bloggie

LOL at the title already!

Whee!

Great font choice.

I just got to where solus walked into the pub. Oh man...LMAO! This is good.

I am ROFLMAO!!! I'm up to part II.

ROFL at Levi's needlepoint!

I love the character choice for NYN. zorkie, you are brilliant!

Jourdan: [Invis-O-Text™: ON]
"I'm going to Mordor to avenge the banning of a colleague of mine, or get banned trying."
[Invis-O-Text™: OFF]
My face hurts! ROFLMAO!!

zorkie, I'm crying here.
Thank you so much for posting this now, when I'm only waking up my household with my howls of laughter, and not when I'd be at work and they'd think I was crazy (er.. crazier).

I am dying. This is so funny it's killing me to death.

OMG - just the title's got me in giggles! Thank you, zorkie! Thank you!

Oh lord! I can't stop laughing! I'm laughing harder at this than the original banning party!

And Fay continued dancing

I could totally see it! And levi's needlepoint! HAH!! And poor Frankie and joem...

i love it!

And I could so see Stormi asking if the Lizards were humping. I totally heard her voice saying that.

I'm going to read it again.

One of my favorite parts is Jefe and RWC's get-rich-quick schemes. It's completely unrelated to what the episode is about, but it's such a funny sidebar!

The hands of my gray matter are clapping.

There's so many funny parts I don't know where to start.... Levi's needlepoint, the lizard sexpile, Fay and her endless dancing....

My howls have subsided into giggling fits now. Now I'm gonna read it again now.
Airfascistwife, Lewis the Crackhead and Stormi Stormfront. New alternics sockpuckets all around.

sockpuckets sockpuppets. Hard to type while you're giggling.

Done reading. That was the best thing I've ever seen. I'd refrained from teasing him about it cuz we love him so much, but the joke about Kevin starting another blog was sooo funny. And "Helen! Have you seen my Mordor password?" LMAO.

3:00 is a bit early for tea, but I have to accomodate his schedule shedyule. :)

That crystal ball is very, um... feminine.

I pretty much lost it while lady red was reminiscing about how CJ peed a little when she called him a honky.

And how zorkie was trying to figure out how to oppress Mexicans. I snorted and breathed up a bit of fluff from my flokati rug over that one.

I loved the "Evariste practicing his dance moves" panel.

[Invis-O-Text™: ON]
".. He did a little jump and whistle and then remembered he was in the middle of coding and had left his boss on hold". And zorkie's disguise is just great. And the "negative loops from hyperspace".
[Invis-O-Text™: OFF]

Too funny.

Ooooh, my crush on Solus is back.

LMFAO!

While it is late Ferkakta time, may I make one great bow to MS. Zorkie.

"His fascist leanings would not let him sit up straight." Shit, I'm going to have to explain to Zaphod why the internet is making me laugh uncontrollably again.

I can't wait to show this to AFG!! He's going to love it! He's been on my case about not doing anything exciting since getting kicked of Montel. I mean, this isn't as exciting as Montel - more pathetic. But still...

Cor blimey missus, that was farkin' hilarious.

Airfacistwife LOL! And everything else. Brilliant zorkie, thank you.

Oh zorkie - this is magnificent! You've outdone yourself.

Another masterpiece, Zorkie! And so quick.

I don't know all the characters in Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, but it's cool that I look like an early 19th century Johnny Cash.

I'm jealous that cba gets to be Liv Tyler. How on earth Steven Tyler made a kid that totally hot seems to openly flout scientific theory and law.

And cba gets to be her.

Hubba hubba.

Okay, I'm off to bed. Zorkie, I'm going to read this at least four times tomorrow, I know it!! It's so awesome!

L'chaim to all our fascist characters! You guys are a blast! :-)

I'm glad you liked it, it was fun writing it.

Now that frankie's a fascist, he has to wear pants all the time!

The mention of Steve Tyler reminded me of a classic line from The Simpsons:

Oh, no! That guy just fell on Aerosmith!

Look closer. The lower half of my body is blacked out.

I'm going to bed. It's good to be back, y'all.

It's good to have you back, 1×10¹²!

zorkie, I just have to also note that florrie the Ent was another stroke of genius.

#38 zorkmidden: l'chaim zorkie. You are a comic genius. My face still hurts from how hard that made me laugh.

And good night all.

Good night Fay, sweet dreams.

#50 zorkmidden: Yes. That's what makes it so ingenious.

This is freaking hilarious!

AWESOME!

Frank continued checking his watch, not caring whether solus was banned from Mordor or Gordor; crream puffs were to be had, and where was bigel?

Priceless, zorkie, you nailed it!

I actually did "laugh out loud" at AM42 & gutterfiends "stealth disguises"!

I love my ent part, thank you zorkie :-)

joem's too, tee hee.

Bloggie's budget was low again and he had to substitute feta for cream cheese and add some extra sugar to hide the goat smell.

"Come, don't trouble your cute little brain with such difficult thoughts".

And all this is just from part one of the trilogy. I don't know how you did it, zorkie, you really nailed the comrade's personalities! I'm glad I checked on bloggie before turning in.

That Fay, she sure loves to dance, doesn't she? :-)

Good night, bloggie mous.

Good night florrie mas, sleep well.

Absolutely hilarious, well done Zorkie. I wish we could all gather for real at the Green Dragon and have a few pints and laugh even more.

