  • The Minx is Still Silent

    So! Is anyone going for those Townhall magazine subscriptions? I just can’t decide between the Sarah Palin Calendar or a Free Copy of the latest Ann Coulter tome!! Decisions, decisions!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Minx – I got both by getting two subscriptions! Really, it’s TOTALLY worth. Time to get liquored up to make the wingnut pain go away. See you in an hour.

  • Mike H.

    How much did we raise?

  • The Minx is Still Silent

    Or perhaps I should just go for the “free” Republican loan/fundraising material?If anyone is offering a Nyquil Bonus, I’m taking it.Signed,Still Voiceless

  • The Minx is Still Silent

    Hey Mike! Are you still offering rides to the ladies? I’m interested; that is, when I am vertical for longer than an hour and can speak…Sickness, Whew, Sexy!!

  • Curly Lasagna

    Minx,Best laugh I had all day. As much as I’d LOVE a copy of “Tranny,” err…I mean “Guilty,” I going upstairs and change my affiliation and get me some o’ that Free Republican Grant Money. Never Pay It Back!GOP economic stimulus……..Yum!

  • The Minx is Still Silent

    Curly Lasagna, Yum!

  • emsique

    Aiyah! You Amelicans always punishing yourselves with brain damaging propaganda. Ignore the crazy person on the street. Don’t make eye contact, and walk away!Minx, boil some ginger, strain, add lemon juice, honey, and a double shot of Stohli. Better than Nyquil!

  • GIthePotato

    I am chomping at the bit over this stimulus bill.

  • The Minx is Still Silent

    Any particular flavor of Stoli (or is it Stohli?), M-seek?

  • The Minx is Still Silent

    wow! Rots & rots of trolls on other threads, today. They may appear here, just so you know GIthePotato. That said, how are the puppers??

  • The Minx is Still Silent

    Whoo-hoo!! Sarah Palin Bikini calendar with subscription to Townhall mag! Are you going for it, GI the Potato??

  • ceu

    Heh – best Cesca comment on a thread ever. (ok, maybe not BEST but perfect timing from my POV)

  • GIthePotato

    Minx puppies are doing well. One of them is really fluffy for a chihuahua.I would rather jerk off with sand paper before getting a Sarah Palin calendar.

  • Chris

    Cable news is terrible, for the most part. High on enertainment, low on accurate information.

  • emsique

    I used to be a bar manager! Stoli. Stupid me. Plain Stoli is good. Lemon Stoli only good for oyster shooters. One oyster in a shot glass. Fill with lemon Stoli. Not good for sick girl, though. Too much snot inducement.

  • Kat

    Emsique, that sounds more disturbing than the Sarah Palin calendar.

  • emsique

    I’m holding out for the Barbara Bush bikini calendar.

  • Kat

    So I’m a little nervous. What will happen when the PTT moves to the conference committee? Will we all survive? Will 44% of us be cut?

  • ceu

    I think your position’s safe here, Kat.Anyone know LameDuckHunting’s new id?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Yeah, you know which 44%, Kat.

  • GItheScholar

    LDH is GIthePOTATO and in the lower 44%. Therefore they should be cut.Did any of you see my troll hunting earlier? I think I may have gone to far.

  • jane

    Is it really this fucking dead tonight, or is everyone off troll-slaying?

  • jane

    (doh. hard refresh much?)

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Hey Jane, the troll has gone to the next post. Probably bouncing back and forth.

  • GItheScholar

    Hunting!!!

  • Teh Minx is still silent

    Yes, GI, I did see your earlier posts. I am confused on one point, though, are you both Joe, Scholar AND Potato? Or has Lame Duck Hunting taken over the Potato? Why does everyone keep going through these identity crises??!?

  • dontpanic23

    I’m out on family medical leave. But I live in NC so you can cut me for any reason. So I guess I wait for my PTT pink slip with trembling lips.

  • Kat

    DP, you are grandfathered in (and I mean that in a good way, not a McCain kind of way).

