Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.

[Heidi]

He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "Cheney down there huntin' again?"

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

1. Bravo!

Hail fellow, well met! :applause:

[Heidi]

6. Someone needed to breath new life into the Brazilian joke.

Consider me a human sacrifice. :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Kinda like this?

We need to talk. :evilgrin:

[Heidi]

15. Sort of.

But my buttons are bigger. :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. All five of 'em?

We really need to talk.

[Heidi]

19. Why, Oeditpus Rex, I had no idea

you were a button man. :wow:

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. I like all that sewin' stuff

Buttons, pins, bobbins...



Baste stitching...

[KitchenWitch]

2. Brilliant!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

7. It was bound to happen.

I thought, "Let's just get it over with." :evilgrin:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

3. YES!! EXCELLENT!!

:popcorn: :rofl:

[Heidi]

9. I'd like to thank popcorn, the academy and cold medicine. (nt)

[ghostsofgiants]

4. HAHAHA!!!

If you don't get extra hearts for that, I'm giving up hope in humanity.

[Heidi]

5. No more hearts for me!!!

There are people starving for hearts in suburbia!!!!

[KitchenWitch]

11. Every time I see this applause photo

I think of the film clips in Monty Python with all the old ladys clapping!

[BikeWriter]

8. You've outdone yourself, HeidiDear! :-)

[Heidi]

10. I agree.

I'm taking the rest of the week off to count my nominations for Greatest. :rofl:

[XemaSab]

12. Wow

And we thought it couldn't be done....

Bravo!

K&R

[Heidi]

13. Think I'd be safe

to start weaning myself off of the cold medicine, now that I have this momentous achievement under my belt? :rofl:

[XemaSab]

21. So cold medicine got you where you are

and now you reject it?

How do you think cold medicine would feel about that?

You know what they say, "Behind every powerful revision of the Brazilian joke, is an equally powerful cold medicine."

[Omphaloskepsis]

16. The transition from...

Heidi sent us up the dirty bomb to LMFAO isn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be.

Now, where is my beer?

[Heidi]

18. I feel your lack of pain.

YAY cold medicine. :thumbsup:

[In_The_Wind]

22. That is a totally excellent reporting job ~ Heidi! KUDOS gf!

[Heidi]

23. The truth is out there.

All it takes, sometimes, is a little cold medicine to light the way. :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

24. OMG

BTW ~ Are you still sick?

[Heidi]

25. I'm much better, gf.

Truth be told, I haven't had to take any cold medicine in three days. (I hate taking medicine.:scared: )

:hug: :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

27. That's wonderful news.

I hate taking medicine too. I'm very grateful for the fact that I don't get sick very often.

:loveya:

[Heidi]

28. Me, too.

I'm rarely sick, but when I start feelin' something comin' on, be it cramps, a cold sore or whatever, I usually start self-treatment with herbs, herbal teas or something homeopathic. I'm lucky I don't have to do that very often. :bounce:

:* SMOOCHIN' JOANI! :*

[RevCheesehead]

26. HAhahahahahahaha!!!

:rofl:

Can't.... breathe.....

I Love any version of the brazilian joke! You have outdone yourself.

[Heidi]

35. I've never hated the original brazilian joke.

It's been fun seeing all of the creative ways people work it into DU threads. :rofl:

[Heidi]

36. Kick for the day crew. (nt)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

37. You are my hero!!

[Heidi]

42. Will you start stalking me now?

Or are you just using me to get closer to Call Me Wesley's Photoshop skills? :rofl:

[kick-ass-bob]

43. I am not a stalker.

I just play one on the internets.

:D

[Heidi]

44. Oh.

That's so disappointing such a relief! :P

[Left Is Write]

45. Perfect!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

51. Hi, LIW!

I wanted to tell you that I love the photos you've posted of yourself as a child. You were one of the most perfectly beautiful little girls I've ever seen. :hug: More important, though, you've got a _HUGH!1!_ heart. :pals:

[Left Is Write]

55. Heidi...

Thank you. What an incredibly lovely thing to say! :hug:

[Heidi]

56. I'll tell ya somethin', gf.

I always wanted to be blond haired and blue eyed, but my little sister (11 months and two weeks younger than me) got those beautiful genetic traits. See? :hug:


Kentucky, summer, 1970

[Left Is Write]

72. Growing up in Minnesota, I was surrounded by a sea of blondes...

I always wanted to be exotic looking. I'm happy for and proud of my heritage now, but when I was a little girl, I wished I was Italian.

[bigwillq]

46. I like the new twist!

Good job! :hi:

[Heidi]

49. "Leverage the GOP's stupidity

in the interest of a wider truth." That's my motto. :patriot:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

48. I totally missed the new twist at first!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

50. I re-wrote the original at 6:30 a.m. this morning

as my Valentine's gift to Call Me Wesley. I superimposed the new version over a huge tulips-and-hearts Valentine's Day background, and printed it out high-res, and left it in the bathroom for him, because he's such a _huge_ abuser of the brazilian joke.

And you know what? He didn't even notice the last line was changed until I asked him, "So, do ya _get_ it?" :rofl: :spray:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

59. bwahahaha!

Now THATS a VDay gift! :hug::rofl:

[Heidi]

60. I love him quite a lot

Except when he's snoring. Then I _tolerate_ him with a pure Buddhist heart of love, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. :evilgrin:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

61. awww....

you are so good to him ;)

[Heidi]

62. Well, he's pretty good to me, too.

I mean, what other man is gonna give me _wax lips_ on Valentine's Day? :rofl: (Also, he's making cheeseburgers and spiced fries for dinner. YUM! :bounce: (He's got alotta a$$ to kiss after the snoring and the wax lips. :rofl: )

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

66. maybe hes also the one who gave you all those wonderful hearts

:D

it looks like he has much ass kissing to do! :rofl:

dinner sounds wonderful though:bounce:

[Heidi]

68. Nah, I checked the credit card log and PayPal account.

All of my hearts came from "secret" admirers. :rofl: (He'd better _hope_ he never gives me a bunch of hearts when there are DUers who don't yet even have _one_, cuz that's not the way we operate around here. :thumbsup: )

I'm staaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrving. :cry:

[ghostsofgiants]

63. Best Valentine's gift ever.

[Heidi]

64. Hook up with a woman like me, primate1,

and you'll be incontinent every Valentine's Day for the rest of your life. :rofl: :spray:

[ghostsofgiants]

65. I can only hope, haha.

But you're one of a kind, Heidi. One of a kind.

[Heidi]

67. One of a kind = "They broke the mold when they made you."

May I refer to you the appropriate thread for such Valentine's Day sentiment? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4745050


:rofl: :spray:

[ghostsofgiants]

70. ...

x( (Perhaps THIS is why I'm single, haha.)

[Heidi]

71. It's OK:

I married one _just_ like ya. That's why I got wax lips for Valentine's Day instead of chocolate and roses. :rofl: :spray:

[crispini]

52. Good job!

:thumbsup: :applause:

[Heidi]

53. Hiya, Crisipini!

All props go to the cold medicine lingering in my system and to the foul vice-presidential fowl hunter who gave me such great material to work with. :evilgrin:

How's your Valentine's Day (which is just another day here) going? :hi:

[crispini]

74. Better now that I have had lunch.

I like lunch. No, I :loveya: love lunch! :D

[Wapsie B]

54. Good job!

:thumbsup:

[philosophie_en_rose]

57. LMAO!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

58. Good!

We _should_ laugh at their stupidity. :thumbsup:

[LSK]

69. wow, i never knew how it ended, thanks!

:hi:

[Heidi]

76. And now you know
