but I love McCain’s Bazooka Joe imitation. Or Popeye, or whatever. I wish he’d get an eyepatch.
In comments, RWS throws down gauntlet, inadvertently breaks toe.

Pixiedust. incredulous, says he recognized her by her blog.
But does he remember the difference between a feminist Baptist and
a Catholic Pro-lifer?
Shia if I know.
See – this is why he’s not on the cover of Time.
How many states in the Union this week, Semen?
ppl judge attractiveness by symmetry
/nishi
Popeye? More like Poopdeck Pappy. They have the same squinky eye.
Her jacket picks up the stripes in his tie. Maybe it’s just my monitor.
Isn’t that his daughter?
Semen – Is it too much to ask for you to type your gibberish in English, just once?
TaiChiWawa – Sparkle is hot, but McCain’s daughter … oooo la la.
JD: I’m pretty sure McCain’s daughter isn’t French.
Yeah, neither am I. My eyes work quite well though, you racist Godbotherer.
Don’t forget Economic Oppressor. My dad worked real hard for me to carry that mantle.
I had to click the link to find out who Kathleen is. It was a lot of work, but worth it.
If he were shorter, he’d look a little like Simon bar Sinister.
Actually, Pope Benedict looks a lot like SbS.
Now MayBee …
Like old John there, I might have been winking a bit in my comment.
The picture I’m waiting for is this: http://www.amazon.com/Starless-Night-Forgotten-Realms-Legacy/dp/1560768800
Not to suggest anything untoward, but I’d hit it.
I wasn’t teasing you, TaiChiWaWa. I seriously had no idea who was this Kathleen lady.
That’s true, marko.
But I do know RWS and think she is beautiful.
That is lady who runs Rightwingsparkle, right? She is the Kathy Griffin of the internets.
MayBee – I have always thought that you and RWS would get along quite well. You are more tolerant of the salty language than she, but a great gal nonetheless.
He does look funny. He is probably hoping those crazy broads from the “It’s Raining McCain” video don’t show up and grab his junk.
Maybe RWS should do a “McCain Girl” video. Like “Obama Girl”, only way more classy?
Her head is at an odd angle, but she doesn’t look unattractive, IMHO.
Yeah it was a lot my monitor at home I think. So there’s that then. What I’m not seeing in that pic is that she’s shaking the hand of the next president. I’m gonna try squinting.
Maybe Benedict is Simon’s “good twin”?
You are a big sweetie, JD.
I’d say more Bazooka Joe than Popeye or his pappy. His chin doesn’t stick out in two directions like Popeye’s does.
I do: Catholic pro-lifers exist.
What we need is a picture of Benedict and Bill Clinton together.
MayBee – I have my moments, though they are few and far between.
RWS’s McCain love goes way back. I ‘member when we used to make fun of it at Ace’s.
Whose laughing now?
My wife takes bad pictures. She has this wonderful quality wherein her face is so animated, especially in conversation, that freezing it in a picture always diminishes her beauty. Maybe RWS is like that too.
Carin – it is still completely acceptable to make fun of her McCain-love. ;-)
Yar! I be a smooth pimp, matey!
RWS is a class act, unlike myself.
>i>RWS’s McCain love goes way back. I ‘member when we used to make fun of it at Ace’s.
Whose laughing now?
Indeed! Thanks for all the kind words, but it is an AWFUL pic. I am laughing (maybe at those at Ace’s?) and they caught it just as was tilted back. And McCain does look like a pirate, but I don’t care. I LOVE IT ANYWAY!
Now I’m determined to get another picture. AND I WILL.
Have no doubt, folks. RWS is nothing if not persistent, and kind, and hot …
That’s a funny-looking handshake. Are you tickling his palm? Maybe signaling you’re a female Mason?
RWS is right it is an awful picture.
asymmetry flags for health problems in the visual cortex.
mccain already looks old, he should avoid looking crippled or ill.
You know … I see it … the look in his eyes as if he really doesn’t remember who RWS is … OMG, WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
That’s distasteful.
Happy, nishi’s evaluation of McCain is PURELY medical. I think its one of those skills they teach transhumans. I think I’ll send her a picture of me … I have this problem with my foot.
sry.
there are all kinda flags to the visual cortex. it is like visual subliminals.
there has been a lot of sentiment data collected.
symmetry is attactive and healthy.
fair or light skin in women is associated with youth and fertility.
dark skin and hair in men is associated with virility.
there’s tons of this stuff.
Isn’t symmetry also very rare? It’s one reason models need to know their angles. And Barbara Walters will only be photographed from one side.
there are all kinda flags to the visual cortex. it is like visual subliminals.
I’ll bet somebody could use that in advertising and make a lot of money!
weekend’s over folks, please refrain from engaging the typing telephone pole.
Symmetry is incredibly rare, and my not in fact exist. Everyone has a better side.
