Don't tell me, yet another rickroll.

Yup, I was right. This is getting too predictable.

That's a pretty funny video, actually.

Terrible!

You should be locked in a room and made to watch Sarah Palin's ENTIRE television body of work. I mean everything. High school basketball games on local access, sportscasts, beauty pageants, debates, speeches, everything.

Then we'll look for any signs of contrition on your part.

Okay, I was going to delete this post, but I can't bring myself to do it.

BUT, any other mod wants to do it, no problem here! In fact, if anyone at all feels strongly about it, I'll make you mod for a day (or a few hours, until I go to bed), and you can wipe it out, black hole it, smite it with the power of Shiva the Destroyer.

When I have you on your own in a darkened room at some point in the future, j_p, I will exact a horrible revenge on you for that.

Your thread title made me feel things I'm not proud of feeling and I don't know whether to thank you for the newly gained self-knowledge or to curse you for being a dirty dog bastard. So instead I think I'll just dance.

IHBT. IHL. I will now go and HAND.

I'm a mixed-bag of emotions right now. I still feel a little bad for John McCain, despite his maverick-style keepontruckiniveness. And J_P, well, he's just dead to me.

Ultimately though, I gotta say - good one.

See, this is why I am glad I go to Drudge Report before I come to Mecha. Don't you wish everybody did?

posted by bunnyfire 03 October | 14:15

Okay... now I'm laughing out loud. Drudge Report before... Mecha? For real? If I had the energy, I would do a mockup Drudge front page, but since I don't:

Wow. McCain's a surprisingly good dancer.

posted by stilicho 03 October | 14:32

Sigh. You *almost* made my day, j_p. Unfortunately, you did not deliver the goods.

That's a terrible, terrible thing to say. I mean, I was just thinking, when I saw the link, "Oh! Now no one will vote for McCain because they'll know there's a real possibility Palin could become president!" I wasn't thinking, like, "Oh! Maybe he's really sick! ::Dance::" Just that, you know, if he had a little incident caused by something ever so minor, people would ...

YOU HAVE TURNED ME INTO A BAD PERSON.

Wow. McCain's a surprisingly good dancer.

Not to mention that hair transplant and plastic surgery has him looking like a teenager. Too old now? Pshaw!

With the proper editing even Rick Astley can seem funky. Let that be the real lesson of this post.

I have turned someone into a bad person. I have inspired someone else to dance.

My work here is complete.

Goodnight!
