Keep your chins up!


I was corresponding with Palladian late last night and told him to keep his chins up.  I explained that I know how hard it is too swallow your pride but since he likes to swallow it shouldn't be such a big deal. I asked him if he had anything he would like to share with us. This  was his reply:


Ha,
 
It's good to have a laugh again. I will do my best to keep
my chins up, but remember that I'm supporting more chins than a Chinese father without access to birth control.
 
As for swallowing, you're right, but being the big fag
that I am, I usually drop to my knees to swallow rather than getting up on my feet.
 
To be serious, and you can post this as a note from me, I'm
really humbled that anyone cares about me, let alone a bunchof people that I haven't met in person for the most part.To tell the truth, I'm especially humbled that Theo Boehm would express interest in helping me as I was a bit of an
asshole to him. I've got a tough and abrasive style online sometimes, but I'm really just a squish and it actually pains me to have discord with someone. This homeless experience, the meltdown of my life, has taught me a lot about what's important life. It's probably difficult for anyone to believe, because I
don't talk about it, but my faith in God's grace and mercy has helped me through some really dark hours, and will through many more. I consider everyone's kindness to me to be a manifestation of that grace and mercy, and I'd like to apologize to Theo and to anyone else I've hurt, for what it's worth.
 
I will come over to your blog and visit. I forgot that I
have an invite.
 
Thanks again,

Evan

I have met Palladian in person before and I can smell a scam a mile away. This is the real deal of which I have no doubt. Unlike other people who like to deal though mysterious secret emails I asked if I could publish what he wanted to say about this situation. I asked if his Paypal would work and he said is should work fine.  I also asked if there was another way to forward funds directly and he said he would get back to me later today.

Meade is not in cahoots with Palladian. I know we are all wary of anything to do with him. What I suggest is that everyone should do what they want and keep it to themselves. That is the best way. We are not Meade or Althouse where we have to trumpet our good works like the Philistines. Most of us are real committed Christians and the act is recognition enough.

Thank youse guys. You are good eggs.

Thanks for the update, Trooper.

I'd like to hit his PayPal jar. Please post a link to his website, as indent know what it is called.

Darcy said...

Beautiful. Life, as it should be - neighbors helping each other.

Bless you all.

Trooper York said...

By the way Darcy.....blake asked me to find out your position on swallowing?

He was too shy to ask you himself.

Trooper York said...

I hate mushy stuff.

ndspinelli said...

Thanks Trooper and way to keep it classy! I never have used PayPal but assume it's easy.

Good detective work. I simply didn't want to see anyone get suckered here my Meade. Con men usually use a mark's greed against them. But, sometimes they use their anger as leverage.

Darcy said...

Trooper! Hahaha.

(Blake would probably just ask me himself, tho.)

garage mahal said...

I always liked Palladian, although I'm not sure if it's reciprocal. But I'll gladly hit his tip jar.

Meade is nasty, nasty little cocksucker.

chickelit said...

*gulp*

bagoh20 said...

That jacuzzi just needs to be thrown out, burnt, and buried as hazardous material.

Things should be looking up for Palladian soon - he's got lots of friends.

ndspinelli said...

garage, You be preachin' to the choir here.

Trooper York said...

I just want to point out that people like Sixty and Ritmo and Garage and me who are all touchy fucks can sort of get along here without the passive aggressive mind fucks that go on at TOP.

You have to be a diseased mind like Inga and Titus to be drummed out of the corp. Just sayn'

ndspinelli said...

The new poll is a Gloria Swanson moment from Sunset Blvd. Wow!!!

Be sure not to allude to it at Lem's, b/c the resulting shitstorm will be all your fault.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

I'm so tempted to allude all over the place. It reminds me of those long long tedious road trips with my parents where my brother and I are trapped in the back seat. After awhile, running out of I spy games or word games or twenty questions, our last resort of entertainment was to irritate each other.

Poke....MOM...he's touching me.
Glare...MOM....she's looking at me.
Mom: Don't make me come back there!!!! Dad. Gripping the wheel with white knuckles.
Us: Look at each other and giggle
Put foot on his side of the car: WAAAH...she's on my side of the car.
Toss a food wrapper: Hey....He's throwing things at me.

