The Michael A. Naso Institute of Comedy

Some more examples:



That's one huge France!

Holy crap, that wasn't just a careless mistake.  It really took some effort to get it that wrong.

Charlemagne lives! 

Looking at it again, it looks like the background map is too small a scale.  That one might be a technical error, as opposed to stupidity.

That doesn't explain how Toulouse is east of Lyon.

Toulouse is off, but the rest would be right on a larger scale map.

No, Lyon and Cannes should both be East of Paris.

oh jayjay...

I voted Romney, though Dr Paul or the Spic would do fine as well.

Bachmann or Santorum are too like real life evil. People don't pay to be reminded of what it's actually like. They can have that at a PTA meeting.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Man, these people are too lazy to even sign up for unemployment benefits?! No wonder they're out of work! JOHN GALT '12

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yeah, I laughed at that one as well.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Okay, buddy! 3/4 of the political subjects discussed on these forums I could pound you into the ground on with little effort as many on here have already learned.

As can be shown by his impressive knowledge of Mrs Franz Kafka and of the well-known British politicians Willy Brandt and Tage Erlander.

Are we really analyzing the Star Wars prequels?

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.

Mr Naso is an extremely generous benefactor.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yes. Standards are way too high. It's like when you see a gorgeous girl and your friends say, "You must have low standards" and you think...if that's having low standards...what the hell is having high standards?

I find this post disturbing?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I don't get it.

It's a pun of the sort my dad makes.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I liked Hugh's post. I consider it to be meta-humour.

It's certainly cleverer than most of the posts in this hallowed Institute.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Forgot to add this at the time, I think. It may be one of the greatest posts in the history of the forum:

I AM an old geezer, actually. It seems only yesterday I watched that "Vremya" newscast where they reported on the First Congress of the Liberal Democratic Party of the Soviet Union and showed the world for the first time that Turkish-speaking ex-legal advisor for a Jewish cultural group that they've selected for the nazi-in-chief to fake multi-party politics. It was a hoot performance from the very first and he he has been a reliable stand-up act ever since.

"The BRTD ghetto" sounds cruel until you think about how much BRTD likes slums. And then, you get to thinking how cruel it would be to not create a BRTD ghetto.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The problematic part is that he had to be waterboarded before he'd renounce support of torture.

New Pennsylvania numbers:

Asked of any woman on the street: Do you enjoy anal intercourse?

Yes .......................................................... 2%
No ........................................................... 5%
Get the hell away from me, you creep .... 93%

Adding this to the map we can see that there is still a clear national trend toward "get the hell away from me, you creep." Bad news for President Obama.

Brilliance.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

You would rather be greased by a different character?

Quite, quite. Though not if I had to develop psoriatic arthropathy first. Not worth it.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

What this is, is the outfit of a man who believes both:

(a) it is important to maintain well-defined gender roles and to respect traditional sources of authority, and

(b) actually caring about whether your clothes look good or fit properly is gay.


This combination of beliefs, and thus the approach to dress, are not uniquely Mormon. See for example the following observation of Joe Republic:

I commented on this somewhere already this evening, but earlier today I noticed an unusually large number of guys wearing blazers, ties and khaki pants wandering amongst the ordinary tourists on the Strip.  Lo and behold, the Western Republican Conference is in town.

There are always conventions of all types going on here of course, and thus men wearing suits isn't an unusual sight in such a specifically casual environment.  However, this particular "fashion" combo seems to be exclusive to Republicans.  I don't get it.

A German President involved in some corruption stuffs??

The rapprochement between France and Germany becomes bigger and bigger.

You'd still have to work on it though. No way a French politician resigns.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

He was going to be performing "Gold Standard of my Heart" and "Sorry Hamid (I'm pulling out)!"  Those are his most famous hits!  I've always doubted some of his 90s stuff, though.  "Fleet of Foot" is such a Lew Rockwell ripoff.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Post already, darling.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Indeed. Behind closed doors he swears like a trooper.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Lighten up, guys.

That thread was a mess of degenerate sh**t.

lol.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Eh, it was actually the general tone of the argument that I found funny (and shareable or something). Not intended as a potshot.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Funny you should mention Roger Scruton, as he actually makes sense, compared to Clive James (unless of course that was the point of the option).

The Religion and Philosophy board always maintains the highest standards!

(I'm actually upset that at least one American knows who those people are).

Believe me, I'm upset that I know that too.
