Rate: 21 Flag

Okay, THIS is so much better than any campaign commentary that I have written:

I AM NOT WORTHY!

 

I just wanted to share.

It won't load for me Liz. :-( I had such high hopes too! ;-)
I know, I am trying to fix it....AHHHH!
I think that there is something wrong with the site...I am so sorry. Maybe it will load later in the day.
I'll keep checking! :-)
Liz, don't worry. You didn't crash LJ with your post. I read there last week that they were going through a server swap over the weekend. Reading my daughter's LJ is how I keep up with her.
LMFAO Liz!

RON PAUL: I rift in from Sigil! I'm a Chaotic Neutral Tiefling Barbarian/Monk/Rogue!

I think I just messed myself!
R-A-T-E-D F for Funny as hell.
Yeah, I pretty much broke something important laughing at it....
::gigglesnort::

The entire campaign should have been waged over TeamSpeak.

(thumbified for making me giggle like an r-tard)
I knew I had some like minded geeks on OS!

Jodi, This would be my favorite bit here:

PALIN: Hi folks! Sorry I'm late! I brought caribou burgers.

HILARY: Who the HELL is this?

MCCAIN: It's cool, she's with me.

HILARY: No! No, it's not cool! Every time you bring one of your rodeo-queen girlfriends in here she ends up playing some succubus infiltrator and killing the whole party!

MCCAIN: Now, that is patently untrue.

BIDEN: He has a point. Cindy turned out to be a vampire.

MCCAIN: DUDE. SHUT UP.
That was deeply, deeply nerdy.

No wonder I liked it.
Got it. My favorite line:

MCCAIN: Yeah? Bring it! I didn't spend 3 years in the Abyss with Githzerai hooking my nads up to a car battery to get beat by some Wellesley girl.

Why do I get the feeling he has something equally nasty to say about being beat by Obama?
Oh my gosh - this is great! The "left nut in the tiger cage" had me howling.
liz - freakin' hilarious. I particularly loved the riff you pointed to in your comments.
O. M. G. This is indeed the best ever. I am forwarding the link to all of my children (biological and surrogate) in case they haven't yet seen it. Thank you for helping me keep my youth cred intact ;)
"Left nut....tiger cage" Ahahahahahaha! Thanks!
Oh, snap. That was frickin' hilarious.

Thanks, Liz. You get high marks for finding and sharing.

And an extra roll.

Rated/appreciated.
TOTALLY totally hilarious. Thanks!
OK, I stopped playing with Google Earth on my iPhone long enough to check this out, Liz. Frickin' awesome. My favorite snippet:

KUCINICH: IM A BARD

OBAMA: That's nice.

KUCINICH: MY FAMILIAR IS A PURPLE SNOW LEOPARD

MCCAIN: Oh, Jesus. Here we go.

KUCINICH: DID I MENTION MY WIFE IS A TOTALLY BANGIN DRYAD WITH 20 CHARISMA
Huzzah for RPGEEZ!

"Ron Paul the Barbarian say: Suck it!Guns and abortions and weed for everyone! WHEEE!"

And also: So true @ the "cleric" stereotype. Down with the "girlfriend healer" mentality. L2DPS!
cchic, the funny part is that there is ALWAYS someone roleplaying the barbarian in exactly this way. And the fact that I know that scares the crap out of me. And yes, I was always the cleric girlfriend, too. When I wasn't playing the totally hot thief in leather.
I have absolutely no idea what game this was inspired by, but laughed my ass off anyway! They had me at "left nut in a Tiger Cage...". Too funny.
JP, it's Dungeons & Dragons. Although I can't remember which version Forgotten Realms is....thank god there is a limit to my ubergeek-ness.
THIS MAKES ME FEEL SO F***IN'OLD! I only vaguely understood it, but what I did understand I laughed at.
I especially liked the image of Cindy being a vampire. Whenever I see her on stage I keep thinking there is something dead about her eyes.
I didn't understand one word except for the articles and simple verbs. Is this an aphasia joke?
Wow that was a very twisted flashback to Ultima Online .........

funny!
My younger son (HS soph) read this with me and nearly wet himself. Andrew says, "Drizzt Do' Urden says he is proud to be associated with Obama and Obama has his vote."
I might as well have been trying to read the original Magna Carta. I'll take it home with me on Thanksgiving and have my son translate while I'm dribbling over my morning oatmeal....naaaahhh, I won't. I'd rather read your stuff, Liz. It's in earthspeak.
Well, I've done Zork, and then waited for MYST, but never did any RPGeez...still, this is spectacularly funny, including the comments there and here.

Well found Lizmeister.

xo
Sweet find! I laughed through the entire piece! GAZEBO!
I spent a year in the Abyss with Githzerai, and it's no picnic! That was funny. Thanks, Liz.
