    Fuck I hate that man. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. He represents everything that is wrong with America. Yes, more than Palin and Bush.

  • jane from the hell

    Whassup, Angry Joe.I am in an Angry Fucking Mood myself. I relish vicarious vengeance. Have you got a shiv? (And a passport?)

  • GItheJOE

    I am about to phone a friend in the Arab world to wake this asshole up. Just a scare and maybe a wheelchair or missing limbs. My buddy only has one eye.

  • dontpanic23

    Count me in, J&J (not J&B, the whiskey). It’s an AFM kind of day. I’d love an angry mob right about now. Especially a Really Snarky one.

  • theo

    Would the GDAB QOTW cheer you three up?

  • dontpanic23

    Hit me, Theo.

  • PackyJ

    The Worst President Ever™ could be interviewed by the Worst War Correspondent Ever™.That would be a hoot.And Joe… I’ll have you know that I am FAR better looking than Joe Warfelschnocker or whatever his name is.

  • jane from the hell

    Not enough, Thesers, not enough. Not me.But Joe’s one-eyed friend might.

  • GItheJOE

    Everyone go look at Packy’s FB and see what I did today. That will chap anyones ass.

  • dontpanic23

    Great job, Theo. Ah, the energy of youth. Or even forty…

  • http://hedonistperspective.typepad.com Alexander Rose

    Angry day? I’m good at this.Anyone catch that cunt (yes, harsh word but if anyone deserves it she does) on the View? Real cute of her to suggest Barbara Walters (a Jew) would be a fan of Mein Kampf.I think she could be an exception for my disdain for waterboarding.

    GDAB QOTW posted at Facebook, also available on Flickr athttp://www.flickr.com/photos/33570360@N03/3192099029/.As always, I’ll plug for my amateur photography and ask people to check out my other photos.

    I read on HuffPo a report about J the P’s first day on the job. He actually asked an ISRAELI reporter if he thought Israel was bad, such as…

  • Kat

    I have a stiletto for Joe. More specifically, for Joe’s ass. The Plumber, mind you. I have no issues with The GI. Or his ass. Although Packy might.

  • dontpanic23

    C-word, View–must be Hasslebitch.

    *Checks watch7:20Already getting dirty…

  • jane from the hell

    Axl, I can’t believe you suffered through any more of that shit than I did (and I did). Aren’t you the Hedonist and all? Hedonize thyself doctor!And Packy, I gotta say I do see a similarity…you have more hair though! You win!

  • dontpanic23

    Is “I have a stiletto for…” a new euphemism?

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    Jane,don’t sweat the petty things, just pet the sweaty things.

  • PackyJ

    Oh… I am wounded… this cuts to the bone.. and here I thought you guys were my friends.I guess I’ll have to post a FB picture of Anne Coulter’s penis instead.

  • jane from the hell

    Yes, DP! And welcome home! xxxooo

  • GItheJOE

    Thanks Jane, I knew I wasn’t the only that was high today.

  • dontpanic23

    *waving at Jane* Thank you! I was about to call you a bitch for not speaking to me all day. I take the thought back.Going out for smoke and let the rain fall on my eyebrows to cover the tears over having a question too stupid for the Robot Dude to even qualify with a “you’re stupid” answer. Wait, it’s not raining.Ah, it does feel like home, Ms. The Jane. *faints from exhaustion*

  • http://hedonistperspective.typepad.com Alexander Rose

    @ JaneYeah I know, I’m supposed to know better. I got caught with my proverbial pants down and now I’ll have to drink the pain away.

  • dontpanic23

    Axl. you forgot to send me flowers for my grief. My Cats fucking BOMBED.

  • Kat

    No, DP, not an euphemism. Mr. Cesca placed an order for flying shoes, and I was merely suggesting a style. Goodness, you would think all my comments were sexual in nature or something. Hmmph.

  • http://hedonistperspective.typepad.com Alexander Rose

    @ DPYeah… no fucking kidding they did. My sincerest condolences to you.

  • theo

    Anyone know how to make a really good lobster?

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    theo,got 3.5 billion years?

  • dontpanic23

    Kat–yes, you would.Axl–Oh Jebus, thank you. I’ve never hit my head on the wall so many times (once per turnover). Jake Delhomme had his head up his ass. Or somewhere.

  • Kat

    The whole thing or just the tail, theo?

  • PackyJ

    Theo, I’d say treat it with kindness and understanding in its formative years.It’s more nurture, than nature, y’know.

  • dontpanic23

    Kat: SEE???

  • theo

    smartasses, all.

  • theo

    well, except Kat – I think the whole thing.

  • dontpanic23

    Theo, did you really expect them to answer any other way? (I just deja vuued–not a word, I know–to a scene in Blazing Saddles).

