Hah hah hah!!

oops, i didn’t say that.

Wedding pictures are off limits. Can’t you photoshop in some relatively undamaged mosques from Irackeystan?

If you post pictures of yourself on the Intertubes wielding a lightsaber at your own wedding, you are inviting ridicule. It’s kind of like goth kids– if you walk around dressed up like a rubber-clad assrocket, you waive your right to not be made fun of.

jesus god, a new thread.
if i never walk through the mall with my alinsky thesis carefully hidden under my mock tranny fat suit again, it’ll be too soon for me.

You may claim the mantle of victimhood if you like, I’m still holding out for the hearth of darkness.

i don’t need a cure!

I am not ashamed to admit that I have a pretty big collection of cheap toy lightsabers.

There is not a single picture of me wielding one in existence, however. I may be a dork, but I’m not a dumb dork.

Don’t you mock me, either.

but you can mock me for being unable to close tags properly.

That’s just reasonable.

while I have no lightsabers, toy or otherwise, I will confess a weakness for machetes. [buttheadvoice] Machetes are coool[/ buttheadvoice].

mikey

I’d speak of the various original SW toys n such around me this moment, but, well….

If they’re gonna freak out over this, does that mean I can finally make a stink about the time Pam Atlas had her pic taken with Elvis Costello?

when i was a bartender at the abortatorium, i had to eighty-six tacky because he waves that light-sabre around after three zimas. and then he wouldn’t pay his tab. what an ass-tiara.

The mantle of victimhood?
The Burberry raincoat of passive-aggression?
The heavy scarlet-lined Victorian cape of Bulwer-Lyttonation?

Decisions, decisions…

dok, it’s chilly, i’d go with the heavy bulwer-lyttonation, and red is your color.

“Andre, a simple peasant, had only one thing on his mind as he crept along the east wall: ‘Andre creep… Andre creep… Andre creep…'”

“Just beyond the Narrows the river widens.”

Jeebus. Have you read the threads at hotair? They’re *freaking out.* It’s weird, given that Stark was the guy beaten up for asking questions at George Allen’s campaign event…

They’re all like, “No righties would ever do that!” Anyone remember the guy who did exactly the same thing to Paul Krugman, then wrote a column called “Stalking Paul Krugman”? And then

What about Chad Castagna? Funny, I googled “Chad Castagna” and “Hot Air” and found no criticism of their reader who actually sent ANTHRAX to

At least this isn’t like where they imagined the NYTimes freelancer was trying to kill Dick Cheney by publishing a Secret-Service-approved photo of his house in a puff piece…

Anyone got any other examples of righties stalking people or generally being violent?

Sorry, finishing comment in paragraph 2.

“And then when Paul Krugman referred to him as a stalker–the title DONALD LUSKIN himself had chosen for himself–Luskin threatened to sue.”

Idiots. Fear nuts. Wankers.

Hey, I was just getting my truck fixed and smoking a cig outside and —

BZZZZMMMMZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

BLARGH, a trick CREATURE! AIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—

……….

I’m actually a bit of a Star Wars fan myself– original trilogy only. I did receive a toy lightsaber as a Christmas gift a few years ago and still have it. I don’t bust it out too often, though, and certainly wouldn’t:

A. Bring it to my wedding
B. Allow myself to be photographed at my wedding with it
C. Post the pictures of myself wielding it at my wedding on the Intertubes
D. Complain about someone making fun said pictures

I remember when I was six, I had a cheap knockoff lightsaber that was basically a flashlight with a translucent white tube attached to it. I don’t think it was a Kenner-approved “official” Star Wars toy. Beauty thing was, by sticking a light gel in front of the bulb, you could make it any color. My mom worked at a sound and lighting place, so I had green, red, purple, orange, blue… the whole lot. Me and my little friends would beat the hell out of each other with those things.

It was the best toy ever. When I was six.

That HTML/Retardo is a hottie.

I suppose Trevino will say you photoshopped that from his wedding picture. Right. Is there a female on the planet who would have sexual congress with him?

JK47 — Nooo . . . the very first official lightsabres totally were flashlights with tubes attached to them. I still have mine. And my action figures. And a complete set of the original blue bubblegum cards.

And I even have a picture of myself dressed like a Jawa standing next to the neighbor boy in Sand Raider gear. But it was Halloween in, uh, 1977, I guess.

Sexy Older Woman — The lookism here is intolerable . . . insoutenable!!!

