I thought we had seen the last of him at Lem's joint. I mean all of the butt boys and girls who were at Lem's only until Mordor started taking comments were gone from the masthead and the site. We had not seen or heard from Leisure Suit Larry for quite a while.
But he decided to jump in to a thread by Michael Haz so he could lecture Dust Bunny Queen on Christianity. I wonder why that is?
Could it be that they are not getting enough comments over at TOP? I haven't gone there so youse guys who know how to measure it have a better handle on it then I do. I think so many quality commenters left that they want to find a way to engage and get them to return. Of course on a case by case basis. With the caveat that they can delete anyone who stands up for themselves.
I don't know if you guys are watching "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?" They have this bitch named Brandi Glanville who reminds me of the Evil Blogger Lady. She is rude and crude and insults some of the other women on the show. Not the ones with money or power of course. But the ones with a little weakness that she could exploit. Oh and she is a big old drunk.
Anyway after she spews some shit on this chic named Joyce she gets some pushback. And she starts to cry and say that all she was doing was telling the truth and nobody knows the trouble she's seen. Her enables make excuses for her and try to tell everyone how smart and nice and kind she really is.
Remind you of somebody?
It is kind of ludicrous for someone who despises religion and religious people to lecture us by quoting the bible. I think it is a trap. So while I will push back I will try not to engage. I don't know if that is possible but I want to take Nick's advice and try to ignore them as much as I can. Comment and mock indirectly but do not engage. Let's see how it goes.

Good luck with that. I'm not sure I'm capable of the distinction, myself.
It is a trap. Mr. Manipulative just wants to get people going on the topic that he wants to use to side track the conversation. Then he can get people to directly engage him and he can begin to hurl insults.
The way to get to him is to talk about him, talk around him but never directly. Engage the topic, not the person and subtly insult through indirect implications. You note his first response is to call names. He WANTS you to do the same.
:-) Kill with kindness
Couldn't someone just beat him with a club instead?
I am on the same train DBQ.
Mock but not directly.
Good plan.
You are closer - have at it. And remember, a wooden club burns nicely, leaving no evidence. We can discuss lumber selection.
Wait, hold it - now I am a co-conspirator! Stop that.
No violence. Just mockery. His drunken wife beats him enough, as far as that goes.
No clubs.
Use a frozen leg of lamb. Then DBQ can cook it.
(I have been watching an Alfred Hitchcock marathon)
Wow, DBQ. You are in top form over at TOOP. I stand in awe.
I hate when people who don't believe a thing about God, Jesus, or the Bible invoke them in a conversation. "Well...JESUS was a liberal." "Well...the Bible says to love your neighbor." Etc, etc, etc.
They don't believe it, they just try to set a trap to show that Christians are hypocrites and don't live up to the standards set by God. If you take them at face value and challenge them on their response to Christianity, then it's "Oh, I'm not a Christian, so I'm exempt from the standard that I just held you to."
Right.
I refuse to let reprobates define my faith then judge me with their interpretation. That sort of adolescent mind game is pathetic and unworthy to respond to. I think people who do that are really worried that they've pissed God off with their unbelief and are trying to make themselves look better by dragging down people they see who are genuinely trying to live out their faith. Deep down, they respect those people and estimate that, if they can compare more favorably with them then that should count for something.
It doesn't.
Whenever I try to understand a passage in the Bible, I always ask "What would Meade say about this?", because I know how hard he worked to earn his Doctor of Divinity degree.
There we go. Cleaned up the neighborhood.
If it wasn't so gay I would say I love you dude!
Good show!
I do expect him to go on other threads to spread his poison.
But you definitely did the right thing.
I hope Lem takes notes.
I think he'll just keep it up ad nauseum. He's that childish and petty.
I have to admit it is very comical.
I wonder if there will be a response at Mordor?
It is that. And I'm finding that deleting his comments is more fun that having a box of bubble wrap.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
kalmia? Have we been introduced?
Over and under before Freeman Hunt shows up to scold you is three hours. Just sayn'
Tome notas, Lemmo.
I was out in the shop and expected to return to a full blown Ingeburg Mengele and Crack tag team extravaganza.
Well done, Senor Haz.
And I'm finding that deleting his comments is more fun that having a box of bubble wrap.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
LOL.
I also had to laugh when he got all butt hurt because you censored his comments, but can't see that they/he/she censor as well.
I don't think so, Haz, but I'm a big fan of your writing. I've made a New Year's resolution to start commenting. Thanks, Trooper, for granting me admission last year. Hanging out here has brought me great mirth and enjoyment.