  • Kat

    See what?? I’m trying to answer theo’s question because it sounds like she wants lobster for dinner!! You know…maybe it’s not me….

  • http://hedonistperspective.typepad.com Alexander Rose

    @ TheoGet a big ass pot, boil some water, throw some spices in it, throw the lobster in it (alive), pay no mind to the ‘screaming’ (just air coming through the shell) and give it about eight to ten minutes.Then eat that fucker like your life depended on it with some sauteed butter.

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    Theo,Lobster Thermadorehttp://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1645,155166-239202,00.html

  • theo

    hehe, anyone wanna come over for dinner tomorrow?

  • dontpanic23

    NOOOOOOO the pain!

  • dontpanic23

    And Axl, what are you doing with an ass pot?Kat, you are contagious. Harumph. (That guy didn’t harumph!–that movie seems to be stuck on me tonight).

  • http://hedonistperspective.typepad.com Alexander Rose

    @ DPIt’s… it’s…I don’t want to talk about it… ; )

  • dontpanic23

    And I’m not sure I should hear…

  • jane from the hell

    Harumph indeed. Sorry fans.

  • dontpanic23

    Phone again, eh Jane? Or too many cats taped to you. Gonna be 14F around here in a few nights. Get out the superglue. And take advice from Packy.

  • jane from the hell

    I’m back (for now). I am so goddamn sick of cats I could puke. (Perhaps I shouldn’t be eating their heads.) But Packy, it is cold enough that I closed the door and lit the gas logs.I made the mistake of watching some of W’s presser today and have had a massive tic in my eye ever since.

  • jane from The Hague

    Nom de Soir.

  • PackyJ

    To Whom it May Concern:Bob and I had a chat this morning, and he gave his blessing to the idea of an email campaign to get him a guest shot on Maddow, Olbermann, Daily Show and/or Colbert Report. He seemed a little surprised and flattered. Kind of humbled, actually.So here we go:Rachel’s email is rachel@msnbc.com.The email for Olbermann’s show is countdown@msnbc.com.To leave a message for Stewart’s and Colbert’s show is: http://www.comedycentral.com/help/questionsCC.jhtml.Bob told me if this were successful, it would be far more than his publisher did to promote his book.More than promoting his book, I really think Bob would be a great guest.If these people get 20 or 30 emails all asking for Bob to be a guest, they might at least ask “who the f-ck is Bob Cesca?” and get someone on their staff to check him out.Hey – if we can raise $10K for Barack Obama, we surely can send a few emails to help get Bob some more audience, can’t we?Go!

  • jane from The Hague

    Nom du Soir. Dumbass.Nobody tell Les Natzis.

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    We’ve got light snow (3″ or so, light because it’s going to be) -1 for a low.Thank God, for a second there, I thought they said +1

  • Mary in Omaha

    Bush said today…”When I get out of here, I’m getting off the stage.”All I can say is THANK YOU GOD! Or whoever is running this universe!And I LOVED that Ann Cunt got bitch slapped today for being able to dish it out, but not able to take it on The View!

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    How about O’reilly? I’d love to see Bob verbally bitch slap him. Or, maybe even a physical bitch slap would be effective. It all depends

  • dontpanic23

    I love Packy’s idea. I’m in.

  • ceu

    Keith’s covering dubya’s press conference. He was less than impressed…and this is my first chance to see any of it. what an ass.why can’t BushCo be over already.Oh, I agree with Packy & my emails are already sent :)

  • EL Mystico

    Gaaaah I hate this man. He’s such a dick. I just… I want to go into specifics here but goddammit…He’s just. Such. A. Dick.

  • jane from The Hague

    Mary, are you talking about Coulter? I’d pay-per-view that

  • dontpanic23

    YES, Keith, that’s what I was screaming about the Coast Guard. Made me insane to hear that shit.

  • http://www.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    I couldn’t even read the whole Joe the Plumber story… I was having trouble with the idea that we should go back to the “good old days” of propaganda movies. And this is what passes for a “war correspondent” for pjmedia?Gah!QT

  • ceu

    holy shit!! Go, Keith!If you’re not watching, watch at 10!

  • PackyJ

    PCubed,I doubt Billo’s fan base will buy Bob’s book, but I think Bob could take him one-handed. Why not? Send BO’s show one too. But YOU have to find that contact, I don’t want his cookies on my machine (if you know what I mean).By the way – When I wrote the Colbert Report staff, I pointed out that being a big guy and an avid cyclist, there was no doubt that Bob could kick Colbert’s ASS at leg-wrestling!Smart-ass might gt their attention.Plus, I believe the lad can do ‘er.

  • ceu

    If he’s not drunk, he’s insane. “the universality of freedom”?No brain, no pain….

  • Kat

    Oh, Keith is doing a lovely job. But, damn, that press conference was agonizing. And I think we need to pass out towels to at least the first 3 rows of the Press Corps after that feargasm Bushie blew everywhere.

