Gavin, Don’t Eat It!
From comments this evening:
Rightwingsnarkle said,
November 5, 2007 at 7:33Snark fails me at times like these.
I’ll get it back, but I just don’t have any right now.
Bring on teh Cheetos.
Indeed, but how did he know?
We had decided that in order to beat the execrable PJ, we would need to make his powers our own. I volunteered to become as thoughtless, as single-minded as he, as lacking in self-reflection and personal honor, as feckless and as immune to shame. I would howl mindlessly, fungally in the frigid vastness of space, chanting noisome hymns to my mad, deaf idiot-king, and gibbering streams of imprecations unto the planet called Earth.
I volunteered to eat of their lotus and become a wingnut.
I could not have foreseen the soul-twisting horrors that inhabited neither the up nor down, neither the left nor right, but the spaces in-between of the right-blogosphere. But the first problem was a procedural one. Which kind do they use?
Above: The old-school-inspired, yet perhaps not totally authentic Cheez-Doodley kind
Above: What I imagined to be the ‘original’ crunchy kind.
To this end, I procured one of each.
[CONTINUED IN PART II]
‘Don’t Eat It’ concept created by Steven at The Sneeze.

There IS no other kind of Cheeto except original Crunchy.

I’d recommend asking the Pantload. He probably even knows the best vintage Cheetos. Or which type goes with which diet soda.

I just want to pop back in and say that “Steve, Don’t Eat It” is the goddamn funniest and most disgusting thing I’ve read in weeks.

I never thought the Weblog Awards could provide any entertainment at all….much less a masterpiece like this. Thanks Wizbang! Your wingnut pals really know how to pull out all the stops!

Something’s going on at the Weblog Awards site, too.
Slow. As. Shit. (The constipated kind.)
My guess is that it’s either getting DoS’d or someone tried to run some automated voting.
Auguste said,
November 5, 2007 at 14:09
I haven’t checked the old thread, because frankly I don’t wanna, so this may have been discussed, possibly even ad nauseum…
…but Gavin’s ominous foreshadowing of all this was being used as evidence that the left blogosphere was readying some underhanded, despicable, possibly even dangerous tactics in order to win this award. A clearer case of projection one would be hard pressed to imagine.
kiki said,
November 5, 2007 at 14:12
Has anyone noticed that he sometimes refers to his site as DUFUs?
“Dufus”. Hee hee. Only 66.6% accurate, however, as the dictionary.com definition is “incompetent and stupid, though well-meaning”.

kiki said,
November 5, 2007 at 15:25
Hey now, although I’m a Nik-Naks sort of a fella, I don’t mean to deride the processed, maize-based goodness of Wotsits. I’m just pointing out that, judging from the packaging shown above, they would appear to be the exact UK equivalents of the “crunchy” and “puffed” varieties of everyone’s favourite wingnut grunthole-filler.
When they trim the trees on my street every year, they look exactly like giant Nik-Naks. It’s very surreal.
gbear said,
November 5, 2007 at 16:02
Definitely go with the Crunchy. Uncrunchy Cheetos are like sucking air. Don’t touch you clothing or everyone will know what you’ve been doing.

Yay, international cultural exchange!
In Slovakia, we eat chrumky.
Despondant Cantabridgian said,
November 5, 2007 at 16:10
Chrumky looks like it might have some sort of nutritional value, which is cheating. If there is a single ingredient that has not been bleached, colored, chemically modified, artificially replicated, of hydrogenated, it is unsuitable for wingnut consumption.
Cangrejero said,
November 5, 2007 at 16:26
I worked at a convenience store when I was an undergrad in red-state Raleigh, NC. My coworker and I conducted a survey of the area’s Cheeto preference. The results of this absudly unscientific poll from a decade ago suggest that red-state residents prefer the puffs.

Is there any DOUBT that right now the DUmmie FUnnies have become the PREMIER conservative Humor Blog? What other one in that category is even CLOSE in terms of notoriety?
BTW, I wrote “Humor” since there are a ton of great Conservative blogs such as NewsBusters and Michelle Malkin’s blog.

Cheetos? Pfaugh, don’t make me laugh. Go eat some Saltidos and I’ll get back to you.

I prefer the crunchy kind. However, I’ve weaned myself from a Cheetos addiction that occurred when I used to pack my kid’s lunch and bought the large boxes of assorted bagged snacks – kid didn’t like Cheetos, so I ate them.
It’s been probably 7 years since a Cheeto has passed my lips.
a different mikey said,
November 5, 2007 at 17:18
Steve don’t Eat It almost finished me off. I laughed. I cried. I almost hurled. Now that’s a humor blog, DUFUs should take notice.
Aside: I’ve eaten four of those things he describes. Huitlacoche can be great. Pickled pig skin can not.

My father-in-law used to eat Cheetos every day at work – almost a bag a day. He went on vacation for two weeks and didn’t eat any Cheetos the entire time. He lost 10 pounds in two weeks.

