What’s this thread about again?

would do, but the fuggers wont allow me to post?

the whole idea is weak, and implies something

Holy. Shit. Not something!

Kevin Drum just put up a “Name yer 3 funniest blogs” thread at PA.

Vote early, vote often.

GOD HELP US! That ridiculous ’shorter so-and-so’ garbage that you guys spew to make a person sound like you WANT them to sound is spreading!

Kevin, the fact is, longer Kevin (aka your posts on S,N! threads) sounds even more like a souless, grasping gooper whore than shorter Kevin.

Count your blessings.

Well, first of all, I’m of Irish/Welsh extraction, so we come by the same kind of, um, flamability.

Second, I have a feeling that you and my sister Christina would be quite the kindred spirits. But I’m sorry, I’ll have to do everything in my power to make certain the two of you never meet. Because I’d be terrified of that….

mikey

Funny you should mention teh police state.

(I’m really not blogwhoring; the clip just happens to be at a site I contribute to sometimes.)

The internets were just blooming then; I was interested in politics so landed at “The People Speak,” where I posted it originally. It was, if I may, universally applauded. *blush*

Most of my “deep thoughts” are in the “pages.”

Sure wish I could write. One of the most amazing things about entering the blogosphere is the realization that I can’t, and the inspiration that comes from those who are unbelievably good at it, and prolific to boot. And being able to say, “What X said.”

I am in awe. This site is no exception.

But here’s the reason that’s ok. See, we KNOW how bloody dysfunctional we are. We know we have to have our family reunions in rented halls without kitchenware. We know everybody has to be patted down for weapons before they are allowed in. We know that furniture will be broken, the police will be called and we will be billed for damages.

*Damn*, Mikey — I didn’t know we were related!!!!

Here’s a tip for the next west-coast reunion: holding it at a venue next door to a 12-steps meeting reduces the damages bill, slightly. That’s the problem with dry drunks like Dubya, they don’t have a sponsor to put The Fear into them.

On the other hand, both Petraeus and Crocker looked stone-cold sober, so I guess there’s only so much horror can be blamed on biochemistry…

I read your blog, and it’s good, I should add. The Bill Clinton resignation speech really was funny.

And, trust me, it was me that killed the thread, for which I apologize.

It’s my gift, or cross to bear, depending on how you look at it.

:-) Until we meet again.

Sadly, it appears Kevin has succeeded in killing the thread, though. Damn you, REPUKEMOROFASCISTS, God damn you to hell!

If anyone’s interested, here’s General Petraeus testifying about whether the Iraq war has made the U.S. safer (with video!!):

In this thread alone you alternate between trying to claim there’s a serious point, but which you won’t or can’t explain, and making extremely childish comments which are literally nothing more than saying “Pew, you stink!”. Now seriously, explain to us where the joke, or even the point of saying “Take a shower” to a parody of your own trolling persona is? Especially in the context of this thread where you are also trying to claim that exactly such reductionist arguments are completely weak….

Now, you might believe that you are making some fantastically sensible point, or being the height of wit in doing so, but those are only your own autistic inner experiences; everyone else however who sees “Kevin” (even if you hadn’t already ruined any joke you now try and tell with months of obsessive and often appallingly pointless behaviour) simply says “Wait, does he realise there isn’t even a meaningful punchline to what he’s just said?” And it looks like nothing more than a 5 year old child who has learned to emulate what they think a joke should be (quick response, apparently unexpected or satirical content) without ever understanding what the soul of Humour is at all; “Mummy, Mummy… what do you call a man with a hat on? Dog biscuit!” And just because sometimes adults pat you on the head and say “aww, how cute”, it doesn’t mean that their objective experience of what you have said has changed at all. They still look at you as a simple child with an underdeveloped sense of humour.

Which you illustrated quite, quite clearly by trying to not only rationalize away the laughter at jokes you don’t understand, but even claiming that one of the core foundations of humour, the hint at a forbidden or deeper truth, didn’t hold true for you confusing people at all… You MUST know, just like Kevin’s own underdeveloped and introspective personality knows that you are just saying anything at all to be patted on the head and told you are cute! You don’t really think there’s any truth in that humour at all… you’re just striking poses too!

But that’s the point at which you just start to sound really rather sad and damaged “Kevin”; Because when you start talking to adults like that, as a supposed adult yourself, and expecting them to actually believe it’s cute that you can’t think above an infantile level, there’s something seriously wrong with your judgement; Especially when, as you were obviously lining up to claim (except no one bit on that poor trolling bait), that anyone without an incoherent, value free and childlike understanding of humour is obviously a totalitarian meanie like those other nasty people. It’s not as if they won’t know, or at least they’ll believe that they understand something deeper about themselves and the world out there than children do… and what possible result except their own embarassing self-debasement could come from someone keep repeating “You don’t really think like that, nyer nyer nyer” to you instead?

No “Kevin”, you really really don’t get it at all… and that’s why people use “Kevin” as a springboard to genuine jokes for everyone else who comes here for Teh Funny… Teh Funny that you are so unable to understand, and so unable to prevent yourself strangling out of the conversation by your increasingly disturbed and incoherant attempts to emulate Teh Fun. They give us “Shorter Kevin” to make up for just how painfully short “Kevin” keeps coming up.

Painfully short bus, I should have said in fact. Ha ha ha, eh?!

And the reason people will laugh at that comment “Kevin” is because the deep truth behind the joke is that people here genuinely will suspect and agree that someone who obsessionally trolls for attention as much as you do is really, truly damaged in a way you just can’t bring yourself to face.
