'Twas the night before elections

Regular reader Billy sent this in. Feel free to pass it on.....

'Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

' On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi'
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

And now for something completely different

Things have been pretty serious in the world lately, so for your holiday viewing entertainment, I present....Rapper on a Treadmill.....



Check out his kicks....they go flying! Heh heh!

Headache reads to ranguage frip frop

In Plymouth, a woman suffered a migraine headache only to end up losing her western drawl, instead speaking with a Chinese accent. Here's her account....

"I moved to Prymouth when I was 18 months old so I have always spoken rike a rocal. But forrowing one attack, an amburance crew arrived and they said I definitery sounded Chinese," she said.

Heh, heh!

Note: I'm 1/4 Chinese myself so don't accuse me of racial insensitivity or stereotyping.....I'm arrowed.

Hiding the Decline

You may have seen this already but it's worth a look....



You know the end of your movement is near when you start getting spoofed and nobody, nobody takes seriously anymore, your claims.

Thanks to Michelle Malkin.

Thanksgiving fact you'd rather not know

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and my favorite part of the feast is the pumpkin pie. My wife sent this to me in e-mail this morning....reckon she's trying to tell me something?

How pumpkin pie is really made ...

Friday funny

Apple has done it again.....

Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

Best line in a movie....evah!

Never was a movie line more appropriate than this one...



That's funnier now than it was when the joke was written 60 years ago.

What are you guilty of?

I found this picture of an idiot protestor and thought it'd be a fun exercise to see who is the most guilty among the TRR readers. Click on the picture to make it bigger, then read through the list and see how big of a sinner you are, according to this moron who even hates yuppies and used-car salesmen.....but then, who doesn't?

I'm guilty of 5, maybe 6 if I knew what the heck a Calvinist was.

Leave your sin-count, as always, in the comment thread.

Creative job training for the next generation

If you remember last week, I posted a video clip of my family cutting down a tree in our yard. You can see it here. Here's my 15yo splitting the logs that he cut up after the tree came down....



If college doesn't provide him with gainful employment, I can always send him to Oregon to be a lumberjack.

TRR poll question

So I cut a tree down in my back yard this weekend. It was too small to call a tree guy but, too big to take down on one piece. I had to cut the top half off first and pull it down with a rope to avoid other trees, the deck, and power lines. I had already made the front-side wedge cut. Below is the clip of me making the back-side cut. It's an anti-climactic clip since nobody was filming when the tree was actually pulled down. The question is, was this too dangerous for an amateur, or could I move to Oregon and find work as a lumberjack? View the clip, then see the picture of the felled tree-top, then vote in the poll.



Here's the "after" picture. That's my 15yo standing there surveying his handywork with the rope.

What do you think if Ed and his method of felling trees?
	Badass
	Dumbass

You think your family is awkward and weird?

Over at ConservativeGrapevine, John has a link to a funny site called AwkwardFamilyPhotos you might enjoy, as it encourages you to ridicule families that are way weirder than yours. Like this one, is this one of those new triad marriages? Does this kid have two daddies? You can imagine the fun in the comments thread.

So waste some of your employer's valuable work time today, and feel better about your self by putting down others.

GM's first, post-bailout, production vehicle

I have just received an advance video clip of GM's first production vehicle now that the federal government is in charge....



It'd be funnier if it weren't so close to the truth. I wonder if they'll call it the Obamamobile?

"Aaaannd....it's gone!

If you missed last night's new episode of SouthPark, it was absolutely brilliant. They skewer everybody from banks, to consumers, and expecially the Treasury Department. Here's the first 8 minutes or so....



The best scene happens toward the end of the episode when they show how the Treasury Department chooses how to handle each crisis. I almost choked on my ice-cream I laughed so hard.

You can click on over to SouthParkZone and watch the whole thing....brilliant!

Happy Square-Root Day!

Geeks rejoice! It's 3-3-09. That means it's National Square Root Day. There are only 9 of these each century, or about the same frequency of occurance as honest politicians coming out of Chicago. So take a few minutes to grab the desk calculator and calculate the square root of something.

TRR POP QUIZ:

Question 1: Name the date of the next square-root day?

(For bonus points) Question 2: If only 9 occur each century, how can the 22nd Century feature twelve(as my smart-aleck wife pointed out) square-root days?

Leave your guesses in the comments thread.

The white stuff...in Alabama!!!

This was the view from in front of my house this morning...


We haven't had accumulation like this in Birmingham since SnowStorm'92 or whatever the year. Of course there's been a run on milk and bread by dummies who don't realize it'll all melt by noon. Anyway, it's pretty while it lasts. When I was taking pictures at 7:00 this morning, I could already hear the sounds of snowball fights around the neighborhood.


I know what you're thinking. "How does somebody as cynical as Ed get excited about a little snow?"

You don't understand, we get 2"-5" of accumulation maybe once every 10-20 years. It'll be mostly gone in a few hours and another generation will grow up before we see it again.

Friday Funny--High-Five FAIL

Celebrity douche Ryan Seacrest tries to high-five a blind dude. I almost wet myself laughing....

New Feature on TRR

Readers,

In case you haven't noticed, I put a new feature on the site. At the bottom right, you'll find a window that says "People who read TRR". It would be interesting to me, and maybe other readers, to see who's visiting regularly. All you have to do is create an ID in Blogger. It's super easy and takes like 3 minutes. Just click on the orange "e" at the upper left of this page and it'll take you through it. You can use a picture of yourself or any image you like as your avatar. If you'd rather follow anonymously, click on the window and choose the anonymous radio button.

Thanks, the management

Monday edition of Friday funny

I would be remiss if I didn't include this holiday season classic from the talented Adam Sandler....enjoy.....

The Man Song

This song has been flying around the e-mail circuit for the last couple of days, so I thought it would make a suitable Monday edition of Friday Funny. Enjoy....