  • jane from The Hague

    Ceu, do you want to gouge your eyes out yet?

  • Mary in Omaha

    Yes, jane. Coulter was the cunt I was referring to. She’s such a bottomless pit of putrid hypocrisy! I didn’t want to watch her at first, but was glad to see her put in her place…at least a little bit.

  • Mary in Omaha

    Okay. I completely admit it. I’m dumb and new here. Is ceu actually Bob posting?

  • ceu

    I want to rip them out and stuff them in my ears.

  • ceu

    Mary, I think I love you.

  • PackyJ

    RE Joe the Plumber:How can ANYONE who is a war correspondent for something called “Pajama Media” be taken seriously? It sounds like something from 23/6.

  • jane from The Hague

    Ceu is Not Bob, but she is the most Serious and the Smartest one here, most if not all of the time. She is also “Chris”, a mild-mannered newspaper reporter.

  • theo

    I missed something, guys, are you talking about the press conference or about coulter or both?

  • PackyJ

    You’re MY kinda gal, Mary.

  • Mary in Omaha

    Ok. Thanks for the love ceu. I’m somewhat clueless, but you sound to me like Bob.

  • jane from The Hague

    Theo: yes and yes.

  • Kat

    Wolffie quoting from ‘Macbeth.’ Miaow.

  • ceu

    Jane. What a kind thing to say, even though it’s demonstrably untrue.Richard Wolffe is remarkably sane for having covered Bush for 8 years.Oh – moose & helicoptor…

  • Mary in Omaha

    When the hell will Joe (not actually Joe, not actually a licensed plumber, who also did not pay his taxes) the Plumber’s 15 minutes be up already!?!

  • dontpanic23

    Mary, that was quite an entrance.

  • dontpanic23

    Not “the Scottish play”! Keith will now break an arm or something.

  • jane from The Hague

    OH GOOOOOOD another smirky dickish response.I cannot take it. Just fucking kill me NOW.(On a lighter note, didja see the Afghan effigy?)

  • ceu

    oh, very nice. :)

  • Mary in Omaha

    Oh, dontpanic23, this isn’t my virgin visit to this site, last time I was here I was bitch-slapped for being an ass, and I hope/think I learned my lesson.

  • jane from The Hague

    Hey, you were one a them Natzis, weren’t you Mary?

  • http://www.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Sorry for earlier double post. And, yes, I’m going to join the email campaign.But – if Bob’s publisher is laming out on the job… can we revive my idea of a book tour? We each can contact a local bookstore and make a request. Matter of fact, Bob, can’t we ask your publisher to organize a tour? I’m on record as promising to buy a hardcopy of your book in exchange for a signature…and I promise to keep my hands (mostly) to myself…Bit of self promotion… everyone have a look at my new improved website! Its so pretty now! :) QT

  • ceu

    and Jonathan. could this broadcast get any better?

  • Mary in Omaha

    jane… I hate to admit it, but if you are referring to a grammar natzi, then, perhaps it was me. Guilty as charged.

  • http://www.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Welcome back, Mary. :) I admit to being very impressed with your acclimation skills. :) QT

  • Kat

    I think Jonathan Turley is on the verge of organizing a march upon the White House.

  • ceu

    And Bernie Sanders won one for the good guys!

  • jane from The Hague

    Takes balls, Mary. (Where is GI??) Lady Balls. Thatchers.

  • PackyJ

    QT – I don’t know if the publisher is actually laming, but I got the distinct impression that book sales aren’t what Bob had hoped for.A guest spot on one of these shows would help, I’m sure.So would a book tour.

  • gypsysoul

    mary didn’t you have a religion fight on here?

  • PackyJ

    Jonathan was on Public Radio today, too, ripping a new one.

  • jane from The Hague

    So they fixed that Smithsonian Bush portrait plaque issue? W0ot!

  • gypsysoul

    jane, why are you torturing yourself?

  • Mary in Omaha

    Nope, gypsysoul. No religion fight in me. I’m a mutt. 1/2 Irish/Catholic, 1/4 Mexican/Catholic, 1/4 Lebanese/Catholic…completely non-practicing…more agnostic/spiritual than anything else. And to top it off, formerly married to a Muslim from Kabul, Afghanistan.Put that in your pipe and smoke it…

  • http://hedonistperspective.typepad.com Alexander Rose

    Ex-Catholics in the house! *Raises the roof*

  • gypsysoul

    (wiping sweat) good. that lady was batshit crazy!

  • Alan4s

    Theo: the New England way to do Lobsters is to use a steamer pot. In the bottom part put water, sea salt, a stalk of celery or two, and maybe a cup of wine or two if you want. Bring the water to a brisk boil. Put your lobsters, live, into the upper part of the steamer and put the lid on. Give them about 10 minutes or so.Serve with melted butter. Special NE props to you if you tear into the head/body of the lobster too – there’s a bunch of good meat in there, but it’s messy to get at.

