14. Didn't Know It Existed, Thanks!

Saved me a lot of embarrassment asking stoopid questions. :toast:

[Catfight]

16. OH MAN...look up MORANS....everytime I still see that photo I laugh!

In Florida, there was this little peanut place that had a sign: "Fryed Boiled Peanuts," no shit....had to be a freeper! I used to laugh so hard every time I passed it to my parents house.

18. That picture...

...is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. That guy telling us to get a brain - that's like George Bush telling the National Guard how proud he is to be one of them.

[tjdee]

21. Lord, it never stops being funny.

Get a brain! Morans

Hilarious every time--interesting you should suggest it, that's the second thing I looked for.

[Catfight]

22. Me too! It's the classic picture! I need to print it out and hang it in

my cube.

3. Lately she's looking more like Jack Nicholson's "The Joker" to me.

You know, in the first Batman movie?

[Hepburn]

5. Because...

....she is sour and green??? :shrug:

[cheshire]

4. Sour expression on her face when she is pissed at him?

[StopTheMorans]

6. because pickles have no substance

(i.e. no caloric value)?

[Cha]

19. No brain...i.e. pickled brain..

pickles!

[MsTryska]

7. It'shis nickname for her apparently...

i think cuz she's usually pickled.

(don't quote me on that)

[comsymp]

8. Because

Tranked-up, Boyfriend Killing, Dope Dealing, Stepford Enabler doesn't lend itself to a clever acronym?

But seriously folks, it's supposedly legit:

9. LMFAO

[DeaconBlues]

10. After listening to Kitty Kelley

I think it has something to do with her ability to make a bong out of a cucumber.

[HughBeaumont]

11. Maybe because she

looks like a well-preserved corpse.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Bush* calls her that because she's a sourpus!

[troubleinwinter]

13. One of his nicknames for her.

He also calls her "Slappy". What's up with that?!!

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Because she slaps him around a lot.

[oldtime dfl_er]

[robbedvoter]

20. We should use OCD too - Jenna said that's what they also call her

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