  • GIthePotato

    Kat,Nice yellow tooth comment!

  • jane

    Is Joe really over there kicking ass on the next thread?Chris (not ceu) is seejane. (Ain’t he clever?) And some of the one-offs I have my doubts about being different from chris or cnn/origins//// aka slash hacker.

  • dontpanic23

    THanks, Kat (whew).Today a woman 10 years younger or so than me helped me get from one part of Hospital City to another. I ran into her on the way back and she said she thought to herself “that’s the same little old—that’s the same lady I helped earlier.” Ouch. So I don’t dye my fucking hair. I’m Not Old. I’m semi-old.

  • emsique

    My identity is sound. Not troll hunting. Eating awesome breakfast: Noodles, dumplings, greens, and a yummy little tamale thingy called “uhyuh” made with sticky rice and all kinds of fillings, steamed in a banana leaf. Better than that crap Kellogg sells. My question is:If pot was unavailable, would the sale of Pop Tarts plummet?

  • jane

    DP, I hope you’ve had a not-too-bad time in Hospitalville. We’ve been missing you tons.God, I sound all nice. Must drink more.

  • ceu

    I think I’m grandfathered, too.I remember when we could name all the posters. Speaking of which, what happened to Bajasteve? i miss him…

  • dontpanic23

    The SeeJane and Chris stuff confused my exhausted brain for a few posts. Maybe we should answer the trolls with their exact names. Might make them run away.

  • Kat

    I don’t think so, Jane. Chris (not our smart Chris) doesn’t sound quite like origins/cnnnews/slasher. I think we may have multiple trolls.I’m off to watch Pineapple Express, which apparently is an excellent stoner movie. Not that I will be getting stoned. My ex got the dealer in the split. Bastard.

  • jane

    Skiba popped out of lurkerville last night to cheer me on.Bobster posted a link to an older post and I got to rereading shit from last summer one day, and saw a bunch of names I haven’t seen in a while.

  • dontpanic23

    Thanks, Nice-Jane. I’ve missed all of you non-trolls for too many weeks. This is my last fucking crisis. (knock on wood). No one I know better get sick and boy-child best come home with charges dropped. I want my fucking LIFE back.

  • dontpanic23

    Skiba! I dream of her.

  • emsique

    Pineapple Express! You can watch it straight, too! Move to the west coast, Kat! Easy to score1

  • Kat

    Cousinavi popped back in a week or so ago for a couple posts. And PecosBill showed up on the PTT one night too. But I haven’t seen LiveFreeorDie08 since the elections. :(

  • jane

    Amen DP. Enjoy the movie Kat. (I think Cnn and StupidChris are two people too, but myrightfoot and defromsac might be //// again.)

  • dontpanic23

    Saw Ashby a week or two ago in a day thread. Wanted to call him out but it wasn’t the time. I miss him too.

  • GIthePotato

    OH SHIT!!!! Jane, congratulations on stomping the shit out of trolls last night. I was dying from the RINO virus last night and needed sleepy.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Well, Bob must be doing something right to attract these trolls. A necessary evil I suppose. I don’t mind having a good debate, but it would be nice to have to debate facts and not delusions.

  • jane

    Where’s Red? Did the octomom have silicone lip injections??? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!

  • ceu

    And Natashark, she’s missed, too. So many have passed this way…..Wow – I’m feeling a bit miffed about the (implied) dissing of Bristol, CT on Keith tonight.

  • jane

    Carl, I was just thinking about what StupidChris said about “Isn’t it boring having everyone agree all the time?”Yeah. I hate this getting along shit. I prefer asshats like Pat Buchannot screaming cliches instead while helpless intelligentsia like Krugman can’t get a fucking word in.And many, many thanks for everyone who got my back last night. I was In A Mood.

  • jane

    Remember Bearswife, the Canadian? She was funny.

  • dontpanic23

    Recruit Gal? Long time.Cousin Avi–oh, man.

  • jane

    Avi and JM Ash were both around today.

