Where's Quagmire?

Though I'm partial to anything with Clusterfuck in it.

Also missing, names along the lines of:

Operation That will show daddy I'm a real man.

Conan O'Brien, in a conversation with "W" once called it "Operation Ignore the Deficit." W. said he wanted to call it "Operation Whuppass."

I heartily endorse all references to Happy Fun Ball!

I voted for "Enduring Clusterfuck", but I've always been partial to the slightly more colorful and less pedestrian term, "goatfuck." IMHO, "Enduring Goatfuck" would work a little better for this particular mission.

Ah, clusterfuck. Is there any other word that's quite as evocative?

Though I do like Kop's "goatfuck". A little to specific in the fucking department for all-purpose use, perhaps, but also brilliantly evocative.

Don't forget the standards: SNAFU & FUBAR

As I said above, anything with Clusterfuck in it gets my vote. But I'm willing to comprimise with regard to the goat theme, as long as we can settle on goatsefuck.

I'm in favor of CarnioRectal Look See.

Also for your consideration, I propose:

Operation Eradicate Brownie - Part One

I went with catastrophic sucess because I think renaming the war is a good idea & that cluster fuck ain't gonna sell in the red states but catastrophic sucess will at least make them think

Operation "Plan To Be Provided"

Posted by: bushwahd at October 18, 2004 04:15 PM

With a nod to Barry Freed's earlier posting, how about,"Operation That Will Show I'm Better Than Daddy".

Posted by: DC at October 18, 2004 04:45 PM

Ah, Happy Fun Ball, how I miss you. How about Operation "Danger! This War is being made for the extreme priority the good looks!" It gives a sense of the reasoning AND the sentence structure used by 'W'.

Norbizness, did you just register at the Politically Speaking forum?

Operation Oedipal Apocaplypse

Posted by: SpinDentist at October 18, 2004 10:09 PM

I went for Operation: CranioRectal LookSee,
mostly because you just know they're going to use the same standard of reconnaissance, (oops is that a *French* word), that they've always used.

'Captain we've strained the BS drive as far as she'll go, any more pressure and we'll get there turd'
