Someone emailed me this comment from that other evil place that I never go to anymore:
yashu said...
I'm sad Trooper is no longer part of Althouse the blog. If I recall correctly, it was his own choice to leave and cut this blog out of his life entirely. I hope there might be a reconciliation someday, though I won't hold my breath.
Loyalty is a fine quality. But for a friend of Trooper's to come here *just* for the purpose of taunting and insulting Meadehouse, IMO doesn't help anything. Just stirs up more bad blood, doesn't it?
Anyway, hadn't heard about Troop's reality show; good luck to him!
I would like to explicitly state that I hope no one visits the depths of Hell to piss on the evil blogger lady....even if she is on fire. I don't encourage nastiness. That's her gig. What we do here is about us and has no need to have anything to do with that unfortunate couple. I just want them to take my name out of their mouth and to leave us alone.
I really appreciate those of you who post over there a lot not mentioning what we are doing or are talking about here. Also I ask that some of youse guys who are emailing me quotes to not worry about it. I don't care what is going on over there. It is no longer any more of my concern. If you like to post over there it is fine with me. It doesn't really matter to me at all. We are doing great stuff here. Let's let bygones be bye bye or something like that there.
I responded to Moose who was not aware of why you've gone private and expressed interest in joining. I suggested Moose email you. That was deleted as were a couple ballbusts. However, the ballbusts and telling Moose to email you were separate. I hope that meets your criteria.
ReplyDeleteI post both places (actually a lot of places).
ReplyDeleteEach blog is a different critter.
I like to discuss politics and economics and spar a bit with the liberals. Althouse's blog lends itself to that type of posting.
Your blog is different in that we don't discuss political issues so much and have a more laize faire attitude towards posting, talk about popular culture and in general its like a bunch of guys and gals joking around with each other.
I haven't said anything about your blog over 'there' since I figure it is your business if you want other people to know...or not.
Just like in junior high...... I can have more than one set of friends.
:-D
Your move to private did come as a surprise to some, especially those not deranged enough to be here on a daily basis like myself. For example, Pete Terranova and Jason (the Commenter) both seemed to have discovered your switch over too late.
ReplyDeleteI don't discuss your place "over there" or on Twitter except to suggest to some to email you for access. I do however perceive an uptick in interest over there regarding your upcoming show "over there" and I'm not sure how you can reach out to those people, not all of whom hold grudges.
Odd place over there, don't miss it. I am actually kind of sorry I wasted so many hours making comments there. It took many more hours to delete them all. I should have just let the * and her * do that work for me.
ReplyDelete* - use any word you care to.
I do not really hold grudges. I am just afraid of what nastiness the self rightous couple might unleash. Not for myself but for my wife who the show is really about.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate it that you guys don't talk over there. If anyone contacts you for access please feel free to give them my email and I will talk to them directly. I am open to most anyone.
Nick you are of course free to do as you please in all things as always.
ReplyDeleteI don't put restrictions on people. That's their thing.
I think they are very paranoid and think there is some kind of organized campaign or vast trooper york conspiracy or something. So guys like you and AllenS and others are deleted left and right. That is because they can not stand up to scrutiny or the open exchange of ideas freely expressed.
I went private because I didn't want to trash all of my work that could be used against my wife and her show by the politically correct police. Led by a affirmative action hire instructor at a mediocre midwestern second tier cow college. And her lonely hearts pen pal.
Wait. Did that sound too nasty?
Sorry.
Huh.
ReplyDelete...a mediocre midwestern second tier cow college.
ReplyDeleteRuth Anne Adams, please pick up the white courtesy phone...paging Ruth Anne Adams.
DBQ we are all about fun here. Which is what it should be about. That other joint is where fun goes to die.
ReplyDeleteDifferent strokes for different folks.
And of course some of the Photos I like to post lead to some different strokes. So to speak.
Not nasty enough.
ReplyDeleteI went private because I didn't want to trash all of my work that could be used against my wife and her show by the politically correct police.
ReplyDeleteWise move. Some people could be malicious and try to hurt you. You guys have the opportunity of a lifetime and you don't want to have it ruined because someone wants to make trouble for you over some blog postings.
And of course some of the Photos I like to post lead to some different strokes. So to speak
LOL. Not everyone has a sense of humor and some people, who shall remain nameless, are probably secretly prudes or feminists or something.
Hey, y'all.
ReplyDeletetits.

ReplyDeleteSixty, I'm with you, I wasted way too much time and emotion over there. It was unhealthy and unproductive and it taught me some truths about the nature of the internets.
