    BLUE

  • idreamofskiba

    That sounds pretty dangerous, bjritz.

  • AZDem

    WTF. Did anyone catch the story that the folks at the US Agency for International Development will be be switching from US made condoms for distribution in poor countries around the world, to Chinese made condoms, because they’re cheaper. This will cost 300 American jobs in Alabama. This isn’t right.http://primebuzz.kcstar.com/?q=node/17764

  • Packy

    So… people in Alabama are fucked in more ways than one.

  • Curly Lasagna

    Well, the Chinese condoms might work even better because, like so many of their fine products, they’re made out of lead……….

  • Packy

    Hey Bob?WTF is this “reviewing your shit the first time you post” thing?This ain’t the first time I’ve posted!

  • dontpanic23

    It’s because you left the country, Packy. You get some kind of shakedown upon reentry.Where is the fucking Awesome blue? I get a row way down there across the bottom (tiny line) and see blue when I refresh. Am I expecting too much of the blue sightings?

  • AZDem

    Packy-lol. I guess the least they could do is supply the KY.

  • ceu

    neuterized? Did we need a new word for neutered?

  • GItheJOE

    Gives a whole new meaning to, “Put a little lead in your Pencil”.Now, if they were made out of depleted uranium that would just be KILLER.

  • Curly Lasagna

    If you didn’t have a burning sensation BEFORE using their condoms, you’d certainly have one afterward….

  • bjritz

    Skiba, thanks for the concern, but I walk to and from my job.I finally saw the blue at work today, bigger monitor helped.

    Bob, and other velo-philes, you might have seen this already, but this just off the wire(less):http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/03/25/cycling.armstrong/index.html

    Glow in the dark condoms no longer needed once you wear these little doodads.

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    Wow, I see Andrew Breitbart stopped by today then obviously fed Bob’s site to a bunch of spammers. I can’t win with logic, so SPAM!

  • Kat

    I am curious, who is doing the sizing for the condoms? The Chinese or the Americans?

  • Kat

    Redmond! Long time, brother.Note to PTT: It’s no longer boobs that call the brother. It’s condoms.

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    Whoa whoa whoa.What’s a condom?

  • Teh Minx

    Hello Cescans! Yes, I’m back from my Sun ‘N’ Fun Sojourn with Mom (and, 8 days of youngest Seester) in gorgeous Florida! I freaking hate Wiscaansin, esp. during the Endless Winter ™–I HAVE to learn how to do the little tm! I had a lovely time, stimulated the economy, burned myself thru 3 layers of skin & had coffee with Git! I packed a lot ‘o living in 3 weeks! Am completely surprised that Git may have thought I was a boy, we talked twice & I don’t think that I sound boyish on the phone! Am glad he liked my breasts though. I missed you all massively– no lovely wi-fi at Mom’s & can’t sit in her crappy computer chair for more than 2 minutes!I Especially missed my SnuggyBoo–Gypsy!Wet Kisses to all who wants them–Minxy

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    Redmond went to Catholic school.

  • veralynn

    welcome home minx…you were missedon another note….I think I broke FB. It is popping up chat boxes by itself, wtf?

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

    Nice post, Redmond. Hope Shaun doesn’t blow a gasket, with you being so snarky and all.

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

    Welcome back, Minx! *motorboat*

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    Unfortunately, Kyle, I hale from evangelical roots. Wish I was Catholic though. 45 minute mass as opposed to 90 to 120 minutes of bloviating, speaking of tongues and people trying to push other people on the floor. I mean, “slain in the spirit,” my bad.As for this condom business, I vaguely recall someone telling me about them. I think it was the part where they said “It goes over the penis before entering the vagina” that I suckerpunched them and fled for my life. NO thank you.That said, is it itchy in here? Anyone?

  • dontpanic23

    Hi, Minx. Welcome back. Pass some sunshine around please.Vera, I was chatting with Jane one day recently and we had that happen to us simultaneously. Someone different in each of our mutual friends’ list popped up a chatbox but no one was home. It disrupted the actual chatbox for a few. Velly stlange.

  • dontpanic23

    Did Keith just tell me to wear my undies for a week?

  • Kat

    Welcome back, Minx!Redmond, I haven’t heard that particular excuse before. I’ve heard all the rest though. “Raincoat in the shower,” my ass! I see your raincoat and raise you 10 hours of labor.

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

    Speaking of “stlange,” don’t forget Elvis Dingeldein’s Drunken Soliloquy in 30 minutes.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™
  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    Jumped the gun, Carlos. It’s tomorrow. But isn’t Bob and Lee’s show normally on Wednesday?

