Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

    Back in the day, Goofy, Micky or Minnie blotter or purple microdot was the good stuff. This clip would have been fun to watch then, but then so would the AfterDark screen savers…lol! The home PC age and acid just didn’t sync up at the same time in history.

    This is pretty inventive art, and I bet it took a lot of time to set up. Nice catch!

    May I be the first to say HOLY LIVING SHIT THAT’S INCREDIBLE.

    This is why education and leisure time are good for society; they make it possible for people to create art like that.

    Terry Gilliam comes to mind.
    Seems I see his influence in many current themes.

    For those who may have not seen this Daily Show clip, enjoy. Had me shooting milk through my nose. Maybe John can enlighten us on the venerable tradition of the West Virginia douche-off.;)

    Nice tributes to Q*bert, Shel Silverstein and (possibly) James Thurber.

    I wonder how long that took. Weeks? Months? YEARS?

    Unless, like, the whole thing was done on like, a computer and, like, just made to look real.

    Whoa.

    Want a bad trip? I like this one. For my money, the “best” part starts a little under a minute in…

    Somebody sure had a lot of time on their hands. Oh my, Orange Microdot, Purple Haze, Mr Natural and assorted others…

    I forgot about that ‘flavor’… ;)

    Windowpane was one of my favorites. You could drop a corner in your eye, it was that clean. Acid was like mushrooms for me, more like speed with a dose of nitrous. I never hallucinated from it, and I ate a lot of it. You would think of goofy things, like stepping off a curb and thinking ‘wow, my foot has to go a long way to hit the ground’, or running though a store and think of standing still while the food in the aisle rushed past you, but no ‘colors’, distortions or doing things that your don’t remeber the next day. Sometimes the perma-grin would leave your face muscles hurting the next day, but it was always worth it.

    Never had a bad trip, but I learned long ago that acid should not be taken by those who do not have a good sense of humor. Dark personalities seem to get a bad trip more often than not. But if you like to laugh your ass off at anything, then acid was the ride to take.

    Ah, the good old daze… :D
