I’m sure you’ve seen those motivational posters around.
Listless

(This parody was created by Despair, Inc.’s Parody Motivator Generator.)

I saw this picture and thought it must be the world’s least appropriate motivational poster.

Israelly Cool! thinks it’s part of a subliminal effort to affect people’s perceptions.

Longtime readers know how much I like to parody song lyrics. And I’m pretty damned good at it.

This guy is great at it.

“I’m Still Here” is a song that I’ve tried for years to write a parody for, featuring the history of the Jews. Jeff Stambovsky did it for Hillary Clinton, and it’s hilarious. And he did every. single. verse. Now that’s talent.

He parodies Al Gore in this one, to the tune of “I’m a Believer.” Too funny.

But this is the one that will appeal the most to my readers:

Intersting, isn’t it, that so many of the most beautiful Christmas songs were written by jews? And isn’t it just as interesting that gentile lyricists and composers haven’t written any songs for jewish holidays? Until Holiday For Heretics, that is. HFH showed the world what goyim songwriters could do, if given the chance. Dedicated to the memory of Allan Sherman, a true genius.

Holiday for Heretics. Thanks, Jeff.

I’ll be home for Pesach
Save some matzo brie
Two nights a year
I long to hear
How pharoah’s men all died.

This one got me laughing out loud while Mom’s watching n3mbrs. She’s here for Pesach. Now she wants to know why I’m laughing.

Thanks a lot, Jeff.

LOST: The return of the return of the Lost episode summary

Filed under: Parody, Television

[FLASHBACK TO John Locke, depressed and at the Disability office, being asked stupid questions by an annoying bureaucrat that proves once again that Hollywood script writers have zero connection to real, actual working people] [Meryl says: gee, what an exciting way to start a series of flashbacks! Wow, what next, the doctor's office for the annual proctology exam?)

[Back on the island, John, Kate, and Sayyid are watching from the bushes (and just how creepy is that, really?) as Jack runs, skips, and plays happily with The Others. Rousseau glowers in the background and disappears, because she is Mystic and Cryptic and she is still DeLenn and can do no wrong in our eyes. The three get even more horrified when they see Jack shaking hands with the man formerly known as Henry.]

Sayyid: Jack’s gone over to the Other side!
Locke: No he hasn’t.
Sayyid: Has too!
Locke: Has not!
Kate: [rolls eyes]

[FLASHBACK To John in a crappy little apartment]
Rich kid: My mother is in love with your father
Locke: He’s not my father
Rich kid: The whole damned audience knows he’s your father, and the teasers all said we were gonna find out how you wound up in that wheelchair, and Meryl has five bucks on your father being the one who cause it, so shut up and move the plot along!
Locke: Never heard of him. But do you like how I’m practicing my brooding, mysterious look that I’m going to use when I get to the island?
Rich kid: WTF do I care? I’m going to be dead by the second act.

[The island again, the three creeping around in the bushes, this time with binoculars, while the cellos and violins get annoyingly loud again in the failed hopes of stirring a dramatic moment because the script sure as hell can't seem to do that]

Kate: I’ll go in the front, Sayyid go around back, and Lock will, uh, wait—there are only two doors—
Locke: I’ll go walk around looking mysterious. It’s what I do best.
Sayyid: I thought I was going to be the mysterious one this week!
Kate: [rolls eyes]

[Inside Jack's Shack, Jack is playing the piano.]
Kate: Hi!
Jack: We’ve been on this island how long and we still haven’t figured out that no matter where we go, there are cameras? They don’t call this Big Brother Surivor for nothing, you know.
Kate: Oh, crap. They’re going to cuff me again. And this time, I won’t like it.
Jack: Yeah, but you know the only reason you’re here is so I can get the Jack & Kate fans going again and beat down the Sawyer & Kate fans. My last flashback proved that I can be a bad boy, too.
Kate: [rolls eyes]

[Inside Henry's house]
Henry: Is that a gun in your pocket or did you really miss me?
Locke: I want the submarine
Henry: We don’t have a submarine
Locke: Don’t make me go down to the docks and find it myself!
[Alex walks in. Locke grabs her.]
Alex: Dad, was there anything else you needed me for other than to be held hostage?
Henry: Yeah, go get Sayyid’s pack. We need a little C4 to liven up this show.
Alex: You know, Dad, when they say the show’s bombing, they mean it’s dying in the ratings, not going boom.
Henry: Shut up and get me the C4 while I taunt Locke about his father and he taunts me about being a cripple.
Alex: [rolls eyes]

[FLASHBACK TO Locke confronting his father]
Locke the younger: I know you’re a crook, and I’m gonna tell your fiancee if you don’t.
Locke the elder: I may be a crook, but at least I still have my hair.
Locke the younger: [rolls eyes]
Locke the elder: Don’t look at me like that, boy! I made you, and I can break you!
Locke the younger: Not until the third act.