Sparkle’s right, Gavin. Nobody comes back from the Dark Side.
If we can’t defeat the Evil without becoming evil ourselves, it’s not worth winning.

Hoosier X said,

I’m sure DUFU is the premier conservative Humor Blog in the way that Mallard Fillmore is the conservative Doonesbury and (something else really lame that’s conservative) is the conservative (something else really good that isn’t conserative).
Remember. They talk in code.”Far left” is anyone who can see through their delusions. “Unhinged” is anyone who says anything about how delusional they are. “Shrill is a synonym for “unhinged.” “Activist judge” is any judge who makes a decision they disagree with. Democrat, socialist, anarchist, fascist, radical, communist, Muslim, homosexual, illegal imigrant, Mexican, activist, and pacifist are all synonyms.
It is a terrible way to live. So far, medical science has been unable to find a cure. But scientists are working hard to find an antidote to this horrible condition. And brave law enforcement officers are valiantly on guard, trying to stop the trafficking in stupid pills that turn an honest, decent, rational human being into a conservative.
Please give generously to fight this debilitating disease known as Conservative Brain Shutdown Syndrome. Some day, with your help, conservatives will be smart enough to mingle in normal society without being laughed at.

I can’t wait to see what they come up with as a conservative Hollywood.

The whole trend of conservative self-segregation does remind me of going into the aisle at the grocery store where they keep the diabetic-friendly stuff.

I just voted for Ace of Spades as the best conservative blog just to give Michelle Malkin a proverbial kick in the ****.
I urge everyone to do the same. A win for Ace could be a beautiful thing.
(There is no serious conservative alternative. )
Does anyone outside the wankosphere even care about the Weblog Awards?
Marita said,

(There is no serious conservative alternative. )
Balloon Juice had been nominated in the Best Conservative Blog category, but then they figured out they were only able to do 10 blogs in their polls, so he got booted to the “Best of the top 250″ category. Crying shame, really. Balloon Juice winning that award would have been like the best thing ever.

I think you answered your own question there, but given the begging for votes he’s been doing over at Free Republic, I’m guessing mostly freepers. Also possibly receptionists in random office buildings who have clicked the button when he accosted them, out of fear that he was armed.

He’s been trying to be a finalist for a few years, apparently. If you look at the forums over at the weblog awards, he’s been inquiring about the opening of nominations since the spring. So I guess the answer is: shameless begging.

And let’s not forget, the rest of the world gets Cheetos in various flavors. Chili & lime in Mexico. Masala balls in India. Hot dog flavored cheetos in Peru. And cheese & bacon in Australia. There’s a whole cheetos universe for us keyboardists to explore.
tritonesub said,
November 5, 2007 at 20:30
Meijer makes some white cheetos. Not white cheddar exactly just white. And the flavor! It’s that kind of delicious flavor that doesn’t show its true petroleum distillate underpinnings until after half the bag is gone. By then it’s too late.

To defeat the wingnuts, we must develop the Ultimate Weapon. It is not an engine of destruction, but of distraction: an item so irresistibly seductive to their sensibilities that it will consume all their time, leaving them unable to type.

Dude, whose been chanting noisome hymns up in here? You should light a match.
My research facility, Anecdotal Labs, has done some preliminary research which shows that the extreme MSG content of the cheese-dusted corn treat can bring on a terrible mood, something like road rage in a Mad Max movie. Also, a huge headache, if not a migraine. We may have located a vital clue into the psyche of the screed-writing conservative. Be very careful, Gavin!

Call me old school, but if I was looking for a gastronomic entree to the wingnut world, I’d go with a pack of Nabs (peanut butter variety) and a bottle of Orange Crush.
Alas, peanut butter Nabs are long gone, but you can approximate the effect by putting a bit of super-cheap peanut butter (heavy on the hydrogenated oils) between two Cheez-Its. Ya gotta make up about 20 of the little fuckers.
Orange Crush is still widely available, though as any old fart will tell you, “It just ain’t the same.”
As for teh Cheetos, I think Gavin’s snacking is like the greasing up by Al Swearingen’s Dan – just teh prelude to his confrontation with the Captain – evil meets worse evil, and prevails.

SN has to win for PJ’s sake. If he wins, he’s through. People might actually read his blahhhg and find out there’s nothing of substance. If he loses, then he doesn’t even have to post anymore. People will go to the site solely to stand up for the latest victim of the evil left. Instead of trying to comprehend the concept of “funny”, he can stick with “If you don’t like my blog, you’re a commie”.

If you have to, if you must partake of cheese-y corn product, why not SmartFood? It’s made from corn, it is in fact cheese-y.
It was created in a blue state! Marlborough, MA, if you must know, or at least that’s what it says in Wiki-pedia.
And the inventors are the same people who presently make Annie’s mac and cheese and other sensible foods!
Please!
Legalize said,
November 5, 2007 at 23:07
The only way to fully enter wingnutistan is to partake of the nector of teh wingnuts. Smart Food shall not suffice. Hell, the name of the product is a dead give away! Moreover, while Annie’s mac and cheese is delicious and healthy, a true wingnut would not be caught dead in the same room with it. Cheetos simply are the only way to go. Dangerous? Very. Essential? Unfortunately.

