... if he has any testicles.

Her marriage to Meade has really messed her up.

Poor debbie hardly knows the half of it.

Lesson #1: Don't feed the trolls.

ricpic said...

debbie's claim warrants a separate thread to "flesh out" the details.

Testicles was Pericles' enforcer.

bagoh20 said...

The humor on that side is slim and rarely leaves the personal hatred realm.

Much brighter over here in every sense of the word.

Fred4Pres said...

John, you can do it. You really can. Just go for it!

bagoh20 said...

What about the effects on Meade? Nobody cares if the man is destroyed, he did volunteer.

Exception #1: If it amuses me.

...if there is a [bare] testicle...

"If there is a testicle . . ."

The Tea Partiers should resuscitate "The Bear" ad. It's a clever retort to the accustation that they see socialists and communists everywhere.

wv: stulin. "Stulin. That cuddley Russian bear."

He's just jealous because Welch didn't invite him into the jacuzzi with Kaus and Volkoh.

Heh. I don't think that's it.

Wow....

Gives new meaning to his blog-

Balloon Juice.

Death by Hot Wheels.

Completely off topic, but very funny Passover parody songs. If singing the Passover story to the theme of Gilligan's Island can't make you laugh, nothing will.

And these people think they're smarter than everybody else?

I'll bet RememberNovember is the hit of the party at SEIU meetings.

I’m not sure if it is possible to take your own life by repeatedly slamming your testicles in a closing car door, but I would rather die that way by my own hand than spend one minute watching Matt Welch and Ann Althouse on Bloggingheads TV.

Um... dude. Just don't watch the video. It's a free internet after all. I mean, I avoid watching videos every day, all without slamming any body part of mine in a car door. Well, that could happen, but it wouldn't have anything to do with not wanting to watch a video on the internet.

Normally I'm a "blog about anything you want to" but that seems to me to be a prime example of a useless blog post. It's not even a good insult -- the only response to "I'd rather commit suicide in the most painful way I can think of than engage in a fairly innocuous activity!" (like, say, watching a video on the internet) is to back away slowly, hoping you don't set him off. Then again, I must admit that I'd rather have my head sawn off by a fanatical Muslim terrorist than watch Chris Matthews on tv. Oh wait -- no I wouldn't.

SteveR said...

Oddly I've learned to avoid things that conjure up thoughts about things like crushing my testicles. Why would someone who thinks they are smart admit to letting that happen?

I'm Full of Soup said...

Most liberal men are pussies so testicles, for them, are in the lockbox.

I have this vague recollection that Cole was once worth reading.

Anyone else remember that?

John Cole or Juan Cole?

master cylinder said...

my 2 favorite bloggers! linking to each other

Chennaul said...

Obviously he has the hots for Matt Welch and wishes he didn't.

Hence the nutcracker via auto.....

Ooooh "autoerotica".....yuck again!

wv:curednuo

traditionalguy said...

The braggadocio of Cole is a boring thing to watch. He just says that another writer that he cannot compete with is "Sickening" to him and to his friends. Is that like a religious group shunning? Maybe since he cannot think of any thing to say his writer's block makes him want to Castrate himself. He needs a psychological help.

Fred4Pres said...

Off topic, this may be a parody but it is funny.

If real it is a good argument for private and parochial schools.

HT to Glenn Reynolds for finding this nugget of fun.

Trooper York said...

Yes, one of them is bituminous.

Hazy Dave said...

I think I'd be inclined to help him with the task. The car door part, anyway. Please don't link to that rubbish any more.

Sissy Willis said...

Meade in the comments: "Poor debbie hardly knows the half of it."

Didn't I just say the other day that he's a keeper? ;)

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Is anybody watching Zarco on C-SPAN?

Is he off his meds?

Palladian said...

Hey garage, you vile communist wrecker, did you see the music recommendations I made for you the other day?

Jeremy said...

Dear Queen,
Why would something like this surprise you?

You surround yourself with about 20 wing nut sycophants who spend their every hour lavishing praise on your every comment, whim, photo, and of course, your ravishing mug on Bloggingheads TV...and that dorky husband of yours...and you're shocked that there might be people who don't hang on your every word and think you're more than a tad pretentious...and full of yourself?

I think that, instead of calling this the Althouse Blog, you should jump right into it and call it...