[In the Henry House: Locke and Henry are exchanging taunts and mysterious sayings about the island and its powers.]
AUDIENCE: This is really boring.
WRITERS: WTF do you want from us? We’re making this crap up as we go along. You know how hard it is to tie EVERYone to this stupid island?
AUDIENCE: No it isn’t. You just suck at it.
WRITERS: No, YOU suck. You deserted us when we stopped showing reruns!
AUDIENCE: Wait. You don’t show Lost for six weeks, then you get mad at us because we weren’t watching it? Love your logic. Not.
Kate: Hello! My scene now! My big scene with Jack! I get to look longingly at him not knowing that he knows I had sex with Sawyer!

[In the game room. Kate the Wonderful gets her handcuffs from in back of her to in front of her just as a guard comes in to announce that Jack is here.]
Kate: What did they do to you to make them like them?
Jack: They said I could go home.
Kate: You’re deserting us?
Jack: Yes, but I’m going to bring back help.
Kate: Why would you trust these people? They’ve broken their word on absolutely everything they’ve ever promised, and you’re trusting them to let you go?
Jack: Well, yeah. I don’t write this shit.
WRITERS: We HEARD that!
Jack: You were supposed to.

[Lots of stuff happens. Sayyid sees Alex and tells her that her mother is alive. Rousseau sees her Alex. Locke and Henry continue their game about the submarine, even as the audience is still going, "A submarine? WTF? A sub? Who the hell needs a submarine to get on and off an island? WTF? Like the anomaly is real? Shyeah, right."

Alex brings the C-4 to Locke. Henry tells Locke not to blow up the sub at least until after Jack leaves the island. It's a one-way trip. All communications are dead. Locke walks off with the C-4. We knew he would.

[FLASHBACK TO: Locke's father's apartment, an apartment in a high-rise. Fans all over the country start nodding their heads. Meryl loses five bucks. She thought sure his father was going to slam into John's VW.]
Locke the younger: You’re still conning her, and now you killed her son!
Locke the elder: I’m a con man, not a killer. Say, would you mind standing next to this window that just happens to be eight stories up, and oh yeah, turn your back on me too, will you?”
Locke the younger: Sure, Dad. I’m a sucker for, well, everything and everyone.
Locke the elder: Now this won’t hurt a bit. [pushes John out of window]

[THE GAME ROOM]
Locke: We both know you wanted this to happen.
Henry: Yeah, but I still played you like the violins in the background music. Because it is my part in this story to always, always, always pretend that I foresee every single outcome, and to make you think you are lower than low and smaller than small because I get to see the scripts before you do.
Locke: Yeah, but I have the steely jaw and blue eyes. Women think I’m hot. They they’re your a nerd, and now you’re a nerd in a wheelchair. I win.
Henry: Hey! Just for that, I’m going to show you the man from Tallahatchee. Or Tallahassee. Or Tallawhosee. I have no idea what. Anyway, I’m just really jealous that the island keeps bringing you people and I’ve asked and asked and asked for Eva Longoria, and yet, she does not show.
Locke: What are you talking about?
[Thug opens door]
Locke the elder: Hi, son! WTF am I doing here?
AUDIENCE: That’s what we’d like to know!
Locke: [rolls eyes]

I can’t! No more, says Manuel II.

It was gloomy and quiet in the emperor’s palace in Constantinople since the evening of September 26, when the mail pigeon with a message from the Ottoman Sultan arrived.

