Hellbender Returns…

Soon!
Had to take three cats and a bandaged dog to the vet today, plus a new opportunity has come up where I might actually write something and get paid for it. Still, I hope to get the series back on track tomorrow (it’s plotted in my head pretty far out, so it’s just a matter of getting it all down), and hopefully I’ll get some time soon to get myself a few chapters ahead again. Hope you continue to enjoy it despite the delays (really, how long did you think I could keep putting out one chapter a day?).

lolterizt! Part 40

A lot of entries this week, so once again I’m just gonna be one more card in the pack for this episode.
As always, pass ’em around, spread the love, and if you make your own, don’t be shy about dropping a link to your pics in the comments. The more, the merrier.
NOTE TO READERS: Hovering your mouse over the picture activates closed captioning for the l33t-speak/txtmsg impaired.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolterizt! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
SOURCE NOTE: Snapped Shot is still making peace with the AP law-talking-guys, so he’s off the radar as a direct source for images for a while (although maybe if you follow his links [hint hint]…) However, try Googling “AP photo” and your favorite MSM euphemism for “terrorist”. You’ll find plenty of material.
Send your submissions to lolterizt-at-gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.
This post dedicated to any media outlets that aren’t trumpeting the US body count this week.
If there ARE any.

In My World: Answering the Phone

President Bush was woken by the phone ringing. “What time is it?” He glanced at the clock: 3 A.M. “Oh… come on…” He picked up the phone. “Do you have any idea what time it is?”
“Sir, this is Secretary Gates. We have–”
“3 A.M., Robby. Can’t this wait until morning?”

“Do you have any idea what time it is?”

“Sir, we are on the verge of–”
“I’m a busy man, you know. I have stuff to do in the morning.”
“Sir, this is very important. India and Pakistan are on the verge of having a nuclear exchange.”
Bush was quiet for a moment. “Wow. Really? …You really thought that was something worth waking me up at some ungodly hour? How in the world does that affect us?”
“We are talking about–”
“And what do you expect me to do, anyway? I’m not Superman; I can’t just fly over there and grab the missiles out of the air. Did you get the presidential phone mixed up with your Superman signal watch, Dick Grayson?”
“I think you mean Jimmy Olsen, sir.”
“It’s too early in the morning for me to keep secondary comic book characters straight!”
“Honey?” Laura asked, half asleep. “Is it something important?”
“No,” Bush answered her and put the phone back to his ear. “Why are they even doing this now? Doesn’t India and Pakistan know what time it is? Don’t they have to sleep?”
“It’s a different time there, sir.”
“Huh?”
“It’s not the same time there as it is here?”
“What? Now time travel is involved? It’s way to early in the morning for me to be dealing with this crap.”
“Sir, a nuclear exchange is an unprecedented incident. This is a world changing event, and we will need you to lead.”
Bush sighed. “Fine.” He started to get out of bed.
“Ha! I punked you!” Gates said.
“Oh, man…”
“Yeah, there’s nothing happening. I just felt like pulling a prank on you.”
Bush laughed. “You got me. That’s like the third time this week, you rascal.” Bush hung up the phone and laid back in bed. “My staff is wacky.”

We’re All Having Windfall Profits

I heard an ad on the radio that pointed out how many people through mutual funds and 401ks have stock in oil companies and don’t even know it. I guess the oil companies are hoping that next time they post record profits while gasoline prices are going up, some people will exclaim, “Awesome! Part of that is me!”
Sounds like a good strategy.

A Perfectly Imperfect Response

I get annoyed at the all the Obamaniac’s and their sacred chanting. Don’t you?

Yes, We Can!
Yes, We Can!
Yes, We Can!
Yes, We Can!

So when you hear Obombified people doing this, interupt.
Shake your head sadly and confidently say

No, McCain’t!
No, McCain’t!
No, McCain’t!

I admit it doesn’ make any more sense than ‘Yes We Can” but its also pretty hard to argue with.
