Another moment of unabashed pragmatism

Sometimes, when I don’t feel much like posting, I simply don’t.  Whereas other times?  You get crap like this.

One of us is going to have to learn to deal with it.

    Frankly Jeff, we don’t give an armadilo’s ass about your feelings. You started this thing, You finish it.

    Now pour some blue agave and step back up to the plate.

  2. Good Lt says:

    Yeah! What he said!  smile

    TW: York Peppermint Patties, anyone?

  3. Yep, it’s time for a 10-hour nap.  With earplugs.

  4. mojo says:

    It’s a “Yoda moment”

    Do or do not. Or make some waffles.

    Mmmmmm…. Waffles!

    SB: peace

    out

    Way to sum up my personal blogging ethic.

    You generally brink the whitefish salad, though.

    On a good day, I maybe get up to oatmeal.

  6. SarahW says:

    bring, not brink.  Mmm. kippers for lunch.

    and it’s free crap, so it’s even better.

  8. Retired Marine says:

    Well Jeff, sometimes when you dont post you show your greatest intelligence.  wink

  9. ahem says:

    Hang out in the hammock for a few days and smell the roses. It’s mid-summer. Just leave out some extra cocktail umbrellas for us.

    I made the mistake of giving Frisch some blog traffic instead of just letting her fade back to her well-deserved nothingness.  While I was there, I posted a comment.  The comment survived her “moderation,” but only after she friggin’ EDITED IT!!!

    I could understand not wanting to post it, but not posting it in an edited form!

    Sheesh, and the word in the little pink box below is “progress.”

  11. Retired Marine says:

    What box?

  12. Carin says:

    Don’t tell me you’re going to Frisch-off and post nothing.

    What’s a loyal minion to do?

  13. SarahW says:

    Denny – it talks? Impressive.

  14. CraigC says:

    Yeah? Well, I don’t feel like commenting.

  15. corvan says:

    I like these posts best, less to read.

  16. Dan Collins says:

    Sadly, No!: In a post today, Pasty bashed pragmatism

  17. Rob B. says:

    Is this another comceptual post that draws equivelence to the US response to the war in Lebanon by personalizing the material and leaving us to draw our own inferences or is it the result of you discovering that the “Nude News Channel” is unscrambled on cable today?

    TW: europe, where the girls don’t always shave.

    A Non-posting Haiku:

    I don’t like blog twits

    they fling poo like monkees do

    I will not post now

  19. McGehee says:

    Sometimes, when I don’t feel much like being funny, you get comments like this.

    The ground is good, the climate is congenial, but if ya don’t plant the crops you get bupkus.

  20. Scott P says:

    It’s cool man.  Really.

    How about the kiddo?  Is he ready to blog yet?

  21. Pixie Pug says:

    So, Denny

    What was edited?

    I find I get 1 out of 3 posted, but mine are short & she lets them through.

  22. If I end up working because you don’t feel like posting….

    Well, something will happen, I just don’t know what.  Hasn’t happened yet.

  23. Rob B. says:

    Jeff is just big timing us because the Frisch story made Foxnews’s website.

  24. You get crap like this.

    Like what?

    At least this post doesn’t have any of those long freakin’ sentences.

    Thank goodness.

    Sometimes when actus doesn’t feel much like commenting, the average IQ level of entire threads triples.

  28. MarkD says:

    This post doesn’t have any literary theory that attempts to explain to me why:

    1.  The dictionary is wrong.

    2.  It doesn’t matter what I said if you want to misinterpret me.

    Iff we can’t have pie or a dancing armadillo, this’ll have to do.

  29. Robin Roberts says:

    Tman,

    What?  No seasonal reference?

  30. Tman says:

    Robin,

    The air is quite hot

    So hot that posting seems trite

    Butt sweat is ugly

    TW: “Elements” as in- This turing word generator is freaking psychic man.

  31. JD says:

    You’re just tired of speaking truth to the power of the LaDouchies.

    C’mon, man!  Get in the GAME!

    BECAUSE OF THE VINEGAR!!!!

  32. joeschmo1of3 says:

    Hey Jeff,

    Did you see the story in Eugene, Oregon, from the local paper about your Frisch dustup?  Here’s the link.

    TW: Brought, as in it.

  33. Retired Marine says:

    Deb seeks help.

  34. McGehee says:

    DF told the Eugene paper she was “trolling.” I guess she knew it at the time.

    She must have missed the general frowning-upon that trolling gets in the blogosphere.

  35. Erik says:

    Curiously contradictory quotes from that article:

    Frisch, who taught in the UO psychology department off and on from 1988 to 2001, says she feels terrible about her comments.

    “It was in very bad taste … very, very, very horrible,” she said in a telephone interview. “I don’t think professors should do that. I crossed the line. I think what I did was unprofessional and wrong, but I don’t think the punishment fits the crime.”

    and

    “I’ve been joking for a while that I want to be a left-wing Ann Coulter,” she says, referring to the right-wing pundit. “As hard as it is to see right now, this is part of my career plan.”

    The Coulterization thing is obviously a bizarre, post facto rationalization.  And, more importantly, laughable.

    “I’ve been joking for a while that I want to be a left-wing Ann Coulter,” she says, referring to the right-wing pundit. “As hard as it is to see right now, this is part of my career plan.”

    Groan.

    Don’t give up your day job, lady.

  37. Middle East news blogging burnout.  I’m trying to avoid the topic myself, I figure better qualified and more interesting if not amusing people than I are doing enough already.
