HOMOPHOBE!!!!
Unless you were referring to the British term for cigarettes, in which case, please share, since the taxes on smokes around here are making me consider quitting.
Comment by Major John on 8/22 @ 9:22 am #
Bah.
Um, feel like what?
Comment by A fine scotch on 8/22 @ 9:26 am #
After your workout yesterday, I could see why not.
Comment by psychologizer on 8/22 @ 9:30 am #
There’s an Ann Miller musicals marathon on Turner Classic Movies today.
COINCIDENCE?!
Comment by Jeff G. on 8/22 @ 9:36 am #
Well, I was going to watch a movie, but I was thinking something more along the lines of Karate Kid.
Right now, though, I have shit to do, and I want to spend some time with my son. Brings me “balance” after a day of fending off character assassins.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 9:37 am #
When I am in a bad mood, I pull out the Tombstone DVD and let Doc and Wyatt cheer me up.
Comment by Carin on 8/22 @ 9:49 am #
Well, I don’t feel like commenting. How do you like them apples?
Plus, I have a man replacing old bricks in my house today. But, that is totally coincidental to my lack of commenting desire.
Comment by slackjawedyokel on 8/22 @ 9:59 am #
It’s just as well — I don’t think my insecurities could stand being fed any more hypermasculinity posts today.
To compensate, I think I’ll shop around for a couple of vicious pit bulls. I understand there are a couple of kennels here in Virginia that are having a going out of business sale.
Comment by Carin on 8/22 @ 10:07 am #
I could hook you up, slackjawdyokel.

A*Teens videos!!!! Trust me.

