“TOCK, baby! The new word is TOCK! ‘Tic’ is through. ‘Tic’ represents capitulation to the Man’s predominant narrative. Whereas TOCK is the advent, brothers and sisters —the dawning of a new age of progressive political and social awakening that begins and ends with the power of the people powered people’s peopling and as such cannot be contained, constrained, or compartmentalized. It just is. Yes, TOCK is here to stay! And those who refuse to heed TOCK will soon be relegated to the ash heap of –”

Remember when that Tock thing happened… yea that was wierd…

This post is so three seconds ago.
sorry, too busy laughing, no snark available..
While the nutroots are all congratulating on ticking the tock, or tocking the wok, or whatever, the world has long since moved on to digital horography.
I’m eagerly awaiting the introduction of Adobe Horoshop.
Just one minor quibble: shouldn’t there be a YEAAAAAAAARGH! in there, somewhere?
What’s all this TOCK talk about people powered people’s peopling?
Who is the most equal nutbar now?
I thought the sound was just in my head……I need to cancel my appointment with the head shrinker then.
Who will stand athwart history yelling “TIC”?
McGehee,
I bought the basic version: Little Shop of Houris.
The ticocracy is finished. Tockocracy will take its place, and create room for the emergence of hickoryocracy, dickoryocracy and dockoryocracy as well. Sockpuppetry will be superceded by tockpuppetry. Won’t O’Reilly cry when he has to give his Tocking Points memos on Focks? Won’t Spock and Doc Ock wok the wok chocablock when the cuckoo clock with the cockringdoodledoo mocks the lox on the bagel box when they got the pox? Won’t they wish they had a pint of bock when they nock the arrow that shoots through the marrow of the croc that slides over the rocks and they end up in the stocks?
I’m just asking.
Besides which, TOCK rhymes with COCK.

