It’s a little early for most Stupid Tweet of The Day … [Darleen Click]

But I think we’ve found a winner …

Note to Sally: Anime has got this covered.

    There is always plenty of cross dressing in cartoons, does that not count?

  2. McGehee says:

    @SallyKohn keep your filthy paws off the Disney kids’ films, you damned dirty progg.

  3. BigBangHunter says:

    – Sally looks “handsome” enough to be best man at any wedding.

  4. Darleen says:

    In watching the BBC “Sherlock” I’ve been laughing how they subtly mock slash fantasies.

    In the first couple of seasons, people around Sherlock & John just assume they’re a gay couple. Since as an audience we know this isn’t true, it points out the ridiculous (and sad) way male friendships are viewed.

    The third season opener had one character, a “Sherlock Lives” fan – completely in Goth costume, fantasizing a romantic kiss between Sherlock and Moriarty.

    I fell off my chair laughing.

  5. serr8d says:

    Filthy swine.

    Disclaimer: Gays can have a “Gay Marriage”. Never can they have a “Traditional Marriage”. There’s always and forever a mark on gay marriage; an asterisk, if you will.

    Gays need learn that, understand and accept that, and quit pushing whilst they’re ahead.

  6. bgbear says:

    She seems to have a basic misunderstanding about royalty and succession works.

    missing “how” stupid word press

  8. BigBangHunter says:

    – The “answer” to this is a resounding “yes”.

    – Bumblefuck is making the classic “be careful what you wish for” mistake. If there is no Constitution he has no assured protections. At least one of those morons in the WH must understand this.

  9. BigBangHunter says:

    Dang it, why can’t Disney get with the program like the Grammys! http://tinyurl.com/ln2jybv

    Kohn must know, and parents do, that if a kid likes a Disney movie he/she will watch it hundreds of times (along with the soundtrack), and convince his/her parents to buy as much of the related merchandise as possible. A SSM Disney cartoon would be the ultimate cultural win, ensuring maximum early and total indoctrination of the icky breeders’ offspring.

  13. LBascom says:

    “Dang it, why can’t Disney get with the program like the Grammys!”

    Brought to you by Disney, one of the five corporations responsible for all your entertainment needs, the 2014 Grammy winner (spoiler alert) of the Illuminati puppet of the year.

  14. dicentra says:

    In watching the BBC “Sherlock” I’ve been laughing how they subtly mock slash fantasies.

    Yes, that’s been hilarious.

    Except that Gatiss and Moffat have inserted plenty of pro-gay propaganda into Doctor Who, making slash-fic less likely to be in the mind of the ficcer and more in the mind of the series writer.

  15. palaeomerus says:

    Why not a princess who is antisocial and auto-erotic and who likes to be stoned all the time? We’re one big family after all. And historically lots of monarchs were self-medicating. Kids can handle a bit of reality.

    Or maybe make the Princess a queer man who enjoys dressing as a lady.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    I’m sure ABC Disney will just rake in the bucks from the huge audience what wants that.

  16. mondamay says:

    I was wondering when we’ll see a princess beheaded in front of an angry, dirty, French* mob.

    *Sorry for being redundant.

  17. leigh says:

    Shakespeare did all that, didn’t he?

  18. palaeomerus says:

    Wow. The Lincoln movie with Henry Fonda in it really sucks. Terrible writing.

  19. mattse001 says:

    I’m waiting for the Disney flick where the princess has the community organizer beheaded for stirring up discontent in the kingdom.

  20. So, the statistics are foggy, but let’s say that gays & lesbians are 2% of the population. And what percentage of them actually WANT to get what they think is “married” (but isn’t)? 10%?

    So Disney is supposed to do that just to make .2% of the population feel good about themselves?

  21. Libby says:

    >>So Disney is supposed to do that just to make .2% of the population feel good about themselves?

    Nope. It’s about training the 99.8% to celebrate them.
    All the better if you can train them when they’re young. Makes them more open to other ideas, too: http://preview.tinyurl.com/2bw9q7b

  22. RI Red says:

    I don’t remember walking through the looking glass. Could it have happened while I was asleep?

  23. steph says:

    “People ” around Sherlock and John just assume they are a gay couple?
    Other than Mrs. Hudson, who is they?

  24. palaeomerus says:

    TRESPASSERS W, It was “Young Mr. Lincoln” (1939) – directed by John Ford.

    Best of all the TCM channel allowed the last twenty minutes of it replace the audio with a BOOOOOOOOOOOO sound. Because I guess it wasn’t irritating me enough already.

