How does ANY message board survive without you?

I'm a little embarrassed, though. I've long ago pulped all of my most hated comics, so I don't have any more! Can I just bring my copy of "You Can Tune A Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish" for Kevin to autograph?

I will now lead the IMWAN faithful in a rousing version of L'Internationale:

Arise ye workers [starvelings] from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.

hey where are those people going? ahem...

Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We'll change henceforth [forthwith] the old tradition [conditions]
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

Hey Linda is serving cakes in the other room, I'd love a..NO must finish this

So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The cakes unites the human race.

Shit, did I just say cakes in that last verse? actually what is the next verse?

So comrades, come mud-rally
And the last fight let us face
The comicbook unites the human race.

yep - think that was it.. wonder how my stock-options are doing...

The phrase "pie in the sky" (popularized in the song "High Hopes" as "high apple pie in the sky hopes") comes from a workers' hymn of the early 20th century. A parody of "The Great By and By," it notes, "We'll have pie in the sky when we die." Isn't that a cheery thought?

where we are being serious, most people don't know that the proper form of this:

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

is actually

First they came for the Communists,
but I was not a Communist,
so I said nothing.
Then they came for the Social Democrats,
but I was not a Social Democrat,
so I did nothing.
Then came the trade unionists,
but I was not a trade unionist.
And then they came for the Jews,
but I was not a Jew, so I did little.
Then when they came for me,
there was no one left to stand up for me.'

This is all well and good, but what I wanna know is: Will there be waffles?

yes there will be waffles - but first you have to listen to me outline my plans for worldsocialism.

The political officer asks that Linda does not throw chocolate sauce at him, while he makes this important speech.

Okay, but remember "YOU ASKED FOR IT"!

Six gallons of apple sauce comin' up!

Tell you what: As long as THIS guy isn't doing the cooking, you can serve us anything you want!