ReplyDeleteTrooper, I was amazed a the level of paranoia by her. I don't believe for a minute that anyone was attempting to deliberately destroy her blog, as she has said several times during that time. That was pure paranoia, or a simply a way of justifying her treatment of those who had the balls to stand up to her and for stand up for themselves.
BUT in the end I am glad I did comment over there, I met some great people , Ritmo, you, and all the great guys and gals over here. So it's all good.
Yes yes Chickie, I deleted. I don't want MamaM after me again.
Hey Peter!
ReplyDeleteSo, someone just deleted a comment of mine (a comical reply to Carol_Herman in the wine bottle thread). I responded by deleting three earlier comments.
ReplyDeleteAre you shitting me, CL? You don't know who deleted your comment? It was Meade. Tell me you are not surprised by the behavior of those commie cocksuckers. Speaking of which, how you doin', Hoh?
ReplyDeleteChickie! You broke a cardinal rule over there , NO FLIRTING unless it's to Althouse herself. Carol Herman is tempting though, huh?
ReplyDeleteAre you shitting me, CL? You don't know who deleted your comment? It was Meade.
ReplyDeleteNot so sure. It wasn't the kind of comment Meade would delete. I've been posting comments there for several weeks without deletion.
@Allie: I never thought of that!
ReplyDeleteChickie, who else would delete you then? What was the comment to Carol Herman, I read hers which was a bit, um , strange, but hey that's what makes her interesting. If A herself deleted you , hmmm, very interesting, it might prove my point in my last comment.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he just sobered up. And you read something Carol "Ricky Branch" Herman wrote then commented on it? That can't be good.
ReplyDeleteSo in the spirit of moving on, wasn't Downton Abbey terrific yesterday?!
ReplyDeleteAnybody else watching it besides Chickie and I?
Sixty Grit, as a matter of fact, we were speaking about sandpaper and grit numbers today at work.
ReplyDeleteI've moved up in the world. No longer "occasional," now I'm part-time.
I should put part-time in quotes, too, seeing as a lot of my "off" hours are consumed by work.
No complaints. It's good to have work.
I was flirting with the idea of opening a retail type establishment, but I got offered the job. A regular paycheck looked a hell of a lot more attractive than sinking the retirement money in a brick-and-mortar.
Bueller?
ReplyDeleteHow about Madonna last night?
ReplyDeleteSo fucking amazing.
Titus! YES Madonna was great, she looked a bit careful in some of her moves, but hey it's not easy walking, much less dancing in stiletto boots.
ReplyDeleteOh hell, I'm going to bed.
ReplyDeleteMadonna reminds me of a cross between Mrs Isobel Crawley (Matthew's mother) and Mrs. O'Brien, both loathsome characters from "Downton Abbey" (with a little Cindy Sheehan thrown in for good measure). She is apparently gaining adoration among gay males, but her influence on young females thankfully is waning.
ReplyDeleteMy 11 year old granddaughter actually said "ew" a couple of times during Madonna's performance, lol.
ReplyDelete@Allie
ReplyDeleteAnybody else watching it besides Chickie and I?
Me!!!
Here's a wonderful posting of The Hats Of Downton Abbey.
I'm finding less and less that interests me "over there"...it was once fun...now not so much.
ReplyDeleteThis is more like dropping in to the local pub...which have heavy drapery or dark stained glass windows for a reason...to keep out prying eyes and nosy parkers.
@BJM: You are missing out on some good live tweeting of DA by victoria, ruth anne and sissy willis if you're not following them.
ReplyDeleteIf I try to read vb's twitter torrent during DA I lose track what those damn Brits are gargling.
ReplyDeleteReplying is simply out of the question for me. I'm impressed if you can keep up with them, chicklit.
@pollopoco
ReplyDeleteI've been following Victoria and Sissy...btw have you guys image googled Amy Nuttall?
I have now.
ReplyDeleteThat maid's uni didn't exactly flatter her.
One more DA link...O'Brien's a bit of a dish...who'd a thunk it, eh?
ReplyDeleteMrs. Hughes was an even bigger shock.
ReplyDeleteReal-life O'Brien kinda looks like one of those HS teachers who parties w/her students.
Yep, Madonna hit her target demographic, old queens and old women.
ReplyDeleteAs for you, Peter, aren't you just ever so special, you clueless Hoh motherfucker. Soon you will be able to identify simple shapes. YAY!
Jesus, it's no wonder you like it over there - a bunch of commie retards and special ed douche bags who can't make it in a regular class. How old are you, you fucking simpleton?
Are you still sucking Meade's dick? Ann's?
Did youknow that orgasms cure hiccups?
