    Racist Troll. My favorite type of troll.

  • ceu

    I don’t like Pat Buchanan. I don’t like him at all…

  • GIthePotato

    Shankapotimus!

  • dontpanic23

    Why do all the trolls here use the word “chump”. did they all take the same middle school course or are they all the same person? (I only got several posts down the one tonight and There It Was. Chump.

  • dontpanic23

    *pardon punctuation fuckups above*

  • Dan in DE

    Damn!! Not again!*refers to previous thread*What am I doing wrong here”?! what does it take to embed a link???does it actually need those little quotation marks in there.. what is it?

  • dontpanic23

    Dan, if I’m wrong, blame the drugs or Git: whatever text I’ve never tried it but i think that’s it–h/t to, I think, SillyGit on a late night lesson to someone else that I made note of, bitch. (I’m southern and can’t end a sentence in a preposition without difficulty so sorry to call you a bitch, Dan. It comes from an old joke).

  • dontpanic23

    crap,let me fix that

  • dontpanic23

    try this: words

  • dontpanic23

    Shit.Okay– wordsIf I’ve fucked it up this time I give up…and might retire for the night.

  • Dan in DE

    Low blow.. and a broken link!!one more try: Shizzam! Oh well, I’m just gonna blame it on these damn German keyboards.

  • dontpanic23

    Fuckity fuckface. wordsLAST ATTEMPT, then I’m a total moron.

  • dontpanic23

    I’m a moron. G’night and good luck. Get Git to ‘splain it.

  • dontpanic23

    whatever text now I’m on a mission.bracket, a href, equals, quotations, URL, quotations, your text word,bracket, /, a, end bracket.That’s all I got.

  • Mills

    Chump.

  • dontpanic23

    Cute.

  • dontpanic23

    Not

  • Mills

    sike.

  • jane

    Ah, Irony. How I love thee.

  • dontpanic23

    Oh, Jane. How I love thee.

  • ceu

    Jimmy Carter on Olbermann tonight

  • jane

    Oh DP! I fucking love thee!

  • dontpanic23

    Do you think it was Howard’s hair or animal sex that brought this one in?

  • emsique

    Herro, Amelican hippies! I’ve been busy teaching Engrish to cute Chinese kids. It was in the high 80′s yesterday! I see the Repubes are still douches and will continue for the remainder of their hopefully short careers.

  • gypsy

    “sike”?!

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

    sike.

    Do you mean, “psych”, troll?

  • jane

    Yes, M-seek, you are missing NOT A THING. Essentially.

  • dontpanic23

    I think he/she was saying I’m a sicko. I couldn’t argue that one, I suppose.Jane, you fell off the Goddamn FB.

  • http://www.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Hi Mills! I posted a welcome to you in the other thread. And also “chump.”(Just figured it must be fun to say.)QT

  • dontpanic23

    And herro, M-sike.

  • Kat

    Did somebody say animal sex?

  • dontpanic23

    We need to go back and see which ones used “chump” and assume they are the same person. Lot ‘o that going around with the origins/cnns and others I can’t keep up with.Hi, QT! Heard your name on the BobLeecast.

  • jane

    QT, that was a very gracious, yet appropriately cautioning, welcome. I give it a thumb up.

  • emsique

    Do we have a troll? Like the pesky little brother, just ignore them and they eventually get bored and go away.

  • dontpanic23

    Kat, now we will also turn up in the googles when that term is searched. Paddy admitted to finding that a little disturbing in their stats.

  • http://www.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Hey DP! Good to see you. And yes, my name was on the BobLeecast. Two different instances even! But I never did learn what it was that I said that Lee liked. :( Oh well. Still glad to know that he liked something I said. OH! And he and Bob both think I’m smart. (Did I mention that this was probably going to carry me for the whole rest of February?)QT

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

    No, esmique, we don’t ignore. At least not in the last couple of weeks.

  • http://www.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Thank you, Jane! Someone has to be around to rescue potential-not-trolls from the troll-patrol! :) QT

  • dontpanic23

    QT, I have only gotten through half the podcast (crazy here lately, in turbo) but you really got props. Deserving so, I might add. And I pictured you floating on a cloud all day.

  • Packy

    Why all the fuss about Mills use of the word chump?

  • dontpanic23

    Shouldn’t that sign say “chimp”?

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

    Did anyone else just see that commercial during the KO break calling global warming a hoax from americansforprosperity.org? Holy shit!

  • dontpanic23

    Hi Carlos, thanks for reminding me to wrangle the remote from my recovering heart patient–don’t worry, he was asleep. But no, I missed the ad.

