Today’s blog entry inspired by the following video from Ricard Wiseman
Judging by the Youtube comments on this video, not everybody is “in” on the joke. This has me pondering the political implications of applying the “special forces” that Richard is displaying here to work in the field of presidential polling. Googling….
Turns out that application of Richard Wiseman’s magic new technology is already patented for politics by some dude named Nate Silver. Dam you Nate Silver, you and your fancy devil-inspired numerology. The American populace was TOTALLY IN THE DARK over Nate’s reliance on ARABIC numbers! Holy shit people. And you were worried about a mosque at Ground Zero? I’ve actually heard rumors that this Nate Silver is suspiciously effeminate and if that doesn’t scare you out of your complacent fog of universal non-comformity then there is no hope for any of you. Noting such complacence has me considering calling the Saint Bernards off their search for survivors in the recent avalanche on Bullshit Mountain. Free round of smelling salts to all my wing-nut friends!!
I just found the next-best-thing to the “sure thing” sucker bet to replace the one Richard is teaching me. ruining for me.
I am predicting the Petraeus affair will make it’s way beyond SNL and into cartoon or sitcom form before my birthday on the 24th of Nov.
Two and a Half Men is gasping for new material like Charlie Sheen snorting up coke at a hooker party, so that’s my sitcom pick. Bart Simpson’s blackboard seems a likely choice for first animated take-down. Leave your guesses in the comments if you want to play along. Let me know if there are any Petraeus joke sightings I have missed.
In return I toss you this brief tidbit. Funniest one yet, and comes directly off “non comedy” nightly news in Colorado. They “snatched” the wrong book cover photo off Google for their nightly news.
The REAL sucker bet is getting an internet newb to bet against there already being 10,000 tweets linking this Colorado graphic “mishap” with the recently passed marijuana legislation there. Talk about low hanging fruit!!
Enjoy.