HTML looks like a crack head. No offense to any crackheads.

Anyone got any other examples of righties … generally being violent?

World War II

Sure, you say ‘no offense’, but you just don’t care about the collateral damage you inflict on your crackhead allies.

Actually, he’s not after HTML Menken, he’s about to break into that truck and steal the beaded seat cover.

Actually, look at the way he’s holding that saber. The whole scene looks kinda Brokeback to me.

I just want to say here: You should see the pic we didn’t use.

Maybe I can post it here for like 5 minutes, then take it down before you-know-who shows up.

Doop-doop-doop, let’s see if this works…

[CENSORED]

I just want to say here: You should see the pic we didn’t use.

Bobbi Fleckman: Ian, you put a greased-naked woman on all fours, with a dog collar around her neck, with a man’s hand pushing a black glove in her face for her to sniff it. You don’t find that sexist? You don’t find that offensive?

Ian Faith: You should have seen the cover they wanted to do. It wasn’t a glove, believe me.

I can’t find it but anyone remeber that thug at the 2004 RNC that stomped on a Codepink(?) protestor?

No, sir! I didn’t see you playing with you dolls again.

or remember, whichever one works for you. jeebus, protester

I like the one you ended up using better.

Not only for the “OOOOH NOOOOES LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU”, desolate slasher-flick vibe, but, really, because in the unused one, the sabre (a light source) casts a pretty heavy shadow.

fuck, your

I quit.

Yeah, but the photorealism…

Maybe I’m just in love with it for technical reasons. It’s hard to make a p-shop image look totally banal and ordinary like that.

The shadows aren’t finished, but…well, whatever.

I knew we couldn’t use it because Tacky would go apeshit.

HTML, wash your hair and take your hands out of your pockets.

You look like you sleep in your clothes.

annie, actually, i did sleep in those clothes. that pic was taken on a beach at night. it was cold and I was very high.

It’s hard to make a p-shop image look totally banal and ordinary like that.

Damn skippy. Putting aside the shadow, the composition, color temp matching, etc. is (as usual) right the hell on.

Now, can I get the sabre in cornflower blue…?

Well, that goes to show I’m always right, doesn’t it?

Yeah, but you’re fat.

Stop flirting with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, can I get the sabre in cornflower blue…?

Hmm. Yeah. Hang on.

the hanging light is totally crooked!

[CENSORED]

To be finished, it would also need some edge work around Mencken’s clothes.

Sigh.

They have the same color hair.

Step-child red.

and the tilted room is totally batman.

red on the head means fire in the hole, annie.

you fatty.

I’m flummoxed by the idea of someone wielding a light saber at a wedding in the first place. At his own wedding, in fact. Was it a wedding like this one?

http://www.uglydress.com/klingonwedding.html

I think if you’re stupid enough to post a photo of yourself with a light saber on line, you forfeit the right to bitch about what anyone does with it.

Fire in the hole????

NO GAY BASHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crooks & Liars coming through, so bad Tacky pix must come down….

Now this is some seriously deranged SadNo action. Mmm-hmm.

Crooks & Liars coming through, so bad Tacky pix must come down….

I missed out. Was he, um, portly or something?

Mikey, when’s your birthday?

Or maybe, roadtrip!

After all that bleating about STEALING TREVINO’S WEDDING PHOTO, it turns out that pic wasn’t even taken at his freakin’ wedding. It was taken at a dinner the DAY AFTER his wedding.

So said Gromit, in comments to a Hilzoy post at Obsidian Wings.

Anyone remember the guy who did exactly the same thing to Paul Krugman, then wrote a column called “Stalking Paul Krugman�?

Gollum Luskin? Oh yes.

Note: Allahpundit confirms that Michelle didn’t recognize Stark when they posed for the photo, and that he presented himself in friendly terms. Stalking.
==================================================
They so DESPERATELY want to be victims…

I made a better picture of that HTML Munchkin guy.

http://missannieangel.blogspot.com/2007/03/blah-blah-blah.html

I WIN.

I sense anti-redhairism in the comments here. I don’t have red hair, but I will not sit idly by while the affliction of red hair is openly mocked and derided as being the hair color of homosexuals, fat people, ugly people and evil people. Comments like that are simply impermissible. I expected more from you, Gavin. Really, I did.

In the good old days, red headed children were drowned at birth.

Let’s all chip in and buy Tacky a tee shirt.

