Obama ‘house-parties’ seem to be all the rage these days… although I’ve never been to one, I can only imagine how oddly embarrassing it must be to host and/or attend one of these events… meeting with like-minded people to consume an “Obamlet” with “Baraccoli” just doesn’t strike me as a very natural setting… and I’m not entirely sure what kind of appetite I’d have even if I were to subject myself to such an uncomfortable evening.
But just because I’ve never been to one, doesn’t mean I couldn’t develop a pretty decent idea of what one might be like. Here’s a brief snippet of one possible conversation:
Bill: Hey Fred, welcome to my Obama house party!
Fred: O, thanks, Fred. I brought some `Baraccoli` salad [chuckles] and some `husseinsational` brownies for dessert!
Fred: OOO SNAP!
[chuckles all around]..
Bill: [still suppressing some chuckles] Brilliant! I’m sure they will go great with the `Michellefish` sampler Joe brought…
[chuckles all around]..
Fred: Brilliant!
Bill: O, hey Joe!
Joe: Hey, wow, isn’t this great… I mean, why didn’t we think of this before… our wives always have parties for their tupperware or longenberger basket-thingees, I think its about time we threw our own party to celebrate the change that we need for this country..
Bill: Ya, DEFINITELY… we need change, that’s for sure….
Fred: Toootally… for real… I mean, like, if we don’t get any change, than, things will just go on being, like, the same..
Joe: uh, YAAA, that’s what I was saying.
Fred: Totally!
Bill: Ya, Fred, you are SO right.
Joe: well, enough with the deep political chit-chat… Seriously, just thinking about Barack makes me hungry! I can’t wait for the [raises eyebrows and intonation] OBAMAlets!!!
[a round of 'O, snaps!' followed by chuckles all around]..
–END OF CONVERSATION–
Man, ohh man… gag me with a fork… Can you just imagine the left-coast, elitist atmosphere at one of these events? Furthermore, are these ridiculous meet-ups going to have ANY impact on people’s opinions OTHER THAN to make them more quickly associate Obama with Food? This is just a few cards short of a workable campaign idea if you ask me.