ReplyDeleteYours for a hiccup-free world,
Haz
@BJM: Thanks for that link. O'Brien is not a dish. Michelle Dockery is.
ReplyDeleteSixty Grit, who pissed in your corn flakes?
ReplyDeleteGo fuck yourself, Hoh. You are a rat bastard and that will never change. You are a communist and a worthless piece of shit liberal, but I repeat myself.
ReplyDeleteNow go make your rat report to your masters over there in Meadehouse and get your 30 pieces of silver, you little bitch.
Sixty --
ReplyDeleteTake a chill pill.
Aw, AllenS, ridiculing the Hoh is ever so much fun. He takes it ever so seriously. He is a communist, you know. He loves him some Meadehouse. But he is a rat. Rats need to be called out.
ReplyDeleteOkay, chilling...
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Haz hasn't had hiccups in many years, despite her affection for very spicy food.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAllenS - I should have copied and pasted your comment - now mine is out of context. Oh well, won't be the first time...
ReplyDeleteMrs Haz sneezes a lot. We're working on a cure for that. We think hiccups and sneezes are in the same family, so the research is related.
ReplyDeleteSixty --
ReplyDeleteI moved my comment to the other thread. This wasn't the thread that I wanted to post on. Move yours.
Sixty said;
ReplyDelete"Yep, Madonna hit her target demographic, old queens and old women."
Sixty, you calling me an old woman?! Titus, he called you an old queer! Titus let's kick his ass:) don't worry Titus I'll do all the physical stuff, you just hold him down, that way you won't break a nail or anything.
FYI Sixty, I never really liked Madonna, but I was being nice to Titus, because he was so looking for someone to agree with him about Madonna's performance. Sometimes it's just better to be kind, little white lies, you know.
But hey don't let me crimp your style, you are a force of one!
Sorry Titus , that was an Old Queen.
ReplyDeleteAllie, I noticed your new picture. Did you go up a couple of dress sizes? Also, I know this guy who could sell you some big bras. Just sayn'.
ReplyDeleteAllen, I swore off bras in the 70's. Burnt em all. Torture devices, better to free the whales!
ReplyDeleteThat was me before my diet.
By his own admission Titus is an old queen. And you, Ms. Oopie, being nearly as superannuated as I, are no longer young, except at heart. I had my heart operated on - talk about exploratory surgery!
ReplyDeleteOthers have suggested that I really don't need to harass Titus over his inconsistencies and outright lies, and I think everyone who takes pity on him is probably doing the right thing. It cannot be easy being him. Her. Whatever... I shall leave the old insecure queen to his love of Medusa, er, Madonna, and allow them to disco off into the sunset.
And whatever you do, Allie, do not cover up - that is a great picture of you! ;^)
Or was that Free Willy? That reminds me, do you know what Germans call jello? Wackliche Peter, translation, wiggly Peter.
ReplyDeleteAw Sixty, that's why I like you. You're man enough to walk back some of the stuff you say, or at least smooth the rough edges a bit.
ReplyDeleteCareful there darlin', this is gettin' into the realm of flirtin' or clutterin' or somethin'.
ReplyDeleteMichael Haz, I love your humorous attempts to lighten things up. Are the mailman or pool boy involved w/ the therapy?
ReplyDeleteOnly innocent flirting Sixty, I'm too young to do any real flirting that will have to wait until I'm 70.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletend - Thanks. I can report that no outsourcing took place.
ReplyDeleteBJM, those hats are amazing, the costumes and set are such eye candy, gorgeous. I hope there will be a third season.
ReplyDeleteDBQ - If you've got your ears on - What just happened at that other place that caused your elequnet exit?
ReplyDeleteI kno, I know. Proof read. Spell czech.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDiscussion of deletions vill be verboten!! Jah voll! So sayeth Herr Meade, the Vice Principlal.
ReplyDeleteUnd spelling errors vill NOT be tolerated! NEIN!
I'm late to this party. 1,732 things are crashing in and I've had precious little time to check the innertubewebs the past few days. I've steered clear of mentioning the EBL (apologies to the bovine EBL), since this is Trooper's place and it's bad manners to bring up unpleasantness in someone else's living room.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, since the topic is on the table, I simply don't visit the EBL prison. Not out of solidarity with Trooper, although that would be reason enough, but because the place isn't interesting. One would think that the EBL would shit kittens to hear that someone found her little blog uninteresting, but she doesn't give a rip about the little people who visit, so big deal.
The last episode of drama resulting in mass deletions and such was bizarre, so say the least. I simply don't care, and didn't particularly care, since I had already moved on. I miss the old days of blogging cockroach, Palladian, and Trooper's spot-on analysis.
