- cfrog7, on 01/16/2009, -11/+251orange you glad I didn't say banana
- Origin415, on 01/16/2009, -2/+213Obama/his speechwriters should put his money on the word with the worst odds, and work it into his speech.
- 7m7uf, on 01/16/2009, -2/+133He should have the bailout money put on banana. Then at the very end of his speech go "Oh Yeah! One more thing - Banana! Economic Crisis - OVER!" while motioning to his groin area.
- spookyttws, on 01/16/2009, -2/+123"The United States is like a Banana, we may be rubbery, yellow, and easy to bruise on the outside, but inside we're creamy and and resilient....*under his breath* I'm going to ***** kill my speech writer!"
- AmyVernon, on 01/16/2009, -7/+103Shockingly, the odds are best that he'll say United States and change.
- ORBAT, on 01/16/2009, -4/+78And Captain Obvious saves the day again.
- Anand999, on 01/16/2009, -4/+58Here's the cure to our country's financial woes. Every American should put down $100 on "banana" and then Obama should say it in his speech. The thirty trillion dollars that would bring in when everybody wins with those 1000:1 odds will definitely help shore up our economy.
- mohsenxp, on 01/16/2009, -0/+52I'm amazed they even offered those odds.
1.03:1.00 for 'change'.
Drop 10 large and you've got yourself the easiest $300 you've ever made. - ileftfark, on 01/16/2009, -4/+48Daffodil? Antiquing? *BOOM*
- bmorrow, on 01/16/2009, -2/+46Hey should bet the National Debt and just say it.
- Sonan, on 01/16/2009, -1/+45Hence the 1000:1 odds.
- divinediva, on 01/16/2009, -17/+60Barack Obama is exceedingly unlikely to mention the word "banana" in his inaugural speech next week.
- richgustavson, on 01/16/2009, -0/+41That was a pretty fruity joke.
- tattertech, on 01/16/2009, -3/+421. Make the same joke as 10 other comments above.
2. ???
3. Profit! - pinkcherry, on 01/16/2009, -2/+41You got a little creepy at the end.
- DivisibleByZero, on 01/16/2009, -3/+40This just in, user named bobama2008 placing large bets in favor of Banana.
- djw319, on 01/16/2009, -0/+36If someone gives you 10,000 to 1 on anything, you take it. If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I am going to be a very rich dude.
- HCviolence, on 01/16/2009, -10/+431. Bet all your money on the word banana
2. say the word banana at inauguration
3. economy fixed - Peekman, on 01/16/2009, -0/+32You do know odds drop when lots of people start betting on them :P
- SpeedyThing, on 01/16/2009, -1/+30Can you just imagine how much you guys could win if you get him on your side!
"We all know that we are not a nation of soccer (1000:1) lovers, but that can change (1.03:1)! I admit it, I tried cocaine (500:1), and like the great Doyle Brunson (1000:1) I enjoy the odd game of poker (500:1). But who among us has no vice? Some may eat Turkey (100:1) and banana (1000:1) sandwiches, others may gamble on sites such as Betsson (1000:1) and have the odd wager on the Super Bowl (100:1). But I say this to you.. I have a dream (2.5:1) that if we work together to appreciate our differences then there is little our country can not achieve. By working with other nations such as China (20:1), Russia (20:1), Norway (100:1), Poland (100:1), Sweden (100:1) , the United Kingdom (50:1), and of course Peru (1000:1) we can attempt to solve the problems that face us. Climate Change (1.2:1), the World (1.03:1) economy (1.05:1), and the middle east (1.4:1). God bless America (1.05:1)"
There - national debt problem sorted and Sweden reduced to a third-world nation! - soogy, on 01/16/2009, -0/+23That is badass. What did everyone come up with?
My fellow Americans, today is a your day. You have shown the world that "hope" is not just another word for "penis", and that "change" is not only something we can believe in again, but something we can actually suck.
Today we celebrate, but let there be no mistake – America faces hard and creamy challenges like never before. Our economy is delicious. Americans can barely afford their mortgages, let alone have enough money left over for bananas. Our healthcare system is fun. If your testicle is sick and you don't have insurance, you might as well call a Joe the plumber. And America's image overseas is tarnished like a hot Michelle. But ***** together we can right this ship, and set a course for Walla Walla.
Finally, I must thank my amazing family, my sexy, barely-legal campaign volunteers, but most of all, I want to thank negroes for making this historic occasion possible. Of course, I must also thank you, President Bush, for years of masturbating the American people. Without your sexy efforts, none of this would have been possible.
I feel like I'm 6 again, playing Mad Libs. - mohsenxp, on 01/17/2009, -0/+21There's quicker ways to lose 10k. But seriously, how can he NOT say the word change!!
