The Daily Mash

I'd rather fuck a dead pig than Governor Palin, that should not be construed in any way as a personal attack.

Here is a plug for one of my favorite comedy news sites, The Daily Mash

I have just read an archived post lampooning the US election.

DEMOCRATIC candidate Barak Obama last night claimed he was quoted out of context after describing Governor Sarah Palin as a 'creationist psycho bitch'.
He dismissed the 'phoney outrage' of the Republican camp, insisting the remark was not intended to do anything other than draw attention to Governor Palin's insane beliefs and ugly, bitch-like qualities.

The best comedy sails very close to the truth.

Fireproof Numbers

Comfort is touting his protégé's movie (Fireproof) as the number three movie in the US. Comfort's young apprentice stars in this mawkish drama(-edy?) about marriage, firefighters and kissing other women. No seriously - his character kisses another woman that clearly is not the character's wife - it promotes adultery I tells you!!

Anyway - Comfort says number three, Box Office Mojo says number four - taking just over six million dollars on a very quiet weekend. Yesterday figures were down 34% on Friday and Saturday. I will take BOM's numbers over Comforts any old day of the week.

If you are interested in seeing the movie - for shits and giggles, it is available through various BitTorrent trackers. "Arrrr me pirate mates, av ye some of this ere god movie. An' be sure to share the laughs." - as an eye-patched, sea-faring purveyor of movies might say.

The Raytractors Awards (sponsored by CERN)

I see from the blog archive that this is post number 488; only 12 more to go until we hit 500!

In honour of this most auspicious occasion, I am proposing that we use this thread to hammer out a few awards that can be presented for post 500.

I'm thinking:

• Best Raytactors Post
• Favorite Fundie
• Best Supporting Raniac
• Irony-Meter's Worst Enemy
• Best Comeback Line
  
• Most Likely to End Up in the Lowest Circle of Hell
• God/gods/mythical creature Most Likely to Exist
• Best Quote-Mine
• Golden Crocoduck for anti-science stupidity (this award is in existence on Youtube, I think)
• The Judas Iscariot Award for False Convert of the Year
• Best Poe
• ....you think of the rest!

If we can agree on maybe 10-12 awards and then nominate 4-6 potential winners, these can be voted on and announced for post 500.

Cheers,
