Saturday Night Thread

First F1 race of the season tonight!

Whoa dudes or dudets….maybe I’ve not met ya’ll, Mescalero or Wacko, but welcome to the PTT!What’s up with the 8:30 lights out bit????

God, I love this, total blog domination tonight! I’m on beer #2 and just finished an email to my lawyer about some tax shit.TMI…for you, well, get used to it! Until the regs show up I’m going for it.

That’s 4 in a row, whose going to bust me out of here? Who’s your daddy?Where’s Redmond when you need ‘im?

I’m just posting a comment so bj’s not talking to himself.

bjritz -I’m going to go watch a movie in the dark, I’ll be back afterwards.Since I’m living in burning tire redneck land, I’ll have to keep an eye out for out of control brush fires.bbl

Sweet, there is a GDAMPTT! Yeah!Yes I’m wacko too tonight!@ Redmond, love ya bro and so does Kat, Oops spilled der beans.@ El and Git, thanks for the support.Burning tires are a problem, but then so are burning neocons, burning Palinistas, burning Foxarati, etc….

Hey, TS, Great to see ya! You’re definitely a troll of a different color. Must get to firefox so the spell checker will work. Why don’t you link to mu blog?

Truthy,Someone IS reading your posts… most of the people who follow the GDAB do. How they react depends on the stupidity of the post in question.GWB wasn’t tapping your phone…but believe it or not, your phone company was very likely (at the least) collecting your calling data for the Dept. of Homeland Security.Now – as to Keith Olbermann using your blog for material? Not so much. I think you’re safe on that one.

Ok, I’ll check in later, wife wants to watch Nora Roberts movie…what we do for love.Geez Bob I love teh “POSITION FLEXIBLE! Your comment submission failed”Sweet! I goofed and got a Palin smackdown!

QT,So true, and close to me as well.I was not quite ready to dive yesterday, but, now three beers down (I know you don’t imbibe, no dis intended) I could go a round on it now or wall to wall on FB.beej

It counts other redmond. But if you’re using the nuttop you can effect your s-count. Push that bad boy (laptop) out to your knees.

hey redmond, let me know if Quantum of Solace is any good.I hope it counts, Joe. I’m not sure I’ll be able to turn my lights out – I’d be a nervous teenager home alone in the dark.

Fe, WTF is your family shotgun(AK47)?

Well, GItheShotgun, the older ya git, the AK goes to a derringer.

Well get one before the wingnuts are the only ones with guns. Jesus, being a doormat for tanks is not a prerequisites to be a liberal.

I see lights going out all over the east coast. We midwesterners have another hour before turning down the lights.

hey guys! i haven’t left my house today…HIGH FIVE!i love ritzy when he’s on the sauce! hehe…on the lights out thing. i have unplugged everything in my home. republicans suck my one hour no energy consuming ass! i popped a couple mini marshmallows and am letting my heart guide me in the dark through the intertubs. (which means i will be into porn in 10 minutes) just want to say that all day i (bored out of my mind) have been searching blogs trying to find something like the gdab! i couldn’t find ONE! not a nary(?!) nil zip zilch ONE! bob is special! what he does is special! the way he thinks, acts, sincerely cares, writes IS special. the way he wittingly cuts to the core of issues, policy, the crazy, etc in a “this is what the hell is going on guys” way can not be duplicated! (well, it’s him and taibbi! hehe) i found the gdab in nov. 08 and there hasn’t been a day that i can recall that i haven’t checked in on it! and the people here are the cherries on top! smart funny forward thinking people who swear like sailors (most of us) but would give you the shirt off their back. cliche! i know! but it’s the truth! i am so glad i found the bob, this blog, and our little community! love you guys!ok that is my sap!BOOBIES!!!!!!

Don’t worry, Fe, the Earth hour is an awareness event and I know that you are very aware of global warming. You don’t need to sacrifice your peace of mind to help Gaia.

I KNOW JANE! WTF is that about?! why don’t these litle letters light up?!

ladies, you could use a well-placed flashlight.

Hey bitches!If you take the battery out of you vibrators for a minute you can plug it into your nuttop and the keypad will light up.

gi, i would if i wasn’t using my vibrator as well! ohhhh bam! bang! boom! i’ll walk myself out!

God I lurv when the ladies go all flashlight and shit!

Did I really say it was a *bad* omen?

Candle light makes everything look better. I have used it a number of times when I was hunting for the mythological female orgasm.

Jane,Glad you’re home. Mr. Sodium Pentothal (aka TruthSerum) and I will be over shortly so I can pick up the key to the torture chamber. I’ll be needing the minority whip as well.

i love the flicking of candlelight! mmmmm….the sex! i feel like my nasty talk is coming! and it’s all “one hour lights out” fault!

CC, I will prep the Enhanced Pleasure room for you, and break out the “special” toys.

