There are some things that humankind was not meant to know.
However, the results of our terrible experiment are forthcoming.

Norman Mailer is dead at age 84. Connection?

Mailer didn’t sully his body with harmful products such as Cheetos and Mountain Dew (yahoo!). He only consumed the pure substances found in booze and smokes.

I have to assume that the full impact of this study have not taken effect on Gaffyd yet. If he had become a Right Blogger, he would have found it impossible not to post thousands of one or two-sentence posts with links and a clever tag line.
Heh, indeed.

Studies have shown that Althouse has a desperate need for validation and acceptance but unfortunately doesn’t provide much on her blog that would achieve that. So her flock of eunuchs with their sycophantic comments will have to do.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, Michaelangelo is coming for lunch and I really must go put up some ‘quotes’ about how great I am on my blog header because the content alone won’t cut it.
Arrivederci.

Studies have shown that when you’re as desperate for validation and acceptance as a certain blogger appears to be, a flock of sycophantic eunuchs posting comments is a good substitute for the real thing.
Now, excuse me, I must display some ‘quotes’ about how fantastic I am on my blog header.
Let’s face it, the content alone won’t convey my wonderfulness to myself (and my handful of readers).

Great, it looks like we’ve got another agent provocateur responding to his or her own comments. Those who checked the link provided at 19:44, note the name of the person posting at that site. Note also the name of the person who brought up Althouse in this thread.

C’mon, it’s like tossing pebbles at the old lady’s windows, and she gets all pissed off and runs out on the porch, shaking her cane.
If the old lady just stayed in her rocking chair, nobody’d even bother tossing pebbles at her windows. What fun would that be?
Besides, if nobody tossed pebbles at Ann Althouse’s windows, she wouldn’t have anything to do.
And that would be just sad.

Not a sound from anywhere except the sound of the wind buffeting past your head and the infrequent, soft sound of scurrying somewhere near. Then a Twinkies wrapper flutters by…

kiki said,

She has a category for her posts called ‘Anti-Althousania’.
Exactly how far – in inches, say – does a person’s head have to be rammed up their own ass for them to come up with a generic term (capitalised, to boot) for people who don’t like them? Are there medical studies for this?
Anyone who doesn’t think this post is awesome is simply suffering from Anti-kiki-ism.
Marita said,
November 10, 2007 at 22:55
kiki, I think you mean “Anti-Kikiosis”. Clearlu anyone who doesn’t think your comment is awesome is suffering less from a problem with their beliefs, and more from a disorder of some sort.
Also, for your first question, my guess is 16. Anyone else care to make an estimate?
kiki said,
November 10, 2007 at 22:57
Indeed, I did notice the spectacularly cretinous ‘-ania’ affix, and its obvious implication.
Perhaps the head goes all the way back up the neck and passes into some kind of parallel dimension.

Doh! Both my comments were posted. I thought that because I’d used my real name, L Da V, it got caught in the spam filter so I used my pseudonym and reposted.
Now I look like a fool, which means all is well with the world.

That looks like a Mountain Dew can next to the bag. I would guess late 60s, early 70s.

I don’t recommend experimenting with Cheetos for longer than a few minutes, an hour at most. Should we be dialing 911?

Sorry for stepping in here, but Photoshopped Althouse porn is a bit much — especially with all the trolling that’s been going on lately, attempting to frame us for various things.
Will the unfamiliar person who’s posting the homemade porn links please not do that?

Can you guys follow the accepted practice with fake comments? Examples:

Pam Oshry –> http://ShriekingHarpy.org
It not only keeps things honest, but it’s a place where another joke can go!

All:
It’s been a tough week in terms of Freepers and other trolls coming over to plant nasty stuff in comments, so I apologize, but I’m being a bit vigilant in moderating things that even seem to rub up against the basic no-assholishness policy (see posted policy re: personal info, threats, and all that).
Althouse is having another of her hissies about people using her name. Our reply, every time she does this, includes the fact that anyone is allowed to use anyone’s name they want here, if it’s done as satire and not maliciously — e.g., not as a way to fool people into thinking that somebody is saying things that they’re not really saying.
She seems determined to misunderstand this, which is fine, but I think it’s a good idea to restate it here, so that any new people who come by will know how things customarily work, etc.
Just a note in passing. G-

Jeez, like anyone in the entire online world would complain about some poster using someone’s name in comments on some website.
Gav, apparently you should be cross-referencing all commenter data to be absolutely sure everyone is exactly who they claim to be. If the commenter’s IP info does not jibe with that of Ann’s website, then you have absolute evidence of fraud in the factum and are required to take action immediately or you shall be deemed unethical.
And if it really is Ann, and she posted the suspect comment while on her university’s system, do not worry, she will most certainly inform you when you have the gall to remove her comment. She keeps up on these little things, you see.
Anal-retentive, anyone? But now I realize that the word does not even begin to describe Ms. Althouse.