  • Kat

    By the way….merkin

  • dontpanic23

    I lucked up on a definition that gave the root as malkin. Heh.

  • jane

    Merkin! Merkin merkin merkin.Adding: merkin merkin, merkin merkin merkin merkin.

  • Packy

    Kat, there’s a whole world out there that I never knew existed!

  • Kat

    So, does that mean the GDAB will pop up if someone Googles ‘Malkin’s merkin’?

  • cminri

    Just so you know..if you google “ham monuments” the GDAB is the first listing! woo hooo!

  • jane

    Ijust googled ‘merkin cesca’ and the fourth result was from the night Gypsy made her Big Confession and Chris linked me to an article about shaving cats, to which I said something about that yielding enough fur for a merkin. The moar you know.Also, merkin merkin merkin. We have a ways to go to be at the top of the list.Merkin.

  • dontpanic23

    Or Malkin’s Merkin of Ham?

  • jane

    HAM MONUMENTS!!!!woohoo!

  • cminri

    How about monuments to merkins made out of ham??

  • emsique

    Wow, I googled emsique and got me on all kinds of hippie sites and the local paper site, too. But my new blog doesn’t show up which is really weird since it’s a Google site.

  • Mills

    Is this one of those, “I’m going to ignore everything you’ve written and remind you that you don’t know how to spell a word that I know how to spell,” threads?I can’t wait to see some semantics.

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

    Merkin. Isn’t that the name of King Arthur’s wizard?

  • jane

    CM, you don’t get the same result with ‘ham monument’ (singular). Weird, huh?

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

    Mills – pretty much. Have you offered anything to debate on this thread?

  • jane

    Mills, this is the Nature of the Prime Time Threads.Don’t feel left out if you are ignored. It’s not personal, to be sure.

  • Kat

    Nah, Mills. This is one of those threads when Bob lets us talk about whatever we want to discuss. Tonight, the topic is merkins. We also talk about Howard Fineman’s hair and the rapturous beauty and intelligence of Rachel Maddow.

  • dontpanic23

    Maybe Howard’s hairthing was a misplaced merkin merkin merkin.

  • Kat

    DP, you are a fucking genius!!!

  • emsique

    I loves me some good lookin Amazon left wing smart TV women.

  • dontpanic23

    Nah, just looked at Packy’s link and thought back on Howard’s hair. It isn’t genius. It’s insanity.

  • emsique

    Isn’t it great not to have to listen to a chimpy chump say merkin, nucyuler, and terrrists?

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

    WOW! Jimmy Carter just now on KO: “[Obama] didn’t get any votes in the House of Representatives. As you know, Republicans representatives are like robots. They have to do what their bosses tell them, they can’t put into consideration what’s best for the country or what’s best for their own district. If they do, they’ll lose their seat on a committee or lose their future benefits for their district, so they have to vote the way they are told.” ZING!

  • Kat

    I lurve Jimmy Carter.

  • dontpanic23

    And don’t forget “misunderestimated”.

  • Mills

    Broadmay — Yankees or Mets?

  • dontpanic23

    Broadmay? You really know how to endear yourself with a bang, eh?

  • Kat

    It could be just me…actually it probably is just me…but I have a hard time taking Twitter seriously. Every time I hear someone say “tweet,” I just want to snicker.

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

    I’ll consider it a typo, DP, even though the “m” is nowhere near the “w”. Mets, Mills.

  • dontpanic23

    It’s okay, Kat. Every time I tweet I want to eat a Snickers.

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

    Every time I hear someone say “tweet,” I just want to snicker.I suppose it’s better than “twit.”

  • dontpanic23

    Alright, Carlos. I’ll go with the typo theory for now.

  • Mills

    sure due.

  • Packy

    Next time I go on vacation, I plan on flying with Merkin Airlines!

  • gypsy

    hey mills, are you a “we” or a “they”?

  • Kat

    And what serial killer do you look like?

  • gypsy

    haha. ham monuments and cesca! that’s some funny shit…

  • jane

    And Mills, what’s your bra size?

  • Mills

    I’m a they that went we in November.

  • gypsy

    kat and jane trying to get rid of peeople our old school way!

  • emsique

    MMMMMMM Snickers! You can get them at the Wal Mart here. That and Budweiser, which for the life of me I can’t imagine anyone would like over a Tsing Tao!I did see some PBR here, once. Looks cool with Chinese writing on it.

  • Mills

    What’s the old school way?

  • Kat

    If that is our “old school way,” Gyps, it obviously doesn’t work. We’ve tortured plenty of PTTers with those questions before, and they still come around. Right? Don’t they??

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

    So, Mills, tell us a little about yourself. How did you come across this blog?

