I'd like to solicit your best snappy comebacks.
Edited on Thu Aug-05-04 01:06 AM by VolcanoJen
So, whenever I walk into work these days (bar/restaurant), assorted "regulars" have taken to shouting, "Hey, JenJen! GO BUSH!!"

Since eye-rolling and "Oh, fuck right off, please" have failed to stop their oh-so-clever barrage, I'm wondering what the rest of you would say, in a similar situation.

And yes, I can tell my regulars to fuck off without consequence. I love my job.

Help,
JenJen :D

1. "Shove it " works...
and "Go Cheney yourselves"

or, as we'd do in NY, just say "I got yer Bush right here" while grabbing your crotch. :)

2. Go Bush
When they say Go Bush, you say He's Going, All Right. Right out the door. And go-o-o-o-od riddance.

3. I told my conservative bro in law the other day
A conservative is like a man with two perfectly good legs that never learned to walk forward.I thought his head was going to explode.
(FRD quote by the way)
I also like .. Bush and Dick are good in bed but bad in white house.

9. Excellent responses!!!
Edited on Thu Aug-05-04 01:17 AM by VolcanoJen
So far, Dookus is winning. I'm digging the "New York Style" response the best, so far. :D

When they occassionaly start the "Four More Years!" crap, I respond with "Four More Wars! Wooooohoooooo! Kevlar up, buddy! Send your sons!" which tends to work, until the next day. Republicans, like elephants, are short in the memory department. No harm was caused to elephants in the previous statement.

What is with these asshats? I want so badly to debate them, to ask them what they like best... the war? the deficit? the lies? the dead bodies? the weeping mothers? But as we know, logic just doesn't cut it with these people... they're mostly interested in bullying.

Did you know that Flo had her own spin-off show? I learned that, through my creative googling...

25. Off-topic trivia question for all...
... in the photo of the "Flo" spin-off show, who is the broad on the right?

I seem to remember her from other assorted 70's shows... or maybe it was just Match Game.

Anyone?

32. I Heart IMDB.com!
Joyce Bulifant... and, my suspicions are confirmed, she was a regular on "Match Game."

According to IMDB, she was supposed to be the original Carol Brady, before that ladder-climbing bitch Florence Henderson snagged the role. :D

27. "No thanks, I don't need another
incompetent drunk in my life. You idiots are enough."

or

"You guys know the more you say it doesn't make it more likely to happen, right? Look at all the times you've said, 'Tonight I'm gonna get laid,' and yet here you are."

or

"You've convinced me. So in anticipation of another four years of a Bush economy, all drink prices are doubled."

or

"The one good thing if Bush wins is that we'll be able to spend more time together. Me, working; you, looking through the want ads while eating free peanuts for dinner."

You simply MUST have been a bartender in a previous life. If not, you should be... hell, come to Cincinnati, and I'll hire you on wit alone.

45. Ronnie Gilbert (of the folk group, The Weavers), was singing in a club
in the 50's. A drunk came up and challenged her due to the publicity about The Weavers (improperly) being termed "Communists". He shouted, "Let's all sing The Star Spangled Banner!"

She replied, "Good idea. Let's sing it when you're sober."

46. Hey Jen, Here's a few.

Don't you have some weapons of mass destruction to look for?

I hear the Marines are looking for a few good men, what are you doing here?

Why aren't you in Fallujah?

I know you support Bush, you use fuzzy math every time you short me on the tip.

Let's find some middle ground. You screwed up when you put Barney Fife in office. Let me screw up and support a guy who gave Barney more than one bullet.

If you were any scarier, Tom Ridge would announce another orange alert.

I support Bush, too, every time I pay taxes on the tips you fail to leave behind.

As soon as one of your loudmouth customers walks in and mouths off, immediately give him/her the check. When he/she complains, reply, "Yeah, well, 'Mission Accomplished.'"

Before you get too scared and call Homeland Security, the white powder in the blue packets is sweetner, doll.

I can't understand any man who would support a fellow who traded Sammy Sosa.

Hey, sweetie, you know what Dick Cheney says at times like this?

Did you know the President's favorite country band is "Asleep at the Wheel." What a coincidence, huh?

Next time your order is wrong, can I blame it on Bill Clinton, too?

Harvey Briggs
