    What about Otis Day and the Knights?

  2. Jeff G. says:

    This place has gone to shit. Or I have.

    Either way.

  3. ak4mc says:

    That song is like what Rahm Emmanuel has whenever he imagines dancing the part of Clara in “The Nutcracker”?

  4. TaiChiWawa says:

    The walrus was Paul.

  5. She said lovemelovemeloveme…

  6. DarthRove says:

    Someone’s been listening the Jukebox o’ Cheese again, hasn’t one?

  7. Pablo says:

    One would think that “made sweet love to me” would have been a clue fo yo ass.

  8. Steve says:

    Justin Bieber:

    “I’m Baby Baby Baby Ooooh I’m like Baby Baby Baby Ooooh I’m like Baby Baby Baby Ooooh”

    Hats Off, Gentlemen, a Genius!

  9. Squid says:

    This here 1977 O’Day is sorta like a wet dream, if you’re of a certain type.

  10. Carin says:

    I’ve been at work all day, but has this been mentioned to Jeff?

    It doesn’t mentioned a bedazzled shell, so I’m hopeful it’s not our little fella.

  11. Carin says:

    ah, yes, I see. Previous thread.

    stupid work.

    Getting in the way of teh funnah.

  12. Blake says:

    ……
    Stopping at her house is a neighbor boy with evil on his mind
    Cos he’s been peeking in Angie’s room
    At night through the window blind
    I see your folks have gone away
    Won’t you dance with me today
    I’ll show you how to have a good time
    Angie baby…you’re a special lady..

  13. geoffb says:

    OT: Woody woodie.

    Well I could say 1977 was the last time he was funny to bring some of the topic in.

  14. serr8d says:

    How about a post on the semiotics of “Scott Thomas” Blumenthal’s misplaced words ? Blumenthal invented, over a period of some 40 years, a Vietnam war record out of thin and rarefied air…his own spoken breath.

    Yeah, I know, he’s not a writer, so there’s no semiotics work needed. But I had to get that alignment out there before someone else did.

  15. serr8d says:

    What the? is the page for broken links?

  16. sdferr says:

    Derek Slap, a veteran Democratic operative in Hartford, compared Mr. Blumenthal’s statements with Hillary Rodham Clinton’s false claim in 2008 that she had landed in Bosnia “under sniper fire” in 1996, when she was first lady.

    “It dominated a few news cycles and then it went away,” Mr. Slap said. “It wasn’t the end of Hillary Clinton.”

    “…and then it went away”.

    Except that here you are talking about it Mr. Slap. And no doubt you’ll be talking about it years down the road. So did it go away? Nope. And is Hillary Clinton, despite not having met her metaphorical end, not still a liar of some note? Yes. And won’t Mr. Blumenthal be a liar of note in future, whatever may come of his political career? Yes, he will be. And is that the sort of man Nutmeggers want? We’ll have to wait and see, outside any judgment we may pass on their having returned Chris Dodd to office again and again.

    blummy rambo flashbacks i think

  18. ak4mc says:

    “It wasn’t the end of Hillary Clinton.”

    He’s right — and she’s turned out to be a surprisingly popular President.

    […]

    What? You’re kidding. No way!

  19. not bh, he's still working says:

    Bye-bye, Arlen.*

  20. serr8d says:

    A bit of good news. Arlen Specter is finished, done, through, out. Oh, and a “Randslide” in Kentucky.

  21. dicentra says:

    Not to be a buttinsky, but I had to add another item to this post today.

    Of course on the ‘tubez, getting the last word doesn’t work the way it does in the meatworld. Noticed? When you send an email and you don’t get an answer, your interlocutor has just said “I’m too busy/important/bored to deal with you anymore.”

    The goal is to send the penultimate message.

  22. dicentra says:

    Also, with Specter’s defeat, you can expect Pat Gray to be in fine form on Beck’s program tomorrow. His “Specter voice” is so good it makes you want to claw your eyes out.

    Or his. Whichever.

  23. sdferr says:

    Have you bothered to read any of the late stuff dicentra? Is it worth the effort, slight though that might be, or is it just more of the same we’ve seen the last half-week? And have you seen the nice summation Ernst has put at the tail-end of “a few final words…”?

    And Penn-12 stays greedy. Amazing.

  24. Jeff G. says:

    I have a feeling Patrick won’t like my conversations with a textualist series one bit, should I decide to go that route…

  25. oh no! however shall we go on?

  26. cranky-d says:

    I understand the asparagus has been reading PF’s site a lot lately, and is really digging on that textualist stuff. Perhaps it can be your foil.

  27. dicentra says:

    Have you bothered to read any of the late stuff dicentra?

    No, and I have absolutely no egrets about it, either.

    It’s Humpty Dumpty’s appearance that gives it away: the distorted view of Jeff’s position is far more useful to him than the clear one. If he concedes Jeff’s position, he has to walk back a truck-load of posts, and then he’ll have nothing else to write about, because he can’t write about it anywhere nearly as eruditely as Jeff can.

    Best keep looking for the keys under the streetlight.

  28. dicentra says:

    I thought I’d drag this into a newer thread from the “final words” post, because everyone should see it:

    Jeff wins the thread, the blog, and the ‘tubez with this response to Andrew, who had just indicated that he’d defended Jeff’s position over at PP:

    They will aggressively ignore your point or restate it so it doesn’t resemble your point — and attribute it to you, Andrew. So don’t bother.

    Had they any sense of irony, they’d realize that they’ve been performing my argument for me in their cynical and dishonest zeal to beat it back.

  29. serr8d says:

    Undercover Angel didn’t do a damned thing for me. But O’Day’s ’74 Angie Baby, now, left a memory-mark. Reminds of another edgy supra-natural classic.

  30. serr8d says:

    Re: the co-writer of my 2nd link there, Shel Silverstein, was likely an intentionalist…

    Silverstein believed that written works needed to be read on paper—the correct paper for the particular work. He usually would not allow his poems and stories to be published unless he could choose the type, size, shape, color and quality of the paper. Being a book collector, he took seriously the feel of the paper, the look of the book, the fonts and the binding. Most of his books did not have paperback editions because he did not want his work to be diminished in any way.

  31. Pablo says:

    O’Day was no Jay Ferguson, that’s for sure.

  32. LTC John says:

    Jeff, perhaps the din sum leftovers could have a chat with the textualist?

  33. DarthRove says:

    Shel Silverstein, was likely an intentionalist…

    …or a control freak, YMMV.

  34. cranky-d says:

    Jay Ferguson is doing teevee work these days, it seems. It’s a long way from Thunder Island.

  35. Slartibartfast says:

    She’s just a devil woman.

  36. Blake no longer Pres Obama says:

    Personally, I’m waiting for the armadillo to come down off the red pill high and expound eloquently about textualism.
