Shadowcatboy, I want you to play with my boobs and fondle my what nots.

That line actually came up in a conversation with my friend, since she was really really unconvinced when I mentioned that I was bi (she thinks I'm totally gay).

:j: "Do you even know what to do with a girl?"
:v: "Of course I do. You play with their boobs and fondle their whatnots."

Apparently she found this less than convincing.

I actually had that happen in a real D&D game once. Also, you are the best thing in the history of humorous political GIFery. Never stop.

I should share a couple tales from the table someday. Unfortunately I have a tendency to be one of "those" players. :)

Also this is crossposted from D&D:

If you want to relive the amazing debacle of the 2008 McCain-Palin campaign in a behind-the-scenes reconstruction, you've gotta watch Game Change. It's playing repeatedly on HBO, but it might pop up on Netflix or Hulu sometime soon.

:eng101: "How do you plan on maintaining our alliance with Great Britain on Iraq even though support for the war there is at an all-time low?"
:j: "I think... the United States has always maintained a great relationship with the Queen, and John McCain will continue to have an open dialogue with her."
:eng101: "...Uh, Governor? The Queen is not the Head of Government anymore, she's the Head of State."
:j: "...well then, who's the Head of Government?"
:eng101: "...The Prime Minister." :(

:v: "I think we should start by prepping the Governor on Russian economic policy as it relates to post-Cold War tensions during the pre-Putin era."
:eng101: "I was thinking something a little bit simpler."
:v: "...How much simpler?"
(tutoring Palin)
:v: *taps map* "THIS. Is Germany. They were the primary antagonists during World War I and World War II."
:j: *scribbles notes*

I know that some say that Conservatives will use this film to lionize Palin further, while Liberals will use it to lambaste her. But I didn't get this at all. The way I saw it, everyone was playing fair, from McCain, to his advisors, to Palin, to the press. The problem wasn't any one individual's behavior. It was the collision of small-town values with the immense complexity of national politics.

You can really see the immense psychological strain it put on poor Palin. She's not stupid, crazy, or evil. She just seems like your average soccer mom: sweet, polite, caring, and highly protective of her family's dignity. I would love to cook dinner for her and her family someday. I just wouldn't want her anywhere close to a position of power.

That was my favorite line, because I truly don't think Santorum views women as "normal humans"

This was the original intention, though it's probably a bit too subtle. :)

Gonna finish up the sword thing and then it's on to one that puts a little more focus around Ron. :v:

It's almost like this game of D&D is some sort of metaphor.

Pretty much. Heck, even back to the first story arc from gifs 1-4, the point was to make fun of how Republicans will whine and bitch and moan until Obama caves and does what they want (like the whole HCR debacle). This ultimately leads to disaster, and then they blame Obama for implementing the crappy policies they themselves fought for.

The toughest part now is keeping up with the junk coming in from the news cycle. With the time it takes to think up a plot and animate it, I'm usually a week behind what's hot and current. :)

Next will be Ron Paul, hopefully he won't drop out of the race before I can finish his poster. You can follow the series on my website and get some different sizes at: basvanoerle.com or my tumblr.

You're a beautiful human being. :patriot:

Real life is calling so the next gifs will be up a little late. Until then I'll be spreading these posters of yours around on facebook. :)

Answer honestly: how much of this arc was setting up the "batshit insane" line? Because it was all, ALL, worth it.

It just evolved naturally to include that line from a rather-obvious reference to peak oil and all the attacks against alternative energy. :v:

I love Demolition Man. I was kinda worried that some people wouldn't get the reference and I'd feel like an old 80s boy. :v:

Also, credit for Rick Santorum-chan should not go to me. I think it was some enterprising goon who posted in the "Let's make politicians into child pageant models!" thread.

If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure it's from when Santorum lost his reelection bid in PA in 2006.

Could be wrong, though.

Pretty much this. Santorum as the incumbent had suffered a catastrophic loss by a margin of almost 20%. Part of this was due to the whole campaign to relabel his name, though the fact that people were sick of Republicans and that he was loving insane were also factors. His entire family seemed bewildered and shocked.

Also drat, I can't believe I just realized that his daughter was dressed like some 18th-century farmgirl.