The message reader clerk that was summoned by His Majesty to read the message, reported lately that it was at the following paragraph

Guided by the principles of Islam, the religion of moderation, tolerance, recognition of the other and all revealed religions, the Ministers believe that it is befitting to the Emperor to retract or redress the said statement, in demonstration of the correct spirit of Christianity in dealing with Islamic issues.

that the Emperor “lost it completely”, as the clerk put it. “He broke three priceless vases of Venetian glass, and then threw on the floor the unique Tupperware set he received the other day from the Russian ambassador and jumped on it… yes, simply jumped on it!” whispered the awed clerk.

Today the emperor summoned his Foreign Minister and sent him on a mission that will encompass all Muslim capitals of the world and includes wallowing in the mud, tearing hair, abasing self in any way required by the hosts and generally showing the deepest humiliation humanly (and inhumanly) possible.

“I simply cannot take it any more, Stavros,” said the emperor embracing his loyal Minister after handing him a protective suit (for wallowing), knees and elbows protectors (for crawling on stone floors) and soothing balm (for banging forehead on same floors). “Please do your best to satisfy these… these…”, the emperor succeeded to say before breaking up in tears.

According to the emperor’s favorite chambermaid, he requested that she purchase several burqas in different colors. No member of emperor’s household ventured an opinion regarding this strange request so far.

Manuel II: I meant the Jews!

Posted on September 18th, 2006 at 10:00 am by SnoopyTheGoon.

Filed under: Parody

Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus issued a correction that returned peace and tranquility to the world.

Interviewed in his summer residence near Constantinople, while he was tending to his praised collection of orchids, overlooking his two favorite scythian slave gardeners, Manuel II spoke truthfully about his genuine mistake.

“Of course, I didn’t mean to say Muhammad - what nonsense! I was going to say Samuel - you know, that Jewish prophet. This one is real bad penny. I don’t know what happened to me. It must have been the kippers I ate at breakfast that day, something was wrong about them. I have already ordered the breakfast cook to be strangled. With extreme prejudice.”

In related news: the Muslim world grudgingly accepts the apology. “Did I say I want him beheaded? Surely I meant befriended - in the sense that he is going to embrace Islam, the most peaceful religion in existence. This son of a … I mean, our dear Manuel II was clearly enthralled by the Zionists that insinuated themselves into his household. But we’ll help him to get rid of these sons of pigs,” said the Sultan to the press this morning.

Still, some of the more zealous Muslim groups are not satisfied by the state of affairs. “All this does not amount to a definitive apology,” declared Egyptian Pasha. “We want that infidel to crawl on all four to Mecca before we consider the incident forgotten,” he added after some mulling.

Some help from my readers

Posted on August 13th, 2006 at 12:32 pm by Meryl Yourish.

Filed under: Israel, Parody

I have been trying to write a parody of “I’m Still Here” using events from Jewish history, but have been unable to get anything going.

Here’s what I need you from my readers: Summaries of events in Jewish history in short phrases, like, “Crossing the Red Sea,” “the Inquisition,” etc. If you can just list them in the comments, I can pull them together into the song parody that I’ve been wanting to do for ages.

And yes, this has everything to do with having seen “Follies” last night and heard the song again.

Events from ancient to modern times, up to and including “Rockets in Haifa.”

That’s one unsquare dude!

I need to pay more attention to the goings-on in Russia. One could miss a very important event and find oneself completely out of the picture and without a dry towel.

The story started here: Russia’s Putin Kisses Little Boy Walking Through Kremlin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin astonished a young boy when he stopped by during a walk through the Kremlin. Despite the current political pressures about Iran and the G8 summit scheduled to hold in Russia in two weeks, Putin still found it necessary to exchange a words with the little boy before lifting his shirt to kiss him on the stomach, All Headline News reports.

Aside of the surprising insistence of Mossnews (essentially a Russian media outlet) that the deed was done by a Russian Putin, as if there were several more non-Russian ones, the story did not overwhelm me. After all, I myself was known to kiss some people on their stomachs. Although, come to think of it, the people I have treated that way were grown-ups and not of male persuasion. And I have almost never done it in public places, aside of some emergency situations.

But then the confusion and the uncertainty started to spread. Of course, the trouble-mongers of the Western press refused to accept the explanation, like in Putin fails to explain kissing boy on stomach:

After a week of frenzied speculation across Russia, President Putin finally explained yesterday that he had kissed a young boy on the stomach in the Kremlin because he wanted to “stroke him like a kitten”.

