Oh, by the way…
The Editors and Sifu have returned. Go over and say “hey” when you get a chance.

Brad, not sure if you saw this.

Tig- thanks, but that’s fake Gary. Still creepy as hell though.

The Editors’ Doughberg parody kicked mucho culo, no?
so.

So Brad, is that a confirmation that there was once a real Gary?
Brad said,

Yes, I know real Gary’s real email address. That’s how I check to see who’s real and who isn’t.

There is no Gary. Gary is a concept – more adjective than noun. To describe Gary is to describe a color, or a melody. The more fake Garys there are, the more real Gary becomes.
We are all Gary. And yet, without Gary, we are all incomplete…
I hope that clears that up once and for all…

Have you ever met him in person? Do you know for a fact that his name is Gary?
This is a kettle of haddocks, and I’m fishing for answers.

So I just went over to the blog that this post links to, apparently run by “Sifu Tweety.” Little question – and no, I’m not trying to be funny or anything – is that an authentic website or a parody of a Goldberg supporter?

It is an authentic website parody of a Goldberg supporter.

“It is an authentic website parody of a Goldberg supporter.”
Uh, thanks?
You know, there really is a point where absurdism and parody become virtually indistinguishable. After reviewing several of the posts on the Sifu blog, it certainly struck me as a parody. The problem though is that if you juxtapose it against Jonah’s presumably very serious absurdism, it raises a host of questions. After all, someone out there is presumably buying and subscribing to Jonah’s absurdist arguments and if one were very passionate about Jonah’s effort such as it is, that person would almost inevitably come off exactly like the Sifu parody.

The Editors do have a new special Keyboard Kommandos book available in softcover or via download…in recognition of the Pantload Opus.

LibFaLo, it used to be called “The Poor Man Institute for Freedom, Democracy and a Pony.”

Tig: I was wondering about that thepoorman.net URL, that also suggested a parody.

The site is too well-written to be other than a parody. No one can imitate D’ohBoy’s early adolescent SniteWrite style, or would want to. No one can imitate D’ohBoy’s admirers (not even Gary/Booger/Saul) or would want to.

You’re probably right, but when your subject takes the full blown face-dive into teh stoopid, as Goldberg did; you make a parody of it at your own risk.

If you buy only one book this year called Liberal Fascism, make it Liberal Fascism: http://www.lulu.com/content/1811025

I tried to a Google cache of the old site, but it’s pretty limited. Alas! The Editors did multiple episodes of “Keyboard Kommando Komix,” which were mind-blowingly hilarious, and has now bundled them all for purchase. A Google search turns up a few panels here and there, which would give you a small sense of them.

Tig: Thanks for the background.

I don’t run the site, LibFaLo. I am merely a cob-logger.
Buy the book!

Yeah, so all I’ve been hearing around the InternetsTubes for the last coupla months is “Whatever happened to Poor Man?” and “When will The Editors return?”, always typed with that particular indignant librulfascistic whiny tone, you know? I never heard of ‘em before, but now that they’re “back,” I suppose I have to go check them out.
[goes to check them out]
Great. Another bookmark for my overburdened browser. Thanks. Thanks a lot, pal. And that is totally central to my point.

The Gary that can be talked about is not the Eternal Gary.

Looks like Fake Gary is trying to start another “War of Northern Aggression” by launching an attack against a peace loving people.
When, oh when, will we learn to stop causing wars by refusing to just fucking do what the conservatives tell us and making them commit treason and kill people? Why we always gotta make them hit us?
*back on topic* Which reminds me, I need to check The Sneeze….

If you go into a dark room, lit by a single candle, stand in front of a mirror, and say Gary Ruppert’s name 317 times, then he will appear and bore you to death with fake right wing schtick.

Yep, I bought the book, and I’m so happy to see the Editors and Sifu back among us.
And be sure to check out the Editors’ post on John Aravosis’ latest rich boy hissy fit. Doesn’t look like my linky will work, but scroll down to “Even Liberals are Sick of the Liberal Fascism.”

Sifu,
I’ve just sent you 1000 virgins made out of the most exquisite chocolate and italian deli meats for that comment. We’re all the Editor’s cob-loggers now.

In the ASS, Gary. This is what you get when you fuck a stranger up the ass, Gary.

Yeah, well, one time at a restaurant in Venice I was two tables away from Sara Gilbert, you know, the one who played Darlene on Roseanne? Yeah, her. And she said hello to me.
What?
