Ritmo loves to talk about that vacation in Europe when he fell in love

He met her in France and they toured the rest of Europe together.

Of course he only talks about it with his friends. He feels sort of sheepish. So to speak.

MamaM takes Ritmo to the woodshed.

Althouse has never said one untoward thing against Ritmo. Who is this "ritmo"?

The agenda being pursued by AllieOop/Inga and Ritmo over at TOP is one they publicly discussed on his blog before he closed it down.

The way I see it, Ritmo's been playing the game of derailment for a long time. As Montana Urban Legend, his original approach involved long tedious circuitous rambles which rarely intersected with other commenters and primarily served to kill and derail threads through boredom, including apparently, his own. His second transformation involved the inclusion of more direct argument which yielded a more entertaining and engaging exchange but kept the discussion too closely on track for successful derailment. To up the ante and prevent his ass from regularly being handed to him, psychological manipulation was added to the mix, with polarizing and shaming practiced along with selective praise. Through it all the agenda and result appears to be the same.

IMO, consistently advancing a goal of domination, derailment and destruction is not good faith behavior. Althouse sees it differently.

 This is a very astute comment by MamaM but there is more going on then meets the eye. I have actually spoken to Ritmo on the phone. He is a pretty intelligent guy and I think I have a lot in common with him. You see we are both arrogant fucks who think any intelligent person would think the same way we do. So we don't suffer fools gladly. He is on the ultra liberal side and I am on the ultra conservative side. At one time I found myself doing a lot of the stuff he is doing now. Only better. You see I would beat up on some liberal fools at TOP like hdhouse. Of course I tried to be funny and mock them in a way that would win people to my point of view. But after a while I realized that was a mugs game. I mean I went so far as to apologize to hdhouse and we developed an decent internet relationship. I hope I have learned enough that I can let other people have an opinion even a wrong headed one like hd. Ritmo is not there yet. He likes to fight. To mix it up. To spew invective and nasty comments. Shit that's fun. It's like doing drugs. Or getting drunk. People are constantly saying how bad it is but they never say that it is fun. Just sayn'

After my big blowup with the evil bloggr lady over J, there were a couple of long threads about it. At the end of one a commenter called sorepaw did the most complete and correct analysis of TOP that I have ever seen. He noted that the evil blogger lady never slaps around the liberal trolls. She cossets them. You see they rile up her commenters who are mostly conservative. So she gets comments and hits and page views and all that good shit. Which it is all about for the evil queen. Her preening self regard instructs all of her actions. So liberal trolls who bring comment totals to riduclous heights of over 800\ comments.

Now Inga is a different story.

She is just a cunt.

Commenter Memories Number 126 Ritmo sez no!

Ritmo Re-Animated said...
I actually worked with this tiny but robust and entertaining paesan who needed to adjust the electrical inputs for his iPod once. He was a funny guy. Thick black and immaculately groomed hair and a mustache that seriously looked like it was lifted from Super Mario Brothers.

Anyway, when this married chap was tooling around (no pun intended) underneath the desk where I was working, in the space where the electrical outlets are kept, he asked if I wouldn't mind if he went down on me.

I told him that I really wasn't into that thing, and he told me that it really wasn't all that different from a woman doing that.

I told him that his mustache would give it away. To which, he responded, "What? Haven't you ever dated an Italian woman before?"

I thought that was funny.

One Adam 12.....Report of Stalker see the woman.

"Excuse me sir do you have any identification?"
"Who me? No I am sorry but I do not."
"Well what is your name?"
"That is an interesting question. At one time it was Montana Urban Legend. Then I changed it Ritmo Brazilirio or something like that there. There were a couple of other names when I was confused. But you can call me Ritmo-Reanimated."
"So why are you here?"
"I have a present for my new friend Allie. We have been corresponding lately and I wanted to meet in person. I brought her some bratwurst. And some suppositories. I think they might come in handy."
"Well that's all well and good. Let's see what she has to say shall we?"

I will bop you in the kisser.

Some recent comments in another thread about Nd and Shouting Thomas's fight:

ndspinelli said...
Trooper, I know you're a good man and I trust you implicitly. But, like I said, at least right now, I'll have to take your word on Shouting Thomas. I have offered an olive branch to the dude..but it has been ignored. I now do not engage him because I saw just how tedious it is for myself and others. He just keeps coming @ me. Trooper..he thinks I'm J for chrissake. How do you deal w/ that?

ndspinelli said...
Ritmo, I appreciate your post. Getting history and perspective helps me understand. Your problems w/ ST are similar to mine. But, as I've said..I offered an olive branch and he just keeps coming @ me. I'm not engaging him and I'm even trying to avoid some topics that get him manic

Sockpuppets 'R' Us said...
ndspinelli, you accused someone you don't know of being a pedophile, simply because they disagreed with you in a blog discussion.
You made this baseless accusation against him repeatedly in a public forum.
And now you're here crying at Trooper's that you just don't understand why the guy you repeatedly accused of being a pedophile is mad at you.
You're a worthless, dishonest little shitstain excuse for a man.
(And Trooper, you're a fool for vouching for him.)