“People came up and I began talking to them, among them this little boy. He seemed to me very independent, sure of himself and at the same time defenceless, so to speak, an innocent boy and a very nice little boy,” Mr Putin said. “I tell you honestly, I just wanted to stroke him like a kitten and it came out in this gesture. There is nothing behind it.”

So what’s not good enough with that answer? No only is this journo a snooty Western capitalist running lackey dog, he is also a cat-hater to boot, apparently. For me, as a cat lover, it is a perfectly reasonable explanation. In the absence of an available cat, Putin has had to do with material at hand, so here.

But then this Times character shows off his expertise in all matters Russian:

Russians occasionally kiss babies on the stomach, but almost never five-year-old boys.

Wow, man! That was real deep, I say! Almost of par with the news that Muscovites are known to wrestle white bears on the streets of their city, both the bear and the Muscovite being under influence.

Anyway, the silly attempts of the Western MSM to throw a shadow, to divert attention and to pass the blame are doomed to failure. And Vladimir Vladimirovich is most definitely one unsquare dude. I see a new trend here, and the sooner the Western politicos start kissing boys on the stomach the better.

They can start training with their staff’s stomachs in the privacy of their offices. Under supervision of a trained nurse, to prevent apoplexy and knee injuries.

Nuclear scoop - directly from Khamenai.

Posted on June 16th, 2006 at 8:30 am by SnoopyTheGoon.

Filed under: Miscellaneous, Parody, Terrorism

Remember - you have first learned about it here, so do not let any mass media running lackey dog of capitalism, imperialism and Zionism to tell you differently.

IRNA reports that no other than the Supreme Leader himself decided to come out and to confess that the nuclear technology was developed in Persia hundreds (thousands?) years ago.

“Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei here Thursday said that the honorable move of Iranian youth to access indigenous nuclear technology is a historical move contributing to promotion of civilization and urged that it should expand in various directions.”

The passage copied above deserves additional analysis, but later. First of all, the item of utmost importance: “indigenous nuclear technology“. This statement finally discloses the fact the Elders suspected for many years: nuclear technology was not researched in Europe to be later implemented in US first. It existed for thousands of years in Persia, being passed from generation to generation by word of mouth and via the highly specialized N-gene, which existence was predicted by some biologists, but was never proved to this day.

We’ll learn more about this story, but what is clear is that, as expected, Iranian President finally got the word from the Hidden Imam. And the word was: ” Go ahead and blow up at will”.

Needless to say, this discovery puts to eternal shame the Zionist innuendo about that stooge of the Elders - Einstein - having something to do with theoretical fundamentals for the nuclear energy. There is only one fundament necessary - firm belief in the words of Quran. No measly physical theory is needed, when every Allah-fearing Persian carries that nuclear ability from the moment of his birth.

Now some more textual analysis. The meaning of the strange notice on the upper right corner: “Iran Supreme Leader - Nuclear” is clear now. The Supreme Leader decided to become the first Persian to use the N-gene to the utmost and switched himself from the “neutral” position to “armed”. Pissing him off right now may be detrimental to the environment. He could go off at the slightest disturbance.

And re his advice to the Iranian youth that “should expand in various directions“: it may be a good idea, but the time and the place should be stated precisely. I am not sure the Supreme Leader wants the ardent Iranian youngsters to go nuclear in Iran. But in his highly volatile state he may have forgotten to convey the small details of the master plan.

Memo to the Chief Archivist: Oren, this situation is intolerable. The Hasbara department cannot carry out its duties when one tentacle does not know what the other is doing. Look what our counterparts of IRIB have discovered, and we were not wise to:

Zionist Rabbis Torture Inmates at Guantanamo

A freed hostage of the notorious US torture centre on the Cuban enclave of Guantanamo, has revealed that most of the generals and interrogators of this horrendous prison are Zionists including several Jewish Rabbis.

According to the Baztab Internet site, Ibrahim Shan, a Turkish national, who had been detained at Guantanamo for two years, in his interview with the Turkish daily, Vakit, revealed that the Americans are using: “Jewish women to sadistically torture young Muslim detainees and in most cases leading to insanity of the hapless detainees who are subjected to sophisticated cruelties.”

