Debate Night Open Thread

If anyone wants to talk about the debates, or anything else vaguely political, have at it here!

Also, I’m not exactly sure why someone wanted to make wax Romney and Obama heads, but I figured I’d put these up in case any of you were ever wondering what that would look like.

The Kittehs' Unpaid Help

I find just photos of Romney are rage-inducing. And I don’t even live in the US, he can’t do his small-gummint schtick with my body.

What’s frosting my flakes even more than the debate are these dipshit dimbulb pundits. They can all go away.

“I find just photos of Romney are rage-inducing. And I don’t even live in the US, he can’t do his small-gummint schtick with my body.”

That doesn’t seem like a reasonable reaction along the spectrum of the normal bell curve.

You may wish to consult a mental health specialist to explore reasons for your rage.

Ooooh, boringtwit thinks I need therapy! Boringstick doesn’t grasp hyperbole, among other things!

If we’re talking therapy, how ’bout you go get some for why you have this bizarre need to post on a site you claims bores you so much, hmmm?

Someguy, do you show up any time someone uses the world “schtick,” anywhere on the internet? ‘Cause that must be exhausting.

Wow, it is kind of pathetic that some guy even posts in an open thread. “Gee, David, it’s just that I think you need to give the other side of this open thread some air time.”

Oops, “word” instead of “world.” Excuse me, please, Mr. Schtick.

Let’s all talk about the really important issues.

I didn’t get Bingo. 🙁 🙁 🙁

Ozy, that’s sad! 🙁

Ozy, I looked at those cards and thought there was no way in hell that anyone would ever get bingo. Did you even fill in four squares?

Seriously, though, Romney wants to cut Big Bird? What fucking votes was he planning on getting with “I want to get rid of Big Bird”?

Here’s some Kitten Bingo (or at least, a kitten called Bingo):

I’m sorry, Ozy! I printed off a card to play, too, but then I got distracted first by anti-Romney Son and then by a half bottle of Riesling.

Nepenthe: Actually I filled in a lot of squares! I had three that needed two more to be full. I guess the point is that they *aren’t* mentioning human rights issues at the debates, though… 😛

Well, this is my third comment so I have to leave now since David has a difficult time responding to me so partia-banned me, but

@The Kittehs’ Unpaid Help, hyperbole and me not understand things like harmless ranting?

Funny, because indeed that is identically David’s schtick. Taking hyperbole, rant, and nothing, distorting it wildly, and taking it beyond Uranus.

Of course incentivized by the crazies in here who applaud him and encourage him.

Anyway, have a good night.

Someguy is really super concerned about us. He is worried that our journalistic integrity I mean mental health isn’t where it should be.

Oooo, my owner did not approve of bingo kitten. I wish I could convey to her how much worse the debates would have been.

Someguy intrigues me.

He obviously had his name on alert, then when he shows up on this thread it turns out that The Kitteh’s Unpaid Help just used the world “schtick” within the context of her comment. Then, for some reason, he feels the need to post anyway, even though nothing here concerns him, and he has to reach for an insult to do so. Then he decides that he has to answer Kitteh, and to save his dignity has to find some way to tie “hyperbole” back to David’s appalling journalistic efforts. And in the process, he uses up his comment quota for the night.

It’s like something greater than himself compelled him to do it all. I almost feel bad for the guy.

Speaking of trolls, I think ol’ Otis might have been on to something the other day. This whole debate should have totally been replaced with a pull ups contest between Romney and Obama.

LOL Fitzy! That would have been worth seeing!