I would just like to also say that Mencken is a hotty. This, coming from a straight man.

I do love me some red hair.

I’ve read only as much Wingnut posts about the Stark/Malkin thing, and it’s amazing the frison of fear and outrage that’s surging through Right Wing World, based on, er… not so much.

Someone posted about the scareyness of Stark crashing the conference, some brave Wingnut confronting him, and then Stark haranguing Malkin. With links, going to what I presumed was eyewitness accounts of said confrontations and harangues. T confrontation link went to a description of a conversation about military recruiters. The harangue link went to Stark’s HuffPo blog.

So…in Right Wing World, it’s a really scarey thing for a political blogger to register for a Conference, pay his fees, and pick up his badge and attend and then write about it.

Actually having red hair – large amounts of red hair, actually – I’m gonna let y’all in on a little secret inre anti-redheadism. To wit: we know all y’all just jealous of how goddamn pretty we are. Country boys who have long red hair and smoke a lot of funny-smelling cigarettes and really dig music are people of character, scientific fact.

Dunno if he counts, but HTML looks sorta like my little cousin Jon. Course, he’s 17 so he ain’t so little anymore. He’s dumber than a stump, too, bless his heart, and I know that’s a mean thing to say about family and I do love my cousin, but Lord God, that boy ain’t bright. I just shake my head with wonder sometimes.

Am I the only one who thinks that bringing a lightsaber to a wedding is, like, the only thing in this Tacitus guy’s plus column?

I’m not a Star Wars dork–well, no more than most guys in their early to mid thirties–but I find it ingratiating. I’d go with Chewie’s crossbow myself, and I don’t know the backstory, but if the bride was cool with it, then hey.

Tacitus, you’re a sociopath,* but take up that ‘saber and wield away, my friend. Wield away.

*I mean clinically. He gets lumped in with the other “I’m a out ya” dicks, but I honestly think he is one.

The coolest thing about my wedding (and the only thing I had any control over, truth to tell) was the “Check Your Weapons” table at the front enterance. Most folks didn’t bring weapons to my wedding, but nonetheless, I felt it provided the right atmosphere…

mikey

Firecrotch, it burns. Red is evil. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.
evil.

Now back into the first beautiful weekend night of the year.

That HTML/Retardo is a hottie… I suppose Trevino will say you photoshopped that from his wedding picture. Right. Is there a female on the planet who would have sexual congress with him?

SexyOlderWoman, I agree! As for Trevino, I am told that women marry Reichtards because it doesn’t happen very often, and even then it only takes 10 minutes maximum, assuming they can figure out where to put it in the first place. I wouldn’t know, because I may be a natural redhead but I have *some* standards, thank you very much…

I remember when I was six, I had a cheap knockoff lightsaber…

Arrrgh, I was in college when the first SW pic came out. (And I was a Trekkie, and we made fun of the Star Warts.) Get off my lawn, you little punk!

I feel so disadvantaged, being down here at the arse end of the world: all the fun happens while I sleep! I want that pic, Gavin, I wanna wanna wanna…waaaaaah!

On a different note, judeanpeoplesfront, howsyer botty? I keep tellin’ you, man, it’s the weeny ones ya gotta watch out for. Well, weeny and bright blue. Or red. Or any other bright colour, really.

Oh, and the big grey toothy ones. And the tiny black and red ones. And the long thin black or brown or stripey ones. And the big black fangy ones with hairy legs. And the ones with no legs but some fringey floaty bits. And a few others too.

Damn, as well as being in the socially-inept time zone, I’m in a country where it’s a miracle if you survive to adulthood.

Oh, and Star Wars stuff is cool (first trilogy only). Adults playing with Star Wars toys may be cool, depending. Right wing nutcases are not cool, regardless. Right wing nutcases flexing their knees and pushing out their pelvis into that Time Warp Thrust are definitely so uncool as to be approaching the Uncool Event Horizon.

Hey check out the stalker guys blog! He has more pictures up of other people he stalked, and um, he dyed his hair in between the pictures, as if he was trying to disguise himself.

What a freak!

The lizards descended on Stark’s blog and called him out for being a stalker over and over and over. Good fun was had by all!

