There are no words for that.

I'd hit it.

I like the music that was playing when the cats were on.

That said, how the hell else was the new House of Representatives Youtube channel going to get mentioned on Fark?

You should update the pic. It's a crappy shop imo.. to obvious.

Ok I have to admit I chuckled, simply because the speaker of the house tried it. But yes, this truly proves it's dead.

Which meme is it? No youtube at worky...

This is as bad as when Nancy Reagan started wearing slap bracelets!

It was even better when CNN played this video 2 days ago claiming it was "the newest hot thing on the internet... getting Rickrolled?"

CNN lost any remaining credibility with me that night.

 
video man 2009-01-16 11:58:39 AM  
Please, just make it the Boxxy meme, that just destroys /b/ for me...

 
Unobtanium 2009-01-16 11:59:07 AM  
Rick himself pretty much capped the meme in the head when he appeared in the Macy's parade. Nancy's staffers could only have topped that maybe by having video of Rick himself walking into the Speaker's actual office to the tune.

it might have been hip and trendy a year ago. they should have just captioned the cats with some lolcatz speek

At my office we use AP style. It's leached into my everyday typing.

My fellow Americans, I stand before you to report that the state of our longcat is long.

If I wanted to see cats doing something stupid, yet amusing... I'd watch this instead. (link is popping fresh)

I just noticed, they have a video of a chimp riding a Segway.

I'm not going to comment on this further right now. I think you might know what I'm thinking about, though.

Personally, I think this was a brilliant commentary on the 110th Congress. Maybe it's a promise of more for the 111th Congress.

My fellow Americans, we're no stranger to hard times. The things that get us through these hard times, we're also no stranger to. Love, charity, community spirit, a full commitment, these are what I'm thinking of.

Wall street, you know the rules, and so do I. Therefore, we need to come together and decide to swear to Americans that we will stop telling them lies and hurting then.

Americans, your hearts have been aching. Many of you are too shy to say it. It is my solemn vow that I will never give you up, and with the help of Congress, we will never let you down again.

I love the Parry Gripp stuff. 'Chimpanzee Riding A Segway' was my favorite when he first made the song, then I was sort of disappointed he didn't take the obvious angle and put that in his video. Still funny though.

Holy shiat that pisses me off.

Where is the respect for the office that woman holds?

Hey.. let's throw the gavel that commands ALL OF OUR CONGRESSMEN on the floor and let a cat play with it. Then we can get a camera and film it for the youtube channel. Never mind using the channel and financial resources of this office for informative, intelligent communication. Piss on that, just like the constitution.

 
hienekenftw 2009-01-16 12:51:38 PM  
My fellow Americans, today is a never day. You have shown the world that "hope" is not just another word for "gonna", and that "change" is not only something we can believe in again, but something we can actually give.

Today we celebrate, but let there be no mistake - America faces you and up challenges like never before. Our economy is never. Americans can barely afford their mortgages, let alone have enough money left over for gonna. Our healthcare system is let. If your you is sick and you don't have insurance, you might as well call a down. And America's image overseas is tarnished like a we're no. But strangers together we can right this ship, and set a course for to.

Finally, I must thank my love family, my you campaign volunteers, but most of all, I want to thank know for making this historic occasion possible. Of course, I must also thank you, President Bush, for years of the the American people. Without your rules and so do i efforts, none of this would have been possible.

I think you're confused. The cats let HER play with the gavel... not the other way around. You didn't realize who our true masters are? Think about it. Catnip is legal but marijuana is illegal? Isn't it obvious? I'm expecting tuna industry bailouts next...

 
nugz4lunch 2009-01-16 01:01:21 PM  
Think about it. This is the lady that leads the people that pass the bills that they don't have time to read.

Some people just don't have a clue as to how the world works.

I'm more concerned that you think a gavel commands your congress.

This

The only original way to do a rickroll now would be for him to do an unannounced appearance at an actual concert.
