The Michael A. Naso Institute of Comedy

[minionofmidas]

It has to be Nym.  I mean, it wouldn't make sense for anyone but the glorious leader to be the only one in color with clothes.

Also, Nym is Finnish, and they're still proud of their military achievements as a Nazi puppet state.

He has just committed suicide.

srly stop it

Once again you completely missed the point, CARL, but nice try anyway.

You didn't answer the question!

Why did this last longer than most of the Comedy Goldmines?

Goldmines tend to play out quickly. This is a respectable Institute, and it's well-endowed.

Don't use the e-word.  I don't want this morphing into a replacement for the Hot Guys thread.

What's the "e-word" - E****t?

To be quite honest I have to admit that I do have at least a little bit of jealousy for my wealthy clients that ditched their wives for 'newer models' later in life. Not saying I'll do it when that comes(and no I'm not currently married), but the notion at least has some appeal to it.

That belongs in the Truth is Brutal Mine.

and cheap red wine in a regular glass with ice cubes in it. 

Ugh.

Wine - not really a fan. If it's good enough to drink, it's too expensive to be reasonable value.
Cheap Red Wine - Sick
Water in Wine - just goes to show it wasn't suitable for human consumption in the first place if you even think of that as an option (as they say on the Mosel about Pfalz wine, and in the Rheingau about Rhinehesse wine - "yeah well, if I'd have to drink that I might put water in it")
Ice Cubes in Wine - Go DIAF. Seriously. The world will be a happier place ever after.

No objection to the regular glass, obviously.

Every time Snowguy posts about food, I get confused, then disgusted.

Corrected further.

With a 99.5 percent voter turnout at 456 polling stations, United Russia received support of 607,909 voters in Chechnya.

This is just amazing!

In Canada these days if you can get 50% of the voters out it is a really big deal.

So to be able to get a 99.5% voter turnout is really pretty incredible.

I congratulate all of the voters of Chechnya for their support of the Russian election.

It would make for an interesting RIA Novosti article to learn why the Chechnyains are so passionate about their right to vote.

It is inspiring to see so many people in Chechnya supporting their democratic freedom to vote.

Even more interesting that 99.6% of the vote went to the United Russia party. Normally there is more of a variation in how people vote.

  I hope you trip and fall spectacularly and are mostly unhurt except for permanently disfiguring your nose so people silently think to themselves "that's why he sounds so nasally when he talks."

Given what my nose looks like right now... perhaps not so bad an idea.

An extremely dangerous individual who must be dealt with at some point.

I heard he is a coprophiliac who likes to get sex and then stiff the girl. 

That is a vile lie. I always take care to kill them first. I feel that is the gentleman way to go about it.

Funny cause it's true.

You guys do know that 'stiff the girl' means to not pay her, right?  It doesn't mean to make her into a 'stiff'.

I do, Gustaf doesn't. Anyways he kills them first and stiffs them after.

No word on the by-election in the Dear Leader's constituency number 333? I am looking forward to knowing which illustrious comrade the Korean People will elect to replace the very regretted Shining Star of Paektu Mountain.

Does North Korea use FPTP?

The funny part is that North Korea uses FPTP for their as-many-candidates-as-seats-elections. Yes, they actually went to the trouble of dividing the country into 680odd constituencies. Couldn't they just run a list?

So what?  Rich people don't need toilets, as nobody rich has an anus.

I grinned. Is that a bad thing?

A Republican attack ad that might not be God's honest truth? Excuse me while I clutch my pearls in shock.

You know, I thought of opening the thread just to type something along those lines, but decided it wasn't worth it as I would have to crossread it to see if the joke had been done already and I couldn't bear to read the presumably inane serious replies.

Wealth is something to be admired and pursued, not vilified and redistributed. This is America, not Europe.

Romney did not inherit his father's wealth. Did Gingrich inherit his mother's health?

I had intended to post this into the Deluge with a note that I wasn't quite sure if it didn't actually belong here instead, since it's so lost in its own world that it's actually funny; but the wonkwejts closed that down.

Yeah, I read it and wanted to quote Mick and add "worth it, I believe". Then I noticed it was locked.

Herman Cain is most likely still leading. There is no reason to disregard the latest poll from that state.

Guys, all I have to say is we better hope Naso posts his thoughts on the Treyvon Martin situation on the forum just as he did on Facebook. Instant. Classic. Thread.

Already has.

Since I'm not friends with Mike on the Facebooks, was it veiled racism as usual?

It wore a hoodie, not a veil.

I like how he admits that he doesn't actually want to work.  lol

That's the only reason the post belongs here and not in the deluge!

What did Santo say about me and one of my favorite authors (Johann Gottfried Seume, who in his youth was sold by the Hessen-Kasselers to England as a soldier... though he didn't see combat, landing in Halifax in 1782, and anyways wasn't actually a Hessian.)

That would be for The Oil Well of Hate.  Keep your fossil fuels straight.  Coal is Democratic, Oil is Republican.
