1. jeff g,
its not like the readers don’t hit steve when they feel like it. plus, jeralyn has had two posts, one dissing condi as a pres candidate (though she had the guts to put up a nice bottle of vodka over the bet) and one smacking kansas for no discernible reason except sneering.
sorry that we haven’t bowed down at her feet, but consider me underwhelmed by a “take my ball and go home” reaction.
i generally like your stuff, i generally love steve’s stuff, and i usually spit bile at jeralyn. hence why i have steve bookmarked and check daily, follow links to your site and occasionally remember to check in, and have seen jeralyn’s site a few times, mostly due to that fight over the dean campaign and what it intended with paying kos “consulting fees”.
sure you can go home, but i think one of the bennies of this guest hosting gig was added exposure to steve’s audience. we’re reading his site and seeing what you’ve got, you’re providing some stuff and ideally getting some new readers.
ok, so your elevator joke bombed and jeralyn’s leftieness ain’t winning many friends. whatever.
jer will probably enjoy pissing us off, and you got some decent love for the leif garret riff. andy’s feeling some serious love with the alabama dildos.
will has been fairly well adopted here. some of these things will work out, some won’t, but there’s no need to get quite as pissy. i do hope that you’re just heckling back and will keep the show going.
it’s nice that you guys are at vodka’s and i hope a couple posts that didn’t work and some negative feedback don’t run you off (jeralyn… well now thats different, in that its political)
cheers,
hey
(maintaining anonymity as i can sometimes get angry and have posted too much as hey that i don’t want to “reveal"… i’m a kid and don’t want everything to be permanently googleable)2. jeff,
love the (dis) information minister pic. excellent photoshop.
you didn’t post this or the jack kerouac on the couch at vodka’s… they seem much more in tune there than your elevator joke. use your best material dude! please! cause you are funny, and in the same vein as steve. i’m sure you’d be killing if you posted those two posts at steve’s!
the response of protein wisdom:
Dear Hey,
I appreciate your earnest evaluation of my abilities. But what you don’t seem to understand is that you are here to amuse me.
Don’t fret, though. It takes some getting used to.
Cheers,
Jeff

HA! Perfect.
I don’t understand. Is that from the Office of Blogosphere Management? ‘Cause maybe he’s just fishing for some red pills or pie.
for some reason it’s funnier there, then here.
Sort of like the way that Green posting a picture of some 9,130 piece Lego set (Hoover Dam … in Legos!!) would be funny here, but not there.
Or something.
Turing word: eatshitanddie
hmmm… Turing’s a bit grumpy this morning.
My email from Clovis Smitz beats yours from “hey.” If you’re gonna criticize, keep it short and sweet, that’s what I say.
’Tis why I kept my response short, Andrea.
I think I might spend the next week posting nonsense on Vodkapundit. Just because.
Fuckin A. Gotta get your entertainment where you can.
Newbies. Gotta love ‘em.
Just compare OUR comments on the elevator post to the Vodkapundit people’s responses. Where are the nostalgic trips down memory lane, the erudite allusions to TV series gone by, the implied bestiality, the FART JOKES? Jeff needs to train the Vodkapundit people the way he has trained us. At one word from Jeff, the deepest regions of their cerebral cortices should IMMEDIATELY generate quips, which should INSTANTANEOUSLY devolve into obscenities laced with Monty Python references and preferably end in the sexual harassment of all assembled. Jeff should not have to do any work at all. Jeff should not mean but be.
pw is the signifier, haunted by the ghosts of all its potential signifieds…
So howcome Vodka Pundit has all those pretty colours and this joint is monochrome with frikken orange dots? Turing word “southern”… well everything is south of here.
Hey Goldstein, that’s my schtick!

Oh, and Barthes wants a word with you too. JD
Turing word: semiotic. No, surely that’s meant for the dentist thread…
Don’t forget Paul D. He likes to empty the signifier entirely. The dirty little bitch.
Now you’ve out-arcaned me. Who he?
Paul De Man.
Oh, him.
That was a thread-killer,wasn’t it?
Spam word: Natural, as in “It is natural for people to shrink in horror from the musings of European academics.”
When I shrink I try not to let anybody know.
Ah, the pretensions of youth vs. the smackdown of experience…
I always pity people who lack a sense of whimsy. Don’t know how they can stand to go through life like that.
I LIKED the elevator joke.
Turing word: slowly.
I SLOWLY liked the elevator joke.
I know who Paul De Man was. Who’s Steve?
[N.B. I know who Steve is – I think. I didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday. Well actually, I did… but that’s because the bus was late and my probabation officer was expecting me…]
Pappy,
“Steve” is Stephen Green, the host of Vodkapundit, where Jeff is currently cross-posting. While “Steve” is on the lam.

I’m pretty sure Steve would be on an adult sheep, not a lam. He’s discreet.
In related news:
Hey’s capital letters have been spotted in a video released on an Islamic website late Tuesday, bound and gagged and pleading for their lives. Hey was refused to comment when asked if reports that negotiations were underway to pay a ransom for the release of the captive capitals.
Developing…
Aw, crap. I noticed after I pressed the post button the inapproriate use of the passive in the second sentence (should be refused, not was refused). I tried to pull it back out of the network cable and all I got was a bunch of binary on my hands. 1s and 0s everywhere. Which…that’s just nasty.
Oh, Vodkapundit – that Steve! I haven’t looked at his blog since, well, since Christmas (what with that Santa-gig gone bad and all…).
