fear but fear itself.  Well, that,

and fucking barn owls…”

    You have to admit that barn owls are a bit spooky.

  5. Good Lt says:

    Well, you know what they say: Jeff’s the best at whatever the hell it is he’s doing…

    Hey, I may be out of the rightwing linkswap crowd these days, but that doesn’t mean I’m just going to sit here and TAKE it.

    FEAR MY BAD POETRY, BLOG GIANTS!  FOR IT COMES FOR THEE!

    A PW quadruple haiku:

    So glad Goldstein’s back.

    Our Citizen Journalist

    has returned at last.

    He’ll lampoon for us

    Pelosi and her mob of

    appeasing lib’rals,

    with Billy Jack and

    Regis (Bolton’s moustache) and

    the armadillo.

    We can only hope,

    he will bring back the slutty,

    drunk, Anna Nichole!

    TW “close69”; not gonna go there, wouldn’t be prudent…..

    I see Johnson as more of a pocket gopher than Roosevelt.

  11. Adriane says:

    Duuuuuuuuuuude –

    you’re late.  They’ve already done owls over at Harry Hutton’s.

    twice.

  12. Barn owls named MacArthur that is.

  13. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I had to look up Harry Hutton.  I’m sorry, I just don’t get out much.

    Liked his profile on Normblog.  Made me revisit mine for the first time in ages.

    Dan Fogelberg so rocks.

  14. Drumwaster says:

    I can only reiterate what Patrick said.

    {/without the snork, since my head is still stopped up, and that would be too much of a mess to clean off the keyboard}

    Can Yellow-faced Pocket Gophers get polio?

  16. lee says:

    Wait.

    Isn’t it the barn owl that has the yellow face?

  17. CraigC says:

    Holy crap.  You mean PW has been here the whole time?  Has anyone else been getting error messages for the past week and a half?

  18. MayBee says:

    Can Yellow-faced Pocket Gophers get polio?

    They contract it from fucking barn owls.

  19. Steven Jens says:

    It’s good to have you back.

  20. May says:

    Thank you, Steven Jens.

    Oh wait. Are you talking to Jeff?

  21. ---Bee says:

    oops

  22. Sean M. says:

    They contract it from fucking barn owls.

    So, I’m a little confused.  Does that mean they get polio from having relations with the barn owls or do they get it from, as the haiku (which didn’t include a seasonal reference, I might add, were I a prick) “fucking barn owls”? 

    Inquiring minds want to know.

  23. gail says:

    We missed you Jeff. The barn owls and the pocket gophers missed you.

  24. I’ve never been afraid of fucking barn owls, not so much as getting caught at it.

  25. ahem says:

    BARN OWL LOVE!

  26. McGehee says:

    BARN OWL LOVE!

    I’ll take “songs the Captain and Tennillee decided not to record” for $400, Alex.

  27. dicentra says:

    Why do you hate Barn Owls! they’re endangered!

    Actually, Barn Owls are among the most successful owl species. We can have at ‘em.

  28. Scott P says:

    BAM!!!!!!  That’s what I’m talking about.

    Welcome back, Jefe.  Word on the street is that you’ll be in these here parts for a while.

  29. Dicentra, I think it depends on where you live.  I mainly just remember my dad having to deal with one at work(golf course) many years ago and all the special people he had to contact to properly care for it.