  25. palaeomerus says:

    Why can’t the princess enjoy an open relationship with a variety of princes, one of whom is a feminized sub bottom?

    Or she could be a geo-erotic and hump sexy rocks.

  26. palaeomerus says:

    Lithoerotic?

  27. Darleen says:

    Steph

    It was Sherlock’s restaurant owner friend, then the guy at the hotel. IIRC at least of the women John tried to date… Others I can’t recall off the top of my head.

    I just noticed it as a sly running joke because it popped up so often … quick and subtle like.

  28. BigBangHunter says:

    – …and stupid blog post for the day goes to: “marraige-envy, severe case of“.

    – So she hates something she will never attain. Now that there is what you call wild luck.

  29. dicentra says:

    Charles Cook edges into Jeffland, emphases mine:

    So, I’ll say it, as I am expected to do. Yes, it was unwise for Huckabee to have used the words he did. Yes, given that they’ll inevitably be twisted, it’s foolish for politicians to talk about certain topics at all. Yes, if one wishes to “win the news cycle,” one shouldn’t use words that crackle with potential charge. Still, one has to ask whether the fact that words will be twisted in any way excuses that twisting. One rarely hears added to the observation that politicians should be careful an explanation of why they need to be careful — which, in this case at least, is because their opponents are happy to lie shamelessly about them in the pursuit of a narrative that has been manufactured from whole cloth.

    I wonder, at what point should we say “bugger it all” and elect to stand athwart anyhow? If, in the name of short-term advance, we accept always that this is the way it is, are we not tacitly endorsing an extralegal form of prior restraint and, in consequence, the destruction of conversation about anything controversial, polemical, or harsh?

    OK, it’s over at The Corner, but I got there via Hot Air and it had an INTENTIONALISM tease! “If meaning can be so easily misinterpreted, how far must we go to avoid controversy?”

    Like I was going to resist THAT.

  30. palaeomerus says:

    These animals are trying to inspire the creation of a new coat of arms.

    http://amazinglytimedphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Attention-is-great-resizecrop–.jpg

  31. palaeomerus says:

    A study in the value of intentionalism vs. subjective interpretations drawn carelessly in the moment or purely in service to adversarial political malice.

    http://amazinglytimedphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Getting-hands-ready-resizecrop–.jpg

  32. And now if only Cook would come to the realization that, no matter how “careful” you are in your word–and topic–choices, if you’re on “the wrong side of history,” leftists are going to twist, distort, and lie about what you say.

    It’s who they are. It’s what they do. In the tale of Coyote and Scorpion, they ain’t Coyote.

  33. Slartibartfast says:

    We need an uprising of the palace guards.

    All of whom are both transsexual and gay.

    You don’t think that could happen? There’s got to be a prefix for “phobe” that describes that.

  34. SGTTed says:

    The proper response is:

    When heterosexual men expose children to sexual images, it is considered predatory “grooming” behavior, designed to train a child to be a sex partner.

    Why does the Princess have to be a lesbian? Is this woman a sexual predator? Does she think Disney should conduct a pedophile-like sexual grooming of young women to promote same sex conduct?

    Actually, the real answer is easy: Disney won’t make any money selling a lesbo fairy tale to young heterosexual girls and their parents.

  35. dicentra says:

    Is it me or have the first two eps of Sherlock Series 3 been waaaaaay too heavy on the bromance and waaaaay too easy on the sharp-edged mystery/action/deduction that made the first two series so awesome?

  36. leigh says:

    I think Huck should talk about whatever he thinks he needs to talk about and the people who don’t like it can go screw (so to speak). Using words like “libido” isn’t a crime, after all.

    Beat them over the head with their own words (cf: Sandra Flucke) until the words lose all their power.

    As dicentra said, “Sack up.”

  37. leigh says:

    I thought Watson was married? Is he supposed to be cheating on his wife?

    Who does he think he is, Oscar Wilde?

  38. Squid says:

    I thought last night’s Sherlock was hilarious. Took a little while to get moving, but once it took off, it was great.

  39. Squid says:

    And to those who dislike the recent focus on Watson, I’d suggest you cancel your subscription to Masterpiece Theater. Or something.

  40. leigh says:

    Heh.

  41. LBascom says:

    “As dicentra said, “Sack up.”

    Yeah guys, do what the two anonymous internet warrior women tell you to do.

  42. palaeomerus says:

    I wanna easta egg! I wanna easta egg! I wanna easta egg! I wanna easta egg! I wanna easta egg!

  43. leigh says:

    Fuck off, Lee. I’ve had it with your Eeyore-like self.

  44. Drumwaster says:

    I thought you were leaving? Was that last riddance not to your liking? Would “Better riddance!” do?