The released Turkish citizen stated: “A Jewish commander named Yasef while torturing me at Guantanamo used to say: “After Iraq, Iran, and Syria, it will be Turkey’s turn and your women and men will become our slaves.”

Ibrahim Shan further noted that 90% of Guantanamo’s generals and officials had Jewish names and he saw at least 15 Rabbis interrogating Muslims.

Of course, now that the truth is out, we have no choice but to come out with full confession. Here is the picture of the rabbis in question in the full battle uniform:

Please notice: a) the mostly black coloring of the uniforms, concealing the blood stains and b) the ability of Elders’ make-up team to create a perfect image of an African-American (General?).

Regarding the use of Jewish women: I have asked a permission from SWMBO: she told me that if I reveal too much here, Gitmo will look like a paradise to me for the next few years. So, we are publishing here only a partial picture of the tool of torture:

Sorry about it, but you can try and deduce the rest…

And re the generals in charge of Guantanamo: true, all Jewish. Here a sample of some of them.

And what a wild beast each of them is - for crying out loud, after all this was the chief reason we sent them over to Gitmo. The most experienced torturers of the Q department start sweating hearing their names!

Oh, and re Turkey - don’t worry, it is under Elders’ control from times immemorial.

IRNA - the official Iran’s news agency - reported that the achievements of Iran in scientific research are lauded by UNESCO.

The UNESCO Chief Koichiro Matsuura in a message to the Third Isfahan Sheikh-Bahaei Job Creation Festival lauded Iran’s peaceful activities aiming to promote science and culture.

The message, which was read at the festival’s closing ceremony by the Head of UNESCO representative office in Tehran Abedin Saleh on Friday, appreciated the efforts of the Iranian government and its successful cooperation with UNESCO in all fields, particularly in the domains of science and technology.

Unfortunately, we must disappoint the Iranian folks in general and IRNA in particular. You see, the cavalier attitude of UNESCO toward the security issue is at the root of the whole story. That, and the phenomenon according to which every Oriental person looks the same to every Occidental person.

And the result - a prank video call from UNESCO offices by a Japanese stand-up comedian to Abedin Saleh. And the whole ensuing confusion.

So, UNESCO really must rethink their “we don’t need no steenking badges” policy…

Further on the subject of pranks:

EU starts releasing statements on Iran in Persian

“We know that a big majority of Iranians can read English, but the aim is to be able to reach out easier to the Iranian people,” Cristina Gallach, spokesperson for EU High Representative Javier Solana, told IRNA in Brussels.

On Thursday for the first time, the EU issued the conclusions adopted on Iran by the EU foreign ministers during their meeting in Brussels on Monday in Persian.

For all the good it will do, these conclusions may as well be released in Sanskrit…

Mahmoud A. as a stand-up comedian

Posted on April 25th, 2006 at 8:20 am by SnoopyTheGoon.

Filed under: Israel, Parody, Politics

That funny Iranian bloke Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is certainly redefining the envelope of the stand-up comedy, boldly and vigorously fighting his way to the top of this crowded genre. His new solo show tentatively named by Haaretz Iranian president says Israel cannot continue to exist is receiving rave reviews.

Before we go to the program itself, it must be mentioned that Mahmoud decided to spruce up for the new show. Most probably he is using that Saddam’s tailor who is now out of a lucrative commission and is pining for new Names to add to his client list.

Of course, Mahmoud still looks like a village idiot, but this cannot be helped. At least he is a jacketed village idiot now. Now to the show itself.

In wide-ranging remarks, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that Israel was an artificial state that could not continue to exist.

All states are artificial, Mahmoud. This is the second lesson a politician should learn, immediately after mastering that shit-eating grin you seem to perform with a certain flair.

“Some 60 years has passed since the end of World War II, why should the people of Germany and Palestine pay now for a war in which the current generation was not involved,” Ahmadinejad told a press conference.

That’s the way we, the Jooz, control the world, bro. It is called paying by installments. We have decided lots of years ago not to extract the full payment at once. That Shylock story is a good lesson: if you extract a vital organ, the rest of the body will not bring you money afterwards.

“Open the doors [of Europe] and let the Jews go back to their own countries,” the president said Monday. He added that Europeans should jettison their “anti-semitism” to enable Israelis to “return” to their continent, and “allow Palestinians to decide their own fate and live freely.”

