Edrosothon


From Roy’s Tumblr Blog

Everybody who comes to this site knows, or should know, Roy Edroso of Alicublog, whose facility at political snarkentary on the right wing leaves everyone else in the left-o-sphere behind in the dust. If I could come up with the stuff that Roy does, I wouldn’t have to resort to photoshopping wingnuts on toilets and the other cheap tricks that are part of my repertory. I could just, you know, write stuff and you’d nod your head and giggle and come back again and again for more.

Well, a couple of bad circumstances have ganged up on Roy and left him in not such a good place. This has prompted an Edrosothon. Most people don’t think twice about handing over money to PBS just because some craven PBS affiliate aired another Suzie Orman special or dug up another Peter, Paul and Mary wheeze-fest video from the mothballs. But giving money to an Edrosothon is a much better use of your money and goes to someone who truly deserves it. There’s a PayPal button here.

And you can read more about the Edrosothon here, here, and here.

Watch it, young’un. Them’s fighting words.

 
 

@actor: I believe that is known as a cakeroll.

And if it isn’t, it should be.

Done!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Tintin.

It’s easy and fun to send some readies Roy’s way. Much better than kicking the corpse of Samuel Clemens.

 
 

You can’t pay for work as good as Roy’s, apparently, but this is the next best thing. Hopefully this is received in the spirit it’s intended.

 
 

“Edrosothon” sounds like a place-name in Mordor, but I have sent Roy some of the shiny milk-bottle tops that we use here as a primitive form of currency.

If it’s drinking time, and, why I do believe it is, I’d like to raise a glass to JayB for taking the initiative.

I originally read this as “Edrosothong” and thought to myself, “I like the guy, but not like that.”

 
 

Is there going to be variety show style entertainments? Do we get to dress up as Ann Althouse and do the Four Yorkshiremen sketch?

 
 

“Edrosothong”

You know, there ain’t enough brain bleach…

Looxury! I remember when my boobs didn’t sag under th’ weight of all that wine, I could serve as an emergency rack for 50 cal. goon!

He should do a fundraiser at one of the dive bars that characterize his new neighborhood of Inwood.

Edrosothong

Hot!

Somebody should put up some Alicublog thongs on Cafe Press.

 
 

Because we were poor. Me old Da used to say to me “Money doesn;t buy you non-saggy boobs” but he was wrong although we never knew it because we couldna afford plastic surgery.

I’ll give cuz his WOC entry gave me ladywood. I basically will give to anyone who lasciviously massages my funnybone.

Glass! We never had no glass. We had to drink straight out of the box.

 
 

Also! We need to get this guy better cakes.

Oh, me too. I think one of the best ones (which they recently re-posted) was the Sandra Lee Kwanzaa cake.

I’ll be sure to take the costume off before dinner then.

Whoah – I suddenly have the urge to talk about BOOBIES, but I don’t know if it’s me or Althouse that’s behind it.

It involves Corn Nuts and apple pie filling.

I actually think I talked about the original post here last year…

Althouse’s behind makes you think of boobies?

I can’t say enough good things about Roy Edroso. The few bucks I’m about to throw his way don’t come close to paying for the enjoyment and enlightenment he has provided me over the years.

I’m betting that it won’t be long until things are topsy-turvy with him topsy and the wingnuts turvy.

 
 

Here’s the re-post.

Oh look! A boobie with penii!

 
 

Bust a nut!

Nao. Wei. That’s actually somewhat amusing.

 
 

New levels of depravity reached: ‘roided-up M&M’s

Did they link the video of him climbing, bare-assed, on a chain-link fence? I only ask because whew NICE ASS.

Also, that Kwanzaa cake is the most fucking disgusting looking pile of poop I’ve seen since the last time I saw anything she “cooked.”

Good on JayB. Roy won’t ask and he may not take it but I hope he does.

another Peter, Paul and Mary wheeze-fest video from the mothballs.

HARUMPH! The four CD set is a treasure and it has a bonus DVD with, among other stuff, them performing If I had a hammer at the 1963 March on Washington. And a nifty booklet too! Also. I recently saw Peter Yarrow at a local coffee shop.

Now git off my fuckin lawn while I go toss some simoleons at Roy.

