Ceci n’est pas une poste.
“This is not a post office?”
Man, my French is lousy.
NEW LAPPER !
Aw. Shit. Not again.
We await your bidding, Master.
Go forth and help consolidate the right side of the blogosphere down into about 8 key sites and bunch of fairly useless satellite sites all vying for attention.
Those are my wishes. And I’ll even spot you 5, if you need me to.
I guess that’s a yes. This thing is on.
..
..
..
That’s it, then? I came all the way over here just for that? Some crisis you got here, pal. Next time just check the damn switch, OK?
Freakin’ over-reactionary reich-wingnut wasting my time again …
…. his name was Abby something master …..
Jeff,
My moment of existential crisis was that final e*.
Who’s the firecrotch now, bitches?!
a4g
Surrealists give me a headache….

Tonight? “24” is on.
Man, even my minions are forming a union.
United Blogminions 244 Rally
What do we want?
PIE!
When do we want it?
NOW!
TW: present31. Seemed like more than that.
That’s because Michael Moore was there raiding the cold cuts.
Ewww. Cannibalism.
Look for the union label For free ID card and Minimum Basic Agreement.
Cool!!! Cannibalism.
My English is lousy but my French are lousy too.
Your French ought to bathe more often.
But I want to be more than a “minion”! C’mon, at least make me a “toady” or a “stooge”…Yes, stooge. Has a nice ring to it.
Heya, MJ.
Where you been?
In honor of Major John’s wishes–Excerpts from my inverse ranked ordered list of things I’d rather be called “stooge” than:
47. Front page poster on The Daily Kos
48. Fred Barnes
49. Oakland Raiders Head Coach
50. Hollywood Activist
…
111. Robert Novak’s colon
112. Robert Novak
113. Retardo Montlaban poetry
114. That guy who played Mr. Belvedere on “Mr. Belvedere”
…
290. Whoever introduced Jane Fonda last weekend
291. Jane Fonda
292. Ned Lamont
292. “Buffy”
Minion is pretty lame …… lackey , howevever , I’m sure we can all live with….. well me anyway .
I’m a serviceable villain.
I got dibs on ‘henchman’!
Damn ….henchman’ …..get him the Billy Jack Hat , he wins .
Henchman may seem to be great at first glance, but remember–Batman ALWAYS beats the crap out of them and they ALWAYS get blown up driving a monorail inside a secret hideout in Bond flicks. And the hard hats never help.
So–no thanks. I’ll stay with “stooge.”
I wanted to be a henchman because I’ve always wanted to know what motivates them. But as that’s gone, I would like to be a Cat’s Paw, please.
Or a running dog
How about running dog? I could use the exercise.
That’s why henchmen are gold , team players .
or satrap…
feh, everyone knows Jeff has myrmidons.
ha ha, found the link. sorry, I too hasty there.
WAS, GAH!
I thought he shaved them off.
I’m trying to work my way up to mastermind, but first I need a promotion to apprenticemind.
No, it’s not.
SB: doubt51
Major John – gotten any Tim Hortons from the Canadians?
Mmmmm . . . donuts.
Donuts and pie.
Maybe we could work something out. For minion scale.
I always wanted to be one of a Band of Merry Men.
Especially after seeing “Men in Tights”.
Alas, Kevin Costner ruined all that.
I guess “minion” is OK…
I always wanted to be one of a Band of Merry Men.
From Men in Tights:
Robin: I am Robin Hood, and these are my Merry Men!
Rabbi: Faygeles?
Robin: No, no. We’re straight. Just merry!
Here’s my contribution to the hit counter.
I’m am not a minion. Minions get paid, right?
Nah. Minions tend to do too much groveling. All that “Yes, my Lord” and “Gosh, what a great idea, your Evilness” and the like. Bad for the knees.
Henchmen. Maybe a Syncophant or two, just to mix it up a little. No Minions.
And no goddamned capes.
Kinda prefer Jabberwock, myself.
For some reason or other, a4g’s comment about that final ‘e’ thing really brought to mind that poem by Lewis Carroll.
Leaving aside, for the moment, the existential qualities of René Magritte’s painting, one is (well, me anyway) instantly reminded of Douglas Hofstadter’s work, ‘Mathamatical Themas’ and all the varied and sundry ‘self-aware’ sentences therein.
‘I am not a sentence.’ and ‘I a not really here.’ and ‘Nobody is now, nor ever has, typed me.’
If a Jabberwock doesn’t comment, does he really count toward Jeff’s “hit” count?
Dammit! I told them NO mushrooms on the pizza tonight…
I’ll take “enforcer”. I’d go with brownshirt, but brown really doesn’t compliment my eyes.
Has “churl” or “varlet” been taken? I was always partial to being a varlet. Kinda Anglo-Saxon-Ivanhoey sounding.
And you get to wear the cool brass dog collar.
Oh, I want to be a sycophant. Has that special ring.
And, may I say that Jeff’s writing has been particularly brilliant as of late.
(how’d I do?)
Why would you want to be an crazed elephant? Just asking.
Go forth and help consolidate the right side of the blogosphere down into about 8 key sites and bunch of fairly useless satellite sites all vying for attention.
Done.
What’s next?
Thane.
You want to press pants and park cars?
Buttboy.
Now there’s an ambition.
Back to the original question:
Flashing green thing = on
Flashing red thing = two minutes to reach minimum safe distance.
Is sidekick too sappy?