Use the majority whip on him also, CC.

i’m going to feel either “let down” at 9:30 or like a “dirty whore”! hehe…

It’s not dead, Joe. What kind of gun are you using? You’ve gotta use the proper weaponry.

CC– You & Truth Serum? What the hell happened while I was gone?!? Outside of major sun burn(I’m sure y’all are tired of hearing about that!) & Git checking out my boobies…

We don’t seem to get many trolls that are not just drive-bys. Troll and run. No fun.We get a lot of wrong wingers that just don’t seem to realize that they lost the election. They want us to return to the policies that launched us off a cliff.At least TruthSerum has fortitude and tenacity (if not much else).

Okay, a serious question to my friends on the left side of the fence. What is the liberal stance on Obama’s plan to increase more troops in Afghanistan and possibly extend military operations into Pakistan?Won’t this suck us further into a true quagmire of greater magnitude than Vietnam? The Vietnamese were fighting for political reasons and their war ended when North and South Vietnam became one country. The jihad has no borders and no end game.

Kat and I were chattin’ that up today on the FB.We need to have a we don’t beat up on trolls day on the blog as long as they will be intellectually honest, otherwise fuck ‘em.

It helps not to have nursed babies, Gypsy-Boo, and to have a great bra! My mom always complained if her bras cost more than $3.00 (she’s 68, so this is a while back). I have always believed that a bra should feel great & make you feel like a complete lovely slut. Support yer girls! The investment is worth it!

truth, if you act like an adult I will tell you.

Wow! Thanks, Git! *blushes & smiles & giggles*For you, Gypsy-Boo! *Takes off shirt & gives it to Gyps*

tell me about it, minx. I have d’s and I’ve never had a good bra – it sucks. Plus, I wanna feel pretty!

Fuck it, I’m keeping my lights out. Moar beer!

Jane, you are not being a good hippie. How are you going to change the world if you can’t go an hour without TV?

5 minutes to Earth Hour in the Midwest! *turns off lights, trips & falls on boobs*

I want my uterus knocked out!!

minxy- WOWZA!!! DING DING DING!!! MOMMA!!! as i was surfing the political blogs today i came across a comment stating that instead of starting a war with iraq, etc. we should have just slammed them with “america”! hehe… jeans, t-shirts, tube tops, tennis shoes, ford mustangs, fast food, the movie waterboy, country music and the list went on! it was funny as shit and i think it would have been more damaging to them and cost us less money!

Turned my lights out for an hour.Great! I balanced the carbon foot print of operating Al Gore’s private jet for all of 1/198,000th of a minute.When do we cap the salaries of move moguls and athletes? Lets shut down major league baseball for a season to save energy (and boost our stock of growth hormone and testosterone).And what should I do about the rash in my bathing suit area? It itches! Yow!

TSWe found common ground. I agree with you on this.

Fe, Please go by yourself or with Mom & get fitted to make sure your bra is right for you. Go to a department store with a decent lingerie dept. & find one of the really old ladies. Ask her for a fitting. Get what she recommends. It’s worth it, sweetie. There are beautiful bras in all sizes!

just turned my lights on and found all my animals in their beds like it was “nite nite”! cutest little things ever!

I agree with you, too, TS. Major league sports has become too idolized in this country & those men (not women, ever!) are being paid way too damn much for very little return. I prefer high school sports, much more heart and real competition.

thanks, minxy, you’re a sweetie.I think Clive Owen was at his hottest in Children of Men.

Truth,As someone that will probably go to Assholistan, I have a conflict of values/interest with this idea.One, I served in a bullshit war of choice and would like to serve in the “Good War”(look it up).Two, the Russians tired to beat the Afghans and it didn’t work for them. Plus, they tried a total war(look that up too).So, I would like to kill/stop the assholes from planning more terrorist attacks(even though I don’t believe they had anything to do with the first one but they are brown people and must be stopped).Third, if my President asks me to go, I WILL. I really like his diplomatic approach and some government cooperation.

ATTN Ladies: I AM HALF IRISH!

I could be wrong, but I think the Russians had the Afghans beat until the US started giving the mujahideen rocket launchers.

gi, colin farrell irish or conan o’brien irish?! big difference! HUGE difference!

fe, go look at my photos on the face. i can have anywhere from 1 to 5 animals with me at any given time!

mmmmmm to both, gyps.

thanks jane!

ATTN LADIES! the bob just stated he is half-italian! HALF-ITALIAN LADIES!!!!!!The important follow-up question here, Gyps, is: which half?

Also, Bob, and Joe: What’s the other half?

hilarious page or most hilarious page ever?

btw, the reason the last panel is empty is because the artist said he’d stop writing on Obama’s inauguration day.if you have some time to kill and you want to giggle more than you knew you could, go back to the first page and go through the archive. hilarious.

