Hunter has settled in to his own blog now, Atomic Monkey Action Squad, and as his blogwarming gift to you, offers:

The Zombie Apocalypse is the Best Case Scenario

He makes a pretty convincing argument. I know I’D never want to live on a planet full of sparkly vampires.

lolterizt! Part 157

NOTE: This never happens, but I’m actually light on lolbama! submissions. Please pitch in if you have time.

This week terrorists, next week That One. 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:


I’m giving this to Ashley, because I’ve never heard that quote used anywhere before. Of course, maybe I just lead a sheltered life.


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.

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.

HAT TIP: Brian of Snapped Shot‘s magnificent EvilFeed – the world’s best source for ripe-for-captioning terrorist photos.

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.

Nuke the News: Treasonous Obama

* The CIA stopped another underwear bomb plot, this one originating in Yemen. Obama released a statement saying, “I made the gutsy call that the CIA should stop bomb plots, so I basically I stopped the bomb myself.”

Notice how terrorists are still pretty stuck on the whole “blow up an airplane” thing? There are so many things to blow up, yet that always seems to be most of their focus. They’re just not very original thinkers… luckily.

* Some woman said that Obama should be tried for treason, and Romney didn’t say anything. Because of that, Obama has been arrested for treason and now sits in a cell awaiting execution. Way to not show leadership, Romney!

Yeah, the Democrats are trying to make a big issue out of this. They didn’t care when all sorts of awful things were said about Bush and there were plenty of assassination fantasies out there, but now we’re supposed to believe they actually care about this sort of stuff. I’m tired of pointing out all these double standards though — you could do it all day. I just go with this general rule: Whenever the left act like they really care about something, it’s just partisan BS. Always. There is absolutely nothing out there where if you switched the parties they would still care about it. Rape (Bill Clinton), Murder (Ted Kennedy) — nothing. If a liberal is acting like he really cares about something, he is being disingenuous. Only trust liberal hipsters who never act like they care about anything.

* It’s pretty much a bipartisan agreement that Obama is a disingenuous creep on the gay marriage issue, right? I mean, no one actually believes his incoherent “I’m against gay marriage… sorta… but evolving” dribble, correct? I mean, if we find anyone that dumb to believe Obama on this, that person should be publicly shamed as an imbecile. Everyone should agree with that.

So what’s Obama going to do if he gets reelected? Of course, that’s the question on everything. And the answer: Not much. Especially if Republicans keep the House and gain the Senate as most are predicting.

* Wisdom of the Day from Brian Cates:

We’re constantly told about capitalism’s failures but never about socialism’s awesome successes.

* I’m pretty sure scientists hate dinosaurs now. They seem to be doing everything they can to ruin everything that made dinosaurs cool when I was a kid. First, they changed the term “dinosaur” to now include birds. If a sparrow is a dinosaur, that significantly cheapens the term. And then scientists started putting feathers on pretty much all the dinosaurs — even the T Rex. Finally, they’ve taken away the awesome “dinosaurs were killed by a meteor story” and replaced it with “dinosaurs farted themselves to death.” So what were once giant terrible lizards are now just farting Big Birds. Thanks, scientists. Do you want to take away anymore planets while you’re at it? Why don’t you just team up with Michael Bay and completely finish off my childhood.

If I Can’t Have a Flying Car, Can I Have One of These, Instead?

All the fun of Transformers without all the irritation of Michael Bay.

Random Thoughts: Poor and Underprivileged

Europe is not going to grow their way out of their situation unless they have Ant-Man type growing powers.

First they put feathers on them and now they’re saying they farted themselves to death – why are scientists trying to ruin dinosaurs?

If you see a blank page in a book and it doesn’t say, “This page intentionally left blank” on it, should you panic?

“I can’t buy my own birth control; I don’t even know how money works. Tee hee! I’m just a girl!” -modern feminist

I haven’t seen Avengers yet. Now I know what a poor, underprivileged kid in a third-world country feels like.

Oh, the poor, underprivileged kids in third-world countries saw Avengers a week ago.

“We should grow our way out of this problem.” -Henry Pym’s editorial on our financial crisis

BREAKING: Because Romney didn’t speak up, the president has been tried and executed for treason.

Show I’d watch: Find people who actually believe Obama’s BS on his gay marriage position and ridicule them live on TV.

I swear, McCain is fighting harder for Romney to be president than he ever did for himself.

If that Battleship movie looked any dumber, I might go see it.

There’s no such thing as a pegasus unicorn. I’m not letting Buttercup play with that.
