If Trump wins again Marcus can write a book called DIPSHIT RACIST: A SECRET HISTORY OF THE 21st CENTURY

If Osama Bin Laden had an “R” next to his name he’d get 35-40 pct of the vote I reckon

Lol This reads like part of a Star Wars film opening crawl:
(via CNN)

“ Entrenched at the White House with no public events on his schedule, Trump has personally dispatched advisers to battlegrounds across the country hoping to wage legal battle in places where the margins remain tight. Despite skepticism about the efficacy of his strategy, Trump has remained intent on waging a prolonged fight, viewing it as his only option.”

_I feel like this is a Twilight Zone ep where we keep being told moer voets, and moer voets are coming, and the voets never come, and nobody ever wins, and nobody ever loses, and we are perennially in this election forever as time becomes a loop_

Every day they will count exactly half the remaining votes.

But the follow-up is key:

Haha I was just copying that and getting ready to paste it but I’m too slow on my phone.

Follow-up was a fucking masterstroke, well done katherine!

It really is an epic one-two punch of excelsiority and I am not sure how it can be bested in our lifetimes

can we have a separate US Election excelsior thread please

pip pip

imago doing a half-decent markers impersonation

Abolish the Excelsior Police

lol it as you see it

if we're doing this can we also get a separate obituary thread for the "stars" of british sitcoms, it feels like four people named ian craig-fellows who were in "bosom manor" and "the postmaster general" die every week

Not Ian Craig-Fellows!!

Legit crying tears over 'Bosom Manor'

I watched Bosom Manor with my parents on PBS every week ... don't laugh!

I came back and saw my own post and then saw your post and now I'm crying laughing again.

it is fantastic

ha

"they just grifted apart" lmao unreal

By "socially impenetrable" I mean, is there a female musician in her late 50s doing songs about particles and ancient kingdoms or whatever who can attract a crowd as large as TMBG?

This is more of a controversial ILM opinion, but I'm really sick of posters who think I want to read Christgau's opinion on literally anything. Post Christgau quotes in the Christgau thread. We don't need to hear it otherwise.

low-hanging fruit perhaps, but i loled

i still don't understand if i'm being told i shouldn't post here anymore, but it is clever i guess

I thought the C- was being awarded to Christgau in that exchange?

xp i didn't take it that way budo! posted it here just because it was a satisfyingly good imitation, but yes i agree with halfway that the intended meaning is that christgau ain't here, and we don't want him

The smug satisfaction of my first-ever excelsior shout-out tarnished by the spectre of budo taking offence — none meant! I was posting in character for lulz only. Don’t go changin’

yeah I just took it as a hilarious riff on Christgau's style. I'm a budo fan!

haha, ok! i see now how Lavator's interpretation makes sense

happy to assist here, hd

I felt bad for Christgau, though

Good post budo

I Killed Christgau with My Big Flag Post

hahaha

"pissin a shit" as they say in the uk

omg mattkkkk made me spit out my drink

tiny payback for your comedic riches Neando

Just because:

"Daddy's gone mad, hasn't he?" Dudley asked Aunt Petunia dully
"I'll be in my room, making no noise and pretending I'm not there," said Harry dully.
"How many monsters d'you think this place can hold?" Ron asked dully.
Dully, Harry turned it over
"Madam Pomfrey fixed him best she could," said Hagrid dully
“Balderdash,” said Harry dully.
“Great,” said Harry dully
Well, it might be easier to get past a dragon if he were a ferret, Harry thought dully
“Quidditch,” he said dully
“Fairy lights” he said dully
“I asked her to go with me just now,” Harry said dully
“Dunno,” Harry said dully
“No,” said Sirius dully
“I’ve told you,” Harry repeated dully
They bowed clumsily, muttering dully
And all the while, his scar burned dully
There you go, Sirius, Harry though dully
“Fine” said Harry dully
Some of them had broken windows, glimmering dully
Harry wondered dully
“Well I tried,” she said dully
“Well,” said Angelina dully
“Yeah, I suppose you’d better,” said Harry dully.
They glimmered dully
An ornate letter S, inlaid with many small green stones, glinted dully

(All but the last are from the first five books, maybe one bit of editing advice finally got through)

seeing some clips from this and it looks like Chappelle is straight up a Jeff Dunham-level comedian now. obviously there's no one like this here but do those who actually love the anti-trans shit actually think this shit is funny? it's like the same variations of the One Joke that boomers have been making for decades now
