A Screaming Comes Across The Sky
Posted on July 12th, 2010 by Tintin
And blows up Thers, who thought he was safe, with “An Eastern European Kinda Funk.” Silly Thers.
Of course, an Alvin and the Chipmunks remix was inevitable and is below the fold.
A Screaming Comes Across my desk.

Eurovision? Isn’t that cheating?
More pathetic than that guy who begged for a new grill?
Isn’t using EuroVision kind of cheating?
Nice pants. How did they get that much hideous fabric in one place?

Broke into Rush Limbaugh’s tie factory, of course.

That explains the singularity in the space-time continuum.
Truly Eastern Europeans have never been more funky. Or less funky.
I do believe that dance is a variation on the Macarena. Let’s call it the Macaroni.
I’m pretty sure funk and plaid are mutually exclusive.
Science clearly has overlooked the moral issues associated with producing something as destructive as this.

What? You’ve never heard of “plunk”?
You know her better as Avril Lavigne
OK. I apologize. That was a cheap shot at funk.
Did WordPress eat this post way back in January and has now decided to spit it back out after all these months? Just asking cause, I’m an ungrateful bastard.

Those are some wild and crazy guys!

Anthony Lane went to Eurovision 2010 and sent a letter.
it’s sad that so few bands employ foam instruments.

I’ve thrown that trump card faster before.
@J-. The Lane article was my inspiration for relaunching the YouTube war with Thers. It’s a hilarious piece of writing and it is truly a shame that it is behind the New Yorker’s pay wall. For those inclined to buy the digital issue at $5.99, it’s worth it for the article.
Another tragedy is the so few bands close their acts by stripping to be-jewelled mini-shorts.
An all-Eurovision war could destroy life as we know it.
Get some Parliament to Eastern Europe. STAT.
Bless their hearts for tryin’.

This is not negligence- it’s mama mea culpa

Why bother with the shorts? http://www.vajazzling.com/
Are we all straight and upright now?
TESTAre we all straight and upright now?
Some of us are straight, some of us are upright, some neither, damned few both.
Funny. I always thought Eastern European funk involved the smell of bratwurst, pierogies and quiet desperation.
The Lane article
Yes, fun stuff. I also enjoyed reading him in longer form than the movie reviews.
“Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda funk!”
And here I’d been thinking that this was satire.
be-jewelled mini-shorts
this reminded me of this phrase from Douglas Adams’ ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’
A dreadful silence fell across the conference table as the commander of the Vl’hurgs, resplendent in his black bejeweled battle shorts, gazed levelly at the G’Gugvuntt leader squatting opposite him in a cloud of green sweet-smelling steam, and, with a million sleek and horribly beweaponed star cruisers poised to unleash electric death at his single word of command, challenged the vile creature to take back what it had said about his mother.
Searching for the phrase ‘black bejeweled battle shorts’ led me to a page with the following Vogon poem. I thought I should share.
Ode on a Grecian Urinal
by The Imperial Poet-Master, D’Nee HN’Ree
Of Man’s first naughtiness, and the fruit
Of that Vegan Breastgrope Tree, whose disgusting savour
Brought Debauchery into the cosmos, and stuff like that,
With loss of virginhood, till one greater Man,
Named Adams, regain’d the blissful seat, named Bog,
Sing, O heavenly Muse. O most awesome, ugsome Muse,
Chunderina of the Technicolour Yawn,
Vomitous maiden, hear my Vogon song,
That the cares of the ‘Hurg Admirals may
Be lightened, and their ventricles soothed,
As if dipped in a pool of Sirian vaseline.
See where the moon, in turdsome tweeds clad,
Oozes o’er yon high eastward hill, casting
A scumbrous light on this, our humble nosh-up.
And so to me myself, ah me, ah my,
Dum-dee-doe, dum-dee-die, I think what ’tis
To be or not to be, and whether ’tis baser
In the bonce to suffer the Mega-cruisers
And Scrotum-Disrupter Rays of the loathsome G’gugvuntts,
Or to fall into the arms of a loose woman,
And by caressing catch Herpes. To booze,
Perchance to belch, and by a belch we mean
To say a pocket of stale putrefaction
That, brewing in the guts, riseth up
Bursting forth in crescendo of radioactive diced carrot.
‘Had we but stars enough, and time,
This flatulence, honey, ain’t no crime.’
So saith the Vogon bard, Slugnatter,
As at last he rose from his bed of Irish Stew,
And set forth to fresh woods and pastry new,
Pointing the moral, if moral you require,
That life is short, but Vogonity short and dire.
Believe it or not, InCulto is one of the milder weapons I have in my Eurovision 2010 arsenal
An all-Eurovision war could destroy life as we know it.
I’m already implementing my zombie attack protocols. I figure mind-numbed humans are about half as intelligent and twice as vicious as zombies.
Now where did I put my batliff?
Wow, Lithuanian plaid funk played on kazoos and apparently inside a Space Invaders machine.
That is some pretty heavy megatonnage all right.
OK, and the chipmunk thing is just fucked up.
But I’d rather watch it than the movies the footage came from.
Could Eurovision get swallowed by a dog, though?
What’s crackalackin, loony libs? Been a lil bit since Da Cool Coach rapped at ya, and I know you were wanting it bad, amiright? So I’m back! Wuzza-wuzzup? I’ll tell you what’s going down in Chinatown, it’s ConservoMentum ’10! Just now the Obummer adumbistration is pooping in their pantaloons about the upcoming SPREAD onslaught from Super Sarah, the Power Palin, not to mention all the rest of us true conservative patriots in the blogland! Dump that SPREAD in your latte, you dorkus malorkuses! Soon we’ll retake Congress and ya better believe that impeachment will be on the table, cuz ya can’t stop da conservative rock, ya dig?
Suck on that SPREAD, libs! Urban out.
Clearly my warning was not warny enough.
The chipmunk version is more street.