  • gypsy

    age/sex/location/bra-penis size/serial killer you look like/sign (i forget the rest)

  • Packy

    Had to be the ham monuments that drew Mills in. Either that or the merkins.

  • Kat

    I think you got most of them, Gyps. That’s how we found out that Theo was a girl. I had be operating under the assumption she was a boy up until then.

  • gypsy

    only the strong survive kat! hehe…

  • dontpanic23

    Or Howard Fineman’s hair.

  • gypsy

    where did mills go?! hehe…

  • veralynn

    DP! good to see you out and about!Am I being too sensitive or when Tom Costello just mentioned that “it was a female pilot”?Because that really bugs me

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

    Huh, I didn’t even notice vera.

  • dontpanic23

    Thanks, Vera. Great to be back if only on a part-time catch as catch can basis.The female pilot pricked my ears too. I smell blame coming.

  • veralynn

    maybe I am too sensitve, but no way they mention it was a “male pilot”of course, they could just mean it is so rare for a woman to be flying when something like this happens….I will go with that, it makes me feel better :)

  • Mills

    27/M/CA/really?/Eddie Gein/Sagittarius

  • veralynn

    Eddie Gein, really?

  • dontpanic23

    We have 2 Geins! Was it Ashby?

  • Kat

    Very creepy, Mills. And yes, really.Wasn’t Ashby that Russian dude?

  • Mills

    it rubs the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again …

  • Kat

    Open thread for mocking the constant variety of cable news hackery and whatever else whips your caucus.I just noticed this. Is Bob referring to Jane’s Minority Whip?

  • gypsy

    haha. yes. really…i second vera….eddie gein?! really?!

  • Mills

    metric?

  • dontpanic23

    No, JM Ashby–from northern KY. He was around a long time before the election and wandered from the PTT soon after. He pops up on the main every few weeks.

  • Kat

    However you want to give it. I had to pull out a calculator when Axl Rose gave us his.

  • dontpanic23

    Duh. Gotcha. No,that was someone else.Can’t believe I explained who Ashby was–think I’m gonna catch some zzzs.

  • veralynn

    Dammit, why do I have to miss ALL the good stuff?!

  • Kat

    I knew who you were talking about, DP, I just thought Ashby said he looked like some Russian serial killer. I’m blanking on the name. Or maybe that’s somebody else.

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

    No, cubits.

  • gypsy

    i think he is refering to jane whipping gi’s caucus…mills. i’m scared of you now.

  • Mills

    What if I neither wear a bra nor have a penis? Still welcome here?

  • dontpanic23

    I’ve lost it all too, Kat. We need a flow chart or a Secretary of Serial Killers on GDAB. Theo already has a job here and the crud. I nominate Jane.G’night, all.

  • veralynn

    Kat–that blue looks very nice on Rachel, yeah?I saw the HBO movie on that Russian serial killer, it was very good. Of course, I am a Soviet history person, so that could just be me.Not that I could tell you his name, much less pronounce it.

  • Kat

    Totally understandable, DP. I wasn’t very clear with my comment. G’night and it was good to have you around!

  • veralynn

    nite DP

  • dontpanic23

    Thanks, Kat. I’ll try to work myself up to past 9:30 in a few weeks.

  • jane

    Mills, what have you got to offer, if not boobs or a penis? We’re a highly frustrated group.

  • dontpanic23

    G’night, merkin people.

  • Mills

    Why no cubits? Not down with the Lord, or too rough a measurement?

  • Kat

    What if I neither wear a bra nor have a penis? Still welcome here?Pfft….I suppose. As long as you can resist the call of the chump.So this could just mean you’re a really flat-chested girl…..

  • Kat

    And Rachel looks heavenly in the blue, veralynn. She needs to be adding more color to her wardrobe. She needs to add me to her wardrobe too, but that’s another topic altogether…..

  • Mills

    And if I am?

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

    Why no cubits? Not down with the Lord, or too rough a measurement? Not “no cubits.” “No, cubits.” It was your response to “metric?”

  • gypsy

    i love the rachel in a black blazor and jeans. yum…why is it so hard to get penis size out of a guy?! the longer the wait the higher the percentage you subtract from given measurement!

  • Kat

    You may need to take that up with Bob, Mills. He has very high standards about the breast size of the women that post on his blog. We all had to submit pictures before he would allow us to post.*

  • http://www.osborneink.com Matt Osborne

    “Cubit.” Isn’t that a mid-80s video game?

  • Kat

    *total lie

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

    Kat – what do you mean, “lie”? I got the forwards.

