An Algonquin Cocktail and the POP NO PIP Awards
60Boo!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, September 21, 2010. Once again it is time for the PIP-POP awards. I am sorry to inform all of you that today's presentation will be all POPS and nary a PIP. I suppose we have to accept that sort of thing from time to time. Let's prepare our traditional and much anticipated liquid breakfast. Today we will be mixing up an Algonquin Cocktail. You will need 1 and 1/2 ounces of rye whiskey, 3/4 ounce dry vermouth and 3/4 ounce of breakfast delicious pineapple juice. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass. Put on your best duds, head to the theater and please, whatever you do, don't spill the cocktail!
Welcome one and all to the 5th weekly presentation of the coveted PIP-POP Awards. Let us welcome (sort of) to the stage a spokesman for the National Park Service. Welcome sir. it has come to our attention that a member of the press appeared on one of the beaches in the Gulf region with a little shovel. It was his intention to dig in the sand for a bit. A person in your employ came up to him and rather rudely asked him to cease and desist. Apparently, no one with the exception of BP can dig in the sand. Even BP can't dig farther than 6 inches down. I guess the federal government doesn't want American citizens to see all the oil that is buried there. Just how long do you plan on covering up this disaster? How long? Here's your POP. Bring it back to your boss and tell him or her, thanks for nothing.
Our second "winner" of this morning's festivities is the ever aggravating Bill Maher. Mr. Maher, this time you have really outdone yourself. You have suggested that perhaps President Obama's current problems stem from the fact that he is only "half black". Apparently, you believe that he'd be a better president if he was "fully black" because there is a white man in him holding him back. The result is that every single thing he does is "half-assed". One could say the same thing about you. You'd be a better comedian if only you were funny. The very unfunny angry guy within you is holding you back. Do you agree? Of course not, you never agree with anyone, do you? Here's your POP. It's time for you to take your seat.
Our third "winner" of the morning is President Obama. Unfortunately, he is not with us this morning because he had a pressing golf game to attend. In his stead, please welcome (if you can) Robert Gibbs. This POP is being presented to POTUS for being incapable of giving his school speech to the children without his ever present teleprompter. What is he so afraid of? Shouldn't he be setting an example for the nation's school children that he is capable of speaking directly to an audience without reading his words? NO? Okay then. Here's his POP. Just add it to his collection.
Our fourth "winner" this morning is the very liberal, liberal commentator Alan Colmes. The committee was completely underwhelmed by the level of sensitivity you have shown to the victims of 9/11, their families and the nation. Apparently, you don't think it's a good idea to make "such a big deal" every year about 9/11. Are you bored with the ceremonies? Are you sympathetic to the Muslim terrorists who slaughtered thousands of our people? Frankly, I don't care what you think and I would like you to sit down right now. Don't forget your POP.
Our last "winner" of the morning is the every bubbly Harry Reid. I tell you Harry, the nation got a real kick out of watching you and your staff arrive at a Clean Energy Summit in a fleet of gas guzzling SUVS. All you had to do was walk a few hundred yards to attend this meeting, but no you had to drive up and further add to this mess we call the environment. Have you ever heard the expression "common sense"? I suppose not. Well, please accept this POP because you have certainly worked hard for it.
Well, my friends, another PIP-POP Award ceremony has come to an end. Sorry there were no PIPS today, but I won't give up looking. Until then, please, let's raise our lovely cocktails on high and thank the " winners" for giving us a reason to drink!
NO PIP PIP HOORAY TODAY
POP GOES THE WEASELS...POP
Pop,
Another outstanding group of "winners" today. As for Bill Maher I watched him as actor on a "Murder She Wrote" rerun, and he was a hack as actor just like his lack of comedic skills.
As for President Obama I address his lacking ability in my latesest hub this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pop - What a sad week when we can't find a PIP winner! The POPs as usual are deserving in triplicate! We'll have to have a Beer and Tequila 'Boiler Room' think session tonight, I'm buying! See ya there!
