

Is the OP funny, even if I disagree with it? Yep, I think it is.

[arcadian]

38. Fair enough.

I too find humor in the morose sometimes, this is like a punch in the gut to me though.

[JeffR]

40. That's fair enough too.

I didn't mean to disparage what you're saying. I guess I passed the point long ago where laughing and crying are pretty indistinguishable. It all just sucks.

[hootinholler]

21. I was fixin to send it to ya!

Thanks! saved me a PM.

-Hoot

[Mojorabbit]

2. Thanks for your

empathy to those of us who are really upset today and who worked hard to stop the passing of this bill.
I won't say what I really feel like saying.

[Greyskye]

3. You forgot the visual

[EconomyCollapsesInUS]

4. That Was Just The Fourth Amendment

Nothing to see here, move along please.

[lukasahero]

5. Didn't you mean to add "again" to your punch line?

:)

[LSK]

6. Impossible!!!!

The sky has fallen many times before in the past 7 years. How many times can it fall before there is no sky left to fall?

[Condem]

7. Beautiful, OMC

I have no ass left. I just laughed it off.

[Hydra]

8. You know, I could say something really snide

And I mean HUGELY below the belt considering how much you just spit on the constitution, but I'll do better. I'll let you in on a little secret.

I ENJOY the idea of an America without laws, without protections, without the illusion of justice and the betterment of the world.

Today was a great step in that direction.

Welcome to the new reality.

[TheWatcher]

13. What would be the point?

The only thing the OP has to do is open his mouth, and the striking examples of his complete and utter irrelevance will flow forth freely like water breaking from a Dam.

He cares little to naught about that which you posted, nor anything that truly matters.

He exists mostly to incite reaction, or call attention to himself with what could only be described as embarrassing attempts at cleverness and wit.

The best option is to Ignore, and not waste your time.

26. Malcolm X put it well:

"I want Dr. King to know that I didn't come to Selma to make his job difficult. I really did come thinking I could make it easier. If the white people realize what the alternative is, perhaps they will be more willing to hear Dr. King."

[kimmerspixelated]

15. You forgot the Sarcasm thing-right?

[Hydra]

22. No actually

I argue for rule of law so passionately because I well know what anarchy is like.

On the other hand, I am quite capable of dealing with a world where murder and theft are the order of the day. It's less complicated, and stupid people are rare- they die quickly.

[kimmerspixelated]

41. Hydra

sometimes you scare me... not there's anything wrong with that!

[Hydra]

42. :D

Then I've done my job well.

The direction this nation is taking and the people who are claiming the dire necessity for those actions will take us places NONE of us should EVER want to go...but if we are hell bent on it, I'm not a pacifist or a moralist. I can easily adapt to such a world...but I wonder how many of the people cheering this on will be able to?

The worst thing the universe can do to you is to give you what you ask for.

[mmonk]

9. When do we run out of these insignificant matters?

[MrCoffee]

10. Does your insurance cover that?

Would it be an act of God?

[Mike Nelson]

11. Chicken Little was Right...

DUCK!

[Fox Mulder]

12. All we did was lose our Fourth Amendment rights today.

I mean, that's no big deal, right?

:sarcasm: :eyes:

[Occam Bandage]

14. Yeah, that's an accurate statement. Just yesterday a cop slapped cuffs on me on the street

and started rifling through my backpack.

[Fox Mulder]

16. ...

:eyes:

Yeah, I appreciate snide remarks.

And you know, that could happen now. Don't say I didn't warn you.

[Occam Bandage]

17. I'll keep your warnings in mind.

[Guaranteed]

30. Yeah, cuz Congress can DO that without amending the Constitution- right?

If it's unconstitutional, we'll just get it struck down, like we have with the rest of Bush's bullshit.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

18. Whoa!

:spray: :rofl: That cracked me up, bigtime!

Good one, OMC

[Yes We Did]

19. You weren't driving through detroit were you?

Happens all the time there. LOL

[NoGOPZone]

23. That happens a lot on Route 22 in Hillside nt

[LanternWaste]

24. Sometimes I think

Sometimes I think the prophets of doom exist not only in Sunday morning evangelical shows on local access cable stations...

[LanternWaste]

25. Delete/dupe

Delete/dupe

[Stinky The Clown]

31. HaHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You got me. I was hooked right to the very end of your post.

[ecstatic]

32. Hmm... Not quite as funny when it actually happens

at 80 mph, as it happened to me when the careless pickup truck driver in front of me lost his load and kept going. :shrug:

[TZ]

34. In other news..

WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!111!!!:sarcasm:
Funny thread OMC. To everyone else..I'm kind of busy worrying about my own health (taking 2 chemotherapy drugs for a dangerous condition) to worry about stuff like this. Yeah it sucks. But it isn't gonna be something I'm gonna worry about when thetr are things like trying to get insurance for people whom, unlike me have no way to pay for health issues.
People need to get some perspective.

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. Okay here's some perspective

Do you honestly believe that a Congress that is so willing to trash our constitutional rights is going to worry about our health care?

[DearAbby]

39. Joe Dirt is that you?

It wasn't a meteor, that will make you rich...it was a chunk of shit fallin outta the sky.

[Bluebear]

43. Sorry, I wasn't aiming for your car, just wanted to startle you back into reality

:hi:
