August fundraiser time [post sticky; LAST DAY TUESDAY]

Help protein wisdom pretend it is still a relevant part of the national political conversation by sending money that I’ll probably just end up blowing on rye whiskey and barely legal lesbian porn!

Or don’t. Like I give a fuck.

MACH II!

*****
update: About half-way there. Thanks to those who’ve contributed so far.

Friday update: Not much change, really.

Monday update: We’re in the home stretch. DON’T MISS OUT ON YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY — WHICH I PROMISE I’LL USE TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY. Even if that means not stiffing the hookers this time by repelling down to the street from a bathroom window.

I’m tired.

  1. Jeff G. says:

    PONY UP, BITCHES! THIS IS MACH II, I TELLS YA!

  2. sdferr says:

    Ok, Mach II, so long as it ain’t Munch II.

  3. cranky-d says:

    Done. I wish it could be more, but I calculated my quarterly tax installment for September recently, and it looks like I’m sending just about everything I’ll have left by then to the Fed and the State.

  4. Kresh says:

    Seriously? We’re supposed to find something wrong with barely legal lesbian porn? Talk about not knowing your target audience.

    Oh! Wait! That’s supposed to make us want to contribute. Well played, Mister Goldstein, well played indeed!

  5. DarthRove says:

    I’ll try and send enough for a bottle of rye. Lord knows I don’t want you pouring together all the little remnants in the bottoms of your old bottles. That’d be at least 50% backwash, so ewwww.

  6. bh says:

    I’ll kick in for some rye, too. The barely legal lesbian porn is free and composes 98.3% of the internet. Or so I’m told.

  7. poul says:

    jeff, if you care about staying relevant, you should know that nobody pays for porn on internet anymore, lesbian or otherwise.

    i’ll be in my bunk.

  8. WHY DON’T YOU JUST GET A FUCKING JOB LIKE THE PEOPLE YOU’RE BEGGING MONEY FROM?

    WHY DON’T YOU GO PISS UP A ROPE?!

  9. ST-rollin' says:

    STupid is my name but it’s too hard to spell so…

  10. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – I always knew you were a macher

  11. cranky-d says:

    Let me send out a big, hearty, “Fuck you, asshole,” to ST. If anyone ever deserved one of those, it’s you, neighbor.

  12. alppuccino says:

    WHY DON’T YOU JUST GET A FUCKING JOB LIKE THE PEOPLE YOU’RE BEGGING MONEY FROM?

    With FROTUS at the helm? HA! Good sarcasm there ST!

  13. bh says:

    There’s always gotta be one asshole. It’s a fundamental law of the universe.

  14. pdbuttons says:

    i don’t have a credit card and if someone would email their address i would send them a check/snausagle@yahoo.com/maggie katzen did this for me once but i lost her address
    sorry 4 being a pain/ha! to think people on here thought i was an idjit before/well/te confirmation nuber just came in/
    fuck it/pride is a sin

  15. John Bradley says:

    I once had a lot of money, and spent most of it on booze and porn. The rest, I wasted.

  16. cranky-d says:

    Old Playboy party joke, the preamble to a will: “Being of sound mind and body, I spent all my money on chorus girls and liquor.”

  17. Jeff G. says:

    ST is just jealous that nobody would piss on him were he on fire and holding a sack of cute little kittens.

  18. happyfeet says:

    I’d grab the kitten probably.

  19. John Bradley says:

    WHY DON’T YOU JUST GET A FUCKING JOB

    I’m afraid I don’t understand your point.

    Isn’t what Jeff does an acceptable, State-approved line of work? He provides a valuable service, in the form of his occasional writings and this lovely meetingplace of truly fine people, and in exchange, we kick him some money at the beginning of each month.

    Jeff and his customers exchange their time and money (respectively) for items of higher perceived value, and thus the overall wealth of the country is grown by a tiny little bit. Someone could write a book about.

  20. B Moe says:

    There’s always gotta be one asshole. It’s a fundamental law of the universe.

    One I could deal with. My universe seems to be mostly assholes these days.

  21. Spiny Norman says:

    The kittens, yeah, I’d save the kittens. Other than that…

  22. Spiny Norman says:

    PayPal is still fucking with me, so I dropped some in the tip jar directly.

    After PayPal reminded me that I have money in my PayPal account… THAT THEY WON’T LET ME ACCESS!

    o_O

  23. pdbuttons says:

    kittens are bjorks minions
    meow!

  24. Spiny Norman says:

    Cinnaminions?

  25. happyfeet says:

    I must’ve read that wrong I thought there was just the one kitten but I’m kinda in a hurry… I spent all morning copying Mr. buttons’ bjork period over to Chicago on messenger now I’m probably not gonna get everything done today I wanted to which is kinda what passes for job security these days I guess

  26. happyfeet says:

    oh. there’s more.

  27. Spiny Norman says:

    Damned IHOP/Despicable Me commercial is stuck in my head…

  28. Rusty says:

    #23
    Tell me about it.

    Jeff
    I sold all my old Hustler magazines to a kid down the block for 25 bucks and a bottle of percocets. Split it all with you.

  29. pdbuttons says:

    one of the ways to defuse bjork/ put mittens on her/its hands
    you’re a better man than i/gunga din

  30. Spiny Norman says:

    I found a picture of ST, here.

  31. Frontman says:

    Jeff apparently is a kulak.

  32. cranky-d says:

    What does “ST” stand for? Stupid Tool?

  33. John Bradley says:

    Icelandic Advertising Voiceover Guy: “…so chunky, you’ll be tempted to eat it with a fjork.”

  34. alppuccino says:

    I’d piss on you even if you weren’t on fire ST.

    You are a woman, right?

  35. pdbuttons says:

    remember the bork hearings?
    bjork does

  36. Spiny Norman says:

    Remember Jeff, goofy psychological projections are a conservative fad.

    I would say something, but I’m too busy laughing my ass off…

  37. urthshu says:

    THANK GOD!!! Another fund drive!
    I got the tote bag/prayer rug combo from Jeffy Ltd. just last week for pledging the money I was gonna just waste on chemotherapy – and it was worth it! I feel better alrea

  38. urthshu says:

    Sorry. Passed out for a sec.

  39. Mr. W says:

    If their was any real social-justice in this world, and talent was something that mattered, then Jeff would have a driver pick him up every day at his swank penthouse, and Anderson Cooper would be working the docks for spare change.

    (I know, I know, Anderson works the docks now, but in my scenario he wouldn’t be giving it away.)

