Whoa – this is spooky, the similarities between me and the Bronx synagogue bombers. I keep bottles of wine in my apartment and keep raw chicken in the freezer!

dijetlo May 22, 2009 at 8:56 am

I keep bottles of liquefied chicken in wine bottles and piss on the stove….or at least I did until we got electric burners.

I have a hard time taking advice from someone who put Windows Millennium on my computer.

OMG, I’m on the raw food diet and I have to pee all the time. No wonder I hear all that clicking on my telephone.

The economic surge I’m anticipating is the release of Windows 7, as the surge of people willing to kill kittens and do other dastardly deeds to get Vista off their computers should be enormous.

I keep live chickens in my house for Jews to pee on, in bottles, with California. Which shall have nothing and like it. If you can’t tax yourself properly why should the rest of us have to make up the difference? If Cali wants help they’ll bring us a cup of hot fat and the head of Grover Norquist on a plate.

I’m sorry Bill, but Windows 7 isn’t THAT good.

The House is going to miss Ed Liddy. It’s going to be hard for them to find a highly skilled financial leader that looks good in suit AND a gimp hood.

Yeah, Liddy, I’m sure there aren’t any more Goldman Sachs execs left whom Hopey can threaten with criminal prosecution unless they go back to work for a dollar. There should be an endless fucking supply of them.

[re=322885]dijetlo[/re]: I piss on chicken, because I’m a terrorist. I freeze the liquid and sell it as “Genuine Chicken Stock” in order to infect Americans with salmonella. The only problem so far has been a failure by any Americans to understand the concept of stock. I haven’t sold any. The customers, they all complain: “Why is your chicken liquid?”; “Why isn’t it fried?” Imperialist swine!

x111e7thst May 22, 2009 at 9:49 am

If you live in Newburgh stockpiling urine and rotting (raw) chicken just plain makes good sense.

Also.

B-Bye malls! And fuck you very much!

ManchuCandidate May 22, 2009 at 11:01 am

Bill Gates thinks that technology will heal the economize? Not a surprise considering the economize is a lot like a Microsoft product.

1) Wastes too much resources in overhead
2) Lax security and regulation
3) Constant need for patching aka government handouts/favors
4) Kacks at the slightest provocation
5) Thinks it’s more important than it really is
6) Crashes frequently
7) Reacts poorly to system changes

Custerwolf May 22, 2009 at 11:01 am

A neighbor said he didn’t think too much upon seeing urine bottles in the synagogue bomber’s fridge. However, he immediately became suspicious after the guy offered to bake him a kike.

Servo May 22, 2009 at 11:06 am

A few years back, in the height of the SUV craze, I had an idea of getting chrome “ANAL” badges made in various sizes to placard onto the most notorious of the “Mall Terrain Vehicles”. I quickly discovered that it worked rather well on a wider spectrum of the Big Three makes.
Imagine the owners proudly rolling down the roads in their:

ANAL Explorer
ANAL Expedition
ANAL Escape
ANAL Ranger
ANAL Navigator
ANAL Mountaineer
Freestyle ANAL
ANAL Mustang
Suburban ANAL
ANAL Avalanche
ANAL Safari
ANAL Lacrosse
Aero ANAL
Malibu ANAL
ANAL Ram
ANAL Avenger
ANAL Magnum
ANAL Voyager
ANAL Town & Country
ANAL Nitro

You’ll never look at cars the same way again. You’re welcome.

Did Gates expound on how he feels about his company being crippled by the world’s cheapest ad campaign?

blackarachnia May 22, 2009 at 11:41 am

so does this mean I will be able to ctrl+alt+delete my bills all back to zero?

BlueStateLibtard May 22, 2009 at 12:24 pm

Ha ha ha Bill Gates thinks technology will help our economy–yes, firing American technology workers and hiring Indians with H1 Visas to replace them will certainly help our economy. I haven’t even had a drink yet and I’m already feeling sick. The rabbit cartoons didn’t help either.

[re=322978]Custerwolf[/re]: The urine guy should get credit for being environmentally conscious. He was saving his urine for gardening, right?

RabidHamster May 22, 2009 at 1:05 pm

[re=323097]Custerwolf[/re]: You sound doubtful. What, you don’t know anyone who stores their urine for use as fertilizer? As I am not a fan of the scent of urine on a warm summer’s morn I do not practice this myself, but I know several people who do. Then again, I spent the first 5 years of my life in a purple school bus, moving from campus to campus in California, so perhaps the people I know are a bit, um, different.

[re=323115]RabidHamster[/re]: I once heard that peeing around the perimeter of your garden would help keep the deer away. Of course being a girl, and a not-too-bright one at times, I always pictured that such a garden would look like it’d been toilet-papered by the high school basketball team.

[re=323115]RabidHamster[/re]: why on earth would anyone store it? my plants respond best to fresh warm urine.

Works great if you happen to be a cougar or grizzly bear.

such a garden would look like it’d been toilet-papered by the high school basketball team.

Have you been hanging around in my yard? Five of six weeks ago, I happened to be building a garden fence at the peak of allergy season, and that is pretty much what my garden area looks like – little wads of TP everywhere. That stuff composts very quickly in our wet climate, however. It’s all almost as green as my grass, now.
