You Are All Rockstars!
…
I have no words.
Or rather, I have all the words. When I wrote my last post, asking for help in the fallout of a number of kicks to the teeth that we’ve suffered this year, I felt like shit. My financial future was looking bleak, my emotional situation was worse. I felt like a failure.
And then…
You guys and gals and genderqueers and fluberts waving your implanted tentacles. You all reduced me to a bawling baby. So much love. So quickly. So UTTERLY beyond anything I could have ever dreamed. I’m humbled. I’m beyond humbled, reduced to serfdom (oh wait that was capitalism’s fault), by your generosity.
I’m not only fine for this next month, but quite a few ahead. I might even be able to relax and actually give myself some time to start a few things I thought I wouldn’t even be able to think about for another year at least.
Things might be turning around and you, you beautiful, lovely, amazing readers are responsible. I know I’m not the only one who’s hit a grave patch, but those who’ve given what they could, even if it was a couple of bucks. You’ve all helped me out more than words can say.
I know I’m rambling. And I know that I’m repeating myself, but wow. Just WOW!
The funny will definitely resume shortly. I’m currently trying to track down a good bit of wingnuttery to use for Chelsea Manning’s long belated public coming out. But I wanted to take the time to thank every last one of you who put in something to help.
You all know who you are. And you know how very much I appreciate what you’ve done. What you’ve taken from yourselves so that I could… It means so, so much. It has touched me. Reduced me bawling on the floor in joy (hey, novel feeling, right on). Hell, even as I write this now, things are starting to get blurry with the mist in my eyes.
YOU ARE ALL ROCKSTARS!
I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT.
Sincerely,
Cerberus
P.S. My cobloggers insisted I add this to the end.
If you want to email me directly or want to send me snail-mail aid, I can send that to you through my email at cerberussadlyno AT gmail DOT com so that’s also a way for those who want to help further (please do not feel obligated to help further).
And also at their behest (because extra money is good or something, I dunno, it was something about capitalism and accepting help when it comes):
Here’s the link to throw in an extra few books if you want (again, no obligation):
Again, don’t feel you have to. Plenty of people have and WOW. Again, just wow! I love you all so very very much.
I shall be the FIRST one to say, you’re welcome.
We love you, Cerb.
There ain’t no justice in letting a bunch of closed minded “straights” bully you into destitution, emotional or otherwise.
So, gay abortions for everyone? That’s thanks enough.
Hey second post for me! My lurking days are over….
I just wanted to add: you deserve this. No, seriously. You guys should keep a “donate” button there permanently. I discovered this site about 8 months ago and immediately became addicted, and I went back and looked at stuff dating back *years*.
Somehow, I feel I know you. Know the commenters, Tintin, HTML Mencken… like the celebrities you are.
So much awesome is one little site – and I’ve learned more about gender identity and orientation than any manual could have taught. (I am a married, hetero cis-woman who teaches languages… lots of LGBT friends, and I know some of the concepts, but still what an education on this site!)
I can’t wait to see what you do with the Chelsea Manning stuff – so much good material already.
Okay, this is not snarky at all – I promise sometime soon I’ll delurk and make snarky funny comments, y’all!
In the meantime, I love you all – in all virtual-reality.
All the de-lurkers are a righteous tribute. Good on ya Cerb.

Late contrib due to travel, but a heartfelt little bit of help.
The bit of highway 1 from Leggett down to Ft. Bragg was fun but got me into trouble with Mrs. Chowder for “overenthusiastic” riding. I blame Pup. We are now ensconced in our cabin in Mendocino and enjoying champagne and the evening view over the ocean. Life is good and it’s good to share.
We’re all in this together, kid. 🙂
Just came across. And I’ll have you know I overcame my PayPal phobia to do it. (I even talked Rebecca at Wonkette into giving me her home address because I was scared of PayPal. But no more.)
Naaah, the rock star is you…we’re just the screaming fans throwing our panties up on stage 😛
Seriously…it was small scratch compared to the genuine enlightenment and entertainment you’ve sent our way over the years…
As a hemi-demi-semi-regular, I feel really bad not being able to contribute right now, but IF my girlfriend’s niece pays back the money we loaned her by the first so we can pay our rent, and you still need it then, we’ll see….
You’ve added a tremendous amount to this site, and opened my eyes to a lot of things I was blissfully unaware of, so you deserve all I could do. Hope things get better, anyway.