Steam coming out of my parent's ears. This was in the 50's in a car without A/C crossing the Sonora desert. It's a wonder they let us live.

Good times. Don't tempt me to allude.

:-D

You are a good egg too Troop. So are the rest of you.

Jesus Christ, but that level of poison is something even I don't touch. Troop, you were right, goddamit. I don't even know what the fuck just happened.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

Palladian, I wish you the best. I know this sucks (and not in a good way) but this will pass.

Like a kidney stone, perhaps, but it will pass.

windbag said...

Hell, I'm still here, so I can't imagine how twisted you have to be to get the boot.

windbag said...

Insta has comments now. I wonder if that's his response to the blond bitch's attacks on his missus? She's done.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

windbag, Instapundit says it has been long in the works and has nothing to do with Althouse. I believe that to be true. Reynolds is friends with Ann and Meade and figures Ann is dealing with most pain in the ass commentators. He has neither the time or inclination to figure out what is really going on.

When Charles Johnson melted down it took a long time for a lot of people to realize what a POS he had become (or rather what he finally revealed himself to always be).

Dust Bunny Queen said...

It would be funny to see what the water level is in that hot tub after everyone got out.

Methadras:

Inga is a deranged, paranoid, drama queen. She has accused me of being Trooper, Audie Murphy's Mom (a parody site that made fun of her for her idea that because her daughter was in the military it gave her the trump card. Accused me of stalking her and being various other internet personalities. She is a very disturbed person. She pulls this exact stunt in every blog that she infests. Trooper booted her out when her disruptive antics and malice towards MamaM became just too unbearable.

As I recall, she posted some stuff about her kids and her family to "prove" that she really had such kids etc. In effect she outed herself. What a dim bulb.

My suggestion, and I know it is hard because you (and I) want to put her in her place, is to just ignore everything she says. All she wants is attention.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

But I bet instapundit's traffic will go up. That is the reason many sites have comments. And it makes Ann's lack of them all the more glaring.

Trooper York said...

I think this photo has been up long enough.

We need a palate cleanser.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

Inga is a weird cat. Best to ignore her. She is not worth the effort.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

Troop, I agree. Frolicking walruses should be released back into the wild. I never liked those sea parks.

The Crack Emcee said...

I couldn't be prouder to kinda-know a group than what I am now. Truly beautiful.

P and I have traded barbs, but nothing too serious. I hope he rises again.

I just got my MRI. It was brutal.

Gotta sleep now.

No, I understood that from every interaction I had with her. I just didn't know about what you described and when she threatened to contact my employer about whatever, he would most likely just ignore it and move on anyway, but the problem is, is that it would be compromising my personal and professional relationships and that is a direct assault on my livelihood. Something I wouldn't do to anyone. I don't care if people know my name or what city I live in or where I work. That's fairly public knowledge, I get that, but wow, to go after my livelihood like that? That's just beyond the pale. Now I have to call my attorney and see if there is any civil or criminal intent here that I'm going to have to deal with. What a pain in the ass.

Methadras said...

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

I think using the word 'weird' is a teensy tiny bit of an understatement.

The Dude said...

You need to get in touch with someone who knows people. Someone whose name ends in a vowel.

Like Troopski - he could make her an offer she couldn't understand.

Methadras said...

Anyway, I wasn't trying to make this about me. I'm just glad Palladian has people on his side willing to help him out if he asks.

TTBurnett said...

As a result of all this—the latest being Meade seems to have added "Scandal Monger" to his resumé—I am seriously rethinking my idea to provide an alternative, somewhat more secure site for former Althousians. The vindictive crazies, starting at the top of the heap, are just too much.

I feel I have nothing to hide and am pleased to use my real name. I am more free with my comments here than I would be in a more public forum, but I thought it would just be a matter of degree. Now, I'm not so sure.

Between the likes of Inga and Meade, I'm coming to the conclusion that ANY public forum of ex-Althousians will be subject to the worst kind of threatening misbehavior. "Free speech" turns into speechlessness. The champion of free expression is now, through her agent, the paranoid enforcer of silence.

So, I'm going to say goodbye to that WordPress blog. I don't have time for it, anyway. And, like the rest of you, I'll be content enough to shelter my unguarded thoughts at Trooper's.