  • Alan4s

    Damn, kill a crustacean, kill the thread.

  • ceu

    well….screaming lobsters being boiled alive is not exactly an exciting topic… no offense meant.And now Rachel’s hitting Bush. go, Rachel!

  • Mary in Omaha

    Am I crazy or what, never tasted lobster in my life…poverty stricken here.

  • Mary in Omaha

    God I love Rachel!!! I wish I were gay! I would so worship her if I was!

  • Alan4s

    Mary, surprisingly enough, lobster is the cheapest it’s been in years up here. At $3.69/lb, it’s cheaper than bologna.

  • ceu

    Mary, i’m a native New Englander & I’ve tasted it once. I have a thing about eating food that’s dead eyes are staring at you……

  • cminri

    hey…is thing on ?!?!? where’d everyone go/

  • Alan4s

    Well, just pluck the damn eyes out, or turn him around the other way. Jeez – the human race would have died out 5,995 years ago if the Adam and the Eve were squirmish about consuming creatures.

  • Alan4s

    >> hey…is thing on ?!?!? where’d everyone goI think they all ran out to their local all-night lobster emporium.

  • Redmond

    Alan, you’ve got me contemplating a run to New England right now. $3.69/lb.?! I’ll look that sucker right in the eyes while I melt some butter.

  • jane from The Hague

    mmmm butter….mmmm eyes….

  • Redmond

    See? Jane knows what I’m talking about.Sometimes I draw eyes on my hamburgers. You know, because I’m Irish and those two somehow correlate.

  • jane from The Hague

    mmmmm Irish….mmmmm hamburgers….

  • Redmond

    Jane, have you been huffing markers again?Good girl.

  • jane from The Hague

    There are few things I’d rather do than eat lobster.And having the lobster watch me? mmmmm….

  • PackyJ

    A lobster walks into a bar, and takes a seat on a bar stool.The bartender sees him and says, “Say! We have a drink named after you!”The lobster is stunned. He replies: “You have a drink named Eric?”BadumpBump!

  • Redmond

    Ladies and gentlemen, Packy! Try the veal.

  • PackyJ

    Thanks ladies and germs, I’m here all week.

  • jane from The Hague

    mmmmm iiiiinnnnnnk….

  • Alan4s

    Mmmm, veal. Baby cows and steamed crustaceans. Can I get a ceaser salad, with anchovies, with my surf and turf please?

  • theo

    I shouldn’t have started this. Although, with all the advice, now I really want lobster.

  • theo

    oh my god I’m just now watching the Bush conference

  • PackyJ

    What are the lobster prices like where you live, Theo?Will you have to borrow from a prawnbroker to make the purchase?

  • veralynn

    anyone watching “W.T.F. (W. Thanks and Farewell)?

  • PackyJ

    Listening to KO here.We get it later than you people back in civilization.Heh.That’s true on so many levels.Heh.

  • Alan4s

    Let us know how they turn out theo. I’ll probably have them again this weekend too, now that I’m thinking about them.Since we’re on the theme, who here on the GDAB like oysters? (They don’t look at you.)

  • veralynn

    it is on currenttv, it has cartoons!!!!

  • jane from The Hague

    Theo, want in one hand, shit in the other…

  • prcleburne

    Mary in Omaha :D amn, I love Rachel Maddow. Her beauty and brains make her the sexiest woman on TV . If I were’nt already married to the braniest, most beautiful, sexiest woman on the planet, I would be knocking on her door in a New York minute. If she weren’t gay. Hell, I’d be knocking anyway.

  • theo

    I have no idea what the lobster prices are around here (Sacramento, CA), Packy. If it’s too much, we probably just won’t get it.

  • jane from The Hague

    Vera, please tell us more…a W farewell with cartoons? Sounds intriguing…

  • Redmond

    I’m also oddly attracted to the Maddow. Is it because men want what they can’t have? Or we secretly want a strong, intelligent woman? Or is it the blazer cleavage? I’m going with the blazer cleave.

  • GItheJOE

    OK, I am back and Bush is fucking lying!!!

  • PackyJ

    Theo – it’s not exactly the same, but Alaskan King Crab is a very palatable alternative.Trust me on this.

  • Redmond

    Yeah, did I just read that: Bush farewell with cartoons? Where can one see such shenanigans?

  • GItheJOE

    Clazer Beave!

  • PackyJ

    Joe my friend – Bush lying ain’t exactly a newsflash.