I remain, as always, your humble and obedient servant,

The Uberfascist Guvnor of the Northern Territories

The words "Levi folded his needlepoint and reflected on the day's events" next to a picture of Theoden equals comic gold. Now I have to explain to my husband why I'm giggling at my laptop.

:-D

OMG!!! This is brilliant! Why didn't anyone warn me? I'd have gotten up earlier!

Oh LMAO at part I! I'm cackling madly at every page :-D. I won't even quote the best parts because each line is better than the next.

On to part II!

Oh! I LOVE my character! You've made me so beautiful! I wish I looked like that...

Hmm, stale chicken soup. The possibilities seem endless!

[Invis-O-Text™: ON]
FAQ Charles
[Invis-O-Text™: OFF]
::snort:: ::pfft::
There goes my keyboard...

LMAO, annie!

I'm glad I made you laugh. The real thing was so hysterical to begin with that I was afraid BOOL would pale by comparison.

Oh, one more LOL and LMAO before I go. This was just fantastic zorkie. So much effort and imagination!

And yet no one at my non stale soup...

I haven't dared try and explain the whole kerfuffle to anyone at home because it sounds so ridiculous when it's all actually put into words.

'twere fun though :-)

Of course a whole episode could have been written about "evariste's stealth accounts" but I'll let someone else do the honours :-)

And don't forgot a chapter on Arabic pr0n! That could be a whole new episode of BOOL.

As you always claim, BOOL writes itself :-D

BTW I have to second the other commenters further up thread, your characterizations were brilliant!

Thanks annie :-)

Zorkmistress, it was cruel, snarky, sarcastic, and so true. Hard to laugh this much before my allergy meds kick in. I almost choked.

Actually I think Tolkien would have approved.

Fascist that he was.

OMG! So that's why she was so quiet yesterday! BRILLIANT! My jaws hurt.

#31 Trillian: "His fascist leanings would not let him sit up straight."

That was my fave, too! And cba's FAQ.

NYN is perfect! Perfect, I'm telling you!

#38 zorkmidden: it was fun writing it.
I bet it was, I can just imagine you cackling madly as you were writing it. The whole thing is just PERFECT!

OMG it's frigging hilarious. I'll have to take another look tonight.

I would comment, but this is way too funny for words...

'Lord Of The Dings' would have been another good title, though a little too obscure, maybe.

BTW, this was funny as hell.

How did you know I slouch?

Holy. Crap... Can't. Breathe... Laughing. Too. Hard... It. Hurts.

I tried reading it through, but I had to stop at the humping lizards part.

LOL. Too funny.

-click below for full size-:

Well, now I know where all the blogmates are hanging out at the movie house on a Monday. I hope you don't mind I brung my own goodies....I hate paying 10 bucks for a drink and some popcorn.

...NY Nana as Smeagle....brilliant!

#91 jaujau: Definitely. One of several parts that had me laughing out loud.

More fun with dindgeing, er, dinging:

re: #164 Bob in Breckenridge

Bullshit, kick the asshole again and again, Mandy.

I didn't mean to ding you up. I was just curious to see who had dinged you up and hit the wrong button.

Man, I'm feeling conflicted here.

Later.

Zorkie, this is the funniest thing I've ever read! I howled all the way through it!

You are a genius. You captured all of us so perfectly!

The humping lizards and NYN as Smeagle about did me in!

I haven't laughed this hard in years...

I can't stop giggling about annie and the stale chicken soup!

"When Jewish Grannies Go Bad..."

I laughed at everything everyone else mentioned, but I didn't notice anyone mentioning "chain email was oiled and aired." I thought that was worth a LOL or two. Maybe even a LMAO.

#97 cba γβα גבא ابت вба: I definitely was LMAO. I couldn't list everything that slew me though!

zorkie, your genius never fails to astound me, but I'm definitely in astound overdrive right now.

Too, too funny.

One Hundredth!

Madam Z is a comedic genius. In addition to all other kinds thereof.

In the meantime, ev's interweb celebritydom spreads like wildfire.

#102 solus rex: heh, I was wondering if anyone from Bloggie had noticed! I was just expanding on a comment I'd left in the right car wrong time thread, in response to a comment of zorkie's. In part, the expanded version was also a reaction to the recent entries on VFR about how small gestures of making Muslims unwelcome in Europe were having outsized effects, so I thought I'll send it to him and see what happens. If anything, I expected he might post it as a comment in one of those. I wasn't expecting him to post it as its own article! I was thrilled when I saw how he'd posted it. The headline is really good, too-that part's Auster's, not mine. I also liked the sentence he pulled out of it to use as an intro.

Now that pretty much everyone has seen it I don't feel bad about possibly spoiling it, so I'm going to mention what one of my 4 or 5 favorite jokes was. This one, I thought, was so clever and so unexpected it would be really wrong of me to spoil it before its time. It's that levi's needlepoint was "Hitler In The Garden With Butterflies."

Where the hell does she get this stuff?! LMAO!

Perhaps, I shall write a GA post on the underlying failure of Jared (tt?) Diamond's Guns Germs and Steel. The fundamental problem is a failure to listen to Plato.

The physical world is trivial compared to the ideational world.

I speak to the Muslims where I live. I sometimes speak harshly and sometimes kindly -- but my messages are always aimed first at the children. I try to teach them the virtues of America and of canines. I also imply clearly that I shall brook no disrespect for either me or my dog.