Blogs tend to become caricatures of themselves eventually, and so it is with the EBL. When she was somewhat dismissive and aloof, occasionally lowering the boom on some inane commenter, it was mildly entertaining. Now that the volume has been turned up, mixed with the vain paranoia, there's nothing attractive (to me).
Meade showed up at my blog and posted some weird shit, trying to pick a fight. Then he slunk away to the shadows to lick the spot his balls used to reside before the EBL put them in a jar on the mantle. They probably deserve each other.
One last thing, I'd just like to point out that the Mets suck. (But, they are tied for first place right now.)
I've steered clear of mentioning the EBL (apologies to the bovine EBL), since this is Trooper's place and it's bad manners to bring up unpleasantness in someone else's living room.
ReplyDeleteDitto. Trooper has a more pleasant place to be: and to keep dragging in the dog poop on our shoes is not good.
HOWEVER. I have had it. We were having a productive and interesting discussion and the random and deletions were doing nothing to advance the discussion. Mary's posts and my responses to her were summarily deleted.
So, while trash talking, name calling and the other non productive verbal diarrhea posts are allowed....
Allie has it exactly right. The Nazi regime atmosphere is stifling. I don't play well by the rules anyway :-)
My Swan Song in case anyone is interested.
This censorship of postings is utter and complete bullshit.
Mary was contributing to the conversation and made some excellent points, yet she is deleted for no apparent reason.
I have been posting here for quite some time and have enjoyed the numerous topics and the ability to interact with people who have differing opinions.
Until now.
Evidently Althouse and her stooge Meade are unable to accept this. While stating that this blog was to stimulate conversation, they are at the same time stifling the free exchange of ideas by arbitrary and might I say malicious deletions.
Good bye.
Dust Bunny Queen.
2/7/12 11:29 AM
appologies to Trooper
We all have a point at which we have had all we can take and can't takes no more. For me that occurred was last October.
ReplyDeleteKudos on your use of the word "stooge" - well done.
Ach du Lieberman!
ReplyDelete(My iPad did that, so I left it.)
40 is old in the gay world but thankfully I pull in hot young hog.
ReplyDeleteSixty, my sense is your chakras are not in alignment and need to find your third eye.
Practice compassion, deep breaths, and observe the beauty that is surrounding you.
tits.
@Allie
ReplyDeletePBS/MPT announced that the third season is in pre-production and confirmed the rumor that they're bringing Shirley MacLaine in as Lady Grantham's mother and TDC antagonist. Watching MacLaine and Smith jab & feint should be fun...one trusts that Fellows will resist shredding the scenery.
Amazon shipped the pre-ordered DA Season 2 DVD's on Monday. Yea! I'll be knee-deep in popcorn & the remaining episodes by late afternoon.
You are a communist and a worthless piece of shit liberal, but I repeat myself.
ReplyDeleteBut Allie and Ritmo are commies too.
I am pleading for tolerance here.
My imaginary blog muse, Henry (who was a real person), taught me the value of arguing with your opponents and then having drinks together afterwards. It was sound advice.
On the other hand, what happens at Trooper's stays at Trooper's.
@Titus: Madonna and SJP still suck donkey.
ReplyDeleteI'll argue that until the cows come home.
DBQ,
ReplyDeleteIncredible nonsense. Nice swan song. I imagine it's been deleted already, though. Your comments are always a plus, so the place has already deteriorated with your absence. I get less drama out of the teenage girls I employ. Too bad things went that way.
BJM, that's great news, can't wait to see Shirley MacLaine in the role as Lady Grantham's mother, lol!
ReplyDeleteSixty is just feeling onery this morning. Don't pay him no never mind. You should always speak your mind here.
ReplyDeleteWe all welcome Peter here as we are all castaways on Gilligans island. Just sayn'
Chickie, but Allie and Ritmo are very entertaining, especially when we have online fights, lol. Besides we are lovable .
ReplyDeletePeter is a stand up guy not a wet gaping pussy like Garage Mahal who was also invited to come by but doesn't have the cujones.
ReplyDeleteDarn that Garage Mahal, we need more commies here, but a commie with no sense of humor, nyet. So dissapointing.
ReplyDelete@Sixty
ReplyDeleteI'm no longer so sure who is actually the stooge.
IMO, a serious decline in quality began when the two personalities merged and quickly went downhill after the protests finished...there's a whiff of desperation.
I'll prolly get snitched out, but I don't care and that's the truth! Pfffttph!!
@Chickenlittle...your muse's initials weren't by any chance, T.M. were they?
ReplyDeleteEverso often I come across a fellow traveler.