  • dontpanic23

    Yow, thank you Carlos. I thought that was tomorrow and Lee and Bob were tonight. I need a social secretary and I’m glad you stepped up for the job.So…when are Bob and Lee? I need to write this on the calendar like Mondays (“Trash”).

  • Kat

    Um, Carl? Elvis’ show is tomorrow night. So you’ll need to come back then and plug it again in order to get your case of beer.

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

    Wow… I’m gonna be waiting a long fucking time. Yes, Bob and Lee are on tonight. I got my BlogTalkRadio shows confused.

  • dontpanic23

    HA, bedlam.

  • dontpanic23

    Speaking of Bedlam, Bob has a new piece on Huffpost tonight. Expect a tsunami of trolls.

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

    Agree To Disagree with Lee.That’s better.

  • dontpanic23

    Thank you, Mr. Broadway. filling in calendar

  • Kat

    BTW, nice post Redmond on Nads of Thor tonight. You and the Packster are on a letter-writing roll.

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

    So, is there a show tonight? The Stranahan webpage doesn’t look like it’s listed on the calendar. Just the On Demand episodes are shown. No countdown clock either.

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    Thanks, Kat and Carlos!What did Packster write? Shoot me a link.

  • Kat

    Next thread over, Redmond. Under the “Obama Budget” thread.

  • veralynn

    thanks DP…sometimes that thing makes me question my sanity or lack thereof

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    Nice job, Packy!On both the letter and man-handling the Wizard of Oz mental patient.

  • dontpanic23

    Packy shut the patient right up. Amazing.

  • Kat

    LOST is better than sex.Well, at least one-night stand sex.

  • gypsy

    welcome back my big boobied baby boo! ;)

  • jane

    Hey Deep, that weird chat popup thing just happened again. This time it was Skiba kept popping up (and being offline at the same time).Fucking gremlins.

  • veralynn

    for all of us who are getting chat rooms…here is where FB sent meand jane? I am 2 beers up on ya…chug it!

  • veralynn

    ok and I should really put the link in and I will not try to do the thingy again lolhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript

  • veralynn

    seeing as how I don’t understand anything in that article, except that it is in English, I shall get another beer

  • jane

    so…radio show? whassup?

  • idreamofskiba

    What did I do?

  • dontpanic23

    Hi, Ms. Jane. I think we broke the Book.

  • idreamofskiba

    im in ur facebuk, poppin up n chatz

  • jane

    Happened again with Axl Rose this time. I gave up.

  • dontpanic23

    And the radio show is last week’s. I was trying to listen, read Bob’s new post on the Po, check here, read Redmond’s great letter to You-Know-Who-Also, read Packy’s letter and responses–shit, I’m exhausted.

  • jane

    lolskib

  • veralynn

    pace yourself DP, it is only wednesday

  • idreamofskiba

    That’s how I feel, DP. I’ve been having trouble keeping up with everything lately.

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    So, seriously, who broke Facebook? I’m about to start having the DT’s over here.

  • idreamofskiba

    FB is not letting me “like” things, either.

  • dontpanic23

    Jane or Skiba broke it. I think it was mostly Skiba because she was talking in LOLcats.

  • gypsy

    i love the blue! i have like 5 inches of it to the right!jane’s “that’s what she/he said” in 5, 4, 3, 2…..;)

  • dontpanic23

    Strange, it let me “like” Chris’ link and post a reply. I don’t have up a chat window. Poll! If you are having trouble with the gremlins are you also chatting?

  • idreamofskiba

    DP, shhhh…

  • dontpanic23

    tossing computer across room I Still Do Not See The Blue.

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    Jane or Skiba, huh? Sounds plausible.But let’s stop covering for the true culprit: Obama’s Teleprompter. When will its reign of terror end?!

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Im surprised no one has brought up the fact that Cantor was at a Britney spears concert instead of watching Obama’s press conference…I can’t come up with anything that isn’t obscenely offensive to say about Cantor so ill just laugh about it to myself.

  • idreamofskiba

    It wont let me “like” Bob’s status.Total emergency!

  • jane

    eff the eff bee. New chat popup is Bruno. It’s like fucking Russian roulette.

  • dontpanic23

    zipping

  • gypsy

    guys you remember last time this weirdness went on with facebook we were booty-poked with the homepage from hell!

  • idreamofskiba

    Why does Obama’s Teleprompter hate the Facebook?

  • TruthSerum

    What about the North Korean missile launch? Is O-Blame-A going to blame Bush when the NK’s drop a scud in Seoul?BTW when is the calendar date where Bush can no longer be blamed for the antics of Moe-Bama, Curly-Geithner, and Larr-illary?

