SNERK!!!

By the light of the silvery loon.

Inmates running away from the asylum?

Dogsniff — looks like they’re saying “Live free! Buh-bye!”

Of course, somebody from New Hampshire, will probably e-mail Guy and rOdd to say those crazies are running INTO New Hampshire from Maine.

This would be more accurate on the Potomac and the Capital.

And I thought the Loons were a minor league baseball team in Midland MI.

the Great Lakes Loons

But the Republican convention is in Florida.

New Hampshire is famous for criminals? Name one.(Don’t you go a-Googlin)

I wouldn’t worry until you here the banjo.

we need more selections on the republican ticket…

Please don’t use people with mental illness as a punch line. I suspect you wouldn’t dream of exploiting people with rheumatoid arthritis or asthma or juvenile diabetes in that manner.

Herbert M. Allen, M.D.

Happens every four years,they’re called Republican Primary candidates.

Always some XX has to insert politics into everything.

It’s not right to make fun and jokes about mentally ill people.

Loons are Minnesota’s state bird. Very pretty call sound.I think people who ice-fish are loony!

Everybody seems to be missing guy & rOdd’s hidden gag. They’re riffing on a line from “On Golden Pond”, which was filmed in New Hampshire.(And Susan Sunshine, if they’re from Maine, they’re not loons. They’re Maine-iacs. Just ask one.)

Oh! Thanks, CoBass — I did miss that, but now that you say it, I should have remembered.

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. The only image I see in my link are Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn in the promotional poster for the film, and they’re at the top of the link. Maybe you’re seeing something which is browser-dependent, or the result of some browser cookie that’s set in your browser?

This is an overused joke and I think it is in a bit of poor taste. Bad job, Guy and Rodd.

I refuse to think with the “PC” folks. It IS OK to laugh at anyone and everything and say "Merry Christmas and sing Christmas carols etc, etc. Don’t try to spoil the fun of others. I notice they even tried to placate the spoilers by specifying “criminally” (not just normal insane) – and we still see complaints ;-((

New Hampshire actually has a “Loon Mountain”.

yep they must be loony to want Newt.

keep paddling i hear banjos! :)
