Dave Barry’s blog is plugging our live State of the Union coverage tonight, and he links to our blog. So we may get some new visitors. One of Barry’s bloggers has already warned: “Do they not know what sort hangs out here?” Should be fun.

Bring on the newbies! rotflmosao
Viva la Raza Blanco!!
You invited the Dave Barry blogsters?? Are you nuts??
*hoping no one gets it in the thigh tonight*
If Dave starts singing “the tupperware song”, I’m outtahere.
Hey, you can post on Dave’s site. I’m thinking we need to scare the hell out of those floridians (I just can’t make myself say it.)
Viva La DAVE!!!!!
Most of the posters on Dave’s site aren’t Floridians and trust me you can’t scare us.
You have no idea what you hell you invited upon yourself do you? Muhahaha
It’s 8 here in Ohio but the SOU blog is repelling my efforts to be first. Darn time zones.
I promise to be on my best behavior should any guests drop by.
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Yay Mad!
*HUGS* Welcome Sarah.
Uhh oh I’m not sure they like hugging of two women around these parts…
Newbies?? Hey, you’re talkin’ ’bout me!
What’s the topic over here?
*hugss sarah and mad*
Hi, what’s the attire for tonight’s festivities?
mad scientist,
You are correct, that knid of behavior could get you burned at the stake in Kansas. rotflmosao
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
sly I vote we move pantless Friday up to Tuesday this week
anyone in the eastern time zone know if the speech has started yet?
*and hugs Neo*
Sorry, didn’t see you at first.
Mad, we’re at T -38 and counting to launch.
that’s because I was wearing my invidibilty cloajk *hugs back*
dang this would workj better if I could see.
*doffs pants*
Oh it starts at 8 central. I thought it was 8 eastern. Right. Oh well I’m sure I’ll be stuck in highway ell by then trying to get home.
Mad, remember that I’m Kansan too. I burn steaks. But not stakes.
Why so many Floridians?
I’ve driven through Kansas before. I think. Actually, I was asleep at the time, but fortunately, I managed to miss the tree.
Good to hear Neo. I was only being a little tongue in cheek. Since I am going to miss the SOTU being stuck in traffic maybe I should just leave some comments here now and you guys can put them on the live blog later.
Actually, very few Floridians, if any.
We have CA, IL and MO reporting in so far.
I don’t know how long I’ll be here. Wurm has booze on his blog tonight.
Where is our health care. How much is a gallon of gasoline? How much is your heating bill? What size yacht do you have? Did you know EXON made 12 billion dollars in profit last month? How much did Enron donate to the election campaign? Do you remember who was president the last time out nation had peace? Are you better off now than before? How does the entire world percievie our country? Shouls we have democracy and jobs in our American inner cities before we die form them around the world?
Uncle Sam
*snork* at Sly
Here is my only political comment for the night:Dear Mr, Bush and Congress please return some money for research on infectious diseases such as TB, HIV/AIDS and Malaria. I promise I won’t even use stem cells.
If it ain’t gonna get our families any more oil – we ain’t returning nothing!
Besides “avian flu, SARS, and bird flu uv231 will take care of all other diseases!
We will own the whole darn world! All five of us!
Hey Neo- Why did the camel cross the road?
to get to the other booger!!!
Please feel free to use that one with your children.
So, would it be a good idea for me to drag out the ol’ TurboTax and work on my return while watching the SOTU?
Nah. I may have to demand a bigger refund.
And, Mad — YOU GO GIRL!
Hey Mad Cow!
Why did the f-15 fly around the world?
To smoke a camel!
actually uncle sam the avian flu and sars aren’t any more a risk this year than they were last year or 10 years ago or 10 years from now. It is just the amount of press they get. So much easier to sensationalize than to put a human face on the disease already killing 50 million people
Neo – please don’t share uncle sams version with your kids. Boogers are funnier just ask Dave.
Sly – sure go ahead and do your taxes. It will make the SOTU less painful.
and slowly typepad is taking away my ability to post. :-(
ROFL @Mad.
Not the booher joke,though it is just my kids’ stlye.
i’m laughng at the thought that any govt would return money!
*goes to look for wurm’s wrum*
*wonders if I have bird flu*
I learned something tonight. Diseases have press agents.
Your Mad!
50 million last year. !00 million this year! A billion in two years. Then a 100 billion sold here alone. You can run but you can’t hide. Better check your numbers while you still can! This is no epidemic …. it’s a pandemic. It’s unlike anything in your life time what left anyway? It’s of the way our coutry is going? with health care, with education, with jobs moving elsewhere. Better get it over FAST!
French Guiana checking in. I won’t be around for long, bedtime and all. I’ll just read the articles about the speech tomorrow morning in the French press. I can’t think of any way to make it into a drinking game, though.Booger.
Chirp!
