This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with
Kris for knowing his camera commercial parodies.
What say you?
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.
* Today is Tax Day. I have no idea why it’s today — the 17th — and wasn’t yesterday, but there it is. Today I always dream of the panic and chaos that would ensue if there wasn’t automatic withholding and people had to write a check for their entire burden today. It would be lovely. We should make it happen.
The thing I hate most about taxes is that the more money they take, they more government we get. It’s the worst possible trade off imaginable.
* So the Buffett Rule failed in the Senate, getting just 51 votes instead of the needed 60. But now we won’t get our “rich people paid more in taxes” prize! What was that again? A pink slip?
* So what useless thing will Obama champion now? He’s going to take on oil market manipulation. Because the one thing that will definitely lower oil prices is more bureaucracy. And I’m sure everyone is really hopeful for this considering how well Obama’s fiddling around with things has improved everything in the past.
Someone who was once a “community organizer” should never be expected to actually help with anything useful; that’s just cruel.
* The Pulitzer Prizes were awarded, but there was none given for editorial writing. I think that’s because they knew it would be dishonest to give it to anyone other than me, so they opted to just not award any at all.
So what was your favorite editorial of mine from the past year? I don’t need awards when I have… you guys.
* So a member of the British Parliament, Lord Nazir Ahmed, visited Pakistan and offered a 10 million pound reward bounty on Obama and Bush. So we think we have some idiots in Congress, but so far they’re not quite that bad. And what good would 10 million do you if our whole country was then set on murdering you? I don’t even like Obama, but if some foreigner harmed a single hair on his head, I and pretty much everyone like me would be like, “Kill him and everyone near him!” And if you’ve ever seen British parliament, it’s raucous enough, but just wait until Navy SEALs run in there and shoot Ahmed in the head.
Anyway, the Labour[sic] Party has suspended Ahmed. Offering to pay terrorists to kill the leader of your greatest ally is a no-no.
* We have videos! Here’s Sunny celebrating Tax Day — with guns:
And here is bad lip reading for Joe Biden. He’s the only one who this makes sound smarter:
* Wisdom of the Day from Brandon Kiser:
Why raise taxes on millionaires when you can lower taxes for secretaries? #BuffettRule
I got thrown out of Fight Club for not remembering the second rule.
Who won the Pulitzer for best cup of coffee? Was it Starbucks again?
Does Arianna Huffington get the cash prize the for the HuffPo Pulitzer winner?
But if we don’t pass the Buffett Rule, we won’t get our “rich people had to pay more taxes” prize.