  • veralynn

    it has a very educational cartoon about how he fucked up with Katrina, state of the union speech and it did sound like the actual words a la tina fey, with kos and comics commenting….now they are doing a cartoon of the decision to wiretap us….damn this is funny! and now he is talking to bin laden….and cheney doing his noise…”hehe” jon stewart does it the best though, sean connery is there now

  • theo

    Packy: good advice.KO just made a Sorkin reference – I might need to be alone for a while.

  • Alan4s

    Packy, Alaskan King Crab is great! It’s actually more expensive here right now, but we splurge on it sometimes anyway.Damn, I’m hungry tonight.

  • jane from The Hague

    See, lurkers? It is teh easy to wake up a prime time thread (PTT). Dew Drop Inn!

  • gypsysoul

    somebody say oysters?!?!i like raw oysters, roasted oysters, grilled oysters, smoked oysters, baked oysters, fried oysters…so umm yeah i like oysters…nothing like oysters, hot sauce, and tequila…yummie

  • veralynn

    ok bush is now dracula, cheney is frankenstein!! hilary is the good witch glenda reprimanding them on habeus corpus and torture

  • Alan4s

    I knew I liked you gypsy – oysters are the food of the gods.

  • PackyJ

    Gypsy, I get the impression you like almost anything, as long as it’s accompanied by tequila.

  • Redmond

    Jesus, has anybody read this today?

    “I don’t think journalists should be anywhere allowed war (sic). I mean, you guys report where our troops are at. You report what’s happening day to day. You make a big deal out of it. I think it’s asinine. You know, I liked back in World War I and World War II when you’d go to the theater and you’d see your troops on, you know, the screen and everyone would be real excited and happy for them. Now everyone’s got an opinion and wants to downer-and down soldiers. You know, American soldiers or Israeli soldiers.”

    So, basically, Joe wants to watch Saving Private Ryan and imagine that’s what’s happening in Iraq. Because those facts and nuances really agitate his plumbing arm. You know, the one he might use one day when he becomes a millionaire plumber.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/12/joe-the-plumber-fights-wi_n_157239.html

  • cminri

    Due to my decreasing mental acuity (due to my advanced years), I am having trouble trying to PTT AND watch KO and/or Rachel at the same time. So like the movie..somethings gotta give…oh ..and I love lobstah rolls…

  • theo

    With all that in mind, has anyone tried lemon-butter crab or lobster? I’m kinda a seafood virgin – my only experience is fried calamari and sushi.

  • ceu

    you know what’s disgusting? Those friggin’ soft shell crabs in Balto. They put them on Parker House rolls and eat them, their little legs hanging over the edges.

  • gypsysoul

    i thought forbidden food was beans? hehe

  • PackyJ

    Vera – What the hell are you watching? What channel?

  • GItheJOE

    Redmond,Shut the fuck up!!! I am just getting over the stupidity behind that statement. Read first post of PTT. Akmad is going to help me. Let me see if I still have his number.What is the area code for Cuba?

  • veralynn

    W.T.F. (W., Thanks and Farewell) on currentit really is wonderful

  • http://hedonistperspective.typepad.com Alexander Rose

    Cause I’m a bit behind:Oyster rules as do lemon butter crab and lobster. Really, lobster just rules in general.As for Rachel, I say all three. She’s whip smart, a lesbian and blazer cleave wins.I mean, what more could a guy want… I mean, except for the whole she likes women thing. But guys are kind of into that too…

  • Alan4s

    What’s the gender-neutral term for gods and goddesses? Ah, yeah, oyster-eaters.Oysters are the food of the oyster-eaters!I dunno, doesn’t have the same ring to it.

  • PackyJ

    I’m thinking this a dish network thing, which I do not have.

  • gypsysoul

    seafood virgin?!?! in cali? the only thing i eat is seafood! i am expecting mercury poison anyday now!

  • Alan4s

    Damn ceu, you don’t like soft shell crabs? Okay, I’ll admit it, there’s not too many foods I don’t like.Curiously, the two foods on my no-fucking-way list both start with the letter “B” – bananas and beets. I’m not too fond of lima beans either (there’s that damn “b” again) but I have had them prepared in ways that make them kind of okay.Yeah, yeah, I know, bananas are good for you, the perfect food, blah, blah, blah. I just don’t like the taste, okay?

  • jane from The Hague

    Y’all like Rachel for the moles. Admit it.

  • gypsysoul

    are the quotes up theo? dumb question…i will just go check! so why am i still typing this and post…

  • GItheJOE

    Thank you theo. I couldn’t of done it without gypsy showing me what a “Clam” was and Jane showed me the beard.

  • Alan4s

    >> Jeezzzz…next you’ll be extollng the virtues of quahogs and muscles.Yep, both good. Steamers too. And squid – calamari is yummy.

