Seen recently on a Hallmark card:

Dick Cheney: Good news, Mr. President, we've gotten a hundred Brazilian troops committed to the Afghan war effort.
George W. Bush: That's great! How much is a brazillion?

I think it was an old anti-Bush joke.

I guess you completely missed it.

Edit: And here it is:

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"


Edit to my edit: Would you also miss the joke if I refer to the 56 US states?

Ah, you were familiar with it.

So, why the Inigo Montoya post if you knew I was using the word "correctly"?

Seeing no obvious relevance of anti-Bush jokes to critiques of libertarianism, it wasn't apparent to me that you were using it ironically. My mistake. I guess your humor is too subtle for me.

Let's just leave the libertarians (yeah, I said it!) to agree and disagree amongst themselves. They are so misunderstood anyway. Now we know what happens to emo kids when they grow up.


You could've just said that your play time was over. Try to be nice!


I try to tell people that I pick on them when I like them. I totally ignore them when I don't care one way or another. I'm nice when I have to look that I like them. Truth be told, I've felt the wrath of enough ex-gfs on this regard (or worse, their friends) that I should probably change my tactics.

And come on, most of the post was a play on previous material. Who was it that established the rules of being a libertartian in this thread including the agree/disagree point? I just added the emo point because I could.

You are all swell. Honestly. When the time comes, I'll buy you a beer. If, you pay the tax portion!

I really don't have thin skin, but that doesn't mean some things don't get under it.
:lol:

Seriously, I take nothing on message boards personally. My biggest problem is that sometimes I forget that other folks do. You really didn't owe me any explanation. I guess I should have used an emoticon to make that clear. :shock:

Ah, those good old Bible Belt values: Keep the blacks, the women and the gays in their place. Make sure everyone knows his or her place, and don't even think about organizing to bargain collectively. Traditional values they are, Brian, and Chik-Fil-A does seem to live by them. And I'll tell you what: If the US must stick to values like those or fail, then hello, China.


Kudos to you Robin, This is why I repect you so much.
This proud gay man's place is no where near a Chick-Fil-A.

Yep. Their company is actively anti-gay, and so they don't get this proud straight lady's money either.

Also straight,female but also Christian....BUT don't agree with the anti gay or any anti minority things the Chick Fil A folks do.
