On a new episode of Psych, Shawn was trying to figure out what the acronym ORW stood for. His first guess was "Older republican walruses" then said "Never mind, that's silly. Everyone knows that walruses are libertarians."

Interesting.

He said it so faint, I had to turn on closed captioning to make sure I heard correctly.

What do you think this means? Was this an insult? Probably not. But it's just so weird to hear the word in such an odd place. Imagine if he said your name or your small home town. It just pops out at you. The word "republican" didn't register at all but "libertarian" did. What do you think?

More importantly, should Libertarians use a Walrus as their mascot? Maybe they'd be taken more seriously if they had an animal for a mascot.
:p

Are you serious?

THIS is what you wonder about?LOL.

It popped out at you because it has a place in your life...no nig deal. he just said a word, don't start freaking out.

Ring Ring.
"Hello?"
"Jon? Jon? It's Mike."
"It's 4 in the morning, Mike."
"I know, I know, I just wanted to tell you... tonight on Monk...well, he was talking to a guy named Mike, and he said pineapple."
"So?"
"Well, my name is Mike and I *love* pineapple. Do you think he meant something by it? Does he see me?" ::looking around all Dale Gribble like::
"Goodnight, Mike."
"I am serious, Jon! What does it mean??!!" :: pulling out hair, biting nails::
Click.

"OMG, it's a message."

LOL. Ya'll so silly. Wondering why people think we wear tin foil hats... ::shakes head::

Oh, well, it made me laugh.

Even a brain dead moron could see that this was protesting the NWO.

I wonder how long before Hillary Clinton has an "accident" befall on the cast.

A rudimentary web search came up with nothing on walruses and politics. I don't quite see the connection either :confused:. Maybe someone with more political knowledge could answer the question.

The humor of Psyche is catching you off guard and having you laugh at the inappropriateness (absurdity) of the comment while the jokester keeps a serious face, which is supposed to make it even more humorous.

You lot fail at humor.

I don't watch Psych so I wouldn't know how their humor works. It's like trying to read sarcasm in print. It's hard to catch it when you don't have the visual mannerism in front of you.

I know, I know. The people on the show probably didn't even notice. It was just another word. One could understand why they didn't use democrat or anything else, such as anarchist, because it would of been too out of place.

Never mind then! :)

Psych is an odd show, sometimes funny sometimes so stupid it hurts.

Are you fucking kidding me? Shouldn't they get a bad ass bald eagle? One swooping down with a spear stabbing an elephant and donkey while they are fucking each other or something?

A porcupine? Goddammit it would make more sense to get Sonic the hedgehog.

( :end joke: :p )
