That is why the Evil Blogger Lady has been so angry lately. She isn't getting any so she has to sublimate by eating five breakfasts each morning and rubbing bacon on her twat. But even the puppies are turning up their noses.
It has been a grim winter in Wisconsin. Just sayn'
Lol! The Meade chinup thread is piss your pants funny.
ReplyDeleteNow that made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteAnd Althouse has really lost her mind.
Went after me for some reason a few days ago. She called me a 'depressing old man' and suggested I try celibacy to find 'spiritual peace', whatever the fuck that is.
It was partly because Meade doesn't know how to look up word definitions on the internets.
As for the chinup thread, I mean WTF?
You comment there? Why?
ReplyDeleteIt's best to avoid dumps like that. Places where people like phx comment. No good will come of it.
I enjoy mocking her liberal fascist tendencies.
ReplyDeleteBut 'no good will come of it' is pretty much the truth.
Is this canine satyr?
ReplyDeleteDisturbing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Crack took down comments on his blog. By the way, has TOP gotten any 100+ posts on any topics yet?
ReplyDeleteAlso, Crack took down comments on his blog. By the way, has TOP gotten any 100+ posts on any topics yet?
ReplyDeleteAlthouse only breaks 100 when Crack hijacks a thread. Hence the collusion.
Sixty is not a libertarian.
ReplyDeleteI dislike others defining who and what I am - I was merely questioning why anyone, especially someone as level-headed as the resurrected possum would comment at that shit hole that Althouse runs.
ReplyDeleteWasn't saying he shouldn't, just asking why.
Many who comment here also comment there. It's a free country, at least for now, and I don't have any problem with that. I just want to understand, that's all.
Make my Molon Labe t-shirt an XL, Spinner, and it will fit fine.
I still read Althouse pretty much every day. I didn't see where she went after you, Pogo. Huh!
ReplyDeleteI liked the chin up thread mainly because of the guy who sent his vid to them. I thought his video was adorbs.
I do get your point btw, Sixty. But honestly, I would have commented over there by now if I knew for sure I wouldn't get deleted. I'm too chicken! =)
ReplyDeleteThere are still times when I feel like commenting, though. Probably for the best that I am chicken because all of my comments would be cranky, anyway.
As to why I still read, Sixty? I have always enjoyed her writing and photography and probably equally found her fascinating. Somehow, the changes in writing and moods that she/they have gone through since the tantrum haven't made her/them less fascinating to me. Wish I knew why, but there it is.
ReplyDeleteReading is no biggie - I will even admit to reading once in a while. Then I check myself and ask if maybe there isn't something more productive I could be doing with my remaining hours on this planet.
ReplyDeleteOf course I ask myself that when I comment here too - makes me all too aware of my own mortality.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDarcy, You would never get deleted over there. She's begging for comments. I hear she's giving out blow jobs...by Meade, that is.
ReplyDeleteSixty, You got a little control freak in you. That's OK, you're wnl.
ReplyDelete@Nick
ReplyDeleteI meant that I have a fear that I'm on "the list". It's silly, I know, but if so, I don't want to be called out.
(chicken)
Darcy, If I'm not "on the list" how could you be. It's an irrational fear but having a daughter consumed by anxiety, I do empathize, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Did you just call me irrational?
ReplyDeleteMaybe. There's more history than meets the eye, is all.
Anyway, the risk is greater than the reward in this case, I think.
Considering the "reward" is vanishingly close to zero at best, and awful like a punishment at worst, I'd agree.
ReplyDeleteDarcy,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Sixty pointed out the worthlessness involved in Althousian commenting.
Yeah, she lost it again a week ago, after going back and forth with Shouting Thomas (and even Mary , yes that Mary ...AA responded to her instead of deleting. Weird).
In this post and we had this conversation:
AA: "So, then, for you too, I recommend celibacy."
Pogo: "I'm sure you do.
But that's not how it works.
Not marrying ≠ celibacy. (Were they ever equivalent?)"
AA: Of course, I realize that, but I am recommending celibacy for you because you are presenting yourself as a very grim, unpleasant person and I don't think you should inflict this on a woman or on many women or whatever sexual hijinks you're imagining for yourself.
You are a depressing old man. With celibacy, you have a chance at finding spiritual peace and depth.
I am not kidding."
What a lunatic.
And patently untrue.
ReplyDeleteSome women enjoy having a grim, unpleasant man around.
Wow. That IS weird, Pogo! It's absurd as well.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Grims are good to have around, I'm told. ;)
I'm more grimy than grim,
ReplyDeleteand I am pleasant to my wife and kids and siblings and friends and patients and staff and bosses and the janitor and um who else oh the waitstaff in restaurants.
She doesn't know me and we have never met.
I'll admit to being unpleasant to Althouse, but then again I think she's somewhat of a loon, having voted for a commie democrat liberal fascist and then writing post after post saying Damn, look at how the commies I voted for are governing!!
Now that's depressing.
Teasing aside, I very sure you are not unpleasant and grim, Pogo.
ReplyDeleteAlthouse is reaping the effects of her own unpleasantness.
Darcy, you've always been the greatest.
ReplyDeleteI think I have kept reading there, partly to see if one time -just one time- Lucy won't yank that ball away from Charlie Brown.
Hope springs eternal.
And dopes hope eternally.
Spiny - you callin' me a control freak for telling you the correct size shirt for you to purchase for me after you made the offer? I gotcher control right here - control dis!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when I speak Joisey?
