Video: Obama falls in love

By GottaLaff

Sigh. I love a good love story. I also like a good like story, but, like, that's another story.

Ellen said...: Now I am in Love.... brought tears to my eyes; August 19, 2008 8:42 PM
Clancy said...: What kind of elitist goes to an art museum for a date?; August 19, 2008 8:57 PM
GottaLaff said...: CPants, you read my mind. I knew someone would say that, and pretty much thought it would be you. : )

And some troll, but first you.; August 19, 2008 9:10 PM
Clancy said...: I took Mrs. C (before she was Mrs. C) to art museums on dates. I lived in a great art city . . . and was broke.; August 19, 2008 9:14 PM
GottaLaff said...: My favorite art museum: the Pompidou.; August 19, 2008 9:17 PM
Adrienne said...: "McCain is a combination of a less refined Bush and Ronald Reagan all in one creepy package, my friends."

I said that earlier this afternoon and Bill Maher just said the exact same thing on Larry King.

No shit. McCain IS a mix of Bush and Reagan.; August 19, 2008 9:20 PM
Adrienne said...: I actually made the Bush/Reagan comment at 5:41pm.

Also, in part of Bill's movie he plays the Doobie Brother's song that goes..."Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah..." I told you guys the other night after the Fake Faith Forum that I couldn't get that song out of my head. Funny.; August 19, 2008 9:27 PM
GottaLaff said...: Ady, you're prescient! Or psychic. Or psychotic.

I can't decide.; August 19, 2008 9:29 PM
chris said...: See, that's one other thing I did wrong. I married a being who took me to comic book shows instead of art museums...; August 19, 2008 9:31 PM
GottaLaff said...: I married a comic book character, so I guess we're even.

Actually, that's not true. I'M the comic book character. He's pretty normal.; August 19, 2008 9:33 PM
Adrienne said...: Probably psychotic...but I seriously see that in McCain. He tries laughing his way out of everything b/c it worked so well with Reagan.

(I hope a little bit that my ex-hubby gets some "rain" from that tropical storm hitting FL b/c I'm evil. McCain should defeat me).; August 19, 2008 9:36 PM
Adrienne said...: Maher is pretty negative about Obama now and said the party "needs" Hillary Clinton right now.; August 19, 2008 9:43 PM
GottaLaff said...: Are you kidding me? I'm DVRing THAT?; August 19, 2008 9:46 PM
eve said...: Maher is great. Crazy and funny and smart. I would take his advice on almost nothing.

Barack and Michelle have such a good story.

I do love my Adam, but if he wasn't around I'd want a Barack or a Clancy or maybe a Biden.

Clancy said...: Chris, I'm sure your guy would back me up on this: comics, erm, 'graphic novels' rather, are art.; August 19, 2008 10:05 PM
GottaLaff said...: CPants, I would back you up too. I'm a cartoonist, as you've seen ("Madonna"). And believe me, it ain't easy.

Evers, they do have a good story. And it seems genuine. How refreshing.; August 19, 2008 10:08 PM
chris said...: He's not my guy, Clancy, and never would have been if I'd have realized that wandering around alone at a comic book show was a preview of things to come (hell, he packed a bag full of books - erm - graphic novels - for the honeymoon!) ...which is how I came to raise three kids on my own. They, at least, turned out better than the marriage did. Next time (the dream goes on) I'm holding out for a museum!; August 19, 2008 10:17 PM
Paddy said...: Oh fuck you happy sappy lovey dovey fuckerty fucks.

NOW I feel better!!!; August 19, 2008 10:18 PM
GottaLaff said...: Have yourself a drinky, Padlock.

Clancy said...: Well, Chris, his priorities were clearly out of whack(sp?). I know some people like that. I've a friend of a friend who has these little (D&D?) figurines all over his house. He calls them something else, but I love calling them figurines to piss him off when I went there to play cards. I would also frequently suggest that the figurines--and the six glass cases he had to display them--might be why he was having a hard time meeting women.

I never had the patience for comics myself, mostly hated the serialization of the story and the lack of compelling/realistic characters. Some of the stuff that started coming out of England in the 80s is great . . . but I didn't know about it until the late 90s. By then, I was already cold to it.; August 19, 2008 10:41 PM
GottaLaff said...: You sayin' you hate Madonna? I'll kick your ass! ; ); August 19, 2008 10:43 PM
eve said...: Chris, I had a "should have known" moment with the first husband. It was during the wedding when he and the minister both got twisted up on the "repeat after me" part. Said groom paused and said "Would you repeat the question?"

I still think it's funny.; August 19, 2008 10:44 PM
GottaLaff said...: LOL!! Omg, Evers, that's insane!

I should have known with Mr. Laffy #1 when his parents literally held him up and dragged him down the aisle (it was subtler than that, but not much).

What a dumbass I was. What a disaster of a marriage it was. Mr. Laffy #2 is the exact opposite. He's the bestest.; August 19, 2008 10:50 PM
chris said...: It is funny, Eve. I like that story :); August 19, 2008 10:53 PM
eve said...: We should all have to take a dumbass test before being allowed to pick a mate.; August 19, 2008 10:55 PM
GottaLaff said...: I did. Apparently I passed. Next time I'll cheat and answer everything wrong.

I wised up quickly though. I did awfully well, in fact. : ); August 19, 2008 10:56 PM
chris said...: The limo had a TV & it was Sat morning & he asked me to trade places with the best man so they could watch Spiderman on the way to the reception.
These are stories that newly engaged women are not told...; August 19, 2008 10:57 PM
GottaLaff said...: Chris, that's bad. That's not good at all. That's bad.; August 19, 2008 10:58 PM
Adrienne said...: LOL, Chris. I knew my first marriage was wrong b/c I had this weird out of body experience during the wedding. I felt like I was floating above everything watching myself doing something I knew was so wrong and so horrible that I stayed just to see how bad BAD could be. I couldn't leave. It was like my shoes were nailed to the floor. (Yes, I know I should've taken them off).

My second wedding was the funniest thing ever. My husband never really did say, "Until death do us part." Whatever he said wasn't even close,so I looked down b/c I knew I was gonna start laughing and not be able to stop. For some reason, I glanced at my husband's best man who was looking at his feet, laughing hysterically in total silence, and I lost it. I burst out laughing and I laughed until it was all over. The video is a hoot.; August 19, 2008 11:49 PM
CG said...: I don't think the art museum is elite. Good grief, it's free! So is a walk down Michigan. Where have you been? Some of those things are so nice. Awesome lectures, that you get to discuss together, coffee houses and poetry readings, back street jazz concerts...all free, and all nice. Plus, why does a person have to drink beer and ride in expensive cars just to look cool? Like she said, he was a cute nerd...not an elitist.; August 20, 2008 9:04 AM
GottaLaff said...: CG, "elite" was said tongue in cheek.; August 20, 2008 11:32 AM