Glitter hot-pants? Even on hawt babes, that shit is nothing less than a crime against sanity.
The dead – I’m starting to envy them.
I dunno about the chipmunk version. Needs more bass if you’re gonna go cruising for chicks with it.
Now I’ve got a mental image of chipmunks having sex with chickens. Thanks.
Beats Eurovision.
Lane’s article was hilarious, although I think he was kinda harsh with the fat jokes about that Icelandic chick.
Drop the bomb like BOOM!
Eastern europe is to singers as Australia is to oddball animals.
I know you were wanting it bad, amiright?
Is that what you told your wife the night you knocked her up?

Hey! That’s my battle outfit for the end of days!
Confederate Wanker (BBQ grill RIP) is angry that the NAACP fails to understand how racist they are even though TeaTards are trying to help the NAACP recognize its own racism.
I thought it was hilarious that CornFed whined about how many vacations Obama took this summer but never noted that Bush spent 6 of his eight years IN CRAWFORD.
Finally watched the Eurovision song, after prejudging it. It’s not that bad – reminds me of the heady days of 1982. And it’s about a bazillion times better than that goddamn Lady Antebellum song.
Also, too: thanks to the Black Eyed Peas, young Koreans now think that “Mazeltov!” is just a word Americans yell when they’re having a good time.
Unless someone’s planning on paying me, I am not gonna read that. No fookin way.
How is it that you don’t trust a Confederate Yankee to give an honest account of the doings of the NAACP?
“Mazeltov!”
Wow, that’s a big boy band. I count nine.
Check out the mango:
I don’t think TIDOS knows what he just wrote with those last 6 words.

Well shit. Somebody has got to set those uppity NAACP guys straight. All this equality business gives me a headache.

Good–I don’t think BOB all over your face is very becoming.
In a few short sentences Bob characterizes the NAACP as a group that is simultaneously (1) antiquated and irrelevant and (2) exercising absolute mind control over all but a small handful of African Americans.
The NAACP is all evil things to all evil people.

