Hey DUmmies! If you want the honor of having your thread DUFUed, then be really creative in your titles. The main reason why this THREAD was DUFUed was its title, ""Mr President, do know how many people lived on ramen noodles to get you elected?" No matter how many times I read it, I never fail to chuckle. In fact, the rest of the thread is pretty much anticlimactic although the personal woes posted by the author, DUmmie thunder rising, is also quite FUnnie. This thread has even inspired a new DUmmie description on my part: Ramen Noodle DUmmies. Ramen Noodle DUmmies are DUmmies who placed complete faith in their savior, Barack Obama, yet despite great personal sacrifice now have NOTHING to show for it. So let us now watch the Ramen Noodle DUmmies recount their disappointment in The One in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who just checked in the back of a kitchen cabinet and found Lime Shrimp Ramen Noodles, is in the [barackets]:
Mr President, do know how many people lived on ramen noodles to get you elected?
[LOL! One of the FUnnies DUmmie thread titles ever!]
How many gave up savings? How many people gave up entertainment? How many people sensing the collapse of our financial system literally threw you forward like a Hail Mary pass in hopes that you would act in our best interest; you know, the *people* people of the United States?
[I gave up living on raw carrots to eat nothing but Ramen Noodles. Such was the sacrifice I made for our Beloved Barack.]
I'm now unemployed, uninsured, and foreclosed. All of these issues were addressed in your campaign promises. Do you think we as a group of evermore impoverished plain Americans we can preserver as long as the Democratic Asshole Senators can delay? The proof is in: 122 less voters will be available by tomorrow; 4K by the next election.
[Maybe you should have been one of those who lined up in Detroit to get yourself a share of Obama's stash.]
And I know that in the Democratic political strategist minds they are thinking; you're broke, so you really don't count anymore.
[Would it make you feel better to cry into my bowl of Lime Shrimp Ramen Noodles?]
My employment prospects were sent to India and/or simply filled on site with an H1-B. Do you think we could get some relief on that. At least let us know that you're interested in the plight of the plain everyday Americans that sent those small donations?
[Good news! Ramen Noodles are widely available in India as long as they aren't beef flavored.]
Do you think the younger voters that were *so* hyped up about your election are still excited? I was once 18-25 yrs old and I can tell you they are seeing the same old politics of getting served scraps justified with more intellectual arguments. Yes, the crowds love to cheer you--you being a charismatic speaker can work a crowd. However, that glow isn't lasting nearly as long as it used to. There is no "force multiplier". Nobody is going out registering voters or calling their friends. The party is in fact in decline and it's your watch.
[Obama's Ramen Noodle has gone limp.]
The time is at hand ... we need you to work for us now.
[Obama will work to make sure your Ramen Noodles don't have too much MSG.]
(Sry folks, I love that President, but I'm getting frustrated)
[Thus concludes the Ramen Noodle soliloquy. And now on to the rest of the DUmmies...]
he's a millionaire, YOU are not. His friends are from Goldman Sachs. Yours? He has accomplished some good things in his term. But now that he is an insider and no longer a challenger...well things change don't they?
[The big change is that Obama gets arugula as a side with his Ramen Noodles. ]
Can I get in here and take my crap on him, too?
[Did you eat too many Ramen Noodles?]
Since 11/25/08, when I first voiced my "concerns" about the Geithner appointment and got flamed for it here on DU, I have said that we the people were being ignored, and they the bankers were getting all the attention.
[Geithner. The only Episcopalian born in Brooklyn in over 70 years. Hmmmm?]
The U.S. has ONE president.
[The One.]
On a positive note, in New Orleans he said he's just getting started. Keep hope alive!
[Keep Ramen Noodles warmed up!]
I am beginning to think that for the next four years all they are doing is shilling for votes. and going to the wrong side looking for them. the DC beltway crowd is out of touch.
[Do they serve Ramen Noodles inside the Beltway?]
The problem is that he did not recruit us. A nation of followers lost their leader the day after the election.
[ACORN will trade a bowl of Ramen Noodles for your vote.]
I know MY life went flaming into the crapper right after McCain lost.
[And how many Ramen Noodles flew into that crapper?]
Millions are frustrated. You are not alone and the question remains, "WHERE ARE THE JOBS GOING TO COME FROM??"
[A more important question remains, "WHERE ARE THE RAMEN NOODLES GOING TO COME FROM??"]
My Lime Shrimp Ramen Noodles have been sitting in my kitchen cabinet for over a year. I bought them at like 10 for a buck. I tried a couple. A little on the acidic side but passable in case of an emergency.
Up until a few years ago you could still get a fried bologna sandwich here at the local grocer. I might bring that back.
For me, Ramen Noodles are like hurricane emergency food. Fortunately, I did not have to eat them during our last hurricane here-—Wilma in 2005. The first evening, I got HOT PIZZA from a local Italian restaurant. I went there to buy food but the guy was great and was giving it out. The next day, I found a nearby Chinese restaurant that had gas stoves and served up hot food. Also found a bar where they served barbeque food. Then the nearby Denny’s opened up for business and I didn’t have to eat those Ramen Noodles. The only ones I tried were the Lime Shrimp Ramen Noodles that I still have and I only ate a couple of those out of curiosity. I mean do you even know what Lime Shrimp Ramen Noodles even taste like?
That’s a classic just for the title. I haven’t even looked at the thread yet.
They get hired where I am.
“I lived on Ramen Noodles for a year and all I got was this lousy Obama T-shirt.”
We were at my wife’s alma mater today for reunion and other stuff. One building we went to on campus was the very nice libary. On the way out I noticed this one fellow with a laptop with stickers. One said “be a smartass, vote democrat”. I wonder how much his folks fork out for him to go to this rather pricey private college? How long will he be living in their basement when he wraps it up there?
Slurp!
They must be really bummed out. Their usual profanity is very subdued.
Either that or they can’t afford enough booze to fuel their usual rummy, bleary eyed, incoherent postings.
No matter. It’s still funny.
Almost too funny!!!
blech. I do not like seafood. I might get a fish sandwich from a fast food place or force down a tuna and mayo sandwich but thats about it.
Ramen Noodles powder shrimp can’t be better than the real thing that I hate.
The Walgreens black cherry soda is especially goood.
Made with sugar - not corn syrup.
Ramens were 20 per a buck last time I shopped....
and now to be subsidized by the US govt
Our libraries have card swipes on the putters
So this person admits that he is over 25 and still lived on ramen noodles so that another person could realize his dreams of becoming president??? The only reason to live on ramen noodles is to realize your own dreams. And frankly, no one over the age of 22 should live on ramen noodles for any reason.
Thank you for the tip, I drink mexican cola because they use real sugar.
All those Democrats putting all that salt into their bodies is cause for hope.
Maybe this person will learn a life lesson, quit waiting for someone else to fix your life. Imagine what they could have done if they put all that energy, emotion, and money into bettering themselves instead of enriching politicians. Will they finally wake up? Naaa.. these are still DUmbasses.... always waiting for someone else to fix things...
mee too
