I had no idea penguins could fly!!
And that they actually migrate to the tropics of South America and live among the toucans!
Cool!!
"The US has an army of 90,000 soldiers in Afghanistan and is spending $100bn a year, but has still been unable to defeat 20,000-25,000 Taliban who receive no pay at all." - Patrick Cockburn
I comment then you can't edit this post. Gotcha.
Hasa Diga Eebowai
I just clicked on this link to see what it was without reading bluegal's post.
The first thing I thought was, no way, penguins can't fly. My mind revisited the gorgeous film, "March of the Penguins" and I thought WTF? The BBC are now lying their asses off for no apparant reason, by George!
By the time it got the tropics, I remembered it's 1 April.
Yukkety yuk.
i know that this was joked about a couple months ago, but i was talking to one of my customers, who is a pretty big model in the industry, and she hasnt worked in a few months.
told me that the industry has cut way back on production, and because of the economy, girls are popping out of the woodwork to do shoots, which has brought down salaries for actors
joke if you want, but the porn industry is a big contributor to the tax base of socal and california....
i have a few customers from the industry, and while they are cheap bastards, they do call me regularly for computer issues....
so damnit...BAIL OUT PORN
thank you
I finally figured out the missing link with all that banging the bitch on the headboard talk. You dirty old man, you. *Barf*
Good on ya, Uncle Joe! It's heartwarming to see you are concerned with the state of all those big models' and actors' salaries, not to mention fine woodwork, crappy green pine and punky hardwood. Not to mention your average deadwood. You are the best.
Happy April Fool's Day.
Err..or not.
i am a computer tech
have customers in the porn industry
from mainstream industry too
but im serious...
these people need your tax dollars
on one of my friends. I told him he had a booger in his nose. He wiped and I told him it was still there. He then blew and wiped again and I told him he still didn't get it. After a minute or two I finally told him April fool. We all got a pretty good laugh but he wanted to slap me along side my head.
I hope you did it in the morning because you know the rule: if you tried the joke in the afternoon, the joke is on you! ;)
I don't get your point.
I was always told that April Fool's jokes had to be done in the morning of April 1st. If you tried a joke in the afternoon, the joke is supposed to be on the jokester. Maybe I read that somewhere, I don't know. Can anyone out there confirm this??
Or, I am completely out of my mind?
have no rules.
So you were "always told" ... or maybe you read it in a book.
To quote Family Guy:
"Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't... nothing?"
Did a little research (ok, I went to Wiki) and found that the "April Fool in the afternoon" is a British and Canadian thing. Geez, why didn't C.C. back me up on this?
Anyway, sorry for the disconnect.
Oh yeah, they fly. The buzz by here every year on their migratory path down south.
yep.
What is your conceptual, continuity?

They're always sly, dry and sneaky.
Or the people from conservapedia might take it seriously and add it to their site. Still remembers the tree octopus.
They didn't catch all of them?
They're still on the Loose?
Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
What is your conceptual, continuity?
and they have gone completely berserk!
For the love of gawd, run for your lives, people!
they climb trees to escape the octopi...
April 1st, moving along like New Years through the time zones with videos of near empty Christian cities contrasted with bumper to bumper traffic and crowd shots of Cairo, etc.
Microsoft's New Brain Project
this upset a lot of people, like they thought it was real. It was the cover story. It's a weekly. so there was lots of 'splainin' the next week...
me-oww!
All I got today was a traffic report saying Highway 1 was closed due to aliens landing in the southbound lanes. Martians causing gridlock again.
hey, it's Monterey. We get all kinds here.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
April 1st would be the perfect day for aliens to launch their invasion of Earth.
After putting my gas powered barstool in the garage and downing a few legal adult beverages and inhaling some illegal intoxicant, I ruberbanded the kitchen sink hand sprayer so it would squirt the next unsuspecting April fool to use the sink.

That's lovely. Whoever created that, great job!