  • Mills

    Gotcha, my eyes are tired. I’ll give it to you in cubits. 1.

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

    Mills – LOL! Very good. The ladies will be happy to hear it.

  • Kat

    Now I’m going to have to go find the FB group, because I am definitely a pub-going, loose and forward woman!!

  • Mills

    Spread the word. You’ve heard the tale of the man with a 1 cubit wiener (I think use of the word weiner further narrows me down to being a white guy).

  • Kat

    That information is more terrifying than your resemblance to Eddie Gein. Although we now apparently know your occupation.

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

    White guy? Then I think you’re being disingenous about the cubit.

  • Mills

    Revealing indeed.

  • gypsy

    kat. keekeekee…

  • emsique

    Ted Bundy!!! Most handsome. Also Northwest boy like me!Pot head Michael Phelps—cereal killer?

  • gypsy

    a white guy with a small penis. go figure…although the smallest thingy i have seen was actually attached to a 6’4 220 black guy! the relationship ended quickly…

  • Kat

    You should have sued him for false advertising, Gyps.

  • veralynn

    Matt– as sad as it is that I know this, “Q*bert” was one of my favorite games growing up!”cereal killer”….that is funny

  • gypsy

    emsique, you look like phelps? and you like asian girls? if the new wifey doesn’t work out i have a girl for you!

  • Mills

    So petty gypsy. That guy’s in a tough spot. Stereotype has caused him so much pain and heart-ache.

  • GIthePotato

    This new troll concerns me. It comes into the PTT and acts like a human being. The Neocons have started making modifications to their trolling software. I am on to their game.I just watched “W.” and wasn’t really impressed. Guess what? W. was a moron.I didn’t need a 3 hour movie to show me that W. was an idiot. Plus no one can act as dumb as Bush.

  • GIthePotato

    gypsy, that is why random hook ups require massive amounts of drinking. If I she a misplaced mole on an ass cheek I am out.

  • Mills

    WHo watches Oliver Stone movies anymore?

  • GIthePotato

    Platoon was a great movie! He made that movie with the hopes of removing the romantic hollywood glow from WAR so retarded politicians couldn’t sell the country into WAR.

  • gypsy

    kat. that is funny! and how ironic that i added him as a friend on fb today! hehe…

  • emsique

    I don’t look like Mr. Ph. If anyone is interested I finally got a blog. It’s actually more of a brog, since it’s about me in China.www.emsique.blogspot.com.

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

    GI – what about biblical quote tramp stamps?

  • Mills

    Do you all know each other personally? Did I just sit down at someone’s table instead of at the bar?

  • Kat

    Gyps, I sincerely hope your friend doesn’t visit this blog. Because quite a few of us now know exactly who has a small penis.

  • jane

    Pretty much, Millsy.

  • emsique

    1 cubit=the length of a forearm from elbow to finger tip. Probably Noah’s forearm.

  • veralynn

    lol Kat, yup

  • GIthePotato

    BC, that would be a show stopper unless it was a verse from Leviticus. I like stoning my wife.

  • gypsy

    it was a shock because it WASN’T a random hookup. i had brushed by the package and definitely felt more than a vienna! call me petty but i have….i will stop myself before it is forever in print! my Confession is already google-ble from what jane says!

  • Kat

    The comment left about that photo was fucking hilarious, Carl.

  • GIthePotato

    Kat, can you sense that through the computer? If you think I am hung like a donkey please tell everyone you know. I will bring the booze.

  • gypsy

    haha… i knew you guys would!poor guy…such a waste

  • Mills

    Are you all from NY?

  • Kat

    You know I love you, Joe, but you’ve got two things working against you:1. You are white.2. You are Irish.

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

    Thanks, Kat. ; )

  • Kat

    As an addendum Joe – as Gyps has proven, there are always exceptions.

  • emsique

    Hey, Obama is very Irish from his Mom’s side of the family!

  • Kat

    I’m not from NY.

  • GIthePotato

    I got one for you. I had a girlfriend tell me to give her 12 inches and make it hurt. So I fucked her three times and punched her in the back of the head. Arrgh…Luck of Irish. We are magically delicious.

  • Mills

    Well, I’ve worn out my welcome. Cheers from the troll. Maybe I’ll come back to hassle you all sometime soon.

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

    No, Mills. I think I’m the only New Yorker here.

  • veralynn

    And if I may say Carl, you are a fine representative of NY

  • GIthePotato

    Mills, are you from Kansas?

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

    Thanks, vera. But I must apologize for my initial outburst at Mills in a previous thread. I was a bit harsh. Sorry, dude. Sorry about the small penis too. ;)

  • GIthePotato

    I will take that apology too. You are a gentleman and a scholar Mr. BC.

