I can’t be the only person who pores over the entirety of this post and comes away thinking only one thing: “Wait, Yanni used to bang Linda Evans? The fuck…?”
That’s like finding out Zamfir was the meat in a coke-dusted Kristy McNichol, Tatum O’Neal sex sandwich.
My childhood has been cheapened.
Seriously. Now I know what Kierkegaard was on about with all his blather about dread.
Um, it seems the folks at S*dly,N*! have a wee bit too much free time on their hands.
On the bright side, the time it took R**ard* to do that post, he could not possibly have been procreating, so, good times!
Yanni had a killer ‘stache.
It is still quite disconcerting…
wv: friends69—… unnerving…
Wait….
Cat Stevens?
That’s an old picture. Today I look more like Scatman Crothers.
Marie Jon …
Those folks really have some anger issues, no ?
Cat stevens maybe But I was thinking maybe Jim Croce, you know being bad and all that
Doesn’t he realize that a handful of comparisons can be funny, but dozens and dozens is just pitiful and creepy, in a mom’s basement/stalker hybrid kind of way?
Sadly…
Zamfir and the Skin Flute ! I just re-read this post, and spewed a fine Mocha all over the windshield and dash of my brand new Saab. Thanks.
That boy has a lot of time on his hands. I thought some of it was amusing, but man, did it go on way too long. I gave up after 20 or so.
In the comments, which I also breezed through, the fearless leader mentioned kicking wingnuts in the teeth. I assume he was being figurative, since they’re all about peace, love and understanding.
I also note that he did the obligatory slam on himself in the last entry. Whatever. He was too easy on himself.
Either my eyes are going bad, or that site is eponymously named.
I believe you may be the only person to have gotten to the bottom of that post, period.
Cat Stevens??!
Them’s fightin’ words, pardner!
And I mean that in a very real and legally protective sense…
SB: same33
yup
Retardo couldn’t even
libellabel Jeff, because he’s one of the few on the list who would respond in kind, and then some.Sad, insecure coward, that Retardo.
But we knew that.
That was a hell of a lot of work just to exhibit his somewhat limited vocabulary. How many different people can you call a hack, or a fucktard, or pathetic and have it still be insulting or even interesting? He could have just stated up front that all these people scare him cause they’re such meanies, and saved himself lots of pixels. I bet his grandfather has just about filled his coffin with vomit knowing what his grandbitch is doing with the trust fund money he left behind.
Yeesh!
Some people have anger issues.
Retro has anger statutes!
PS: Cat Stevens, heh! Can you do the moon eyes while singing?
Scatman Crothers? Perhaps you should apply a bit a sunscreen when out working in your yard.
And, that list DRONED on. Squid is right; a few are funny. More than a dozen is pathetic.
Wow, that was a nice, overstuffed bundle of progressive hate, wasn’t it? Nearly as much fun as the mindlessly repetitive obsessiveness of it all was the spittle-flecked comments thread reanimating a perceived Feministe “lookist” slight from teh musty archives.
There are dark forces at play in the party comrades – enemies, spies and wreckers are everywhere!
Purge, anyone?
I hate to say it, but the Michelle Malkin one was pretty funny. Not that I agree with his evaluation of her or anything, but the matched facial expressions was pretty good.
The rest of them were insufferably lame.
There are still yuppie scumbags?
TW: Last time I saw one in the wild was summer97.
Beavis and Kissinger?
Man, I thought I needed a drug test after I saw that one. A contact high, or something.
Although in Beavis’s defense, he was always the underrated half of the combination. I seldom see an adult in a meeting and think “Butt-head;” I see many and think “Beavis.”
I thought Todd had nothing to do allday?
Don’t forget “splitists”…
Man, I love “wreckers”. Something about hearing that term brings visions of Trotsky sinking to the floor, ice-pick embedded firmly in his skull, while rows of workers chant “we will follow the dictates of the 23rd All Party Congress!”
You know, Major John, there’s an opera in there somewhere. A socialist realist opera, of course.
Lou
Tell your wife I need my pants back
Oh Man! You made me break my Yusuf Islam boycott. I thought I was going to see THIS.
You just described my top sexual fantasy from age 12 to… well, current day.
So, this Sadly No person – are they in high school, or what?
His is the kind of sense of “humor” that caused Saturday Night Live sketches, based on a joke that should have taken 30 seconds, to drag on and on for an interminable ten minutes.
…every other week for two whole seasons.
How come you didn’t get a cool descriptor like hack or pathetic or stormtrooper Jeff? Why is his vitriol so conspicuously absent when you come up? It’s a man-crush baby! Either that or he still has painful memories of a cock shaped welt across his face.
“Cock shaped welt” is not the right descriptor. A more accurate term would be mushroom bruise.
