lolbama! Part 57

NOTE: Brian of Snapped Shot is having a Angry Egyptian Camel Guy photoshop party at his place.

Here’s a handy cutout of Angry Egyptian Camel Guy to make it easy to stick him into pictures he doesn’t belong in.

If you’re really proud of your work, you can send it in to me, too, for next week’s lolterizt!.

Or just go with something from the Egyptian Riot Helmet collection (scroll down to the second set of pictures).


This week, That One. Next week, terrorists. Submit for either at lolterizt@gmail.com

Meanwhile, 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.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:

PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! 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.

MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.

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.

Send your submissions to lolterizt@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.

IMAO Is for Sale

The Huffington Post was sold for $315 million to AOL — that’s 315 million times more than Newsweek was sold for. That kind of seems like a lot, but apparently HuffPo is good at getting the clickies. As for AOL, I didn’t even know they were still around? What do they even do now? Do they still sell dial up service?

What kind of traffic does HuffPo get anyway? I’m seeing like something like 26,000,000 unique visitors a month. So what’s IMAO worth then? I’ve been kind of sucking it up at 100,000 unique visitors a month. So divide that by 26,000,000 and multiply by $315,000,000…

HOLY SCHNIKES! IMAO IS WORTH 1.2 MILLION DOLLARS!!!! THE INTERNET BUBBLE IS BACK!!!!

Um… So. Anyone shopping for a blog? If it’s a regular reader, I’ll make you a deal: Only $1.1 million. For that, you also get all rights to nuking the moon.

No More Moderates

The Democrat Leadership Council has ended. It was kind of pointless since all the moderates in the Democrat Party have been chased to the Republicans or thrown out of office. And if anyone in the Democrat Party tries to moderate a stance to at least make it mildly appealing to the public at large, the Kos Kids will literally surround him and bite him. And their saliva is filled with diseases.

Here’s a big difference between the Republicans and Democrats: On the Republican side, the extremists still have views that are generally acceptable to the public at large. They like low taxes and less government, and those are popular ideas. Our extremists have to be portrayed as racist or violent to be unpalatable. The extremes for the Democrats are a different story; all that has to be done to get people against them is to accurately state their views of socialism and liberal fascism. Basically, the far left have the same views as the people we used to shoot in wars. And that side won’t let go right now no matter how much they get thrashed in elections.

We can look at this as a long term strategy for the Republicans, though. The Democrats will get more liberal and more marginalized and concentrate almost exclusively on the coasts. Then, global warming will cause them all to get flooded. Cultural victory.

What Would Happen If Europe Arrested Bush?

Some groups are lobbying to arrest George W. Bush if he visits countries overseas like Switzerland. I’m guessing if that happened, it would not go over very well. We’re okay with Europe being all silly and useless and stuff, but if they start arresting former presidents, our tolerance would be pretty low. And like how much of Europe could we conquer before we face more than token resistance?

Actually, there’s a good solution to our economic problems there: Goad Europe into arresting Bush and then have a big war with them and steal all our resources.

…Wait a second; what resources does Europe have? Do they have any oil? I know they make the curling stones from granite in Scotland.

Random Thoughts

Not only is this year the Reagan centennial, but my favorite pistol – the 1911 – also turns 100.

Literacy is just a ploy by greedy publishers to increase sales.

I can never win the future unless I enter the cheat code for 30 lives first.

I want to be a novelist but they keep adding new Angry Birds levels.

“Audacity of Hope”, “Win the Future” – Are these supposed to mean anything or does Obama just randomly throw words together?