  • theo

    Alan: I don’t like bananas either. Blech.Gyps: Yeah, and it’s long this week. Travis D, if you’re lurking, you got in this week.

    again, forgive me if i have done this wrong…but you can see a snippet at the following sitegood night allhttp://current.com/items/89709378/w_t_f_w_thanks_and_farewell_a_look_back_at_the_bush_years.htm

  • jane from The Hague

    I showed Joe the beard? Oh, he must mean his girlfriend.

  • gypsysoul

    jane i always brace myself before clicking your links!

  • jane from The Hague

    Gypsy, just take a shot. You’ll be fine.

  • ceu

    Alan – it may have something to do with puking up clam fritters at Misquamicut. Scarred me for life. [I have the same reaction to cotton candy...for the same reason.]

  • jane from The Hague

    Bracing myself for Joe going all Israel on my FB…

  • Alan4s

    They don’t sound appetizing, but in the right context I might try grubs, just to see what they are like.Live squid, as in sushi? Sure, no problem. I don’t know that I’d put a squirming squid in my mouth to swallow it, but I have no problem with it being mere seconds after the squirmimg.

  • theo

    alright, guys, sorry to bring this up again, but the vast recipes on the internet are scaring me.what’s the best way to cook crab?

  • jane from The Hague

    Jeebus, Chris, do they send you to a special class to pronounce all that shit up there?

  • http://hedonistperspective.typepad.com Alexander Rose

    Same with lobster…. boil the fuckers.

  • ceu

    at someone else’s house, theo

  • GItheJOE

    She has soft hands and an adams apple just the way I like it.

  • theo

    Jane: what are you referring to?

  • Alan4s

    >> Jeebus, Chris, do they send you to a special class to pronounce all that shit up there?No, they don’t. If you attempt it, and say it wrong, you’ll puke. I’m thinking that’s what got ceu.

  • jane from The Hague

    Alan, Domino’s in Seoul had a squid pizza. Ringed with sweet potato. And instead of packets of garlic butter, they give you sweet pickles (?).Freaked the (stupid) Americans out.

  • gypsysoul

    jane i have actually met that catwoman briefly. have no idea what she was saying to me so i just smiled. she walked off and said “dumb as rocks” hahaha.

  • jane from The Hague

    gypsy, you talking about Joe’s girlfriend?If that “woman” called you stupid you should take it as a compliment.

  • Alan4s

    Theo: depends somewhat on the type of crabs. King crab – steam them, like the lobsters. Dungenes or Chesepeake Bay blue crabs, boil them with Bay Seasoning.Seafood really is the simplest thing to cook, as long as you don’t need all the stuffing and cream sauce and stuff.

  • gypsysoul

    axl, you so el-eh-gant-tae with your food cookery talk

  • cminri

    hey..did someone say Misquamicut?!?!

  • ceu

    What shit? Misquamicut? You pronounce it just the way it’s written Miss-qualm-i-cut. stress on the second syllable, I think (can’t tell ’cause i say it fast, ya know?”The tough ones are in Maine, like Pemigawasett and Androscogin. New Hampshire has a few – Ashuelot (and yes, they do laugh when people pronounce it wrong) and Coos (it’s two syllables).In PA, Schuylkill stumps a lot of folks.

  • theo

    thanks to alan, ceu and axl.

  • cminri

    my favorite RI place is Quonochontaug,i have no idea how to say it.

  • Alan4s

    Alright, bedtime for me. Off to dream of steamed, boiled, broiled, or grilled sea creatures.Chat with you all on the ‘morrow…

  • jane from The Hague

    Chris, that’s the one, Schuylkill. I still dunno how to say it, even after all the campaigning. All I remember is Colbert misunderpronouncing it.

  • gypsysoul

    ceu >> Ashuelot?! did you just call me a bitch ass ho in new hampshire-en?

  • Teh Minx

    Yikes! What’s with the sea food tonight?!

  • gypsysoul

    like you don’t know minx…meow

  • ceu

    How soon before Joe the Plum gets his own reality show? Or becomes the next Bachelor? or a guest judge on Top Chef??? (no, they wouldn’t do that…would they?)

  • PackyJ

    Mmmm. Geoduck.

  • ceu

    It’s sorta like “School Kill” but the end of School is gutteral. a cross between school & skull.And, no, gypsy. The Ashuelot is a little river thru Keene ….where there are a number of bitch ass hos, IIRC. (yes, I did leave there. why do you ask?) Ash-we-lot, stress on the we.Just think, the next time you guys come to New England you can be not laughed at! Unless you try to buy some of those disgusting maple sugar candies. (shudder)

  • jane from The Hague

    Mmmmm….Tofurducken….

  • ceu

    they’ve used geoduck on Top Chef once. looks….not good.

  • jane from The Hague

    Ceu, your Indians (ha!) have more fucked-up words than our Indians. (Am I right, Ash?)

  • gypsysoul

    jane you ain’t neva lied!