As for Darcy, we know she can swallow her pride which is about all we can ask of a good human being.

I looked for a karaoke version on "My Generation" to chirbitize but failed.

Maybe "Bell Boy"?

I'm going to take a wait and see attitude at the moment simply because in filing a restraining order means that public knowledge of why the order is filed is out there and that might affect me in unintended ways with regards to my work. Fuck, this is ridiculous. I can't believe someone can be this demented. I mean it's seriously delusional and demented.

blake: Those are excellent little psychological studies. I recall Virtual Treason, and, like Trooper, I loved it and thought--and still think--it's spot-on.

It also makes me think how long I've been online
You'd think I'd get used to this shit.

Trooper York said...

Meth don't do anything that might backfire. Just wait it out. And don't engage her in any way. Then see what happens. If you don't mention her she will find someone else to target like Marshal or whoever engages her.

Trooper York said...

Tim it is what it is.

I think we have a nice safe little perch here at Gilligans Island so we can talk like civilized adults.

Even you spinelli.

TTBurnett said...

There's some real talent and very good stuff at Lem's place. It confirms something I've long suspected: The Althouse commentariat was among the most able collection of writers in one place on the internet. They've been frustrated over the years by the narrow confines of Althousia, but now that they're free, they're performing great deeds.

I couldn't help that last sentence. I've been reading Icelandic sagas again.

TTBurnett said...

Well, roasted chicken is waiting for this "civilized adult."

My younger son just rolled in from a 12 mile run.
I'll see if I can make it downstairs.
They said at his prep school they were "saving civilization."
I say, save some for me. And I'll take the mashed potatoes, and a little pinot noir with that.

I was just looking through my books and found a copy of the Icelandic sagas and manuscripts.

An Icelandic coworker told be about them and I read that book 20 years ago or so.

All I remember from it is don't mess with Icelanders.

That and the winner of World's Strongest Man competition is usually named Magnus. Or Magnusson.

Okay, I do remember one other thing - I was talking to the guy one day and said "How many people live in Iceland?"

He said "About 250,000".

I replied "Okay, name them!"

Yeah, it's a wonder I am still walking around on the surface here, he was a big ol' boy.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Second the 7:33.

Icelandic, eh?

Have you ever watched some of the polyglot community's videos that have been emerging on YouTube? I saw one by this teenager in NYC who's speaking upwards of 20 languages with some degree of fluency.

I got bored in high school and starting teaching myself linguistics, and some assorted languages here and there. Never more than a dozen here and there and generally not much more than introductory phrases, numbers and basic phonology, but still loved it for the sake of historical and comparative linguistics. So obviously the conservative nature of Icelandic was quite appealing - especially since it seems simpler than something like Russian.

I don't remember much of it at all, other than its retention of interdental fricatives in the orthography, and which vocabulary made it into English via seafaring berserkers and such.

Daniel Tammet's recent claim to have learned it in less than a week is the only thing I've heard recently -- well, that and some newer Icelandic bands.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

The interdental fricatives even have names, as I recall: eth and thorn, right?

Is my memory that accurate on it? I actually tried to recall that without looking it up. (But I will now).

Paddy O said...

Icelandic Sagas have the best gods. Just sayin'...

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

If you're going to give your medieval god a weapon or implement as a namesake, it's hard to go wrong with a hammer. After all, it forges all the other ones!

bagoh20 said...

You know Inga and I get along in a detente kinda way. I kind of stick up for her and try to talk her down off the ledge, and she doesn't go all fatal attraction on me, but man, that girl is scary obsessive. She's like a Pit Bull once she gets into a fight, and I know Pits. If she had a stick of dynamite in her mouth, she would't let you take it even after you lit the fuse.

The Dude said...

Pit bulls are intelligent, loyal and housebroken.

Inga, not so much.

You got it Ritmo. But you didn't post anything ontoward. In fact it is as good explanation as any and might help people like Meth and me walk away. Back away really.

Life is too short.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Ok, good. I just don't want it getting out there... back to you-know-who.