It’s not the Cheetos, per se. It’s the dust. The sticky, salty dust that coats each cheeto. Without the dust, the cheeto is no more than a simple curl of styrofoam. With the dust, the cheeto becomes the very body of Reagan.
As in Dune, the cheeto dust is the melange … the spice that comes from the great Shai-hulud found in, um, seedy public toilets. There is a mysterious relationship between the cheeto dust and the throbbing tumescent worm.

Some portion of those Cheetohs will be cells in your body for somewhere around a decade.

BTW- I think someone else said this, but why do the Wingnut websites look, smell, and taste like ass? (Well, at least ‘look’ and ’smell’. I’m not even going near ‘taste’).
I thought I got some kind of crossed connection when I went to the free republic site. You know, when the site doesn’t load right and you just get a screwed up, amatuerish looking pile of dung.
I experienced a similar feeling when I went to Drudge.

How do you tell your mansion’s gay? Does it hit on other large buildings?

It wears a suit, loves Bush and his Iraqle, and supports traditional family values. Other clues include meth and visits by male hookers.

Hey Innocent Bystander: I really don’t want to get an account over there to post one thing. I don’t suppose you (or anyone else who comments there) would go to this post: Sadly, No! winning through cheating and point out that he’s quoting something from last spring (which had two comments, both of which called the practice unethical) rather than something current. And that, I dunno, the huge rise in vote totals might actually be from the front page Kos link, since we all follow along with whatever Kos says.
It’s just currently going a bit unchallenged, and that makes me sad, or annoyed, or one of those other frowny emotions.

One of our cats was a Cheetos lover. Gunther was a plump, pear-shaped, self-pitying fella whose dark-grey-and-white coloring wasn’t “tuxedo” so much as “torn tank top, dirty work gloves, and sweat socks with a hole in the heel.” His happiest moments were when we’d give him a half-full snack-sized Cheetos sack of his very own; he’d slouch on his spine in the corner of the couch, his tail sticking out from between his slack thighs, the bag balanced on his belly, and purr blissfully as he supported himself on one elbow and dug for the precious curls with the other paw. Since we’d acquired him along with a swivel-hipped, sultry-eyed, husky-voiced Maine Coon occasionally known as Elvis, Gunther inevitably was nicknamed The Roadie.

Gavin,
I know the prevailing wisdom is that Cheetos are the wingnuts muse, however my clandestine operatives have informed me that the thing that drives wingnuttery is in fact Planters Cheese Balls. Balls, balls, balls, balls…sure a dildo shaped Cheeto Puff will do in a pinch and if your sphincter is sore a crunchy Cheeto is welcomed in Wingnutland. However…Balls. Don’t let them fool you about Planters Cheese Balls being discontinued. They have a cadre of minions that enjoy the cheesy dust of a corporate bed of whoredom. The keys to the Wingdom include Relax. Go Balls! and Planters is the word for (good) Balls.
Good luck.

Gavin, before you continue in your current course of action, you should be aware that your suspicious language has brought forth an earnest allegation of “flim-flammery” against you:
The DUmmie who posted that thread the other day hinted strongly in his opening comments that he was going to perpetrate some kind of flim-flammery on the vote.

“It is by ignorance alone I set my mouth in motion. It is by the Dust of Cheeto that blogs accrue screeds, the keys acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by ignorance alone I set my mouth in motion.”
Perfect. I was going to do the same thing but couldn’t remember the proper mantra, and the ideas I had weren’t as good.
“…set my mouth in motion”… “the keys acquire stains”… genius.

You know those balls you can get for dispensing dog biscuits? The ones that you fill with the kibble, and only a few at a time fall out through the hole on one side, so the dog has to keep rolling it across the floor and gets some exercise as well as not eating the whole meal on one sitting? Just wondering whether they sell them for dispensing cheesy snacks as well.

I particularly loved the Prison Wine segment of Steve Don’t Eat It!
Went to a beer tasting the other week. Nine different IPAs and APAs, happy happy. Last beer of the night was Burton Bridge Old Empire IPA.
“Ah,” I sez, “the delicate bouquet of prison wine!” Other people started edging away. Don’t know why.

“Mentard” … roflcopter
The basement dwellers in their wetsuits use the Cheeto dust as a sacrament.
It has the effect of turning their underpants yellow.
kiki said,
November 6, 2007 at 16:19
Of course, the mentat analogy is flawed as it was not the spice that gave the mentats their cognitive powers (as here we are saying that the mystical Cheeto dust endows the mentard with his superhuman ability to deny reality, whine about people doing the exact same thing he did first, and generally be an asshole). The actual mantra mentions the “juice of sapho”, which sounds, um, hot.
Perhaps it should be “It is by the Dew of Mountain that the lips acquire stains”.