  • dontpanic23

    Shit. I gotta quit this other stuff and just read Bob and company all day. I keep missing things.Well, thanks for the update.

  • veralynn

    Wow, Carl is kicking some serious ass on the other posts….

  • jane

    Too fucking much to read today, and 44% of it not worth the moving of the eyeballs.

  • jane

    Ongoing, Vera, or earlier? He’s been on fire.

  • GIthePotato

    These new trolls are pussies!! I am trying to get a raise out of them but it isn’t working. I even told one I fucked his daughter in law and got nothing. Come on people help me stir the pot.

  • veralynn

    ongoing jane, and GI I saw that, you didn’t even get a rise outta that guy

  • jane

    GI, that was so fucking beautiful I wanted to hang it over my couch in the living room.

  • jane

    Which thread Vera? I swear I can’t bear the thought of seeking that out without a map right now…

  • GIthePotato

    Jane, I want to hang you over my fireplace for your work last night.

  • jane

    I promise to match the decor.

  • veralynn

    “another quote of the day” jane

  • veralynn

    sorry, GI’s fun is there, let me see where Carl is

  • veralynn

    “780″ is Carl’s fun

  • jane

    Chris is the troll-du-jour on 780. Read what the fucker said about how waterboarding is good here, 12:55 am Feb. 5.

  • jane

    Seriously, people, I made some Phelps brownies for everyone. Stop feeding trolls with facts and logic, the ones we have seem to thrive like fucking kudzu on it.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    If only they really did thrive, Jane, instead of being ignorant and jacking off to the Sarah Palin Convention acceptance speech.

  • GIthePotato

    Jane, when someone refers to any human being as an ANIMAL because of their belief system there are real problems with that. That guy scares me and doesn’t give a shit about soldiers just like every NEOCON. This is horrible.

  • jane

    Agreed all. I thought we could try some “enhanced interrogation” on StupidChris but it doesn’t seem to work, he/she/it has devolved into common troll MO. (Perhaps our calling it a lame troll made it do some homework?)In other news, is everyone else’s FB fucked up royally tonight? We broke it, I think.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Yeah, Facebook lookslike it’s Fuckedbook tonight.

  • GIthePotato

    Checking FB.

  • ceu

    my fault, Jane. Sorry

  • seechris

    Smart Chris broke the FB.

  • ceu

    I certainly tried. :)

  • ceu

    and the joy is in the journey…. :)

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Head over to the next thread. Douchebag Chris is now advocating waterboarding, agrees with torture and thinks he knows something about… well, thinks he knows something.

  • ceu

    Did we know that today was St. Ron’s birthday?Cable news missed a HUGE opportunity with that one

  • ceu

    poor deluded kid. Wasn’t alive for Reagan or Carter, but is fucking expert on how life was under them, all the same

  • jane from The Hague

    This is the Time Out room, for when we spectators have had enough of StupidChris.

  • veralynn

    I cant believe I let that guy get to me!! I usually just enjoy all of you taking them on, but he seemed so reasonable, I got punked. That sucks

  • veralynn

    nice touch putting “from The Hague” back in jane :)

  • jane from The Hague

    He’s been back and forth, Vera. Like the very definition of “tease” or “lure.” He’s succeeding in getting our fucking goat, for sure. Hopefully he’ll get bored, although he was willing to annoy me when EVERYBODY else was asleep last night…which I took pleasure in pointing out.

  • Alan4s

    So, are you taking the late shift again tonight Jane? I’m afraid I’m off to bed, after spending way too much time on StupidChris all day and night.

  • jane from The Hague

    Fucking great job today, Alan. I’m here for a little while. ‘Till I get agitated and drink myself into a stupor. Goodnight.

  • ceu

    Well, that’s where you went wrong, Veralynn. You never let them get to you. That makes them happy. And a happy troll is never a good thing.

