Jawa Dropping

Comrade Vinnieovich, The Jawa Report:
Jawa Exclusive: Capture Of Mullah Omar Confirmed *sticky*

Yeah, no doubt. Keep your door closed, eh?

An overseas intelligence source has confirmed to the Jawa Report that Mullah Omar has been captured as originally reported by Brad Thor.

If this doesn’t pan out, our post title will probably be ‘Thor Loser.’ I’m just saying.

You can wait for the New York Times to catch up if you’d like, we don’t mind.

If someone handed these guys a scoop, they’re going to bray and howl that they bested the Times, neglecting to mention that the Times, whatever its faults, actually checks out sources and reports stories from the ground up, rather than being handed a scoop and uncritically yelling “whoopee” every couple of years or so.

Can we go through that again, or should we just walk around in diving suits for the next few days, in pantomime slow motion as though undersea?

Cf. Brad Thor.

WorldNetDaily considers Thor to be some sort of cross between Salman Rushdie and Dan Brown. I blogged him here.

Gav – c’mon, checking sources is for wimps. Teh Jawa Report just calls it from the gut, like here where they learned the Times Square Dud was being tracked on Twitter. From reporting by Andy Borowitz.

 
 

Hey I heard some ayatollah dude in Iran just died too.

UPDATE: Uh, is close to death’s door, I mean.

UPDATEx3: The fact that Omar hasn’t in fact been captured as reported by [mumble mumble] proves that Obama is a Islamoterrorist.

 
 

I’ll be over here holding my breath until The NYT catches up.

Is this what Breitbart meant when he said he’d “destroy the institutional left?”

‘Cause it looks more like he’s destroying his own Big Institution. Soon enough he’ll be in an institution, if any of his friends like him enough to perform an intervention.

 
 

Wouldn’t that be “Thor loother?”

 
 

That’d be ‘Thor looser’*

 
passionately wrong footed
 

Everything proves that Obama is an Islamoterrorist. Except the fact that islamoterrorism doesn’t exist, and if it did, Obama would not be a member of such and such by and so per se. BUT IF IT DID /scary ellipses…

I think Ben Smith at hte Politico has been hanging around hte bloggers 2 much.

 
 

Jawa Report. That reminds me, next time I send the troopers out to bring back a couple droids, I’m giving them photos. Sure that Alec Guiness fellow was very persuasive but I mean really – it’s not like it was a shoddy description:
“R2 astromech unit with blue trim. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and hoverjets disabled. Protocol droid in gold trim with defective back servo that causes it to spastically lean backwards for no apparent reason.”

I thought it kept leaning back because it was presenting, hoping Chewbacca would mount it.

I’m sure the photo isn’t suspicious at all.

I’m also sure that Wall Street Journal spokeswoman Ashley Huston and Deputy Managing Editor Alan Murray are raging baby-fuckers.

 
 

Are them Jawas sure they got the right Mullah Omar this time? Maybe it was just Mullah Omar’s number three guy.

I dunno though, this article probably means there’s a conspiracy to keep it out of the news.

 
 

I thought it kept leaning back because it was presenting, hoping Chewbacca would mount it.

Rule 34 alert!

 
TruculentandUnreliable
 

God, it must take so much *energy* to be that racist. And to have such an ugly fucking website. Also, too.

 
 

What’s with the secrecy? If Mullah Omar was actually captured, why are they not naming sources for the confirmation?

Why are they not, in other words, reporting news?

 
 

I have unconfirmed reports that teh United States of America is now a 100%, fully-unfunctional Socialist State. This comes in the wake of a large boat with bikini-clad wimmins skiing behind it. While the Esteemed Esteev Daily tries not-so hard to confirm unconfirmed reports, we will be on top* of this story throughout the afternoon nap.

From my imagined source, Trig is actually a baby genius and solved the worlds energy crisis by perfecting cold fusion. In effort to suppress this amazing discovery, Big Oil has paid the Palins to paint him as retarded (totes satire). Also, he’s black and they have painted him white.

I’ve confirmed that with my sources in the Bilderberg Family!