  • jane

    I loves me some Joe.

  • Mills

    Very enjoyable thread! Thanks for the welcome, harsh, but a welcome nonetheless.Broadway –I’ve gotten over the penis thing.GI –I’m from Sac., CA.Have a good night.

  • emsique

    I want to sing some praises for this site vs Huffpo.1. I can say “FUCK” all I want here. Fuckfuckfucketyfuckfuck!!! This try some fucking goddamn great Jesus H. Christing freedom! I can call John Boner an ass licking dickwad and it can still be posted.2. There are no secret scary code words to get your post blocked like “riot”. I can say that if these assholes in the Senate let everything slide into the shitter because of their stupid rules, procedures, and dipshit politics, people will RIOT. They will take to the streets and riot, burning stuff, breaking stuff and maybe lynching a few bankers in the process.It’s all about freedom of expression, and even though I like Huffpo, it’s hypocritical to disallow profanity in postings while allowing the writers of articles to use any fucking language they want. The fact that you can’t use certain words like “riot”, and the fact that the scary word list is secret is kind of creepy. I would expect this kind of policy out of a Baptist site maybe, but the #1 bleeding heart liberal site???Give me a fucking break! And THANKS A LOT BOB FOR THIS GODDAMN AWESOME FUCKING SITE!!!!

  • jane

    A gracious troll. How are we supposed to act? I’m confused.

  • emsique

    I’m from Southern Oregon, home of the best reefer in the country.

  • gypsy

    girth can make up for length. but i can not stress enough that he couldn’t even get to the starting line really!i’ve had people in and out of my house so i have only picked up about 10 percent of the comments tonight (just looked for the word penis and read those!) but we are very much a family here mills. you mess with one of us you mess with all of us. and at midnight we bay at the moon naked until jane takes us to her basement! ;)

  • Kat

    emsique – FRO FREEDOM!!!

  • veralynn

    Amen emsique

  • Kat

    So Jane, are you wearing purple?

  • emsique

    If he is polite and gracious and only disagrees, is he still a troll, or just someone with a different opinion?

  • jane

    Mentally, Kat, yes. Huzzah!

  • Kat

    My 2 cents – Mills isn’t a troll, he just came out of the gate wrong. Nothing wrong with having a dissenting opinion around the joint, as long as we can all be civil with each other.But Mills, if you are a girl, you’d better hurry up and send those boob pictures to Bob.

  • gypsy

    i know emsique. i really love this blog and if there is a tracking thingy bob knows it! i pop in at all times of the day! most of the time sitting in my vehicle on my laptop pretending to be doing important business things…

  • idreamofskiba

    Woah, what’d I miss tonight? I haven’t read it all yet, but scrolling through I seemed to have seen the word penis a lot.it’srealityshowcliptime!

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

    girth can make up for length. but i can not stress enough that he couldn’t even get to the starting line really!

    Sorry, Gyps, but if the guy is shaped like a tuna can, I don’t know how that can make up for it.

  • jane

    I guess he’s not a troll. He (she?) certainly made an effort.

  • GIthePotato

    *sniff**sniff*Yup, I smell weed. Some good old fashioned Oregon sticky bud. Like mother’s milk.

  • emsique

    It’s 11:20 am on Saturday here and I’m still in my jammies and the day is beautiful. I have this mental image of Jane and my cute wife with minority whips and purple leather. Yow!

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

    emsique – send me a pic of your wife so I can share the mental image.

  • GIthePotato

    TUNA CAN HA!!!

  • gypsy

    haha. carl. i have no response other than “true dat hommie”…

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

    Okay, so where are fe and the boob miner tonight?

  • emsique

    Yep, I won’t be smelling any for a while…I wouldn’t want to try any here anyway. It would be that shitty stuff from Burma and I’d just be worried that the dream police would haul my ass off for reeducation camp.

  • emsique

    Carl, my blog: emsique.blogspot.com

  • fe

    fe is lurking because she is sick and achy and tired, and because she is paying more attention to fashion week.also, if Mills is still lurking, where in Sacto are you in?!?! I’m in Elk Grove, meself.

  • emsique

    fe is hopefully having a nice spazzy teen night.

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

    Very cool – you have a new blog follower.

  • Mills

    I’m in the pocket area.

  • emsique

    My butt hurts from sitting. I need to go walk. Bye! Hi, fe!

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

    Don’t they have cushioned seats in China? Fuck that, I’ll never go there.

  • Mills

    Moving east soon though …

  • fe

    not too far from me. this may be the closest connection I’ve ever made on a blog.