  45. I thought the bar crawl–with Holmes’ efforts to control their alcohol intake, and Watson’s subversion of those efforts–was hilarious, as was the Best Man’s Speech/solution of the crime.

    And anyway, the relationship between Holmes and Watson was always a vital part of the stories. What’s interesting and entertaining to me is the way that Holmes, as a self-described “high-functioning sociopath,” expresses his thoughts and feelings about their relationship; e.g. his reaction to the “best man question.” (Having a son and other relatives who have Asperger’s to varying degrees may influence that.)

  46. Squid says:

    Between Sheldon Cooper, “Red” Reddington and the two Sherlocks, there’s never been a better time to be a goofy-looking, brilliant, condescending asshole. This is even better than that time in the 90s when the ripped jeans and faded flannel shirts I’d been wearing my entire life came into fashion!

  47. LBascom says:

    Drumwaster, you said good riddance to a friend. I am that no longer.

  48. palaeomerus says:

    It’s all our fault for dumping pig’s blood on you at the prom.

  49. McGehee says:

    The parachute trolls can take some time off; LB is filling in for them temporarily.

  50. LBascom says:

    Yeah, that comment revealed more about you than it did me palaeomerus, but no worries, the rest of your clique will pretend not to notice.

  51. leigh says:

    Indeed, McGehee. Like Sisyphus rolling his stone to the mountain top, only to start all over again the next time he shows up.

  52. “ain’t it finally time for a kid’s film where the princess marries a princess?!”

    No.
    For the same reason Andy’s other mom moved out. Tax disincentives and bitches be crazy.

  53. sdferr says:

    Perhaps make of thyselves Collingwoods and Rotherhams: “Look; yonder are the enemy!”

  54. dicentra says:

    the relationship between Holmes and Watson was always a vital part of the stories.

    More show, less tell. Holmes laid it on so thick for so long that I started to get bored with the gushing.

    Also, I thought the wedding guests would have rebelled long before he figured out the mystery. Too much time spinning between the tables with the captions and stuff.

    Though I will admit that the crime was pretty crafty, and the bar crawl was entertaining, as was Holmes’s reaction to the best man question.

    But after the train bomb scene, after Watson’s excellent reaction to Holmes’s reappearance, they didn’t need to lay it on quite so thick, rhetorically.

    I just miss the taut pacing of the two previous seasons. They’d better get back to it, toot sweet, or I’ll, uh, I’ll keep watching.

    That voice

  55. LBascom says:

    “LB is filling in for them temporarily”

    You flatter me.

    “Indeed, McGehee. Like Sisyphus rolling his stone to the mountain top”

    You flatter yourself.

  56. serr8d says:

    I believe it was linked here on the Sally Crone thread? or somewhere from a followed link. Sorry, I forgets from whom and when.

    Amy Glass The Feminist wrote disdainfully about young women who married and had children, rather than follow a more successful (and, she claims, more enlightened and important) path making a name for herself in business and industry.

    Is she for reals? There’s nothing more important than family. You can work a lifetime and die on the job propped up in your cubicle, and you’re forgotten in a fortnight. Everything that’s important is with family, not with the copybooks. No matter their sophistication.

    Oh, here’s the link..

    thoughtcatalog.com/amy-glass/2014/01/i-look-down-on-young-women-with-husbands-and-kids-and-im-not-sorry/

  57. leigh says:

    I hope she gets back to us on that in about 25 years, serr8d.

  58. palaeomerus says:

    “Yeah, that comment revealed more about you than it did me palaeomerus, but no worries, the rest of your clique will pretend not to notice.”

    Do you imply that your scorned, holier than thou, ‘moaning specter roaming the misty balcony until someone throws a shoe’ act, doesn’t reveal just as much about you Lee?

    How about your artless, trumped up, nearly continuous, and stupid sniping at Leigh?

    Are your insipid Mormon = SATAN conspiracy because symbols diatribes instructive as to your character?

    Might we gain a bit of knowledge regarding your inner workings from your dramatic declaration of disgust and emancipation, followed by your at least thrice fold return to deliver just one last payload of sad wounded bile? Should we not award points for persistence, if not for consistence?

    Yank the other one, oh vengeful glaring phantom, for in atonement to thy unjust injury it must needs offer thee a jingle, from the bells that are hung so solemnly upon it.

    Stale drama is a waste of energy. If you want to be here then get on with it and rub some dirt on your welts. If you don’t then feel free to go. Nobody owes you a damned thing. Just stop fishing for teary eyed apologies. You threw a few pies and got hit by a few. It’s long over. Move on. Stop whining about how we made you throw a turd in the punch bowl by not being nice to you all the time.