I'll probably even save all that for reference if need be and delete later. But the point you need to know is I regret that it led to a certain someone making a mess of the place. I feel a certain responsibility over it when someone else's initial judgment was obviously better. If I vouch for someone and they let me down, that doesn't sit well with me. And that's because I tend to be trustworthy and my judgments in that regard sound and typically respected. Betraying my trust with someone I've led others to trust is something that I take very personally.

I'll explain whatever other parts are missing later, when I get around to catching up next. But you're a sharp guy - it sounds like you get it.

Yes, Magnus Van Magnusson. I was a really big fan of strong man competitions. They were fun to watch in the middle of the night when they first started, then started gaining popularity in the early 2000's. Not sure where they are now.

Magnus Ver Magnusson. I assume that's an Icelandic thing.

Don't judge yourself to harshly. I am as guilty as anyone of egging on the piling on of the lunacy that was displayed, but I never thought that level of egregious acrimony and after the stunt today over @ Lem's, I just went whoa, this is way way way going to far and for what? Self-satisfaction? Fine. You want the to win so bad that you would try to destroy other people to do it? Then I thought, what is the prize here? There is none, which made me realize that final disengagement was simple and necessary. So that's exactly what I did. I can live with detente and forget it ever happened.

TTBurnett said...

I can't leave it alone.
I have just blown a dog whistle for Meade from the farthest corners of the internet.
If he runs up, fangs bared, I'll know they're actually NSA agents, which may at least explain the paranoia.

Now, why can't we move on to high-quality JPEG's of Adrienne Barbeau?

All this fuzzy picture crap has got to stop, Trooper. You need to hire a teenager with a MacBook.

TTBurnett said...

It worked! It fucking worked!!

Mention "Althouse" in the most obscure, unused site, on the internet, and 5 minutes later, someone from Madison shows up!

We're dealing with serious sickos, or maybe the U of Wisc. Law School is in cahoots with the NSA.

Or maybe all Meade has to do is sit there, guarding his Precious.

I think we all should start using Tor and register our domains in Bulgaria.

yashu said...

No kidding, TTB?

Wow.

TTBurnett said...

Seriously. Fucking nutcases.

I'm going to pull the site. This is scary.

TTBurnett said...

Or at least pull the post that was the dogwhistle.

I'm sitting at the dining room table having a little after-dinner "fun."

I wonder if I'll get audited for this.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

...guarding his Precious...

Lol.

Regarding things "Precious"... and, well, blonde, er "mature", and female:

I'm reminded of a Greg Giraldo skit on those classic Comedy Central roasts where he berated (it's ok among insult comics! -- Just got back from reading the untitled Deborah post - what a wreck..) the other comics and Joan Rivers by saying:

"What a night! A couple of trolls, a fairy and a giant, all going after a sunken-eyed little monster who's obsessed with jewelry. It's like The Lord of the Rings!"

My apologies to blonde, mature females who are not Joan Rivers or EBL.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Wow, that sucks @10:32. I was hoping some good things could start really getting off the ground.

Seeing how horribly Inga derailed what Meade started at Lem's was putting me in the mood to find a way to better interwebs cheer.

Seriously, what is wrong with people?

chickelit said...

How much time would Meadhouse have to invest to answer a dog whistle like that? They may be using a google alert to gather such info, but still they've got to be looking at the alerts.

TTBurnett said...

Well, it was just a test. I pulled the *insert dog whistle sound* post. I expect no more traffic. There hasn't been any in a month.

Anyone can do it. Do you have an old, unused blog or other website? Just put up a post mentioning you-know-who, and see what happens.

If you add a link, someone will be right over.

TTBurnett said...

I sometimes feel as if we're in a Panopticon.

Maybe I'll put up a post about 18th century prison reform, and label it "Meade."

Michael Haz said...

They get an alert from goog whenever their name(s) are used. Then John Deere takes the manure wagon for a ride so he can dump a load.

A fun version of Where's Waldo would be to insert the name in a comment on every website one visits.

TTBurnett said...

If everyone starts doing dogwhistle tests, it may give Meade some much-needed new challenges.

TTBurnett said...

An excellent plan, Michael! An excellent plan!

chickelit said...

How about a twitter hashtag game: #Althouse?

Chip S. said...