    CNN’s audience consists of angry people trapped in airports who are not watching and they still manage to jack advertisers for millions. It makes no sense.

  40. alppuccino says:

    You can pee on my tits anytime

    That really doesn’t verify your womanhood there Barney.

  41. happyfeet says:

    hah that was a Sarah Palin joke

  42. alppuccino says:

    I submit it was an Obama joke happy.

  43. The kittens, yeah, I’d save the kittens.

    oh, then have I got a deal for you!

  44. alppuccino says:

    Somebody had an anger sandwich for lunch today.

  45. happyfeet says:

    ST person you’re a dick I don’t know why you gotta be like that and jeez it’s Monday or it was

  46. newrouter says:

    Golly, Jeff Goldstein dun deleted all my posts.

    i’d delete your entries for a dun good reason i think

  47. sdferr says:

    Mewl a little more ST, maybe you can get them back.

  48. alppuccino says:

    …a dick with teats, no less.

  49. newrouter says:

    Wow. I’ll have to write that down on my hand so I won’t forget.

    better yet add it to your teleprompter feed

  50. Spiny Norman says:

    Somebody had an anger sandwich for lunch today.

    Nah, somebody didn’t get enough attention as a child and is taking it out on the rest of the world. ST may grow up one day, but I have my doubts.

  51. alppuccino says:

    ST may grow up one day

    I’m afraid there’s nowhere to go up from all caps.

  52. urthshu says:

    Its thanks to Jeff’s efforts here that the 3rd Amendment is still rock-solid.

  53. Makewi says:

    I imagine it must be an uber empty life that leads one to hang out in a comment section of someones blog just to let everyone see your hate.

  54. B Moe says:

    Golly, Jeff Goldstein dun deleted all my posts. Must be because he’s uber unemployed, and as such, has vast uninterrupted stretches of leisure time to logically refute any possible arguments that he’s a lazy, lying hypocrite.

    Yet he has a blog, and all you have is a handful of your own shit.

  55. newrouter says:

    I hereby promise henceforth to tithe regularly to the least influential unemployed objectivist blog ever.

    mr st is going for the big time

  56. newrouter says:

    mr st your opinion on cupcakes pro or con?

  57. newrouter says:

    also the internationally infamous little debbie question?

  58. Jeff G. says:

    ST has been banned here under at least 7 names. Yet still he comes back. To the least influential objectivist blog ever.

    And he wants to talk about my use of time. That’s funny shit right there.

  59. Golly, Jeff Goldstein dun deleted all my posts. Must be because he’s uber unemployed, and as such, has vast uninterrupted stretches of leisure time to logically refute any possible arguments that he’s a lazy, lying hypocrite.

    Hmmm…I’m thinking ST might be the latest iteration of Willie the racist hilljack skin-flute player.

  60. Jeff G. says:

    Not willie. RD / inyoursoup, et al.

  61. Jeff G. says:

    By the way, as part of my leisure time, I think I’m going to learn how to play Bioshock and Dead Space this week while my wife is out of town on business. When I’m not teaching the boy to ride without training wheels.

    Ah. The good life! Thanks for reminding me that things could be a lot worse, ST. I mean, I could be you.

    There but for the grace of God, etc.

  62. bh says:

    What’s the IP address range for Iceland anyways? I’m sensing the dread hand of Björk at work here.

  63. happyfeet says:

    Bioshock! I want to play that was one of the ones I wanted when I was going to become a hardcore gamer but it passed now this one is the one what might make me decide to get my x-box on after I move to a new place.

  64. bh says:

    Rubicon is a good new show on AMC. That is all.

  65. happyfeet says:

    I saw the first episode of Rubicon on the hulu and I thought it was intriguing kind of, if very British

  66. Makewi says:

    I find video games a great way to reduce stress. My wife cannot understand how this could be given the amount of expletives that I direct at said games during an average gaming session.

    I don’t know if I ever mentioned this, but I spent the better part of a decade being the primary (sole) caregiver for my daughter. Despite the difficulties in that task, those were the best days of my life. I cannot see how anything could match them.

  67. Makewi says:

    I DVR’d the first 2 episodes of Rubicon last night and am looking forward to checking it out hopefully sometime soon. I have been less thrilled with Haven over on SciFi.

  68. Jeff G. says:

    Yeah. Being the primary care giver has been awesome, if a bit draining at times. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

    I get the feeling people like ST envy me. Not that I get to stay at home with my son — but that I’ve actually fucked before, and have some proof other than the stories I tell my homies when we get together to watch “Mad Men” and drink appletinis.

  69. happyfeet says:

    the Haven chick has all the charisma of a newly-elected HOA president I think

  70. B Moe says:

    When I’m not teaching the boy to ride without training wheels.

    The first great coming of age rite. Cherish it.

    Bioshock! I want to play that was one of the ones I wanted when I was going to become a hardcore gamer but it passed now this one is the one what might make me decide to get my x-box on after I move to a new place.

    If you really want to get hooked try one of the later Elder Scrolls games, Morrowind or Oblivion.

  71. happyfeet says:

    those sound cool too this is why I am wary

    I tend to immerse

  72. bh says:

    You wouldn’t trade it for the respect of a random troll, Jeff?

    Your priorities are just all mixed up.

  73. Jeff G. says:

    He’s not really “random,” bh. He is here all the time, under different names.

    I think he has a bit of a crush.

  74. pdbuttons says:

    i bought my kid a new set of training wheels/and he was all like/ehh/ like he didn’t really give a fluck
    but i promised him i’d get him a bike next year
    or i’d steal one and that kinda perked him up

  75. bh says:

    You never should have put up the Serpico picture in the left hand column, Jeff. It can have that effect on the trolls with daddy issues. They’re kinda like less intelligent strippers.

  76. happyfeet says:

    Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner pledged on Monday to move with speed to implement the biggest overhaul of the financial system since the Great Depression. He said that a top priority will be simplifying the complicated forms that consumers have to fill out to get credit cards, auto loans and mortgages.*

    these people’s prioritahs are extremely flucked I think… simpler credit card application forms?

    Really? That’s what you think America needs?

    You stupid piece of shit.

  77. Jeff G. says:

    Ooh. That last one got me 7 pages of previous comments under names like Hoohaw, NathanF and EbertPresident. All now gone.

    Liberating.

  78. bh says:

    So meya and RD might really be the same troll.

  79. happyfeet says:

    link fail at #78

  80. ST says:

    Jeff G is an unemployed, frightened little pussy who can’t handle responsibility.