  59. Slartibartfast says:

    Lee, I recommend a hiatus for you until the butthurt goes away.

    Seriously: if you’d just put down the sword for a while you might find that you are better received. OTOH if you don’t want to do that, you are on a path to make yourself an object of scorn and derision. Why would you want to do that?

    In the meantime, you’re not really doing anyone any harm. Why bother with it?

  60. McGehee says:

    You flatter me.

    I know.

  61. palaeomerus says:

    Hey everybody I hate women, girls, puberty, menstruation, odd balls, formal dances, high school, crazy holy roller single parents, Steven King, and telekinesis. Dog whistle! Denounced!

    I don’t know what kind of phobia that is.

  62. palaeomerus says:

    I might hate arachnoid sewer clowns from Buddhist folklore too. I dunno. Lemme think about it. Do I hate possessed cars in general or just 1958 Plymouth Furies ?

    Cujo seems nice though.

    Of course not. When gays get married, it’s not a marriage arranged by their parents, nor was one of them married off at the age of 12. The marriage is also not polygamous. So, no, it’s far from traditional.

    Except that Gatiss and Moffat have inserted plenty of pro-gay propaganda into Doctor Who – See more at: https://proteinwisdom.com/?p=52562#comments

    Fuck off idiot.

    >Because treating gays like everyone else is propaganda. <

    the affairs of 2% of the population

  66. serr8d says:

    Your examples are but straws humping toothpicks, stevehhroid. Those marriages are improper and not so traditional; defined as a man and a woman joined to produce and raise children.

    But at least they’ve some legitimate chances at naturally reproducing, something gays can’t manage correctly, because biological faults.

  67. McGehee says:

    Apparently it’s not too early for the Stupidest Troll competition to get underway. But we need at least three contenders. Where’s DK?

  68. RichardCranium says:

    When gays get married, it’s not a marriage arranged by their parents, nor was one of them married off at the age of 12. The marriage is also not polygamous.

    I missed the part where those things simply cannot be the case because all the participants were of the same gender.

    Plus Oregon is weirder than I thought if those things are considered traditional.

  69. LBascom says:

    “Seriously: if you’d just put down the sword for a while you might find that you are better received.”

    And God knows it’s been a life long dream of mine to be better received by anonymous internet heroes through submission to the reigning clique.

    “you are on a path to make yourself an object of scorn and derision”

    Oh noes! how could I ever live with it!? Yeah, that ship sailed a nanosecond after dicentra expressed outrage at my supposed insult of the prophet.

    ” Why bother with it?”

    Shits and giggles. Also I’m finding the experience of suddenly being an enemy of PW fascinating and illuminating. I’m happy I no longer fit in.

  70. newrouter says:

    >I’m happy I no longer fit in.<

    i hear screaming teenage gals somewhere

  71. geoffb says:

    I thought Watson was married?

    I thought the married Watson was in the recent American movie Sherlock not the recent British TV one or the American TV one.

    So Squid there are three recent versions of Sherlock out there. I do miss Jeremy Brett’s portrayal though.

  72. leigh says:

    Lee, I’m concerned about your health.

  73. leigh says:

    I thought the married Watson was in the recent American movie Sherlock not the recent British TV one or the American TV one.

    I was thinking of the stories, geoffb. Watson refers to his wife often in them.

  74. palaeomerus says:

    “Shits and giggles. Also I’m finding the experience of suddenly being an enemy of PW fascinating and illuminating. I’m happy I no longer fit in. ”

    Yeah you are totally a declared enemy n’ stuff. People aren’t reacting directly to your lame sniping or anything. Nope. You aren’t TRYING REAL HARD or anything to maintain your FREE THINKING PARIAH CRED. This is all on us. Uh huh.

  75. Slartibartfast says:

    Shits and giggles. Also I’m finding the experience of suddenly being an enemy of PW fascinating and illuminating. I’m happy I no longer fit in.

    Might as well own it, then.

    Up until recently, it’s been a pleasure, Lee. I wish you well, even if it’s not reciprocal.

  76. palaeomerus says:

    I’m not here, because I can’t stand it here, and I’m disgusted and nauseated by the mere thought of this awful awful place, but because I’m so merciful and just, I’m still here, just in case you want to maybe unburden your soiled spirits, and talk about how I’m not here anymore and that’s a shame and a direct result of your poor decision making, because you are such assholes.

  77. leigh says:

    I think he wants us to beg him not to go, palaeo. All “please,please,please don’t go! Shane! Come back! Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane!!!!”

