Speaking of cheese, I've gone from an awful addiction to Sara Lee to cheese, nuts and wine in the evenings. Still probably too many calories but much much lower on the sugar, which is the real killer. English Stilton is such a wonderful cheese, the Cadillac of blues. A real treat at the end of a meal. Or as a mini-meal itself, which is how I have it. That's right, it's come to this.
I haven't had any sugar for 6 months and really missed it at first. The only candy I allow myself nowadays is Lindt 90% chocolate, about 4 squares, feels sinful, but very low in carbs and sugar.
My wife always gets some nice Dutch cheeses around the holidays, like oude gouda (aged Gouda) and the younger ones too. The best is a traditional Swiss fondue she makes made from three different cheeses Gruyere, Emmentaller, and Appenzeller.
I think I've tried Stilton, but you're making hungry for some now. I may have to seek some out over the next couple weeks.
nd you are a big boy and you can take care of yourself. But take it from me you will never puncture that balloon of self esteem. I sign on one hundred percent on to you dissertation about ass kissers and acting like you are in school. But it is rope a dope man.
You can keep punching and they will keep asorbing it and the crowd will cheer on and in the end the scorecard will be rigged. You will have won in reality but that is not what will be in the record books.
You know you are bugging her with these comments from her. Jeez, I have gone out of my way to be gracious to both her and Meade. Wound lickers? Sounds like something Titus would say (no offense Titus, but it is something you would say if you were trying to be snarky).
I'm an ass kicker, baby, not an ass licker. Isn't that the best/worst part of the Intertubes? You can be whatever you want to be. If you want to be a pretentious, condescending cunt, you can. If you want to be a obnoxious sot, you can. If you want to be anonymous, you can lurk. If you want to argue with me, you can shut the hell up. Beautiful.
Trooper, I trust your judgement..but I don't care my friend. I'm not afraid of losing..but I ALWAYS GO DOWN SWINGING. That's how I sleep well @ night. That's why people hire me..I'm relentless when I know the truth. Believe me..I know this broad..she's an easy fucking read and I know attorneys who had her as a professor. I KNOW her..and SHE KNOWS I KNOW HER. That's the back story on some of this shit.
ndspinnelli, rock on brother, rock on. Trooper is right, but being right is not about validation at Althouse. Sixty (I think) nailed it when he envisioned Ann's hand holding her third or fourth glass of wine.
I should not be mean, I like Meade. I like Ann. I just don't like her recent comments. But I am already pretty much over it. She will find new psychophants to join those she seems keen on cultivating.
Eh, not jazzed re: all the recent wine references. Get why they're being employed (because those with long-term familiarity with and knowledge of early blog wars and Althouse vortexes remember how that started and that, later, it became clear these insults were specifically hurtful). Get why it probably feels justified to pull that knowledge out of the arsenal and deploy it. Still, ain't into it and think it's counterproductive, and--eh, that's enough. Don't expect anyone to agree, which is fine. Just wanted to say that one time only.
I'm sitting here stunned. I need to get up early, but I'm just stunned.
Like many, I don't read much Althouse anymore, So when I saw this thread, I went over to find out. I'm sorry I did.
What a horrible person.
Who thinks that way?
A narcissist? Only part of the picture.
A lawyer? Helps, but don't tar the whole profession with that brush.
A professor? Another piece of the puzzle, and probably the biggest. Sitting on an endowed chair puts you in a good posture for naval-gazing. Take your licks in the real world? Naw. Practice insulated self-esteem for 30 years instead. Seems like work, but only to someone who never has.
Those are some of the ingredients, if you want to bother with an analysis.
But if you take a close look at the situation, the best fit, frighteningly, is that she's a zombie. Her physical condition makes it look like she's become a "philosophical zombie," meaning someone who functions normally, but has no consciousness or soul (in the quaint, old term)--only hard-wired behavior, with no empathy or self-awareness.
Freeman makes the point there will always be a J. Meh. That is true, even over here. But I do not have to be around a J. I make that choice. While I miss some of the commentators over there (including Freeman), I like things better over here. A bit more civil here.
I don't know about anybody else, but, gee, Darcy, if we can't flirt with you, who CAN we flirt with?
You know, I never minded a little flirting in comments. It leavens and lightens and humanizes. It's easy enough to go back to fixing mistaken opinions afterwards. If our job is to not be bores or pompous asses, flirting with, say, Darcy, pretty much guarantees that can't happen.
Kissing the Professor's ring (see how I keep it clean), not so much.
Troop--got to tell you man--you run a class operation where a sense of humor seems to be the most important thing--reminds me of Umberto Ecos: name of the rose.
When we fail to laugh at ourselves, we have truly lost it.
Oh--And it is pearl harbor day--think of the sailors and soldier who went thru that--God Bless them all--
Damn--three posts in a row--apologies to Ritmo, J, and Seven
Here's my take on the contretemps with respect to blog sites.
This my libertarian streak: attend to the blog sites you are comfortable with but do not denigrate the others--leads to hard feelings and worse.
Trooper's site is really like coming on big time. all of a sudden his hit count has increased, and I see lots of people migrating over whose opinions and observations I respect and enjoy. It is more like light hearted people enjoying bad jokes, fun times, and good people.
And since I havent owned a TV in 4 years, who else will keep me up to speed on what TV has become.
ndspinelli, your restroom comments were the first time I have seen someone really take the woman to task, head on (tho granted I haven't been there in about a year). It was about damn time. You should feel nothing but proud.
At this late date, is anyone surprised that it is verboten to flirt with someone other than Ann on Ann's blog?
We like to keep it classy.
ReplyDeleteCowlicks 'r us.
ReplyDeleteThe French call that sort of thing teton-à-tête. They also invented frottage cheese.
ReplyDelete*waves at RAA*

chick, that posting sounded totally elite, libtard and femmy.
ReplyDeleteBut up man.
butch up man, my butt is up high to the heavens.
ReplyDeletecow tits that sag and want to be squeezed.
I can't stop myself..the Joe Frazier in me just makes me keep swinging. The professor really hates me now. I wear her scorn like a badge of honor.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of creepy/sad the way she brought Meade into it though. He seems uncomfortable.
"Still probably too many calories but much much lower on the sugar, which is the real killer."
ReplyDeleteYep, just keep saying that. You'll die just as soon but less happy.
Titus said...
ReplyDeletechick, that posting sounded totally elite, libtard and femmy.
But up man.
I like sounding like that sometimes, Titus, as well as sounding widerlich (Allie's term, not mine) in the previous post.
That's part of my schtick.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your schtick, Titus?
I've got a real long tongue..I'm a womb licker.

Is that Natalie Portman?

ReplyDeleteHow about some chocolade hagel? The sprinkles on morning bread. Miss that.
ricpic, I was impressed by 12 year old cheddar in Wisconsin I had this summer, but I tried a California blue that blue me away.
ReplyDeleteAs I said folks..she fucked w/ my famiglia here. And that is unnacceptable

ReplyDeleteBote , bote , chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI should not be mean, I like Meade. I like Ann. I just don't like her recent comments. But I am already pretty much over it. She will find new psychophants to join those she seems keen on cultivating.

ReplyDelete@ricpic: Hagelslag, chocolate letters and of course stroopwafels (which even Trader Joe's sells now) are part of the tradition.
ReplyDeleteWow, get a load of this. Constitution Daily says Althouse s a shitty blogger
ReplyDelete"According to basic standards of decency and tact, she's a vapid moron".
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, she's having a bad week.
It's actually the Constitutional Daily and was listed in the ABA Journal's Blawg 100.