#105 evariste:

"The insidious process of the destruction of meaning" -- yes, this is very good.

#103 zorkmidden:

#105 evariste:

Enjoy your new friend.

LOL!!

I was materially personally distressed (for reasons extraneous to other bloggieites) about the events of June 12th such that I posted little that night. (Sometimes containing passion is impossible) I found Zorkie's metaphor of my doing needlepoint both hilarious and precisely on point (needlepoint).

Incandescent writing, Ms. Zork.

But solus, you forgot the pout at the end.

Thank you for the good words everyone :-)

They're lazy and they smell bad

Ev, could you tell me what a "right-liberal" is, again?

That was an unexpectedly difficult question to answer, but I think I did OK.

Speaking of answered questions... did you answer mine yet? I know you said you were writing a novel.

I haven't got the email yet so I wonder if you sent it to my work address.

OK, no biggie. And I do thank you for your help.

Auster posts ev's comments as entire posts, Jourdan chats him up on the phone...How far are we from VFR format?

#122 Jefe: My LOLs come from the heart.

#124 zorkmidden: As do mine. And they've been plentiful here. Sometimes, LOL doesn't seem to do it justice.

And that is if you qualify to immigrate to the States, of course. For example, to immigrate here, you have to show proof of income, that you won't come here and burden the state, you have a guaranteed job or some form of support.

Bloggie is going to merge with VFR, and we're all going to get laid off, right?

It's closer to 20 years if you're from the Philippines (at least it was in the mid-90s).

40 acres and a mule?

With my luck, I'll end up with 40 mules and an acre. There goes the world tour. Gotta take care of the mules.

Andrew Sullivan.

Think about how much poo 40 mules would create!

how often is a dog supposed to poop?

Zeke has been known to poop twice on the same walk, though he hasn't been doing that recently.

Jefe, mules are the new tractors! In a couple of years, they'll probably be worth so much money that you could fund your world tour if not for the fact that oil will have priced us out of travelling, in which case you COULD settle for travelling wherever your leftover mules could take you? Like, maybe Nebraska? I bet you could be World Famous in Nebraska ;OD

You may be onto something there! The mules could haul my gear. Now if only they could be trained to set it up, too.

Never saw a dog poop that much, but one time a stray dog came to our house and peed on a tree. My dog saw him do it and ran over and peed on the tree too. The stray walked around the tree and peed on the other side, my dog followed him and peed on the other side of the tree. Pretty soon both dogs were going around and around the tree, peeing over eachothers "mark". It was a real life pissing contest.

Air Force Family is unique!!

Don't people only poop once a day?

The mules could haul my gear. Now if only they could be trained to set it up, too.

They should keep their pennies in their pants!

See there Jefe, monkeyweather has figured out how to make you money. You don't even have to fiddle.

Don't people only poop once a day?

afw, ever since I saw "Daddy" on the "Dog Whisperer", I've thought pits were adorable. Never thought they were much to look at before, but Daddy is just such a doll!

#149 Jefe
AHAHAHAH! :OD

Well, I'm biased. But I think Ike is very handsome. And goofy. I love the way he talks to people.

I do wish he would sing like Zeke, though.

My brother had a great quote about this. We were talking about PT, and he said, "Sometimes you start a 5 mile run with underwear, and you finish without. And only one sock. Especially if you had a bean burrito with extra hot sauce the night before."

Stormi, I'll have to tell you his National Guard/Air Force story sometime.

a traditional rain forest diet

It's manioc!

But I want to fiddle! The challenge is making money while fiddling

I'm tellin ya Jefe, it's just the angle you need to go GLOBAL!

I have been wondering what my 'angle' should be. These are all excellent ideas.

Yes Jefe, they are excellent. You should do them all. And send photos.

p.s. don't forget the sombrero! You could have your band name embroidered on it!

I just read this again.

I think I'm going to save the phrase, "She just didn't have time to go to war today" for future use.

My only (very slight) quibble is when you say

So many articles in the news media are already blandly alleging that the Muslim terrorists they're writing about are "British" or "Italian" or "Canadian," just because the terrorist in question possesses the passport of one of those countries. It's not just wrong, it's libelous.

I miss all the fun! - zorkie that was absolutely hilarious, I'm glad I read it at home & not in the office for I was loling all over the place.

I still break into uncontrollable giggling every time I get to Stormi saying "Omg, they're all humping each other! SRSLY!!"

did someone rub the lamp?
relly, i thot u guyz wuz past that.

zork, ur satire is vasty improved from the bad old days when u were so un-hip as to think all the pussycatdolls wuz black.

minor correction ev, Charles allus let me back whether i bought him sumpin or not...hes banned me at least 7 times....
and he only ever banned for me one thing...mockin zulubooby. ;)

and...rip on Charles all you want, pathetic loozers. He's still the blogger that brought down Dan Rather, and helped open the floodgates of alternative media. He'll still be a legend in the annals of blogger history, while "bloggie" and its commentariat will be "faerytales in books written by rabbits."

Charles Johnson FTW!

I sincerely hope that you don't write like that when you send out resumes.

I see CJ sent out his illiteracy brigade to defend him again.

Really, this is the best you can do, Chuckles? Sending us this semi-literate halfwit who gives Britney Spears gravitas by comparison?

zork, ur satire is vasty improved from the bad old days when u were so un-hip as to think all the pussycatdolls wuz black.