We are real touched by your worry about the “anti-semitism” in Europe, Mahmoud. We believe that it is a passing phenomenon, and after another 50 or 100 million of your fellow Muslims move there, that scourge will be eradicated completely. Re the proposed move to Europe: as we have already agreed, we are ready to move to the place so far called Italy. But the locals, who were posted about that decision on time, keep dragging their feet. Their last reason for delaying their removal is that Fiat (that shitty brand most of them use) cars and trucks are not able to cross their borders, breaking down a few kilometers after the crossing. For crying out loud!

Ahmadinejad also hinted that Iran would consider withdrawing from the United Nations nuclear agency if membership produced no benefit. “What has more than 30 years of membership in the agency given us?” he asked rhetorically at a press conference.

Well, it kept you and your place from becoming so much molten glassy surface good only for cockroaches. It must count for something, ain’t it?

The last but not the least:

Ahmadinejad often gives long, rambling speeches but Monday was one of the rare occasions when he allowed foreign journalists to question him. He seemed to enjoy the encounter, making jokes and putting questions to the reporters.

Putting questions to the reporters is really bad technique. These folks do not know a question from shinola, and the resulting confusion really lowers the class. Avoid at all costs.

Now be a good fellow, listen to our advice and the next time we are in Tehran we might drop by to see your show. Or just drop something on your place, whatever comes first.

PETA and Crucifixion

Posted on April 15th, 2006 at 11:00 am by SnoopyTheGoon.

Filed under: EATAPETA, Parody

Our tireless friends of PETA are not content with pissing off the Jews. They are hell bent to prove that they are equal opportunity offenders. This time they have chosen to borrow the most powerful image of Christianity.

Vienna - A row erupted on Thursday over plans by animal protectionists to symbolically “crucify” three activists with animal masks in a Good Friday protest outside Vienna’s St Stephan’s Cathedral.

The militant pro-animal group PETA said the activists would be suspended from crosses with crowns of thorns on their heads.

The slogan of the protest action would be “We suffer and die for your sins of nourishment.”

Up to now, our sins of nourishment have not included eating PETA members. Judging by the picture, there is not a lot of good eating of that chicken. On the other hand, it is low cholesterol vegan meat, so those of us, carnivores, that battle high cholesterol levels, may take heed.

Now we are waiting with baited breath for the Muslim imagery from PETA. Surely it would be a nice and politically correct addition to the vegan menu?

In related news: vegans protest treatment of sheep in Australia in the nude.

US animal rights activists stripped off today in the first of a worldwide series of nude demonstrations to protest Australia’s treatment of sheep. A small group of members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) demonstrated outside the Australian embassy in Washington. In the coming days PETA plans nude protests outside Australian embassies in Vienna, Berlin, Paris and Sao Paulo. In Washington, four women and one man stripped down to g-strings and painted Australian flags on their bodies.

Since the article does not carry the picture of the protesters, choosing instead an idyllic snapshot of a ruminants family, one has to assume that the “small group” was not especially attractive in the nude.

More media members than activists were there to cover the spectacle. “We definitely attracted a lot of attention,” said Brandi Valladolid, a PETA spokesperson and one of the nude protesters. “Of course, protests like these are designed to create attention and it was a big success. We had 13 media outlets there.”

Poor schlubs…

Ms Valladolid said employees at the Australian embassy showed interest in the demonstration. “We noticed a lot of people in the embassy glued to their windows watching the demonstration wondering what the hell was going on,” she said.

A word to the wise, Brandi: some of them Aussies have an acquired… no, this is for Meryl’s place as well. Let’s just say that the word “skewer” has more than one meaning, OK?

Previously on Lost: A montage of images of the pregnant Claire from last season, specifically her kidnapping and return to the castaways’ camp. Also, scenes from the more recent capture of the suspected Other person in a jungle snare set by loopy French woman Rousseau. Sayid interrogates the inverted man:

Sayid: What’s your name?
Snared Guy: It’s Henry Gale. My wife and I found ourselves on this mysterious island when we lost control of our hot-air balloon.
Sayid: You’re lying. I know this because . . . I am a torturer. I also know this because everybody knows that Professor Marvel was the balloonist. You could never get Uncle Henry up in one of those newfangled things, especially in a twister-prone region like Kansas. How stupid do you think we are on this end of the island anyway?