    MACH IV!

  81. cranky-d says:

    I’m pretty sure ST thinks you’re violating its Constitutional rights to free speech. Keep it up!

  82. JD says:

    bh – They have always been the same pathetic little fuck. Feces flinging monkey, it is.

  83. Mr. W says:

    Jeff,

    For safety’s sake, you must be able to recognize the fine line between a troll ‘crushing’ on you, and one who is ‘stalking’ you because you’re so dreamy.

    ‘Crushing’ is when he pulls the image of you off of your site and blows it up to Teen Beat poster size. I’m pretty sure that picture of you in the tux is already taped to the ceiling of his room in his folk’s basement.

    ‘Stalking’ is when he tries to get it signed by kneeling in the bushes next to your door all night waiting for you.

    I would run outside and check the bushes real quick for a guy with an iPad. If you catch him, I’m betting he looks a lot like Sienfeld’s ‘Newman’ and Spencer Ackerman’s love child.

    Good luck, and let me know how the submission holds work in practice…

  84. Jeff G. says:

    Actually, I pay myself a nice wage for working as a full-time child care provider.

    I’m fucking rich, dude!

  85. JD says:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Khalid_Shaikh_Mohammed_after_capture.jpg

    This is what I picture meya/RD/ST/pfar/bdam/inyoursoup/Ebert/etal to look like.

  86. Jeff G. says:

    meya, RD, Hoohaw, inyoursoup, j-list, ommiemax, Answer Me!, Kaz, and on and on and on and on…

  87. happyfeet says:

    that one was the same as meya?

    wow.

  88. bh says:

    I suppose I was still sorta hoping it would be two separate trolls rather than one seriously creepy troll with separate personas, JD.

    What is it with the internet and crazy people? And, second question, what did all these nutjobs do before the internet?

  89. ST says:

    Jeff G hopes another relative dies soon so he can scam more bling off of idiots like Spiny Norman.

  90. newrouter says:

    Jeff G is an unemployed, frightened little pussy who can’t handle responsibility.

    little debbie debates are waiting your consideration

  91. Jeff G. says:

    Yeah, I’m the pussy, ST.

    And yet the only way you’d dare say some of the shit you say is because you hide behind screen names and IP anonymizers.

    Pathetic fuck.

  92. JD says:

    Now it is just getting vile. BH – the distinct personas are kind of creepy, no? Happyfeet – you always knew meya was vile.

  93. newrouter says:

    st sucks ruling class yachts

  94. B Moe says:

    I do understand why someone like that is a leftist, though. Can you imagine trying to survive on no more wit than that in anything but a nannystate?

  95. happyfeet says:

    I knew she was fascist and creepy I just didn’t know she was completely deranged… meya/RD always seemed like they were just kinda phoning it in.

  96. newrouter says:

    st sucks ruling party frumpy dick

  97. ST says:

    https://proteinwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/RD.jpeg

    Not by a long shot, but if you make me a sandwich I’ll tell you what RD stands for.

  98. newrouter says:

    nuke dc then mecca and tacos after such exertion.

  99. ak4mc says:

    ST is hoping for a mushroom bruise, I think. Closest it would ever get to actually having such equipment.

    It’s all stirred up over Palin’s “cojones” comment.

  100. JD says:

    ST licks smegma from underage goat nutsacks, without consent.

  101. newrouter says:

    I’ll tell you what RD stands for.

    the ussr anthem

  102. DarthRove says:

    I hereby decree that Jeff G. wins the internet.

  103. newrouter says:

    st i like gulags you?

  104. Mr. W says:

    ST is the quiet guy who never bothers the neighbors… You know, keeps to himself.

    He has a combover, and spends a lot of time alone with his thoughts.

    He really thought that Obama was the answer. He thought he would be less angry by now. Because the anger is eating him alive inside, and he can’t take it anymore…

    But there’s always Jeff, hovering like a spectre in the center of the room. And that goddamn jeff is everything he is not, and always rubbing his face in it. Jeff has a life and a blog that he can take or leave. Jeff has people who send him money when he asks. Jeff can write words that turn complex liberal arguments into dust.

    Jeff is his only meaning, and renders him meaningless.

  105. Mr. W says:

    ST knows what I write is true and retreats.

  106. Mr. W says:

    Bye ST. See you next screen name.

  107. Jeff G. says:

    Not by a long shot,

    Funny. You had it attached to your ID on one of the sites you commented on. Didn’t catch it in time, did you?

  108. JD says:

    ST buggers goats, when he is not licking that good good yummy smegma from his lips.

  109. bh says:

    The world of psychopharmacology has been advancing by leaps and bounds, meya. You don’t have to suffer like this.

  110. Jeff G. says:

    I love the “I don’t smile for cameras” pose coupled with the open shirt and “I can’t be bothered to comb my hair, because I’m too busy thinking deep thoughts” coif. So artsy.

  111. JD says:

    psycho is the operative part of that construct, bh.

  112. JD says:

    Jeff – I bet it has one of those tats that its ilk gets to show their individuality, and in showing same, gets yet another variation of the same thing as all those that came before it.

  113. happyfeet says:

    it looks like a guy but without shoulders

  114. Jeff G. says:

    It’s like Jason Schwartzman and Lenny Kravitz had a child, and the child grew up all angry at the Man — even though the Man was his father(s)!

  115. Mr. W says:

    Things you will not find on ST’s Facebook page:

    1. Pictures of ST laughing with friends.
    2. Pictures of ST laughing at all.
    3. List of ST’s many accomplishments.
    4. Comments from ST’s frends.
    5. Friends.

    Things you will find on ST’s Facebook page:

    1. An aching sense of loneliness and missed opportunities that has morphed into a powerless and impotent rage.

    Show. Me. I. Am. Wrong.

  116. JD says:

    Oh, no doubt it is impotent.

  117. John Bradley says:

    I bet it has one of those tats that its ilk gets to show their individuality

    Now he’s gettin’ a tattoo,
    Yeah, he’s gettin’ ink done
    He asked for a ’13’
    But they drew a ’31’

  118. newrouter says:

    Bye ST. See you next screen name.

    you go spence :)

  119. JD says:

    I just spent 6 hours on the phone with the cable company. ST ain’t shit.

  120. Mr. W says:

    I will go to bed thinking that my ‘stalking’ comment ran RD off. It was a good day.

  121. Jeff G. says:

    Uh huh. Face it, you fucked up. Shouting at me won’t change the fact.