But not before getting me a sammich.

Is she for real? How old are you, anyway, that you think it's cool and clever to write like a 12 year old sending a text message?

...and helped open the floodgates of alternative media.

BTW, it wasn't me who said "rub the lamp" first.

I thought the Newest Muslimah would have shaheeded herself by now.

Poor Charles. He did all that linking to DL hoping his lizards would come defend him and the only person who showed up was the twit.

helped open the floodgates of alternative media

What a shame that PJ Media no longer values his talents the way she does.

And PoO.

The drama for jinndi.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for them lunachix.

Point of Order is an intellectual giant compared to this dimwit. (And compared to Charles, too.)

LOL!

Well, thank G-d for that. This was starting to seem like the brooms from the Sorcerer's Apprentice.

We ain't watching no "Masterpiece Thee-yayter" tonight. Hee Haw's on Channel 9!

So, #171 really was the twit? I thought it was someone else mocking her with satire. But I guess she doesn't need anyone to do that. The satire writes itself, with built-in mockery. Does she still read bloggie obsessively, zorkie, searching for references to herself - or even "lamp" or "rub"?

wow zork
stalking my aunts ISP? why not publish it?

i rent from my aunt and uncle FYI.
so i can afford to keep my horse, u twit.
how very principled of you as a blogmaster. ;)

and some one sent me the link. i havent been here in ages.
with good reason.

btw, you certainly have been reading me obsessively, zork.
stalk much?
sowwy, but i don't read you.
ever.

What a narcissist. I bet she was wishing to see herself, and when she saw she hadn't even rated a mention in zorkie's latest effort, had to give in to her attention-seeking compulsion.

But obviously my #209 hit a sore spot :-)

wow zork
stalking my aunts ISP?

The blogging... it's coming from inside the house!

stalkerliarzork
how on earth would u know i converted or played WoW while i was helping take care of my dad?

no, it wasnt Lewis Wu.

no other blogs even link here anymore, do they?
ur own private echo chamber.

word.

Other blogs?

word.

#236 zorkmidden: Yeah, your blog hasn't linked here in ages. Our traffic was cut by one person.

I'm pretty sure it was there a few months ago.

And the internet is still mourning.

I have neither clue nor interest as to how many places link here. Because of the hippo (and an odd GA post or two), we bring in little chunks of the world including dead cows.

I read Bloggie because sometimes I learn things, because sometimes it makes me laugh and because sometimes it makes me cry, and because of an odd ethereal affection towards people I have (nearly but not quite) unanimously not met.

I would note that saying "word" to one's own comments fails to impress.

And after all these years, she still hasn't learned how to spell "irrelevant". And to think it's her own middle name.

Good lord!

This idiot's writing makes Barrens Chat seem tolerable!!!

Then why are you posting here?

Lewis-nah, she's got a new festering shitfest-o-rama. Someone (not trying to be mysterious,I don't remember whom) sent me the link when she converted to Islam. I check it out very sporadically for laughs, it's quantumghosts on blogspot. She has three or four sexless nerd male admirers who post plaintive pleas for her to say something when she vanishes into her WOW addiction for weeks or months at a time. If she was male, they wouldn't be there pretending to take her vain pseudointellectual babble-writing efforts seriously. It's very funny.

ev - did you see my link to the new radio show I'm addicted to? I think you'd really enjoy their conversations!

Wait, Ev. Are you saying that my guess that this tool was engaging in Barrens Chat was actually right on target?!?!

One two three four five six happening abdominal shoezzzz.

Y'o'l fascist... how about some o' that Wupp Wupp?

Zug-Zug!

Police in Bridgeport, Conn., say they arrested a man after he ordered his pet to attack two officers. Lucky for them, 9-foot-long pythons aren't very obedient.

They aren't obedient because they don't have ears.

Where would you put ears on a snake? That would look kind of silly, sort of like a Mr. Potatohead toy. :)

They aren't obedient because they don't have ears care. :P

After the building's superintendent opened the apartment door for the officers, Rodriguez allegedly threatened them with the snake and told it to "Get them!"

Really, "Get them!"? How pedestrian. At least say something zazzy like "Slay them, my pet!"

He's no Thulsa Doom, that's for sure.

And another one bit the dust...

#1234 Charles 6/16/08 8:31:39 pm reply quote 1

[Babba Zee] apparently bought into a delusion that I edited posts, in order to avoid admitting that they were deleted for no reason.

I didn't. Why would I do something like that? Who knows.

Many of the people who decided to believe that about me -- despite years of evidence that I don't do that kind of thing -- are now posting at her blog.

I'm only at home for a few moments and then I have to leave again, so I'm blatantly ignoring airforcewife's and Jourdan's comments to me for a second but I will return in a little bit and reply. I just wanted to link to the latest Auster post, which is again both unfailingly accurate and devastating to Charles Johnson: Revealing himself as the thug and vandal that he is [...] Johnson is not only a very low person, he is very stupid and incapable of pursuing a rational line of argument. (The part before the ellipsis is about Johnson's redirection of Auster readers to the "You Are An Idiot" shock site, the part after is about his dishonest smear tactics. Quoted for deliciousness, along with:

It is a disgrace that this person has a large following and that mainstream conservatives such as Powerline, Michelle Malkin, and, in particular, Robert Spencer, who attended the conference in Brussels that Johnson attacked, have failed to condemn him.