Dusty Bring the Beans!
Good morning Sheri,
These idiots just make me want to head for the bar at 8 in the morning! Come later, I'll be waiting.
Good morning Tom,
I am heading over to your hub in a few minutes. See you at the bar later. I think I fell asleep last night in the middle of the contest. Who won?
Good morning Hmr,
I'm sorry I couldn't conjure up a PIP but don't despair, I'll keep looking. By the way did you win the contest last night. I fell asleep at the bar?
POP - I think I won with the final tie breaker with Dusty, I did "She sells sea shells by the sea shore", 40 times without error but everyone was already passed out so I'm not sure...
Great awards ceremony. i am not surprised there were no PIPs today. As a matter of fact, I am surprised when there are any! As for digging on the beach, I, for one, am not shocked that you can't dig on the beaches. Where do you think all that oil went? If you dig down more than 6 inches, you could have a gusher! And to call Bill Maher a comedian insults the great dcomic minds of our time. The less said about Obumma, the better. I think we should all see if we can find someone noteworthy for a PIP next week. Things an't be all this bad. Or can they? Let's discuss at the bar. Artificially flavored elk jerky is on the menu today!!! BARTENDER...............
Hmrjmr - The last thing I heard before I passed out was "She Shaw, She Shaw." Doesn't count.
Dear Hmrjmr,
Okay then, but did you do Wong's Wrong.....as well? OH, who cares, you're the winner. Free drinks for the entire month of October. Congratulations!
Dear taxlarry,
I am pleasantly surprised to hear you suggest that there must be a PIP out there somewhere. That's very upbeat of you. I don't think I care for the elk jerky thing. I'm in the mood for nachos, since I already have heartburn!
BPOP, It is a sad day when you could give dozens of POP awards but nary a PIP. I can not understand how Maher is even on TV or the radio, or anywhere human beings live. What an idiot! The POP all went to worthy recipients. I think BO could be green and it wouldn't help. Harry Reid has his mind on pushing the immigration bill through the Senate so he can get re-elected, he certainly can't be bothered with walking a few steps.
I'll look forward to the evening festivities but will probably need a ride home or a Taxi as I have never had Beer and Tequila 'Boiler Room' together and it will probably knock me on my ass. Oops, sorry.
Pop, the awards are disheartening to say the least, but none are surprising. Will sand castles be forever forbidden on the beach?
I'll succeed to Hammer for the free drinks 'cuz I was too remember how drunk is am, More, hammer beans are one the way, 50
Good morning Pamela,
Let's hope for a PIP next week. If you come across one let me know. I'll share the taxi with you as I plan on getting to the bar early, very, very early.
Good morning 50,
I am sorry to say no more sand castles on the beach. We will be able to build gas stations, though. See you later at the bar. Hmr wins the contest because no one can remember who won!
Bill Maher, what a miserable ugly angry little person! Every time I see him on tv, he is saying something very stupid, you can easily award him every week! The same goes to Obama, but hopefully we are not going to see much of him in two years. Totally shocking discovery about the Gulf beach, and make me wonder is it actully safe to eat fish and seafood which they already started to catch in the region?? As usual, great ceremony POP!
POP: A great group of weasels for the award ceremony today.I think a special PIP should go to Hmrjmr for winning our tongue twister contest last night; however, everyone was passed out so he and 50 battled it out. 50 should get a second place prize of half a month of free drinks for his effort.
I'm on my way to the bar. I'll drink Snake Bites tonight; nothing better than Tequila, lemon and salt.
Save me a seat....
Dear Wanderlust,
Maher is a twerp that is for sure. What I am not sure about is the safety of the seafood. My gut tells me not to believe it is safe. Obviously, the government is trying to cover up the problem with the beaches, why not the seafood? See you at the bar.
Dear taxlarry,
Te last thing I saw before I passed out was you passing out!
Dear Pino,
Since no one knows what really happened last night I agree, let's give 50 half a month of free drinks. Snake Bites? I thought you were a Pino Grigio drinker. You are full of surprises, first the burqa dance and now snake bites.