When we are making the show I make sure that my wife is happy and nice to everyone and the crew all loves her. Me they see the mean face some of the time and they know they can't step too far out of line. You have to good cop bad cop them.
ReplyDeleteOr if ndspinelli was doing it then it would be good wop bad wop. Just sayn'
So things are not always as they seem. You can be a hachet man but you are just doing what the boss says. Just sayn'
ReplyDeleteIm seriously thinking of reviving my joke blog that I've done nothing with just to fuck with Meade and keep him hopping deleting posts.
ReplyDeletehttp://geetzromo.blogspot.com/
I'm not as talented as Trooper in creating alternate blogs and alternate personalities, though. Maybe I'll get The Dumbplumber to help me....He is the KING of snark.
Probably more trouble than it is worth, but fun to contemplate.
I agree with BJM.
@ Allie. I too have quit wearing bras....at least at home (bra in public) and since retiring.
Turns out I've developed an allergy to the metal and some of the elastic in the bras. I'm too old to be barefoot and pregnant...so I'm just barefoot and bra-less. My husband doesn't seem to mind at all. LOL
You can be a hachet man but you are just doing what the boss says. Just sayn'
ReplyDeleteI like the notion of Meade = Paulie Walnuts.
@DBQ
ReplyDeleteDo it! The overly pompous are such fun to mess with.
I gave up wearing bras back in the 60's and the girls still pass the pencil test.
LOL, DBQ, I must admit that the old girls need some support in public.
ReplyDeleteBJM, SOOOO jealous here! But it may depend on the size of the girls.
ReplyDelete@BJM: No. Henry is Henry Taube. He was a chemistry PhD student at Berkeley back in the '40s when G.N. Lewis ran the show. He told me once that at departmental seminars, the faculty would tear into each, yell & call each other names, etc. when the students were watching. But then they'd always retire to the bar or faculty club and patch things up over drinks.
ReplyDelete@DBQ: Sorry you had to leave there like that.
ReplyDeleteBJM said--Amazon shipped the pre-ordered DA Season 2 DVD's on Monday. Yea! I'll be knee-deep in popcorn & the remaining episodes by late afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThis may go without saying, but what the hell:
No spoilers, please.
I'm from the "if they aren't firm at least they're large" school of "thinking."
ReplyDeletetits
@chickenlittle
ReplyDeleteI'm from the "if they aren't firm at least they're large" school of "thinking."
Yeah, women do have an advantage there.
BJM, are you a guy?!
ReplyDeleteMore Paulie Lack-of-Nuts so to speak.
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for getting my slippers for me the other day. A lot of bloggers wouldn't have done it. I appreciate humbleness. Something that I've tried (not always successful) to practice. I've noticed, that when I reached the mid-sixties of life, for me it's been easier. I relish my ability from my humble station in life, of my ability, and want to, to project my offering of help.
ReplyDeleteI guess I had the lawnboy as Vito Spatafore..bad wop/gay wop[in leather], NTTAWWT.
ReplyDeleteI always thought of the weedeater as kind of a Fredo type. You know, since they live on a lake perhaps one day the two of them will take their boat out and only the dried up slunk meat will return. NTTAWWT.
ReplyDeleteI spent the afternoon selling scrap metal. If emulating Bubs does not make one humble, then one cannot be humble. Of course once I got my cash I was all like "Where's the crack? Where de ho's at?" Then I checked myself, hopped in my truck and left Durham. Once I returned to my domecile I was thankful to be home, be it ever so humble.
Sorry about the deletion - my editing is a bit off due to exposure to heavy metal dust and loud noises. The personnel at the scrap yard could not have been better - they truly were a treat to work with.
I don't want to get all holy roller on you but I take my lesson from Jesus. I mean he wasn't too proud to wash his friends feet. So I am always ready to do something for anyone who askes. No task is too menial for me. I mean I wash the freaking toilet in the store.
ReplyDeleteI came in this morning and they hadn't started filming yet. So I took out the vacum and started cleaning. That's what you do.
You need to stay humble.
Sixty isn't "The Wire" one of the best fucking shows you ever watched? I mean it was no bullshit it told it the way it is. Everyone is on the take and you are all at risk. It is such a great show. Any douchenozzle that tells you they don't watch TV should sit down and check out a couple of episodes of "The Wire."
ReplyDeleteYou need to stay humble.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep things neat too.
I'm having a productive day. GOD I love retirement!! I don't think I could handle all of the go go go excitement of Trooper's life right now.
Made myself a roll up padded knitting needle case for those double pointed needles. Keeps all those needles from getting mixed up and me cursing. Cut out some fabric to make some gift aprons tomorrow.
