In Natter (one of many conversations that might have been, but this was my favorite):
MiracleMan
I loved the speech (yes, we watched live at home...Em missed it being sick and napping) but, being me, I couldn't help cracking wise. In my head parts of it went like this:
President Obama: Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some...
George W. Bush: Dude. Sitting right here!
...
President Obama: On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.
George W. Bush: RIGHT HERE!
...
President Obama: ...Those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day
George W. Bush: Okay, now you're being kind of a dick.
And I kinda loved the whole "leaving of the ex-president" bit. Again, I show you how it went in my head, even though we couldn't hear what was actually being said:
George W. Bush: "...you don't think I'd ask for a twelve inch pianist, do you?" Hah! Get it?
President Obama: Yeah, no, that was great. Now, you're sure you didn't leave anything behind, right?
George W. Bush: I'm sure. Sheesh. You're kinda pushy.
And as the helicopter lifted off and flew away...
Michelle Obama: God. What a douchenozzle.
President Obama: Word.
(Terrorist fist bump)
If you're going to quote all of MM's brilliance, we'll be finishing off this thread today.
I'm certainly not planning to quote all of it, but he and Liese made me snort a second ago in Natter:
Liese S.
What's funny about the technology generation is that with all the incessant coverage of the campaign and festivities for the past years, I kinda expect an Obamacam, where I can put him in the corner of my browser window and, you know, watch democracy happen. Like puppycam, but with leadership.
Miracleman:
"What's he doing? Is he dead?"
"He's just sleeping."
"Awww...what a cute widdle weader of the fwee wowld. Yes, he is. Yes, he *is*."
"I think you mean 'Yes, we can.'"
And the MM hits just keep on coming:
Bush: They gave me candy!
Photographer: Was that all right?
Cheney: Oh, yeah. He'll run around like a maniac for a half hour or so, then crash for three or four hours. It's nice really, it means I'll get some work done.
MM trifecta. In Bitches, I think Cass is the one quoted here, but it was Fay's pirate mug that started it.
pirate mug...
"...okay, face left."
"Arr."
"arr."
"ar."
Sean K: The show I'm working on has the band onstage on a moving platform. I now hate moving onstage band platforms.
Catching up in Natter -- I'm surprised this bit from Miracleman about moving day at the White House hasn't been COMMed sooner:
Bush: You should've gotten more exercise, like me. I cleared brush!
Cheney: I was kinda busy UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY FOR PROFIT, you buffoon!
Bush: I am not a monkey!
Steph L.: Having just cleaned the kitchen, here is what I think about President Obama:
He is the human version of a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
(Yes, the Magic Eraser is magic. It just cleaned the foulest stovetop ever to be seen in a kitchen. And I include frat houses.)
Also, when I picked up my comics today, my comic-book guy told me he had a dream that Obama changed his (comic-book guy's) car's transmission fluid. We agreed that he may well fix the world in his first 100 days and then spend the rest of his term traveling around the country doing odd jobs for people.
"Is that a couch you're moving? Let me grab the end!"
"Cleaning your gutters? I have a ladder!"
"Need a fourth for euchre? I *never* trump my partner's ace!"
