Let's Be Honest: I Don't Need Much Provocation to Re-Post

Two questions I'll generally say "Yes" to:

1) "Would you like another merlot and/or Miller light?"

2) "Would you be so kind as to repost one of your brilliant comedy bits?"

Well, Pat from The Right Wing Conspiracy asked on Karol's site for a repost of my Schwarzenegger "Let's be honest" post.

Shhh, Pat. You had me at "hello."


Governor Schwarzenegger: Let's Be Honest, the Democrats Are Losers

Kinda funny, but also kinda cocky. Pride goes before a fall. Hasn't this guy ever seen Survivor? Or The Amazing Race? (How obvious was it that Rahhb and Ambaahhh would lose when they kept showing Rob's cockiness and hubris? That's reality-tv foreshadowing of "buh-bye.")

Anyway.

Leave the "loser"/"douchebag" stuff to people like me, Arnold. You're a governor. Governate with some decorum.


Short but chuckleworthy:

Schwarzenegger Calls Democrats 'Losers'
Once 'Girlie Men,' Dems May Also Be 'Losers' In Governor's Mind


LOS ANGELES -- Two days after the worst election defeat in decades for Democrats, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger referred to them as "losers" in response to a reporter's question about tax increases.

...

"Why would I listen to losers?" the governor asked. "Let's be honest."

The best part of that is the "Let's be honest." That's the genius. Anyone can insult someone, but to then add in a "Let's be honest," as if you expect your opponent to agree with the insult because it's so obvious... that's what pushes it over the top.

Nancy Pelosi? You're an idiot. I mean-- let's be honest. There's no point maintaining this charade of your non-idiocy. It's the elephant in the room we've finally got to talk about.

Michael Moore? You smell like a wet camel. Let's be honest. We've got to get you to one of those industrial-sized circus showers and hose you down like the big sweaty filthbeast you are.

Oh, and you're not funny. You're snide. Snide can be funny, but it isn't necessarily funny. You're the non-funny, non-talented sort of snide. I mean-- let's be honest. You didn't really think people were actually laughing at your little nickle-and-dime home movies, did you? They're forcing laughs, to show they agree with your warmed-over New Socialist cant. Let's be honest: You're the leftist equivalent of Up With People.

Ventriloquists look down on you. Let's be honest.


Student loan guy? Yeah, bad news. You're not getting a single damn-bastard dime of that money I owe you. Let's be honest. If I was going to pay you, don't you think I would have done so already?

Seriously: think about it. Haven't you noticed this long-running game of phone-tag is entirely a one-sided affair? If I wanted to talk to you, don't you think I'd make the effort to call you up once in a while, just to see how you're doing? Oh, I hear your messages, all right. You know what I do during your messages? I'm not writing down your phone number and extension, as you so frequently urge me. I'm giggling.

Let's be honest: I laugh at your silly talk of "last warnings." You've got as many "last warnings" as the French.

I'm sorry, Student Loan Guy, but this relationship isn't working, and it's time we faced up to that. Let's be honest. This is a we're-going-to-have-to-agree-to-disagree type thing. Two words you're going to have to come to terms with: write off.

By the way, you sound kinda gay on the phone. Let's be honest. You might want to work on that. When you call up I don't know whether I'm dodging creditors or being invited to a select screening of Manhunt.

And, frankly, I'm tired of getting my hopes up every time you call.

another question ace answers "yes" to:

would you like to give me a hummer in exchange for some crack?

Posted by: hobgoblin on May 11, 2005 01:19 PM

Yikes. I agreed with you on the whole "white wine is crap*" thing, but...Miller Lite?

Miller??? LITE???

Ralph.

At least you're a cheap drunk.

Later,

*When I brew my mead, I ferment it to dryness (until there's no residual sugar). Sweet wine is for pansies, man.

Posted by: bbeck on May 11, 2005 01:56 PM

Haven't read the post yet. Looking forward to it.

Just had to pop in here and say that I am very disappointed in your choice of alcoholic beverages. You might as well drink piss from the tap.

No Ace, that's not a proposition.

Posted by: compos mentis on May 11, 2005 02:02 PM

send in the beer snobs...

Posted by: brak on May 11, 2005 02:16 PM

Fuck the beer. How much crack for that hummer Hob?

Just kidding....

..... or am I?

Posted by: Chad on May 11, 2005 02:38 PM

Miller Lite? That frothy domestic brew that tastes like it's been conveniently pre-pissed? I've got to go with Frank Booth on this one: "Fuck that shit... PABST BLUE RIBBON!!"

If we're going to be drinking canned pisswater, anyway. A decent merlot's not half bad.