    Besides. If it’s any consolation, I think you’d really appeal to chicks who dig the Jewfro.

  122. Mr. W says:

    Thanks newrouter.

    I think that someone with digital chops should blow that pic up and post it next to all of his comments. The dork in the picture will really take the edge off his infantile “Rage Against the Machine” worldview.

  123. happyfeet says:

    not if they like shoulders to hold onto while nuzzling the jewfro

  124. newrouter says:

    i was going for ; but did :

  125. Jeff G. says:

    That last IP got a bunch of Thumpers and Bloops and Hoohaws and a few others. More trash removed.

  126. JD says:

    RD licks his finger after diddling its squeakhole.

  127. bh says:

    I always end up feeling sorta bad for the crazy trolls in the end.

    Coed softball, meya. Chance to make some friends, little exercise, gets you out of the house once in awhile. Join a league and stay away from the internet for a few weeks. Just give it a try. Your life doesn’t have to be like this.

  128. bh says:

    Heh, coed softball can even help you grow shoulders.

  129. JD says:

    If meya played co-ed softball, she would be the bat boy/girl/it.

  130. Mr. W says:

    I just blew it up myself, and I was right! RD is Spencer Ackerman’s and Newman’s love child!

    Dude. In America, you don’t have to look like that.

  131. Jeff G. says:

    He’d refuse to bat. Because that’s just what the Man expects him to do.

  132. Jeff G. says:

    Mr W. Send me that blown up pic, if you wouldn’t mind.

  133. JD says:

    Is it one of those people that wears skinny black jeans and Chuck Taylor’s, because of the individuality?

  134. newrouter says:

    mach ii is ghey at least go for iii or iv

  135. Jeff G. says:

    Mach II gave us Jazz Odyssey by Derek Smalls.

    Never diss Mach II.

  136. pdbuttons says:

    the best part of coed softball is volunteering to wash everyones uniform
    and then when ur alone next to your laundry machine/right before u put the clothes in/ smelling the pants
    i denounce pw for making me make that joke

  137. Jeff G. says:

    Anybody have an iPhone? My wife might be getting one for work, and I’m wondering if it’s a good piece of hardware.

    If she gets one, I might get one with some Apple gift certificates I have — and if I do that, I might even learn to text. And Tweet!

    Suddenly I’ll be publicly available!

  138. I have a BlackBerry Storm – not sure how it compares with an iPhone, though.

  139. JD says:

    Jeff G – Better Half has the new Iphone 4g and loves it bunches and bunches. I think I am getting on in November when my contract is up.

  140. Jeff G. says:

    My wife’s been traveling a lot for work, so the iPhone 4 makes sense, because we can use Face Time and even IM.

    I’ve only ever had one cell phone — a Blackberry Pearl that’s probably 4-years old. Never learned how to type on it. Or use it at all, really.

  141. JD says:

    I have the CrackBerry Tour right now, and am pretty much a CrackBerry addict. But, the iphone is just cool, especially the newest one, when they get the kinks worked out, which they should by November.

  142. pdbuttons says:

    is derek smalls done writing his rock opera/magnum opus yet?
    cuz the record store clerk is sick of me asking him/her/it everyday
    “so/ did u get the new derek smalls album in yet?”

  143. Jeff G. says:

    Like luke warm water.

  144. pdbuttons says:

    i have this thing that resembles a keyboard with oversized keys and they have different snazzy colors on them/ and u can beat them with the hammer they gave u at checkout time/and u can make tones on it/and it’s so cool!- i communicate with bjork on it!
    and my trusty can/wire/can portable

  145. JD says:

    The smegma eating goat raper scurried back under its rock …

  146. happyfeet says:

    anonymizers are really sort of a pain I used to get youtubes at work that way but the whole tedious process wore me down

  147. ST says:

    Shouting at me won’t change the fact.

    Change what fact jeff? You found a 32*32 jpeg that has nothing to do with me.

    I supposed that’s a fact in the same sense that you always blame your failure to become the bestest blogger ever on your retarded kid.

    No doubt there are easily accessible records in the relevant state that can prove this.

    Just say’in.

    __

  148. happyfeet says:

    say’in

    that’s really a lot odd

  149. Jeff G. says:

    Attached to your comment ID. By pure chance, probably.

    Uh-yup.

    Tell me: are you doing that same scowly thing right now? So sexy.

    What are you wearing?

  151. B Moe says:

    I am starting to think he may have a point, that face would have been more scarred up if it were mated to this level of tenacious stupidity.

  152. JD says:

    Okay, now it is just going to amp up the vile.

  153. ST says:

    Attached to your comment ID. By pure chance, probably.

    Which post. Show me.

  154. Spiny Norman says:

    I love the “I don’t smile for cameras” pose coupled with the open shirt and “I can’t be bothered to comb my hair, because I’m too busy thinking deep thoughts” coif. So artsy.

    A Douchebag, in other words.

    Sooprise, sooprise…

  155. happyfeet says:

    show me show me show me how you do that trick

  156. JD says:

    Oh, Spiny. It is not even cool enough to get featured on that site. Even those guys would point and laugh at RD/meya.

  157. Spiny Norman says:

    Did ST/RD/meya get rejected at the Jersey Shore casting call? Is that why he’s such a shit?

  158. JD says:

    The one that made me scream oh yeah ?

  159. bh says:

    The one that makes me scream, she said.

  160. JD says:

    Great minds, bh. Great minds.

  161. Jeff G. says:

    Are you really making demands of me? Like, for reals you think I’m going to hop-to and do what you ask? Or that I have to prove anything to a guy who’s posted here under something like 20 names — and forgot to remove his photo from one of those IDs?

    You fucked up, RD, kdash, bdam, et al. Live with it.

    It ain’t my fault you look like something that oozed out of the tang of one of the Kardashian sisters.

  162. Squid says:

    After I followed the Google link for RD, I was all excited ‘cuz I figured RD was my neighbor Jeffrey who works for USDA’s Rural Development group. He works in the same building as me, so we see each other all the time at the park and in the skyways and on the bus and at lunch and I thought it would be really cool to ask him why he’s always hanging around at PW wasting everyone’s time and giving us all headaches ‘cuz we can’t decide whether to hate him or pity him or just pretend he’s not there.

    But Jeffrey doesn’t look anything like the tiny little icon guy. Plus, he’s happily married with kids and a professional career and hobbies and stuff. So I guess it wouldn’t make sense to ask him.

  163. JD says:

    I think it is one of timmah’s soulmates.