These are great ideas, but I refuse to put her on MILF Island.

Even I think there have got to be some minimal standards of decency.

TTBurnett said...

Here's the deal, from Michael Haz, the most perspicacious commenter on the internet:

Any time you visit a blog or website where you can get away with it, insert the word, "Althouse" at the end of your text. You can explain this as a tribute to a retired colleague or something similar.

Following the resulting Google alerts will give new meaning to Meade's life.

TTBurnett said...

And I second El Pollo's excellent Twitter advice!

Why didn't anyone think of this sooner??

TTBurnett said...

You're right, Chip. Of course.

Chip S. said...

I'll confess that I've always assumed they did this.

I mean, the gardening season in WI can't be very long. What else is there for the guy to do?

Chip S. said...

Let me be clear, Tim, that the "decency" I had in mind was the quality of photos I put on MILF Island, not the taunting of A&M.

I love the idea of putting their names everywhere.

Michael Haz said...

Our lips are sealed

There's a weapon
That we must use
In our defense
Silence

Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed

Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies

Can you hear them?

Telling lies
Well that's no surprise

Of course, it could all just result in a boring summary to read in the morning.

But I like to imagine Meade glued to the computer, eyeballs bulging, water bottle in hand, fast food wrappers everywhere, wearing a diaper, hand quivering over the trackpad, ready to pounce on anyone even alluding to Her Precious Name.

Chip, George Zimmerman has saved more people from cars than Ted Kennedy.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

While we hope that that ugly eye of Sauron sleeps (Panopticon is a brilliant metaphor, TIm), I posted a comment at a site linked to a post by Deborah where she polls requests for music selections.

A commenter named "Meade" posts the following request:

"Blonde yodelers in helmets with horns on them, please!"

Maybe it was me ;-)

Michael Haz said...

Saaaay.....I can think of two new commenter names at Insty.....

No, I'm Meadecus!

Of course, they'd howl to Insty and he'd have the PJM admin delete.

I wasn't fucking kidding this whole time. I didn't make spurious claims without self-evident proof and it is provided. I'm being being goaded over there at this point now and I'm simply pretending it doesn't exist, but i felt it worthy of mentioning. It's not even sad, it's just downright dangerous. Seriously.

I thought going to Lem's would be fun and somewhat of a fresh start and poof the well is being poisoned before our eyes.

Michael Haz said...

I see that the guy who said he'd go away if people stopped using his and his wife's names is still hanging around at Lem's, even though no one is using their names.

Trooper York said...

I got an email from Palladian. He is much, much better. A bunch of people stepped up and he is seeing his way clear now and is in a much better place emotionally.

So we can all turn the page. Why give Lawnboy anymore traction.

Trooper York said...

Plus he is going after Rh Hardin now which is sort of like punching water if you ask me.

Well, even though Palladian's doing better, I'm still glad to kick in a few bucks, but the only way I can find to do so is through buying a print on evanizer.com. I imagine he's out of the print business for a while, and the e-commerce buttons only seem to work for a purchase. Is there any other PayPal portal? I haven't found one. It also may be due to my browsers. I'm limited to Mac at the moment, and I'm using the latest Safari and Firefox. Would those buttons work with, say, IE?

I've been waiting to install Windows 8.1. Any day now. But I want to install it on a separate SSD stuck in the semi-useless optical drive bay on my MacBook. That involves more downtime for computer surgery than I can afford at the moment. This is probably TMI, but I'm always interested if anyone else has done something similar.

And if, perchance, any of those prints are available, maybe Palladian could tell us which ones? And will my damned Mac let me buy one on his site?

Thanks.

First they came for the trees and I did not speak out because I was not a Baum.

Then they came for the shopkeepers and I did not speak out because I was not a shopkeeper.

Then they came for the artists and I did not speak out because I was not an artist.

Then they came for the chickens and I did not speak out because I was too chicken.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Hi guys. I don't know if anyone's still checking on this thread. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to make prints of my work at this point. I have a few original drawings available and I could accept some sort of commission, but commerce is basically cut off at the moment.

If anyone would like to toss some change my way, in exchange perhaps for a future print or something, you can PayPal to evanizer@gmail.com. It would be greatly appreciated.