Clearly the NAACP should learn from ACORN: stop helping pimps set up hookers, and dissolve and disappear.

Joseph C. Phillips on eighth-graders reading Animal Farm:
Um, Phillips *does* know that Orwell intended that as a screed *against* Communism, right?
Anyone need a larf? Never has graphic design been so fucking hilarious.
Donkey balls
I am not claiming that there is a Marxist conspiracy to indoctrinate our children.
I had TWO Marx posters in my room. He inspires me like Lady Gaga.
He kinda does and doesn’t -ORWELL WAS A SOCIALIST! – but imagining middle-schoolers reading Locke is interesting. I’d also note that “the borders may remain the same, but the character of this nation will be lost forever” is the sort of dog-whistle you’d expect Confederate Yankee to be blowing…
Anyone need a larf? Never has graphic design been so fucking hilarious.
Funny, yes.
But oh so cruel. Poor Shannon. She probably should have asked one of his staff, who would have been happy to screw the fuck out of David’s deadlines. He doesn’t sound like the type of guy to keep his workers happy.
BURN HIM!
I don’t think for a second it’s real. I can’t imagine someone being as snotty as the designer and as clueless as the secretary.
Donkey balls
Nothing like a visualization of a classic joke.
The same anti-kitty sociopath produced this wonderment.
but imagining middle-schoolers reading Locke is interesting
It would be a stretch, to be sure. I don’t recall covering Locke until high school. Hell, I’d be surprised if they cover John Stuart Mill in middle school. Marx and Lenin have had a far bigger impact on recent history than Mill and Locke, and certainly, if it’s an English class (where you’d be more likely to read Animal Farm anyway) it seems like a pretty good jumping point to bring political philosophy into a generic discussion.
I can’t imagine someone being as snotty as the designer and as clueless as the secretary.
Obviously, you’ve never worked for my boss.
Or me, for that matter.
Again! Again! I love repetition!!
Fuckin’ wordpress. Google “David Thorne” and “spider”.
*snort*
You snort.
The guy shot me with a Nerf gun once because I skipped thru channels to get something done.
Exactly. It’s a good book and a good way to understand allegory. Not every class needs to be about the founding fathers.
Nerf gun? This is how you drive home your point?
I’ll give you something real to cry about.
Talking about Locke…
What are Locke and Jack from Lost doing there on stripped pants singing ? Is it another nefarious plot by the man in black ?
“I had TWO Marx posters in my room”
What, no love for Zeppo?
Nerf gun? This is how you drive home your point?
My suspicion at the time, and since reinforced, was that he had been able to keelhaul me, or tie me to the yardarm for thirty with the lash, he would have.
What, no love for Zeppo?
He just Gummos up the works.
I’ll give you something real to cry about.
giggity
What, no love for Zeppo?
Wait–I thought Marx was one of the Three Stooges and not that lame Shep guy. I’m confused now.
Quit crying or I’ll give you something to cry about.
I thought Animal Farm was about the Porkulus.
blart
BLART!
Twilight: Blart
I won’t even bother. Does he really claim/think/state that teenagers are madly adorning their rooms across America with Karl Marx posters? Like, it’s a fad or something? ‘Cause, I’m out of touch with teh yoots of today but I can’t imagine that being a big thing.
I don’t think it was that limited. Yes, in part — not least of which to warn his fellow socialists of the dangers of following this anti-rational Stalinist path. But he also layered in criticisms of the pernicious authoritarianism of the mind and culture in his own country and capitalist society in general.
Those aspects of Animal Farm and 1984 (particularly the NewSpeak derived from the BBC’s wartime foreign broadcasts, for which Orwell worked, adoption of ‘Basic English’ aiming for a severely limited vocabulary, one which would have basically eliminated much of what Orwell was saying) were never emphasized in the mass acceptance of those works in the classroom.
And his journalism and essays completely ignored, because there you would have experienced his criticisms of Western and capitalist societies as well.
Like, it’s a fad or something? ‘Cause, I’m out of touch with teh yoots of today but I can’t imagine that being a big thing.
I don’t think there actual compiled statistics of poster sales, but I’ll bet Green Day kicks Karl’s ass like the bitch he is.
Kenyonesian Obamunism has enslaved us all.
Why does the NAACP keep whining about all the supposed anti-n***** hate? TeaTards are for FREEDOM, not slavery.
Well, back to the character of the nation in 1776 I guess.
Twilight: Blart
So, Rusty, are you on Team Blart, or Team Blart?
I don’t think there actual compiled statistics of poster sales, but I’ll bet Green Day kicks Karl’s ass like the bitch he is.
Vatch it, Sonny Boy, or I’ll put Das Boot in Das Butt!
teenagers are madly adorning their rooms
Sha, as if. Smacks of effort, man.
So, Rusty, are you on Team Blart, or Team Blart?
I rate for Blart always
My guess is that Phillips saw a Jerry Garcia poster in a head shop and mistook him for Karl Marx.
Stoners of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your munchies!
“I am willing to wager my house that not one of my son’s seventh-grade classmates could identify John Locke in a photo”
I am willing to bet Joe Philips house also given the fact that photography wasn’t invented until 150 years after Lockes death.
I have a B.A. in philosophy and have read several of his writings and even I couldn’t pick Locke out of a lineup so what is your point Joe?
Perhaps there is a painting on the interwebs. I will Googles and return.
I defy any wingnut to to recognize this man.

