Teabagging

[Banquo's Ghost]

Gentlemen,

Let's not test the limits of international double-entendre too far, please.

Remember, we're a PG-13 site and there might be Republicans reading.

But it is our word of the year! To swaffel is to hit an object with a top-heavy penis, made famous by a dutch student who swaffeled the Taj Mahal.

[Lemur]

Okay, that may have been the best tebagging pun ever. Some talking head on cable just said, "And in Cavuto's defense, if you are planning simultaneous teabagging all around the country, you‘re going to need a Dick Armey."

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

You owe me one, Lemur. And that guy goes way above and beyond the call of duty.

Thanks for the smelling salts, Banquo, I'd gotten woozy after those posts. I didn't know there WERE such activities, much less words to describe them. GOP does stand for God's Own Politicians of course, so we simply cannot countenance anyone even thinking in that fashion.

I just want to know if the real Lemur's going to be upset when he finds out that Keith Olbermann has hijacked his .Org account. All I need is a few baseball references to come sneaking in and I'll have enough to go the police.

Now wait a cotton pickin' minute, I haven't watched an entire Olberman show (just the usual YouTube clips) but isn't he really serious? Every time I see him he's barking on about how someone is a liar and dishonorable and should fall on their sword if they have any decency, and so forth.

No, no, if you're going to conflate me with an MSNBC character, I'll take the lesbian, please. At least she's funny. And she was the first to really give teabagging a good going-over.

Anybody attended one of these events today? Looks like the ones in D.C. never got the proper permits to do much of anything.

Thats epic fail right there.

It's a good thing those Bostonians back in 1773 had enough foresight to get their permits.

Just got back from one of three(!) in my town. About 60 people, outside the Post Office (safely off federal property), hand-made signs, a little chanting. No speaker.

There's another planned in about a half-hour. I'm thinking of going - it may be larger, being after folks' work-hours, and it's gonna be in what we loosely call "downtown", outside city hall. Wifey took the still-camera with her to her Mom's, so all I can get are cell-phone photos, but I'll try to pull them off that device via bluetooth.

Cool stuff, Kukri.

Meanwhile, somewhere n America, a dump truck full of tea is driving down an empty road toward an uncertain future ...

Protesters, using a rented truck to haul the million tea bags, began unloading their cargo at the park this morning but were told by officials that they didn't have proper permits and must move the tea . They complied with the order but are still considering what to do with the load.

What will become of the tea truck? Nobody knows. It's like the Flying Dutchman. But full of tea. (I think Lipton's is making out like a bandit on all of this.)

Don't teas me, bro.