  • dontpanic23

    closing the eff bee quicklyChrist, why am I talking in italics.

  • jane

    ASHBY!!!!!!!!!! we miss you.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Pretty poor attempt at Fear-mongering, TruthSerum. Atleast come up with a scenario that is actually plausible next time.Hi Jane

  • idreamofskiba

    That was pretty stupid, TruthSerum.

  • jane

    agreed, stupid, spermy

  • jane

    >>when is the calendar date where Bush can no longer be blamed (?)Shortly after you stop blaming Clinton for Bush Jr.’s failures. Howzat?

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    I

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    Why does Bob’s site hate the heart symbol I made for Jane?

  • dontpanic23

    Hi, Ashby. Great to see you back in the PTT.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    It doesn’t hate the heart symbol Redmond, it just hates you.

  • dontpanic23

    Is there a fly in the room?

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    I knew it!

  • idreamofskiba

    Then it must hate me too. It ate my hearts before as well.

  • gypsy

    truthy, when the aliens attack on march 8th 2013 i’m positive we’ll be able to trace it back to bush! his level of fuckup’edness is not to be undermined!

  • dontpanic23

    Bob does not heart hearts?The fly is either gone or preparing a long stupid post.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Hi DP, sorry I haven’t been more participant lately. I’ve been pretty busy with finishing work on a graphic novel and studying new painting techniques. Plus right now im recovering from a hangover even though I slept 14 hours.

  • idreamofskiba

    Maybe he’s double checking his spelling this time, DP.

  • dontpanic23

    You’ve been busy. I feel…static. Hate the hangover for you.

  • dontpanic23

    Skiba, I seriously doubt it.

  • http://nadsofthor.wordpress.com Redmond

    Ashby, what graphic novel are you working on?Huge comic geek and I don’t care who knows it.

  • GItheJOE

    Truth, are you threatening me? If so, I welcome death threats from impotent war cheerleading fundamentalists.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Its a European graphic novel named Wolalina. I can’t really say much else. We got a publisher for it a couple weeks ago but the official marketing wont start for a while. Until then I can’t even post prints of the Pinup pages for sale.

  • GItheJOE

    Did I kill it? I can’t call in tonight. I need a fucking break from reality.*goes off to church*

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    IBM is laying off 5000 U.S. employees. They will hire 5000 replacements in India.Maybe we should give them another tax cut so they can make it 10000 and 10000. The wrong wingers keep telling us that Corporate tax cuts create more jobs. There are still many in India that don’t work for U.S. companies.

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

    SHOW STARTS AT 10! New post has the link.

  • gypsy

    brother this one’s for you! really all the peni’ed cescans!our cescan men

  • dontpanic23

    Crap, I’m headed for bed.Huzzah!, to quote Rachel quoting Elvis.

  • dontpanic23

    Will do podcast in the morning. Great stuff, Gypsy. Glad I held out.

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    I’ve never understood the “wrong winger” -thanks git, theory that if you give a corporation a tax cut that it somehow filters down to the workers. Can anyone show an example of it really working that way? All i’ve ever seen is corporations using cuts to increase their bottom line or outsource more. I’ve never heard a story of a tax cut leading to a pay increase of normal employees.

  • ceu

    It was me – I broke it by installing IE 8. I realized the error of my ways & switched back to Google Chrome, but it was too late.On the bright side, I’m not getting random chat boxes so y’all lucked out in that regard!

  • jane

    night deepster xoxoxo

  • http://tarackian.deviantart.com J M Ashby

    Goodnight DP

  • jane

    radio thread! run away!

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    I can haz tasty trollz?

  • fe

    Hey, PTTers! I keep coming in late.Huge comic book geek, too, Redmond, so don’t worry.

  • GItheJOE

    fe, your 17 and allowed to play with action figures. Death Star Red needs to put the Skywalker lightsaber back into storage.

  • jane

    FE: you’ve been drafted to call in tonight.

  • fe

    nope, too shy. plus I can’t listen to the radio show, it makes my computer melt.

  • ceu

    fe, can you listen thru iTunes? my computer stopped melting – and buffering every 20 secs – doing it that way.

  • GItheJOE

    fe, come over to the discussion. I am not listening either. Just making dick/ball comments about everything.

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    I can’t listen to the streaming version of the radio show either.I wait until the download is available. It is an mp3 and I can play that fine.The stream player just doesn’t work and often it not only doesn’t work, It crashes my browser. I assume that is flashplayer’s fault. Flashplayer is an evil piece of proprietary garbage that should be shot into the sun and put out of its misery.
