Gotta keep China happy, after all.

[JeffR]

7. You're all doing great so far.

But how about some accusations of trollery? Always livens up a "discussion".

[HCE SuiGeneris]

138. Why are you wasting my time with arguing?

I don't have time to respond to stupid posts like this. So, next time, make sure there is something worthy OF MY SPECIALNESS to reply to. People that argue and bluster on internet boards are beyond help, let me tell you!

[PBS Poll-435]

10. Your wish....

Your trolling is tiresome and drab.

I have hit the alert button. I didn't leave a message, but I believe the OP speaks for itself.

:grr:

[JeffR]

12. Cool!

I'm sure it's deadsville for the mods since the primaries ended. They'll appreciate having something to do.

[PBS Poll-435]

14. Snarf!!!

[krispos42]

116. Locking...

Announcing you've alerted on somebody is against DU rules. Skinner's Secret Service will be at your house momentarily. You can save time, money, and effort by simply sticking a fork in the electrical outlet prior to their arrival, otherwise they'll bill you for the taser batteries.

And thank you for your support.

29. careful, getting back in will make you LOSE your perspective on life again.

I need to go on vacation again!

[JeffR]

31. What are you, George W. Bush?

There's no time for vacations. People are wrong on the internets!:scared:

[Muttocracy]

35. oh, a chance to post my two favorite cartoons from DU

And on that note, I DO need some sleep!

[JeffR]

38. Just come back tomorrow rested, refreshed and ready for rage.

[Muttocracy]

150. I only wish I knew the cartoonists to credit them; I saw 'em on DU. nt

[emilyg]

33. Don't tell me what to do.

;)

[scarletwoman]

34. May I call someone a fucking dolt?

I wanted so badly to call this one poster a fucking dolt, but I had to backspace and delete what I wrote because I didn't want my whole post to be deleted.

But the fucking asshole really deserved it because he totally WAS a fucking dolt and his stupid fucking arguments were fucking idiotic and he fucking totally pissed me off with his fucking arrogance and all-around jerk-offedness and I really really wanted to call him a fucking dolt as he so richly deserved. But I couldn't, Dammit.

[JeffR]

37. Yow.

If I act like a fucking dolt again, just PM me. It keeps the forum free for more important topics like flag pins and such.

[scarletwoman]

40. I wasn't talking about YOU, you fucking dolt!

Sheeesh!

[JeffR]

49. Aw, so that's your game?

Trapping me into a false confession and then kicking me in the ass?

On second thought, well done.

[scarletwoman]

118. Hah! Please don't make me have to turn you into a toad.

I've been reading other threads for awhile, so I'm mad enough to shoot lightning bolts out of my eyeballs and streams of fire out of my nostrils.

You do NOT want to mess with me.

Seriously. I really mean it. Really. You better believe it. I'm not kidding, dammit. So back off. Or else. Seriously.

Lightning bolts, dude. You got that? Streams of fire, man. 'n stuff...

41. how can you possibly think that

you must be (take your pick)

(1) an idiot
(2) rw troll
(3) sour from the primaries
(4) a du newbie who doesn't belong here
(5) not a true progressive
(6) not a true democrat
(7) brainwashed from the right (and sometimes left)

i'm sure i missed many - does it always feel like mom and dad are fighting here on DU??

[cliffordu]

45. YOU GO TO BED RIGHT DAMNED NOW OR I'LL GO GET YOUR MOTHER!!!

[mrs_p]

46. ohhhh - i hate you and can't wait until she leaves

you for the milkman!! :P

actually, i do need to go to bed. thanks for the reminder!

[cliffordu]

48. Actually, she and I need to talk to you about the meter maid and your mother...

[mrs_p]

130. heehee

good for her!

[laststeamtrain]

44. I think Jeff Beck is a better guitarist than Jimi, Jimmy & Eric combined.

& I don't give a flying fuck who knows it.

PS: I like chicken-fried steak. I like it when they serve the gravy under the steak so you have a little control.
I once drove from Seattle to San Diego mostly on 101. I ate Chicken-fried steak everyday. I didn't listen to any Jeff Beck on the road.

[cliffordu]

47. I agree that Jeff Beck is better than Clapton or Jimmy Page, but ya can't

really say the same thing about Jimi when they were contemporaries - Beck went on record as saying that Jimi made him re-think the way the instrument should be played - "blew my fucking mind" is I think how he put it.....

Since Jimi died - yep, Jeff Beck is the man.

I likes me some eric johnson for the smooth.