Good, because yeah, I wouldn’t trust you and your “oh some really totally trustworthy foreign spy dude told us it was true so CONFIRMED!” on a stack of Bibles.

Because clearly Omar would be released in the interval between such an eye-popping headline on a shitty unreliable blog and the, ohhhhhhhhhhhh, instant it would take to confirm it.

 
 

They’re creepy

It was Emmett Fitz-Hume, wasn’t it? Oh no. I’ve Plame’d him!

 
 

I’m dumb and keep forgetting.

Say, have I shown you my etchings?

 
 

Not to worry! A search of teh Grey Lady (not a veiled frisking your mom reference) indicates that they have already dispatched their most feared weapon to cover Mullah Omar. Ladies and Gents, I give to you Maureen Dowd.

Very soon, al Qaeda will no longer be an existential threat because MoDo will point out that their leaders wear dresses and are very girly!

 
 

No one is confirming anything at all, but I am told there are some pretty unenthusiastic denials making their way through the special forces world.

Sure, they’re denying it but they’re denying it UNENTHUSIASTICALLY which means it MUST BE TRUE!

If it is true, more power to them but this should not meet ANYONE’S standards for evidence.

 
 

I give to you Maureen Dowd.

Everybody here lies.

What an awful lead. Or it could be the only legitimate thing MoDo has ever written.

Why is she so fucking TWEE? UGH. It makes my head hurt.

 
 

I am told there are some pretty unenthusiastic denials making their way through the special forces world.

Most sane people would take this to mean, “damn, just missed him.”

Anyway, I wonder why Jawa is all shivery about this story? Because they’re “breaking” it….breaking news needs to be fixed, silly little boy…or because Barack Obama has brought one of the masterminds of 9/11 to justice?

In Cenk Uygur post which makes an very interesting proposal. Unfortunately it also contains this line:

Jessica Simpson’s charms aside, I’d like to point out that if I could blow myself up, I wouldn’t need to sleep with Jessica Simpson. Uhh – totes heterosexually of course.

I’m not crazy about Cenk’s mangoes, but is he suggesting that a way to win the war on terror is to release the crack sin?

I can picture it now: paratroop Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Tara Reid, Britney Spears and any of the Jersey Shore girls behind enemy lines to blow their troops?

Up, I mean?

 
 

troops

They aren’t troops, actor. They are “enemy combatants” or “brown people”. Please, we don’t ask for it often but a bit of accuracy would be appreciated.

 
 

Speaking of Jawa Droppings:

If someone handed these guys a scoop…

That’s some pretty extreme optimism you got there Gav. I expect that they’d probably use it to fling teh POOP with greater force.

 
 

Fuck this war, it’s so fucking depressing. I can’t think about it any more.

Hey, can anyone help me? I’m looking for some Star Trek: 2009 fanfic from last fall which I never finished. The setup is that Spock and Stonn are friends with benefits except that Spock is trying to find a way to dump Stonn because he has this nagging feeling that Stonn doesn’t really respect him. However, he’s gone into pon farr and much as he likes Uhura, he doesn’t want to end up accidentally married to her, so he’s hoping he can get Stonn to help him with his little problem before he blocks his calls for good. In the mean time, Uhura has no idea what he’s going through and keeps breaking their dates for stupid shit like “lunch” and “studying,” and, lastly and to his annoyance, he keeps running into that stupid cadet Kirk who wants to retake the Kobayashi Maru test.

For some reason, it’s killing me not to know how this story ended. (Actually, I’m pretty sure it ends with Spock choking Kirk on the bridge of the Enterprise, but it’s about the journey, not the destination, yadda yadda.)

PS: LAND WAR IN ASIA. The American people ARE the weakest link. It’s official.

According to the movies, which are my first source for everything, “brown people” is an internet euphemism for sand c**ns. So, you know, accuracy.

 
 

…but is he suggesting that a way to win the war on terror is to release the crack sin?

Yes.

I have a better plan. Porn. Jessica Simpson. And the internet. Let our culture do the dirty work. It is wonderfully corrosive and ultimately irresistible.

IOW, one of these.

I hope you don’t mean me, personally, because I’m going to have to disappoint you by telling you that I have never, in my life, read fanfic of any kind. Can I still keep my nerd credentials?

