So, I made a little joke, and after a short time, Gleen’s army of outraged Technorati monitors arrived to vent their gleen:
I just got linked to this shitty blog…Greenwald has more intellect in his gay big toe than this idiot “dan collinsâ€Â.

And:
Dan Collins is a mental douche, and should stick to doing oil changes at Jiffy Lube rather than voicing his idiotic opinion.

Strangely, I don’t recall having voiced any opinion at all. But I suppose I should reply, so–
“more of the funny show, the little puppets hitting each other. That’s what I like! Little things! Hitting each other!”
To be fair, anonymous says, a bit more sentiently:
The television series showed the Fraggots’ interaction with neighbour creatures the Doozers and Gorgs, promoting messages of mutual respect and peace.
“ … messages of mutual respect and peace … ? “
Will this Left Wing Faggotry never end ?

Well, as Oscar Wilde said of interpreters, “Those who go below the surface do so at their own peril.” For the record, I have nothing at all against Doozers. Some of my best friends are Doozers. It is true that I don’t know many Gorgs personally, but I have problems only with those radicalized Gorgs whose stated object is to institute a universal Gorgiphate. If the Fraggots do not understand the implications for them, all I can say is that I’ve got more common sense in my throbbing love muscle than they have in their entire doucheosphere.
Disclaimer: this post represents my private opinions only, and should not be construed in any way as representing the opinions of Jiffy Lube.
I have to admit that I wasn’t too jazzed about the Fraggots thing until I realised the sock-puppet double-entendre.
The puppetry must go on!
Thanks, RC–
I knew that if I expressed myself clearly, you’d come around to my point of view.
I really am not getting it at this point.
Send her flowers, maybe that’ll soften her up.
I’m sorry. If you haven’t read Spenser’s Faerie Queene, some of this may be a bit obscure. But there’s a nice gloss here.
Little is right.
Yes, but I can count on you all to help me make it funnier and funnier.
I still don’t know how the joke went unappreciated. After all, it had it all: political commentary, goring a liberal cow and exposing liberal hypocrisy: gayness is so sacrosanct that any criticism of gayness in any way whatsoever is verboten, unless one is, of course, a Republican. It also ridiculed diversity training (another speech-limiting liberal sacred unicorn!) which divides cultures into squabbling competitors rather than a community having common purpose.
That’s why I suggested first-time visitors imbibe heavily to aid in understanding. Sometimes the expression of issues here is so compact that persons whose intellects are constrained by political correctness or the new Puritanism of contemporary liberalism simply collapse in angry spittle before giving an issue any thought. They need to unpack ideas before knee-jerking their way into replies, and a little relaxation therapy with Jim Beam might help.
Oh, well. The damage of decades of liberal propaganda cannot be reversed quickly.
It’s hard and sometimes dirty work, undoing the damage of decades of erroneous liberalism. But Dan tries. We try. Somebody’s got to do it.
If we don’t, the nation will end up a balkanized, dysfunctional society in need of a dear leader and centralized dictatorship to suppress us into impoverished peace.
By the by, a commercial message:
just as Andrew Sullivan inspired that trendy new cocktail, Frothing Insinuationsâ„¢.
Now available in convenient, one-ounce DwarfDoseâ„¢ bottles.
Thanks for unpacking it for our visitors, geezer. I think it would have been unseemly for me to have gone any further in explaining than I had.
McGehee and Angie Schultz, who both have more common sense than I do, even in my love muscle, will be angry at me for expressing this rather liberal sensibility, but I don’t care:
Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul’s
The little old troll woman comes.
In her own special way to the people she calls,
“Come, buy my conceits full of crumbs.
Come feed the little trolls, show them you care
And you’ll be glad if you do.
The young ones are hungry,
Their heads are so bare;
All it takes is a post from you.”
Feed the trolls, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
“Feed the trolls,” that’s what she cries,
While all around, their cries fill the skies.
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares.
Although you can’t see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares.
Though her words are simple and few,
Listen, listen, she’s calling to you:
“Feed the trolls, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.”
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
TW: evening22 Wrong, I’m fairly certain she was more like 28.
He really a scotch man? Not irish?
Heh.
I love this place. So much is said using so little.
Well played, Dan, well played.
Yep: Leftism. The anti-subtlety gene discovered.
What’s the big deal ? Don’t “they” know the t is silent , Fraggo rock….. no need to get excited , sheesh!
– Of for the love of Pete….Ok….Ok already….forget the eybrows and banjo….Could I at least get a damn Scottish highlander blouse to cover this microphone…Is anything working in this god-forsaken dressing room?….
MAAAAAAKKKKKE UUUUUUPPPPPP!!!!
FYI, Ellers McEllerson is now pretending that he’s agnostic on “outing” (or phony “outing”) people for political gain.
actus needs to adjust his dissembling accordingly, lest he get lumped in with right-wingers like Kirsten Powers.
Where does he stand on the outing of sockpuppets?
I’m relatively sure Ellers McEllerson is against it.
GOOD DAY, SIR!
Dan, you chipper piece o’ shit, where you been?
Oh and this has nothing to do with Glenn Greenwald. I have no idea who he is. Bingley said something about ‘sock puppetry’ but that means jack to me.
Hi, THS! Nice to see you.
Well, I’ve been guestmoronblogging here, as you can see, and also lending a hand over at bloodyscott.blogspot.com, which we rabble exiles from Burgess’s TDA founded.
And a fine job of it you’re doing, I’m sure. Any friend of Ian Holmes is a friend of mine.
Who’s kirsten powers? And is it true that Kennedy has been outed as a scotch man?