Um, I think Mad knows what she’s talking about. Its what she does for a living.
sly – it is sad but true. Do you think we would have had a polio vaccine as quickly as we did if FDR hadn’t been president? (not that I am suggesting that was a bad thing) Sadly politics and special interest determine the overal amount of money for research funding and popular opinion/media decides where more of those dollars are spent. When Bill gates is able to fund more research world wide than the US gov’t I don’t find that so funny. But I find very little about the current state of the union funny so I think I will do the unfunny thing of sitting in traffic for awhile. Enjoy the speech and the chat and everyone try to play nice.
MiK: I’d be interested in a translation of that tomorrow.
Mad, catch you later.
bye, Mad! b e sfae!
Yeah. Mess with Mad and I’ll send you the snake that lives in my stairwell via FedEx. I don’t know if it’s poisonous, but I’ll take that chance.
Sanke in a Stairwell… gnfarb?
Nearly bedtime for me… I’m gone.
Sure thing, Sly. I’ll try to not fall asleep in the middle of the articles so I can make coherent statements about them later. Otherwise I’ll end up randomly inserting the words booger and weasel in them.
50 million have bird flu- hahahahaha. You must be one of the conspiracy folks. How many deaths from sars/avian flu world wide. It doesn’t even begin to approach the number of deaths from AIDS or Malaria or even diarheal diseases.
Ok seriously have fun guys I’ll have to come back and read the rest of the comments tomorrow.
*hugs to the DB blog ladies*
That reminds me… I wonder why nobody’s killed the snake yet. Maybe it just moved in.Also, I haven’t seen the iguana for weeks. I hope it’s fine and sunning itself somewhere.
oh one more thing.
Weasel Boogers!!!!
Wait, Mad! Let’s talk diarheal diseases!
“Let’s talk diarrheal diseases.”
Am I the only one picturing a painfully geeky med student using that as a pick-up line?
Did I miss anything? *SNORK* at insom.Rampart fortification has begun on the Spears-Federline embargo. Transpeak boogerification expected if the Fed raises rates.
Goodniht MiK. I’d say “don’t let the bedbugs bite” but… well, givem the laundry situation…
Maybre you should take the iguana to bed with you? But I guess you have a frog, and that will keep you sage from bugs.
The good people of Wichita should cover their eyes now. They have no idea what hit them tomorrow morning when the word “booger” appears in the paper.
Nah. This particular Frog prefers sugar.
OK, OK, I should go now.
(Heheh. I almost typed “ho” instead of “go”.)
*giggling* Night, MiK! *smooch* give the frog some sugar from me. Wait… that sounded sooo wrong.
What, is the booger thing a reference to WKRP?
*changes mind* No, I might as well stay. Mister Frog has to work a little more on a site for his boss, so I’ll stay awake as well.
Dammit, Neo. Now I have an earworm of “Sugar Sugar”.
Ooooooh, sugar sugar! You ARE my candy girl!
Here we go! Listening on radio, cant see any boogers
How ’bout this way, MiK?
Oooh, booger, booger! You make me randy, squir’l, and you got me wantin’ you!
Vive Le France, Vive Le Pen!!
Well, Dr. Fever DID say it before Dave started writing….. But Dave has written a book “Boogers are my Beat.”
*feels bouncy* I think it’s the two marshmallows and the Ferrero Rocher I had for dessert that are the culprits.
What? Don’t look at me like that. We had something healthy for dinner to counter the dessert: asparagus and gruyère tart. Which, oh miracle of miracles, I did NOT burn this time.
Though I forgot the cheese.
Let me get this straight…is Condi’s date for tonight Rummy?
Filler – some cabinet member is NOT there in case the Prez gets killed. Jack Bauer on the loose, no doubt
Oooooh Santiago, you are in so much trouble now. I’m telling your mommy on you.
Seriously, though: Le Pen is Major General Crapweasel, French Division.
Thanks for the booger version, Neo. Heeehee…
I thought Ian had written Viva le Peri. Or is it la Peri?
Le pen and his lovely daughter are heroic figures and I look forward to attending his inauguration next year!
Viva la Raza Blanco!!
Well, good. He started off by saluting Mrs. King.
Hey sly et al
Let’s make the distinction between democracy and elections, though.
The Palestinians just had democratic elections but shrub and his zionist masters did not seem to like the outcome, did they?
Viva la Raza blanco!!
Welcome, serious news folks, to the delightful world of the Dave Barry Blog! All are welcome, check your brain at the door.
Hmmm . . . this seems to be about as fascinating as the SOTU.
PirateBoy, you’re assuming the presence of a brain. Quite an assumption for many “serious news folks.” (Not those HERE of course!)
Holyshit! where did all these aliens come from? Don’t you people know that when you fall off the end of the earth, you land in Kansas? Ok, here’s the rules. No drinking, cussing, sex, drugs, or any other fun stuff. We don’t allow that here.
Well, LTTG. Butt seems we got along fairly well with these flat landers.
*goes to SOTU thread to see how we did over there*
Viva el otra presidento! (Dave)