A reason to bust out my Quay Lewd outfit!
Cerb, I’m glad that I got to add to that ray of Karmic sunshine. You’re worth all that love, and more.
I almost got to bite the head off a bat last week. Does that count?
I’ve been shallow and self absorbed that surely counts.

😛 My motorcycles sit gathering dust and looking at me plaintively. I messed up my knee a week ago Sunday, and have been on crutches since then. Tomorrow I see the PA who will recommend an MRI, probably. I strongly suspect I will need surgery and that the bikes will sit out the rest of the season.
My motorcycles sit gathering dust and looking at me plaintively.
BOOO! This is sad on many levels. Here’s to a quick recovery sans surgery.
This was taken last week over the Rim fire in Yosemite.
Ship a Duc or two out to me – I’ll keep them exercised for you.
Sorry to hear it Helmut. An old friend sez that in the unlikely event he ever gets to meet his maker he’s going to have a harsh word with him about knee design.
Yeah, it seems like knees (and hips and pelvises etc.) that were totally adequate for our 70lb australopithecene ancestors running around on the African savannah, don’t really scale up that well when we add in the stresses of concrete sidewalks and doubled mass, sedentary lifestyles, and consumption of rum.
It wasn’t my sedentary lifestyle that shredded my knees, or the vodka, it was the thousands of miles of hiking and the karate. The ACL replacement worked OK but all the cartilage is completely frayed.
Yeah, my knee injury is probably 85% – 90% skiing related, I blew it out in 1998 while working as a ski instructor, but over the last year, I have been running 3 times a week(almost entirely on pavement) so I’m not sure if that helped or hurt me.
I hear the plaintive keening of a lonely Duc. You DO know they shrivel up and wither away without proper exercise. A Ducati is a terrible thing to waste.
I’d offer to help with the lonely bikes but Ducatis breakdown if I get anywhere near them. Course I don’t think it’s just me.
A Ducati is a terrible thing to waste.
Now that there is yer liberal empathy on display.
Your generous sympathy towards the plight of my motorcycles has been duly noted. 🙂
I’m not allowed to have a motorcycle.
I almost talked her into letting me get an old Triumph or Norton because the thing would never actually run so she wouldn’t have to worry about me actually riding it.

Nope, it aint you.

Oh they’ll run all right, just not for long. If you want a genuine British bike oil spot on your garage floor, I recommend a vintage Triumph. None does it better.
At the risk of derailing the motorcycle talk, I have an important question. Do we get to pick which rockstar we are? Because if so, I totally want to be Miley Cyrus[1]. Twerking looks fun.
[1] Shut up. She fills stadiums.
Most. Awkward. Threadkill. EVAR.
Lurk at that, another lurker de-lurking! Saw your previous post, Cerb, and now that I’ve got cash again I’ve sent a little bit your way.
Anyway, been there, done that. The homelessness thing, I mean. And the worry about soon-to-be homelessness. And the relief at something — anything — working out in my favor, even for a short time. Plus, your posts are often the high point of my day! Not much better than some biting sarcasm, plenty of snark, absurdity, and aware-of-trans*-issues hyperbole with my morning coffee to get my eyes open and my head on straight (no hetero, obvi!)
And it don’t bother me
If people think I’m funny,
‘Cause I’m a big rock star

Whatever appetite I may have been in tenuous possession of, has now escaped my grasp.
I could stand to lose a couple of pounds anyway…

I have a 2007 Thruxton (vintage-looking cafe racer version of the Bonneville).. Simple machine, super reliable, fast enough (not “fast” fast, but fast enough for middle-aged me), bright red and drop-dead gorgeous. Whenever I ride it (not often enough, unfortunately) people ask me about it and what year it is.
The “vintage’ looking new Triumphs are a great combination of classic looks but reliable, modern engineering.
Their “new new” bikes are both pretty, and fast. And reliable. Their new triple engine is amazing. If I wasn’t too short I’d probably get rid of the Thruxton and buy one of their newer dual-sport bikes.
I see Subby is in the ad bizness.