 
 

I can’t say enough good things about Roy Edroso. The few bucks I’m about to throw his way don’t come close to paying for the enjoyment and enlightenment he has provided me over the years.

Likewise. I hope everything works out well for him.

It seems like the crux of Roy’s problems is that the rent is too damn high.

I recently saw Peter Yarrow at a local coffee shop. That’s good, you can keep that dweeb on the left coast. In Maine we have Noel Paul who has been a consistently excellent member of the community. Can’t say enough good things about the guy.

Speaking of helping a blogger out who needs some help, what happened to the Contact page here? It doesn’t work anymore and I wanted to send something to D. Aristophanes because he mentioned being unemployed recently and I believe this could be a fit for him. Maybe he’s reading but if he’s not and you are, Tintin, please email it to him. Assuming you have his address.

I KNOW. I never thought the phrase “maybe I’m just gay” would actually make a dude *more* attractive to me.

 
 

I read his blog all of the time and I tried to give, but after I inputted all of my credit card information a new screen came up asking me to do it again and I just don’t trust it. so I don’t know if my donation went thru. Pay Pal sucks.

 
 

There was suggestion by Jay B. that a P.O. box might be established for Luddites, & those whose anonymity is important or who don’t perhaps trust PP. We should light a figurative fire under Mr. B., perhaps, or at least check into it/send a reminder his way, & congrats to him for taking the initiative here.

 
 

Money sent.

And apropos of nothing but with the engineers v. mathematicians dust-up a few threads back in mind, I offer you this:

A mathematician named Rawls
Who had hexahedronical balls
The cube of their weight
Plus his root lenght times eight
Is his phone number, give him a call!

 
 

*touches fingers to thread’s neck*

It’s dead, Jim.

 
 

You can molest it now. I won’t tell.

 
 

From Jay B.:

On P.O. Boxes
Hang tight for the PO Box option. Roy should surface soon (I’ve talked to him) and I’m sure we can work something out.

For the record, I don’t blame anyone for hating the PayPal. But it was strictly a half-assed convenience for me.

Start saving now!

 
 

A WIN from the cake wrecks site. The velociraptor’s expression!

And apropos of nothing but with the engineers v. mathematicians dust-up a few threads back in mind

Mathematicians are a curious sect
Of folks with acute intellects.
If smarts gets you wet,
Mathsies are a good bet,
But it’s engineers that know how to erect.

 
 

Ooooh. *applause*

zombie, if I were gonna buy you something it would some of the cool zombie-related I art I stumble across once in awhile. And, FTR, I’m always kind to zombies cuz I want to hang on to my branes.

 
 

BTW, whom do architects fight with? I’d like to get something started.

 
 

rofl. Well-played.

 
 

In real life, engineers, bankers, and developers.

Did I leave anyone out, ZRM?
~

 
 

Me, I fight vacuums. They can’t even WRITE POEMS.

 
 

What about contractors?

 
 

I always thought architects fight the same folks engineers fight. Anyone other than whomever signs the P.O.

 
 

I think the contractors are other people’s problems (aka the developers and bankers).

But ZRM would know better than I would. Also maybe we can get a ZRM-N__B war going.

“I’ll fight any of you mother-fuckers, or anyone else in this dump!”

[raises fists, spins, falls off stool w/ satisfying thump!]

 
 

Contrary actors? Sure.

Building contractors. No, I love those guys. They build for me!

Engineers? Nah. They make sure it stays up. Sometimes, gotta make sure they make it look decent though.

Bankers? Not as long as the checks clear.

Developers? ummmm… not always. They can’t write poems either.

 
 

Also maybe we can get a ZRM-N__B war going.

heck no, he’s my BFF. (Right behind fish.) I bought his book!

although that hyphenated thing you came up with looks AWESOME.

 
 

“ZRM-N__B war going.”

No way. I won’t have my loyalties divided.

 
 

The ZRM-N__B Axis of Erection!

…I’m not sure that came out right.

 
 

Wow, you two really ARE fond of each other.

 
 

The fact is, what you liberal left USA-hating bloggers are doing is far worse than anything Hitler did, or even OBSAMA THE KENYAN MUSLIM TERRORISM

 
 

I don’t care how much you flirt, Gary, N__B will never like you in THAT way.

 
 

Gary, don’t feel bad. N_B broke my heart too when said he preferred brunettes.

