Sure. Why not?

Well he’s the best non-theocon neocon at any rate.

Jeff who?
Is he the mysterious patron who gave you guys this nifty blog?
If so, then he’s a good guy.
;-P

Mikey beat me to it, though I was going with “Jeff blogs?”

This place is great, except for teh Jeff Troll

He’s certainly one of the most cerebral. Even his humor requires that one must think. His smack-downs are pitiless.
Jeff is a category unto himself.

So explain Infinite Jest to me…
I’ve read the first 50 pages.. the next 50 pages.. and even several more 50 pages… So why hasn’t DFW succeeded in teaching me to read his peculiar text? I still cant make sense of it..

Well … ever is a long, long time … but … OK!

Duh.

Does the BCS points ranking system really provide us the answer as to the ultimate best team in college football? Does the best fuck in the Gender Studies Department give the best head? Was Moe better than Curly?
Questions broader than the available symbols used in natural language are all too Beckettian.

I’m here for th ‘dillo, and the pie. Jeff’s pretty ok too.

Best Blogger Evah? Maybe..
Best UFC MMA Cage Fighter? It remains to be seen..
You ready to come bang with the Big Boys at the Hard Rock, Goldstein?
I got a ticket open against Fedor on June 24th..
since that crybaby Couture dropped out and Chuck’s tied up doing an American Express commercial with Shannon Elizabeth..
You interested?

Jeff has mastered the “always leave them wanting more” part. Which is something I was never able to get the hang of.
Is there a category for “always leave them wanting less”?

This guy has given us lectures on intentionalism and the Martha Stewart Prison Diaries. And for dessert: red pills found under the sofa cushions!

Not to mention … BEST political convention coverage EVA. It was like I was THERE.
Heck, it was almost like Jeff was there.

Although, I think my favorite post was an Ode to Eminem on his birthday. I’ve tried to find it, but have been unsuccessful. My google-foo is weak.

OOh, the force must be with me today, because I found it.

Goldstein is a failed academic — in the same way Wilt Chamberlain was a failed masturbator.
Comment by kelly on 4/21 @ 3:03 pm #
If Goldstein is a “failed academic,” I’d love to know know what a “successful academic” is. Oh, wait a minute…Wilt…masturbating…uh…
Comment by Ouroboros on 4/21 @ 3:16 pm #
If JG was a “successful academic†he’d have proven his Native American ancestry…grown a ponytail and be a full professor of some Ethic Studies field at UC Boulder by now…
He should be proud to have failed at that…

No one’s the “best” without naked ladies. But everyone else is worse.
And Ouroboros –
It’s a very, very long string of worn-out MFA cliches assembled by a hapless dork who’s never actually lived a moment of his life. The end.
The Tunnel by William Gass (which is great) and Letters by John Barth (which is incredibly annoying) really are the things IJ is really bad at pretending it is. Not that I’d recommend those to anybody but academic-literary dorks, but — stop giving Wallace money. He’s a fraud. And he smells funny.

I miss the extended semantic debates, I really do.

Jeff used to be the best blogger, but for some reasion his posts only show up on my computer once in a blue moon.
The Phantom’s blog, however, is still, by far, the best on the net.
Without this blog I would probably have had to off myself a while ago. I am always amazed at the laughs this place blesses me with.
Thanks for the asylum, Jeff – whether you post or not (I’d rather you did post more, though).
Comment by Obstreperous Infidel on 4/21 @ 8:11 pm #
Jeff’s the shizzle fo sho. He’s simply the best. I second Lost Dog’s comment on wishing he’d post more, but he’s a busy man. At least I assume he’s busy.

For the MAGNIFICENT BASTARDNESS. Of it all.