  • Mills

    Real close, I just finished up school and am moving to CO in March.

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

    Where are you planning on moving to, Mills?

  • Mills

    Denver

  • SillyGit

    Greetings from FL.Sup.

  • veralynn

    evening Git

  • fe

    you a facebooker, Mills?

  • emsique

    Cool, Carl. You have a new follower, too! I really gotta go, now. Must resist online compulsion….

  • Mills

    Fe, how long have you been in EG?

  • idreamofskiba

    veryalynn, you were the 213th post on 2/13.

    Goodnight, Carl. We’ll she you later too. ;)

  • fe

    erm…I’ve been in rural elk grove for about seven years. where’d you go to school? I’m trying to calculate the odds of you knowing either of my older siblings or someone I know. Sacto’s small, there’s always a chance.

    Very Cool skiba, thank you! I love Friday the 13th! why do I feel the need to go buy a lottery ticket?

  • emsique

    My seat is padded! But I’ve been sitting here writing and reading for too long! My wife is out of town, so no distractions.

  • fe

    night, carl!gyps: holy shit, seriously? I mean, I don’t think anytime soon, but seriously?

  • Mills

    I am.

  • gypsy

    yeah, just let me know. watch out i am about to name drop…i think patricia field might interest you!

  • Mills

    I’ve only been here for just under three years. I don’t know many people from town. I’m a hermit. Just finished up at UOP, McGeorge School of Law.

    mills: ah, yeah, we probably don’t know the same people. congratulations on your graduation.gyps: holy shit, seriously?

  • fe

    jane, we never talk anymore.

  • Mills

    Thanks. I may have met you if you’ve ever contested a parking ticket.

  • gypsy

    yep. just let me know when you are ready and i will def. help you out…

  • jane

    Hi, UIG!!! How are you baby? And why aren’t you out wasting your youth on a Friday night, instead of talking to us old farts?

  • SillyGit

    Mills -I replied to portions of one of your comments on the 264-183 thread.You made some good points. I don’t agree, but your position is reasonable.I was watching a movie so I was missing for a few hours.

  • gypsy

    mills don’t tell that is your occupation?!

  • fe

    lol, hey, SOIG! I’m always home, you know that.Gypsy: I’m gonna message you on fb barraging you with questions. You’ve been warned.

  • Mills

    Silly –You’re not alone. That is, in disagreeing with me.Gyps –Not anymore, but I was a Hearing Officer as a second job during law school.

  • veralynn

    random thought—is David Caruso only annoying to me?

  • GIthePotato

    My reason for living comes back next Friday.

  • Kat

    No, veralynn. You are not alone. And in other random thoughts, Octopussy freaks me the fuck out.

  • gypsy

    haha. bring it young one…mills. what is the funniest arguement you heard? i bet there was a lot!

  • SillyGit

    Mills -Just saw your law school comment.That certainly explains your debating via written word ability. I’ll bet you did pretty well in law school.My youngest daughter is planning on law school year after next. She’s honing her compare and contrast skills as a Poli Sci major atm.

  • fe

    GI, man, I always thought we were your reason for living.

  • Mills

    There are few people as smug as that man. I can’t take ivy-leaguers on TV seriously.

  • gypsy

    kat, love actually is on. you high off paint fumes or are you waiting until tomorrow?

  • fe

    mills: you and I are, from what I saw, opposite on the political spectrum, but I dislike Bill Maher too. It’s not an Ivy League, thing, though, it’s that he’s a jackass.

  • GIthePotato

    WOW! I didn’t know he was a Cornell man. That is some cool shit. I only listen to people with Ivy League educations. That is why I love Bill OReilly.Where did Hannity and Rush go to school?

  • Kat

    I don’t think I have enough tissues in the house for that movie tonight, Gyps.And I’m totally procrastinating and waiting until tomorrow on the painting. I should have taped off his room this evening. I’m such a slacker.

  • GIthePotato

    It is the PETA that bothers isn’t it “IRON”?

  • fe

    the Ivy League doesn’t make someone a snob, the same way a west coast school doesn’t make someone humble.

  • Mills

    Silly –I was Poli. Sci. in undergrad too. If you want someone to talk her out of law school, have her hit me up.Gyps –The most outrageous contest I had involved a woman trying to prove that a medical condition caused her to park illegaly. She argued that, due to a recent boob job, one of the stitches under her left breast came loose.She showed me about 50 pictures. I felt dirty.

  • veralynn

    I like Bill Maher. I have learned a lot from the people he brings on his show. I saw Andrew Sullivan on there for the first time. Turns out I like Andrew Sullivan too…who knew? But I like that he has people of very differing views and allows them to speak their nonsense, I am thinking of Mr. GOP Steele, now he is a dick.I just hate I can’t afford HBO anymore. GI you will have to fill me in on the show this season, please.