I can only identify hairstyles, so John Stuart Mill and Schopenhauer stick out for me. And Wittgenstein, but only ’cause that motherfucker looks crazy as a shit-house rat.
They can’t identify this guy in a photo? I mean, maybe if they watch the show.
The guy shot me with a Nerf gun once because I skipped thru channels to get something done.
piker. One of my bosses would throw X-Acto knives at you if you did something wrong.
Oops. I mean, this guy.
Well, back to the character of the nation in 1776 I guess.
OUCH.
Vatch it, Sonny Boy, or I’ll put Das Boot in Das Butt!
Go ahead. My life sux cuz the gov owns das boot and das butt. I have no will to live or work.
I’m probably diseased, I actually don’t mind the song up top.
But that’s probably because I ignored the “funk” claim and the inordinate whiteness surrounding it and treated it like Gogol Bordello Lite.
I think it’s mainly that I like the lyrics that aren’t the chorus. Same sort of sly political messaging as Gogol Bordello.
Far less painful than most Eurovision fare. There be Celine Dion shaped sea monsters in them waters.
“a nation of slaves”
I sense a sound, but can’t quite hear it. My dog is trying to bite my leg.
I would like to have participated in last night’s tomfoolery here but I was too busy with dinner. I just wanted to share that with you.
tsam-
Must be your imagination. We always know that right-wingers would never resort to racial dog-whistles for political gain.
Wait…never is the word that means all the time, right? Or am I thinking about spam? Maybe it was boysenberry.
“…right-wingers would boysenberry resort…”
Much better.
“I’m probably diseased,”
I read this as “deceased,” and I was like “Great, another zombie.”. They have terrible taste.
” My dog is trying to bite my leg.”
That was I. Thought you were into that.
Nobody knows this, but Public Enemy was really talking about the oppressive amount of taxes that the wealthy pay. FIGHT THE POWER!
are you on Team Blart, or Team Blart?
I myself will own up to a crush on Blart, but I’m kinky that way.
“Nobody knows this, but Public Enemy was really talking about the oppressive amount of taxes that the wealthy pay. FIGHT THE POWER!”
Totally.
It takes a nation of estate taxes to hold us back.
so John Stuart Mill and Schopenhauer stick out for me.
VERALL.ONE.WIG
That was I. Thought you were into that.
I didn’t say I didn’t like it. Little higher, please.
“Nobody knows this, but Public Enemy was really talking about the oppressive amount of taxes that the wealthy pay. FIGHT THE POWER!”
They also railed against reverse racism (whatever the fuck that is) and the oppressive letter writing of the NAACP.
“I didn’t say I didn’t like it. Little higher, please.”
Giggity
It takes a nation of estate taxes to hold us back.
We were never free until the oppressive tax on free money for people who are already rich was repealed. Now all of their bratty fucking offspring can finally afford to live for 449 years without working if necessary.
vacuumslayer-
Nonsense, I felt a heart beat less than an hour ago.
And I said I didn’t mind it not that I loved it. It mostly made me want to listen to Gogol Bordello. I think move its lyrics to a band that could actually play or at least make the chorus about a genre that actually is included in the fucking musical attempt and you might have something good enough for a B-side.
Wait…that wasn’t my heart…and it was made of boysenberries.
Uh oh…
zrm, did you turn me again? Don’t make me get out the Phoenix Down.
Krikey, first of all, one of the reasons Animal Farm became part of the pre-college canon is because COMMUNISM BAD. That’s not at all the entire point of the book, so much of what goes on in that book can be applied to all sorts of societies, but fuckazoids just like THIS guy were the ones who were determined to have studies about Marx and Lenin put into our high schools — so we could see how bad they were, and know our enema in the battle for ….Freedom — and the same with Animal Farm.
Have wingnuts been pushing for anti-Muslin propaganda courses to be put into our school systems? I’ve not heard of it. Maybe they’d just rather focus on keeping it very, very simple:
1) USA #1! WOOOO!!!
and
2) Kill them A-rabs! They all hate us, you know.
Also, too: Locke? Ideas our Founding Fathers built this country on? Sure, the legal and political framework. As for those who were actually digging the canals by hand and draining the swamps and planting the rice and picking the cotton and sawing the timber and building the ships, I bet they might have had less of a boner for a philosophy of “limited government” being paraded around as a classier version of “pimps up, hos down.” Not that our Founding Fathers (inspired by Gawd-uh) were, oh, slave owners and lawyers and the like. Oh no.
Cerebus, may I be frank*? I think the fact that you kinda like it and you said it is kinda awesome.
*this was hard. I don’t even like Frank.
vacuumslayer-
I’m a sucker for sly political lyrics, what can I say?
I don’t even like Frank.
Wow, I could put this one over the center field wall. Add beans and it’s a touchdown/home run.
“We were never free until the oppressive tax on free money for people who are already rich was repealed. Now all of their bratty fucking offspring can finally afford to live for 449 years without working if necessary.”
Why do you hate success?