whaaa? the link, it is here
Comment by Sean M. on 8/22 @ 10:19 am #
Spending time with your son, huh?
God, you’re such a woman.
Comment by totally anonymous person on 8/22 @ 10:21 am #
I think I’m going to pretend to be mistress of Pemberly today.
Or go to Ikea.
Or maybe NC to get a powerball ticket.
I could go shoe shopping.
Or go running.
Meh.
Some days you wish you had a pomeranian with a trampoline and a bollywood soundtrack.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/22 @ 10:24 am #
OMG!!! A*Teens with puppies!!!
Comment by happyfeet on 8/22 @ 10:31 am #
this one’s better… no animation. Watch this and try to sustain teh meh.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 10:31 am #
happyfeet – There is no way that those 2 young ladies are teenagers. None.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/22 @ 10:34 am #
oh. That actually kind of helps me not feel so dirty.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 10:37 am #
They are 23 and 24, according to their offical websites. Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian? Regardless, quite beautiful.
Comment by The Ouroboros on 8/22 @ 10:42 am #
Screw The Karate Kid (figuratively… literally it wouldn’t be considered manly except in very macho 3rd world countries..) You already know how that movie ends.. (plus we all know deep down that Ralph Macchio would have gotten his ass handed to him had that been a real tournament)
Go instead with Terry Gilliam’s Tideland.. Now whether TG is masculine or not.. How the hell should I know? But he makes some excellent movies.. Tideland does have sex, explosions and dead bodies and Jeff Bridges once again playing an old stoned out hippie/rocker addict if it’s any consolation..
If you’re looking for a Martial Arts ass kicking fantasy get Enter the Dragon or an old Billy Jack movie… but if you want to watch one of those great movies that the mainstream “critics” panned across the board, go with Tideland..
(Maybe as a double feature with Brazil)
Comment by SarahW on 8/22 @ 10:43 am #
Fluff, pep and bounce – that’s almost everything I asked for, Happyfeet.
But the meh is strong.
Say, can someone explain to me how it is that scandinavian women are among the most beautiful in the world, and the men are (mostly) just plain goofy looking?
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 10:45 am #
Why is it that when Sarah says that, it sounds like such a compliment, and so very nice, and when happyfeet or I mention the same thing, we sound like we are drooling on our keyboards?
Comment by SarahW on 8/22 @ 10:48 am #
Well, from where you sit, you can probably hear all the drool hitting the keys.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 10:51 am #
LOL! Good one!
Comment by The Ouroboros on 8/22 @ 11:03 am #
Yeah, and after you explain that then please explain to me how my mother and father look like freakin Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta from Grease yet I end up with a face modelled on Marv from Sin City.
Genetics.. Feh.
God just has a wicked sense of humor.
Comment by Karl on 8/22 @ 11:32 am #
No, though Jens Lekman has clearly figured it out; he’s like the Swedish Robert Palmer.
Comment by dicentra on 8/22 @ 11:43 am #
sigh…
Does this mean we have to hit the tip jar again to make Jeff resume writing?
Comment by Carin on 8/22 @ 11:45 am #
I was feeling Meh on Monday. Then, I officially declared summer over, and sent my kids back to school*. Perked me right up. Them? Not so much.
But, my stepmother sent me a link; Jenny Granholm declared it illegal, or some such, for school to commence before Labor Day. I’m waiting for the jack booted thugs to appear at my door. The woMan can’t ME down.
*Home school
Comment by Gabriel Fry on 8/22 @ 12:04 pm #