[laststeamtrain]

60. Can't say? I did say.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE STEAK???????!!!!!???????

[cliffordu]

64. All the gravy. On the top. All the time.

Just like at Threadgills, where Janis used to play....

MUUUUAAAAHAHAHAHAH

[laststeamtrain]

85. My Father's Place, Grand Ave. Portland OR.

On the breakfast menu.Anytime. Steak, three eggs (any style), fried potatoes (O'brien style w/ peppers & onions on request), choice of toast, biscuit or hotcakes. $5.95. Elvis would have trouble finishing it. Nah, not really. He could finish it.

Good juke. Old Portland stuff on the walls. Full bar.

Is Threadgill's in Austin? I know I've heard of it. I have a friend who went to UT.

Hendrix doodled around too much. Beck's so focused & musical.

I saw him in '68 with Ronnie Wood, Mick Waller & Rod 'the mod bod' Stewart. Old tube Marshals. Fawk!!!

[cliffordu]

89. Yeah, I remember that Beck album - Truth - with Rod Stewart doing vocals.

that was some fucking music, man.

I actually had that album as late as 1985, don't know what happened to it. Dammit.

[NanceGreggs]

109. Beck? Are you kids crazy?

Beck is the worst RW radio host I've ever heard, and his CNN show is a DISGRACE! I can't imagine that his guitar-playing abilities would be any better than his ability to - oh, did you say Jeff Beck?

I thought you were talking about Glenn Beck.



Oh, well that's different, then.










Nevermind.

[cliffordu]

110. Actually I thought YOU were referring to that folksinger "Beck".....

:rofl:

[NanceGreggs]

113. Who is probably negotiating with CNN ...

... for a political talk show even as we rofle!

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

115. Ya know he actually reminds me of Wolf, a little....

[laststeamtrain]

127. I'd like to see Glen Beck with an electric guitar in his hands about to step into a puddle of water.

Zorch his sorry ass from here to eternity.

Condolences to his family & all that...

[NanceGreggs]

128. Now there's one episode of his show I would watch ...

... over, and over, and over, and over again.

[DevonRex]

133. Oh yeah?? He's a rank amateur compared to Stevie Ray Vaughn.

NOBODY beats Stevie Ray. NOBODY.

So you just take your weenie Jeff Beck and stuff it, man.

Well, okay, I guess the plane crash kind of had the upper hand... But still, NOBODY beats Stevie Ray, man. NOBODY.

[stevil]

51. Will all of you please shut up?

I'm trying to watch King Kong.

[scarletwoman]

52. Nice post, Hitler.

[Divine Discontent]

124. oh please tell me you have enough taste to be watching the original

or even the campy 70's version - because the 05 version is TRASH... Drech! The special effects were the worst, well, maybe just a little better than Black's "acting".

[NanceGreggs]

53. Okay, smart ass, lets's get down to it ...

This country is going to hell in a handbasket - and I've yet to understand why, in this technological age, we are still even using handbaskets. Shouldn't the country be going to hell in a spacecraft the size of the head of a pin, that can traverse the distance between here and hell at fifty times the speed of light?

And speaking of the heads of pins (of which I was; see above), why do people insist on conjecturing how many angels can dance thereupon? They're ANGELS, for God's sake - is there no room in his Many Mansions for a proper dance-floor, maybe like the one in Saturday Night Fever?

Why are kids still described as being "as cute as a button"? Just how cute is your average button, you might well ask (and I just did). And before buttons were invented, what were kids described as being as cute as?

Where would we be now if Bell's first phone call had resulted in a busy signal? Would he have scrapped the whole idea?

And speaking of phone calls (which again, I just was - and why is no one paying attention?), who are these people with cell-phones talking to all the time? Did they feel this same urgency to yak incessantly before cell-phones were invented? If what they have to say now is so important, why can it only be conveyed while they're standing in the check-out line at the supermarket?

How can news that was "broke" two weeks ago still be late-breaking news today? And who broke it in the first place? Shouldn't important news be handled with more care?

Why do the possible side-effects of certain drugs include sudden, inexplicable death, when the condition they purport to treat has never been known to be fatal?

Now, if anyone here wants to bring it on with respect to the aforementioned, I am ready to argue to the death - or bedtime, whichever comes first.

[scarletwoman]

56. All I want to know is, where the hell are our flying cars? They PROMISED us flying cars!

I WANT MY FLYING CAR!!!!!11!!

And my personal jet pack, while we're at it...

[cliffordu]

66. I WANT MY GODDAMMED PONY!!!!

[NanceGreggs]

67. Not to mention ...

... (but I will mention it, nonetheless), those monorail highways where you could program your car's route, and then play Scrabble with your family as your vehicle delivered you to your destination in extreme safety and comfort.