  • jane from The Hague

    Ceu’s Indians musta got more blankets than ours.What, too soon?

  • theo

    that may have been the best Daily Show segment ever.

  • gypsysoul

    haha…and shut the fuck up!

  • Teh Minx

    Oooohhh, Maple Sugar Candy… I’m just kidding…Actually, there is NOTHING, repeat, NOTHING that I wouldn’t do for Rocky Road Fudge right now. Argghhhh!!

  • ceu

    nonsense. Mine were the Pequots & the Mashantucket – perfectly non-fucked up.Have you recovered from the press conference yet, you poor dear? I can’t imagine watching the whole thing…

  • PackyJ

    Ceu, How many times have I told you?Joe the Plumber and Reality™ should NOT be used in the same sentence!

  • jane from The Hague

    I just cain’t see to type, Chris. And I didn’t watch the whole thing. Just…enough.

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    Minx,They’re talking Indian words. Tell ‘em about Oconomowoc. (spell check just told me I misspelled socioeconomic)

  • gypsysoul

    theo…quote alert!Ceu’s Indians musta got more blankets than ours.What, too soon?Posted by: jane from The Hague at January 12, 2009 11:06 PMi am still laughing about it!

  • ceu

    LOL! That’s a mouthful, PolParPoo.Packy – scariest thing is that for too many, Joe the Plum IS reality. Can you believe it?

  • Redmond

    Joe the Plumber is about as real as this leprechaun here telling me to drink.Wait a minute, GI, get out of my office!

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    This is some scary shit.http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/israel_iran_attack_plan/2009/01/12/170485.htmlHate to be a buzzkill, but if Israel attacks Iran, it’s time to head for the hills with extra bullets.

  • jane from The Hague

    Drink, Boobmaster, drink…

  • jane from The Hague

    P3, I’m gonna (re)kidnap Elvis and head for The Tahiti.

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

  • gypsysoul

  • theo

    PPP – are you my dad? you seem…quite a lot like him.

  • gypsysoul

    oh shit, i want a sex slave on an island! who’s left?! or can i join you jane?! you won’t be able to see me past elvis’ big head!

  • wabewawa

    @ theo:Is this what inspired your culinary queries?George the Giant LobsterI’m a bit media-deprived (can only watch Rachel and Keith online, e.g.), so thinking maybe I was originally missing the possible obviousness of your lobsterishness tonight when I saw this.Yep, jane, those Algonquin words can be quite the tongue-tiers, can’t they? (says the Anishinaabemowin/Chippewa-monikered wabewawa, whose handle is actually related to her daughter’s middle name, who is ~1/3 Native American via 4 different Nations, but mostly Chippewa)

  • theo

    Jane – guilty as charged.

  • jane from The Hague

    Gyps, the jogging-with-the-dogs and the wearing-of-the-khakis seem like goddamn awesome plans. I can offer nothing further.Heckuva job, Olly!

  • theo

    Eesh, sorry wabewawa, I was scrolling and thought Jane had written that. So:wabewawa: guilty as charged. couldn’t help it, that huge motherfucker looked yummy.Gypsy, misinterpret that as you will.

  • ceu

    Anishinaabemowin? Seriously? That one’s horrible.

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    Gypsy,With men the direct route is the best route. Just come right out with it. Subtle displays of boobs are nice, but if you want to show the bubbles, you have to remove the tarp

  • ceu

    one last thing on the blankets….http://store.cottonfactory.com/cf-401.htmlyou may not want to look, gypsy

  • PackyJ

    That’s noble of you, Gypsy. No one could ask more.

  • jane from The Hague

    Geez, Theo. You mean the moles comment? Way to make a girl scroll.

  • gypsysoul

    >> guilty as charged. couldn’t help it, that huge motherfucker looked yummy. quote time!and leave it out of context…hehe

  • jane from The Hague

    I still think you meant the moles.

  • theo

    gyps: you mean, have I finally been nominated for a GDAB QOTW quote? tears

  • gypsysoul

    this is my favorite native shirt!http://www.carryabigsticker.com/images/Home_security_1492_TS_logo.jpgi still have to work on the link thingy…

  • jane from The Hague

    Gyps, I loved that Ghost Ship clip (the other day) soooooo much I cannot say. Was awesome.

  • gypsysoul

    i loves me some gore!

  • gypsysoul

    yes theo. that was top quality kat-aprovable funny!

  • gypsysoul

    where’s the brothers? their absence can not be good! jane what did you do to them? i think only elvis could handle you!

  • theo

    Gyps: according to the facebook, GI went to bed.

  • wabewawa

    theo opined:

    Eesh, sorry wabewawa, I was scrolling and thought Jane had written that.

    Well, I know I’m feeling as complimented now as ceu did when Mary thought she was Bob. Even though it was purely accidental and not based on style. Just to see “thought Jane had written that,” whew.