#259 evariste: I read that entry a few minutes ago. I've deleted all my bookmarks to lgf, but when I clicked on something that linked there (I think it was where Frank linked to Throbert's comment that is referenced in the LA entry) my web filter at work blocked it as a "malicious" site. Heh. I wonder what kind of spam he's sending as part of his paranoid "security".

Hmmm... that's interesting. It's locked up my IE several times in the past two days (but no problems with Firefox].

A note to Throbert-I am astonished at the vitriolic and personally insulting tone of your comments about Auster over there. I've noticed you doing it a couple of times on Bloggie as well, and it turned me off. I just ignored it on the assumption that your comments were reactions to the specific Auster articles in question and that you were not a careful and frequent reader of his, so your ignorance could be overlooked. I see from your comment over there that you're planning to let me know what you think about all this hubbub; I look forward to it. You're a very intelligent guy and you don't have to stoop to namecalling when you can use that intellect of yours to take apart their arguments. I encourage you to treat Auster's writing and thinking seriously and civilly in your replies; the fact that three such intelligent people as me, solus rex, and Jourdan respect him highly as a thinker should give you pause as to your approach. I think none of the three of us agree with everything the guy says, especially on topics such as, say, evolution (he's agin' it), homosexuality (agin' it), or Auster's habit of taking other conservative public intellectuals to task, which Kevin has suggested may be counterproductive to a degree (I personally enjoy it tremendously as very honest, clarifying, and refreshing). Anyway, Auster never makes it personal. He attacks a person's weak arguments, inconsistent positions, and (in Johnson's case) bad behavior.

And now I will really leave, I've been running around all day doing errands and I've got some more to do before I can fully relax and sit down to work, think, and write.

You don't have to agree with every last thought of Auster's to find tremendous value in his prodigious intellectual output. My favorite thing about him is that he says things that were not obvious until he said them, but are so powerful and true once you've read it that they become part of your mental landscape. His subtle thinking process and interactive, iterative quest for truth and insight in public with his readers is marvelous. I can name more than a few "Auster concepts" that I've internalized and made mine. His whole approach is very fresh and original. Anyway, I encourage you to read him more often, and with an open mind, and see if you might soften your stance.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to start a war over Auster here, I was just interested in the lizards' reaction to Throbert's post.

Joem -

I didn't link directly there, perhaps it's a problem with t-url and not LFG itself?

No war. I stood up for principle, not for Auster or Jobling personally. With both of whose views I have significant disagreements.

Oh, never mind, I see Ev followed it from Auster's article. I should just keep my big yap shut.

Heh... I thought that said "swishingly".

OK, I'm forcing myself to leave now. Bye. Back later.

I think it was the italics. Italics are more "swish" than "swine". :)

Also the juxtaposition of "flamboyantly".

Speaking of that word, ever seen the fun lowbrow art-mag Juxtapoz? I think I used to pick up a copy of it, along with the Onion, from the free stuff stack in the foyer of Borders Books & Music on my way out from browsing and buying books; I treated the free stuff as lagniappe, reading it first (usually at a bar or coffeeshop) to savor my anticipation of reading the books I'd bought. I just got back from Googling to check, and apparently they charge $5 for it on their website. Maybe they charged money for it, but I could swear it was free. It could be something like the Onion, which is given away on the street in certain cities but costs money to subscribe to.

These days I'm too terrified to go into bookstores because I have such an obscene pile of unread books and I know I'll just buy even more. I wonder if Juxtapoz is a local Chicago thing or if they have it nationally? I haven't read it in two or three years now.

Lagniappe comes from the Quechua word yapa.

It is with utter humiliation that I admit my grandmother introduced me to The Onion.

(she got a copy somewhere when she was hiking across the Rockies in my pre-internet years)

is it a jinx, or do I owe RWC a coke, thimbleful of cognac or a slice of cheese?

Probably all three, Smit :-)

feh - he can have a pre-emptive chicken.

Who was the ex-Lizard ex-Colloquiumer that ran the Katrina scam?

A C&C&C - Cognac & Coke with a chunk of Limburger dunked in it.

a delusion that I edited posts, in order to avoid admitting that they were deleted for no reason.

So what's he saying here? That he deletes posts for no reason?

Ah, RebTex, that's the one.

Babba Zee's blog is well done. I walked through the place where she linked to a service referring to readability. Bloggie and Big Lizard were high school level, TOB was junior high and Powerline was elementary school.

Friday evening (or Saturday) I will link to her link of the Ballad of the Thin Man.

I remain fond of tfk.

lolz

So is there a storm a-brewing in the gulf of mexico perchance?

Yes, in Maryland we use Riccota.

#289 סטרמי Stormi: You said it, sista.

As for DL - I never even think about them, until they make it necessary by planning their stupid little troll attacks.

Say, that reminds me ...

When is our next troll attack planned for?

Uh, no, wait, that there's a dangling preposition. Can't have that.

Let's see ...

When is for planned our next troll attack?

No.

When planned is for our next attack troll?

Nope.

For planned our next troll attack is when?

Oh, screw it.

Let's just sic the DL Kitty on him and call it a day.

Lewis, where was that quote from?

cba:

In CJ's comment #679 on the "VDH on Buchanan" thread, in response to Throbert.

Andrew Sullivan posts on LFG?

There was an LGFer running a Katrina scam? Do tell!

There was an LGFer running a Katrina scam? Do tell!