 
 

Maureen Dowd is one of those people of whom it can be fairly said that their entire life’s work was an elaborate scheme to secure for themselves a supply of oral sex.

If by “trogs” you mean unrepentant rich kids with too much time on their hands that they decide to “dabble in politics” until they run over a family of four during a month-long drinking and pill bindge, then yes.

Jupiter’s Liberals Worried About Their Ammonia Footprint

May 12, 2010 | ISSUE 46•19

GREAT RED SPOT, JUPITER—Alarmed by the growing quantities of harmful nitrides in their planet’s atmosphere, Jupiter’s liberals are encouraging their fellow sentient ammonia-helium tornado beings to take measures to reduce their ammonia footprint.

“There are little things all of us can do to minimize our negative impact on our climate,” thought-pulsed a spokesman for the progressive advocacy group Jupiter Action Coalition. “Buy your gleemie at a local farmers market, unplug your zorksnax when you’re not using them, and remember the three Rs of environmental conservation: ryzzengak, rokklegorkensplark, and recycle.”

Jovian conservatives, however, are reportedly decrying the ammonia reduction efforts as a waste of time, pointing to the fact that this past winter was a typical minus 135 degrees Celsius and that Jupiter’s so-called “climate change” is just a myth.

It’s been so long since I played that I can’t even remember how I held the bat. But yeah, generally in softball you do choke up on the bat a bit because the ball is heavy – if you hold the bat all the way at the end you can get some wobble in the bat on contact which totally fucks up your hit. I was generally a good hitter – consistently to right outfield, which in girls’ slow-pitch is about the best place to put it, beause they always put the worst players in right field. I put my hitting prowess down to having a slow bat – I never could get around with the swing soon enough to put the ball in center or left field.

** though I have curled I have never been hit in the face with a curling stone, but then, It’s not really a ball either

 
 

I found that out the hard way¹ when I was playing co-ed softball and whipped a relay on a double play right into my girlfriend’s boob.

uh… Swedish heart massage?

 
 

FWIW, I sometimes played thirds, sometimes played behind the base*, which in girls’ slow-pitch is where they put the second-worst fielder. I was really good at crowding the batter and cramping their style. I only got hit by the swing a couple of times.

*Note pre-meditated failure to provide you with hours of puerile “catcher” jokes and puns.

Got hit in face with soccer balls and basketballs too, they stung (sometimes you hit the soccer ball on purpose, anyway) but they never shook my teeth loose. I think it’s something to do with impulse.

I was the practice dummy goalie for my ice hockey team. Balls? BAH! Try a puck.

I let my competitive nature get in the way of a pretty decent blow job. I’m not proud.

 
 

Yeah, I’d say that getting hit by the baseball was the worst, but I imagine it would only be a shadow of what getting beaned by a hockey puck would feel like.

 
 

because they always put the worst players in right field.

I caught a baseball in the face playing first base. A liner hit me square in the kisser knocking out 2 teeth. I also needed 30 stitches to close my lip. I was a lot tougher when I was 15.

What about her WIDE STANCE!?!?!?!?!?!

Looking at it some more, that stance ain’t that wide. Sure everyone hears about “shoulder-width apart” but even as, ahem, stout as Kagan is – girls aren’t shaped like guys. Her shoulders are narrower and her hips wider. That foot position is going to help her lower half come around faster.

She’s leaning into the plate an awful lot though. And not wearing a helmet. Maybe it’s slow pitch.

t I imagine it would only be a shadow of what getting beaned by a hockey puck would feel like.

This is undeniably true. I took a slap shot off my ankle and it shattered it. Titanium pins are the coooolest!

 
 

Will it simply not print? Do you get an error message? Is it printing only a fraction of the chart? what specifically is it doing or not doing?

 
 

I used to take calculus 2 first period with a girl who would come to class straight from her 6AM hockey practices. She scared me (although she was half-Japanese and extremely good looking… also she shared her yama no ko with me once*).

It will print, but it’s tiny. So I adjusted the size and put it in landscape, and then when I print it, it’s just a blank page. I tried to save it as an HTML file, but it was blank when I saved it.