Because it hates me.

I guess I see it this way: Old lady crams half of her SS check into a slot machine each month…a few months down the road, she finally hits for 6 or 7 thousand dollars. She pays the free money tax rate, which is a pretty significant bite. Some inexplicably famous/notorious heiress spends her whole life unimaginably wealthy, then inherits a few billion, and can’t be arsed to pay some taxes like the lottery/gambling winners. Or people who earn a bonus at work…
40 acres and a federal guarantee of investments in mortgage-based-security-tranch CDO’s!

I was only trying to share some culinary adventures likes this.
And here’s a preemptive FYWP.
Geezey-weezey, PeeJ, don’t link pix of meat!! Now I have to go out & get some pork ribs for breakfast, several hrs. before scheduled.
You know, I recall seeing portraits of Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, etc. in school. Historical figures with notable and striking portraits tend to have that portrait reproduced in pedagogy, especially when portraits of those men were used in service of personality cults.
John Locke doesn’t fit that description. On the other hand, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, etc. did, and their portraits are certainly well-known to American students.
As a certified Junior Marxist, li’l Djur tended to gripe about Marx’s portrait being lined up with Stalin and Mao. I went to a public high school in a particularly leftish area of the reliably leftish Portland, Oregon, and the only remotely positive things I ever heard about communism were in private conversations with teachers who I’d approached on the subject.
Anyone who sees a portrait of Stalin in a schoolroom and thinks that the kids are being taught about the glorious Bolshevik revolution is either playing stupid or the genuine article.
Lemme say this PeeJ, I would dearly love to suck the meat off of your bone. Totes heterosexually of course.
Pork and beans without a can?!?!?!?
Taxes! How low can they go?