Posted by: utron on May 11, 2005 02:41 PM

All beer tastes like piss. I mean... let's be honest, it's only once you've gotten past the fact that you're drinking something that tastes like piss that you can even think about saying, "I can't believe you'd drink that particular urine-flavored beverage. Any REAL MAN knows only women and fags drink that kind of piss. Now, (insert drink-that-tastes-of-human-waste) is a REAL drink."

Posted by: Mob on May 11, 2005 02:43 PM

Chad, you'd have to ask the ace-meister.

I have a feeling it's measure in grams, not ounces.

Posted by: hobgoblin on May 11, 2005 02:43 PM

OK you beer retards, within the 'genre' of light beers, name one better then Miller Lite. Can't do it can you? Ha!

Posted by: BrewFan on May 11, 2005 03:26 PM

I have a whole new respect for Ace now that I know the top 2 questions he generally says Yes to doesn't involve nudity.

Really.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on May 11, 2005 03:26 PM

OK you beer retards, within the 'genre' of light beers, name one better then Miller Lite. Can't do it can you? Ha!

That's like saying "Of all the mimes in the world, name one better than Marcel Marceau."

Who gives a shit!? Light/Lite beer sucks the dried, salty sweat off a dead donkeys balls!

Dixie's Blackened Voodoo for me, thank you.


Posted by: compos mentis on May 11, 2005 03:37 PM

"Who gives a shit!? Light/Lite beer sucks the dried, salty sweat off a dead donkeys balls"

Excuse me mr. beer expert. The fact you don't like light beer means nobody should. Gotcha! And why are you bringing your father (may he RIP) into this?

Posted by: BrewFan on May 11, 2005 03:42 PM

Okay, okay. Concerning taste . . . no dispute. We agree to disagree. One man's Lite beer is another man's watered down piss.

And if I were an expert, I would get paid. Just like your mother did when she was doing that 'show' with my aforementioned father, who subsequently died of an exhaustion-induced heart attack.

Posted by: compos mentis on May 11, 2005 03:52 PM

CM, you know that makes us brothers, don't you? You have your dad's ears by the way.

Posted by: BrewFan on May 11, 2005 03:59 PM

Maybe we should come up with a Top Ten list of things Ace will say yes to.

Posted by: Iblis on May 11, 2005 05:17 PM

Ok, well with 10, one will probably involve nudity.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on May 11, 2005 05:24 PM

Iblis - Brilliant idea!

How about 10. Michelle Malkin with a strap-on.

Posted by: compos mentis on May 11, 2005 05:24 PM

Is Ace ignoring us or do you think he is doing something stupid...like...I don't know... working or something??????

Cuz it's just rude.

It's great that we can run the site and make funnies without ace (really, good job, all), but I'm guessing that his absence might hopefully (for him) be related to his relatively excellent performance with Karol yesterday.

Posted by: hobgoblin on May 11, 2005 07:04 PM

Dixie's Blackened Voodoo for me, thank you.

Whaaaaa....? You must live in Louisiana.

I've been searching EVERYWHERE to find Blackened Voodoo. It's GREAT stuff. The last time I lived in this part of LA it was easy to find...and now I can't find it. I've had to resort to ordering it online. :(

Do you know how to get hold of it?

Later,
bbeck

Posted by: bbeck on May 11, 2005 07:07 PM

Um, it wasn't Pat from VRWC (though I'm sure he appreciates the hits). This Pat did not link a blog.

Posted by: Karol on May 11, 2005 07:29 PM

Maybe Ace's absence is due to him finding a new boy toy.

Posted by: tinkerbelle on May 11, 2005 07:57 PM

For whomever called out PBR earlier, you've clearly never heard of "Naraganset" - heh.

Posted by: fat kid on May 11, 2005 08:01 PM

Don't tell me you'd rather have a Naraganset then a nice ice cold Milwaukee's Best! :)

Posted by: Sean M. on May 11, 2005 09:20 PM

As a former Olympian, I went to college there, I can tell you that "It's the water" is only part of the entire saying. To wit, "It's the water, don't blame us." True fucking in a rowboat beer.




I drank lots of it.

Posted by: vonKreedon on May 11, 2005 09:23 PM

bbeck,
You mentioned trouble finding Dixie Blackened Voodoo. If there's a Beverages and More store anywhere nearby, they carry it.

Posted by: Sean M. on May 11, 2005 09:26 PM

Well, truth be told, i'd rather have a fin du monde than any of the sissy beers being mentioned here - I was just going for shock value with my naraggansett call - that stuff makes me shit green for a week.