It's the official holiday for fools, we are blessed and truly so. Funny when the world seems to be at its craziest is when my whole family is sittin on top of the world.
Does anyone remember a TV show showing people havesting spaghetti noodles from trees? I think that was a BBC set-up, too.
A protester dies @ G20. Silly Barry thinks the Drug War can be won if we just fix our port security and surveillance. A NASCAR April 1 joke against GM and Chrysler didn't seem so funny to fans. Obama's willing to work with non-violent Taliban in Afghanistan.
The House now wants curbs on pay for companies getting bail-out money. McCain finally cares about black people. The House energy plan. Cambodia suddenly turns neo-conservative on Pol Pot. The Senate has a problem with HMOs charging extra for out-of-network doctors. AT&T is the RIAA's bitch. Obama saves some more trees. More Big Brother-type surveillance near the Canadian border. Are other CEOs next? French workers play hostage-taker with bosses trying to lay them off. The FDA recalls 14 unapproved pain-killers. The Repo Man goes after Madoff.
Slim telescopic metal ones with solid square end pieces, basically a modern form of the medieval mace.
Aka an iron pipe with a solid weighted end, these are prob not standard police issue, prob bought from some defense/surplus/gun catalog.
They can seen in in some photos of the confrontation lines, also the protesters with bleeding head woulds all had matching small high impact bleeding woulds to the left sides.
It would be like being hit on the head with a carpenters' claw hammer.
SFGate has a large collection of photos from 04/01/09, several of the photos there showed a select few of the police on the front lines wielding these maces.
Quality!
Gee, that fellow must be very brave to be standing underneath hundreds of flying penguins, staring upwards with his mouth open. Seagull poop is bad enough, I'd hate to see what a penguin can produce.
In November 2004, the Bush Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed not to prosecute AIG for allegedly helping companies fudge their books. In exchange, AIG agreed to host a government-appointed auditor in company meetings. At the time, Greenberg said it brought "finality to the claims raised by the SEC and the Department of Justice."
Towns said that Greenberg should be able to identify Bush administration officials involved in the decision-making around the settlement. Towns added the committee wants to know what Bush administration regulators knew about AIG's credit default swaps and other highly risky positions that brought the company down.

Republicans don't want ex-AIG chief testifying
By Mike Soraghan
Posted: 04/01/09 09:04 PM [ET]
Snip - "Republicans are asking Democrats to reconsider their plans to have former AIG chief Maurice "Hank" Greenberg testify at a hearing Thursday on the company's bailout.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the top Republican on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, sent a letter to committee Chairman Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) questioning Greenberg's credibility as a witness. The letter says Greenberg is involved in nine lawsuits and a securities fraud investigation."

Oversight Cmte. Questions AIG Founder Greenberg [Today]
Oversight Cmte. Hearing: 10am ET, Net. TBD
Snip - "The House Oversight Cmte. will hold a hearing to examine the collapse and Federal rescue of the American International Group (AIG). The sole witness is former AIG CEO Maurice Greenberg, who resigned in 2005."

Amended: "Greenberg was AIG's chief executive for 35 years."

Otherwise it might be a repeat of Mike Connell time.
Cramer is back! He's on "Morning Joke" saying that the "depression" is over. Can't believe that those clowns have him on...... but then........
"I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative.”
- John Stuart Mill
See, what they are doing is throwing us crumbs after the clearly criminal CNBC bullshit that "crazy eyes" Cramer is on tape talking about.
Our crumbs being that now we get Ed Shultz as a host on MSNBC.
LOSERS!
Where is the justice here? I would much rather see Kudlow, Cramer and crew get busted and start talking than get an Ed Shultz handout to sooth our nerves.
Gimme a break.
However, Cramer being a joke in the morning is spot-on.
Cramer:Ass Clown

Does this mean I have to quit drinking?
"Parachutes are allowed in checked or carry-on baggage, but may not be worn in flight."

no but if your smoking yeah quit obamas raised the taxes 65 cents a pack, its good to be us! your foods next!
I have a feeling it's gonna be a bumpy ride before this mess is sorted out.
Hey Ty, I hear ya. It's over a dollar tax hike up here.
P.S. They'll never raise the money for franken food because it's what keeps Americans fat, drivin' thru and on the way to double-shifts for the man. It's cheap, it's fast and it's really, really frankenstein on a stick or a bun.
Yummy!