I can vouch for kalmia. Long time lurker first time commenter.
I hope to hear from Aridog soon too as he has joined up.
Welcome aboard, kalmia.
New members buy a round of drinks. It's a fact.
Make mine Poland Spring Original Sparkling water.
A wee dram of Glenmorangie would be quite fittin', too.
Eggnog for me.
It is almost the end of eggnog season. You can't find it in the store anymore until next Thanksgiving.
I'm actually enjoying a rye and ginger right now, made with Reed's Jamaican style extra ginger brew. Here, poured one for you all.
Did Lem just change the name of his blog again?
When did it become Lem's Levity? And is it inching toward Lem's Levitra? And I mean "inching" in a non male specific manner.
kalmia, thanks muchly. Cheers!
The best way to push back against dirty ol' EBL and LSL is to ignore them. I fall into the trap too (who can't resist bitch slapping LSL when he shows up) but you will bug him far more by ignoring him. When he shows up talk right past him, like he didn't even comment. It will drive him insane (or rather more insane).
I have to admit the mass deletion is very, very funny.
Think of it as tit for tat.
Or saggy tit for tat. Just sayn'
It was the perfect turnabout is fair play situation.
So what exactly is tat (assuming its not body art), where can I get some, and what's the t4t exchange rate?
Haz, I thought of you and the half measures full measures lecture the sleazy PI Mike gave to Walt in Breaking Bad. No half measures for you! Well done.
Thanks, Nick. I like the neighborhood and want to keep it nice. No reason not to apply the rules found at TOP to a guy from TOP.
That was awesome - it's not as if the little puke could argue with his wife's rules.
Once I get out of my extended adolescence I want to be like Haz.
Yeah, he's on one of her posts putting up about every third comment. It's some kind of weird frenzy. Let's mark the calendar and see when the next one happens.

I laughed at that for a solid five minutes. Thanks, Sixty.
Did LM really use my despair-laden comment on that thread to attack people?
He did, Palladian. And that was one of two reasons why I deleted every one of his tweets.
You are welcome, Monsieur Haz.
Yes he did. He tried to be subtle because he was setting it up for a punchline but Michael spiked it on him.
He really looked the fool.
I shouldn't be surprised. He's already proven that he's the sort of person that likes to kick people when they're lying on the floor.
I wrote 'tweets' when I meant to write 'comments' above.
I appreciate the kind words from some of you guys on that thread. I guess my initial reaction to it was overblown. Just a bit sensitive lately
Gold Bond powder helps with that.
LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER!
Great Roald Dahl short story.
I got there after all the bubbles were popped.
But there was a lingering smell of vinegar and water.
Althouse had a little uptick in December but she's appreciably down from the summer bloodletting.
Ruthie!
Hiya, Mikey!
Late to this thread and the other one involving Harsh Truth. Even with the holes, or maybe better said, because of the holes, what I found was a fine set of comments, with even more truth spoken, affirmed and reinforced.
While the first set of Haz-Stakes used to mark the boundaries and perimeter was clear and good, the second involving the "guidelines" quote was so crisp, clean and fitting, it sounded like the ringing of John Henry the Steel Drivin' Man's hammer, driving in the spike. It was so such a surprise, I laughed when I saw it, in spite of myself.
The testimony of value and worth that followed whatever statements were deleted was a good result.
A mass deletion? You probably shocked LSL like RollTide fans tonite!
Thus said LSL on one of his wife's posts today:
"How do you conscientiously object to the draft? Do you just not sign up?"
That's how I did it. Soon after, Nixon fixed my wagon when ended the Draft.
Bastard.
Nixon did not eliminate the selective service or the requirement to register, although in 1971 he got legislation passed allowing it at a future date. The last draft call up was December 1972, with the last draftee induction in July 1973. Not until 1975 did President Ford eliminate the registration requirement by executive order. The registration requirement was re-instated by President Carter in 1980.
LSL turned 18 in 1972 and apparently, by his own words, remained a draft dodger until age 21. How impressive.
I missed about a week of stuff due to family things, and didn't see Haz's post until now. Very nice.
At a later post, not having read the earlier one, I linked to the same 6 Harsh truths article.
Oops. Whatta dope.
Anyways, Haz is tops. And that thread reads much better without Larry's garbage.
LSL turned 18 in 1972 and apparently, by his own words, remained a draft dodger until age 21. How impressive.
AA probably admires that about him.
Hey, what do you know - Larry is as moral as he is honest!
May God bless and keep him, far away from me.