The fact is, Hitler was and is still admired by the far left as a model of how socialism should be run. They still quote him and admire him and this is why Obama, Alinsky, Soros, destry American freedom USA.
Destry Rides Again!
The fact is, Obama takes us down the same path Hitler us, but white people in the Heartland are the Jews this time. He favors the blacks and the communists, and supports the tenants of Marxism.
I was quoting him this morning before those not-so-nice men with the tasers showed up.

Damn if say it you can Gitmo me now
Power to the TeaTards no delay
We got to fight the powers that be!
The fact is, Soros funds all the far left, hard left, destroy America socialist crap that is on the liberal media praising Obama. In November, not one liberal will be elected since your ideas are discredited for a generation now, all the porkulus and debt. We will go back to tax cuts and freedom and limioted government and the free market, no more handouts just hard work for all and rewards that go with it not lying on the couch biased sociaests of the far left.
The fact is, the far left are in loony land and have no creditability, they are ruining America with anti-freedom. Obama is their god, but he is actually something like Satan and Hitler in one.
My season’s purchase of caviar was funded by George Soros, and all I had to do was wear a “Yes We Can” T-shirt.
Anti-freedom is powerful but it can only exist for tiny fractions of a second before it decays into tax particles.
George Soros bought me Barbie’s Dream House.
I am ANGRY.
George Soros is always punking us. I’m starting to think that check is NEVER coming. Sheesh.
OT- I don’t pay attention to trolls or commercials (there’s a parallel), except by accident. Imagine my surprise when I finally do pay attention I’m viewing a commercial inspecting for clingons! T to tha effin’ MI. Seems Mama Bear has a tetch of tha OCD.
What? Mama Grizzly wants to inspect your ass every time you shit? There’s a surprise. You wouldn’t think a woman like that would have any psychological problems.
If we don’t have extremely precise, obsessive, high standards for the tissue paper with which we wipe our asses after shitting and then inspect the results, what good is a modern economy? What use is freedom if little bits of tissue hang around?
It’s all that fur.
Michael New argues that a society that has legal abortions will have legal abortions. Disappointing!
What kind of society are we creating when we fail to cherish the importance of sad, rote, punitive sex within marriages? Have we forgotten what marriage is all about?
sad, rote, punitive sex
Sex on flatbread is almost always sad but not necessarily punitive.
Hot fucking on the floor before breakfast is not what I think of as utilitarian, but hey, I don’t have my wetsuit on.
Wait — the ones who see marriage as a functional responsibility to breed and prepare offspring for a next generation aren’t the utilitarian ones?
Recreational sex apparently involves charting and stopwatches.

