So ... I took my car in to have some work done, yesterday ...

When I walked in, fox"news" was on the TV and there were about 5 people in the lobby waiting, one appeared to be in her late 70s, 3 appeared in their mid-50s and the other appeared to be 30ish. The 50-somethings were engaged in an animated discussion of what was being "reported" on the TV; the other two seemed to be listening, but were clearly annoyed by the comments and/or reporting.

After three or four segments, I asked the counter-person if it was possible to change the channel, or failing that, just turn the TV off. She indicated that the new Service Manager had directed that the TV was to remain on at all times, and to be tuned into fox only. The group waiting got quiet as I returned to my seat; but not before one of the 50-somethings said, "I bet he's a 'Obummer nut' ... they all are."

Just then, there was a segment where the talking heads were mockingly talking about the ridiculousness of the msm's coverage of the Seamus Incident. And this seemed to set the 50-somethings off, e.g., "Who cares", "Why is that news" and (my favorite) "well at least he didn't eat the dog."

I listened as they began talking more and more loudly, and more insultingly.

So I piped in saying, "You know? I have to agree with you ... How Romney treated his dog was ridiculous and stupid; but it really isn't news-worthy."

I guess the group took that as me supporting Romney, but I think they were disabused of that notion, when I added: "But what is, or should be, worthy of consideration is how Romney is handling the matter. It gives a a look into how he would handle other unfortunate events. While he could have ended this whole narrative by merely saying, 'You know what? What I did to my dog was stupid and once I realized that my actions could have had tragic results, I thanked God my dog escaped unharmed. Everyone has done something stupid in their lives ... the smart ones learn from it and don't repeat it.'

But that's not how he is handling it. Rather he's defending his actions by minimizing it as a non-event. I, personal, look for a leader that is willing to admit that he did something stupid, when he does something that everyone knows is stupid. Do we really want a president that is unable or unwilling to admit when they are wrong? Isn't that what got us into two wars?"

I think I saw a tear in the 70 year old's eye and the 30-something nodded his approval; but the 50-something group only glared at me.

Is there ANYTHING better than a bouncy that hits all the spots?


That is a bouncy to make old Dreamer Tatum jealous. I wonder what happened to him, by the way.

You know what?  The dog Obama ate didn't escape unharmed.

I know how he feels.

That's almost as good as the fake Indian crying over litter.

[Kyle Ricky]

I think the guy is full of shit. He made that up.

6. "Bouncy" simpy relates to the emoticon.
It's an ancient relic...when a poster would put up a positive story, they'd tend to add the "bouncy" emoticon. So any positive post is seen in the "lurking" circles as being a "BOUNCY" post. Remember, the freepers and cave dwellers are simple people, and need pictures to help them understand what is going on.

Wow.

How'd you dig that one up?

It's great, showing the pompousness of the illiterate Pedro Picasso.

I liked it so much I saved a copy of it on my computer.

He's such an idiot.

That's one fo the best bouncies I've seen in a loooong time.

Where the hell has Dreamer gone?!  I haven't seen him/her post in a long time.

For current National Socialist Democrat party propaganda talking points,  I give it 2 bongs.

For the fooling stupid freepers into thinking he is one of them then yanking the rug out, I give it 1 bong.

For the tear in the eye, I give it 11/2 bongs.

"SO" always gets a minimum 1/2 bong.

Total recall of the entire conversation 1/2 bong.

51/2 bongs, the highest I have rated in years.

[GOBUCKS]

I would give DUmmy numberebonics a golden bong for that bouncy!

Most bouncy spinners are satisfied with scattered applause and smiling nods.

DUmmy numberebonics didn't just convert the repukes to socialism, he actually brought tears to their eyes!

I don't recall any DUmpmonkey ever achieving that in a bouncy tale.

I can see lightbulbs flashing above thick skulls all over the DUmp, though.

You can expect lots of sobbing former repukes in future bouncy tales.

Outstanding!  I loved the ending with the lone tear.  The nodding approval was also a nice touch.  So many bouncies have been so lazy of late, it's nice to see someone really step up to the plate.  Thanks a million for the smile this afternoon, BFDU and 1SBM. 

[Tucker]

I'm glad you brought it over.

I'm done.

No more of these recycled bouncies for me. They're DUmb. The DUmmy is a too stupid to know that people with half a brain know he's a DUmbass.

Hey 1-strong-odor-non-white DUmmy. Try something original.

[Delmar]

My only criticism of the bouncy would be that 1StrongBlackMan never tells us the racial makeup of the other people in the lobby.  Or do we just assume that they're white?

Bull shit!

Didn't we read one exactly like this about 2 years ago? Last time I think it was a tire store.

This guy is doin' nuttin' more than rebirthin' old bouncies! Epic fail IMHO.

We are past due for a doctors/dentisits office and grocery story episode.

MY money is at the gas pump where all around a DUmmie people are cheering the ONE for lowering the gas prices 6 cents and going after those fat cat big oil conhugeco's.

This thread is uptwinkleist.

[Duke Nukum]

I always love how they can read the minds of everyone in the room.

[Ballygrl]

I haven't heard Romneys dog being mentioned since about last week anywhere in the media including Fox News, seems like when the story came out about Obama eating dogs, the story just went away.

[USA4ME]

I admit the bouncys about TV's being on Fox at car dealerships/repair shops are my favorite.
