I declare this post Obama-riffic!
Like you wouldn't love to be someone's pet.
I so agree with the OBAMAPHORIA, it can certainly be felt in my country and I've sensed the same with some family I have around the world.
It's about time the most powerful man in the world had a less let's-bomb-the-world attitude.
The Guardian UK has a fun article on items currently under patent consideration using some variation of our president-elect's name. My favorites are "Broccoli Obama," and Obamajamas. Much fun and happiness going around.
Kept an ape as a pet?
Let us remove his larynx and study it, so as to further the cause of science.
...As the Electric Light Barackrestra plays Obama-Ma-Ma-Belle
;>)
These are pretty good. my 6-year-old daughter was very happy that we Baracked the vote.
Ever notice that there are a lot of pictures of Obama with Superman comics? He's like a presidential Jerry Seinfeld.
Admit you supported Obama over McCain because of the mind boggling fun you can have with his name and the Name Game.
Now Joe Scarborough has to work in Barackafeller Center. Bet he loves that!
Dr. Monkerstein: Ha! You are just an Obamatron! ;o)
Übermilf: Hmm... Maybe I would like to be your pet. Do you have any cupcakes? ;o)
ComicsAllTooReal's Chris: It's about time we had a government that made some kind of sense!
Lockwood: Ha! That's a great article. I liked "Who's Yo'bama Now?", too!
darkblack: Indeed! A comparison of the vocal chords of an ape and a human might result in some interesting scientific findings...
Jon the Intergalactic Gladiator: Your daughter has fine taste. I am sure that she gets it from her father!
MWB: You must admit that McCain is just not a fun Name Game entry, but "Palin, Palin, Bo-Balin...: has possibilities!
DCup: Hee hee! Poor Joe, he is so upset right now.
Say it isn't so! He kept an ape as a pet? Are you sure it wasn't the other way around?
I'm partial to Obamanator.
BTW: if owning an ape as a pet is a problem for you then I don't think anybody could post here. I mean- who hasn't owned an ape?
Thank you for posting such a great article! It contains wonderful and helpful posts. Keep up the good work