Good stuff as always. Thank you.
Harry Reid & common sense??? The two do not even have a nodding acquaintance. Here's hoping that come November 2nd, Mr. Reid will join the unemployment lines.
POP: Does that make me multi-cultural?
Dear Ken,
I hope Harry finds himself unemployed after November, but frankly I'm not so jazzed about his opponent. He just might win. Let's hope not. See you later at the Inn.
Dear Pino,
It might also mean you have a split personality!
Dear Pino,
By the way, where's Scotty? He hasn't been around, unless he's doing that invisible thing he enjoys.
Pop
What a bunch of Weasels indeed! Sorry but I don’t share your outrage at BP coupled with your apparent support of the member of the press that mysteriously appeared on one of the beaches in the Gulf region with his little shovel. As far as I’m concerned the Park Ranger should have shoved his shovel up his rectum but in order to do that he would have had to first remove the member of the Press’ head so there would have been room for the shovel. The way the press covered this and every other event leaves me with nothing but disdain for that August Body Known as the Press!
Now we are in total agreement once again; Bill Maher is indeed aggravating but I would go a bit farther; he’s down right obnoxious! You did however hit the nail right on the head when you said Maher’s problems stem from the fact that he is only half-assed; as far as his comedic ability I wouldn’t give him more than a quarter of an ass!
Fore; playing through. Robert Gibbs has once again been given the job of designated liar. The only thing I have to say here is America is better off with him on the golf course; he should take Gibbs along to caddy for him. Maybe Pelosi, Reid and Biden could round out the foursome! The only problem then would be to find an honest one amongst them to keep score!
The best item I can offer here is something I once heard from a caller when Alan Colmes HAD A RADIO SHOW. The Caller told Colmes to stick his face in some cookie dough and make Jackass Cookies; appropriate then; appropriate now!
Reid had the SUV rented for the day; he planned on using it to scout the country side for his new residence once he is thrown out of the senate and Arizona. Perhaps he’ll stop by and pick up Pelosi so they can tour together! The only green you’ll notice as these two drive by is the green with envy expressions they will have on their faces for their replacements!
A WEASEL by any other name is still a democrat!
Great ceremony, better drink! I sure was hoping for some Pips today, everything is seeming rather dismal. I feel like the 3 stooges could do a better job than Totus, Reid and Pelosi (speaking of whom, didn't she do anything idiotic to "win" this week? She's losing her game if not).
Good morning Patriot,
I always thought Alan Colmes looked like cookie dough! I am already sick of these weasels. I say let's head to the bar and forget all about them. See you later.
Good morning rkhyclak,
I'll try to did up a PIP or two for next week. As for Pelosi she is eligible for a POP every week but sometimes I just need a break from her. Come to the bar later and let's try to pick up our mood a bit, my treat.
POP: I think I'm becoming an AmeriMidEaMex. Scotty is with me. We've been working on my new show. He's quite a choreographer.
Dear Pino,
That sounds like another great tongue twister! Keep Scotty with you for a few days. I don't feel like cooking for him! See you later and of course, bring the Observer.
POP, where to begin? Being somewhat of a conspirator, I read that they bleached the sands so ppl would continue to vacation without seeing any oil. Maher has always wanted to be black. Colmes is not only bored with the 9/11 ceremonies, but still believes the US blew up it's own building. Harry Reid lied about the Dream Act, I read today that there are a few nasty little clauses, one is that bill would confer benefits on applicants up to age 35 and the House bill contains no age ceiling at all. The academic achievement requirements are minimal. Illegal's who didn't come to this country until they turned 15, would be eligible for the Dream Act benefits and eventual US citizenship. They are scouring for votes, legal or illegal. Then off to vacation Washington goes, 3 weeks early, and we pay these people!
Dear jiberish,
Reid is a weasel big time and the rest of them make me sick. I don't ever remember a time in my lifetime politically speaking as horrible as this. I am so afraid for our future. People are incredibly blind and by the time their vision clears it may be too late. See you at the bar. We all need to chill.
