GI FDS BVD's

British troops serving in Afghanistan to be outfitted with latest in undergarment technology-- underwear impregnated with an antimicrobial substance to kill germs and bacteria.

As Feisty Republican Whore dubs it, a major innovation against terrorist insurgents, as well as against that "not-so-fresh-feeling."

Sounds expensive...

I've found filtering cheap contaminated gas or JP4 through your old shorts kills the bacteria too.

Why is it that people always want to over-technicize such simple problems?

Definitely beats crotch-rot.

But is it friendly to nature? It'd be so much better for Mother Earth if soldiers instead used Cherokee Hair Tampons.

Sheila: Everything's going to be fine, Stan. We're bringing Kyle in tomorrow to see the Native Americans personally.

Stan: Isn't it possible that these Indians don't know what thry're talking about?

Sharon: You watch your mouth, Stanley! The Native Americans were raped of their land and resources by white people like us!

Stan: And that has something to do with their medicines because…?

Sharon: Enough, Stanley!

No particular reason for posting. I just like this episode.

Daughter: Mom, d'you ever have those heavy flow days?!

Mother: Oh, absolutely, sweetheart! Everybody does!

Daughter: M'mom, remember the move "The Shining" where the elevator doors are opening up and
all the...

Mother: Oh, honey, what you need is a more absorbant tampon!

Daughter: L'like what?!

Mother: Well, what's the most absorbant thing in the world?!

Daughter: (thinks) Well, Cherokee hair, I guess!

Absolute classic.

Chief Running Pinto: Ahahem, that kid looks really sick.

Miss Information: Yes. He really needs his toxins flushed again.

Chief Running Pinto: No. I mean, he look REALLY sick, man. You should take him to, like, a doctor.

Customers: [look ar each other] Hmm?

Sheila: But you're more in touch with the earth.

Chief Running Pinto: Look, bein' in touch with the earth has nothing to do with dyin', man.

Sharon: It's okay. We trust that you know whar you're doing. [Carlos and Chief Pinto look at each other. Kyle groans]

Carlos Ramirez: No, man, that kid needs a doctor! And besides, we're not actually Native Americans. I mean, I'm I'm more like a, a Mexican.

Customers: What?!

Man: Hu-uh?!

Carlos Ramirez: Yeah. A Mexican.

Man 7: Uugh. [spits out the ball juice] Ptu, ptu.

Man 8: I didn't know that.

Gerald: Oh my God! [the woman who had purchased the 48 tampons screams]

Sharon: How dare you deceive us like that!

Chief Running Pinto: Hey, we never said we were Native Americans, man. Miss Information said that.

Carlos Ramirez: Yeah. She said nobody would buy anything from Mexicans. [the customers blink in anger, then gather around Miss Information]

Miss Information: Uh, toxins ARE your enemy. [the customers enclose her]

Woman 1: Kill her! [the pummeling begins. Carlos and Chief Pinto just laugh at the sight]

Carlos Ramirez: Funny.

Chief Running Pinto???

Uh, in Brazil, "pinto" is slang for dick.

hehehe...guess they knew that. Funny.

You've never seen that episode? It is a classic.

Posted by: Slublog on August 19, 2005 09:19 PM

This stuff has been available in the camping/hunting world for a few years now.

here's an example http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=62894&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults

No cherokees were involved.

You forgot to mention cheech and chong were the "native americans"

"Uh, in Brazil, 'pinto' is slang for dick." I hope someone told that to the Fort Motor Co. Or is that another Yankee marketing triumph, like our trying to sell the Chevy Nova in Spain.

Posted by: Brown Line on August 19, 2005 10:45 PM

Yeah, Brown Line, years ago a friend of mine returned to Brazil from a trip to the U.S. His friends asked what he drove when he was here.

You can guess the rest....

Posted by: Lipstick on August 20, 2005 01:36 PM

And no, Slublog, I haven't seen that episode. Sounds hilarious. Must set Tivo.

Posted by: Lipstick on August 20, 2005 01:40 PM

Brown: except that that wasn't true. Native Spanish speakers don't break up "Nova" any more than native English speakers break up "Aspire".

I mean, who'd drive an angry snake anyway?

What if all the old stories are really true, and "urban myth" was dreamed up to hide the fact? It's possible that the collected wisdom of centuries is being destroyed by the myth of urban myths!

It has just this moment occurred to me that, in order to grok the acronym FDS, you must be older than forty and younger than Alzheimer's.

And here I thought I was hanging out with the young peoples.

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg

If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