  164. bh says:

    Something else you could do, meya, is to figure out what events and decisions have caused you to become what you are today. Then you could travel to junior highs and boy scout groups sharing your cautionary tale.

    Maybe by helping them, you could begin to heal. Give it a thought. Also, remember, anti-psychotics and softball.

  165. JD says:

    And pick up whatever litter you see on the road.

  169. JD says:

    ST – Put your hands in the air, and step away from the small farm animal …

  170. bh says:

    I have a feeling that I’m not getting through to the poor soul. When you end up pulling a Carradine in a few years just remember that I tried to help.

  172. Ernst Schreiber says:

    ST –that stands for Serial Twatwaffle, doesn’t it?

  173. Jeff G. says:

    Still waiting for that imaginary link.

    Yes, but are you waiting with a scowl and your hair all disheveled and your shirt unbuttoned just so?

  174. Jeff G. says:

    I get emails every day from Obama asking me for free money. In my defense, at least I haven’t fucked up the world.

  175. happyfeet says:

    not fucking up the world isn’t a recognized defense anymore ask LiLo

  176. JD says:

    I just read a troll tell me that unemployment benefits are the most effective stimulus plan, and are the best way to save or create jobs. I kid you not.

  177. happyfeet says:

    was that hooten?

  178. JD says:

    Yes. It was breath taking.

  179. JD says:

    Well, yeah. SanFranNan made the same point, which was even more remarkable. How does the press not destroy her? Nevermind.

  180. JD says:

    She must have pictures. Lots of naughty pictures. Lots.

  181. ST says:

    Yes, but are you waiting with a scowl and your hair all disheveled and your shirt unbuttoned just so?

    Yes, always. I live for such occasions.

    Otherwise, we’ll have to assume that you’re a lying shill for a MACH I sleeper cell.

  182. cranky-d says:

    I unhammered for a moment to read some troll blather. What’s wrong with asking for money when you’re providing server space (which is not free) and content (which takes time to write and is therefore not free either)? No one has to kick in if they don’t want to, and they can STILL get free content and can muck around the comments until they finally act like complete tools and get deleted. You know how that goes, Super Tool. Amazingly, it happens so rarely that I can’t name more than a few people who got deleted in the last ten years. Most of the time troll stupidity gets to stay in print for all the world to see.

  183. JD says:

    ST – Does your head hurt often?

  184. Jeff G. says:

    Otherwise, we’ll have to assume

    Wait, “we’ll”?

    You do know that all your various names are still only you, right?

  185. happyfeet says:

    yes that’s definitely meya’s voice there

  186. JD says:

    And so says us …

  187. JD says:

    Perhaps it is a tapeworm.

  188. Pablo says:

    Haven’t seen Timmah! around in ages. Do you suppose he finally snapped?

  189. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Wait-a-minute, how many cylon models were there again?

  190. cranky-d says:

    Can tapeworms type?

  191. JD says:

    ST fucks billygoats. Bareback.

  192. bh says:

    Mike, was tapeworm a Filth reference?

    If so, you’re super awesome plus one.

  193. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Billygoats are too smart to fuck a scrunt like ST without protection.

  194. JD says:

    A film adaptation of Filth has been announced[2] and is due for release in 2011. It is to be directed by Jon S. Baird, from a script he co-wrote with Irvine Welsh.

  195. Perhaps it is a tapeworm.

    Come to think of it, a tapeworm would be the perfect mascot for today’s Democratic Party.

  196. Jeff G. says:

    Just admit it, Jeff.

    You lied, just like you always do.

    Lied about what, exactly? The fact that I grabbed that pic a long while ago and have held on to it? Nope, can’t say that I lied about that.

    Now, scowl for us. Like an angry little monkey.

  197. bh says:

    Wow, I didn’t see that, JD. I’d have thought the novel unfilmable. Will watch that for sure, just to see how they attempt it.

  198. JD says:

    If you wore skinny jeans that scrunched up your already shriveled little nutsack and itty bitty pee pee like ST, you would scowl too.

  199. Mike, was tapeworm a Filth reference?

    If so, you’re super awesome plus one.

    I’m not that awesome, I’m afraid. I had to Google Filth to find out what it is. Looks like a fascinating novel.

  200. JD says:

    I don’t see how they can incorporate that either, bh. But I will prolly go watch, and then realize that I was they had not tried.

  201. bh says:

    Can you do Blue Steel, tapeworm?

  202. JD says:

    People, if you spent 4 hours sneaking up on an underage goat, so you could assbang it and then run away, and it turns out that the goat didn’t even notice your 4 seconds of heaven, wouldn’t you scowl too?

  203. bh says:

    It’s my favorite of his novels, Mike. Definitely recommend it.

  204. Thanks, bh. I see that a sequel – Crime – was published a couple of years ago. I’ll read them both.

  205. Pablo says:

    Now I have a vision in my head of ST trapping squirrels for purposes I will not allow myself to imagine any further. Thanks, JD!

  206. happyfeet says:

    does anyone know where to get salt bagels in LA? They don’t even have them at Noah’s.

  207. ST says:

    Now, scowl for us. Like an angry little monkey.

    You first.

    Dickhead.

  208. pdbuttons says:

    don’t mind when monkeys scowl or run around thir cages and make ee ee high pitched sounds/ or when they wtake their monkey shit and are preparing to whip it in ur face/ that’s all cool/ i can deal with that/ thats a human/animal deal understanding we have..
    but when monkeys get silent/ and bjork appears with that impish grin in the reflection of the monkey house window
    that’s when i’m doing a curly and patting my forehead and going/ whoop whoop whoop
    and running
    hope u or ur kids don’t get trampled/ but ur gonna die anyway

  209. Pablo says:

    That pic is pretty small and lo res, but I think I see a mushroom bruise on that enormous forehead.

  210. Jeff G. says:

    Poor RD/ST. His need to get the last word just keeps giving me the IP addresses he uses. And that gives me scads of comments to delete from his various names.

    He’s like Bender in Breakfast Club: he knows he’s going to get another week of detention for opening his mouth, but he’s just to proud and scowly to back down.

    I think it has to do with the unbuttoned shirt.

  211. Jeff G. says:

    Oh. And why did he link to his own pic, above?

  212. pdbuttons says:

    the last word is rosebud

  213. Spiny Norman says:

    Oh. And why did he link to his own pic, above?

    Raging ego got the better of him?

  214. Spiny Norman says:

    I see what you did there.

