That's weird, but I hate squirrels.

Except Drew's, which is a prince among squirrels.

 
GaryPDX [TotalFark] 2008-01-17 06:06:21 PM  
Hey now, those big "Red" squirrels from down south are some good eats. The Grey ones are smaller but their good too.

What's a bigger train wreck, Britney's life or Huck's campaign? Expect this guy to get stranger and stranger the more states he loses. He'll make Deano look calm and collected.

I had him picked to win a lot of southern on the basis that most of them would have no understanding of his tax plan and he'd go all Giuliani on the word "Jesus". I wasn't counting on his inability to keep his crazy under wraps.

Okay, I grew up in squirrel-eating territory, so at first I was a long way from being traumatized.

Then I RTFA.

In his dorm room?

For some reason my brain completely hangs up on the idea of deep frying small game in a popcorn popper in a dorm room.

 
Lionel Mandrake [TotalFark] 2008-01-17 06:57:18 PM  
Next he'll want to change the Constitution to require deep-frying squirrels. For God.

 
brap [TotalFark] 2008-01-17 07:06:19 PM  
Well, he's wrapped up the Pickin' vote but Grinnin' is still undecided.

Well, it's no Cornballer.

Right. He's against that.

The Governor of Arkansas officially admits his taste for the State Cuisine (roadkill).
"God put `em here for our use. Pass the ketchup."

 
AkaDad 2008-01-17 07:58:31 PM  
My favorite roadkill dish is poodles and noodles.

And the "Hey look at me, I'm more folksy than my opponents" contest has been taken up a notch.

Prediction:

McCain wins SC
Folksy candidates Huckabee, Thompson bow out
Guliani and Romney continue in a fight of futility until they get pwned at the Convention.
McCain loses to a late blooming Edwards because Hillary can't get past her own brand of crazy and suburban America can't stomach a black president

Something tells me he's joking. He doesn't exactly get along with Mika Brzezinski, from what I've seen in the past. This is very strange, though, even coming from him.

How can you distinguish crazy from crazy. It's all crazy to me and I suspect to the voters too.

A Hukabee vs. Edwards race would be cool.

WWJF?

"What Would Jesus Fry?"

 
Thorsen 2008-01-17 09:37:26 PM  
Hey I dislike Huckabee as much any other theocrat-hater, but them sqirrels are some mighty fine eatin'. I like mine covered in brown gravy and served over rice ...... yum, yum.

Is my redneck showing?

 
FunkOut [TotalFark] 2008-01-17 09:42:24 PM  
Okie dokie, way to help break stereotypes of all southerners being roadkill munching, inbred dumbasses.

Hick-abee.

 
SangamonTaylor 2008-01-17 11:05:10 PM  
I love this guy.

How do you do this? When I think of a popcorn popper like you would have in college would be one of those hot air ones. Those can fry? Or would it be a hotplate with the built in stirrer. But there is no seal around the stirrer, so how do you keep the oil in?

Seriously curious. Likes me some squirl stew, never tried fried though.

/Huckabee scares me.
//No really he does.

my first thought also

 
StokeyBob 2008-01-18 12:30:36 AM  
I didn't think much on a squirrel would pop.

Yes, but unfortunately no banjos are involved in this particular pickin' voting bloc.

eeewww....

Macular Degenerate: suburban America can't stomach a black president

Barack is cleaning up in the suburban/college town votes. It's the rural, farming, factory towns that Hillary is killing him in, so far.

The smarter and younger you are, the more likely you will vote Obama.

The dumber and older you are, the more likely you will vote Hillary.

(Aside from the whole racist/sexist debate that is)

Nice PF reference in yer nom de blog, btw.

On Huckabee's unfortunate son:

Linkhttp://www.snopes.com/politics/huckabee/dog.asp

Translation: I lean towards gay, possibly because I happen to be one, but seriously. Repressed absolute farking rage, anyone? Gee, in a household run by THAT THING, I can't imagine why....

/poor dog
//and poor kid(s)....
//at eight, it's creepy and sad, hurting animals
///at two weeks shy of eighteen, it's scary...and still very sad...
//and a GIANT SIGN of PARENTS NOT NOTICING SOMETHING FOR fark'S SAKE
//or treating the something with more and more "cracking down" on Dat Debbil
/Found any bodies yet? Because when the reveal comes, they'll be lucky if it's that he only likes that kind of bone

Nice, Fark. I type it and apologize for my HTML-fu or lack thereof, and THEN I notice the cute little "link" tool, and go OH, hey! And then backspace and tidy and fix for your viewing displeasure.

And then the fail.

Lick something of mine that the godlets wouldn't like me to clarify, Fark toolbar thingy.
