I have too much money and all my scams are paid off. I'm going to go bet on things he will say next week.

I'll win, I'm due.

Anyone have a link to the page on the site? Can't find it.

I'm betting he will say "pie".

 
PainInTheASP [TotalFark] 2009-01-15 02:44:37 PM  
I'm doing a shot every time he says "change".

/Gotta stock up.

"George Bush is a cracker" = 2,400:1

 
Snarfangel [TotalFark] 2009-01-15 02:59:46 PM  
It would be hilarious if he incorporated every one of those words somewhere. He could make a filler paragraph in the middle.

"Some people have called Angela Merkel a Shetland sheepdog or a bulldog, but that's just bananas. To those people, I say damn it! And speaking of dams, my stimulus package includes plenty of money for new ones..."

Before this thread, I would have said there's nothing that would ever get me to move to a foreign country.

 
James72 [TotalFark] 2009-01-15 03:26:49 PM  
Someone should forward this to Obama. Get the US treasury to make a few bets, and have him say a few non sequitur words at the inauguration, and those winnings should get this country right back on track.

I'd like to see a VERY subtle rickroll... he just quotes one or two lines line from that song, enough to make internet-savvy people forever wonder if he was making a sly joke or what.

"America, I make you a promise. Never gonna give you up or let you down, especially in these difficult economic times, and..."

I've got good money on him starting his speech "'scuse me while I whip this out".

They've* been doing that for quite a while now with S&P 500 futures. A bunch of way out of the money calls are suddenly purchased only a few days from expiration, super cheap, then TADA, miraculously the S&P stocks rally, and the futures payoff.

* Who are they? Follow the money, if you can. Worse still, who's on the other side of the trade? Why you are of course! If not initially, then you will be once the hedge fund selling them blows up, requiring a bailout to them or to their lender.

To the American people, you know the rules, and so do I.

Hello my fellow Americans and banana. Excuse me, I mean good Evening.

What are the odds he doesn't say "change"?

 
Bith Set Me Up 2009-01-15 06:35:32 PM  
Taking all bets he'll open with "'Scuse me while I whip this out..."...

On that note, does anyone have that newspaper article that starts all serious about a robbery/shooting then busts into those lyrics.

 
FTGodWin 2009-01-15 06:37:37 PM  
Oh, I'm betting that Obama will levitate down the entire parade route, being supported by the karmic energy of his multitude of followers.

Then He will proceed with the miracle of the blunts and biatches, providing for all, as he is want to do.

Step 1. Take out large loan.
Step 2. Drive to Vegas. Bet it all on red.
Step 3. Buy lottery tickets with the winnings.
Step 4. Use lottery winnings to buy and flip houses.
Step 5. Take profits to Vegas. Bet it all on Black.
Step 6. Bet all your earnings on Banana.
Step 7. Break into Obama's house and discretely replace one random word in his speech with banana.
Step 8a. PROFIT!
Step 8b. GO TO PRISON!

......it might just work.