  • fe

    no, GI, I agree with Bill Maher on everything except his support for Israel despite their committing war crimes. I just can’t stand how smug and arrogant he is. I’ll take my commentary from someone self-effacing, like King Jon Stewart The Magnificent or Duke Lewis Black.

  • SillyGit

    veralynn, AdyLeigh, Kat, and Chris made some excellent comments today on various threads making it completely unnecessary for me to comment. Keep up the good work.QT and Matthew impressed me on the State Secrets thread.It’s been a good week.

  • veralynn

    you know I flew to Vegas just to see me some Lewis Black! LOVE him!!! He was fantastic!

  • Kat

    Interestingly enough, it seems both Hannity and Limbaugh are college drop-outs. (according to Wikipedia)I have so many snarky things I could say, but I think I’ll just leave that out there.

  • GIthePotato

    Vera, consider it done. On Fridays, I will have my aluminum hat on and plugged into the TV Machine while eating a two pound steak.

  • veralynn

    thanks Potato :)

  • GIthePotato

    >>no, GI, I agree with Bill Maher on everything except his support for Israel despite their committing war crimes. I just can’t stand how smug and arrogant he is. I’ll take my commentary from someone self-effacing, like King Jon Stewart The Magnificent or Duke Lewis Black.IRON, you need to watch Religulous. He doesn’t support Israel. He is a jew and does care about his own people but not the country of Israel.

  • veralynn

    Git said–making it completely unnecessary for me to commentI disagree, I always enjoy your comments Gitand it has been a fun week around here, FRO FREEDOM!!damn I love that

  • fe

    GI: I’ve read in a few different places that he supports Israel unconditionally. I’ll examine further! Yay, more homework.Gyps, by the way, I’ve barraged you with questions.

  • GIthePotato

    Kitty, I researched both of those asshats last year and laughed for days about the fact they were both drop outs. It makes a beautiful argument against right wingnut bullshit. Especially when Rush or Hannity are quoted as serious.

  • lur

    Bill Maher is “friends” with Ann Coulter.He’s a misogynist to boot. (I guess those 2 facts aren’t even mutually exclusive to those who question Ann’s gender.)That said, he still makes some good points. It’s just hard for me to stomach him enough to get around to hearing them.

  • fe

    GI: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-maher/i-love-being-on-the-side-_b_25375.htmlBill Maher discusses his strong support for Israel. Despite their war crimes. Understand, I’m certainly not saying Israel isn’t right to defend itself, or that the Palestinians are in the right. I’m saying that there’s a lot more Palestinians dying than Israelis, and 95% of those are civilians, and that’s not fucking okay. Non combatant women and children should be left out.

  • Kat

    I’m out, kids. Y’all have a good night!

  • Mills

    Silly –Why did you call me Chris in the other thread??

  • GIthePotato

    IRON, he likes the way Israel handles Jihadism. I am kind of with him on the support of Israel doing whatever the hell they want WITHOUT THE SUPPORT of the United States. Israelis know how to fight this kind of war.

  • veralynn

    nite Kat

  • fe

    well, no they don’t, because most of the people dying are civilians. And if you’re a fifteen year old kid, and your father’s dead because an Israeli bomb dropped on him, don’t you think you’d be pissed? Violence begets violence, as I’m sure you learned in your time in Iraq.Israel has one of the most well-trained sniper units in the world; why don’t they assassinate the Hamas leaders instead of dropping bombs on neighborhoods?

    Darn. I’m SO late. I have an excuse. 3 actually (Sarah Connor, Dollhouse, Battlestar Galactica!). But anyway, caught this upstream and had to defend joe:

    You know I love you, Joe, but you’ve got two things working against you:1. You are white.2. You are Irish.Posted by: Kat at February 13, 2009 9:46 PM

    Joe is not white. He’s my son. DOn’t know about the Irish part though.QT

  • GIthePotato

    IRON, yes civilian casualties were really high in Israel and they could have done more to minimize that. However, it is the total war concept that i was talking about. If you shot your rockets into Israel they will send in ground troops and bomb the shit out of your country so it can’t happen again. Try to be realistic about war. In current URBAN combat the enemy uses civilians as human shields. Mosques and schools are also great hiding places. If we could go back to open battlefields with uniforms than I would except to see less civilian casualties

  • SillyGit

    Why did you call me Chris in the other thread??