Making it twerk, takes a little longer.
Twerking like Kirk, in the Enterprise.
Front row perk, crotch sweat spraying
My hips I do work, my grind wins the prize!
Pel-vic thrust. Packs a pretty punch.
The Who, that’s Hitler.
Oh come on, who’s gonna get that?
You did.
No, I mean what REAL person.
Rick Perry, pill-gobbling maniac:
With back problems like that, Rick Perry will never be able to twerk his moneymaker. His chances in 2016 are zero.
I suspect some were saying something like that about Junior. Beginning with St. Ronnie of Orange, the Rs have shown a marked preference for dumb, arrogant, and cruel in their presidential candidates. So Goodhair could be just perfect for them.
Nuhuh. To catch the media’s attention now, you gotta grind like a twentysomething at their first job interview. Your hips can’t lie. Twerking is the key to any successful run, even though runs are anathema to twerking.
Well at least until Miranda Cosgrove motorboats Victoria Justice on live teevees.
JFK had a notoriously bad back. Never seemed to interfere with his twerking.
Goodhair has good hair, but he is no JFK.
I will say that I am glad that twerking did not become the definitive measure of presidential potential until after Ron Paul gave up running.
as I just posted in the previous post – Sequestration (aka 20% of my net) has done a job on me otherwise I would have gladly contributed. I am glad the rest of the sadly’s were able to come through

What about the new ones ? Anybody got an opinion?
Last year I met a Brit at the far northwest point of Washington state who had shipped a Tiger 800 to L.A. and was executing a ’round the US tour, ending in NYC about six months hence. The bike looked bog standard, no fancy seat or bar-backs but he claimed it was the most comfortable bike he’d ever ridden.
He was delighted with it, was my read. He had done a similar sort of trip through Europe into Africa so I presume he knew what he was talking about.
Makes me wonder why the Long Way Round dudes didn’t get Triumph as a sponsor.
I have a 2007 Thruxton
Damn that’s a pretty bike. I realize I’m old, but to me that’s what a motorcycle looks like. Not a chopper wannabe and not a rice-rocket.
Makes me miss my Kawasaki triple, as evil-handling as it was.
I hear you on the “look” of that Thruxton. It’s just not for me. My 2001 Dyna Wide Glide was a fearsome beast that I commuted on 59 miles each way (in 45 minutes especially in the evening..heheh) for 5 years. I miss that thing, but am getting a Subaru XV Crosstrek later this week. Missus says something about blah blah “less likely to crash” blah blah somethingerrother. But I have insurance!!!

Hiya, Provider! Meant to respond to yer shout-out a few threads back. Glad to see you have assumed the mantle of Sadlyburg’s Lurker Encourager!
Also: After 25 years in Charm City, I finally pulled up stakes and made the move to Albuquerque this summer. So far, life seem to be Breaking Good for me in New Mexico. The skies are magical.

Who will have Ted Nugent?
That depends on how I get to have him. If we’re talking about his head on a pike I think we can do business.
The newer Triumphs are generally very good machines. I’ve had an itch for the Street Triple for a while now. My nephew rides a Daytona 675 – it’s a VERY hot machine. I know a couple guys who ride the hell out of their Tigers. I’d buy one without hesitation.
Spanish Kittens!
“I think Iowans would definitely give [Rick Perry] a second chance,” Vander Plaats says.
“I think a lot of people know that he had the back surgery” and was on painkiller drugs, Vander Plaats adds. “I don’t know what you’re [Perry] doing anyway,” he comments. “If you can’t drive a car, you probably shouldn’t run for president,” he says of Perry. But Texas’ success in recent years remains a “great story” — and despite his failed run, Perry could still appeal to Iowans.
If Rick Perry wasn’t so stupid, he’d be able to pop pills and still speak coherently. I think everyone gets that. And the right is perfectly happy to listen to junkies run their mouths, but Perry is no Limbaugh. Did I mention that Perry is stupid?
Rick Perry is Pennis?