Made some rolls and cole slaw for dinner and put a pork roast in the oven.
Finishing up with a glass of wine (or two) while the Mr. is napping, surfing the net and listening to music.
Did I mention I love retirement?
I know much about Bawmer, spent many years in and around there, and it cracks me up when real Baltimorons they hired have some lines. The Baltimore accent is so strong that it cannot be denied, nor can it be faked. When the Brit who played McNulty tried to say "Downy ocean" it was just sad. But the woman who plays the school administrator and the one real police they hired, probably as a sop to the pleece union speak their lines - it is obvious that they are the real deal.
ReplyDeleteI will be sad when I get through the last season. It has been quite the ride.
Much as watching all 86 episodes of The Sopranos caused me to talk as if I was from New Jersey, The Wire is causing me to sound as if I am from Droodle Park. Not good.
As for corruption in democrat cities, that show, even though written by fucking commies, serves as strong confirmation bias.
Trooper. What do you think about that new cop show Blue Bloods? It is set in NYC.
ReplyDeleteDoes it seem accurate to you?
Seemed to be ok to me, except they were trying to cram too much information into the opening show.
But, what do I know.
I watch tv shows. I just don't watch them on tv. Too cheap to shell out for high-end cable.
ReplyDeleteSeason 3 of The Wire was amazing. I couldn't get past the apparent heroic-journalist storyline at the start of season 5, tho.
As for commies, Allie at least, is nice. That she chooses to ignore the 100 million deaths caused by communism in the 20th century, well, there is nothing I can do about that.
ReplyDeleteRitmo - seriously - who can read what he writes? At least J was succinct. Throw in a few Byros and wicca perps and the two are indistinguishable, other than by word count.
My comments about Peter Hoh stand - he is a fucking dangerous rat. But he is a commie cocksucker.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteNow, now Sixty, Ritmo is my special guy, he was there for me when you all were ready to burn me at the stake. That counts for a lot , don't ya say?
ReplyDeleteBUT now we are one big happy familia.
I cannot find fault in your choice of friends. Enjoy. Chacun à son goût.
ReplyDeleteSpeakin' of gout - man, my toe hurts!
Sixty, isn't "The Wire" one of the best fucking shows you ever watched?
ReplyDeleteDamn right! What a great show. Rented it, and sometimes did a marathon to watch an entire season in one day.
I made the mistake of watching the actors commentary at the end of the last episode. Buncha British and Irish commies, mostly, especially the guy who played McNulty.
Next up on DVD is Sons of Anarchy.
*Side note* Mrs H hasn't worn a bra for decades. Not even to work. A few layers of shirts some days, but that's it. Sounds like there may be a free-range girls support (?) group here.
What is great about the journalist story is they show what liars and cheats they are. I don't want to spoil it for Sixty but it is real interesting and shows why the only thing worse than a journalist is a lawyer.
ReplyDeleteThe deal with Blue Bloods that is so unbelievable is that every hot crime in the city is being handled by one detective who is the police commissioner's son. In real life no body would get away with that. The commissioner's son would be in a sinecure where he wouldn't get into any trouble. Not rousting knuckleheads or beating up suspects in the box.
ReplyDeleteCurrently the police commissioner's son is a TV reporter who is jammed up because he was banging some broad who is claiming rape when they have her on tape making out with him and leading him by the hand into her apartment. Now that's reality TV.
You are gonna love "Sons of Anarchy" Micheal. Especailly season Two. It is great.
ReplyDeleteKatey Segal is over the top great. Unbelievable. You will love it.
You should also rent "Justified" which is a big favortie with both me and Dust Bunny Queen. Top notch entertainment. Once again season 2 is great. Check it out.
Michael "free range" sounds a bit too bovine, I got myself in trouble mooing before.
ReplyDeleteThanks Troop.I know the originator of The Wire was a commie who worked for the Bawmer Sun, hon, so it stands to reason that he would present himself as some sort of hero. As if. Dude, you wrote for one of the worst commie rags this side of Pravda, get a grip.
ReplyDeleteI have a nail gun and some lime - meet you down by the vacants, okay hero?
Actually Sixty is totally different than you think it will play out. Trust me. I hate journalists and this guy gives you the true deal about they really do in real life. This series really is true to life in every respect. Fucked up schools. What crack heads are really like. How reporters lie. Trust me you will be pleasantly surprised.
ReplyDelete@Chip S
ReplyDeleteMum's the word..no way I'd ruin it for everyone.
@allie
ReplyDeleteBJM, are you a guy?!
Ummm..no, but I hang out with guys a lot.
