Oh that’s right. Mother’s Day. I did that yesterday. I very nearly forgot but Other Guy mentioned it. I spent more than I wanted to I think but it’s kind of cool cause mom’s getting a plant that comes from this place that just mostly exists to employ special people who don’t think so good, so it’s better than doing the honeybaked ham thing again.Comment by Jeff G. on 5/8 @ 12:38 pm #
Shit. Have to go out and get a Mother’s Day gift. In the rain. Shoeless.Oh. And here’s a pledge. If I can raise $500 more, I will develop a character who is very pro gay marriage, wears a few rolled up bandanas, a half shirt, short shorts, leg warmers, and maybe even some roller skates.
Dig deep, people. I’ll have to really get my abs firmed for that one.

I love you mom. Here’s a ham. Kind of lame.

You know… if I saw that conversation in real-time, in-thread… er, context, I wouldn’t think anything of it. But seeing it as an actual post, in and of itself, I am beginning to wonder if really this place is mostly a big pit of sick and mostly twisted odd creatures trapped in the wrong century… or, possibly, wrong dimension…

Which, as indicated by your naming yourself “Enoch Root”, is right up your alley.
Comment by JD on 5/8 @ 3:02 pm #
Thank you Mom. Here’s a ham.

scooter – point taken. it’s just I wonder if PW is the intratard’s Land of the Misfit Toys. If it is, then would that make Jeff the kid who wants to be a dentist? And, worse, I guess one of us would have to be the demented jack-in-the-box. And then there’s the elephant stuffed animal missing chunks of itself. Who then would be the Himalayan Snow Beast?

I never had to give Mom a ham.
She had me.

‘Fraid I can’t be the snow beast. I don’t bounce. At all.

I AM NOT AN ANIMAL! I AM A MISFIT TOY!!!!!
Comment by Ouroboros on 5/8 @ 3:52 pm #
Do they have a stuffed snake on the Island of Misfit Toys?
Cause if they do I think I would be uniquely qualified to play the part.
If not a snake, how about an eel….?
Comment by Ouroboros on 5/8 @ 3:54 pm #
… or maybe a Ferret.. They’re long and skinny..
..but I’d have to wear a wig and glue on some legs..

We are the misfits of the blogosphere!

Um…

Comment by Jim in KC on 5/8 @ 4:03 pm #
Good idea, closing the Queen tag. You wouldn’t want your face to get stuck like that. Or something along those lines.

My mom slugged me with a small ham in a plastic bag once. That’s a long story.
I guess that makes me yarny. Like that doll, the once that you can’t quite put your finger on what’s the matter with her.
Comment by Christopher Taylor on 5/8 @ 4:58 pm #
How long can you get your hair by then? Cause I might be able to donate some if you can get a good Jew-fro going.
Comment by cranky-d on 5/8 @ 5:05 pm #
In my opinion, there was nothing wrong with the doll. She was just unloved for no good reason.
DOLLISTS!
Comment by Jeff G. on 5/8 @ 5:08 pm #
That’s what wigs are for, Christopher.
So far, nary a dime since I made the latest offer to humiliate myself. Which is both good and bad, depending on one’s perspective. Or one’s desire not to be photographed looking like some Venice Beach freak with an Obama bobblehead doll on his shoulder like some demented parrot.
But then, what are you gonna do, right?
Comment by Rusty on 5/8 @ 5:58 pm #
OK. I shelled out some bucks. Which is more than the tiresome trolls will ever do. So if you do something bazzare, take pictures.

did you see dr. pournelle’s fundraiser?
good model, i think.
Comment by donald on 5/8 @ 6:33 pm #
How does a guy like that get arrested? How come he ain’t some kinda meat based paste?
Comment by happyfeet on 5/8 @ 7:26 pm #
Oh. Misfit Toys. That was the first Rudolph tv thinger. And Speed Racer comes out this weekend. Same studio what distributes them and also Bill Maher. And you notice also Burl Ives is involved, who was in Roots, which is distributed by the Speed Racer and Rudolph people too.
Make it stop.

Yeah, I hate it when people forget to close their HTML tags.
Comment by Dan Collins on 5/8 @ 7:30 pm #
I’d be with you, hf, but . . . Christina Ricci.
Comment by happyfeet on 5/8 @ 7:35 pm #
I like her too. I kind of wanted to see the one with Reese Witherspoon where Christina had a pig face. That didn’t happen though.
Comment by happyfeet on 5/8 @ 7:38 pm #
Reese.
Christina.
They both say a lot with their eyes I think.

I’m not permitted to access that server. *sigh*
Comment by McGehee on 5/8 @ 8:02 pm #
Hmmm. I just realized my previous comment could be read as a reference to another person’s HTML coding. That was not my intention; at the time I was unaware that anyone had done any such thing. Other than me, of course.
Comment by happyfeet on 5/8 @ 8:04 pm #
Oh. Weird. I tried it in a different browser to make sure.