You aren’t gonna roast it and eat it are you? I’m as fond of roasted pig head as the next guy but that there is diseased.
Yeah, that’s pretty much what sold me on it too, it just “looks right.”
Unfortunatley it’s really fucking uncomfortable. I really need to switch out the clip-ons and get bars that are a few inches higher. My wrists are shot after 100 miles, and that’s just not right. The newer models have done away with the clip-ons in favor of normal bars for just that reason.
You aren’t gonna roast it and eat it are you?

Not in this thread, perhaps, but I wonder what sort of nasty-ass mangoes are plopping to the ground on the 50th anniversary of the “I Have a Dream” speech.

I totally want to be Miley Cyrus[1]. Twerking looks fun.
she’s a little runty…don’t you need to have an ass to actually twerk?
may i just stop by to say: POOP!
Shorter POOP link:
Y’all don’t know squat.
Funny, I used to work with a glibertarian douchebag (why yes, he was an engineer, why do you ask?) who used to rage against the ADA (among many, many other things) because handicap toilets were too tall as the proper posture for POOPing was the squat. He had a little stool (heh) he used to take into the toilet with him so he could get his feet up and squat properly.
He was still full of shit.
she’s a little runty…don’t you need to have an ass to actually twerk?
It is a revolutionarily new world. Assless twerkers can rest their hands on their knees and forego the double hand job motion. Sure there are old skule purists who deny twerking unless the proper Gainax bounce is evident, but those folks are joyless gits. I say hooray to more inclusive twerking.
Someone had a reading comprehension FAIL. Again.
He was still full of shit.
That there is a whole world, or 2/3 of one anyway, that uses squat toilets has doubtless escaped his notice. He could start with Thailand. It’s a good gateway country for jerks.
Man. All this time I thought I was a squat-to-piss homo and it turns out I wasn’t even squatting.
Don’t abandon us Matt Furey threaders!
Assless twerking VMA Miley is annoying and unsexy, and I haven’t even seen the clip. Same goes for Madonna kissing girls.
Don’t abandon us Matt Furey threaders!
Wow, that is a very special thread. Not much like the S,N! I know.
You’re just a run of the mill Sitzpinkler, Mr. McGravitas. IF that’s your REAL name.
Just a comment about Miley Cyrus’ unsexy twerking. That means she’s doing it right. Twerking is not supposed to be sexy[1]. Does it imply sex? Not really. Not any more than the phrase “fuck off” implies sex[2].
This would be a good spot to link Nekesa Mumbi Moody’s Your Zumba teacher says, “OK ladies — now it’s time to twerk!” article, but it’s an AP piece and linking is discouraged. Link to AP article.
[1] Some caveats here. Yes, there is the Rule 34 observation that everything is somebody’s fetish. And the physical and primal nature of dance itself means there’s always a hint of sex. And of course there are those folks who are just sexy beasts and everything they do is sexy. But generally speaking, twerking is not sexy.
[2] Although to be fair, the phrase “fuck off” implies “no sex” more than twerking does.
Completely missed the VMAs – no TeeVee.