    ;^)

  215. happyfeet says:

    thank you!! and there’s one in my zone I forgot about that cause I’ve never been to it

  216. Pablo says:

    Think of me if you have the Nova sangwich on a Salt, k?

  217. happyfeet says:

    ok I might could get one for lunch when I go I just wanted them for steak sammiches but that sounds tasty too

  218. bh says:

    If you’re bringing them into the office, get the lox. No one ever brings the lox. They get the blueberry bagel with the fruity cream cheese though. Because they hate me.

  219. Pablo says:

    And they’re heathens.

  220. Jeff G. says:

    I watched “The Closer,” made some delicious hummus, and enjoyed a glass of Jameson’s — all while ST/RD scurried around trying to find a workable IP to get past the bans and spam filter. So he could leave a comment on my blog.

    Yup. That’s what he did with his evening.

    I own this bitch.

  221. bh says:

    Yes. Yes, they are.

  222. Spiny Norman says:

    Dance little troll. Dance!

  223. bh says:

    I’m one more food comment away from raiding the fridge.

  224. I sorta mentioned it earlier, but I could really use some help finding a new home for my dog.

  225. Jeff G. says:

    I guess I just don’t get the zing.

  226. happyfeet says:

    she’s beautiful maggie if I were in Texas I would be in my car already she reminds me of my border collie/lab

  227. bh says:

    Yeah, that was about the weakest something of all time. I’ll link to your wiki page!

    Sorry I can’t help you Maggie. Good looking dog though.

  228. happyfeet says:

    I’m in love

  229. Jeff G. says:

    We already have two, Maggie. Otherwise I’d be in. Sorry.

  230. ST says:

    I guess I just don’t get the zing.

    Billy Jack.

  231. yes, well, she’s lovely, but we can’t convince her that kittehs are not for snacking.

  232. bh says:

    I’m sure Mister Kitty could set her straight. But, he might go too far. Like Bjork.

  233. hmmmm, we have had Mister Kitty’s services offered. Maybe I should take him up on that.

  234. Jeff G. says:

    Yup, still don’t get the zing. But I did get another page of Hoohaw and btas comments deleted. So there’s that.

  235. Yup, still don’t get the zing.

    oh good, so it’s not just me.

  236. ST says:

    Yup, still don’t get the zing.

    Dude…Billy Jack.

    Oh, and you never did produce that link.

    I guess that makes you a liar. Again.

  237. happyfeet says:

    maggie if you hang in there and if my new place lets me have wuppers I have to go back to Texas this year and renew my driver’s license and then I will definitely take her and love her forever cause of she looks just like my dog pook who died when my mom put him to sleep cause of my dad died and pook had the arthritis and mom was afraid she couldn’t care for him and she was so scared pook was gonna fall in the pool again and she wouldn’t be able to help him.

  238. happyfeet says:

    no clear idea yet when I’m getting the new place though

  239. happyfeet says:

    and the tumors

  240. Jeff G. says:

    Nope. Still no zing effect from the Billy Jack thing.

    Although the “liar” charge is really starting to smart a bit.

  241. we’ll see what happens feets. We’re determined not to take her back to the shelter, and in the mean time keep working with her til we find her a new home.

  242. ST says:

    Although the “liar” charge is really starting to smart a bit.

    Fine. Then link the post where I allegedly linked that pic.

    Otherwise, you’re lying. Why is that so hard?

  243. sdferr says:

    Ha!

    Ironically, Arizona’s most effective remedy might be to follow the course paved by the Obama administration weeks ago, when it lost a similar preliminary decision in the offshore drilling moratorium case: Rather than pursue appeals all the way to the Supreme Court, the Obama administration swiftly acted to correct what the district court found defective.

    In this case, Arizona could follow the Obama administration’s example by amending SB 1070 to make perfectly clear that not every arrest requires INS involvement. The Obama administration would then need to convince Judge Bolton to hold that federal law preempted the new statute, despite the fact that the heart of the judge’s prior analysis no longer applied. That may well prove to be swifter remedy than could be found in the overworked (and consistently left-leaning) Ninth Circuit.

  244. Jeff G. says:

    Who says you linked a pic of yourself? It was attached to one of your comment IDs. Shows up in some blog software next to the commenter, like where someone would have an avatar. I grabbed it from an administration page. A long time back. It’s been sitting in a file on my computer ever since.

    Sucks for you. You fucked up, brother. Own it.

    But first, give us a little bit of that unbuttoned shirt and scowl thang you do. Magical!

  245. happyfeet says:

    ok good luck

  246. happyfeet says:

    that’s both expedient and wise Mr. sdferr and might could neatly table the issue very quickly

    check and mate lady gaga

  247. Jeff G. says:

    Can’t wait to enlarge the pic and add it to my sidebar. Like a wanted poster. That’d be tits.

  248. happyfeet says:

    she’s really not at all an apartment dog though is she

  249. yeah, not so much happyfeet. unless you like running a lot.

  250. happyfeet says:

    if I said yes I would be kind of lying

    Comment by Jeff G. on 8/2 @ 10:26 pm #

    Oh. And why did he link to his own pic, above?

    But first, give us a little bit of that unbuttoned shirt and scowl thang you do. Magical!

  254. happyfeet says:

    you did link to your own pick it was weird

  255. happyfeet says:

    *pic* I mean

  256. Looks like ST/RD is just having a conversation with the voices in his head now.

  257. Jeff G. says:

    Oh, are you talking about this comment of yours, where the link goes to your pic?

    That’s some crazy shit.

  258. pdbuttons says:

    im not lying or being a punk/ i want that dog!/ will love it/ but i think it will love me more/ it might protect me somewhat from the coming onslaught known as bjork
    or warn me by waking me up with it’s nose and barking/ bjork hates close bonds between species/ thats why you gotta wear a vest from banana republic and fill all the pockets with kittens while wearing a beatles wig and talking like ur christianne amanpour/ i want that dog! really do!
    i got water here and…food
    think i got some cheese in the meat drawer and i only gotta cut off the hard cheese end to give her cheesy goodness/ but i think she’d like hard cheese if i gave it to her and wag and
    lick my face with gusto /shit/i’d pick up her shit when i walked her with designer bags and bring a little spray bottle of perfumed water and spray it in the air and act like truman capotejust saved the world from a janis joplin cunt fart
    i would!/ it ain’t the dog needs me/ it’s i need the dog!/ plus/ if i’m busy with the dog/ i won’t be posting ramblings on this site/ which may or may not be a good thing
    one question tho/ if an avalanche or some other nature disaster happens and im trapped/ can she bring me booze?/i don’t care if it’s under her neck/ it could be up her ass/ tho that would be my last choice
    gotta rename it tho

  259. ST says:

    Way to link my posts, Jeff. No doubt I’m a drooling douche.