I especially like the time travel pharmacy fe, thanks

fe–There’s always the clearance rack! One of my dearest friends is Jewish, so I picked up some of her expressions. You can’t underestimate the power of a good “Oy Vey”.

lol, minx. I think I should hit up Nordstrom Rack.you know what word should be yiddish but isn’t? spatula.(I figure if I start quoting west wing, Elvis will pop up.)

*Minx now trips over Zoe the cat & lands on her generous tuchis (Minx’s, not Zoe’s)*. Only 7 minutes to go on Central Time.

i heart the minxy fo life! muah!

Troll wrote:>>>I balanced the carbon foot print of operating Al Gore’s private jet for all of 1/198,000th of a minute.Al Gore purchases carbon offsets which cancel out any carbon footprint he creates. Sorry!

awe, minx, I love you too. I’m constantly flummoxed by your kindness and optimism.

@Teh Bob Cesca— Bwahahahaha!!!!Off to read about the Amish custom of Rumspringa. This starts generally at 14 or so and is literally a time of “running around” for teens before they decide if they want to be baptized in the Amish faith. There is much smoking, drinking, dancing & sexing in the back of farmlands. I was quite surprised to find out how much drinking & drugging was going on during this time.May stop by later…Minx

Bob came on the PTT? Damn. I should have kept my big mouth shut on the half-Italian thing.

Wow. The fallout cloud from the AKM outing is even larger than I expected and it’s still growing. Even conservative blogs think that Doogan is an asshat.It appears that Doogan violated at least two AK ethics laws for elected officials. So far AK does not have a good record of enforcing these laws however.

ritzy that is EXACTLY how i see him! except i see the tele with constant news, blog computer, search various sites computer, and a bike up against the wall! hehe…

Yeah,Yeah, Gore purchasing carbon offsets makes me laugh…. So, as long as you purchase carbon offsets you can use as much energy as you want…sounds like elitism to me Bob… Gore is a hypocritical joke…. so is his mansion… oh, yeah, that’s right he has “greened” it up I have heard…. yep, you got the money honey, I got the time…. er, uh, or is that carbon offsets?……

Git – Daily Kos has a good piece on it.

y’know, I’ve never taken a sixth grade english course, but that read like gibberish to me.

I love how the people that worship the GOP which is run by snub elitists that send there children to schools like Andover and Choate and then on to Yale or Harvard refer to Dole as an Elitist.It would be comical if it weren’t pathetic.

OOOOHHHHH. That’s a different DailyKos article. So now I have two to read at Kos. Thanks again Chris.So far the best single article is Dawn Teo’s at HuffPo.

Hey Git, Just a quick stop-by to tell you that I loved coffee-talk with you even though we were interrupted by that strange guy (claimed he was an anthropology teacher–didn’t seem to be all there, so to speak) multiple times. Our visit was one of the best parts of the trip. I hope to do it again when I’m down South. You amaze me with your intelligence & sense of humor– I haven’t laughed that hard in quite a while.Best hugs from Teh Minx

The next best thing to read about the AKM situation (after the Teo article at HuffPo) is the open letter to Doogan at DailyKos that ceu linked to above.

Ady, I just did a quick MS Paint drawing and saved it as a jpg and imported it. But, your current pic is so cute. But draw away.@Minx & Git, what is a coffee talk interuptus anyway?

This is the fucking future. I have an associates of applied science(Ford Automotive) and have worked with cars my entire adult life. This video has given me a the biggest permaCHUB ever. Please watch the whole thing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAYrsEOxqYcIt is fitting for Earth Hour. SFW

Hello AdyLeigh! I missed you while I was in Florida!G’Night– As always, anyone who wishes to join me under the Slanket (after a rigorous screening process) for shallow conversation & serious cuddling is welcome…

I liked your version better Teh Minx.I almost lost it when he said that caffein makes people violent. He didn’t really strike me as bipolar, but I do believe that he needs to be medicated for some mental disorder.

GItheElectricCarJoe, that was awesome, freakin’ awesome. I so want the electric car. There is a couple of companies that have electric motors that replace the motor in a VW bug. Google that.Have you looked at Neil Diamond’s LinkVolt project?

BJ, I wanted to build one. But I am going to wait for a cheaper Tesla. It will come. GM can suck my balls with their Volt. It is a fucking HUGE family car made for fat americans and senior citizens. The Tesla is the bomb.

The Tesla is hot no doubt.

Also – miserably jealous over the florida get together…when are we planning a GDAB convention?QT

QT -Tesla will be building a family car. The first machine that they are building is a proof of technology sports car. They want to show that electric performance cars can be built in order to squash the long standing objection to electric cars. Previous electric cars had pathetic performance characteristics at best. Tesla has the technology to produce some very usable electric automobiles. We have to protect them from getting killed by the oil robber barons. If Tesla succeeds there will be many others to follow. Competition enables rapid development. Our tech industries have stagnated for too long while the greed brigade was in profit taking mode.