    Not happening.

  78. LBascom says:

    Palaeo, you can keep putting words in my mouth, but they are still your words.

    Leigh, exposing your own lie in the very next comment! I’d like to say it’s a record, but it is nothing new for you.

  79. LBascom says:

    Oh. my bad, you had one comment in between…

  80. leigh says:

    I’m not lying, Lee. You’re mental. Go see your doctor and have a blood draw done. Ask him to check your thyroid levels.

    Or are you drinking again?

  81. palaeomerus says:

    Dude! I totally accuse you of subversive cultural crimes against the…that thing that we keep the Kool-Aid in! I uh… rebuke you into the night and chaos with tears in my eyes. Yellow stripes, no name, the whole works! Maybe I can do that Fist of the North Star chest scar thing they did to Kenshiro or whatever. I can ring the book, snuff the bell, and close the candle and leave cold wrought iron around the doors and windows. I can put up the mime force field so you’re outside the box!

    Then you can like ride in on a shiny robot horse…like an iHorse, no an iStallion, with like blue light and wifi, and you can put on your Rowdy Roddy Piper shades and defy our injustice like in Zardoz. Over and over again. Or Zorro.

    Hell you can tell me how you’re fixing to whop me right in my face with your boot, and there ain’t one damned thing I can do about it.

    Go nuts. Have a all. Oh and feel free to revel in any revelations about myself that I might have made. Feh, it’s not like intentionalism is a thing anymore. Just gimme a C, a bouncy C, and then dah dah dah, dee dee dee,and whatever the hell else you wanna put there.

  82. LBascom says:

    Yup slart, I own it. I expect Kevin to start squealing for me to be banned any minute.

  83. Darleen says:

    di

    I actually appreciate the change of pace and focus these first two episodes of season 3 of Sherlock. I stop enjoying episodic tv long ago and love shows built on larger arcs where you can watch characters & relationships form and change along with the story lines.

    And I’m very pleased with Mary. She “gets” the friendship bond between John and Sherlock … not only doesn’t she resent it, she encourages it and seems to fit nicely in the dynamic.

    LOVE where she says to Sherlock “I’m not John, I can tell when you’re fibbing.” and he has to confess that he found out how to fold napkins from a YouTube video.

  84. LBascom says:

    Palaeo, mostly I just find you boring. Sorry.

  85. palaeomerus says:

    Shit! I forgot to tear off your epaulettes and stomp on your bolo-tie clasp. My bad.

  86. Darleen says:

    oh f**k, inane has slithered in with more nonsense.

    hey, there, isn’t there some bridge missing its troll?

  87. palaeomerus says:

    “Palaeo, mostly I just find you boring. Sorry.”

    Yes, I’m sure you do. But it’s all so revealing.

  88. palaeomerus says:

    knee jerk reaction. you go lee teenage grrl

    Who is “Kevin”?

  94. newrouter says:

    >Who is “Kevin”?<

    The kelvin is a unit of measurement for temperature. It is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI) and is assigned the unit symbol K. The Kelvin scale is an absolute, thermodynamic temperature scale using as its null point absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases in the classical description of thermodynamics. The kelvin is defined as the fraction 1?273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water (exactly 0.01 °C or 32.018 °F).[1]

    oh never mind

  95. palaeomerus says:

    Kevin Sorbo. He played Hercules, King Kull, and Captain Dylan Hunt on Andromeda. He controls our minds as we blog. Except for those few exceptional individuals who manage to break free…

  96. palaeomerus says:

    Those accursed ‘red pill’ types are going to ruin our insidious plan thing that we are clandestinely doing !

  97. McGehee says:

    I expect Kevin to start squealing for me to be banned any minute.

    I want you forced to keep reading and commenting here. Every day. Every thread.

    You have a competition to win, after all. I’ll even be your coach.

  98. Drumwaster says:

    That’s “High Lord Kevin”, if you will…

    (been listening to Thomas Covenant books all day)

  99. McGehee says:

    The key to trolling is drama. But not just drama — DRAMA!!!!1!!! There are heroes (actually only one: you) and villains (everyone else).

    No matter what your subject matter is, the subtext is always how you’re smarter, you’re better, you’re the one everybody torments and shuns and makes fun of because they’re jealous of what an all-around superior being you are. Even the girls that turned you down for the eighth-grade dance only wanted to punish you for being too good for them.

    Other people may pretend to live happy and well-adjusted lives, but it’s just a pathetic attempt to conceal the fact that every moment, every thought, every breath, they are consumed with shame that they can’t be you.