    The chris part was for ceu. I screwed up by not putting Mills – before your quote.I guess you’ve noticed that we often reply to more than one thing in each comment.I’m used to irc where one does not write paragraphs at a time, and instead posts one sentence at a time.

  • GIthePotato

    It is the only part of he that isn’t Irish. Don’t tell Jane.

  • http://www.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    ^^Hmm. Don’t think I’m going to ask how THAT happened, Joe…QT

  • fe

    aw, hell, I missed Dollhouse?!

  • gypsy

    i watched dollhouse! as much as i could…it was good. made me get pissed they canceled tru calling all over again! hehe…

  • fe

    Once again, why doesn’t Israel send a sniper to kill the Hamas leader in a mosque? Or, if they don’t know what he looks like, all the older men in the mosque and leave the kids out of it?Either way, I do not wish to discuss Israel anymore.So, QT, was dollhouse any good?

  • jane

    Dollhouse probably IS good, but I gave up on it early. It’s too sexed up for my tastes. Not that I blame Joss Wheden for that – Fox has a way of killing shows that aren’t largely mindless – so to get off a relatively complex adventure series, the sex level had to be pumped way up. I find it gratuitous (that may be something of an advertisement for some… !)Anyway, I miss Firefly.QT

    Hello Mills! I think that you made some excellent points in the other thread. Have you heard of Bill Hicks? I just adore him. He had a riff about one political party candidate being on one hand & the other being on the other hand– but both puppets being operated by the same puppet master. I like you & hope you come back.Hey, Gyps, my Internet Girlfriend!!! I did not know you were in fashion!! How cool! Maybe your influence can get me to stop dressing like a younger version of my mom. Arrrgh!!!!

  • Teh Minx

    Cool Blog, Emsique! Your picture didn’t look how I imagined you, though. I didn’t expect a brawny, blond guy–was thinking more of a Chinese-American, poetry-writing, dark-haired, skinny kind of guy. It’s so silly– people never look the way that you imagine them to look when you meet on the innertubes…

  • SillyGit

    Hey Minxy!I agree about Mills. He made his case pretty well. I hope I gave him food for thought since I doubt I changed his mind any.I can agree to disagree.M-seek -Why in the fuck would you ruin them by cooking them. Oysters and women are best enjoyed the same way – au natural.I thought if the ons and offs were balanced, it wouldn’t bother you.

  • Teh Minx

    Hello Silly Git! Have you heard of Bill Hicks? As you may have guessed, I’m a huge fan. He transitioned way too soon (as we New Agers would say…). Wonder what he would have to say about the goings on today?Do you really think that nationalized healthcare would help us, Git? I KNOW that I wouldn’t be able to get insured without Medicare…

  • emsique

    I agree on oysters, Git. We were at a Thai BBQ place. I’m not very trusting about tropical oysters raw. I ate some in Thailand last year and I think that’s what gave me a case of pu hao tummy. I loves me some Oregon or Washington oysters sucked raw off the shell with a good IPA.

  • SillyGit

    Minx -I hope you stop back here.Yes, I love Bill Hicks. He would be having a field day if he were still with us. He is one of many I miss.For too many reasons to list here, I don’t think we have any choice but to go to a single payer national health service. The profit angle is killing health care in this country.The single most important reason that we need this is the one I will describe here and now.The U.S. workforce is now part of a global marketplace. U.S. workers can never be competitive with health care costs as part of the labor cost. We are the only country with the full cost of heath care added to the cost of employing someone, most of our trading partners have nationalized health care and those that don’t have significantly lower health care costs.*This* is the single biggest reason our jobs are being shipped elsewhere.Until we solve this problem, it’s just too expensive for corporations to employ americans. This *has* to be fixed.

  • emsique

    Hey I’m still here. Downloading my first ebook since I read my last book, and there is nothing available here since only about 100 white folks live here.MMMMMMM Bridgeport. One of my faves! I hail from Oregon where I was born. Go Ducks! Until this year, I lived in Ashland. Great local IPA there, too. No IPA here! Decent Chinese beer, though a little watery. Still tasty though. Tsing Tao and Pearl River.

  • SillyGit

    Yeah, Tsing Tao is a rather tasty German Pils and the Chinese have very faithfully maintained the quality.I guess you know that Tsing Tao is the result of European Imperialism. Germans set up that brewery since it was in *their* piece of China. Fortunately the Chinese liked the beer and were running the brewery anyway, so when the Germans were sent home they kept the brewery operating.It’s a shame that the Chinese don’t brew ales. I bet they’d be good at it.

  • Teh Minx

    Yikes, Maggie! I hope that you see this & get more hours. Do you think that the “turn-around” mags & books are from that lady in the article?
