Let me get the party started. I nominate George Bush as greatest subversive comic genius since Andy Kaufmann.
Ah, Bush is just misunderstood, a cheeky monkey with a devilish, subversive sense of humor. A satirist working in a medium called life. Cheerleeding was just one of his Andy Kauffman-like statements.
Dad was a baseball star, letterman at Andover. Bush becomes a cheerleader.
Dad was an A student. Bush rode Cs until they strained at the weight.
Dad was a naval aviator, war hero. Bush got grounded for being “medically” unfit to guard Alabama, the medicine probably being Jim Beam and cocaine.
Dad went to Texas for business, Bush decided to keep his cowboy outfit from junior high grade school and make it his life’s work.
Dad made it in oil, Bush drilled holes in bank accounts that Middle Easterners had to fill. Takes a lot for a Bahrainian to buy oil in Texas at a loss.
Dad had the multi-generational family compound in NE, Bush bought a ranch months before a presidential campaign, went on a War On Mesquite.
Dad, as long-time republican honcho and former head of the CIA, was a prime behind the scenes string puller. Bush let himself become the empty suit for a fat, bald, morally vacant svengali of dubious sexual orientation who was such a fucked up kid that his lifelong dream was to become a behind the scenes, morally vacant string puller from 100 years ago called Mark Hannah, known only to history phds.
Dad launched a righteous war to right an aggressive wrong, reaped the windfall, and got out before the mess stuck, Bush….well, you know the score.
Dad was respected, but lost bid for term 2. Bush got the term 2, fuck the respect baby!.
I can’t wait to see this comic genius’s subversive take on Dad’s careful skirting of consequences for ignoring rule of law, pardoning his co-conspirators in Iran Contra. That’s gonna be a good one.
Have I mentioned Kar Rove is a fat, bald, morally vacant svengali of dubious sexual orientation who was such a fucked up kid that his lifelong dream was to become a behind the scenes, morally vacant string puller from 100 years ago known only to history phds and really, really weird fat kids?

On the heels of the preceeding post on “Chocolate Balls,” an homage to the great and glorious prophet, Muhammad.

Which are you?
By the way, don’t you mean a multi-generational family compound in ME, not NE?
Rome Again
Who tracks back to an open thread with almost nothing on it?

You’re getting a little long in the tooth aren’t you, Rome Again?

Chris –
Why do you hate Andy Kaufman?

Well, commie, at least *one* BJuicer appreciated it.

Not really, I can pull mine out.

Spoof is the highest form of humour.

Hmm. Dame Edna, Bob and Ray, Lewis Black, Victor Borge, Chris Rock, Jerry Van Dyke, Larry “Bud” Melman.
Super Dave, Professor Irwin Corey, King of the Hill.
In conclusion, Jerry Stiller.

Take out enough of the boss villains with it set that high, and you’ve earned yourself a trophy.

I LOVE Firesign Theatre

By the way TZ, you need to read that last link I posted, I think you’ll be amazed. :)

And, speaking of spoof…I give you Anna Russell.
ThymeZone
Alright, I shall do so. Thank you :)

Me too, Rome.
Who can forget Ralph Spoilsport and, “fully factory air-conditioned air, from our fully factory-equipped, air-conditioned factory.”
or,
…fully laminated genuine imitation handy-dandy wild west gun rack.”
or
“He walks by night. Doggedly, ruthlessly (I wonder where Ruth is?)…
That was a golden period in comedy, with Monty Python coming onto the scene about the same time. Good stuff.
I don’t have any of those LPs any more, I’m going on a hunt, thanks for reminding me of them!

mrmobi… there is no experience such as Firesign Theatre and purple microdot. (Yeah, I did that, about twice).
Rome Again
Yeah, I was recently thinking the same.
mrmobi
…could lead to serious (and possibly hilarious) injury. I know from personal experience that it is possible to injure yourself laughing. But what a way to go!
mrmobi
I never thought that one day I would hear the words “purple microdot” and think of something that happened over 30 years ago. I believe I have officially achieved farthood.

There was a story on the net that the Niners were trading for Andre Johnson. I was happy all afternoon until I went back and read the bottom of the article and found out it was an April Fools’ joke. Cruel. Cruel.

Chris,
That was fuckin’ brilliant.. Thanks.

On our wedding night my wife and I dropped two hits of windowpane each and watched a friend of ours drop seven.
I wish I had a video of him, I could be rich now.
The poor guy was practically asphyxiated with laughter for eleven hours. I felt like I’d been beaten the next day myself, he couldn’t even walk.
Those were the days my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day

The Cards are on pace for a 0-162 season record.
Yes, the hard-on I get from such a thought could last days.