  • veralynn

    my first troll interaction….i will know better next time, thanks ceu

  • Kat

    What’s up, troll killas? My movie provided the perfect quote for the Repubelicans: ‘Prepare to suck the cock of karma.’ Geniusness.

  • jane from The Hague

    It tried to suck up today, said it didn’t agree with Bush all the time, didn’t hate Clinton so much etc etc, it was all a big fucking ruse to engage someone. (Which worked.)

  • jane from The Hague

    Welcome back, Kat. Did you Phelps a little?

  • http://www.ieatgravel.com/ I Eat Gravel in Alaska

    HI!

  • veralynn

    that is a great quote

  • Kat

    Fuck no, Jane. I wish I had though.Jebus, I just flipped through the 780 post. It’s a fucking bloodbath in there! Nice job, guys & gals.

  • jane from The Hague

    Howdy, Recent The Office Convert. Troll slaying on aisle 4.

  • SillyGit

    Chris (ceu, not t’other) -Big Handshake on defending Carter. You and I see many things the same way. I’m a big Carter fan for the same reasons as you.

  • http://www.ieatgravel.com/ I Eat Gravel in Alaska

    Woohoo! I’ll sharpen my daggers.

  • ceu

    anytime, Git. Pisses me off when idiots diss Carter. Maybe he wasn’t a great president, but he was far from the worst and he is a GOOD man.

  • jane from The Hague

    With you 110%, Smartchris.

  • jane from The Hague

    Any lurkers? stragglers? We’re engaging in a lovefest over on the 780 thread, and it seems to be working, aside from calming everyone’s blood pressure.

  • Kat

    780 is the new 420.

  • jane from The Hague

    Kat, heh.

  • SillyGit

    I don’t see Chris (t’other, not ceu) as a troll. I think he’s honestly trying to see why we think the way we do. He’s here to debate and perhaps learn and perhaps change our minds.In other words, I think he is a conservative with proper intentions. I don’t think we should treat him as a troll, rather treat him as someone with a different outlook and belief system.He has remained polite even when we have not (I’m just as guilty as anyone, so it’s not intended as criticism of anyone here).I think he (or she) has earned some respect. I’ve looked over the Chris posts and in retrospect I can’t find any post that appear to be intentionally provocative, this person is just expressing a difference of opinion.This is food for thought, but I am no longer going to treat this Chris person as a troll.cnn is a troll, origins is sometimes a troll, sometimes not.I’m convinced at this point that Chris is not a cnn or origin sockpuppet.I don’t agree with much of anything Chris says, but he’s allowed to have opinions different from mine.

  • jane from The Hague

    cnn=origins, I’m pretty sure.Chris=seejane, if you didn’t figure that one out.Chris also said some fairly childish crap last night, have you reread those threads? It also freely admits it approves of torture. All the other shit is TRYING TO SUCK YOU IN!!!!

  • SillyGit

    And I certainly will debate him.

  • jane from The Hague

    Git, that’s what it wants. Fuck sake. That’s the point. Didn’t you learn after those crazy Spaghettologists?

  • SillyGit

    yes, I skipped over the seejane nonsense and I should not have.No I did not review every thread Chris was on.The approval of torture and referring to the ‘terrorists’ as animals did not escape my notice.He appears to buy that shit that waterboarding is not torture because John Yu wrote ‘one’ legal opinion saying that *maybe* it isn’t. Never mind the multiple treaties and over 100 other DoJ legal opinions that say that it is.

  • SillyGit

    jane – I think you’ve talked me down. Thanks.

  • jane from The Hague

    (oh dear god) Crisis averted! People Were Worried, Git. Glad you’re back. Have some pie. We’ll call off the intervention.

  • ceu

    BTW, Veralynn. I read your posts over there. You didn’t come off as having lost it – you did a great job! You did not make the troll happy, which makes us happy. :)

  • SillyGit

    Hehe – Palin wants Obama to lay some pipe. That sounds like stimulus. Maybe even jobs.bad Git, very bad Git.

  • veralynn

    thanks ceu, i sure felt like it!
