They’re Close Relatives of the Wolf, Not Accessories!

Posted by on

A lot of people hate little yip-yap dogs, but that’s wrong. It’s not their fault they’re tiny and stupid; that was selective breeding by people who hate all that dogs stand for.
You see, even if you breed tiny dogs, they still are so closely related to the wolf that the species distinction is more aesthetic that genetics. Inside each little yipping Chihuahua is a wolf desperately wanting to tear out the throats of whomever crosses it. It’s like Jack Bauer being trapped in the body of a two-year-old. Do you think Jack Bauer would like to be told how cute he is while being rolled around in a stroller?
No, he wouldn’t. He would plot to kill you even while impotent to do so. Such is the life of the small dog.
And that’s why this is animal abuse of the highest order:

Straw Poll!

Posted by on

Just to bide our time for two more years, here’s a straw poll you can participate in on Republican candidates for president in 2008.
SPOLIER: Everyone hates Hagel.
UPDATE: Oh. I can just add it to our site and see IMAO specific results. If anyone votes for Hagel, I’ll punch you.

UPDATE:
As expected, Hagel is by far the first choice of lefty trolls.

Friday Catblogging

Posted by on

Since it’s Friday, I thought I’d spread the joy of humor-free, apolitical Friday Catblogging to IMAO (aka “I-MEOW”).
This is how I compensate for not having teh funny. Well, that and beating up Spacemonkey, but everybody does that these days.
Anyway, it’s time for Nardo the Unwise:


If you’re not sure how this absurd scene pertains to IMAO, since IMAO is famous for that “political humor” thing, it doesn’t. If you must have some semblance of politics or humor in everything you read here, just assume that Nardo is… um…
Help me out here. Make your suggestions in the comments how this scene is, in fact, a political allegory.

You can find more examples of Friday catblogging by searching a blog search engine such as Technorati for “catblogging.”
You can also find a roundup of catblogging posts at The Friday Ark, located at The Modulator blog.
Then, when the weekend is nearly over, head over to The Carnival of the Cats for more kitty goodness.
There’s also Flickr Groups called Furry Friday and Friday Catblogging.
Anybody I miss?

I’m Going to Potatoland!

Posted by on

Tonight, the lovely and talented SarahK and I will be heading for Idaho to visit with my folks, my silly sister Sarah, Joe foo’ the Marine, and my Grandma. We will also go out into the desert and shoot stuff (our favorite guns are coming with us). For reading on the flight, I have my e-books (including Jim Baen’s Universe) and, for my new comic kick, the third volume of Y: The Last Man and Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (SarahK let me buy some graphic novels despite that they cost $10 and often are only a half-hour read).
Anyway, I’ll be there all next week. I will have internet access the whole time, but I probably won’t be blogging. So, don’t expect much and you won’t be disappointed. spacemonkey will be in charge while I’m away since he has administrative rights.
Be honorable, ronin. (well, I’m not leaving now, but, still, be honorable)