I’m going to use this as the central piece of evidence in a post about intellectual fatigue among right-wing bloggers. Now look what you’ve done, O provider of fuel for the east-coast liberal elites.
Comment by Cowboy on 8/22 @ 12:09 pm #
I’m with Jeff. I made the mistake of venturing into Mandy’s little playground yesterday.
They called me bad names and today my kung fu is weak, my new kitten just bit me in the knee cap and looked at me as if to say, “Whatcha gonna do ’bout that”?
Meh.
Comment by Drumwaster on 8/22 @ 12:20 pm #
Boy, if I had a nickel…….
Comment by BJTexs on 8/22 @ 12:27 pm #
Cowboy:
I watched you drowning in a sea of teh modern sexual identity theory and I was temptrd to throw you a rhetorical life jacket life jacket. Just then, quite suddenly, I went painfully blind.
I got better…
Karl:
That may be the funniest thing I have ever seen: The Swedish Robert Palmer, Bwaaa HaHa!
JD and happyfeet:
Both of those young ladies are quite lovely but after listening to that song I had to drill ahole in my head to release the pressure. I was grateful that the 18 Volt cordless was in the office today.
JD: Have you recovered from the nightmares about that freak show dwarf? I prayed for you! :-)
Comment by happyfeet on 8/22 @ 12:28 pm #
It just sort of occurred to me that this is not explicitly a not-open thread, so, these are interesting thingers that are in the pub…
How you do this is, you click on the orangey words, and then you will suddenly lurch to the page the thinger is on. You can keep track of the thingers in a little green notebook if you want.
Islamosocialist Wet Dream? This is about our new Libyan friends. I think Lex Luthor is involved also.
It’s More Than Unfavorables This is about Hillary Clinton. In this chapter, Gallup publishes a rebuttal to something Rove said about Clinton. That doesn’t sound very objectivey.
Super! Another one of them midget-gets-penis-superglued-to-vacuum-cleaner-nozzle stories.
Come Back, Shane! Hans Blix’s tongue is involved. But mostly this post continues this blog’s mysterious aversion to the word “yob.”
Everything’s up to date in Kansas City I never know what state they’re talking about. Hillary wants to extend the Family & Medical Leave Act to the military. God she’s dumb.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 12:43 pm #
BJ – I was doing better, until you and happyfeet brought it back up. Thanks.
Actually, the new news about our twins on the way has kind of pushed my phobias to the side, and replaced them with joy mixed with a good bit of anxiety.
Comment by Jim in KC on 8/22 @ 12:44 pm #
Depressingly common these days. There should be a law or something. I wonder if Michael Bloomberg and the New York City council know about this vacuum cleaner molestation epidemic, and just what they plan to do about it, symbolically or otherwise?
Comment by slackjawedyokel on 8/22 @ 12:50 pm #
Back to the original “Meh”:
It all started for me this morning when I noticed that the featured coffee selection in the cafeteria was something called “Brazilian Nut Crunch”. There are just too many ways to read that.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 12:50 pm #
Jim – Clearly Bloomberg needs to ban Demon Dwarfs from NY City.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 12:51 pm #
Brazilian Nut Crunch – Is that what happens to Gleen Greenwald when he stays out too late ?
Comment by Jim in KC on 8/22 @ 12:58 pm #
JD, I was thinking more along the lines of banning vacuum cleaners. Or perhaps the notion of “vacuum” altogether. Practicality and physics be damned(!), this is a government solution we’re talking about, after all.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/22 @ 1:04 pm #
vacuum is the future.
Comment by Joseph on 8/22 @ 1:11 pm #