 
 

vs, have you given any thought as to how far through labor you will try to conversate with us? I don’t know if you’re going to decide to go all old-school and just interact with your partner and midwife and such-like. I would understand if you did, although I would feel hurt and neglected. Besides, really, how much use is one’s partner as a birthing coach? A friend of mine very nearly murdered her husband during labor for their first born, because he snacked on something with pesto sauce while they were getting ready to go to the hospital, and for the next umpteen hours, he was coaching right in her face with pesto-breath.

What I mean is, if you need to concentrate on birthin’ lil bebe Dustbuster, perhaps you could let the midwife coach, and have your partner type your thread comments.

Engineers are a curious breed
They’re not scientists they will concede
And they don’t build the stuff
Nor do design fluff
But you need all their skills to succeed.

Meh. Assuming that you’re talking about classical and medieval construction, there was always some division between people more concerned with form and people more concerned with construction. It’s a symbiotic relationship (without engineers’ branes, ZRM would be a starving zombie; without architects, I’d have to figure out what the hell clients wanted) so while I may hate individual architects who I think are assholes (and there are damned well individual engineers I hate, too) there’s no way for me to denounce the species without denouncing myself.

Besides, this is $3.40 in my pocket!

He takes the shit on the internet and makes … shitade? Look, I’m not a fucking writer, that’s Roy’s job.

I only saw RMF twice but those guys were the best of the worst and they rocked the squat. Roy doesn’t seem to make a big deal of it–apparently I missed any reference to RMF in his recent writings–but his three part RMF article is, outside of Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers, the best brief account of the LES in the late 80s.

Of those unable to bond?
Forget them, unless they’re engineers.

 
 

But not so good with English.

Not so good with the counting either. Your limericks don’t scan all that well Mister Architect.

 
 

Fucking Swiss.

Remind me not to try the fondue Chez Mort-Vivant.

Sorta like

I would invade Poland for a Kitler, but I’d have to name him Hilter.

Firstly, I’m an engineer. You can tell by all the sex I have with your mother. Secondly, as I have noted previously:

Scansion is the Gleichschaltung of poetic fascism.

 
 

Firstly, I’m an engineer.

Whoops. I don’t care can’t remember which of you and Mr. __B is which. This revelation of your purported profession makes your inability to count all the more worrying, too.

Also.

 
 

N__B is also an engineer.

 
 

Which train line you work for?

 
 

Which train line you work for?

I drive the Daily Express straight to your mom.

 
 

Although, N__B and I belong to different disciplines of engineering. N__B belongs to that group known as successful engineers. Me, I like discipline from your mom.

It’s Engineers all the way down.

 
 

There once was some Chowder from Whales
Who took poems and on “meter” impales
My instant-wrote verse
For being too terse
Or running too long in the last line – what dontcha know how to count – FAIL.

 
 

Vat is it wiz de muzzer all da time?

History time. This actually started out as a tribute to Debbie Stabenow but when I found how much I enjoy doing your mom I couldn’t stop. It’s because I’m lazy and there ain’t much that is easier than your mom.

 
 

Rather than a name, be bold, and give him a number. I suggest a nice round number, like “Four”, perhaps. Then, as a middle name, something to show that he aspires to greater things. a name like “Higher”, maybe. Then, when his name is listed officially,, last, first, middle…

No! Hows about a first name of First? Then when he’s in a waiting crowd and they call out “Who’s first?’ he’ll be all set.

Some people name their children after cities, Madison is a very popular name. In the same vein I offer:

I heard that too. Wonder if he’ll mention “the tide comes in, tide goes out.”

 
 

Ooh, is the tide horny?

Didn’t he invent the Mayan Pocket Fisherman?

 
 

Ooh, is the tide horny?

The tide is high.

This made me larf:

How important are gay-straight alliances (GSA) in high schools, groups that aim to foster a safe and comfortable environment for gay, lesbian and trans students?

The Ontario Ministry of Education thinks GSAs are pretty important. They are encouraged as one of the best ways to fight homophobia in schools and build bridges between all students.

But the Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) takes a different view. The board feels the groups are harmful and has issued a ban on GSAs altogether.

