Shimmering Wang 1 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I think the best part is the forced laugh when he says, "Because... Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas." What're you doing? What's the forced laugh supposed to imply? Awkwardness? If so, you nailed, buddy.Wang Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I usually think Bush is a moron, but I actually followed him on this one. Maybe my IQ has made a significant drop in the past few days. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe my IQ has made a significant drop in the past few days.I'll admit to not doing any research or not delving in to the context, so maybe I'm missing something.What was he going for there, or was he talking about a different person than Nelson... or...?

Spademan 94 Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 I don't think he really thinks nelson mandela is deadWell I should hope not.All the more reason he shouldn't proclaim that, well, "Mandela is dead." Link to post Share on other sites

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Shut the fuck up.I've been thinking a lot recently, because I was recently asked to name my five favorite phrases. After careful consideration, I'm not much closer to having a full list than I was a few days ago, but I do have it partly filled out:5) (TBD)4) (TBD)3) (TBD)2) Fuck off.1) Shut the fuck up.Both phrases are so versatile that I manage to use them 5+ times apiece daily. The worst is when I let fly with a good natured, "Ah **** oooooffffff," except it's terrible because I'm talking to the clerk at the supermarket or my econ professor.Wang Link to post Share on other sites

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I find that "get the fuck out of here" works in many situations.One of my favorites is, "Whatever cocktooth." Everyone who knows me has heard it like 1000 times. Nobody knows what cocktooth means, and I don't have the heart to tell them I don't either.Wang Link to post Share on other sites

"I would use your cunt as a coin purse.""You call that a dream-catcher?""I rock more vag than a yeast infection.""Fuck-wake.""Celebrity-boner.""Blackspasm.""I ain't even about to be coming down there unless the soap be smellin' like a watermelon Jolly Rancher."(The last one I overheard some guy saying to someone over the phone, without a hint of jest, at The Varsity, the other night. It's become my "If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't've spent that year in college.") Link to post Share on other sites

Lewis Black's had a pretty solid impact on my understanding of funny. Link to post Share on other sites
