A company called Shaka Laka, which has a Hawaiian-style website and a Utah address (for which no explanation can be found—to boycott or not to boycott?!) sent us some Obalma lip balm. It is RED WHITE & BLUEBERRY flavored and, to my mouth, too sweet. Along with it came Biden Balm, which is “Ham n’ Cheese flavor”—apparently a favorite sandwich of our new V.P. on the campaign trail. It smells very, very strongly like liquid smoke. A tester (not me, because: GROSS) winced after application, and then vigorous lip-washing ensued.
I’m holding out for Barry O’Bama’s Dark Irish Cream Liqueur.
You actually put it on your mouth? I would be very wary of trying an unsolicited product which was mailed to The Stranger offices from Utah. A lot of folks there don’t like you, it could contain anything.
@2, apparently you didn’t get the message. This is the time of HOPE, not FEAR! No need to fear people doing shady, mean, evil things, because the big hOpe-mobile is now in town! Huzzah! No Fear! All Hope! Hopey in 2009!
A few years from now a good-sized collection of the worst Obamana will be a fun thing to look at, much like Martin Parr’s collection of Osama bin Laden toilet paper, cigarette lighters, commemorative watches, etc.
Utah has favorable tax laws.
Brigham Young University, the Mormon university, has a campus on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. If you ever visit the Polynesian Cultural Center on the North Shore, all of the young employees are BYU students. Hence the Utah/Hawaii connection.
