The question is, what ent wrong?

Q: Will Bob B, Burt, and Tankdemon receive some kind of “Karmalak the Magnificent” Award for these predictions?

A: Well, that depends: would it cost more money than a nameplate? And, of course, it’d have to be adjusted for inflation…

Straight Line: If Joe Biden Runs for President, His Running Mate…

Bob B, Oct. 8, 2015:

…will have to be clean, articulate, and speak with “a slight Indian accent”…

.

Burt, Oct. 8, 2015:

…will be the cringing possessor of the shortest straw.

.

Straight Line: If Joe Biden Wins the Democrat Nomination His Running Mate Will Be…

Tankdemon, Sept. 19, 2019

…studying the actuarial tables.

…somebody with terrific smelling hair.

…chosen because xe is able to immediately take over the duties of Commander-in-Chief and not because xe checks off at least three boxes on the Democrat victim hierarchy.

4of7 [High Praise!] sent me a couple of his drawings. Good stuff – they’ll keep your brain busy for a while:

If you look closely at the bottom picture, you’ll notice he included “IMAO” in the design near the top (and also upside down near the bottom, since the image is symmetrical).

Taking this completely out of context, Crabby Old Bat [High Praise!] left a comment reading in part:

on Hogan’s Heroes, Col. Klink was usually shown unenthusiastically responding to “Heil Hitler!” with a monotone, muttered, limp-wristed, dismissive wave of a “Heil . . . Hitler” of his own.

Now here in America, we tend to use hand gestures that are more patriotic and less genocidal, like military hand salutes and placing your hand over your heart.

Which made me wonder… what would be the appropriate hand gesture to make while saying “Bacon to you!” (as you thoughtful and supportive Moon Nukers are wont to do to one another)?

Offhand I’m thinking hand held up in front of you, with thumb and forefinger pressed firmly together as if you were hold a strip of crisp bacon between the digits. Sorta like this:

However, I’m still open to suggestions. Fire away.

_______________

UPDATE: In the comments, Dohtimes [High Praise!] suggests using ~ as shorthand for “bacon”. ~ to him for the idea.

As discussed earlier, I think Moon Nukers need a special catch phrase to compliment each other.

After mulling over the responses, I’m going to suggest that that phrase be “Bacon”.

It’s short, it’s simple, it’s delicious, and it represents everything that is good and right in the world.

Example usages:

_______________

“That was hilarious, [Moon Nuker’s name]! Bacon to you!”

“Your comment was pure bacon!”

“Positively bacon-worthy!”

“The baconest thing I’ve ever read!”

_______________

As for capitalization and exclamation points, those can be added at your own discretion, as can modifiers specifying quantities of bacon, such as strips, sides, or a smokehouseful.

Bacon to Jimmy, zzyzx, Apostic, Crabby Old Bat, Steve, and 4of7 for being the first Nukers to get onboard the Bacon Train.

Now, if Laurence Simon or someone of equivalent Jewishness does something bacon-worthy, I suppose we could just give them the cash equivalent of bacon. Jews still like money, right? That’s what my “Stereotypes Handbook” says. Speaking of which, you should probably do the same thing for Scotsmen.

Also, if any comment trolls pop in to complain about one thing or another, tell them to just Rub Some Bacon On It.

In the comments to the Straight Line of the Day about Nancy Pelosi, Suicidal Idiot said:

BEST FILL IN THE QUOTES EVER! I nominate High Praise for everybody.

And I realized there’s a problem at IMAO.

Only Frank J. and his many assorted alternate personalities (or “co-bloggers” as we like to call ourselves) have the power to bestow High Praise! because, well, you guys just aren’t cool enough.

Still, it does seem unfair that Moon Nukers have no generally-agreed-upon phrase to pay tribute to their peers who perform well.

Because Suicidal Idiot was right, the Nancy Pelosi collection IS absolute weapons-grade funny.

So, I’m looking for some input from you guys.

What should Moon Nukers say to honor each other?

Possible suggestions:
______________

“Elevated Accolades!”

“High .45!”

“Peace Prize!” (since Obama got one for doing nothing, it is now officially less valuable than getting “High Praise!” from IMAO)
______________

Pick one of those or come up with your own in the comments, please.

That would be Iowa Jim [High Praise!], who may be a touch fuzzy on the concept of “biker”. And “gang”:

But at least he knows how to look good.

Re-size & share as you see fit.

So… who else are the Moon Nukers ready to rumble with?

Ok, Moon Nukers, you’ve got your colors and you’re feeling all juiced up, so obviously it’s time to ride into someone else’s territory and pick a fight.

You know, just because we can.

Trouble is, we need a rival gang to be our enemy.

So… who needs a whuppin’?

I mean, obviously the Dog Eaters

but who else?