Halton region is a bit west of LEAFS SUCK. It’s the snooty upper crust suburb area with the monstrously huge houses that each have three luxury SUVs in the drive. Despite the fact that the majority of people living in Halton region work in the financial district of what is arguably the most multi-cultural city in the world, Halton is about 80% white – half Catholics and half Protestants.

Incidentally the Jewish population of Halton region is about half a percent.

“Says Rep. John Cauthorn (R-Mexico): ‘The average guy on the street hates Spanish, and it is everywhere. To the average guy, that is important. We are almost to the point of losing our identity as a nation.'”

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amusing that this guy is from Mexico, Missouri?

If I’m still here when shit hits the fan and all the red states secede, you guys will come get me, right? Right???

 
 

So T&U, are you for or agin the income tax->sales tax change?

Because as a resident of a no-income-tax-having state, I can tell you it’s regressive as hell to have a sales tax, for all the reasons cited in the linked article.

Completely, utterly against.

In fact, if I were in charge, I would abolish all sales taxes except on luxury goods. But I’m not, and this is why America sucks.

I’ll be happy to climb on my high horse and…pontificate about how they all deserved it.

Naw, I’d rescue you and Mr. Unreliable. Thing is, y’all’d be just a couple of drops in a river of refugees.

Well, ahem, Mr. Unreliable wouldn’t need rescuing. He’s in a bike-friendly liberal place with no sales tax. And excellent food carts *glares at Peej*

Thank you, though. I’m only 3/4 kidding.

 
 

STOP JAMMING UP THE INTERSTATE BRIDGE AND HAYDEN ISLAND you cheap fuckers.

If it weren’t for the cheap shopping, North Portland would be about the size of Coupeville.

 
 

Well, ahem, Mr. Unreliable wouldn’t need rescuing.

Uh oh. I hope this just means you’re just waiting until circumstances change to reunite the Unreliable clan.

 
 

I’m two just.

 
 

Oh, so you’ll be able to emigrate: no Red State would keep a woman from her man because GAWD. You won’t be able to take your shoes, though, and you’ll have to promise to get knocked up as soon as possible.

North Portland

Need to correct you on that – NoPo is the part of Portland up PIR way. That other place is known locally as Vantucky or, more kindly, “The Couv” (pronounced “coov”).

You should come to PIR for a track day.

Uh oh. I hope this just means you’re just waiting until circumstances change to reunite the Unreliable clan.

Not so much, but thank you. Have I mentioned that last year sucked? Because last year really, really sucked.

I keep a Tweety Bird sweatshirt on hand just for such an occasion.

“But I talked to Jay, and it appears a lot of people have contributed. A lot. And the take is meaningful — enough that I’m not really hearing the hellhounds anymore, and should be able to get to a clean, well-lighted place soon.”

YAY!

 
 

Aw, T&U, sorry things didn’t work out. Here’s hoping this year is fabulous, and I’ll totally be on the extraction team if/when it comes to that.

And I’ll be on the insertion team. If you know what I mean.

And I think you do.

 
 

Not so much, but thank you.

Truly sorry to hear this. Here’s hoping 2011 is much better.

On the plus side, I could come get you on the motorsickle and we could make like the Mad Max dudes if it comes to that. You have lots of leather, right?

Late to the topic, but for vs’s son I recommend the fine manly names sported by one consolidated rural school district in northern Iowa, making him

Rockwell Swaledale Vacuumslayer

I think it has a certain ring …

 
 

board chair Alice Anne LeMay.

((Re: conversation beginning 20:56)) My guess is that Alice is the granddaughter of crazed General Curtis LeMay.

I’m only 3/4 kidding.

T&U: Better than being 3/5 kidding. Also…

I’ll totally be on the extraction team if/when it comes to that.

And I’ll be on the insertion team. If you know what I mean.

Here’s another volunteer!. I once planned an insertion/extraction for a JSOC command execise. This one will feature covert engineers, commando architects, zombie writers, elite artists, education specialists, expert photographers, and the veteran MOMS Battalion. We’ll get you off.

((Can’t be closely engaged with S,N! today. Still lots of stuff to do. The thread has been a lot of fun to read! Have fun.))

 
 

Wonderful about Roy. Generosity rools!

 
 

I hate this state.

Kit Bond drools! At least MO went for McCain. Silver lining: We won’t have to listen to anymore bullshit about Missouri has voted for winning Presidential candidate since the 13th century.