Mikey, our wedding invitations said “Costumes encouraged”, so we all had a pretty good time. (Although one of the groomsmen didn’t show up because we wouldn’t let him wear his favorite skirt. It wasn’t so much that the tartan clashed with our wedding costumes — although that particular tartan clashes with everything — but nobody wanted to see his lumpy, milk-white kneecaps when the rest of us were trying to enjoy our dinners.) Now I wish we’d also thought to add “weapons will be peace-bonded”, although that might have confused the token Normals…

Annie, I don’t think Mike dyed his hair. I think you’re looking at the people who stood next to them. If you look closer, you’ll notice not only did the hair change, but so did the faces…. 😉

Stood next to “him.” Ho hum. Whatever.

Huh? The dude that is standing next to MM, has his dark hair, the same dude in the two top photos has grey hair.

What’s up with that? It’s creepy.

I keep tellin’ you, man, it’s the weeny ones ya gotta watch out for. Well, weeny and bright blue. Or red. Or any other bright colour, really.

Damn, as well as being in the socially-inept time zone, I’m in a country where it’s a miracle if you survive to adulthood.

Qetesh, am I a bad person if I thought for a minute you were describing the variety of Reichtards?

Oh, and have you read Terry Prachett’s THE LOST CONTINENT? He has a very funny riff on the non-dangerous inhabitants of that happy island (punch line: “Some of the sheep”), as well as the best explanation for the platypus that I’ve yet to encounter.

No. Gingers are teh hawt. Just not Tacky.

I think the pictures are taken from different days. Either the lighting is different or the convention has aged the poor guy.

He’s wearing a suit to greet Dinesh D’Souza and Bill Bennett but is wearing casual friday to ham it up with John O’Neill (Swift Boat dude) and (urk) stalkin Malkin.

Look out, Annie! The hair, it’s coming to get you. It’s creepy!

ZOMG, cover your legs and run!!! 😀

I agree that they are probably taken on different days.

But he dyed his hair and his beard. It’s not the lighting.

He was disguising himself and that’s just plain weird.

He should get a disguise that doesn’t make him look like a deranged moonbat stalker! Highlighting or covering up the gray just doesn’t cover the unhinged visage!

It sure does add to it, though.

In the good old days, red headed children were drowned at birth.

Yeah, and in the good old days, fat little Thalidomide babies like you were fed into the incinerator.

YOU try walking around the mall as a redhead and see how people treat you!

And the big black fangy ones with hairy legs
Here Qetesh is describing the Australian Funnelweb Octopus. You also may encounter the Australian Redback Octopus, and the Taipan, which according to Wikipedia is the world’s third most toxic variety of Legless Land Octopus.

WOW, check his blog now! He wants money, LOTS OF IT from you good guys.

If you give him money, he promises , “That’d definitely keep me attending these things, exposing the hypocrisy and haters on the right” LOL.

Did you read his post about :

“I’d look for the most attractive college republican girls standing with their boyfriends. I always tried to do it when there was a group of six or eight – 3 or 4 couples…

Essentially the tactic was to approach the girls, say something self-deprecating about me being an old guy and not hitting on them – I’m not a pervert – (now they’re laughing) – but that, (and this part is true), of all the political conventions I’ve been to, the prettiest women were at this one. The beauty quotient really was impressive. Now that they are really warming up to me, I pounce.

Given the fact that these young women are so attractive, I thought it might help out the guys they are with if the girls shared with us what they found attractive in a “REALâ€? man…”

Come ON people, I mean, REALLY, what is UP with this guy????

http://www.callingallwingnuts.com/

Check out his blog. It’s not very sane.

Anne Laurie, no, I don’t think you’re a bad person for confusing my descriptions with those of this continent’s Reichtards. Although in that case I’d have to include “eyebrows that double as a large verandah”, in honour of our Prime Monster.

Yes, I’ve read The Last Continent, and I think Terry Pratchett is the modern day version of Jonathan Swift: a marvellous social satirist and piss-funny. And he’s completely right about ‘some of the sheep’, although we also have a few trees that don’t bite, sting, or otherwise ruin your day. Oh, and myself and my sister Luschka, who keep our l33t danger skillz under wraps. Bed linen, usually.

Good Herr Doktor, well-spotted. You missed the White Pointer Octopus, however. September is always a jolly month, with keen expectation as to when the first “Swimmer/surfer/diver/pedestrian taken by shark” article will hit. Betting may occur. (Note for Northerners: Southern summer begins officially on December 1, but beach weather starts around September, and continues through until about April. Be envious)

I also missed the Bird-Eating Spider Octopus, found in the rainforests up North. This is a little beauty, apparently: a friend of mine went bushwalking one day, walked into the web, and bounced. The spider’s big enough to eat a bird, and is about half the size of my lovely self. That’s a fucker that you do not want to tangle with.