I suppose it could be argued that we have a version thereof; not only can you play Scrabble, you can catch the latest movie, communicate with your stockbroker, and grill a few T-bones while en route to Grandma's house.

The only thing they left out of the equation was the part where the driver's participation was rendered unnecessary.

[cliffordu]

71. Don't worry about the driver - Jesus really DID take the wheel....

[NanceGreggs]

75. Not for nuthin' ...

... but Jesus turned out to be a very poor driver.

Maybe if he prayed to that little plastic statue of himself on the dashboard, he'd be infused with a much better sense of safe navigational skills.

[scarletwoman]

78. Oh for Christ's sake! How well would YOU drive with your hands nailed to a crossbeam?

Everyone's a critic...

[NanceGreggs]

82. Awright, God damn it ...

... I gotta give you right on that one.

Maybe he's just a bit of a show-off, what with his ability to resurrect himself in three days and all.

[scarletwoman]

101. I'll go for his water into wine bit. 'twould be especially useful at parties. (nt)

[NanceGreggs]

107. It baffled religious scholars for centuries, until ...

"Upon unearthing what is believed to be a party invitation handwritten by Jesus, the addition of the acronym BYOW validates the Lord's ability to turn water into more potent fare. The document was declared authentic when historians checked the date on the invite, which matched earlier documents showing that Joseph and Mary were out of town, attending a Carpenters' Convention that very weekend."

[cliffordu]

81. FOCK, Nance, Ya got me...Now I need to CLEAN THE DAM KEYBOARD...

Is there a recursion, or an elipsis of some kind implied in Jesus praying to a plastic (glow in the dark?) statue of Himself? Is he listening to Country Western Music on the radio?

Is this a question for a Quantum Mechanic??

Which Jesus gets to choose the station?

[NanceGreggs]

90. DUH!!!

Every Bible-lover knows that it is always Peter who gets to choose the radio station!

That's why Jesus himself said, "Upon this rock I will build my church."

He left out the "and Roll" part, but his meaning was clear.

[cliffordu]

98. Ok, Now you know I was kicked out of sunday school before we GOT to that part...

I hope you're happy.

[Divine Discontent]

120. No, one of the old popes changed the original scripture that said 'rock n roll', Nance, c'mon

every good Christian knows this... ;) You know how the church doesn't like the hip shaking rock n' roll the apostles were listening to. That was one of the first verses altered to suit the sprouting Nazarene faith! I'm shocked they haven't mess with the 10 commandments and made it 11, with "Thou shall not shake your hind quarters to rock n roll".

I thank my Lord Jesus for His sense of humor, see, He gave us right wing fanatics to mock on this site - and they are the gift that keeps on giving. God knew what He was doing!

[krispos42]

74. Wait! You're saying I can grill T-bones in the car?

I just can't picture it. Not with the dogs in the back seat.

[JeffR]

65. Hard to rebut anything you've put forward here.

So I'll just say you're an elitist and be done with it.

[NanceGreggs]

72. Fancy talk coming from ...

... an arugula purist.

[JeffR]

80. I'm not a purist.

I like my arugula with Cheez Whiz, thanks very much. And I like my lattés with a shot of Southern Comfort.

[NanceGreggs]

86. You like your arugula with a shot of Southern Comfort ...

... along with your string beans, your Reese's Pieces, and your baked potatoes. I guess I can't call you an "elitist" on that score.

[JeffR]

95. Thanks for acknowledging how the other half eats.

[Arugula Latte]

55. Open thread

[JeffR]

62. Those loose ends will be the death of you.

Mark my words.

The ambiguity leaves you wide open to accusations of flip-flopping.

[Arugula Latte]

73. Oh, please. Don't get so unraveled.

[scarletwoman]

76. Wait. Is this about string theory? I get so confused about quantum physics...

[Arugula Latte]

77. Eh ... We're just spinning yarns, here.

[JeffR]

83. Get it together, now.

[Arugula Latte]

88. Okay. I'm off to bed, where I shall sleep...Sleep, that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care.

61. I disagree.

Troll.

63. Took 61 responses for the troll accusation to appear.

I think. I only skimmed everything else, of course.

Well done.

She's giving her green party nomination speech. Am I allowed to say this here?

[cbc5g]

92. no you're banned for life

[cliffordu]

93. ...And the next life too, if Skinner is still testy over the Green party incident....

[trashcanistanista]

96. OK it's over now.
