Nuke the Punchline - Protective Pastry

Harvey over at IMAO has posted a new straight line of the day, so it is time to choose the winners of the last one:

The Obama Administration Wants to Change School Lunch Programs to Include…



#5 Apostic: at the suggestion of the First Lady, gagh.
[btw, Apostic, before my oven was...destroyed *sigh* I tried the wonderful Macadamia Nut and Coconut cookies you suggested. Wow. Amazing! When I finally get a new oven, I can't wait to try a few more variations....YUM!!!]

#4 D***cat: a promise of something expensive to be determined at a later date by the School Lunch Czar and to be delivered by the next administration. Unless it’s a Democrat administration in which case the thing promised will not be delivered because of Republican obstructionism.

#3 Dohtimes : …more of the same, which can best be described from everything the First Lady has ever said, as tripe.

#2 nabqrules something, but we have to eat it before we find out what’s in it.

And my favorite straight line of the day was from Oppo

The Obama Administration Wants to Change School Lunch Programs to Include…Pop Tarts nibbled into the shape of a rape whistle.

Note: Kiss up cookies to Iowa Jim, Oppo, Burt and Bob in Feenicks for their references to cookies, coup-kies and uncookies which all made me smile....and also made me a bit hungry.  :)

Cookies to Oppo
 Iowa Jim, Burt and Bob in Feenicks!

I'm still out an oven, so if you're wondering where these wonderful cookies came from...

So...I'm still here. If any of you happen to have a spare oven lying around...oh...and the keys to my dungeon door....that'd be awesome. :)  I'd also love some visitors...and maybe a few more...well...interim cookies... :P

My favorite NP punchlines:



Anonymiss's brilliant scheme to escape from her ovenless dungeon...

(has not yet been enacted...
but that's beside the point...)

#3 FredKey :....consists of one word:

CHOCOLATE

[that should SO work!]

#2 Dohtimes:...does not include listening to Frank Zappa's song, The Torture Never Stops as a way to get Keln to feel sorry for her plight because it would really just cheer him up.  

[ok, I won't. That sounds like Keln :) ]

My favorite line was from Bob in Feenicks:

Anonymiss's brilliant scheme to escape from her ovenless dungeon...lighting a grail-shaped beacon.    

[Step 1: I just need to find a beacon.
Step 2: Make sure it's grail-shaped.
Step 3: Light it...somehow...
Hmmm. I seem to be a little short on resources.
...Maybe I should just ask for a shrubbery 
and then prune it into the shape: "S O S"...  :)]

Cookies to Bob in Feenicks!