    ___

  260. Jeff G. says:

    Why yes, I believe that you are.

    How refreshingly candid of you!

  261. cranky-d says:

    Wow, an honest troll. Stopped clocks and all that, I guess.

  262. Republican on Acid says:

    The thing that pisses me off about this “new” revolution is how it cowtows to the old granny church of feel bad. When are republicans and conservatives going to realize that it IS NOT their business what people do to their bodies?
    It is a horrible thing that all of you “cool cats” are going to deal with symbolically because you have MONEY. Just imagine for a second you “drug habit” without a high profile lawyer. Can you really imagine it? Or if not you yourself, can you imagine selling your own son or daughter down the road for “the betterment of society?” Can you? Fuck you then, you aren’t a conservative. You do NOT believe in freedom.

  263. pdbuttons says:

    my opponent is trying to sully my name by implying i/burp/ have eaten puppies or/burp/shipped them off to/burp/north korea
    not true!/ and there are rumours out there that i may have dangle a half eaten rib bone over a cliff so the dog would jump up and snap at it and fall 8 feet and also
    not true!/ what about the time i heard my german sheperd crying from pain cuz she was running and stepped on a board with a nail in it and i carried her in the car and had dog bloodon me and drove her to the vet/my opponent doesnent want to talk about that/no/
    and the time i took my pug down the park and let him play and then of heading home i took him for a walk to the gas station to buy a carton of cigs and as we where heading home he got all poopy out and was dragging his ass
    who picked him up and carried him home?/ not my opponent/ no/ sure/ he talks baby talk and tries to touch ur stomach on the campaign trail/but in private/will he?/no! cuz he’s a fuckety fuck
    i will rub dogs stomachs and tal baby talk with them?/i will/ thats a promise

  264. ST says:

    I was just kidding before.

    Everyone should send as much money as possible to Jeff G.

    Every single day. Even if he tells you not to.

    I know I will…

  265. Democrat on Dope says:

    Far out, man.

  266. Libertarian on Smack says:

    “………”

  267. Hunter Thompson on Adrenochrome says:

    “finish… the fucking… story!”

  268. Stereotypical Gay Guy on Meth says:

    “Someoneth going to have to clean this meth up, and ith not going to be me!”

    drugs are bad m’kay

  270. Evan3457 says:

    I just…yesterday. Before you put this up. Does that mean I gotta…

    Oh, all right.

  271. Rusty says:

    Um. Bad news, Jeff. I woke up this morning and there was only four dollars left and just a couple of ‘cets, man. I’m pretty sure last night involved a pint of Kesslers and a BJ. I just don’t know if the BJ was a guy or a very ugly girl. Anyway I’m sending the rest on to you before I do myself anymore mischief.

  272. DarthRove says:

    I said it almost 200 comments ago: Jeff G. wins the internet.

    Let’s put it another way: Jeff G. = Brewers. ST = Cubs on Monday night.
    Or this: Jeff G. = John Matrix. ST = Sully.

  273. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Jeff G. = Bond, James Bond. ST = Jimmy Bond

  274. JD says:

    Jeff G = any team not named the Cubs, and ST/RD/meya/etal = Cubs. Though it is really a low point when the Brewers punk you.

  275. BJTexs says:

    I’m gonna pay my 5 bucks and have a seat in ST’s head … for the cartoon marathon.

  276. BJTexs says:

    Enough of this: OT, Chris Hitchens meets and spends time with Hugo Chavez.

    His conclusion? Batshit crazee!

    There’s another opportunity for a cartoon marathon, only with necrophilia and megalomania.

  277. BJTexs says:

    Heh! We have a winner!

    Chávez, in other words, is very close to the climactic moment when he will announce that he is a poached egg and that he requires a very large piece of buttered toast so that he can lie down and take a soothing nap.

  278. LTC John says:

    Jeff, now I have had some folks that I would not call “reasonable” take a strong dislike to me….but it was always business (Jaish al Mahdi, Hezb-Islami Gulbuddin, et c.) … you do seem to draw the crazy ones, however. Can’t say I envy you. This one is quite up there in the obsessed/stalky type behavior, however. So do be careful, right?

  279. george smiley says:

    Well Colonel, that’s a badge of honor, in my book, but you’re right considering the previous precedent

  280. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Comment by ST on 8/3 @ 12:02 am #

    Way to link my posts, Jeff. No doubt I’m a drooling douche.

    Finally, a moment of truth out of this asshole.

    As for the Rye whiskey, Jeff. Have you had Bulleit, yet? Affordable and a very good pour.

  281. LTC John says:

    george, imagine the sheer amount of time that multi-name troll has poured into all the comments, switching around IP addresses/proxies… not healthy at all, I should think.

  282. JD says:

    Fav-ruh retires, again.

  283. Spiny Norman says:

    His conclusion? Batshit crazee!

    There’s another opportunity for a cartoon marathon, only with necrophilia and megalomania.

    Even batshit crazee necrophile meglomaniacs have their fans: I notice in the comments, the Kool-aid drinkers have leapt to mad Emperor Hugo’s defense.

  284. cranky-d says:

    Up until now, Favre has not worn out my patience. However, if he changes his mind again, he will, and I think that will be true of many Vikings fans.

    There is no reason for him to quit now, he had a great year last year. But if he’s done, he’s done. I don’t believe it, though.

  285. bh says:

    The Packers might have a chance this year.

  286. george smiley says:

    I compare him to the Dictator Diaz in Woody Allen’s “Bananas” back when he was still funny:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066808/quotes

  287. bh says:

    Hugo Chavez or Brett Favre?

  288. george smiley says:

    Hugo, why would you think I was thinking of Favre

  289. BJTexs says:

    Heh, Spiny. the following comment is telling:

    Christopher Hitchens: “Attacking Iraq = Good! (1 million + Iraqis dead), Attacking Iran = Good!”

    Your standards seem a little off in terms of what is “nasty” and ” go down and help”.

    Ya gots to love the socialists when it comes to discourse. this was after referring to Hitchens as an “alcoholic neocon.” no doubt this tool is fully on board with the idea that anybody who has anything critical to write about Mr. Potato Head should be judged not on the factual nature of what he wrote but on previous views held on unconnected topics. No doubt the hero of the peoples would be just fine with silencing and/or jailing opposing views of his hero.