“I think We’re All Bozos on This Bus”
Nothing like Tic be Tock-slapped into submission.
mojo, last time I tried to slip a Firesign Theatre reference in here I discovered that everybody here is younger than I am. Just warnin’ you.
Parfait, mon frere.
I, for one, welcome our new nut, uh, Netroot overlords, right up until they all implode at the general election.
(“PRIMARYIST!”)
In the meantime, it’s pure comedy gold. I mean, really, this is win-win. Plus the whole any-grownups-in-the-Democrat-Party? thing.
TW: foot, mouth, you know . . . it’s comin’, let them have their little party first
Now that’s HIPPIE CLOCK-CRAZY.
Shoot. Because of the hippietockcracy?
This one’s great.
Oh YEAH, baby, and we ain’t gonna take no more rigged elections either! Let me HEAR you, baby!
-Cynthia McKinney
J`s been eating those `dillo droppings from behind the couch again.
TW : “district”,as in, is is one of those damned
Tockocrats gonna try runnin` in this staunchly ticocratic “district”.
God damnit to hell!
Fucking clocks.
It’s me. Isn’t it.
What do you call the Tockopian and Nutroot`s of America?
T N A,of course. Now there`s a party to really get behind.
Total rip of “Subvert the dominant paradigm” bumper sticker.
But still funny. And cute. Cockula Rules!
It’s a pure Tock cleansed of all Others who might corrupt the essence of Progressive perfection.
Prediction:
After the Ticks are completely purged, a schism develops between the Tocks and the Talks.
TW:first they came for the Ticks, but I was not a blood-sucking insect….
Speaking of sock puppets. Wired caught a free-lancer faking it big time. Pretty funny shit.
BECAUSE OF THE HOT STEAMING TOCK !!!
Tock needs to listen to Milo, get off his ass, and help find Rhyme and Reason.
TW: …fifth grade reading list slowly coming back to me…
Butthead: “Hehhhehheh…he just said ‘tock’…”
TW: long
Look, gang: We now have a challenge before us come November.
We can all tic the talk, but can we tock the walk?
PattyAnn, there are at least of few of us who get Firesign Theatre references.
Damn rheumatiz makes it hard to type, though.
Now that’s smart and funny.
Unlike, as one of the rotating banners at upper left says, Michael Moore.
Meet the new Tock
Same as the old Tock
Tock-Puppet has already addressed this issue.
A quick heads` up to all you pot smokin`,granola munchin`,VW van drivin` fucking tock straps, tics run this world.If you want to get wound up about this, do it on your own time.
TW : if you don`t have to “work”,I guess smokin`
pot is OK.
“That’s just a bag of Sh*t!!”
“But it’s really GOOD Sh*t!!!”
Ah, memories . . . .
Um, a baby’s arm holding an apple? Anyone know that? If you do I’ll be your own personal groupie.
Mmmmm. King Biscuit Flour Hour.
Rusty, it’s OK; just skip the clock ones, friend. Sooner or later Jeff’ll get back to talking about semiotics or heuristics or some other discipline I never knew existed until I started hanging out here. This Tock is a bit – assertive, but it made me think of:
[Ahem.] It’s the Age of Aquarius, Age of Aquariuuuuuus…. Aquariuuuuuuuuus…. A-qua-ri-us! Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding, no more falsehoods or derisions, golden living dreams of visions, mystic crystal revelations and the mind’s true liberation – Aquariuuuuussss….
Contrasted with Wontcha marry me Bill? I love you so, I always will – from the same album. I always thought that was pretty funny.
cynn – Goldmember, for one. I don’t know of what it was derivative.
Oh Good Grief!
Get that man an AARP card, STAT!
oseawhatever, shaddup before I run you down wit’my golf cart. Where’s my pills, dammit?!?
Wait, I can’t find my fookin glasses……
No, my elderly friends. Exactly whose lyrics are those, and google doesn’t remotely count! Recall it if you dare.
“Um, a baby’s arm holding an apple? Anyone know that? If you do I’ll be your own personal groupie.”
Peter the Hermit?
Clocks are so chrononormative anyway. There isd no time…merely duration. Throw away your artifical constructs and embrace the freedom of nature’s rhythms, and live in harmony with Mother Gaea…..
TW leave. As in where did I leave that doobie….
tai chi wawa: In the first place, is that legitimate actual Oriental nomenclature? In the second place: Wha? Is “Peter the Hermit” an ethnocentric biblical reference? Sounds like it to me. Or could it be about water? Thirst? For the truth? Got it. Well, you can’t have that….
OMG! There are so many old geezers here after all! And cynn, why does everything get blamed on all these tubes on the internet?
Cynn,
See “I came through and I shall return. On like, Thursday” comments of August 1.
It’s no fun if you have to explain them.
If I recall, cynn, didn’t you get ascared and run away cuz you thought Jeff was going to find your personal info, and post it?
Naw, I must be thinking of someone else…
TW:brown stains in the pants.
I’ve died and gone to hell. Two weeks ago a guy I work with started singing the Age of Aquarias. Three decades had been sufficient to get it out of my mind.
With the aid a few beers (I refuse to specify the brands or quantities), I had forgotten that song.
Now, it’s back.
TW: It keeps going through my mind. Where’s my Jethro Tull CD anyway? Darn kids keep taking my stuff and leaving Spice Girls and Back Street Boys.
Gotta be hell.
tock tock tock… nothing but tock, that’s all we ever get from them
TW: there should be only eight twinkies in a box – more than that would be tock-sick.
Speak for yourself, sister.
Try “One Bad Apple,” Mark. I have no idea where it came from–just popped in there one day.
I’m on the verge of climbing a tall building with a rifle strapped to my back.
Ha! This was a really good one, Jeff! All of your posts have been especially strong today. Makes me wanna click on some of your ads for a bit.
Okey-dokey, MarkD, lessee if I can get that 5th Dimension out of your head.
Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel, like a – hey, what do you know? – clock whose hands are slipping past the minutes of its face, and the world is like an – there seems to be some kind of harmonic convergence going on here – apple spinning silently in space… like the circles that you find in the windmills of your miiiind…..
I think maybe I’d better lay off the amaretto. (It’s too girly anyway.) Apologies for lyric screwups; I’m working from memory of my remarkably square parents’ remarkably odd collection of LPs.
Awww… Wishbone…
Now you’ve got my brain doing “In a little while from now… if I’m not feeling any less sour… I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower…”
Sigh… one weekend on a campout in the MO Ozarks we heard that song EVERY time we jumped in Debi’s ‘65 Mustang. Took me years to recover.
And yes, you can add me to the Firesign/King Biscuit/Nat’l Lampoon Geezer Club.
TW: nineteen seventy-three – when music really got good
Doesn’t the University of Colorado have it’s own atomic clock? Do Cesium atoms actually “Tic” or “tock” What do the revolutions sound like?
TW: It’s fun being social. With Bigfoot. And beer. He’s just misunderstood. Brother can’t take a shower with somebody from the MSM climbing trees to take blurry pics of him.
I can’t believe nobody’s thought of this one yet…
8” CUT GAY PORN TOCK OF LIES!!!
PattyAnn, we had a nice little Firesign Theater riff going just the other day. And Cynn, before I give you the answer, what do I win?
That’s why I like Dennis Miller so much. Before I watch him, I get down in a catcher’s crouch and start yelling, “Come on, Mr. Pop Culture Reference! See if you can get one by me! SWING BATTAH!”
“Antelope Freeway, one-half mile.”
“Antelope Freeway, one-quarter mile.”
“If you lived here, you’d be home now.”
Jebus H. Chribist. Spamword, “drive.”
Hmmm.
MyDD – your one stop shop for sensitive Joooooo Bashing, but in a good way.
Quoth Matt.
Well, so long as Matt Stoller isn’t being racist or anything.

Rusty, it’s OK; just skip the clock ones, friend.
Eventually it will come to me. I know it will.
They’re all strung together. Is that it?
Tock-a pasa.
HAR-MO-NEEEEE AND UNDER-STAND-IIIIIIIIING!!!
(Mystic crystal revelations . . . and the mind’s true liberation . . .)
MarkD, that one’s going out to you . . .
