Californians Begin Instinctively Building Pyramids

 

pyramidsLos Angeles, CA—As the super drought looms, prospects for the 2nd largest state in America looks grim. With water waning and an overdue earthquake promising to slide parts of southern California into the ocean, Californians are acting on an instinctual impulse. They are doing what every civilization has done, just prior to its collapse, for tens of thousands of years. They’re starting to build pyramids.

Governor Jerry Brown is sympathetic to the cause, “We all know ancient aliens have put messages into our DNA and these messages are triggered during certain evolutionary stages. But, who knew, it also happens right before pending cataclysms. So we’re going to build some pyramids and then do what the Mayans did.”

During Memorial Day Speech Obama Chooses to Honor Those on Welfare

obamaMemorialDayArlington, VA—President Obama created quite the shit-storm today after a speech that many are calling “really bad.” Obama never mentioned the military during his 34 minute speech, but he did mention himself 23 times and Obamacare 12 times. This omission of anything relevant to those lost in battle is being considered a snub by military personnel and their families.

Obama looked almost jovial as he said, “Let’s not forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice, their paychecks, so that I could personally—or at least indirectly through government programs—support them for their braveness throughout their lifespans.”

Cluttered White House Lawn Becoming Impossible to Mow

Washington, DC—The head grounds keeper of the White House and “dreamer”, Enrique Rodriguez, is about to walk off the job as landscaping 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is becoming increasingly hazardous. Enrique is absolutely sick of breaking weed whackers on parts of drones and having his mowers constantly clogged with Secret Service condoms.

Enrique explained, “Over by the Visitor’s Pavilion my weed whacker kicked up a condom that knocked an unmanned drone right out of the air. That’s not the bad part. Then the drone spun out of control and took out an azalea planted by Lady Bird Johnson.” When asked about the worst offenders, Enrique said, “The fence jumpers are definitely the worst. Those bastards are killing more pansies than ISIS and Putin combined!”

Points: Why Republicans Don’t Seem to Make Any

The only thing Pokey and I can agree on these days is how we both speak different languages. Ich habe es dir gesagt, Herr Pokey! My friends list of top concerns is, in and of itself, very concerning. In 2015 we can all do better than conspiracy theories wrapped in delusion. Crappetizers? There’s clearly some stuff worth hashing out from his last post. Speaking of which, hopefully that “candy” will come in handy during this endeavor.

These Are Not the Drones You Are Looking For

Most Americans don’t approve of drone strikes. In fact, they’re less popular than Congress. Kidding, nothing is less popular than Congress, unless the poll asked: would you approve of a drone strike on your current location, right now? But even then it’s still within the statistical margin of error. I have supported drone strikes here on The Discord but only because Mr. Winslow keeps denying my “business” expenses.

Too Big to Debate: Pokey V Zano V Mayweather

The following is an email exchange between two Discord contributors, Pokey McDooris and yours truly, Mick Zano. I admit I added the conclusion after the email exchange, because I’m a terrible person. Life isn’t fair,
Pokey.

Pokey: I’ve been thinking about it, Zano. What’s the difference between Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders?

Zano: Benghazi?

Pokey: No, the answer is honesty.

Zano: Honesty? So it’s true what Billy Joel said, it is a lonely word?

Nepalese Man Found From 1934 Earthquake

Nepalese Man Found from 1934 Earthquake

Nepal—A 98-year-old Nepalese man, Siddhartha Horowitz, is relieved to be back in his home today after spending the last 81 years pinned under a collapsed building in Nepal.  Siddhartha’s home was reduced to rubble by an 8.0 magnitude earthquake that struck the region in 1934, but he was rescued during the earthquake that struck the same region just last week.

Siddhartha was glad to see his home completely rebuilt, in a different place, by people he doesn’t know. He soon learned, however, his wife started seeing other earthquake victims ages ago and is believed to have run off to join the Nepalese circus. Sid was relieved to finally be out of the 4 by 7 space he’d been trapped in for the last eight decades and was eager to catch up on the latest antics of the Kardashians.

After his rescue, Sid said, “I thought after 81 years they’d have given up on me, so I was surprised to hear rescuers talking about this as if it were still a rescue effort.” When asked how he occupied his time for the last 81 years, the man replied, “The first forty-five years were the toughest, after that you really stop giving a crap. Speaking of crap, I’m just thankful there was a shaft in there to take care of business. Although, it does make me sad about the guy trapped in the chamber below me. I don’t think he made it long button(1)after all-you-can-eat-taco night.”

I Got Another Letter From Bozell the Clown

Brent Bozell is both a Fox News Contributor and the head of the Media Research Center. Last year, against my better judgment, I joined his merry little band of memes. His website helps the politically insane keep up with all the horrible atrocities liberals are perpetrating on good, decent Americans. You know like smoking pot, drinking beer, and graduating colleges, often simultaneously. Multi-flasking?

American Psychological Association Insists “Torturers Strictly Adhered to All A.P.A. Formatting”

American Psychological Association Insists "Torturers Strictly Adhered to all A.P.A. Formatting"

Washington, DC—Further evidence is mounting that the American Psychological Association (A.P.A) collaborated with the Bush Administration and the C.I.A. to develop enhanced interrogation techniques, which later came to be known as: Operation: We Tortured Some Folks.

The A.P.A. is now on the defensive about their role in torturing people at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, and that Organizational Psychology conference in San Diego. A psychologist who helped develop the Patriotic Torture Program (PTP), James Mitchell, said he is confident that “All torture reports written during that period strictly maintained a high standard of A.P.A. formatting (Johnson, A., Peter, A. (2003), pp. 198–215).”

When asked about the political fallout and consequences to the A.P.A., Mitchell said, “I do not believe the institution’s reputation has been tarnished in any way. We simply expanded the A.P.A.’s rules of professional ethics to include a few carefully selected Gestapo techniques (Wood, A., Dick, A., 2004). Every report handed to me during those cruel and sadistic Bush-era torture sessions were all well written, well referenced, and resulted in zero instances of plagiarism (Penis, A., Thomas, J., et al, 2006). Although I must admit we did borrow some of the techniques themselves from Nazi Germany, The KGB and the movie Fifty Shades of Grey (2015).”

Mitchell defended the techniques in question by showering with his mouth open before hurling himself repeatedly against the shower stall wall. “See? This isn’t so bad? I only chose those few Gestapo techniques that best represented American values.”

Brick and Projectile Stands Popping up Across Baltimore

Brick and Projectile Stands Popping up Across Baltimore

Baltimore, MD—Some savvy Baltimore entrepreneurs are taking advantage of the angry gangs roaming freely through their streets. Debris Stands, as they have come to be called, are now on almost every corner from Rosemont to Westport.

One business owner, Ed Stanko, is selling bricks to rioters from his own burned-out storefront. “I feel like a real American today. I’m helping the police bring the people who torched my business to justice, while also making money by arming the mob to fight the police. Now I know how Dick Cheney must feel.”

When asked if people really stop to pay for projectiles amidst clashes with police, Stanko said, “Some do and some don’t, but so what? I can walk over and pick the stuff back up and resell it. I’m even thinking of expanding to riot gear for police. You know, sometimes when the police are cracking-in skulls the baton gets stuck in the brain bits and, boom, I’m right there making the sale.”

Many Debris Stand owners are concerned that the market is already reaching saturation. “If enough places are reduced to rubble, the depreciation of my own rubble could force me out of business. Until then, I’m doing twofers today on pointy rocks. Hurl one hurl one free. But I might even diversify into T-shirts, you know, like Don’t Shoot the T-shirt’s White or something. I’m still working on that.”
