— Maetenloch As usual iowahawk has come up with another pitch-perfect parody - this time of a text adventure game from the 80's as played by a certain up-and-coming Senator from Illinois:
WELCOME TO ADVENTURE! WOULD YOU LIKE INSTRUCTIONS?You can read the rest here to find out how the adventure ends.>YES
YOU ARE SOMEWHERE IN BELTWAY FOREST, WHERE SOME HAVE FOUND TREASURES OF GOLD ALTHOUGH SOME HAVE ENTERED AND NEVER BEEN SEEN AGAIN. MAGIC IS SAID TO WORK IN THE FOREST. I WILL BE YOUR EYES AND HANDS. DIRECT ME WITH SIMPLE COMMANDS.
YOU ARE IN AN OVAL OFFICE. THERE IS SNOW OUTSIDE. YOU ARE BEHIND A DESK. ON DESK THERE IS A BUST OF CHURCHILL.
YOU HAVE A CONGRESS.
YOU HAVE A SENATE.
YOU HAVE A MEDIA.
YOU HAVE A TELEPROMPTER.
YOU HAVE A MILITARY.
YOU HAVE A BIG JET.
YOU HAVE $3 TRILLION OF GOLD.
YOU HAVE 82% APPROVAL HEALTH.
THERE IS 7.2% UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE FOREST.
YOU HAVE A RACE CARD.
YOU HAVE INAUGURAL PARTY LEFTOVERS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Just read this over at Iowahawk and he is pitch perfect. I did notice that he got quite a few things out of sequence but this is perfect>

The FLOTUS has the most magnificent arms ever, and my opinion is based upon glowing reviews in Der Spiegel, Cosmo, and Hog Hunters.

Set this script to a computer-voice and an Obama impersonator (with the sound effect of keyboard typing) and this would be a huge hit!

It was very, very funny, but also realistic enough to depress me. Wonderful work, Mr. Hawk, sir.

heh. Don't threaten a reporter on camera, especially if you are Jay Levine, Chicago reporter, & you're trying to protect Rhamulus Ballerinus.
Go to jail. Do not collect $200. In Chicago, no less.

as several people have already said, hilarious with too much truth, which makes it brilliant as well as hilarious. Burge at his best is almost without equal, and most of us would have never known of him without the internet, which is an example of why the lefties want to regulate it.

Now I can tell the two comedic writers who I only occasionally read apart... Treacher is the one who got the job Iowahawk should have had.
Yeah, I went there...
On a separate topic; does anyone remember the game, or the exact syntax where; when it couldn't understand you; it went with something like:
It's a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in mystery; and hidden behind the fridge.
As far as the "I don't understand what you typed" message; that had to be my favorite.

After reading Iowahawk last night and Chris Muir's Day by Day cartoon today, I feeling like I'm trapped in Twilight Zone episode that is a hybrid BET remake of the movie BIG (tom hanks) and Dr. Strangelove (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb).