Didn’t ZZ Top record a song by that name…?
Duly noted JD.
That’s almost like Lisa Marie Presley/Michael Jackson. And actually worse than Nicole Kidman/Tom Cruise.
*shudder*
Cut him some slack. At least the nutroots are finally trying to lighten up a bit after six years in a primal scream. Maybe laughter will be therapeutic for them.
Dammit, Major John, I’m tired of you damn rightwingers repeating that damn myth about Trotsky’s assassination…
It was a mineralogist’s hammer. That’s how you know Bush and Halliburton were in on it.
Jeff,
Why didn’t you rate for the same quadrilitterian abuse that everybody got?
You got dissed, man!
HTML / Retardo and I have had some email exchanges. We disagree on just about everything politically, but we tend to share a common interest in pop-culture, Umberto Eco novels, and Andy Kaufman’s practical jokes on the culture.
Guess that humanizes me somewhat.
Besides, I think he’s already spent enough time describing me such that all his readers can fill in the appropriate adjectival phrases from memory.
Did they actually type the term “lookist” in that post ? Good grief. What is next ? Religionist ? Weightist ? Cityist ? Coastist ? Partyist ?
I see. I guess it’s just the “Others” who deserve his oppobrium, such as it is.
JD:
Couch Potatoist? Naggist? Socialist?
Whoops.
Jeff:
Bwaaa haha! I’ll bet they passed out little tabbed memo pads with all of the appropriate descriptors. “Alright now, under “C” we have…”
I made it over there today to check out the Feminste kerfuffle you all were talking about, and was lmao at all the references to “looksism” thinking at first it was just a term one of them had made up, but then I decided to google it, and discovered that…
HOLY SHIT! I AM AN OPPRESSED MINORITY!!11!!!!1one!!
FUCK YOU BUNCHA DAMN WINGNUT NAZIS!
I HAVE DONE HIT THE GRAVY TRAIN BIATCHES!!!11
WOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!11!!!!!!!!
You have a link to the feministe kerfuffle, B Moe? I’d like to check that out.
Haven’t found it yet, apparently a few months ago Feminste took Retardo to task for being “looksist” in his ridicule of you wingnuts, which of course also made him sexist, racist, et al. I will look some more after I figure out just how oppressed I have been, honestly I have been too busy to notice, I guess.
I guess it’s just the “Others†who deserve his oppobrium, such as it is.
Well, yeah. What with that creepy Ben guy and his invisible sidekick Jacob, I have nothing but opprobrium for the Others, too.
This looks like the start of the battle, pretty entertaining stuff.
As far as lookism goes, we have to face the fact that some people are just plain ugly and there’s not much that can be done about that. I have very rarely seen truly ugly people, though I have seen enough of them to know that they exist.
In any case, doesn’t everyone respond to a certain extent to how attractive other people are? It’s natural. Probably something to do with associating physical appearance with physical health.
Yeah, I was getting ready to start an organization of other fat ugly people so we could demand our rights, but then I realized that would mean spending all my time hanging out with fat ugly people, and who wants to do that?
If that was the case, wouldn’t it have been the drill bit for an oil rig?
Didn’t ZZ Top record a song by that name…?
I’m pretty sure it was Nirvana. It was the B-side of “Heart-Shaped Box”, right?
B Moe – Thanks a fucking lot for that link. I read piny’s post, and all 652 comments, and for that I lost 1 hour and 27 minutes of my life that I will never be able to replace, and learned yet another -ism/ist, able-ism. If there was ever a question as to whether or not it was possible to have a sense of humor and be a prog, that thread should clear that up, quite nicely. Holy shit – I cannot even begin to imagine how torturous day to day living must be with that kind of mindset.
Huh, Yanni and Linda Evans each have a home in Lakewood, WA. I know a contractor there who helped build Yanni’s house. Linda Evans’ picture is up at one of the local dry cleaners. I didn’t know they were an item, but I guess it makes sense given there aren’t any more “famous” people living there (to my knowledge). The mansion from Steven King’s “Rose Red” is there too.
Jeff,
Either that or you’ve become the third rail of the intertubes. Good on ya.
No problemo. I couldn’t plough through it all, but it was entertaining skimming. I think my favorite line was from the comments in JGs original link:
emphasis mine
Nice glimpse into Mr. Mencken’s pyschological cellar, huh?
It seems you would only have to fret about that if it turns out you had a propensity for same.
I tend to not be drawn to fat prog women with big vaginas (read that thread!) so I do not spend any time fretting about same. Why would good ole Mencken fret about being a racist ?
At one point in that thread, they were drawing parallels between telling fat jokes and being an advocate for torture and genocide. Good God !
I was going to, before you said that. Now, not so much.
How revealing.
