How did I know this one was going to be on here:
Fark likes to repeat jokes ad nauseum.

The Kent State, Village People, and Manhattan are funny.

It was bound to go from indigenous land to mortgage companies' land eventually, peacefully or not.

Question: What if the American Indians had won?

Answer: The Indians would say, "We're going to fight like a Finkbeiner to get our point of view across."


Nov 6, 2007 WSPD story that includes audio titled Local Leaders to Fight Energy Plan

A pair of Lucas County leaders say they'll fight an energy bill they say will raise electric rates even higher locally. Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner and Lucas County Commissioner Pete Gerken say they'll enlist the help of Toledo's delegation of state representatives, hoping to change the governor's energy plan before it becomes law.


Carty said :

"If nobody else in the state gets it, we get what's happening, and it isn't acceptable, and we're going to fight like Banshee Indians to get our point of view across."


I wonder if the Finkbeiner wing of the Banshee Indian tribe will solicit the help of former Toledo fire chief Mike 'King Kong' Bell?

Now where are the local Fark-like Photoshop experts who can create an image of Gerken and Finkbeiner decked out in Banshee Indian war gear?

And what would be a good Indian name for Carty? He can't go into battle with just 'Carty.'

With Carty's Wood County poaching comment back in July, I still think Carty is going to attack Wood County. And now we know he's capable because he can fight like a Banshee Indian.

Fighting is the new diplomacy.

@tolwire
Racist is usually synonymous with irreverently tasteless to those with thin skin. Perhaps it was self-depreciating humor? Lighten up, perhaps.

This one is better, and decidedly non-racist:

Since humor is my main concern, I'm willing to cede my first two points so long as you admit that as a joke, it's just not funny. It barely borders on a joke in the first place. As a comedian, I am disappointed.

Worse yet, the photoshoper's technical skill is at a junior high school level at best. That's actually giving it two much credit. It looks like the work of a 40 year old.

In fact, it's a howl! I liked the Kent State photo. I really like HistoryMike's humor.

It's hard for me to say which photo was the best.

laughed so hard I nearly peed.

I should point out I used to have self esteem issues. I now deal with them by laughing at people who are different than me.

MikeyA - are you laughing at me or with me?

posted by madjack on Nov 08, 2007 at 08:11:26 pm     #  

With you... unless you're different than me.

Back in July, Carty said :

"I challenge Wood County to work with us to improve the region's economy for the benefit of all our residents, not pilfer, pirate, raid, poach Toledo."


Last month, Carty said :

"If nobody else in the state gets it, we get what's happening, and it isn't acceptable, and we're going to fight like Banshee Indians to get our point of view across."


And now this month, Carty said :

"If Columbia Gas goes to a temporary headquarters and/or permanent headquarters anywhere but Toledo, World War III will erupt in Columbus and Toledo."


Wow, those Banshee Indians pack a wallop. Maybe another Toledo War of some kind looms on the horizon. Carty wants to do battle with Columbus and Wood County.

What's the latest National Intelligence Estimate report on the Finkbeiner wing of the Banshee Indian tribe? Intelligence and Finkbeiner, that's funny. The report is probably a blank piece of paper.
