Barbara Streisand's Top Ten Explanations For Kerry's Loss

by the unofficial shadow staff of Ace of Spades HQ


"This reign of witches will pass"

10. Exit polls show that Elves went big for Nader (Alex)

9. Bush's Flying Monkeys surpisingly effective at getting out the vote (suggested by Frank Villon)

8. One word: Cheneymania (Senator PhilABuster)

7. Damn Republicans kept making their saving throws against Media Bias
(Blacknimbus, Jimmie, Bbeck were all on the same track)

6. In the house of R'yleh, Dead Cthulhu lies sleeping, except when he mans the phones for the Iowa Republican Party (Jimmie)

5. James Carville, busy with his Crossfire gig, couldn't get down to the bayou and work a little cornpone voodoo (BlueDevils)

4. JoBu did not answer our chickenbone prayer. Fuck JoBu. (RD Brewer)

3. Stupid American voters couldn't grasp the subtle political arguments contained in Papa, Can You Hear Me? (suggested by Alex)

2. Opening speakers of Republican convention -- Smurf-Archenemy Gargamel and Pinhead from Hellraiser -- really "connected" with public (Ace)

... and the Number One Barbra Streisand Explanation for Kerry's Loss...

1. Public simply had no confidence in Kerry's constantly-evolving, multiple-position nuance; in D&D terms, they decided to stick with the +3 Holy Avenger that is George Bush, rather than the Dick of Many Things that is John Kerry* (Ace)


* Why only +3 and not +5? Two reasons: One, we haven't taken out Fallujah yet. But more importantly: I don't run a Monty Haul campaign.

Thanks to everyone who contributed. I hope no one's too disappointed to not see their contribution on the list; there are only ten slots, and sometimes one joke is too similar in subject matter to another.

Geek Overload Update! Well, due to the premise I offered, and then the selections I made, I think I've just about constructed the most geeky damn post ever seen on this site, and that says an awful lot, given how all of this nonsense started.

My God. I'm looking at what I've become and my heart is sinking.

Did I never play outside as a child? Had I no friends at all?

Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pop into the garage and hang myself for a little while. See you tomorrow.

Maybe.

"I'm going to pop into the garage and hang myself for a little while."

Ace, wouldn't this method of masturbation simply close the door on your escape from uber-geekdom?

Go have a beer instead. Some nice elven mead will hit the spot.

Did I say elven mead? I meant Sam Adams. I hear it's pretty good.

Ace,

This isn't related to the post. At least not directly.

One thing that may cheer up you up is the prospect of some "Celebrity Deathmatch" action. Say, for example, Johnny Coldcuts vs. Ken O'Keefe.

Just trying to help you out.

As the man says: "Courage!"

Posted by: ccwbass on November 11, 2004 05:44 AM

Looking back at your early stuff *giggle* you were so meticulous and had pictures inserted and everything wooo. Silly Ass. :)

Great stuff

Posted by: Jennifer on November 11, 2004 08:02 AM

Yeah, I made the cut! Although I thought the Carville one was one of my weaker ones, but who cares, I'm in the club. Wait....do I really want to be in "the club?"

Posted by: BlueDevils on November 11, 2004 08:56 AM

"I don't run a Monty Haul campaign."

*snorfle*

That was the single geekiest thing I've read from all your D&D stuff. I became geekier just reading it. Although, the argument can be made that because I knew what it meant I may have already reached maximum geek potential.

Posted by: Brass on November 11, 2004 09:29 AM

Anyone want to start/host a Carnival of the Geeks?

Posted by: JohnL on November 11, 2004 09:55 AM

Brass, I got you beat. As I was reading the last one, I was thinking... "Hey, maybe Ace never really did play D&D. Apparently he doesn't know that a Holy Avenger is ALWAYS +5."* Then I read the asterisk.

* unless it's +7, which happened once in a Ravenloft adventure.

Heh. Beat that, bitch.

You would think that, with all her money, she could afford to have her hair done!

Papa, Can You Hear Me

*snort*

"I don't run a Monty Haul campaign"

*SNORT!*

Ow! OW!!! Coca Cola in the sinus cavities! Ow!!

Dammit, that was funny. And you all know we just barely excaped the Rod of Lordly Might reference...

Posted by: Jimmie on November 11, 2004 11:11 AM

Don't feel bad, Jimmie, I failed my save on that one too. Damn those Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter spells!

Posted by: Joe Katzman on November 11, 2004 11:41 AM

Is that Holy Avenger a vorporal weapon?

Posted by: Bill from INDC on November 11, 2004 11:57 AM

Go Senator! Glad to see that someone else noticed Major League on the tube last night. One of the great movie lines of all time, uttered by Pay-droh.

Posted by: Patton on November 11, 2004 12:17 PM

That's vorpal (as in 'Jabberwocky'), Bill. And I think it depends on which version of AD&D you're playing.

It's nice to see that the 'Monty Haul' reference turned up a goodly crop of geeks. As for my geekerific credentials:

You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.

I first read that on a VT100 greenscreen attached to a PDP-11 timeshare cluster in 1978. So nyaah.

No Ace, don't hang yourself!!

I wonder if maybe the Democrats election strategy was eaten by a grue?

Posted by: Jimmie on November 11, 2004 01:29 PM

Daaaamnnn! That photo of Barb looks EXACTLY like Denis Leary would in drag.

No, I'm not going to elaborate on that.

Posted by: Mr. Bowen on November 11, 2004 02:42 PM

David Gillies,

I remember that. That was a great game! I solved all the puzzles except how to get into the white house. (Of course John Kerry couldn't solve that puzzle either.)

Posted by: Frank M. on November 11, 2004 03:08 PM

Auto-asphyxiation. Kinky.

Posted by: someone on November 11, 2004 03:36 PM

Is that Jennifer Anniston?

Posted by: Aaron's Rantblog on November 11, 2004 03:53 PM

Wow, that was scary.

And yeah, i'm with aaron's rantblog. Anniston looks alot less hot to me lately. must be her stupid politics.

Posted by: austin mls on November 11, 2004 04:37 PM

Well done, Ace!

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