i dunno…maybe mail slots are socialist and you will be saved by obama’s socialist regime!
Coffee kitten
The fact is, the proof that inefficiency goes hand-in-hand with socialism is that we haven’t all been killed.
Obama is a lousy, rotten commie! Seriously, the worst commie I have ever seen. If he were a good commie, would the Koch brothers have been able to double their worth, raking in about 2 billion dollars a year, while Obama’s been president? Would the top 20% be getting about 600 billion in government subsidies? We definitely need to elect a better commie next election.
I thought the Soviets would’ve been assembled by now. Obama is just another Capitalist running dog.
here’s a helpful guide…
Ok. Red, blue, yellow and pink. I’m still not clear on which means what, but then the wingnuts don’t seem to be too clear on that either. I guess I’ll just put one of each on my mailbox. And perhaps the mailbox of all in my neighborhood that had a Ron Paul yard sign last election.
Red, blue, yellow and pink.
Clearly:
Red — gets sent to the “Russian-style commie” FEMA re-education camp.
Blue — Democrat commie camp.
Yellow — Asian commie camp.
Pink — Gaygaygay commie camp.
That way once re-education is over we’ll have a nice representative cross-section of all the different kinds of commies we need. At least that’s what’s in the memo I got.
The Soviets, prior to collapse, managed to become a world power in remarkably short order. If the U.S. has the better politics and economy, and a better overall starting position than post-1917 Russia, one wonders why we can’t make some sort of Great Leap Forward.
I think the answer is that we can Leap, and may be Leaping, but that the benefits, power, and money are going to a very few, at the expense of both the people and the national interest, however reasonable people might define such a thing.
A more nuanced view of centralized vs. distributed power and planning is in order. As it is I wouldn’t be too surprised if the U.S. was crippled in this century, by organized folks able to conceive and execute a game of decades, in the face of our smug elites’ certainty that their foes’ models will fail before our weaknesses (what?!) can be exploited.
Russia was already a world power. It’s huge (ELEVEN TIME ZONES) and has lots of resources including people they were willing to spend like water.
I dunno enough about Czarist Russia’s relative position to gauge their place in the geopolitics of the day. I’ll hazard that its industrialization was a shadow of Britain or Germany, in spite of Russia’s human and natural resources. Until the worst economic model ever ™ took over.
Yes, it was in bad shape, but it still spanned Asia into Europe and while the Russian revolution was happening it was fighting in the first world war. I don’t think you can treat an empire that huge as anything other than a world power (though neither the WWI effort or the Japanese war before it went well).
Red — gets sent to the “Russian-style commie” FEMA re-education camp.
Blue — Democrat commie camp.
Yellow — Asian commie camp.
Pink — Gaygaygay commie camp.

He said his comments would have been no different had the president been Mitt Romney. “I would say, ‘Shoot the n***** because white people are n******, too.” He said where he comes from (Massachusetts) black people call white people by the same slur.
Marston epitomizes the Tea Party, of course, but what strikes me is how he goes from declaring that he’s a “forward man” who says what he means, to bullshit lies (see above). He goes from “I should have chosen my words more carefully” to a deluge of poorly-chosen words. He’s a mess, and not a hot one.
He said where he comes from (Massachusetts) black people call white people by the same slur.

Not to be a history nerd, but you do realize that China’s Great Leap Forward resulted in about 20 million Chinese starving to death, right?
What part is he from? Nuh-uh-hant? Way-off-land? Lie-coln?
He’s from just down the road from Barnstable, a little town called Unstable.
Or, perhaps he’s from Marblehead.
Hee hee, now I want to always pronounce unstable like Barnstable.
“but you do realize”
Yes, of course. I should not have used that phrase. As the nation with all the answers, and all the Americans, we should be able to succeed where other nations fail, by starving millions of citizens for example.
Failed liberal policies are holding us back, would be the wingnut explanation. They would like to see experiments as radical as Mao’s but different in substance.

Are the Tzars the same as the Csars?
You throw to-may-to

Let’s call the whole thing off.
I admit that I am not an articulate poster. I tend to ramble or post non-sequiturs on the comparatively rare occasions that I post. Your command of snark and general eloquence leaves me in awe. Unfortunately sequestration (big hint as to who I work for) leaves me strapped. In any other situations, I would be there in a heartbeat.
