God bless America

I was waiting for the Fat Lady to sing. All I get is the Fat man talking about peeing.

MamaM said...

...the Fat man talking about peeing

Yeah, like the proverbial Russian racehorse, to intonations of "God Bless America."

Another splash of color added to the picture of health.

He points, he shoots....

Palladian said...

I forgot about your charming accent!

Make sure you lift that lid before you fire!

I had a lesbian friend who liked to tell a joke about GOD, Adam and Eve. Goes like this:

GOD called Adam and Eve together in the Garden of Eden and said, "I have two gifts, one for each of you and your descendents."

"The first gift," HE continued, "is the ability to pee standing up ...."

Adam jumped up and said, "I want THAT one!"

"Okay," intoned GOD*, "Eve, that means you get the ability to have multiple orgasms."

She thought that was great, and so did I, but not for the same reasons. I told her women wouldn't need to orgasm multiple times, if they could get it right the first time. That seemed to really piss her off.**

* Would GOD really say, "Okay"?

** A lot of things seemed to really piss her off, but whatever.

Darcy said...

Your addition to the joke makes funnier, Icepick.

Did she have Bitchy Resting Face? Sorry. I just got a kick out of that whole discovery.

Michael Haz said...

Yowza!

Hey, venting is good. Do you have any windows in that hospital? Go to a window, open it and arc a yellow stream on those below while shouting "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

Icepick said...

I think that should be, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to hold it anymore!"

Darcy said...

Reading TOP. Safe from losing her excellent health care plan for now, Althouse is smugly tired of the drama over Obamacare.

I don't know why I still react. But I do. Infuriating.

Cody Jarrett said...

Interesting new profile picture, Darcy.

Darcy said...

Uh oh. Interesting?

Chip S. said...

He's trying to be restrained.

I believe "hot" is what he was thinking. But that's only b/c it's my impression that Cody's a hetero male.

Chip S. said...

As for TOP, the proprietress may be feeling smug about her fabulous health insurance, but she's probably not feeling too smug about the trend in her blog's traffic.

Apparently the rest of the world doesn't think quite as highly of her prose stylings and deep thoughts as she does.

Michael Haz said...

How's a was my reaction to Darcy's new pic.

Of course, that was also my reaction to the previous pic. Consistent I am

Michael Haz said...

No! Yowza is the word. Dang autocorrect!

Michael Haz said...

I read the topic at TOP Darcy mentioned.

AA has reached a new level of sanctimony and condescension. And I'll add arrogance, because it describes the underlying attitude in what she wrote.

Obama didn't lie to me; so just stuff your little troubles because I'm okay.

Utterly despicable. Liberals love liberal policies, especially when the don't apply to liberals.

Darcy said...

Thanks, you two. :)

Isn't that post something? I think it's got to be deliberate. The "I've got mine, and I've grown bored of your troubles". Got to be. Which is really pretty nasty.

Michael Haz said...

Yore right, Darcy. We've thought she was like that all along, and now there's no more reason for her to hide her true nature. It gives me the shivers.

The Dude said...

Don't look, Trooper - you need to get better, not worse!

Cody Jarrett said...

He's trying to be restrained.

Thank you, Chip. I'm always afraid of coming off like some kind of icky creepy trench coat type of guy if I were to say something like

HOLY CRAP LOOKA THAT HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP MY GOD SHE'S HOT!

Ya know?

Cody Jarrett said...

I just want to know--who're the 17K people who went there basically today.

That's a serious question. I know there are always far more lurkers than posters, but 17K people visit and only 12 people comment (or whatever. Say 25, I don't know)?

Some kind of bot activity?

Darcy said...

LOL, Cody.

As for the visitors - I was a few of those clicks. I still read. I can't explain it. I rarely read the comments anymore though. I'm not nearly as interested in the writing.

And Michael, yeah, I suspected all along too, but was leaning more toward a lack of self-awareness. Her special commenters are taking her to task today.

Palladian said...

She's always been like that. She likes to brag about money and about how much she spends on things. She loves bragging about how wonderful her life is with her darling husband. She pretends to be a child of the Sixties but like so many of them all she really wanted was a bourgeois existence that she could rub in people's faces.

Chip S. said...

I'm guessing that 7K or so of those visits were Sixty Grit submitting some outrageous comments for Larry to delete.

Just to let the guy appear to be earning his keep.

Michael Haz said...

Darcy - those are the moderated comments. I'd like to see the raw feed.

The Dude said...

I haven't been back lately - they are such simpletons it's just not sporting. Like pickin' on their current fave HD House, Josef Mengele's niece or several others who are members here.

What I am saying is that I can usually think of something better to do. Not always, mind you, but if I think real hard I can usually dream up a better use of my time.

Cody Jarrett said...

HD House?

Chip S. said...

If her hit count keeps dropping at this pace, she may publish the raw feed just for the huge traffic spike that would ensue.

I'd go back to see that, even if it meant wading past comments by that Mengele chick.

Chip S. said...

Watching House in HD = good shit.

Reading HD House at TOP = dog shit.

Cody Jarrett said...

I'd like to know how the rankings are going WRT Legal Insurrection. Last time they took stock Jacobsen was pretty close to her.

I betcha she opens comments totally if he overtakes her for top lawprof blog.

The Dude said...

The backstory on Harold HD House is that he is a communist who lives on Long Island who brags about offshoring his money to avoid paying taxes. A hypocrite, like most progs.

He is also less literate than Titus, which is saying something.

Cody Jarrett said...

I guess I'm blanking on who that is.

MamaM said...

His avatar was a cat sitting on a chair at a formal table setting, he loved classical music, and his comment style was one short step up from garage's.

The word "baffoon" came from him and typified the tenor of his remarks.

The Dude said...

What ever happened to Garage? Will we find out if his name is mentioned here one more time?

The Dude said...

One Song of the Mountains this past Saturday a blue grass band played a song written by Tim White entitled Five Pounds of Possum.

Yep, the name Pavlov rings a bell...

The Dude said...

And I would rather be a contra-baffoon, thanks.

Chip S. said...

I knew HDH was old, but I didn't realize he used 18th-century fpellingf.

The Dude said...

That's the gag - HD sittin' around in a soiled bathrobe, yelling at his attendants that he needs to be changed - all I remembered was the tax evasion. Funny, that...

Chip S. said...

Did he have his scullery maid make stew from the flesh of small animals run over by stage coaches?

MamaM said...

'Tis possible. From Ole Factory reports, a bad fmell was involved.

Chip S. said...

Hmmm. Sounds fishy.

MamaM said...

Fmell, not found. Hmmmm all you want, they're two different fenfory experiences.

We had a series of cold air ducts in the basement that ran down to the floor, and every fall there'd be a mouse or two that would fall down them to quietly meet their fate, which would result in a faint but unmistakable bad fmell and require vent removal a screwdriver's length from the source. MrM finally removed the ducts, but the memory of the scent lingers on. Similar in my imagination to what the scullery maid might have sniffed.