I believe there have been experiments done where they reflect one half of a face onto the other side. It looks very strange. We expect a certain amount of asymmetry in people’s faces.
Having said that, McCain has that cheek thing going on on the left side of his face that falls outside the normal expected asymmetry range. I guess that happened as a result of surgery for melanoma. Either way, I would not hold that against him. If you live long enough, you acquire all sorts of “bonus features” on your body. The only way to be beautiful forever is to die before you’re 22.
you persist in thinkin this is some kind of a personal judgement.
i am just saying how visual cortex works.
and you are fools if you don’t think all the campaigns totally aware of this.
The rear?
Cranky, that’s exactly where the squint is from, his surgery did a number on his face. That doesn’t mean he can’t outrrun me or clean my soduku clock. But an eyepath might add just the needed cache.
Speaking of taste, I hope the rumored VP pick is not old Huckabeen.
Michelle says Barack is “stinky.” I think he might have leprosy.
and have you seen those ears!?
eyepath = eyepatch, of course.
The inside.
Huckabee is the one thing that would make me say aw whatever screw it let the freaking gimpy socialist have it.
nishit feels comfortable making a diagnosis from a still picture, but goes batshit krazy (nothing new) that Sen. Frist would make an observation based on a videotape. That the irony is not incapacitating is not the least bit surprising, given the source.
i like that nishi leapt right in as predicted in comment #4
just like a robot, a drone
lulz
but goes batshit krazy (nothing new) that Sen. Frist would make an observation based on a videotape.
It’s even funnier when you consider that Frist is, in fact, a doctor, while nishi has no qualifications in…well…anything.
Also, pirates are very Mavericky. With no Capt. Jack Sparrow this summer, McCain could easily take that niche. He doesn’t look anywhere near as old as Jack’s dad, Keith Richards (Lord of the Undead).
And Barbara Walters will only be photographed from one side.
The rear?
The inside.
Maybe McCain should resort to Barbara’s trick of putting a thin layer of vasaline on the camera lense when photographed.

i am just saying how visual cortex works.
and you are fools if you don’t think all the campaigns totally aware of this.
We’re judging YOU for acting as if it’s perfectly ok that people (two digits?) vote based on the candidates appearance. Because, I think you buy into it as well.
Ya know, if the people thought like nishit, Lincoln would never have been elected.
And Barbara Walters will only be photographed from one side.
The rear?
The inside.
Actually, it was Katie Couric who had the inside of her rear photographed.
We’re judging YOU for acting as if it’s perfectly ok that people (two digits?) vote based on the candidates appearance
actually, i dont think it is ok. but it is true that higher IQ people will research the issues enough to overcome the first impression imperative of visual cortext.
others, not so much.
it is just how it is.
you can’t fight biology.
Spies – That was just all kinds of wrong, on soooooooo many levels. I have to go bleach my mind’s eye now. Thanks.
nishi: you can’t fight biology.
Yes, that’s why all the Presidents look like Brad Pitt or Matt Damon rather than, say, Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson.
Idiot.
JD: glad to be of help. Heh.
it is true that higher IQ people
That is demonstrably not true, as the higher income and IQ groups are voting for Baracky. But, nice try.
Spies – You are evil, personified.
welcome to the darkside, feets
SBP, one word.
television.
JD: Worse than that, the probe was being done by a midget clown doctor with black leather mittens.
SBP, one word.
television.
Another word: idiot.
Despite your gross ignorance of anything that happened before this morning, television did exist during the Johnson and Nixon administrations.
Really!
“i am just saying how visual cortex works.”
Professor Irwin Fucking Corey, The World’s Greatest Authority, chimes in.
McCain is bad enough. If Huckabee is on the ticket I will not be voting for him.
Do not engage the Genocidal Telephone Pole.
Huckabee is actually a good candidate for VP.
The portion of the republican electorate that is violently against him is the core intelligentsia and the blogverse.
Far less numerous than the evangelicals, who, btw will never accept Romney.
It is interesting to see K-lo and others propose Romney, while vigorously tapdancing around his unelectability chops.
there are all kinda flags to the visual cortex.
it is like visual blah blah blah
blah blah blah BLAH BLAH BLAH
Nishi is like our own personal Cliff Clavin.
From the link:
“A chatter-box by nature, Cliff was well known as a storehouse of useless trivia, often of dubious veracity and bearing little relation to the conversation going on at the bar.”
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution rests.
SBP, yeah it did, but it wasn’t as culturally pervasive…..ppl still read newspapers.
and….wasn’t it black and white?
The Founders were smarter dan collins.
i mean that they only represent 1/5 of goofy marginal junkscience. we have never build to the wedge strategy.
villagers with pitchforks and supercolliders!
outlaw particle physics and partisan politics.
/spit
cut out of us into villagers with opiates and samesex marriage.
i find that link obscene as a constitutional amendment right?
you can’t fight biology.
