    Now where could that tic have gone? I don’t see it anywhere.

  2. ahem says:

    ding! / beep / blip / tock / cuckoo-cuckoo!

    Reminds me of Terry Pratchett.

  3. Ric Locke says:

    And of course that’s precisely the correct time. The truly authoritative clock defines it so.

    And at the other side of Ankh-Morpork, the bell at the Unseen University would toll

    Reading and commenting while Jeff puts out new material gives this the feeling of – community?  Party time?  Who has the Cheez-Its?

    He look good in tiger stripe ethong, too.

    No, I no esock puppet.

    Pixie Pug,

    I think that Ace is going to do something with Copacabana.  It’s hard.  I mean the song makes so little sense that it’s almost parody-proof.  I did manage to hash something out, but my connection’s wonky just now, and it disappeared, and I’m too disheartened to try again right now.  Also, my wife’s making me watch Daddy Daycare again with the kids.

  11. Pixie Pug says:

    Thanks ,Dan

    I just enjoy it whenever you write something.

  12. Ellison says:

    ding! / beep / blip / tock / cuckoo-cuckoo!

    I don’t see a problem here.

  13. ss says:

    Thank you, Paolo, the Brazilian cabana boy. Heh. Again, I say, heh.

    The Sockpuppets from Ipanema:

    Blogs they read, both right and lefty

    and how they post to let you know that they

    think Glenn Greenwald knows a lot about everything – ahhh.

    Ryan, Ellison, and Tom Ellers

    Seem like awfully fine and swell fellers,

    but it looks like they’re just Glenn’s sockpuppets.

    Ohhh, but they comment so strongly

    if not for very longly,

    these sock-puppets of Glenn’s

    seem to vanish once through …..

    Blogs he reads, both right and lefty

    and how he posts to let you know that he

    thinks that he, Glenn Greenwald, knows everything – ahhh.

    Ryan, Ellison, and Tom Ellers

    Seemed like awfully fine and swell fellers,

    bad for Glenn they sounded a bit much like Glenn, ahhh.

    I don’t care what you guys say. I would totally do Rosario Dawson.

  16. Dan Collins says:

    Yo soy un calzetinero

    De cerca Ri’ de Janeiro

    Yo soy un calzatinero

    Y una mariposa

    Y antes de morirme quiero

    Mamarme por mi misma

    Chorus:

    Glen Mentiroso

    Que pinche Glen Mentiroso

    Glen Mentiroso

    Ay Dios! Glen Mentiroso

    Yo hablo por calzetines

    Que teclan por ‘putadora

    Que soy mentiroso es claro

    Si no seas idiota

    Que no crees tonteria

    Como cabrones de Wizbang

    Chorus

  17. Dan Collins says:

    In case you don’t speak Spanish:

    I am a maker of socks

    From close to Rio de Janeiro,

    I am a maker of socks

    And a faggot as well

    And before I die I’d like to

    Suck myself off

    Glen the big liar

    That fucking Glen the big liar

    Glen the big liar

    Dear God, that Glen the big liar

    I am a speaker through socks

    That type upon my computer

    That I’m a liar is clear

    Unless you are an idiot

    If you do not believe foolishness

    Like certain dolts at Wizbang

    Chorus

  18. krinko says:

    Mariposa is butterfly.

    Maricon is faggot.

    Otherwise, spot on!

    Except in Rio they speak Portugese.

  19. Dan Collins says:

    krinko–

    Yeah, but I don’t speak Portuguese.  In Mexico, anyway, mariposa can be a polite way of saying maricon.

    You know, you’re just antagonizing him. Them.

    You know, you’re just antagonizing him. Them.

    cool grin

    The giant ants living in the LA drain system?

    Rumor.

  23. Jim in Chicago says:

    Sung to the tune of Guantanamera I presume Mr. Collins?

  24. Dan Collins says:

    Exactly, Jim.  Thanks for asking.

  25. Dan Collins says:

    But please call me Dan, unless you’d like to be referred to as Mr. in Chicago.

  26. Jim in Chicago says:

    Sorry Dan, but only my wife gets to call me Mr. In Chicago.

  27. Karl says:

    I don’t care what you guys say. I would totally do Rosario Dawson.

    She’s definitely the best thing in Clerks II. The DVD better have an extended version of her dancing.  It would be enough to make the ‘dillo’s head explode.

    tw:  Oh, to be on top of that building.

  28. Pixie Pug says:

    Thank you, Bumperstickerist and Dan.

    TW:ever

    more

  29. Jane says:

    But he’s a LAWYER!!! Doesn’t that count for anything anymore?

  30. Rusty,When the going get absurd, the absurd get si says:

    Again with the clocks.Goddamn clocks.It’s a zen thing, right?

  31. Great Mencken's Ghost says:

    I understand Glenn is going to be swearing off blogging for a while to work on his autobiography.  Working title: My Name is Legion

  32. Semanticleo says:

    I just love it when the local goomers assume they know WTF you are talking about, then comment within the confines of their reasoning abilities.

    Incomprehensible narcissism might be OK for artists who don’t feel the need to explain their work, but BlogWorld requires some clarity.  The mere fact your readers think they understand what you are saying, should give you pause.

  33. McGehee says:

    Whatever you say, Wilson.

  34. Pablo says:

    Layers, semanticleo, layers.

    If you don’t get the joke, it’s okay to ask.

  35. ahem says:

    Semantic: As opposed to imported ‘goomers’ who just ride in on a little PMS and an attitude…

  36. McGehee says:

    If you don’t get the joke, it’s okay to ask.

    Pablo’s right. The answers won’t necessarily be helpful, of course—but we’ll do our best to incorporate you into the comedy.

  37. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Thanks, Semanticleo, for telling me what BlogWorld expects. 

    If you happen to run into it today, tell it I’ll take it under advisement.

  38. Pablo says:

    Clarity.

    Heh.

  39. Beck says:

    Inconceivable!

    [I do not think that word means what you think it means.]

  40. Dan Collins says:

    Fuck BlogWorld.  BlogWorld ought to get their own fucking blog . . . blog.

  41. McGehee says:

    Is Blog World anything like Disney World?

  42. it’s even better McGehee, everyone gets a pony!!!!

  43. guinsPen says:

    your readers think they understand what you are saying

    ~ Semanticleo ~

    Oh no we don’t.

  44. The_Real_JeffS says:

    The mere fact your readers think they understand what you are saying, should give you pause.

    We think, therefore we might.

    T/W:  And we don’t give it a second thought. 

    cool grin

  45. Rusty says:

    They’re nihilists, dude.

  46. wishbone says:

    I always thought BlogWorld required the USDA recommended amount of fiber…or was it zinc?  I forget.

    In any event, I’d like to thank sematicleo for that burst of grade-A, zinc-fortified internet gibberish.

  47. Slartibartfast says:

    BlogWorld – is that the movie where robotic amusement park bloggers go berserk and start bludgeoning paying customers with their keyboards?

  48. The other Glenn links to a photoessay on the sockpuppetry – here. Cute puppets. And it manages to capture the essence of both the story and Glenn Greenwald in just a few short panels.