Morning POP...Another outstanding POP awards ceremony...All richly deserved...
Tequila shooters !! Now, that is some serious swigging...They will certainly cover up the taste of taxlarry's elk-flavored jerky...If Dusty is bringing his beans I'm bringing my WW1 gas mask...Going to be a rootin' tootin' night at the old tavern tonight...Larry
This was hilarious, thank you for starting my day with a big laugh....thank you so much Pop. I have a hard time understanding who the people are that watch Bill Maher, he is so aweful and bitter. You pinned all of those "pinheads" to a tea - cheers Pops!
The only one who deserves a PIP is you, dear POP! Thank you for the ceremony. Have you heared that the recession is over? That big accomplishment can't be ignored, so please give it a double POP
Well, if drinking and the PIP POP awards go hand in hand, then there is simply no end to the available news to support the awards. Let's drink to that for now, and drink to not having to drink so much after November?
Dear maven.
I am really in the mood to have a good time and blow off some steam. By any chance do you have an extra gas mask? I love Dusty, but beans...too much for me. See you later.
Dear Whidbeywriter,
I think the only people who actually watch Maher are related to him and also he forces them to watch! See you at the bar. We should have a fantastic time.
Dear Petra,
I did hear that the recession is over and I am so relieved. Everything is coming up roses. Why did they wait do long to share the news? Will wonders never cease. See you at the bar. Let's try and relax a bit.
Dear pcoach,
I can't make promises I may not be able to keep. If November goes as we hope, I am going to want to celebrate. See you later at the bar.
Hey there breakfastpop. What a lovely ceremony today. I am in a great mood because of the announcement that the recession is over. I am ready to meet you and the rest of the gang at the bar. I'm so happy that I'm even up to eating beans and crazy jerky. I hope I don't end up making people leave the bar with this gaseous menu, but hey, heres to things going so great! Cheers
Dear Minnetonka Twin,
I too am so relieved to hear the good news. It is my understanding that it ended a long time ago, but we never got the memo. Anyway, let's meet at the bar and celebrate. Don't worry about the beans, maven is trying to dig up some gas masks.
Great job.
Keep up the good works.
Keep on hubbing!
Can we leave out the pineapple juice?
Good morning eovery,
Thank you and keep on coming to breakfast.
Good morning carolina muscle,
Absolutely leave out the juice!
I long for the PIPs, bp, because the POPs are giving me heartburn. The "know-nothing" liberals among the Democrats are dismantling, piece by piece, the America we have always known and transforming it into something even worse than socialism. I pray the voters will awake before November.
I think anyone who listens to Bill Maher any more is "half-stupid." There is no other explanation for me unfortunately.
Good morning drbj,
I am so sorry about the lack of PIPS. I looked high, I looked low, but nary a PIP could I find. I'll try harder for the next award ceremony.
Good morning Springboard,
I think anyone who listens to Maher is completely stupid. Half stupid would be an improvement on his usual audience.
Bill Mahar is SUCH a jerk. I could say other things but I won't. You are becoming a special icon Pop - you always put a spotlight on the idiots in charge and the idiots who talk about them in the media and entertainment industry. Honestly - if a conservative white man had EVER said what that idiot said, they'd be attacked in the streets. What a piece of work that guy is! Carol
Dear carol,
Maher never shuts up! it is one hideous statement after another. It's easy to spotlight the idiots, there are just so many of them.

Maher is a bitter and nasty little man, it seems he attended the same type of "journalism" training as the HUGELY huge Michael Moore, another left-wing pig! Yesterday when Barry was telling folks at a town hall meeting that he thinks the tea party should explain just what they want all he did was demonstrate yet again that he is incapable of listening. Frankly, I think it made him look foolish and even more inept than usual; he is the one who was elected, the tea party and other citizens HAVE been saying what we want, guess it is still too complex for the smartest man EVER!