I was wondering if I should post this since we're deep into The Wire and SoA (best and 2nd best series since Homicide)...but for you rom-com movie buffs and tenderhearted guys (yeah, we see ya grinning when you stop to watch a chick flick).
P-Dub's having a Matchoff Tournament between the all-time best Rom-Coms...or if you're an 80's dweeb, scroll down and take "The Breakfast Club" quiz.
Dust Bunny Queen just won new respect, in my book.
ReplyDelete(Hope that wasn't too difficult to read!)
@BJM: I think Allie asked you that because of the odd way you responded to my comment back up thread at 4:37.
ReplyDeleteDBQ has always had my respect.
ReplyDeleteBut I never like to see people flounce off anywhere.
I appreciate that the "Mary problem" is a complex one over there--at least as much so as the "J" one was here.
And at the expense of disagreeing with some (while agreeing with pocopollo) I had the same idea regarding Mary.
ReplyDeleteThere was something downright stalkerish about how she went about things. It's almost like agreement or disagreement didn't even matter to her, so much as did browbeating for its own sake.
I know I've often latched on to comments with which I took issue, with the tenacity of an obsessive Rottweiler. But there were always other moments, as well.
You should also rent "Justified" which is a big favortie with both me and Dust Bunny Queen
ReplyDeleteOh Yeah! Raylan can clean my porch anytime! (reference to a scene in the first season) I just wish he would get rid of his skank wife.
Gonna miss Mags Bennett though. She was a great character.
Love the show.
But I never like to see people flounce off anywhere.
It IS a two edged sword. Easy to flounce out with great drama. But, embarassing if you happen to slink back.
I just got tired of trying to have a discussion when half of the comments were erased for no good reason.
@BJM:
ReplyDeleteBTW, I just now google image searched Amy Nuttall. I'll bet her boyfriend takes her name when they marry.
Chickie, thanks for translating Allie speak to BJM, lol, you are right that is why I asked.
ReplyDeleteBJM and to be perfectly honest, after your perky boob comment , I was so hoping you be a guy damn! JK;)
ReplyDeletePhew. I think I caught up, but still missed a lot!
ReplyDelete@DBQ - I love Justified and I miss Mags too! What a rich character she was.
Is it braless Tuesday? I came unprepared!
Whoa - bouncing to go with flouncing - might this be the best thread ever?
ReplyDeleteEasy enough to fix, Darcy.
ReplyDeleteI walked right into that one. :)
ReplyDeleteDarcy! I missed you!
ReplyDeleteWe ladies just have to be careful about going braless in a large group of sailors, hehe.
ReplyDeleteHi Allie! ;-)
ReplyDeleteTroop, you've persuaded me to watch S5 of The Wire.
ReplyDeleteI may have to buy the DvD of The Wire.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to give HBO any money since they killed Deadwood. And that's a bummer because I really wanted to see Game of Thrones.
But....a vendetta isn't any good unless you carry it through.
"The Wire" is one of the best series I watched last year. Trooper recommended it then too.
ReplyDeleteTrooper = wise
The final scene of S3 of TW is right up there with the ending to "Newhart", IMO.
ReplyDeleteHey Darcy!
ReplyDeleteLift and separate?
I mean subscribe to HBO, just to watch one or two shows.
ReplyDelete@DBQ: Is Netflix not an option?
ReplyDeleteI don't have the peripheral equipment to watch on the Tee Vee. (I don't think? I'm not so up on all of the newest streaming options) We don't have a smart television. Just a moderately retarded one.
ReplyDeleteWe can watch on the computer...but that's no fun.
I used to have cable almost exclusively for HBO... well, as far as premium channels went. And then The Sopranos and Rome ended and I didn't see much point in paying huge sums to Comcast for Big Love and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteI heard the programming's gotten better since, or at least it comes and goes. But still don't see a point in it.
LOL. Are you saying I need some extra help, chickelit?
ReplyDeleteLet me give you a hand with those.
ReplyDeleteWhatever's comfortable!
ReplyDeleteYou can find almost anything on Netflix or Hulu Plus.
ReplyDeleteA big hand for the little ladies? Heh. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of saucy boys you are!
ReplyDeleteIf a big hand is what's required, then so much the better.
ReplyDeleteYeah you guys are soooo fresh! That's what my mothers generation called it.
ReplyDeleteRitmo is being such a gentleman.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend at home on Netflix: "Lemmy", "Infamous", and "Gettysburg".
ReplyDelete"RHCP: Funky Monks" was at the top (it just got released to NetFlix) but it's already short-waited.
tits
ReplyDelete(That's my tribute to Titus, BTW).
Although to be perfectly honest, it's Allie who taught me restraint.