I'm obviously really curious!

The kids and I are watching Sliders (season 1) and the funniest thing just happened in the episode!

They slid into a 1960s world and asked:

what year it was (1995)
who the CA governor was (Pete Wilson)
And who was president (Oliver North)

I almost died laughing!

LMAO!

I don't get it.

And that's sad, because apparently it was hilarious.

Here.

I have delegated zorkie to tell the story, and she has graciously accepted. It's a hilarious and weird tale but I'm really busy writing something else at the moment and can't do it proper justice.

We'll leave the slander liability to her.

zorkie's telling a story? *SQUEAL!*

I can't wait!

Charles of course had posted a thread on LGF encouraging the entire effort and donations and sending his readership to give money. Then, after several dozen threads turned into such an epic fiasco of fighting, Johnson ended up banning all discussion of the topic and banning anyone who would broach it. So a small cottage industry of blogspot blogs sprang up to carry on the fight forevermore, and this event is the direct ancestor of GCP and cause of LGC's demise and abandonment, as they all ganged up together to figure out what to do about their money and how to get back at bayou king. Until then, bayou king had been a member of LGC (the "Little Green Colloquium", now long defunct) and the scam made the blog go belly up, since some of them sided with the scammer--"he's our friend!" and some of them were victims of said scammer.

I'm sure there are more things I forgot but this is the gist of it.

OMG how pafe'ic.

It was such a fiasco that even Iron Fist exclaimed that "this is worse than the fight with DL!" :-D

Perfectly told zorkie mou! I'll add that the name "GCP" refers to "Gulf Coast Pundit", so it's right in the name what the blog was founded for, and their earliest posts are all about the scam and the exiled-from-LGF effort to remediate it and make the guy explain what happened to all their money.

A hilarious fiasco from start to finish. And when the monster Johnson had helped unleash by stamping his personal imprimatur on it raged out of control, he just silenced the trusting victims of the scam and washed his hands of it. I haven't checked, but I would not be surprised if he's disappeared that entry of his from LGF.

Not quite defunct... just floating belly-up for quite some time.

I like not having to whisper any more.

The thing that cracks me up the most is that he never bothered to update the blogroll, even a year ago when it was still limping along.

Another hysterical note on the above story: At the time, NY Nana was bragging about LGF's relief efforts and was berating DL for not organizing any scams relief efforts like the LGFers were doing.

And weren't there heart-rending stories about a brother who was working in a hospital in NO after seeing his wife and child to safety?

And I missed it all! NOOOOOO!

Because I'm a real djinn and you're a lame imitation.

if u were a real djinni u wud know how to spell it!
djinn is plural.

hahahaha

lololo11!!lol!leventy!

lulz, this is still the lamest mostboringest blog ever.
ur a grievous waste of spacetime, whankers.

;)

One truly bizarre thing is that the guy didn't just take the money and run like a Nigerian. He posted hundreds of comments on LGF making excuses and giving evasive nonanswers and demanding weird, impossible-to-satisfy preconditions before he would give any accounting and defending himself and insulting the poor marks. I mean, it was truly surreal observing this.

And... right on cue - up pops the twit!

No, not evariste

(please don't ban me!)

Recommended by SmugMonkey, too. I donated to Salvation Army, but I also remember donating to some blog recommended thing, I think via Michelle Malkin. I didn't feel too comfortable with it, but I figured I'd send a pittance (and keep the bigger $$ for SA). I wouldn't have sent anything without the rec of someone like MM, but after reading this, I doubt I'd do it again.

This is totally hilarious!

Ah well, I'm off to bed. The kids have swim team practice early tomorrow. There goes my summer...

G'night, afw!

#333 Lyana: as long as you promise not to criticise me or disagree with me or ding me down. Or, since I haven't added that capability to Bloggie, you must promise to report yourself to me if you would have dinged me down. Sinning in your heart, banning on my blog.

I have sympathy for the scammed TOBers. It is difficult sometimes to figure out how to do good. CJ of course had some responsibility to determine what was actually going on. Right after Katrina there might have been difficulties with exercising those responsibilities, (in insurance, you just write checks after disasters and worry later as to whether those checks were really owed); the responsibility remained with CJ. At some point he should have caught up to it.

#330 jinnderella: your comment is as intensely lame as you yourself. Now you're quibbling with an English speaker about her pluralization of Arabic words? We're talking about grown up stuff now. Shut your filthy piehole and go play WOW or touch your horse inappropriately.

Poor horse.

If you add dingeing-down, could you also add a real-time function that would show a flashing red light and an alarm bell that goes off when a poster is dinged?

Ween is awesome.

Didn't they 'sing' that song, "Push the little daisies and make them come up!" Or some such.

Since you're not using it, can I borrow it for a bit?

LULZ ur spelleng is worng u whankerz. ;-)

#350 Jefe: yeah! I love that one.

Cheater!

I like that frantically manic increasingly freaking out screaming/singing style, possibly because I wasn't breast-fed as a baby.

I love you, Zorkie.

And to think that other blogs ban folks like this. This is just too much fun!

Gimme that Z, o-l-o-f-t
Gimme a grip, make me love me...

So there.

Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Well, no more than I should be, being a Canadian DLer.

One Long Island Ice Tea with Acid, coming up. :P

#364 zorkmidden: If there's a Chabad (like there was in Thailand for the tsunami), then I donate to them. Only a minute amount of their donations go to overhead.