No offense, Annie. But show me a blog that does look sane. Yours?

Richard, don’t be difficult.

No. Gingers are teh hawt. Just not Tacky.

There’s auburn, and there’s ginger.

Speaking of sane. Plenty of testosterone flowing at Hot Air. Plenty of MM fans volunteering to become part of her defense posse. Example:

Another problem with “volunteering� to guard Michelle, or anyone else, is that you stand a chance of ending up in prison. Should someone attack Michelle and should any of us intervene, the perp can easily be found to be a victim, and the persons who rescue Michelle could be found the be culpable of some offense.

I’d like to either volunteer or hire out to set up security for Michelle and others, and also to personally oversee her direct safety, yet I have a family, a wife and three children, and I would not wish to end up in prison for protecting her or Coulter, or Limbaugh, or anyone else. The law is not always fair or just, and many a good Samaritan is in prison for doing the right thing.

That sounds rational. Leave security to the experts, please.

I like the guys who tell how tall they are and how much they weigh. Hehehe.

” I second this….If I were close to DC, I would be more than happy to stand guard for Michelle. I think my 6′ 235 lb former college athlete frame would give freaks like this chump a reason to think twice before trying something stupid. I thank God every morning for people like Michelle who bring us the truth about so much.

Wimp.

I am informed that i shouldn’t use the term “fatty Mclardington squishy-squoosh fat fat greasy bouncy gelatinous fat oleaginous fatty fat porker cetaceanous Gorjirraesque fat DeGianormous fatty” if I want Gavin to e-tube me the pix he pulled down. Since I’m not Josh Trevino.

Whoops!

Whoops! indeed, Marq. You have one too many ‘fat’s in there: never more than four, treasure.

These conventions are hardly exclusive affairs. Entry isn’t controlled, & anyone can wander into the Omni Shoreham & gawk. I live a few blocks away, & did, & presently came upon 4 Presidential candidates (Romney, Giuliani, Brownback, Gilmore), & God knows how many stars, poets & thinkers. Most of them were stumbling around, pressing on flesh like it was a late ‘70s bathhouse (ie, vigorously, serially, anonymously), taking pictures with whoever wanted one, no questions asked.

In that environment, Malkin is distinctly a lesser celebrity. While the TV crews were shining their floodlights on the candidates, & Ann Coulter was bringing fag-hag trash talk to the corn-fed future of the conservative movement, she was off in a corner quietly dancing on a sensor-embedded mat, trying to follow the lead of the animated robot that was break-dancing on the TV screen in front of her. It’s hard to believe that any stalker would have the heart to interfere with that.

Are ginger beards OK?

There’s auburn, and there’s ginger.

I forget- which are the ones with no souls?

Hate to say it but she ain’t so hot.

That little pig nose of her’s is so ugly.

You’d think being married into money and real power she would get that ugly little pig nose fixed ?

Doesn’t she get the fact she’s Hi So now ??

It realy ruins her whole face.

I’ve been workin in SEA for a few decades now and the PI has millions of little pig noses just like her.

She is really nothing special.

i did sleep in those clothes. that pic was taken on a beach at night. it was cold and I was very high.

Beach blanket bong out!

mikey-

“most” people didn’t bring weapons to your wedding?

You, my friend have indeed lived an interesting life.

The only remarkable thing about my wedding was we had a polka band with a leader who played the clarinet with a hunch- he’d had a mild stroke- and as the night wore on, they got as drunk as the crowd, so at one point, I am actually convinced they were not allplaying the same song.

Harley Metzger and His Band of Renown, yes indeed.

Doesn’t she get the fact she’s Hi So now ??

Malkin loves these comments, ’cause her boys can take them out of context and say how racist the left is. Just sayin’.

God forbid someone should attend a political conference and talk with people! How creepy is that???

awesome job Gavin. I like the interplays of the reds through the picture – the truck sign, the taillight, the lightsaber. It’s art, man.

I’m sad I missed the one you didn’t use.

Good point Kathleen. Gavin M.: the Titian of Photoshop.

Here’s a question. That phone # in the photoshopped pic up there… it isn’t, minus the area code… possibly… maybe… Trev–
