The Carnival of Satire (#30)
Welcome to the 30th Carnival of Satire, where this week the commentary has 30 percent more clichés and mixed metaphors! Enjoy.
Ahistoricality continues his quixotic search for satire and finds this lovely bit Just Say Don’t Walk! (which doesn’t need the satire warning at the start, in our opinion).
Whoah! We just discovered that Madeleine Begun Kane at Mad Kane’s Notables has a nice Pair of Limericks For A Six-Pack Of Generals.
Dean Swift at A Swiftian Rant cracks open the books and takes The Harvard 8 behind the shed.
Tommy has Mr. Cruise learning The Finger Trick.
Peace Moonbeam returns to the carnival with a demented Whale Rescue. Continue Reading →
Grandfig: The new team lead
“So Buttercup, what do you think of our new team lead?”
“What, that smudge-hole Hernandez?”
“Yeah, what do you think?”
“Glory-hound. There’s no way he’ll be able to pull his weight, but he’ll take all the credit.”
“Wow. You’re bitter, dude.”
“You’ll see. Oh, and Fluffy?”
“What Buttercup?”
“I’d watch your ass around him.”
“Moo.”

Thanks to the fine purveyors of bloggish treats for including The Skwib:
Local man wins big after rolling up rim
LONDON, Ontario (The Skwib) — It started like any normal day, but after winning in Tim Horton’s “roll up the rim” contest, Neddie Bubbin’s life will never be the same.
“I just can’t believe it,” Bubbin told The Skwib, after we were contact by his newly hired publicist. “I’m literally insane with joy!”
Bubbin, who used to work as an indentured cubicle troll, has quit his job and is planning a life of glamour. To show that there was no going back, he bought a top hat and a nicely tailored tuxedo. He also told his boss that he could “defenestrate himself with a turkey baster.”
“I somehow knew this was meant to be,” he said, “I mean, deep down, I just knew.”
He did not explain how he would support himself after he’d drunk his free coffee, but he was so excited, we just didn’t have the heart to ask.
(We couldn’t tell him what “defenestrate” actuall means, either.)
The Carnival of Satire (#29)
Welcome to this week’s Carnival of Satire, where the spectre of Republican-goat love rears it’s ugly horned head. We believe this edition has a very high LMU ranking. (You will have to read the first entry to understand what that means.) Enjoy.
Ahistoricality unearthed another frickin’ gem with The LMU: A New Formula for Measuring Effective Writing.
Grab your clippers and snippers: Dean Swift at A Swiftian Rant sculpts Cynthia Style
Madeleine Begun Kane at Mad Kane’s Notables has an appropriate Ode to the Leaker-In-Chief.
Finally! Someone who is willing to tackle the tough issues of the day. Hobart T. Johnson presents Licorice Haters Protest Black Jelly Beans posted at The Baloney Press Satirical Newspaper.
It’s best just to let Gerard Van der Leun’s letter To Borders from Bloggers speak for itself.