Unlike, say, World Vision.

(Runs to hide under desk.)

Are you suggesting that cba needs to change her Depends?

Bloggie has the best "Best Of" episodes.

I've got nothing but love for Chabad since they adopted me that afternoon in Venice.

When they found you selling pencils in St. Marks Square?

Yes, exactly like that.

Oh, look who just paid us a visit.

I'm not sure who is the one on the left, but that's NY Nana on the right.

I didn't hear the continuation of the joke.

Yes, that's very funny.

Hey, there should be a function that shows the number of F5's since the previous post.

LMAO!

I'm with CBA on the previous as a person who discards about half of his longer posts.

Was it hard to find the hundreds of the Jinn's F5's among the thousands of mine, Zorkie?

That's OK, I discard the rest of yours.

Just kidding! ;)

What's the deal with Chuckle's sudden obsession with I.D.?

But then again, his life seems to be a series of sudden obsessions.

Are you afraid? Good. Our power is enhanced by your fear. And you're all banned from LGF. Ha ha ha. You think it was an accident? It was a trap, you idiot! You jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Like Scientology, we're compiling incriminating dossiers to threaten you with later, so you can never leave. LGF could not ban you fast enough; we've got more of the East German model, preventing you from leaving in order to oppress you and building a wall manned with machinegunners to prevent you from escaping to the West.

Is he serious? Is he kidding? Ha ha. Keep wondering. You love Big Brother.

+1

And we love them scared and obedient.

+1

+1 F5 +1 F5 +1 F5 +1

Frank is such a suck-up!

Sorry, I meant neo-moon sympathizer.

*stuffs sock puppets into Diner oven*

Oh. Well then, in that case, nevermind! I hereby renounce all dinger-downers (except for those who ding the deserving - ie, those who dis your gracious wisdom, omniscience and omnipotence) and repent of any potential disloyal thoughts I may have entertained in sackcloth and ashes. I throw myself on your benificent magnanimity and um... niceness.

PBUY

LOL at the last few.

Someday I may learn to be funny or at least moony.

Sock puppets screams "weeeeeee" when you sleets deirs throatses.

They is good eat.

This fred thread keeps on growing! Every time I turn my back (or catch some sleep) there are another couple hundred comments.

LOL! at pretty much all of them. (still catching up...)

The fred that keeps on giving... We could call it Fred Jr III (Fred II being the wrong car thread).

:-D

Well that's what you get for sleeping...

Hey, there should be a function that shows the number of F5's since the previous post.

Heh... that must have spooked Zevorkie. :)

I did it while pantsless, so if it creeped her out enough to ban someone it'll be you

hahaha

same old same old
if u obsessively track your hits (i guess cuz there are so few of them) then u will know i havent been here in ages...when did i last comment? 2006? i dont membah.
i did dig up some old links here a cuple months ago, to mess with pablo and lewis at PW.
but there certainly wasnt anything here worth commenting on.

don't you see how pathetic your attacks on Charles are?
you never forgave him for not gettin pithed by schiavo like the rest of you twodigits.
well, he was right, as it turns out.
and you were wrong.

i was baiting u just a little zork, to see if it might be fun griefing on you a bit.
but it is just too boring.
u havent grown.
ur still stuck in the same place you were two years ago.

We don't define ourselves in terms of our relation with Charles, as you do, twit.

Joe Katzman gave u guyz a great opportunity at Winds, u know.
u could have been contenders.
instead you're just petty bitter whankers nursing your imaginary greivances against Charles in a boring echo chamber.

enjoy ur circle jerk.
bye
;)

And is it really that hard for you to speak English, like an adult? Your posting style doesn't make you look unique or cool, just deranged.

Okay... I've been trying to ingore you, but do you actually talk like that in the real world?

Yes, I do. :P

But seriously... you're assuming that she actually has contact with the real world.

LOL. Dammit, Frank... you're took quick.

Too quick, as well.

Notice how she can't define herself in terms of her own achievements, only those of others. Seriously, she has no identity to call her own.

I'm not sure what her obsession with WoC is, either. I don't mean any disrespect for Mr. Katzman, but that blog is not quite that high on the radar screen.

Ms Jinn - you keep claiming we're boring. Au contraire ma petite. You're the boring one. You have no life outside blogs so you can't resist checking up on DL obssessively. You assume we care about CaJo. We only care "about" him inasfar as he is rude to our comrades. Other than that he can rot in his Darwinian unintelligently designed blog.

If we're so boring why do you keep coming back here to see what we're saying about you?. Which is basically zilch.

I don't know why I care about this. I really don't. However, I did endure the painfully-long, platinum-blog page loads to read CJ's Derbyshire on Bobby Jindal (Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 6:25:11 pm PDT) post. Some observations:

-There appear to be quite a few evil lizards who have not only dared to disagree with CJ, but who have also received numerous up-dings for doing so.

_A few lizards who suggested the dissenters may no be around for long received down-dings. Perhaps they've had enough of CJ's childing bannings tantrums.

-CJ probably didn't read through the links he posted, as he may be surprised to find who he's in bed with...

Late update: This post originally asserted that we "discovered" Jindal's essay, but several readers have brought to our attention that we are not the first to blog on this subject. Daily Kingfish and DailyKos discussed Jindal's exorcism experience during his gubernatorial campaigns in 2003 and 2007, and Jezebel parodied it as recently as last month.

