So many questions.

Speaking as a Marxist, it may help any confused nutjobs if I give a quick cut out and keep guide to tell if Obama is a Marxist. Could save a lot of unwanted frothing in the future:
1) Has he urged the workers to seize control of the means of production and establish a dictatorship of the proletariat as an intermediate stage to the dissolution of class-distinctions?
2) Is he going to work with the workers to transform the way that society produces for itself so that value remains in its sociallised form?
3) Is he going to dismantle the American imperial presence around the globe and side with working people over the bourgeois and autoccraticc states that control access to resources?

There are obviously quite a few more than that, but it’s a good start.

Also, there’s no ‘ph’ in Adolf.

Yeah, because there’s nothing more un-American than a “well regulated militia”?

St00pid lie-bruls!

Don’t think I didn’t smell THAT a mile away.
Funny – but “stools” is funnier.
My stools are always made with shittim.
What would you use to upholster poo?

He uses sickle cell anemia as a metaphor for Obama’s administration.

It starts with an S and it ends with a T
It comes out of you and it comes out of me
I know what you’re thinking but don’t call it that
Let’s be scientific and call it scat!

What?

I played a lot of Robotron. And, of course, Sinistar.

Then computer games came along in a big way, and I lost two years to M.U.L.E. addiction.

It’s enough for me now to have been a Golden Age of Arcades player

Oh, yeah, make me go there, why don’t you…

Ah, Battlezone, Berzerk, and yes, there was a place that actually had Death Race.

Heh, I remember thinking that Defender was over the top when it came out.

lawn, off it

I feel old for being able to remember seeing the Green Card Lawyers spam when it first made the rounds. From the few glimpses I’ve taken lately, Usenet appears to be a bunch of bots and, oddly, ultra-racist ranters.

And to think that it was in the pre-spam days that Kibo declared: “The net is like a vast sea of lutefisk with tiny dinosaur brains embedded in it here and there. Any given spoonful will likely have an IQ of 1, but occasional spoonfuls may have an IQ more than six times that!”

I’m on a couple of mailing lists these days, the good old-fashioned “daily digest through email” kind. They’re moderated and of such specialized interest that trolls wouldn’t bother with them even if they weren’t moderated. They give me enough of the old ‘net feel that I don’t miss Usenet too much.

Simba – you’ve perfectly captured how I feel about them and their fans. It’s a bit eerie.

It’s enough for me now to have been a Golden Age of Arcades player and bore the kids with that. There is an occasional new game I like to play, but damn.

The musical incarnation of wingnut thought.