I've been a gentleman and "hands off" so far if you'd care to notice.
ReplyDeleteWell damn Ritmo , unlearn that.
ReplyDeleteWhat is "short-waited" and can you tell my how "Funky Monks" was once you see it, or if you already have?
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember something along those lines... was it a documentary?
I met a girl (all right, a woman -- sigh, rolls eyes) a few weeks ago whose ex was good friends with John Frusciante. She told me about what it was like to hang out with his mom. She was very involved in anti-drug charities and such, not surprisingly.
You so funny, Allie ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, I intentionally dropped the verb.
Chickie, you can be pretty naughty at times. Of course I'm as pure as the driven snow.
ReplyDelete@chicklit--Thanks. The ungentlemanly among us appreciate restraint on the part of others.
ReplyDeleteThat goes for Ritmo, too.
Heilige sheiss! I missed that Chickie was watching a movie about Lemmy, too!
ReplyDeleteDamn.
I never really picked up on Motorhead the way I did Chilies and such, but that is a cool list of selections.
The guy did/does? have cool sideburns, tho. And a cool way of angling his microphone.
I'm as pure as the driven snow.
ReplyDeleteIsn't "driven" the state of snow just before it gets plowed?
"Short-waited" just means they don't have enough physical DVDs to ship your choice. Happens with new releases. I'll look into streaming it.
ReplyDeleteWhat are we drinking tonight, dear friends? Jameson here.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Chip. It's confidence ;-) Enjoy the scenery all you want. Heh.
ReplyDeleteWhy Chip how astute of you!
ReplyDelete@Ritmo,
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't seen "Funky Monks" yet. Loved the album though and I've good things about it.
@Allie: Me? naughty? I think I'm much worse on Twitter.
ReplyDeletemissing verb is "heard"
ReplyDeleteAye, Jameson for solidarity! FREE IRELAND!!!
ReplyDeleteWe're just dropping verbs left and right tonight.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even keep up with them well enough between Blood Sugar and Stadium Arcadium to know if there was an album by that name. I just remember the song name from Blood Sugar.
Blood sugar, baby! She's magic! Sex magic! Sex magic!
Drop the beat. Drop the bass.
ReplyDeleteRestraint? That's what I thought was being offered!
ReplyDeleteWell, it depends on your perspective, Darcy. Who's being offered and who's doing the offering!
ReplyDeletePretty soon this will start to feel like a damn swingers' party.

ReplyDeletePass the Jameson, please.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to see why this blog was set on "private".
ReplyDeleteKeep your privates private, gentlemen.
Saving Ryan's Privates.
*Passes bottle to Chip* Here ya go, Chip!
ReplyDeleteI have no excuse. I have had no cocktails.
ReplyDeleteJust hospital duty. I got a hug tonight!
Thanks, MHaz.
ReplyDeleteJust the thing after the 3/4 bottle of pinot I downed with dinner.
Who's Ryan?
ReplyDeleteI have to hit the road for Trader Joe's
Requests?
Chimichurri rice!
ReplyDeleteWas it from a cute doc, Darcy?
ReplyDeleteI quote A Beautiful Mind and say:
ReplyDelete"The cock belonged to me and the tail was that of a fine young girl..."
What sort of duty do you do at a hospital, Darcy?
Darcy - How awesome was that??!!
ReplyDeleteTrail mix, with honey!
ReplyDelete@Darcy:
ReplyDeleteMindreader!
Sorry to be oblivious on that one. I think I understand now.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteLMAO I spelled it right!
ReplyDeleteI haven't scoped out any cute docs yet, Allie.
ReplyDeleteI volunteer in the cardiac unit, Ritmo.
@Michael:
It was the best. This lady was trying to get her mom discharged. The poor woman just wanted to go home. They asked me to sit and talk with them for a bit and when I left, the daughter hugged me.
A little bit of medicine for me. :)
Ohhhhh, Trader Joes, duh.
ReplyDeleteCardiac unit nurses are the best. I speak from experience. Everyone I met was an angel. Or angle. No, they were angels.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me Darcy, it's much more fun being a volunteer.
ReplyDeleteSixty, did they give your heart new lease on life? Want to say what your surgery was? Just nosy. It's OK if you don't want to share.
ReplyDeleteHee. Sixty. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAllie, I only do 2.5 hours. It's nothing. Everybody there works hard and I see that. I'm really happy just to be there.
I think I understand what you're saying, Allie. But I respect the hell out of anyone who does volunteer.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when the volunteer relaxes by joining in some dopey comments thread afterward.
Cardiac club member here. The volunteers were angels. Very greatly appreciated.
