It's not fan mail from a flounder, it's a letter about a link!

You know I want to stay true to the spirit of Trooper York. We don't do a lot of politics here unless it is too bust somebodies balls. But as Art knows, you have to keep it in your own hands
so to speak. Right Linc?

S/b "somebody's". Or "some guy's". Must chicks don't have them.

Hahahaha, I love it when the Soviet Grammar police show up instead of the Soviet Spelling Police.

And allow me to point out that the metro-spicuals currently purporting to represent the American Man always keep their balls safely in a jar on s/b s/g s/w nightstand.

Must chicks do have them, they just don't have mine.

Art the Loser. First time I heard about him was 7th grade, after his daughter jumped out a window. Said it was windowpane. School made me watch a movie about acid, bad trips and all.

Kamikaze from
The hundredth floor
Swan dive to the street
He couldn`t handle
This madness no more

I'm still here, and he's still dead.

I'd still like to thank him, he got me wondering what else The Man be lyin' about.

CL, it's 'Death By Misadventure' for me. Some days life resembles Nugent.

Hey knock it off! Art was part of my little kid to big kid history.

I said the "darnedest things".

Course my parents didn't think that was so cute.

Link had NOTHING on my parents.

dr kill said...

Don't get me started. I'm just finishing Alice Cooper - No More Mr Nice Guy.

Could be the theme song for Troop's blog today.

Evil Joan triumphs! There is no justice!

Those women and those pics are beautiful.

thanks.

I never know what's going on.

Penny said...

"I never know what's going on."

Um hm.

Ron said...

It was a good 50th b-day...last year!

Thanks for the linkage, Professor TrooperHouse!

blake said...

"Um hm."

Penny doubts me?

Penny who's been online since February and seems to know all about everything?

Um hm, indeed.

I think Penny just likes intrigue.

Speaking of fan mail, you have some e-mail, Troop. ;-)

I am gonna borrow that Blake.

Darcy said...

Trooper! I gots'ta know. lol. :)

Penny said...

Blake, come on, lighten up! And chickenlittle? ;)

blake said...

Nothing personal. I don't really care for sockpuppets. The way I see it, you're someone who's been around before, maybe still is around in another persona.

I don't mind people posting anonymously or pseudo-anonymously; I just don't trust people who establish one persona and then come back with a different one later, with both (or all) supposedly the real person.

Like I said, nothing personal.

chickelit said...

Blake, I think you're being a little too hard on Penny.
Maybe she really was a long time Althouse lurker who just jumped in recently. On the other hand, maybe she was somebody else there and now just wants to be herself. Or, maybe you're right. Does it matter? She's not asking you to divulge any secrets or inner thoughts that you wouldn't share here anyway.

Trooper has an enormous heart and pitches a huge tent here for us to hang out in everyday. We might as well all try to get along.

blake said...

CL,

I'm not being hard on anyone, just up front. I'm also not suggesting anyone else adopt my stance, nor even that this person's motives are sinister.

It's just not something I'm personally comfortable with.

Darcy said...

I don't like the idea of sockpuppets, either. Be yourself, please. It is hiding and toying with people, and can be worse than that - it can be destructive.

blogging cockroach said...

penny may not be a sockpuppet
she could be just schizophrenic
but i think they re getting better now

Penny said...

It's nice to know you all don't like sockpuppets, but I am not a sockpuppet, so essentially you are saying, I don't like this person, whoever she might be. Blogging cockroach was more direct, and even more unkind.

I've been hanging out on the internet long enough not to let any of this ruin my day, but I will say this, if you want to talk "poor form", I would suggest that idle negative gossip about a member of the community on whose board you are posting would fall into that category.

I found Althouse from another site I go to, and I found Troop's place from Althouse's links. I was happy to find the place because I think Troop is a pretty funny guy, and Titus hangs here which is a HUGE bonus to my mind. He rarely fails to hit my funny bone, and lord knows, we can all use a bit more of the funny in our lives.

That brings me full circle here. When I saw your one liner, blake, which seemed totally out of context, it struck my funny bone, so I left my "um hm" to keep the funny going. I obviously missed the mark, so maybe I owe you an apology for that. If so, then I am sorry.

In closing, this post is not a good example of why I came here in the first place. Nor was that post a few down that turned into a "let's talk about Althouse" post. We can do better than this.

Trooper York said...

I don't really care if people want to use different names but your milage may vary. I certainly didn't intend to make any post an Althouse dicussion post, you know me I like to talk about old tv shows, tits and food. But Althouse's comments brought forth some reactions from other commenters. One of things I really admire at Althouse is that she lets people be themselves and really gives them their free speech rights. I want to follow her example and welcome everyone's opinion even when they get pissed off at me. Trust me I am used to people being pissed off at me.

I do want to say Penny that I value your participation and comments. They are pretty cool. But just know that everyone is totally free at Trooper York to be a dick or an asshole. Or a dick in an asshole if that floats your boat. America. Love her or leave her.

blake said...

I'm not trying to ruin anyone's day, chase anybody off, or suggest even that I don't like anyone. Certainly nobody owes me proof of their existence.

I'm trying to minimize this: I'm uncomfortable with it, so I've said why. I don't expect anyone to take my lead.

If I've offended anyone who doesn't deserve it, heh, I apologize.

Trooper York said...

Hey blake, don't sweat it dude. I am sure it is cool. You should always say what you want to say here. As should everyone else. It's still a free country here.

blake said...

God bless America and Trooper York!

Trooper York said...

Dude you only have to say that after someone sneezes. That was a fart.

Penny said...

Fair enough, Troop. So, um, could you open that window just a crack?

Trooper York said...

I don't know. Opening the crack started all the trouble. So to speak.