- kzoopSF, on 01/16/2009, -2/+22OK, so take the words with the worst odds and input them here: http://hopeandchange.atom.com (you'll have to adjust some of 'em to make them adjectives)
"Our economy is Terrorist-y. Americans can barely afford their mortgages, let alone have enough money left over for Super Bowls." - daschupa, on 01/16/2009, -1/+21Thank you my fellow Americans! This day is truly bananas.
- bonk2k, on 01/16/2009, -0/+18If someone gives you 1000:1 odds on anything, you take it. If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I am going to be a very rich dude.
- u8myfoood, on 01/16/2009, -3/+20But you did say banana...
- m0og0o, on 01/16/2009, -0/+16wow you f'd that up hardcore.
- mohsenxp, on 01/16/2009, -3/+19666:1 for 'Axis of Evil' incase anyone missed it! Oh gamblers are a funny bunch.
- tyrulz, on 01/16/2009, -1/+17Hopefully he will use "strategery"
- SiliconRain, on 01/16/2009, -0/+16I couldn't resist it. At 1000:1, it's worth a £1 bet. If he doesn't say it, I won't be gutted; if he somehow does, then I'll be laughing all the way to my new 42" TV.
- panic, on 01/16/2009, -2/+16Here's the link to bettson. US folks can't seem to sign up :(
https://www.betsson.com/web/en/sportsbook/#m=1097 - jotux, on 01/16/2009, -1/+15I like the part of divinediva's post that talks about the word "banana."
- inactive, on 01/16/2009, -2/+16You forgot Poland!
- Skunkhair, on 01/16/2009, -3/+17he should end his speech with "...and God bless America! *and then look into the camera* Banana."
- TruckStuff, on 01/16/2009, -2/+16I claim "hope" and "change."
- jotux, on 01/16/2009, -0/+14No one ever expects the Polish inquisition!
- Merp08, on 01/16/2009, -0/+13aahahahaa
- jasonaltenburg, on 01/17/2009, -0/+13Oh, and by the way, Jens Stoltenberg(1000:1), Doyle Brunson(1000:1), Fredrik Reinfeldt(1000:1), Anders Fogh Rasmussen(1000:1), Tarja Halonen(1000:1), and Jan Peter Balkenmende(1000:1), ***** Off(1000:1)!
There - now a bunch of random people are very pissed off, and drinks are on me. - harpoonhank420, on 01/16/2009, -1/+14i just bet my house on banana
- Jaliyl, on 01/16/2009, -0/+12So did everyone else.
- WiseWeasel, on 01/17/2009, -0/+12@SiliconRain: Damn, I guess he'll have to work in a 'Soccer', 'Betsson', 'Jens Stoltenberg', '***** off', 'Doyle Brunson', 'Fredrik Reinfeldt', 'Anders Fogh Rasmussen', 'Tarja Halonen', 'László Sólyom', 'Jan Peter Balkenende', 'Matti Vanhanen' (Finnish Prime Minister), 'Győzike', 'Zapatero', 'Peru', and an 'Angela Merkel' (for only 400:1, apparently) into his speech as well... It's gonna make for a hell of a closing remarks segment!
https://www.betsson.com/web/en/sportsbook/#m=1097 - mohsenxp, on 01/16/2009, -2/+14'Axis of evil' at 666:1
Subtle joke there incase you missed it!
I don't know though, I don't think him saying that (in reference to the legacy that he is changing) will be that unlikely!
Time to try my luck. - SpectralSounds, on 01/16/2009, -2/+13I don't know. He might mention something along the lines of, "We have had a president in office for the last 8 years that forgot to take off his 'Banana Nose Glasses' after he got into office".
Or maybe, "I know most of you feel as though you have been bent over, grabbed your ankles and been ***** in the ass by a banana in these tough economic times".
Trust me, there are plenty of opportunities for him to say banana. - manjas8, on 01/16/2009, -1/+12Well it really is turning into a joke. An openly anti-gay minister, an openly gay minister, a female minister, hip hop artists, hip hop comedians, unbelievably expensive tickets...
what's not a joke about this? - moo2u2, on 01/16/2009, -0/+11We have already seen too many body bags and ball sacks
- jotux, on 01/16/2009, -0/+10Bite my shiny metal ass.
- eggie015, on 01/16/2009, -0/+10clouds can be grey.....
- killerknives, on 01/16/2009, -2/+121000 to 1 odds for "Peru" are amazing
- billraydrums, on 01/17/2009, -0/+10Banangela Merkel...would that count?
- rebotfc, on 01/17/2009, -0/+10And if he doesn't say it you lose the quickest 10k ever.
