Gotham Chopra - August 10, 2006
Word is that combing gatorade with some common peroxide liguid gel makes for a pretty powerful bomb that can be triggered using an ipod or cell phone. Wow - really? MacGyver is totally working with Osama Bin L. Remember MacGyver, the dude who could make pigs fly with a clotheshanger and a match? Well he's apparently back and doing no good for the folks at gatorade. Allow me to explain:
Not that I have any connections of either side of this partnership but I am going to assume that the good folks at gatorade are not pleased that the terrorists alleging to cause, in the words of British authorities, "mass murder on an unimaginable scale" (not so fast, dude - i have a bloody good imagination!) were going to do so using liquid explosives concealed in sports drinks.
Grant it, they may have been planning to use Powerade but that would be sort of lame in my mind. Or they may have had in mind the dreaded ALL-STAR sport drink but that'd just be a dead give-away because everyone knows that shit is totally undrinkable.
I can say with actual experience that Gatorade is available in Northwest Frontier Province Pakistan, the part of Pak that butts right up againgst Afghanland (yes, duh I know it's AfghaniSTAN - i am being funny and maybe even a little racist...) and where some of the scheming behind this latest plot may have taken place.
In fact I quite imagine the scene where uncle Osama may have been sitting with his young Jihadi lads brainstorming terror and feeling a need to replenish his essential nutrients (he does supposedly have a weak liver...you see where I am going with this???), requests a burkha clad babe to deliver his some haterdade i.e. Gatorade. And when she does and uncle O spies the wide variety of flavored offerings he has to choose from the gatorade case picked up at the local Tora Bora costco, bam a terror plot is conceived. A call is placed to MacGyver's Hollywood agent and sleeper cells the world over are mobilzed! I told you my imagination is pretty good.
This has not been a good week for Pepsi execs (the parent company for Gatorade). First the hysteria in India over the revelations that both Pepsi and Coke are all jacked up with pesticides (duhhhh) and now this. Note to self: sell Pepsi stock.
Bottom line: find Macgyver and this shit goes away.
But even if they don't find Mac, I am re-assured that as my travel day back to the states approaches, President Bush and Prime Minister Blair are both "closely monitoring the situation" from their respective vacations. Thanks guys for watching my back.

Hello Gotham and Everyone,
I caught the news last night and they were showing a video that one of the "martyrs" made, you know, the popular "last claim to fame, once in a lifetime chance" video, that is so popular with the "terror crowd," these days.
He stated, and, really, this is all I heard, because I went blank after hearing it..
WE LOVE DEATH MORE THAN YOU LOVE LIFE.
WOW! Now, talk about marketing genius, the companies of the World should be flocking to the ones that can get someone, lots of someones, to utter those oh, so simple, words and then march forth into the sunset of a plane, train, resturant, bus, whatever, and oh, so lovingly blow themselves to simereens.
This is called weapons genius..peace ruth
dear gotham,
your post is so corny, its dagnabit funnee.
i know macgyver, and have been wondering where he is now. thanks for answering my question.
jen-d
p.s. i think he could also make a bomb out of a chewing gum.
G'morning 'Light G'!! (as opposed to 'Heavy D')
Your post is funny....liked it!
OK this is off the subject, but as you're one of the 'Losers' (Algore) biggest cheerleaders, I had to post this link...FUNNY!!!

This is too good...talk about 'inconvenient truths'!! And y'all say GWB is stupid!! This guy not only acts as if he's made of wood...he has a wooden head!!
Just had to jack with you this a.m.!! Hope you have a good flight home!! Since Algore, the propeht of doom and gloom, really doesn't take it too seriously, think I'll go buy that dually this afternoon!! We just might have eleven years instead of ten!!

Gotham, I think that this strike was as symbolic as the World Trade Center bombings. What could be more American than sugar laden, nutrition-deficient flat sports pop. What next exploding apple pies? Bacteria infested baseball caps? (whoops...got one of those myself in a musty corner in the basement). This all strikes at the heart of American society.
Terrorists have learned that the American Achilles heel is to strike at it's most sacred relics: its athlete endorsed products. Shame on them.
Scott.
So are you saying that Bush and Blair normally watch your back? Interesting disclosure here Gothamji

gotham - great post!
Gosh this Osama uncle works too hard!! All you need to do is take all the pesticide infested Pepsi from Indian plants and shove it down the throats of the American Infidels!
Those who love Coke (and hate Pepsi) will die from its sweet flavor anyways instantly. and the rest.. the death will come as best urea pesticide does it acts on people's kidneys! Why mess with Gatorade!
As a famous line of the villain (Ajit) in Bollywood goes:
"Drown him in Liquid Oxygen.. .. the liquid wont let him live... and Oxygen wont let him die!"
Hows that for torture!
Cheers,

Hi Gotham,
Good points.

Hey Gotham, I think Robin Williams has a better offer for MacGyver and his duct tape!
The Plan!
[Image Removed]
Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says "I love New York" in Arabic.
You gotta love Robin Williams......Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.
Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)
"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."
1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good 'ole' boys", we will never "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "

Wow! That was Robin Williams?????
Peace,

Scott,
I just cut and pasted the e-mail forward I just received that appears to be circulating! Of course, the image of him wearing the t-shirt was removed. So maybe...
Hi Gotham,
Have you ever thought about being the PR man for Homeland Security? They could use a make-over and you seem perfect for the job!
It's easy because -
1. You don't have to tell the truth, or even approximate it with your PR campaign
2. You don't have to actually know anything about Homeland Security
3. You have to be golf-buddies with Bush and hunting pals with Cheney (OK - so there is a bit of risk involved. Try to keep Dick AWAY from all firearms.)
4.You have to have a totally cynical sense of humor.
They'd set you up for life, and don't worry about public outcry - hey they all still have their old jobs, right?
Financing is no problem - just arrange a meeting between Dick and the CEO of Pepsico and it's a done deal! Remeber to keep the discussions in the meetings totally secret and have Georgie declare them classified for the next 50 years.
Also remember to NEVER let Georgie say ANYTHING in public unless you THOROUGHLY rehearse him up - and keep it simple. He doesn't do details very well.

Gotham,
When you wrote this thread, did it ever cross your mind that some people might find it in bad taste for you to refer to some one like Osama Bin Laden as Uncle?
an Uncle is usually someone who is very close to you and protective over you and also guides you and focuses wisdom on you, at least that is how My Uncle has been with me ever since I was very small...... do you think that the name Uncle is fitting for a cowardly loudmouth murderer Like Osama Bin Laden?

There was a guy on TV last night suggesting that in the future people may be able to take these liquids on board in ‘body cavities’.
Where will that leave us? Maybe we will have to ‘assume the position’ to be searched before flying.
Could this is the incentive we need to create a peaceful solution?