David Horowitz goes to UCSB for a talk. When the floor is opened for questions, a member of the Muslim Students Association asks Horowitz about some “literature” of his. I take it to mean that one of his sleazy “Discover the Network” type things was distributed, because she’s asking him why it stated that MSA, which (according to her) receives no outside funding, was sponsored by Hitler Admirers Club or some such thing.

Horowitz doesn’t answer, and instead demands she condemn Hamas. She sort of inarftully dodges the question, and says it has nothing to do with what she asked. Horowitz then rambles at length to produce a “when are you going to stop beating you wife?” question about whether she supports Israel (so’s you can kill all the Jews in one place)? Then he calls her a terrorist because she’s wearing one of those Dunkin Donuts scarves and won’t answer her question.

National Review thinks this shows Horowitz to be some sort of genius.

That’s kind of what happened there, PLUS a big influx of illegal immigrants. It’s been a few years since I’ve read it, and IIRC, the townspeople certainly weren’t innocent, but the Hasidim were absolutely unwilling to make any concessions to integrate into the community they were living in.

Jane Hamsher, the publisher of the liberal blog FireDogLake, said that many bloggers like Mr. Erickson test rhetorical limits, but “that’s no reason to keep him off the air.” Ms. Hamsher said she would rather debate Mr. Erickson, whom she called an “honest broker,” than an opponent reciting prescribed talking points.

A Wal-Mart superstore that was put in my community a few years ago was opposed by pretty much everyone who would be near it. Basically, they said to us, “You can do this the hard way or the easy way.” So, they are in the middle of a neighborhood with two schools and a church, but at least they paid for the infrastructure and updated the roads around them. They would have just plopped down on the land and left us to pray that kids wouldn’t be run over as the zombie hordes came there to buy cheap shit from China in their gas guzzlers. As it is, they’re in a “tax abatement district,” which means that they charge a higher sales tax rate, and that tax money goes directly to them to make repairs in their parking lot and other updates that, you know, they SHOULD FUCKING PAY FOR.

Fun fact*: Kansans refer to the part of the Arkansas River that runs through Kansas as the “Ar-Kansas River.” However, the part that runs through Arkansas is pronounced “Arkansaw.”

The womanliest woman I’ve ever met is built like the pre-implant Gisele: tall, lean, muscular. It’s really not physical.

I agree with T&U about the difference from age. Some comedian in the 70s had a routine about this. You think about the girl you knew in junior high who developed first and you think “If only I knew then what I know now…” but if you did have that knowledge you’d be saying “Never mind these girls, I want a WOMAN.”

It’s not like we’re South Carolina, for chrissakes.

As a Missourian, I’ve taken my fair share of shots at Arkansas over the years, including on this very site. Whether or not I continue is contingent on whether or not The Mrs and I have a good time in Eureka Springs next week.

It should be noted that Florida is the only state in the country with it’s own tag on Fark. So not only does every other state have that going for ’em, but maybe every state-based cheap shot should be aimed there first—the place is so damn full of Teh Stoopid it’s a wonder it doesn’t sink into the Gulf and/or Atlantic.

You’re talking to E$ now and E$ only plays in the big leauges, not the bush leagues, yo. Call Yglesias.”

But if this thing pans out Rahm thinks maybe I should give them a chance, start winning over the hearts and minds, ya know? I’d have to take a look at compensation packages, wardrobe budgets and whatnot but at the end of the day E$ gotta get paid. I mean shit, the family trust gotta run out someday, ya know?

All I have to say is that I was far too excited when I learned that Paul F. Tompkins and I have the same birthday.

On the same note, and just so I don’t feel like a totally shallow douche, I have to say that while I tend to find people whom I wouldn’t break in half and are super-femme or super-rugged or super-androgynous attractive, pretty much any funny/smart/interesting person can be sexy to me. Especially if they’re kind of bookish-looking. Hence my love for Rachel Maddow, John Hodgman, and Colin Meloy. And E$, of course. (Okay, that’s a total lie).

 
 

Yeah, I find that smartness and cleverness work as aphrodisiacs for me. I mean, David Cross isn’t exactly a GQ model, but I would hit that so enthusiastically.