Posted by: fat kid on May 11, 2005 09:39 PM

Fat Kid, weren't you pummeled by an ice cream vendor? Ice cream is your cup of tea, isn't it?

Posted by: rdbrewer on May 11, 2005 10:04 PM

Yeah, here's the cite.

And all this talk about sissy beers.

Posted by: rdbrewer on May 11, 2005 10:07 PM

Actually it sounds like Cartman was beaten-up by an ice cream vendor.

Posted by: rdbrewer on May 11, 2005 10:09 PM

"I am NOT drinking any FUCKING Merlot!"

Posted by: kelly on May 11, 2005 10:09 PM

You mentioned trouble finding Dixie Blackened Voodoo. If there's a Beverages and More store anywhere nearby, they carry it.

Thanks for the suggestion, Sean, but there's not one near here. :(

But, like Karol said, I do appreciate the hits :o)

Your Ahnold post is definitely worthy of a repost though, no question there.

Oh for Christ's sake its called GUINESS you pussies.
If you must drink beer Carlsberg is what you want. None of this Sullivanesque "light" shit.

real men drink cheap beer, or whatever beer they happen to have.....if you want something pretentious, drink wine

Good Morning to ME!

Too bad he's gay.

Posted by: lauraw on May 12, 2005 09:35 AM

Oh for Christ's sake its called GUINESS you pussies.

Heh, we were camping on the beach, drinking Guinness, when a strange lady came up and told us her car had gotten stuck in the sand. The hubby pulled her out with his Rubicon, and to thank us, she came back with a CASE of Guinness. Now that was one chick who knew the right way to thank someone. :)

Guinness, the beer that drinks like a meal...

PS: Laura, I don't have any beefcake, all I have is a pic of Trent Lott. No fair.

Posted by: bbeck on May 12, 2005 09:42 AM

Stow your designer beers--that stuff's for amatuers. There's a reason some of us can pound a sixer every night and still keep our girlish figures and the reason is utility beer. Light utility beer.

Go ahead and enjoy your Hoodoo varnish and your Irish syrup--it's all good. But when you get serious about beer consumption, you look me up. A couple of "fridge packs" ought to be enough.

Posted by: spongeworthy on May 12, 2005 09:56 AM

One time hubby and I were pulling up the carpet tack strips and prying up the staples up out of our livingroom floor. It was stifling hot summer night and we didn't have AC at the time.
After a couple hours of work, hubby cracked open a guinness and I thought that looked good so I had one too...well, actually I only had half of one.

I had to stop when I saw black spots in front of my eyes and had to rest my head on the floor.

Say what you will about piss beer, but an ice cold pilsner is better for working hard on a hot day. Save that heavy black stuff for winter fattening time.

Posted by: lauraw on May 12, 2005 10:01 AM

bbeck - I'm in Indiana. I haven't had the Blackened Voodoo for awhile. The store where I used to get it stopped carrying it.

What's it run you to buy it online?

Posted by: compos mentis on May 12, 2005 10:04 AM

Hey! He's gone!
Where did he go?

Posted by: lauraw on May 12, 2005 10:05 AM

spongeworthy has a good point. I wouldn't want to drink 6 Voodoo's or Guiness Drafts every night. It would only take about a week and a half to kill the remaining brain cells I have.

Posted by: compos mentis on May 12, 2005 10:11 AM

O/T, but what's with the ads? Did Ace decide to quit and hand the place over to Downtown Lad?

Posted by: utron on May 12, 2005 10:21 AM

Compos, it's a lot more than I'm used to paying for it. The thing that really costs is the shipping. I get it here...

http://store.yahoo.com/randalls/rws4698.html

...but Sean suggested another place that ships...

http://www.bevmo.com/productlist.asp?area=home&bhcp=1

...and the price is a little cheaper but I don't know how much they charge for shipping. That place is in California and I find it ironic that folks there can get B-Voodoo easier than I can and I live about 6 hours from the microbrewery.

I could probably order it from the local grocery store -- I actually did that in Virginia once when I wanted some -- to save a few bucks, and I may end up doing that for future purchases. You may want to try that, too, because some grocery places may have a supplier for it but they don't stock it.

And no, Guinness is not your basic thirst quencher, it's more for the times you want to taste what you're drinking. For day 2 day we keep Beck's and Sam Adams on hand (I only drink beer at parties anyway).

But you know, my brother drinks Bud Light and when I asked him why, WHY? he told me that he likes other beers' taste better but Bud Light doesn't affect him as adversely as other beers do, so it's a better beer for him to drink on a "regular" basis, perhaps because his system is just more used to it.