Dave in SoCal: Nailed it!
SBP, yeah it did, but it wasn’t as culturally pervasive
Sure it wasn’t.
The nishi strategy:
1) Make up complete bullshit.
2) When called on it, lie.
3) When called on the lie, spin.
Unless you’re a
eugenicisttranshumanist.hahaha, yup.
exactly.
tell u want rob, we’ll just do our own genomes.
you can keep yours. ;)
You do realize the eye that isn’t squinting is red, don’t you?
That’s right – he’s a Terminator.
tell u want rob, we’ll just do our own genomes.
Who is “we”?
Over on the other thread, you just demonstrated yourself to be as brutally ignorant of basic genetics as you are of every other field.
So, yeah, if it’s a choice between keeping my own genes or letting you tinker with them, I’ll play the hand I was dealt. Thanks, though!
Nishi, math class doesn’t exactly prepare you to argue biology either.
The visual cortex doesn’t judge appearance, it perceives and categorizes, helping the associative functions identify what is seen. Where people may (or may not) prefer symmetry happens elsewhere in the brain.
Apparently in that part you sneezed out when you were five.
Transgenics…
Anyone else read Next by Michael Crighton yet?
mcgeehee wtf are you talkin about?
cognition happens in the neocortex, not the visual cortex.
i’ll be back wednesday when mccain releases his long delayed medical reports, hehe.
or even if he doesn’t.
Nishi, How did your scheduled appointment with your “potential sperm broadcaster” turn out? Did you remember to toss it in a blender with some symmetric gene therapy potion® before, uh, application?
That’s what he said, idiot.
well we aren’t talking about cognition.
we are talking about visual cortex first layer pattern recognition.
at least i was.
look…Allah shows the way.
haha, i couldn’t resist.
and….i bet the VP announcement correlates with the release of mccains med reports.
any takers?
Nishi, you should really just start each comment with “You know, Normie…”
RWS, you deserved better.
We all deserved better.
serr8D is right….thompson is way more visually appealing.
serr8D is right….thompson is way more visually appealing.
Just like Obama.
and Che!
and Che!
Cookies!
Of course not. We’re talking about you.
and Che!dreeeeeeeeeeeeamy!. If only he could be my Mystery Date!.
yup, O is more visually appealing than Fred.
John Edwards was the most visually appealing of all.
mmmmmmm, silky.
and bunnies. I miss the bunnies
OTOH, I hear Obama has Unicorns… and rainbows!
Nishi’s mystery date?
;D
oh goody!
the sandwichboard guyz are out!
haha, SaintOlaf already prophesied that Huckabee would be president! Testimony!
Who are the sandwich board guys?
Not that I really want to know, but they seem to be quite interesting to nishi. And hearing about them makes me hungry.
NO COOKIE FOR YOU!
Oh.
Sorry, Nishi.
Sufi, right?
hmm..they are Allahpudits commenters.
theres another one named redpills ……i thot mebbe that was about jeff.
yup..hafta be a sufi….
/yawn
nite
Knight. Templar.
Heh!
serr8d: how about one with this lovely fellow?
George Sanders, at 65… “Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck.”
Bad date(s).
but I really liked him as The Saint.
“TaiChiWawa – Sparkle is hot, but McCain’s daughter … oooo la la.”
McCain’s daughter? Ahhh…So-so.
OK. This will probably earn me PW probation, but I wish (two words I’ve been using a lot lately) that I was thirty years younger and took Jenna Bush to a keg party, got her drunk, and then porked her brains out, endlessly.
I really wouldn’t want to own her. Just borrow her for a day or two.
It is so great to be old enough to be such a useless pig without having to offer any apologies. The first real bright spot I’ve found in my fade to blue.
Karl
Keith Richards has a house about a mile form where I live. He is one of the only people left in the world that i would be excited about playing music with.
The first time I met him was in the local grocery store, and he appeared to be about three and a half feet tall and to have been dead for at least ten years. Not only that, he was riding a girl’s bicycle!
Oh! How the mighty have fallen! I was absolutely certain that he was at least ten feet tall.
I still beg him to come down and play, though. I just hope he gives me a heads up if he finally does, so I can wear a blindfold. He really is an unsettling sight. (sorry, Keith)
OK. OK.
Nishi says:
“Blah balah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah balah blah.
Blah blah blah blatiddy blah blah blah blah blah”
I’m sorry, Nish…But you remind me of the Farside cartoon about the guy berating his dog.
Please learn some English. I know it’s a tough request, but it might help you deal with the real world, and also make it easier to understand what you are trying to say.
If you want to text somebody, use your cell phone, and send it to another cell phone. It’s much more amusing to me when you use the English language to comment, instead of TTL (Teenie Text Language).
Really. The english language is suffering enough without you drawing more blood from it every time I read one of your comments.