TruculentandUnreliable
 

Okay, OKAY! I apologize for unjustly characterizing Denzel. I take it back!

 
 

Actually, reading that transcript of the Couric interview that set off the whole “Denzel is Republican” bullshit, it seems to me that he’s more firmly in Louis Farrakhan’s camp than anything else. He talks about not needing to see F9-11 because he’s an American, the descendant of slaves.

Meaning F9-11 isn’t going to teach him anything he doesn’t know about how the system here works. He sounds more pissed off at America than Michael Moore.

Couric: “And how do you feel about the current political situation?”

Washington: “You know, I haven’t seen ‘Fahrenheit 9/11,’ because I live in America. I grew up here. I’m an ex-slave. I’m a result of what this country can do. So it’s nothing knew to me. I’m not surprised at all. It’s just business as usual. What I want to talk about is, what are we doing right now, today, for these young kids that are coming home? Are we embracing them? I don’t hear about them being lifted up. I mean, I’m not just talking about a parade but—”

Couric: “Are they getting the support they need.”

Washington: “Are they getting the support and love they need from us? And maybe that story’s being told, but I sure haven’t seen it that much in the news. Yeah, they’re pointing fingers about who was right and whose wrong and who started what and where the weapons of mass destruction. But these kids are coming home.”

Streep: “Uh-huh.”

Washington: “You know, I have a son, 19, 19-year-olds are coming home completely different.”

That seems to be only way to read it, Actor. He already knows how real life works. Only those that believe the American public mythos reflects reality would learn anything watching F9-11.

If it is Couric saying he’s a Republican, well, Katie Couric is a moran.

 
 

Yeah, that’s just what we need – another national network to make us dumber.

I think Rush and Fox have pretty well mined out the stupidium deposits. The network may do well, but it’s the same pool of viewers.

Hell, I believe that if all the nursing homes where they leave Fox on the hell of it would turn it off, the network’s ratings would drop 20% across the board, easy.

Hell, I believe that if all the nursing homes where they leave Fox on the hell of it would turn it off, the network’s ratings would drop 20% across the board, easy.

My teams Sasquatch hunting expedition is set for mid June, so I will keep you posted. My own personal theory on the identification of Sasquatch, is that the species comprises a relict population of gigantopithecus blacki. This giant ape from the Pleistocene, believed by many paleontologists to have been bipedal, has a maximum adult height of over 10 feet and weighed upwards of 1200lbs, matching general descriptions of the Sasquatch.

It is also now believed that the gigantopithecus was an omnivore thus corresponding to reported Sasquatch behavior of the animals eating plant matter and also actively hunting prey.

And while we are talking about the subject, I have never had much luck with women, unfortunately. I was the only one of my friends without a girlfriend in high school. Lol. But think of the bright side, I had more time during my younger years to hunt cryptids.

Yes I was a cryptozoology nerd back then. But we would explore the swamplands of Southern Illinois, investigation reports of ape-like creatures in the dense-woodlands surrounding the swamps.

You are right in stating Southeast Asia as a likely habitat for gigantopithecus, considering giganto fossils have been found there and no where else. However, the reason gigantopithecus fossils haven’t been found in North America is really quite simple, no one has been searching for them.

It is highly likely, indeed probable, that gigantopithecus crossed the land-bridge in the Bering Straight during the last Ice age. If gigantopithecus was a nomadic hunter, as Sasquatch is believed to be, then most likely gigantopithecus followed prey species across the Bering Straight when that region connected Asia to North America.

 
Josh St Lawrence
 

In my opinion, as is the opinion of many if not most cryptozoologists, the Yeti is one and the same species as Sasquatch, or perhaps a geographically distinct sub-species. The both share the same general description: large, bipedal primate, 6-10 feet in height, prominent sagital crest, hair covered expect on the face and chest area.

In fact their are many unknown hominids reported from every inhabited continent on earth going back many centuries.

 
 

Josh, there’s a liiiiiittle problem with Sasquatch/Yeti/Nessie theories…

 
 

Josh, the only problem with your Giganto theory is that the Sasquatch footprints discovered, such as they are, all point to a hominid. There wouldn’t be nearly enough time for an ape to develop flat feet in the 50,000 years since the land bridge last existed.