    And your mission in life is to destroy that pretense and rub their noses in that fact. That noble purpose is why you are that invincible hero of the internet: the troll.

    No go out there, LB, and show us all how much it sucks to not be you.

  100. palaeomerus says:

    You’re wrong McGehee, this is about how boring I am. And how on this blog we make Orwellian thought-enemies who are so despised, persecuted, excluded, abused, and shunned that they have to constantly poke people to get anyone here to yell at them.

    Wanna be troll:Kick kick kick kick kick kick kick

    PW: Hey! Ya wanna stop doing that?

    Wanna be troll: Come and see the violence inherent to the system! I’m being repressed!

  101. Drumwaster says:

    Because treating gays like everyone else is propaganda

    If we were to treat them like everyone, else, they wouldn’t be allowed to marry their same-sex partner. Because everyone else (in that 96.6% super-duper-majority who aren’t gay) would be just fine leaving the definition of marriage as including one of each gender. Ellen DeGeneres could marry Nathan Lane, and no one would care, because “desire” has never been a mandatory ingredient, only “willingness”.

    Good thing we have unelected folks in black robes who force everyone else to treat them in ways that no one in history has ever managed before. And for no reason other than “hey, who’s gonna stop us?”

    Because “SLIPPERY SLOPE!!!11!

    Talk about boring.

    You two have quite the fantasy life. Here, let me help you out:

    Agh, stop! Please! Your words… Like acid. Tormenting, burning, scaring! I can not stand your powerful phychological attack! It’s too much for my weak pitiful lizard brain. Please, I beg you leave me live. For the love of …agh, the pain!

    Feel better?

  106. palaeomerus says:

    That was also boring. I think maybe you’ve kind of shot your wad for the night Lee. It seems like you’re kind of running on fumes.

  107. palaeomerus says:

    So far it’s been more shit and less giggles, but I’m sure it’s a tough row to hoe, being THE ENEMY, even if it is so gosh darn fascinating. Ah but discussing it is a waste of times, because that ship has sailed.

  108. LBascom says:

    Throwing my own words back at me. That’s rough. I have learned my lesson mister, I can tell you that. I bet anyone else thinking of taking on the cool kids will think twice too, oh boy!

    Kevin Sorbo is one of us.

    How is it that most of the Tough Guys are right of center? (Chuck Norris, Clint Eastwood, Nick Searcy, Sly Stallone, Ken Wahl, Pat Sajak) Is it because tough guys are naturally non-leftists, or is it because they’re the only ones who can safely emerge from the closet, whereas the weedy beta males have to hunker down until they have Stature?

  112. dicentra says:

    I don’t mind if LB joins us.

    That’s the stuff, LB. Keep it coming, and you’ll have your damaged reputation repaired in no time flat.

    Always remember the immortal words of Phylo Banoney, the great dyslexic motivational speaker: CRAPPY DIME.

    I was pretty much declared a troll over at Hewitt’s Tribble feed, when I wasn’t trying to be a pill at all, and I can’t say I enjoyed it very much.

    He’s not really a troll, but if he applies himself he could get there.

    It’ll be a tough row, but he’s clearly got the stick-to-it-iveness to make it.

  116. leigh says:

    I’m serious, Lee. You love to mock me, but I am concerned about your mental health.

    In my professional opinion as a doctor and not just the Internet kind, you seem to be suffering from anhedonia, which is a kind of depression. You don’t seem to see the bright side of anything and that was the basis of my Eeyore remark yesterday. You need to count your blessings and stop making a list of grievances before it costs you all your relationships. I don’t mean on the internet, either.

    Perhaps it’s midlife crisis, perhaps this is the real you and you intend to spend the rest of your days being a crotchety of fucker who scares people away as a defense mechanism. If you won’t go see a medical practitioner, make a visit to your pastor for some counseling.

    I offer this advice to you as someone who would be your friend. You haven’t rejected my offer of friendship seven time seventy yet, so I’ll keep the light on.

    I wonder why it is that every few years we have commenters decide that they absolutely hate this place, while not being able to quit.

    There was nishi. And there was that docweasel guy. And now, evidently, there’s going to be Lee.

    I blame myself.

    I think maybe this ought to stop, leigh. While there’s no excuse for LB acting like a jackass, the online diagnosing is kind of out of bounds too.

    I had somebody pull that on my site several years ago. It was hilarious, but I still ended up banning them.

  121. leigh says:

    Okay, McGehee. I’ve just been watching him deteriorate over the last year or so. I’ll keep my own counsel.

  122. LBascom says:

    Leigh, you are a liar and a fraud, determined to sell a false narrative about me. I invite anyone to search six months back and tally how many comments I’ve directed at Leigh, and how many she has directed at me. Go ahead, lets see who hassles whom.

