Has the "Get a brain, Morans!" guy ever been identified?
This guy:




I mean, he started a linguistic landslide recognized not just in lefty-land, but all over the Web. Anyone know who the 'moran' is?

3. I feel sorry for him.
It's possibly the most mocked typo in history.

I bet he's cut his hair and shaved his moustache.

But he's still a dick.

off his cold, dead head before he'd shave.

38. Submit his picture to Mullets Galore
Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 04:04 PM by CottonBear
http://www.mulletsgalore.com/

The best mullet collection ever. Hours of tears rolling down your face fun is to be found here.

an example of a mullet classification: (Sorry, I don't know how to post a picture)

01. classic mullet: this specimen is a clear demonstration of a classic mullet. Note how this mullet proudly displays his exotic plumage while in a menacing stance. Classic indeed. The mesh tank-top, digital watch, silver chain, and molester mustache all add points to this fine specimen's overall look and mulletude.

Mulletude: 10
Aggressiveness: 10
Hobbies: football games, wife beating, picking fights.
Sightings: everywhere, there's no escape (see: eyes).
Favorite Band: Steve Miller Band

The "molestor mustache" almost had me spit out my drink.

He is probably proud of being ignorant and illiterate. To be otherwise would make him a librul elitist.

10. Not as far as I know. Anyone know where the pic is from even? Maybe
with a location and the name of the business in the background (Alignment Specialist), we can track him down.

Capt Moran has a shirt on, so it could be St Louis area or Arizona. The little kid has a Seattle Mariners shirt on, so I lean towards St Louis Cardinals, but who knows?

That's Highway 370 in the far background, he is protesting a pro-peace protest in front of the Boeing plant there. Its off of third street/Highway 94, guess where I live.

ON EDIT: I should have said that I believe that highway 370 is it, brain fart their, and its not in the pic but off to the left I think.

Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 03:45 PM by Solon
Or south of Highway 70, so he's probably from around there. :)

ON EDIT: FYI I live NORTH of I-70 off of Harry S. Truman Road, it stops at the "Union/Confederate" line of the state.

His package is so precious he has it padlocked. I just hope he didn't have to go to the bathroom all that often and if so, that he did not wait until the last minute.

25. If we know what town he was in,
we could put a little classified ad in the local paper, looking for him (of course he might not live there).

If he could be found, we should invite him to pen a short message for posting here on DU, in which he could explain whether he still feels like the invasion was a good idea, and if so, why (and why he's not enlisted and defending our freedom in Iraqnam).

I'd actually love to know what he's thinking now.

"'Merica! Fuck Yeah!"

Honestly though he's probably got no idea his picture has been circulating the net and mocked. As long as the Fox news is on and the cold budweiser is in the fridge, it's all good.

He's an embarassment not only to the US, not only to the "business in front, recreation in the rear" hair movement, but also to the St. Louis Cardinals.

these cowardly uberpatriots and tie them to the front of our Bradleys and Strykers over in Iraq? You know, for extra bullet buffering a la The Road Warrior?

Then they could be REALLY proud of "pertecktin' our boahs on th'gray-ound in Eye-rack."