Since Gigan died out only 300,000 years ago, even that’s not anywhere near enough time for evolution to work its magic. Now factor in that the earliest hominids known to man are only 2.5 million years old, and you begin to see how unlikely it is that Gigan is Sasquatch.

 
 

Because being figurative makes it difficult to get drunk, unless you want someone to drink you.

I mean, Josh, I’m on your side, even if I tease you a bit. Of all the cryptozoological myths out there, Sasquatch is in my opinion the most likely of the bunch.

After the giant killer squid but we’ve nearly proven its existence, I mean.

There’s enough credible eyewitness testimony out there that I won’t dismiss the creatures out of hand. It would be silly. That doesn’t mean I believe it exists, just that I wouldn’t be surprised if one day someone really did find one and bring it back to civlization.

But I’d still want to have scientists take a close look at the evidence when provided.

 
 

…the Yeti is one and the same species as Sasquatch, or perhaps a geographically distinct sub-species.

I agree, but using terminology local to the investigation theatre just makes sense. So, am I understanding correctly that the expedition is to somewhere in the US Pacific North West or Canadian West Coast?

I agree that the fact that no gigantopithecus fossils being found does not mean that there are none to be found – but it’s an interesting approach to be targetting an area that seems less likely for your quarry (as compared with Tibet, Nepal or possibly Bhutan the Thunder Dragon).

 
 

Josh, I’ve lived here all my life. North Central Washington is ground zero for Sasquatch hunters. In my 40 years, I’ve seen every bit of evidence debunked, and hundreds of expeditions come up empty handed. Your time might be better served hunting the Chupacabra–at least they live out in the open where they can be seen…

 
 

How can anyone take Josh St. Lawrence seriously when he thinks that the Montauk Monster was just a dead dog? The man knows nothing of cryptozoology.

By the way, tsam, my g-g-grandparents on that side of the family settled at Steptoe Butte (yes, that’s a real name, shut up!). My granddad moved into Pullman and ran the first bus line for the town. My dad went to Annapolis for two years, then had to move home to help with the business during the Depression (I’m the last of six. My mom really is 94. Dad’s gone.).

My mom’s family came across the country overland. Not exactly sure when but she tells the story of her grandma describing the trek: “Yes, I came across in a wagon train and I walked every goddamn step of the way!” Her family had a farm outside Pullman (her brother still lives in the homestead and runs the farm).

So yeah, native.

Also, too, my daughter participated in Thrill the World this year. She also (too) makes an impressive shambler.

By the way, tsam, my g-g-grandparents on that side of the family settled at Steptoe Butte (yes, that’s a real name, shut up!). My granddad moved into Pullman and ran the first bus line for the town. My dad went to Annapolis for two years, then had to move home to help with the business during the Depression (I’m the last of six. My mom really is 94. Dad’s gone.).

Wow–I know right where Steptoe Butte is. I used to hunt pheasant down there quite often. It’s a good sized butte sticking out of what looks like a Kansas field that stretches for miles. There’s an interesting story to how Steptoe Butte got it’s name–Colonel Steptoe

The oral history is that as this detachment retreated, they were slowed by artillery equipment, and ended up burying much of it. It is thought that there are still buried cannons out on those plains. How cool would it be to find one of those? I could put it on the deck of my apartment. Small world, huh?

heh heh heh…you said “butt”…heh heh heh.

 
 

Well it’s no White Butte, MT but it’s the next best thing, especially at closing time.

Hello, 699!

 
 

Hey, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here

700! FTW!

 
 

stupid 701

heh heh heh…you said “butt”…heh heh heh.

I can FIND me some butte. There’s a town in Montana called Butte, which is ironic(?) because the middle of the town is a massive mining pit, rather than a butte…Hee hee–red states.

Just bend over and grab yer ankles.

 
 

It is the best time to make some plans for the long run and it is time to be happy.

I’ve read this submit and if I may just I wish to counsel you some attention-grabbing issues or suggestions. Maybe you could write subsequent articles referring to this article. I want to read even more things about it!