    Slart, I don’t hate this place, I greatly admire Jeff and his writing. Most of the commenters here likewise have my respect. There is, however, a small clique of that have made the comment section almost impossible for me to stomach. Self appointed hall monitors deciding who is worthy to belong. For example, leigh was all ready to ostracize mymotherisafish until a few others made her hastily back off by pointing out the clever parody she apparently missed.

    Whatevs. I’ll continue to post when and what I damn well please until Jeff asks me to leave, and you all can continue to call me names like school children, threaten my reputation, and tell each other lies about me all you want. I know who and what I am, and as much as they wish differently, ankle biters cannot define me.

  123. palaeomerus says:

    “Leigh, you are a liar and a fraud, determined to sell a false narrative about me. ”

    “Leigh, you are a liar and a fraud, determined to sell a false narrative about me.”

    And so, the bullshit marches on with it’s bullshit head held high. jab jab kick poke jab.

  124. palaeomerus says:

    2nd line should have been: “and you all can continue to call me names like school children, threaten my reputation, and tell each other lies about me all you want. ”

    Stupid cut n’ paste.

    No matter what your subject matter is, the subtext is always how you’re smarter, you’re better, you’re the one everybody torments and shuns and makes fun of because they’re jealous of what an all-around superior being you are.

    It’s not really that. You just say obviously stupid shit, and it’s fun to point it out.

    If we were to treat them like everyone, else, they wouldn’t be allowed to marry their same-sex partner. Because everyone else (in that 96.6% super-duper-majority who aren’t gay) would be just fine leaving the definition of marriage as including one of each gender. Ellen DeGeneres could marry Nathan Lane, and no one would care, because “desire” has never been a mandatory ingredient, only “willingness”. – See more at: https://proteinwisdom.com/?p=52562#comments

    You keep saying traditional marriage without acknowledging what traditional marriage has been for most of human history. Your arguments against gay marriage are an echo of arguments against interracial marriage:


    that connections and alliances so unnatural that God and nature seem to forbid them, should be prohibited by positive law, and be subject to no evasion.

    “I believe that the tendency to classify all persons who oppose [this type of relationship] as ‘prejudiced’ is in itself a prejudice,” a psychologist said. “Nothing of any significance is gained by such a marriage.”

    The great thing about history is that it provides ample evidence of being on the wrong side.

    No, the correct answer is fuck off idiot.

  129. Slartibartfast says:

    Newrouter’s response is both brief and to the point. Extra credit!

  130. Darleen says:

    inane

    All marriage everywhere and for all of recorded history has consisted of combining both sexes. Pre-law, pre-Christianity, AAFAIK no where has there been a society that has supported same-sex relationships as the equivalent of opposite sex relationships, let alone allowed SSM.

    And there is a good reason for this … SS relations are NOT equivalent of OS relationships. The sexes are not fungible.

    This has been stated clearly to you before. But you insist on ignoring it.

    Even a whiny 3 year old isnt this tedious.

  131. Darleen says:

    By law & biology all men are the same regardless of melanin.

    By law & biology men & women are fundamentally different.

  132. LBascom says:

    Paladin, I have proof Leigh lies about me, and I told you how to prove I am lying about who is hassling whom, get after it!

    I have a different question though, what are the rules or laws about a licensed phychologist pronouncing in public someone is “mental”, and speculating whether it is clinical depression, alcoholism, or whatever?

    In these days when such professional diagnosis can result in the loss of civil liberties, should I be speaking to the medical board, a lawyer, the police, or perhaps the FBI since the fraud is occurring over state lines?

    I think I need serious advice on this disturbing development.

  133. LBascom says:

    That was auto correct. Should have been palaeo…

  134. palaeomerus says:

    It’s nothing but childish bullshit Lee and. as Bill Quick might say, you know it.

  135. palaeomerus says:

    Is coming on here and acting like an ass, focusing mostly on one person you hold a grudge with, likely to be viewed in court as a serious effort to protect and safeguard your reputation against defamation? Especially when claiming to have been isolated and driven out by the people you have been working so hard to provoke?

    Vernor’s, hands down.

  143. palaeomerus says:

    Well this proves that I’m Leigh’s sock puppet. Darn. And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddlesome kids and your soda water.

  144. palaeomerus says:

    I thought I was making some good posts here and there too. Dang it.

  145. leigh says:

    Wait a minute. I thought I was palaeo’s sock puppet?

