August Stundie nominations

[Travis]

We are approaching the end of the hottest part of Summer. Or the coldest part of Winter for those with terrestrial hemispheric transposition syndrome. So it's time for a new round of Stundie nominations.

What is a Stundie? It's a humorous statement that is very wrong. Usually these are related to conspiracy theories but lately we've branched out into general science and logic. Keep them short and sweet if you can.

So go get them and don't forget to provide a link.

Link to post on the, urrr, 'illigitimacy' of government.

THE WORLD TRADE CENTER was built and designed to withstand the impact of a jumbo jet. That includes the Boeing models 747,757,767,777.

Amazing, considering the planes he claims were included in the design calcs, didn't exist......

 

[TJM]

Good stuff here:

You said U of Cal...not Stanford how am I suppose to know what you meant?

 

[Travis]

I'm going to need context for that last one.

Hmmm...I'm just popping next door to ask our bridge designers which specific models of cars and trucks they design for.

Can't be too careful.

 

[Travis]

Well they clearly need to design it for the Xioniac 4300*32 hover-sedan. When it's built in 2158 it could be trouble if the antimatter engine loses it's magnetic stabilizers.

Those far rights and their bloodlust for balanced budgets:

It was never about jobs. It is about the far rights distinct hatred of civilized society and their bloodlust to end it utterly. They've deluded themselves into thinking that when everything collapses they can reform society with themselves as unquestioned tyrants.

Architect Les Young:

“I would not have expected the whole building to just give in at once. And I thought it rather odd that they fell almost perfectly – in very similar ways. It seemed odd that lightning would strike twice.”

Because the fact that two identical building which were hit almost identical way would collapse in a very similar way is so odd.

Those far rights and their bloodlust for balanced budgets:

Why is that a Stundie nom?

Since the right has never done anything for a balanced budget, why would you say they have a bloodlust for one? The last time the right controlled both houses and the presidency I didn't see a balanced budget or any realistic attempt at one.

Yep, but perhaps something to talk about over in that thread.

 

[NoahFence]

Yikes.
Can you stundie someone for trying to stundie someone else on something that was clearly not a stundie, even if given to the person who runs the stundies?


Marvin Bush must have been involved.....

I'm fighting the urge to nominate this as a Stundie, but we might end up with an infinite Stundie regression.

[Horatius]

Back to the real noms....

Well show me if the experts of america read the nist report. How big is the chance all the possible experts of america are interested to read the NIST reports

Yes, it's completely unreasonable to think that the relevant experts might have been interested in the reports on the most significant building collapses in history....

An UnStundie?

 

[TSR]

Anti/dis-estundietarianism.

 

[grandmastershek]

TMD...a new gold mine of stundies.

You guys amaze me...look at 90% of what is here all simply "twoofers dumb twoofers can't be right" and I'm the one suffering from what ever the hell you want to call that?

 

[Travis]

One of these days I'm gonna slip something I've said elsewhere on the forums into the finals just to see if anyone notices. So watch out.

Conspiracy theory, stupid remark, fits perfectly.

I don't think it's a winner, given the astounding quality of the output we see from other contributors, but worth nominating.

I think you missed the point.

 

[Travis]

I think it's a bad idea to start seeing these value judgements as something to nominate. Unless you want to see a flood of people from both sides of the political spectrum doing so.

I, for one, don't want to have read through a hundred nominations of BAC or JudeBrando saying something about Leftists.