Comment by Darleen on 8/22 @ 1:15 pm #
Jim in KC
No no…can’t ban them completely
otherwise what will John Edwards do to earn the big bucks to add a private football stadium on his humble estate?
Comment by Jeff G. on 8/22 @ 1:15 pm #
I think it might be more proper to use it a central piece of evidence that P90X doubles are making me sleepy and irritable, but I understand that you have to feed the narrative something.
So go forth with my blessings, son.
Me, I’ve settled on watching the original Walking Tall and working a bit on my tan.
Because it’s important to remind myself from time to time that I can relax, if I so desire.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 1:16 pm #
Jim – There is a far greater likelihood of passing a ban on dwarfs than there is banning vacuum cleaners.
Comment by Jim in KC on 8/22 @ 1:22 pm #
JD, you need to think like a control freak, eager to manipulate every detail of each citizen’s life, not like a normal person. Besides, legislating negative pressure out of existence is almost>/i> like legislating negative speech out of existence. Delicious!
Comment by Jim in KC on 8/22 @ 1:23 pm #
Shit. Broke that italic tag, I did.
Comment by JHoward on 8/22 @ 1:27 pm #
Well that’s just great, Jeff, because there’s ample chest-beating on Hot Air right now about if conservatives read as many books as liberals. I bet A. Morecocked reads a TON. And you’re tanning. FINE.
Hell, I can’t recall the last time I went cover to cover but then I’m a redstater. If I weren’t so damn good looking and well endowed in all things pertinent — not to mention exquisitely balanced about my masculinity — I’d be feeling quite insecure right about now.
Think I’ll go drop an engine today or something…
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 1:29 pm #
Can’t we just agree that a city that bans demon dwarfs is a good thing?
Comment by TODD on 8/22 @ 1:32 pm #
Spent three days at Disneyland with the wife and kids. Stayed at the Dland Hotel. For the next few weeks nothing can bring me down, maybe except the 3 hour wait to get on the Finding Nemo Submarine ride . What a waste. Good day people….
Comment by BJTexs on 8/22 @ 1:39 pm #
JD: That plaintive sound is not well, manly.
But twins? Mega Measures of Musky Manliness!!!,
I believe congrats and sympathies are both called for. I have good friends who have triplet boys! In addition to warding off offers for my wife and I to “take one, please,” I have to suppress an urge to shudder uncontrollably.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 1:40 pm #
Todd – We are doing the same thing later this month, and then going on a Disney cruise, which is absolute sensory overload for the little ones. Good times.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 1:42 pm #
BJ – My fellas are apparently quite the strong swimmers, and rather playful. I must have a talk with them. My budget is going to spiral out of control with 4 women shopping in my house.
Comment by BJTexs on 8/22 @ 1:51 pm #
Whoa, nellie! All Girls!!!????
I’d be stocking up on red pills right now, LOL. Oh and Krugerrands! Get used to having no beer money while you are neck deep in Strawberry Shortcake crap.
Not to worry: I hear Febreze makes a allergin spray with aerosol testosterone. :-)
Seriously, raised glass and great blessings for you and your wife. May the road rise up to swat evil clown dwarfs from your path!
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 1:57 pm #
All girls. I am going to ask my doctor about testosterone pills, just to help me keep my sanity.
Kaitlin already has practically every piece of pink Barbie paraphenalia that exists. Right now, the theatre is the only room in our abode that is still mine, and I will be installing a moat, drawbridge, and several deadbolts to the theatre in short order.
Thanks, BJ. You are a good fellow.
Comment by Darleen on 8/22 @ 1:57 pm #
My budget is going to spiral out of control with 4 women shopping in my house.What? No sewing machine in the house??
Seriously, JD, my girls are close enough in age that I had like 3 teeanaged girls in the house at once over a period of years (my girls are now 28, 26, 24, 20) … Beginning of school year I gave them each a cash budget for shopping, then dropped them off at the mall. They had to make it work cuz they got NOTHING else.
Amazing what a couple of poor choices did in teaching a shopping lesson.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 2:05 pm #
I am going to take the ostrich approach, and stick my head firmly in the sand. We went looking at cribs, bedding, and all of that kind of stuff today, and despite having done this all 6 years ago, the sticker shock never wears off. The people that invented Pottery Barn Kids should be murdered.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/22 @ 2:43 pm #
You can get a lot done at Amazon and the Amazon Prime thing helps cut the shipping costs if you sign up for it. But then some people like going to the retail outlet places. Me, I don’t. But then it’s LA, and it’s a whole different level of commitment involved to get from point A to point B here.
Comment by Sgt. York on 8/22 @ 2:44 pm #
To cure the meh’s…a truly manly true story/film…Sgt York.
GC marathon on TCM yesterday did not include this….Of course, it’s Robert Osborne….He’s one weekend at Fire Island away from mincing/prancing when he comes out to intro a film.
Comment by Rick Ballard on 8/22 @ 3:07 pm #
“Well that’s just great, Jeff, because there’s ample chest-beating on Hot Air right now about if conservatives read as many books as liberals.”
No. They don’t. We must always remember that nature abhors a vacuum (unless attached to a midget). Liberals reading more is just proof of the hypothesis.
Comment by Swen Swenson on 8/22 @ 3:46 pm #
Hey! I resemble that remark!
Comment by Miller on 8/22 @ 4:39 pm #
A lot o’ people don’t realize what’s really going on. They view life as a bunch o’ unconnected incidents ‘n things. They don’t realize that there’s this, like, lattice o’ coincidence that lays on top o’ everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you’re thinkin’ about Brazilian Nut Crunch. Suddenly someone’ll say, like, Brazil, or nut, or Brazilian Nut Crunch out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin’ for one, either. It’s all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

That’s good – so you can see how they grow artistically over the years.

“Comment by happyfeet on 8/22 @ 8:15 pm #

Wait, that’s not very manly.
Comment by N. O'Brain on 8/22 @ 9:04 pm #
Ooooooo…..
VDH gives ST. Andrew of the Perpetual Hysteria a manly, well, cockslapping.
“A Response to ever more from Andrew Sullivan”
“The last time I had a run-in with the frenetic Andrew Sullivan was in front of an audience at Columbia University. There while loudly renouncing his former support for invading Iraq, he accused me of supporting government-sponsored torture  only later to concede that in fact, as I told him at the time, I had written a column specifically objecting to its use as others acknowledged. But that apparently has become Sullivan’s modus operandi  in frenzied fashion to toss out slurs and then to grow silent when they are refuted.”

Comment by happyfeet on 8/22 @ 10:35 pm #
There may be some because they took a trip to Cuba and I know they played on the beach while they were there. I may have to register at their site cause it’s not letting me into their gallery. I will explore further.
Comment by JD on 8/22 @ 10:40 pm #
How in the world do you know that?
Comment by happyfeet on 8/22 @ 11:00 pm #
I googled about a little, and found out about Cuba, but nothing linkworthy popped up.
