I’m paraphrasing here, but the gist is the same: RUMOR: Bob Costas to argue at future Cowboys/Redskins games that any takeaway by the Cowboys is illegitimate and that ball needs be returned to its rightful owners.
This of course was a joke. Whereas this? This isn’t.
Which makes it a punchline all its own.
(h/t Darleen, who asks if there is anything more humorless than a leftist? And the answer is yes, there is. A dead leftist. But that’s just because of a technicality)
Students Teaching About Racism in Society, or STARS
This offends me greatly. I like stars! Leave your PC crap out of my astronomy!!!
Leftists are chock full of humor. Leftists are so easily mocked, derided and generally made fun of.
Wait, what, not that kind of humor? Oh, nevermindthen, carryon.
How about Folks United Cause Kindness Youth Outreach University?

I must disagree, Sir! At least with a dead Lefty, you can position them in funny poses.
Mondamay…
They are stars
They are golden
They are billion year old [life-killing] carbon
And they’ve got to get themselves back to The Garden.
To which, in imitation of Dean Gonzalez, the UCBoulder kids should dress up as giant penises, or Dicks, in the colloquial.
I was informed on Pinterest that an Indian Maiden costume (fringed buckskin, beads, feathers) is a racist stereotype because it’s not possible to dress as an Indian because Native Americans aren’t cartoons, they’re a vibrant people.
Joined by another scold who asserted that dressing like any minority is racist: kimono, hip-hop, etc.
Which, I doubt they’d object to dirndl and lederhosen as costumes even though that’s STEREOTYPICAL GERMAN DRESS, which the Germans wear for Oktoberfest, unlike the Sioux and Cheyenne and Apache, who go to their pow-wows dressed in tuxes and evening gowns.
Also, in that thread about the Indian maiden costume, one girl who self-identified as Native American and who said she thought the costumes were cool, they being more homage than anything.
The scolds used a royal “we” for their objections; the unbothered one used “I.”
Telling, that.

Happy to be of service Bob. And speaking of interesting utility links, this Lightbeam thinger might be a keeper: we’ll see.
Very interesting. I’ll have to try it.
Chicks on the right commented on the costume thing too. Link. Scroll down there are some parodies.
NOBODY’S SAYING IT IS, ASSHOLES! GET OVER YOURSELVES!

A: THAT’S NOT FUNNY!!!
Did someone say Oktoberfest?
Sometimes you see a Tweet that flat-out resonates.
Halloween has become a salacious drunkard’s holiday with the kids being a secondary concern now, so the proper sort of male costume would something like a deep sea diver with a comically enormous hard-on bulging his suit. It’s both tacky-gross and provides anonymity. And your lady friend can dress up as a sexy pirate mermaid who is sctantily touching the huge fake boner. Or if politically conscious, as Ted Cruz. Because accusing him of being a homosexual in an insulting manner is somehow okay and not offensive if the intent is to hurt him. Because Leftism…
Your lady friend dressed as Ted Cruz can massage the fake boner and say “Hey Sailor let me shut that down for ya!” or “We want to increase the amount of off shore deep sea drilling IYKWIMAITYD” and if you can work in some “Mexican music” in somehow then so much the better. Because the left can call someone a homosexual like it’s a bad thing or even use the word fag or do racist/ethnic dog whistles with utter impunity when it slurs someone not on the left. I guess it’s because they have such a history of good conduct in those areas…

The Shinobi were typically recruited from clans not thought of as ethnic Japanese but more as conquered tenants/helots. They were supposed to have descended from a demon who resembled a minotaur which might even make them inhuman. This was a big part of why they were used as expendable “unseen” special forces mercenaries provided to the feuding Daimyos in exchange for some measure of peasant autonomy and leniency on the land they occupied.
– Denken Sie daran, Regel Nummer eins Herr Slart….Wait until they’ve had at least two mugs full before you make a move.
Calling republicans and NRA people the KKK is fine though. Calling Zimmerman a creepy cracker was fine too. It just is. didn’t your parents explain to you how the world works? When WE are offended it’s a big deal and you need to stop and we need to try to get you fired or sued.. When YOU are offended it’s effin’ funny as hell.
You can have this sort of problem if you make the top of your ghost costume too pointy.
But bgbear, what could possibly be wrong with dressing for Halloween as a Democrat?
