Vote for the one you think is the weirdest, and let us know in the comments if you've come across a weirder one.

My boyfriend had a book about Ethical Hacking and my immature brain could not stop laughing about the section called "Penetration testing."

All Republicans also have the job title of pilot.

The shovel BS and "pile it" as high as they can.

Funny how some people just have to make everything political. Some just can't give it a rest and enjoy life now and again. Seems some have to "pile it" high since people like you are constantly flinging it at them.

These days just about everything *is* political. But I think Republicans are more responsible for that than anyone. They politicize virtually everything. They toss out the issues. I'm just responding to them.

Sick and tired of political comments. Both the republicans and the democrats are hopeless. Yes, I was being nice with my language,

I'm sick of both parties too. But I'm beyond being sick of the Republican party. I fear them. There's nothing left but extreme right-wing authoritarians.

My party is then reform party.

I frequently speak out against the republican party, but I seldom speak out against the Democratic party. The Republicans don't need any help with that. And I'm not against everything the Democratic party does. In fact, I think they would be a different party entirely if the Republican party lost a little power. One would hope, anyway.

The "scream" mask/painting illustrates how it feels to have a migraine headache.

What do you call those people that are paid to wear constumes and/or hold signs and stand out next to the road shouting to and waving at passerbys to get attention?