  • gypsysoul

    >>>Gyps: according to the facebook, GI went to bed.pansy ass… it’s like he’s trying to get an education or something.

  • jane from The Hague

    WabewawawawawaMMawewawa, she just meant it sounded like a thousand monkeys banging on a thousand typewriters.But thanks!

  • wabewawa

    Well, ding-dang it, get a rope and hang it, I guess I just got “typefaced” for the first time. Threads should come with a warning to compose posts somewhere else and then C&P here.The missing missive was mainly directed to ceu. Here’s one for your next party:Awenenag gaashkaabaagweyeg?(Who all here’s thirsty?)Haven’t confirmed it, but I swear Ojibwe/Chippewa has got to be the most polysyllabic language, next to Welsh.

  • wabewawa

    WabewawawawawaMMawewawa

    Yegawds, jane, don’t you know better than to try to make up words in another language? Do you have any idea what you just said?! It’s like going to another country and accidentally flipping someone the bird when you were just trying to straighten your glasses or something.j/k (or maybe not, for all I know … I had to call the half-Chippewa dad-person ex to the get the “thirsty” phrase info)

  • gypsysoul

    wabewawa, i am cherokee. do you speak a native language?

  • gypsysoul

    obviously not from previous post…hehe

  • jane from The Hague

    lol, bitches

  • jane from The Hague

    I do know in S. Korea you point down at the street to hail a cab. (Not sure what is so insulting about the waving.) Thanks for reminding me. I’ll try not to unintentionally cause a gang war next time I travel.

  • gypsysoul

    really jane? i would absolutely get myself in trouble somehow…at least arrested development taught me not to do the chicken dance in mexico…hehewhy did the chicken cross the road…to tell me i was doing the chicken dance wrong…oh. bam. bang. snazzle. furry balls. i am “on” tonight!

  • theo

    just doing a time check to see if this thread’s still active.

  • theo

    yes, yes it is.

  • gypsysoul

    is it considered active if it is only me talking to myself?

  • wabewawa

    No, gypsy, unfortunately, I don’t. I’m a little bit Cherokee too, and some Mi’kmaq (where two of my daughter’s four Nations come from), but I don’t know any of the languages. The dad-person, who is half Chippewa and a little Ottawa, is the only Injun in the family who speaks a Native language (now that his mom has passed), though not fluently. He did recently begin teaching our daughter Anishinaabemowin/Chippewa, though, and they are starting to converse in it together.

  • gypsysoul

    that’s nice. i need to learn. i know spanish and some french, korean, italian but i haven’t started cherokee yet…

  • gypsysoul

    wabewawa, are you on facebook?

  • wabewawa

    Hah. Well, I missed where you caught that already, gypsy. But just because I don’t speak Chippewa doesn’t mean that I couldn’t speak some other Native language, now, does it, hmm, hmm? (Though I really don’t, feh.)Here’s another winner for Chippewa lengthiness, the word for telephone:ngiigaadoobiiaapkonhsimhttp://www.anishinaabemdaa.com/voicemail.htm

  • wabewawa

    @ gypsyYeppers. You’ve already befriended me, darlin’. :)

  • wabewawa

    Oops, sorry, that’s actually Ottawa for “telephone.” Though there’s probably just a hair’s dialectical difference between Ottawa and Chippewa.

  • gypsysoul

    yikes! why did we do that do ourselves?!i must have missed your “coming out” of the real name…i will look on list and send you a shout out tomorrow.i am putting me, all my selves, and my vagina to nite nite now.nite jane, i know you are out there lurking. no way could you have fed all your gimps by now! if you can see past elvis’ head i am pointing at the ground for a korean goodnight wave to you.

  • wabewawa

    Sweet dreams to gypsy and her vajayjay and her coterie of selves.>>lol, bitchesNah, just me. Pretty sure gypsy was just commenting on my lack of Native language skills, so I was the only snarker there. Oh, wait, she was snarking me a bit, wasn’t she? You’re right, jane, bitches, plural. Thanks for having my back at the same time you’re flipping me off, hee. Quelle skillz you got.Whee!And now I really must hie thee to the coal mines. See you all’s luego.

  • wabewawa

    Bimise makizinan = flying shoes(Algonquin makasin/makizin -> moccasin)

  • dontpanic23

    Gypsy, I have that shirt, love that shirt. I’m a walking billboard and saw that a while back and had to have. It goes nicely with my Sitting Bull poster “Why Can’t White Men Act Like Human Beings?” that has been on a wall in every place I’ve lived since about age 16. That was nearly in SB’s lifetime.Ceu, the crab leg hanging out of the bread nearly made me lose my breakfast. I was a hermit crab granny for the 4-5 years my daughter was in the UK and not allowed to take them. Something about there being enough crabs in the UK…
