We're having an ELECTION NIGHT PARTY on ELECTION NIGHT and I'd like to put all sorts of crazy ELECTION-RELATED crap on the walls. Can you help me gather up all of the best images, cartoons, graphs, lolcats, whatever that the internet has made to comment upon/satirize/talk about/distract from this endless ELECTION SEASON?

i wish the fucking bikini picture would drop off the face of the earth.

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 14 October 2008 21:44 (seventeen years ago)

Aw, c'mon. I appreciate it when someone takes the time to photoshop something halfway decently.

crusty but benign (kenan), Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:00 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, I thought that was real for at least 3 days.

Yeah, well, when it's your photo of your friend getting 'shopped, however well, you may be more ambivalent!

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:25 (seventeen years ago)

She should be honored!

Michael White, Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:31 (seventeen years ago)

(sigh) - Not really interested in fighting it out in this space, but suffice to say at this point neither of us feel honored so much as tired.

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:33 (seventeen years ago)

ha You took that photo? Yeah, I guess that would change your appreciation of it a bit.

Oh, internets.

crusty but benign (kenan), Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:38 (seventeen years ago)

I'm not trying to be a dick, Dr. C, just saying that being part of the zeitgeist could be at least a funny anecdote.

Michael White, Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:41 (seventeen years ago)

is the palin gun photo still causing you strife dr. c?

xpost No, no, I'm not trying to be a pill about it either, I recognize the cocktail-party conversation value of this - it's just weird is all. I don't mean to be the "it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye" guy - by all means carry on thread!

For anyone who hasn't caught it, though, full story here - featuring hopelessly lengthy rambling from yours truly!

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:44 (seventeen years ago)

OMG, it's a Crossman 760, isn't it?

Michael White, Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:46 (seventeen years ago)

man; presumably you could've made a pretty penny off this (tho I expect you don't want to, lest it get really out of hand)

STINKING CORPSE (cozwn), Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:48 (seventeen years ago)

Definitely do not want to. Mainly want other people to stop doing so...

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 14 October 2008 22:50 (seventeen years ago)

Ned Raggett, Friday, 7 November 2008 16:59 (seventeen years ago)

United States-born Daniel Bozhkov may be described as a relational artist, interacting with members of the public who are specialists in different fields. In Darth Vader Tries to Clean the Black Sea with Brita Filter (2000), Bozhkov posed as the Star Wars anti-hero in a noble but impractical ecological intervention. In Befriending the Bacteria (2001–2002), Bozhkov produced yogurt out of bacteria modified with his own DNA and packaged it in marketable containers. He enters worlds of genetic science, department mega-stores, world-famous tourist-sites, as an intruder/visitor who also functions as a producer of new strains of meaning.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=palin

1. An applicant lacking even basic job skills

2. Someone supremely un-self-aware or lacking any relative sense of what he/she does or doesn't know.

"HR sent me another Palin for the marketing manager job."

"My new boss is such a Palin - he took my deserved place because the CEO is his personal friend."

Q: Yo did you see what that girl was wearing last night at the club?
A: You mean that topless one with footie pajamas? That shit was too Palin for my tastes.

6. To lie pointlessly and repeatedly. Also: to knowingly claim you were on the side of the issue you weren't.

"I said, 'Thanks but no thanks,' to Congress for the Bridge to Nowhere," Gov. Palin palined.