  146. happyfeet says:

    this is Blenheim Ginger Ale

    Mr. Moe innerdeuced me to it

    they make the tasty cocktails there in Athens with it, though it actually come from North Carolina

    the kind i have coming tomorrow is the diet kind cause it’s the only kind where you get free shippings

    free shippings bring things in reach what would otherwise be adjudged unaffordable

    so we’ll have a tasting here at work and the rest will go home for to make the cocktails … there’s one with tequila especially i hope to try (el diablo?)

  147. palaeomerus says:

    “Wait a minute. I thought I was palaeo’s sock puppet? ”

    No, then YOU’D be boring.

  148. leigh says:

    Ah, thanks.

  149. leigh says:

    That looks good, happy. And reasonably priced.

    It’s important to be thrifty in these uncertain times.

  150. palaeomerus says:

    The shipping is $25. The Soda is $50 a case with shipping. That’s a little over $2 a bottle. Not a wise use of money exactly but it’s not an unreachable extravagance like half a wagyu calf.

    They kind of scared me off of trying the #3.

  151. LBascom says:

    “It’s nothing but childish bullshit Lee and. as Bill Quick might say, you know it.”

    No, actually I don’t know it, and thinking about it long and hard, I’ve concluded this is no longer a safe place for a non-conformist using his real name to be.

  152. Slartibartfast says:

    No, I think that instead it’s a bad place for someone throwing a childish tantrum under his real name to be.

    Because the Internet, it does not forget.

  153. palaeomerus says:

    “No, actually I don’t know it,”

    Yeah you do.

  154. palaeomerus says:

    “I’ve concluded this is no longer a safe place for a non-conformist using his real name to be.”

    Again? Wow. Dumped twice in one month.

    Seriously though I’m not going to haunt you anywhere else or try to cause any trouble for you. All the turds I throw at you will be thrown here and they will all be in the form of retorts and wordy taunts and such. I’m not mad or stupid enough to try and become a real life nuisance. So if you are worried about that from me, ye need not.

    But you are probably right in general about saying unpopular things outside of a pseudonym. Even with the pseudonym I had some credit card fraud occur while posting here and it was traced to a certain suburb in Tennessee where a certain antisemitic space-titty drawing troll was posting from. It happened to two credit cards in one week suggesting that someone looked up my name and from there looked for means of getting enough info on me to use those cards until the fraud was detected. The space titty drawer was a 4chan kid and 4chan kidz are into that socila engineering and script kiddie stuff. One of the frauds was several $1200 donations to some arab cancer foundation that provided money to families of kids with cancer. The other was just hotels, perfume and stuff. I have no proof but I think I know what happened.

    So, I thought it was ‘not a good idea’ for hmnis and others talking about posting tax return screens to prove who had the higher standard of living since those screens might have encoded metadata like an editing stack containing expanded data from the document they were trimmed from. That seemed like asking for trouble.

    Sorry to bore you.

    Random observation:
    I’ve noticed one of the most common characteristic of the long-time commenters here is thick skin.

  156. palaeomerus says:

    Also “non-conformist” is a hilarious label to put on heckling Leigh a lot after having a fight with Drumwaster over whether Mormons are satan-illuminati-masonic thralls or not based on symbols in their architecture and on a 10 commandments sculpture with two words misspelled.

    But multiple people disagreed with you and you got mad and threatened to leave, so proves a clique of mean girls is driving you out. By disagreeing with you. And mocking you for chasing Leigh’s posts around so you can poop on them instead of just ignoring her. Y’know, as ye dooooo.

    As I recall, me and Pablo, or Pablo and I, whichever is the not-wrong hillbilly version, went at each other for about three days over both the Akin shunning, and the Benghazi youtube guy going to jail.

    I believe much fire was thrown. Much nonsense ensured, but only verbally.

    I never tried to send Pablo’s luggage to planet Mongo via the internet, or get him fired or anything. He never did that to me.

    We just cussed each other out, called each other assholes, and fools, fronted a great deal, and then stayed apart for a while. No one got out-cliqued to the intergalactic void. As far as I know no one got banned or hacked or cursed or set in the sky as a constellation to warn future generations or anything.

    It’s not that big of a thing. I don’t think you’ve even been kicked out of anything. You just wish you had been. Because you got mad and left in a huff (except your didn’t actually leave) over a discussion of all seeing eye symbols and what they mean to a guy on a web site.

    “Akin has poo poo in his butt just like Sarah Palin,”

    Yeah, but famed television Journalist Martin Bashir didn’t want her to have the poopoo in her butt. He wanted her to have it in her mouth just like he recounted happened back in the good old days of slavery. Then he kind of lost his job because nobody laughed with him.