Also, there is lots of complaining about the whole dinging system. RealWest openly hates it.

And one guy who wanted to reward another poster who had complimented his previous post, accidently dinged the latter post down rather than up.

He has several posts on this Jindal guy on his front page, about as many as about Obama. In the earlier thread about Jindal, posted at 5.06.56 also on Tuesday, the same phenomenon occurs in the commenters - people disagreeing with CaJo, getting snark back from him, but most of them refusing to back down. He seems more childish than ever.

A few years ago, a troubled gentleman walked into my church and asked for an exorcism. My pastor and I and the pastor of the Hispanic Baptists laid our hands upon his shoulders and prayed that the spirits which were troubling him would leave and to wish him peace.

I am not clear that the demons of the New Testament are not real phenomena to some persons (or more simply not real).

I would never vote for Jindal. Look at how close together his eyes are. You can't trust folks like that.

Fourdigits good, twodigits bad.

I am not clear that the demons of the New Testament are not real phenomena to some persons (or more simply not real).

If not, you should. I just adore the actress that plays the courtroom specialist on demonic possession. She was a doctor in C3, too. I think she's in her 60s and she's just beautiful. And I love the way she talks.

Actually, the demons that said "our name is Legion" referred specifically to the Roman Empire.

#437 airforcewife: The Persian actress whose name I forget. I love her too, she also starred in "The House of Sand and Fog" and her perfomance was incredible. And Ben Kingsley was perfect as always.

zorkie, I think you're the one that told me she was Persian! I thought she was Indian (subcontinent).

Persian women seem to have a tremendous genetic tendency towards aging beautifully. At least in the US.

I remember reviews chastising it for excessive Russian gloom.

But it's exquisite gloom.

Indeed. We old-worlders understand.

I saw that movie when it first came out but had to read the IMDB synopsis to refresh my memory. Yes, it was a stunner.

I met a Persian lady whose name was Nora Lee. I'll bet anything that her given name was "Nur Ali".

And... in the spirit of and lolcat for every occasion...

I am feeling somewhat sexually disorientered today, so please don't ban me. I haz a toof ache.

Well, I see this thread is about being banned well I was just banned this week from LGF and I have been there for over 7 years and I must say I am shocked???????!!!!!

I do not understand what is getting into Charles and his radical bent about ID vs Darwin, regardless of what side one is on....

I said some things about Charles needing to learn to how to build an alliance and he is purposely creating division by bringing up this issue and being dogmatic about it.....we have a worldwide Islamic movement to take us all down and on the homefront, domestically speaking, we have the radical left doing everything to rip our civilization down......and here Charles is getting unhinged about an issue that is very very debatable!!

I simply do not understand it.....to be sure, I left a few rebuking remarks to Charles and his agenda and for that , my account was blocked this week!!

I tried to reach Charles but I have recd no return email....so that is that I suppose....

I mean, I go to lots of good solid websites and it is hardly the end of the world but it is disappointing to see this latest bent that Charles has been on as of late...and I guess I am not the only one to be banned so that's okay...

Anyways....good to see some familiar names here..

Devon in Alberta

Wow. Now thats a name I've not heard in a good long time! Welcome to the Legion of the Banned. ;-)

Hi, Devon! Long time no see. Make yourself at home.

Obviously, CJ didn't get the memo that Darwinism and race realism are inseparable buddies (neither did Auster, for that matter).

Our loss is their loss.

But seriously, great to see you again, Devon.

Hi Devon, it's much cooler here than there. You're gonna love it. Did you bring cheese?

And we're outside of the hurricane belt.

I wonder how many more babies his missing the m**** hath wrought.

You know, Fay and Matt give WTLI.

You are all banned.

On other news:

-- Islam baaaaad.

-- Palestinians suck.

-- Yay Bush.

-- Anyone taking action on the above is a fascist.

-- Bikes.

-- Islam baaaaad.

I just saved somebody 6 years.

Thanks for the welcome people and I certainly do recognize some names here...very familiar indeed...nice to see some of you....

No Cheese to bring I'm afraid but hopefully I bring some good Conservative common sense that we need in these dangerous times!!

Dev

Uhhh... no cheese? WTF is that about, mang?

Leave him alone...do you know how rare it is to find someone that spells your rare name the same way.

'stormi'....oh right...carry on

I just looked at this again, and it's even funnier. I think it gets funnier every time I read it.

zorkie, you're a genius.

I missed this at the time. but...
EL OH EL!

Cough

Jefe is coughing at Gordo's latest LGF drivel blog, which he marketed in this thread. We decided to delete the comment because zorkie's threads devoted to her Flash works should not be used that way. Also because we are bastards. We emailed him that he's welcome to post it on some other thread, however.

Yes, you are bastards. All will be exposed. Except for the saintly Levi

Aww, and it was a perfect reference. I'll have to wait for someone else to screw up an apostrophe.

#477 Jefe:
Jefe, lol!! I could, uh, relate to one of the cels...

Hello everyone. I couldn't find an email for the webmaster so I'll just tag a post on here for now. I hope someone notices it. You can delete it later.

In case you didn't know, Charles Johnson is up for the prestigious Infidel blogger 'Pro Censorship Ass Hat' award.

Yep, we know.

Thanks.

Has anyone heard from Zulubaby lately?

Hmmm, last seen on this site here, I think.