  290. bh says:

    Just joking, George.

  291. Big Bang Hunter says:

    “I would run outside and check the bushes real quick for a guy with an iPad.”

  292. george smiley says:

    That one can fill in for the Russian spy that was working for El Diario

    BBH, I guess it is better than hhaving them climb up a bell tower with a rifle…them working their rage out here, I suppose. Doesn’t make it any nicer for Jeff, however.

    ST would never climb a belltower. There is nothing so precious to liberals as the little Jewfro hairs on his scowling little head.

    RD really has got that plus-size Zoolander vibe working.

    Ooh, look at me! I’m chubby and complicated at the same time!

  304. Mr. W says:

    I think Iowahawk’s “juice box mafia” tweet may have been the death knell for groups of sullen junior Chavez liberals made up of guys like RD.

    When someone pegs your clique that hard, and it’s that accurate, and it’s that demeaning, it’s really long past time to break up the band.

    There’s a lot of angry young liberals out there who are no longer sure that the party furiously stuffing fake printed money in its pants is really the one that is going to bring social justice to the masses.

    And they know it.

    Was that Iowahawk that christened the Juicebox Mafia? Brilliant shit, that.

  307. Mr. W says:

    It was indeed the National Treasure known as Iowahawk.

    Too lazy to check, but that’s going off the top of my head.

    I am sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. My condolences to you and your family.

  319. Mr. W says:

    Mendoucheous twatwaffle is good, I agree. But the phrase Juice Box Mafia captures the essence of the Journolisters so perfectly that I am suddenly seeing it pop up everywhere.

    This is not good news for the pimply little kids that (based on a cursory examination of Journolist commenters) seem to form the backbone of liberal thought these days.

  320. Mr. W says:

    Is Spencer Ackerman going to have to choke a bitch?

  321. bh says:

    Wasn’t Iowahawk.

    Noah Pollak over at Contentions coined it.*

  322. bh says:

    Here‘s a post on it’s origin and meaning back in late 2008.

  323. bh says:

    it’s=its

  324. Mr. W says:

    bh. You seem smart. Pleece esplains to me.

    Disclaimer: I never went to college because I am teh stupid, but please enlighten me (I really mean that).

    I never understood that it’s/its thing. If writing “the ‘saying’s’ origin” is correct(possession of the origin by the saying), then why is it incorrect to substitute “it’s” for “saying’s”.

    Does the ‘it’s’ not possess? Are we holding the ‘it’s’ down? Is the ‘it’s’ 3/8 of a past participle? No justice no gender!

    I’m into my second Gin & Juice so I sorry is for the syntax are.

  325. Mr. W says:

    Dammit! I must know! Answer me, bh!

  326. Mr. W says:

    Oh, and thanks for the correction. I hate to pass on misinformation unless it’s (!) about a relative.

  327. bh says:

    I think “its” possessive is like “hers” or “yours” but that simply expands the question, I suppose, Mr. W. Don’t know the real answer to tell you the truth.

  328. bh says:

    Wait, maybe it’s that they’re all pronouns. Maybe.

    Yeah, no idea.

  329. Mr. W says:

    You are not as helpful as I had hoped you would be.

    What about our resident troll with the bad hair and men’s furnishings? He went to college! Nobody could possibly be that stupid without long exposure to leftist apparatchiks posing as educators.

    ST/RD (which I believe stands for Sexually Transmitted Rectal Disease) What of it?

  330. cranky-d says:

    “it’s” is short for “it is,” while “its” is the possessive pronoun. Many people put in the “‘” when it should not be there. When in doubt, if you can expand the “it’s” to “it is” and not change the meaning, you need the “‘” but if you cannot, you don’t.

    However, there are cases in which the “‘” is part of a possessive, like “My car’s ashtray is full.” However, “My car’s going too slow” is of course used to indicate a contraction.

    Simple plurals, like “cars,” “boats,” etc don’t need the “‘” and in fact it is incorrect to use it.

    I should be working.

  331. cranky-d says:

    Well, that didn’t turn out well. I didn’t want to write “apostrophe” all the time, so I put the ‘ in quotes, so it is buried in many places.

  332. Mr. W says:

    From Commentary:

    “We are seeing a party (Democratic) and movement (liberalism) in the process of collapsing. That doesn’t mean the ruin will be permanent and irreversible; but it is happening at a remarkable speed. And it is somewhat astonishing to witness.

    Call it the collateral effects of the Obama presidency.”

    There will come a day when you will tell your children of a man named Mr. W, a handsome and brilliant man nobody ever even met, a man who said on Protein Wisdom it’s (!) own self that this would happen, and said it before Barry was even elected by Journolists who get their news from People and Mother Jones (same diff).

  333. Mr. W says:

    Thanky Cranky! I understood not a word, but your disquisition on the subject was illuminating if only for the staggering density of “‘s.

    To be fair, I am at this point slouching toward “hammered”.

  334. bh says:

    Okay, the internet says it’s because they’re possessive pronouns. So, I guess it’s just one of those many arbitrary usage rules.

  335. bh says:

    Cranky beat me.

  336. Mr. W says:

    Cranky! I get it now!

    His’

    No. No I don’t.

    Nevermind.

  337. Mr. W says:

    If only Jeff was here.

    He makes the words dance to a tune that only he knows.

    He went to college and turned his prof’s into Reagan conservatives.

    He bedded coeds when they were completely sober.

    He can penetrate the it’s/its cloak of obscurity.

    Yes. He can.

  338. bh says:

    He once landed a roundhouse kick on Chuck Norris.

  339. Mr. W says:

    These are not the pronouns you are looking for…

  340. Mr. W says:

    Without moving his leg!

  341. crankyfeet says:

    His, her, their, and its are possessive as they sit. Example: “The baseball park has a charm all its own.”

    It’s is a contraction, short for “it is.” “It’s a hot day.” “It is a hot day.” They mean the same thing.

    I cannot think of any situation in which “her’s” or “their’s” is correct, ever.

  347. Mr. W says:

    No doubt, Spiny.

    I would follow Joe Biden’s tweets though. Can you imagine the cognitive dissonance mixed with apoplectic lunacy that his tweets would possess?

    He reminds me of a friendly Charles Manson. Yeah, he’s crazy, and he might be dangerous* if given any real responsibility, but there’s something appealing about stupid people like Joe.

    *Not Barry dangerous, more “inspector Clouseau with plugs” dangerous. Things in the Oval Office would get broken.