Of course. Need to update the stats for the fantasy leagues.
There’s always the professional leagues.
Anyone who sees a portrait of Stalin in a schoolroom and thinks that the kids are being taught about the glorious Bolshevik revolution is either playing stupid or the genuine article.
After arriving at college, it always amazed me how incredibly wrong the right’s depictions were about, well, everything.
Teaching us socialism? In your dreams. Not only wasn’t I taught socialism, but I distinctly remember professors casually stating things like “deregulation good regulation bad, privatization good public sector bad, globalization good protectionism bad” as facts rather than points of view. Actually, me and a couple of my friends were quite used to being the only Keynesians in the classroom.
Palestinian activism? Please. Yes, we had a pro-Palestine presence on campus. We had an even larger pro-Israel one (no, the Jews who voted for Obama do not want Israel gone) that made sure their views were represented as well; and the one professor I ever recall being booted out was a prof who was denied tenure for having presented the Palestinian point of view in one of her classes.
Anti-military activity; I don’t remember a single professor who ever greeted the veterans in our classes (yes, we had veterans) with anything less than a “thank you for your service,” and a very honest statement it was in most cases. (Raised eyebrows among the foreign students, but that was pretty much it).
Islamic radicalism; never heard any of it either, and I interacted with the Muslim Student Association a few times. They did host a panel during “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week” that condemned terrorism, but also condemned it with neocon foreign policy and equated the two, which in a wingnut’s mind counts as “excusing” terrorism I suppose.
But yeah, sure, we were all Ayersites.
many women continue to view sex as largely recreational even within a marital relationship
“Sex as largely recreational” = “utilitarian terms” = BAD.
Presumably “sex as largely non-recreational” is somehow not a utilitarian view, but at this point I lost the thread of the argument.
The alternative, deontological way to view sex is “share it out evenly so that I get my fair share”, but this might not be New’s intention.
I would tax Raquel Welch… I’ve a feelin’ she’d tax me…
Maybe not.
Some of them even get the foolish idea they can also say no whenever they damn well please…

You guys probably don’t realize that the title of this post refers to the first sentence of Gravity’s Rainbow, by Thomas Pynchon, which is my favorite book, other than the books my dad wrote that helped send me to the kinds of schools where I became the kind of guy who could appreciate Gravity’s Rainbow and notice allusions to it on comedy blogs and then explain those allusions to readers of those comedy blogs who probably didn’t notice it themselves because their dads never wrote any books. Has anyone seen E$? I was supposed to meet up with him at Burgers and Cupcakes after he finished a taping but before he went to another taping and I waited around for him for a long time and he never showed up but I had 2 burgers and 4 cupcakes and reexamined my views about shutting down Gitmo (Bush should have but Obama is right not to), the NBA (I think Miami is going to be strong in the East this season), and philosophy (I believe that the world is all that is the case). Anyway I keep texting him but he doesn’t answer me and this kind of thing happens all the time.
E$
is that a strongly typed variable name?
First they came for the attack rabbits, and I did not speak out because I was not an attack rabbit;
Then they came for the werejaguars, and I did not speak out because I was not a werejaguar;
Then they came for the thunderbeasts, and I did not speak out because I was not a thunderbeast;
Then they came for the misshapen hellhounds, and I did not speak out because I was not a misshapen hellhound;
Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak out for me.
“It seems the Call of the Bile has been answered.”
Ah, so that’s what James O’Keefe has been up to.
My parents died in the Hellhoundacaust. I hope you are happy, Bastard!
I call fake Matt Y. A lack of typos was the giveaway.

It must be terrifying having to go through life never being able to look into a mirror from fear of your reflection punching you in the face.
Nobody knows this, but Public Enemy was really talking about the oppressive amount of taxes that the wealthy pay. FIGHT THE POWER!

WHYYYYYYYYYY would you make popsicles with Laphroaig? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Freezing point of Laphroaig is about -50 deg. C, if memory serves.
POPSICLE FAIL.

Scott Brown made it clear just after he was elected that he wasn’t going to toe either party’s line. A maverick! Only with nicer thighs.

They hate mavericks worse than Democrats, though. Maybe the thighs were enough to appease them.
My friend (whom I adore) is trying to make scotch popsicles. she asked for hints, and I’m tempted to tell her “JUST DRINK THE SCOTCH, DAMMIT.”

Or she could JUST DRINK IT, DAMMIT.
Oh, well. I don’t know why I care–it’s not like I’m man enough to drink Laphroaig anyway.

There’s a trick to drinking any alcohol neat: exhale thru your nose after you’ve got a mouthful but before you swallow.

A lack of basic scientific knowledge combined with alcoholism. I’ve seen this many times before. Some friends and I would be happy to take her to a meeting if she’s ready for one.