America's "Money Honey" as Corporate Matchmaker
READ ON
Came into the office and find all the doors removed from the executive offices. Security had no clue who could have done it. Doors found on the 5th floor without a note showing which custom fitting door goes to which office. When the janitorial service was forced to put the doors back a call came in to tell them that the office number was marked in pencil on the sides of the doors.
At lunch time pizza came in for the guys that rehung the doors. Management said it will fire the person who did it, because it was a cruel joke.
The owner and his son had come in the night before and took off the doors. And he wasn't happy with the threats that came out by the management team or the way they used the janitors, temps, and interns.
...affects many on many different levels.
A fellow cabbie buddy and I came up with a good one last night. We were waiting for flags in the taxi line at one of our towns more popular strip joints.
Whenever a group of drunken patrons would come stumbling by, heading for their cars (instead of taking a taxi, like any responsible drunk should do), we would start talking, rather loudly as if in conversation with each other, about the DUI checkpoints located at either end of the road leading to and from the club.
A couple of times we were met with wide-eyed stares and gaped mouths but unfortunately no takers for rides.
Funny how a drunk, even alerted with such information, albeit bogus info, will still insist on driving themselves home.
Flew my least-favorite airline yesterday. When they offered me the "Sleep Package", consisting of a pillow and blanket for $7, I crumpled up my newspaper in big ball in front of the stewardess and said, "No, thanks, I brought my own."
Good old white trash jail technique.
Fuck US Airways.
"Parachutes are allowed in checked or carry-on baggage, but may not be worn in flight."
---Southwest Airlines
going to be getting bailed out too, according to the media. All airways are pretty much toast in this economic climate. As is Uncle Joe's porn industry.
Should be very interesting in the next 10 years to see just who and how is going to pay for all these bailouts. Alot of pain is on the horizon.
after 9/11.
Just in time to prepare us for the Homeland security rape at the airport and the see-through naked box we all have to walk through nowadays.
I've noticed lately that the Homeland Security flag is always a-waving next to the American flag like they are one and the same. Which I guess they are now. Next up a statue of liberty patriot pin handed out with a wink and a giggle.
Why does the name "Homeland" remind me so much of the name "Father Land"?
Yikes.
is being promoted to death on "Dog the Bounty Hunter" where a huge audience tunes in to watch some sorry sadsack arrest peon drug users and petty dealers to the soundtrack of big thumpin' rap music or death metal with the end result being some poor shlep is sent to the can for a long time after a last meal at Mickey D's while the war criminals of the Bush administration strut around like peacocks.
Perhaps, I'm missing something.
Watched an episode last week, where they all get together and pray with the poor schmoe, just before handing him over to the cops where he was facing another five years. Yeah, whatever, asswipes.

Washington DC Homeland Security Specialist Technical Schools are on the rise, BIGTIME.
Lost your job? Trying to feed your kids? This industry is booming.
Obama is infastructuring money for an all spanking new Homeland Gestapo office builiding. Complete with 1-800-SnitchOnThoseAmericanCommies hotlines.
Please.
edit: Concerned, I refuse to jump on your constant bandwagon that Obama is somehow on the same level of Darth.
This guy walked into a mess of such massive proportions that it's unclear WHAT we are dealing with here. Maybe they all positioned Barry to be the useful idiot. Wouldn't surprise me.
I'm no cheerleader for the congress on either side but I really, really want to believe that Obama is in way over his head with the neo-con spy machine implanted right next to him and everywhere he tries to make change.
It's like being handcuffed to someone that wants to destroy you but you have to smile and chat with the lunatic.
I'm hoping so much that he is a wonderful chess player and a poker player extraordinaire.
No matter what, we are all faced with the realities that exist and that is the frightening fact that our government is filled with corrupt and/or craven moles and ruled by corporate-facist arms lovers of war. That's a given.
How we get out of this mess is something I am wishing and a hoping for every single second.
It might be undoable. It might be too late.
I have plan B, C, and D to get the fuck out of Dodge when this becomes clear which is increasingly likely.
But the idea that Canadians are so squeaky clean and in some position to constantly be judge, jury and executor of all of America, no matter what, is a bunch of bullshit.
Sorry.
so far ahead of his time!ROSS PEROT ! if america falls for the trade deals like nafta and trade with china , that next sound you hear will be a giant sucking sound of jobs leaveing american shores for china , not to mention whole corporations selling out the people who made them possible! and id bet you ! laughed at the little bastard with the big ears, just where is our salvation , whos going to save america now? nobody! the politicians with the exception of dennis kucinich are all corporate owned whores, nobodys going to stop the sell out by the remaining corporations still here , its just a matter of time before they fold up shop and put the remaining equipment and jobs on to a slow boat to china, meanwhile you can suck on worthless promisses by the obama team , wich is mostly the old clinton team with henery kissinger thrown in for the nazi flavor, this depressions been planned by the powers who own this country , enjoy the ride to the cornfields where they finaly dump your carcass , mafia style, youve become obsolete , the rich dont need you anymore they got thiers under bush and the rests comeing soon!

This is really the only thing keeping penguins from running the world. Could you imagine if they could fly AND had opposable thumbs???
I mean, they already control an entire continent.
