WHITE HOUSE STAFF MEMO REGARDING THE TRANSITION ON JANUARY 20
by WENDY MOLYNEUX and MIKE BOYLE

Re: transition

All,

As you know, the date when we must be out of our offices is fast approaching. Here are a few helpful reminders in preparation for the changeover:

1. As of this morning, the red phone is again routed to the Kremlin, not Domino’s. Please use a regular phone to place your lunch order.

2. The Monday Night Football Room has been converted back into the War Room. That is why the president is crying.

3. If Mr. Cheney has killed one or more members of your family, kindly recall that we gave you a Wii in exchange for your continued silence.

4. All staff is requested to sweep the residential rooms for hidden Bacardi bottles. Please give these bottles to the president, as he would like to throw them away personally.

5. So as to appear frugal, we will be burning $100 bills instead of $1,000 bills in the fireplaces.

6. Going forward, if you experience problems with the Xerox machine, please summon a technician—not a demon.

7. When the first lady is in her werewolf state, please do not let her out of her cage.

8. If Obama staff are in the White House prior to the transition, please refrain from eating babies in front of them.

9. Please remove skulls, scalps, and human bones from common areas.

10. A construction team will be closing up the hellmouth in the Oval Office. Please pardon our dust.

11. Please take home any leftovers from the fridge.

This is kind of amazing.

GM:  OK, the bugbear attacks you.  What do you do?

OBAMA: I send one of my 672 henchmen after it.

MCCAIN:  OK, seriously.  Why does he have so many henchmen?  I’m a level 72 ranger and he’s only a level 8 paladin.

OBAMA:  Well, if you’d bought the Grassroots Organizing and Oratory/Colgate Smile proficiencies you could min max it so that you…

MCCAIN: Why is he even IN this campaign? I thought this was supposed to be a high level party.

OBAMA: Well, maybe some people got tired of the grim and squinty “Matterhorn, son of Marathon” shtick you keep doing.  Dude, could you be any less original?

MCCAIN: Oh my god, I did not leave my left nut in a tiger cage in the Tomb of Horrors to spend my Friday nights mopping up after the new kid.

OBAMA: “My friends, I am a totally unoriginal grizzled character class stereotype.  I should lead the party because I have more testicular damage than that one.”

MCCAIN: Yeah, well, you pal around with dark elves.

OBAMA: OH NO YOU DIDN’T.

MCCAIN: Whatever, so’s your mom.

OBAMA: So’s your FACE.

MCCAIN: So’s your Mom’s face!

HILARY: WTF you guys.  Why am I playing the cleric?