Sixty Grit said...
Yay! This place is becoming EBL Jr.!

Wow that is some series of posts.

Nd some people can't shrug off a punch as well as you and I can. We grew up talking smack and ranking each other out so we know the proper response to someone saying you are pedophile is to call them a dead dog fucker. Or to bop them in the kisser. I think Shouting gets his motor going and he doesn't have any breaks on the internet's.

I know how that works since I have some of the same tendencies. Look at the fight I had with Allie. I went from zero to sixty and we went back and forth very nastily. But Allie has the courage to reach out to me to try to find an accommodation and I really respect that. She made some really bad assumptions. I mean she even accused me of being Sixty Grit. Everybody knows I can't spell as good as him. And he lives in the country and I would eat my gun if I had to live in the boonies. So we can all make false assumptions. I didn't realize that Allie is ok for a fuckin' commie.

Sockpuppet said I was a fool to vouch for Shouting. Maybe so. But people said the same thing about Ritmo when I vouched for him as a decent guy. When he calmed down and took a step back he was able to find a way to talk to Shouting. They would never agree in a million years. But they can still shout across the divide. Even if it is just to yell "Fuck you loser." But they do it with a smile.

That is why this joint can never be the EBL's place. Because we tell each other to go fuck yourself. With of course all the hot bades of the sixties and seventies that I whacked my bag too! with a smile. We are not interested in the endless flame wars and smacking each other around for someone else's amusement. That's not what we do here.

We are about good food, fine wine and spirits, tasty cigars, full bodied woman and the acts we can cajole them into doing.

And of course all of the hot babes from the sixties and seventies that I wacked my bag to back in the day.

If you can't do that .....well....I will have to bop you in the kisser.

Welcome Back!

Our blog friend Ritmo Brazilio had become to post again under his new moniker of Ritmo
Re-Animated. He was restarted his blog and has been making comments. I missed his biting wit and off center viewpoint. Thanks for coming by!

So consider this a welcome back. Brazilian babe style!

Commenter Memories Number 52 Montana has a new look!

Hey our buddy Montana Urban Legend is thinking about changing his name again. I mean he went by Ritmo Brasilio or something for a while but now is going with something like "TheGovernmentTricklingDownYourLeg" or something like that there.

He is experimenting with a new look.

Judging by his email he might want to re-think that a little. Just sayn'

Hey I am cheering up!

Ritmo sent me the link to this story about the Jersey Shore girls. Here they are in their bikini's. One of them (on the left) is the new girl Dena.

Anyway Jwow is well....wow!

Ritmo said he thought I was Italian but I said I was Irish. You see I am half Irish and half Italian. But I am only Irish when I am morose as I often am this time of year. Normally I am a happy go lucky guinea where the Italian leaks out of me like the grease at the bottom of a bag of zeppoles you get at the feast.

This is from next season that they have just finished filming. What is on TV now is the second season that they did down in Miami.

I find these people endlessly fascinating. It is sort of like the evil blogger lady's comment section.

Only more civil.

Bert and Ernie NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

Ritmo sent me this reality show clip from our old friends Bert and Ernie.

All I can say is:

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR WHEN LITTLE KIDS ARE AROUND!!!!!!!

Ritmo,i never said I was ashamed of anything - I said you are."

Wait a minute. What about the time you were a stand in on "Blackula Three; This time it's Personal You Cracker!"

You should check out hdhouse's blog...he is doing a great job.

Here is an exchange I had with Ritmo in another post:

Ritmo Brasileiro said...
The guy should seriously upload a post or two. Y'all helped give him so much fanfare at the beginning, and months of silence?!Get off the Althouse crack, and explore your crazy road-killing ideas in a place where your mind can roam free, Mr Garage!Thank you. That is all.

Trooper York said...
Blogging is not for everyone. It is a lot easier to just drop a comment or two. I feel guilty when I don't put up five or six posts a day. But you get too busy. I know you know what I mean. So I am sure Garage will get to it.I think the key is that you don't have to make it so much of a big deal. A short post here and there can be just as much fun as a long winded one.Believe it or not hdhouse is doing a great job at his blog. Lot's of posts covering lots of ground. Not all political at all. Well worth reading.

You should give hd a look see if you haven't already done so. Just sayn'

Ugh. He said.

Speaking of blog feuds. I think I must of done something to AllenS because he keeps dogging me over at that other place. I am pretty sure he is pissed that I defended Ritmo when everybody was piling on and he wasn't around to defend himself. I mean he despises Ritmo and can't understand how anyone could defend him. But I would do that for pretty much anybody who got attacked that way.

Well, except for Bissage.

Hee.