"Okay, I Admit It...I'm A Narcissist Blog"

And of course (you may need permission), you can use this every day as a tag line..."You love me...you really love me..."

garage mahal said...

Hey garage, you vile communist wrecker, did you see the music recommendations I made for you the other day?

I did not! However I did check back to that post I know at least twice that morning, I thought you blew me off.

After I locate the recordings and listen to them I'll let you know what I think. I wouldn't have asked you if I wasn't serious about checking it out.

Bookmarked, and saved. Mucho gracias.

garage mahal said...

Off to finally see Avatar with the daughter, I'll catch up with you later and we'll bond some more. Genuinely excited to hear some of your recommendations.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

I thought you blew me off.

Get a room guys ;)

Palladian said...

"After I locate the recordings and listen to them I'll let you know what I think. I wouldn't have asked you if I wasn't serious about checking it out.

No problem. Hope there's something there you like. I could certainly add a lot more to the list or recommend something more specific when you figure out which of those pieces you like best.

David53 said...

I'd even wager that you've probably written more comments here than any other single commenter has ever written.

Truth.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

btw Trooper I saw you Red Sox hating comments over at the Ricki Martin tread.

You need a Red Sox sensitivity program ;)

Jeremy said...

David53 & Palladian - "I'd even wager that you've probably written more comments here than any other single commenter has ever written."

I have no idea, but SOMEBODY has to refute the tea bagger wing nut insanity you two dipsticks and others post here...and considering how many of you sycophants there are...it takes a strong will to even stomach the tripe (no pun intended.)

I certainly don't spend my time sucking up to you idiots...like David53.

Palladian said...

DUH!

ricpic said...

Regarding Palladian's musical recommendations: you can't go wrong with the 3 Bees. But why limit Brahms to solo piano pieces? His symphonies 1 and 4 are kewl. Ormandy with the Philadelphia Orchestra does a good job though that's probably too mushy for Palladian. Okay, Toscanini then. ;^)

bagoh20 said...

"And yet you spend HOURS and HOURS and HOURS posting comments here. I'd even wager that you've probably written more comments here than any other single commenter has ever written."

That will happen when you don't take time to listen or read or think - you got to do something. DUH

Who's John Cole and why would we care about his masochistic fantasies?

wv: dulle...no comment

Big Mike said...

With respect, madam professor, you should thicken up your skin a bit. Why do you care what John Cole thinks? Or Jeremy or Alpha, or even people who more or less agree with you (e.g., me)?

What sadist thought up that nastiness? Seriously. Why?


I listen to BHTV on my little player thingie at work. What am I missing by not watching?

bagoh20 said...

This from over there: "She [AA] would say she is contrarian…..and that she is not a Republican. But she has totally thrown in her lot with Tea Partiers,
Palin fans, and climate change deniers. Not to mention pro-lifers and
gun nuts, including Ted Nugent. I read the comments because people, like my dear old Dad, really believe that stuff."


Dad probably wishes he tried that nutcracker trick with the car door early in his career.

Eric said...

Cole is another one of those nutty lefties, like Charles Johnson, that was briefly reconnected with the real world by the events of 9/11. He's since drifted away again.

AST said...

What did you think "Balloon Juice" was a reference to?

Minicapt said...

In the world of tanks, 'driver' is the entry level position; some fail to advance further.

Cheers

Gary Rosen said...

I don't know about John Cole, but I'm sure *Juan* Cole has always been worthwhile reading for C-fudd IYKWIMAITYD.

Jason said...

Not true... in 4-man tank crews, the entry-level tank crew position is loader. Then driver. Then gunner. Then TC.

master cylinder said...

Hey Bagoh-that was me!
Dad is not around anymore and I never had any balls

bagoh20 said...

Oh a female leftie, then you are 50% cool in my book, but I was referring to Dad's nuts.

bagoh20 said...

So master cylinder, I take it from your comment over there that you:

1) Like expanding government and it's exploding budgets.

2) Don't care for strong self-made, successful opinionated women.

3) Believe in debunked science even when the authors admit it's wrong.

4) Don't have a problem with shredding and vacuuming living human fetuses.

5) Don't accept the second amendment and only want your overlords to have guns.

6) Never had "Cat Scratch Fever".

7) Dad disagreed and had all that backwards.

I'm just trying to get a clear idea of your positions

master cylinder said...

1-yes
2-am one
3-yes
4-no problem with it -my body you know
5-I dont have guns-dont want em