You can give it to me when you visit later this year. Yeah, now that's controlling.
And WTH are 'sexual hijinks'?
ReplyDeleteHijinks!?
Wasn't that a word in Highlights in the dentis's office, in the Goofus and Gallant cartoon?
Does sexual hijinks refer to dogs wearing hose??
Man, I sure missed a lot growing up.
ReplyDeleteAww. Thanks, Pogo.
As for the hijinks - too funny. Beats me. But we'll have none of those hijinks here! Haha.
Btw, I miss the "Highlights" years of life. I remember being excited to read a new issue and get to searching for the hidden pictures!
Oh yeah, hah, I forgot about those.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be Gallant, but Goofus always seemed to have more fun.
Yeah, what was up with that - present young boys with two role models - one is clean cut, does as he's told, the other sneaks smokes, builds fires, plays with guns, has bad manners, generally raises hell, and we are supposed to aspire to being that buttoned down dweeb?
ReplyDeleteI always read those more as a how-to manual on how to annoy grown ups.
Hmm, that could explain a lot!
And the hidden pictures were way cool.
Gallant was a scold! lol
ReplyDeleteDarcy, The fear is irrational, not you.
ReplyDeleteKind of a pre-op Freeman Hunt. Oops, did I write that?
ReplyDeleteYou see, that right there is why I shouldn't comment - starts out as fun and games then pow - snark!
Back to work...
Just talkin' trash Sixty. And I love it when you talk Yankee. Do you have a Vermont or Maine accent?
ReplyDeleteBahston, you wicked stupid fuck!

ReplyDelete... "on the list" ...
At TOP there is no unique list. Everyone is on the list. You are praised and blessed beautifully from time to time. But you are always subject to the emotionally unstable petulance of TOP's hostess, and the spittle flinging wrath of her pet hobbit.
Just so those who go there and read or comment or both know the rules of TOP. You are there for TOP's amusement, nothing more.
I was among the biggest "suckers" of all, what with my defense of TOP's positions. I have apologized to all I insulted by defending TOP when it was mocked. The mockery was me.
But no more.
Darcy...BTW, it nice to see you commenting. Here's an old tune I think you posted yourself a while back...Earl Scruggs, may he RIP.Anyone who likes Scruggs is a good soul and should have nothing to fear :)
ReplyDeleteOk. The Goofus and Gallent link was pretty good. Because we got to read the out of date Highlights my dad took home from the office reception area, the hidden pictures were already found and circled before I got to them, so I had to look else where to search for hidden pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not hidden are the values and commitments revealed in the comment record over at Althouse.
She doesn't know me and we have never met.
She's had access to numerous comments made over the years by Pogo in which he's acknowledged the personal importance of faith, family, marriage, and commitment to profession and patient care. His deep regard for those relationships has come through with a consistency and clarity that can't be ignored, discounted or dismissed. I clearly remember the depth of love expressed when stroke was a concern and his beloved's life hung in the balance.
I'm guessing she does too, and wonder if caring about others and allowing them and their lives to matter to such a degree is painful territory. I can think of no other reason for the flip behavior and the seemingly deliberate putting aside of people who at one time appeared to matter in some way to her, like Palladian, Pogo, and others. Whatever the reason, it's unpleasant to witness the resulting attitude and behavior. Especially so in the face of so much evidence to the contrary.
All discussion of TOP reminds me of the old saying,
ReplyDeleteFool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
The only possible surprise at TOP would be a sudden manifestation of self-awareness and respect for commenters on the part of the bloggress. But it's more likely that the scorpion will express gratitude toward the frog.
Her ego requires traffic. Her commenters boost her traffic.
Why help her out?
MamaM, thanks for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteAnd Chip S, hard to argue with that!
MamaM - wine is a hell of a drug.
ReplyDeleteAnd Chip, I am a slow learner, and tend to hope against hope.
ReplyDeleteI like the concept of redemption - the idea that a person can find a way, if not to right the wrongs he has committed in his life, at least to acknowledge them and make amends, and perhaps, some day, through grace or some other means, find redemption.
ReplyDeleteSome of us work towards that goal, some fight it tooth and nail.
But I'll be Goddamned if I think that rotten over-inflated bag of ego will ever see the light. I think some degree of sobriety is required and she will never be sober. She has no motivation to even consider sobriety. Her pension and lawn boy will see to it that she is insulated from ever having any kind of experience that would tune her up and challenge her point of view.
And I am not pleased with myself for even commenting, again, about that harpy.
Sixty, I often wonder whether you really believe she is a drunk. Most of the time I take you as exaggerating, but your last comment makes me think otherwise.
ReplyDeleteShe often comments about religion and the teachings of Jesus. I have to say this gives me hope that she will see the light.
@Pogo
Completely changing the subject, I wonder how your liberal colleagues have reacted to the actual implementation of Obamacare.
I had a friend who is an oncologist. She was just moving from working at the NIH into private practice just before the 2008 elections. Big supporter of him and Obamacare. Sadly, I think politics caused a rift and I have no idea what she thinks of it all now. Would be interesting to know.
Darcy,
ReplyDeleteMostly they're thinking Oh shit... as it gets implemented.
In Marshfield WI at the famed Marshfield Clinic, the doctors just recently took a 10% paycut because of O-care.
Layoffs are continuing apace across the nation.
But supporters will never lose their faith, because it is a religion, and to see one's god exposed as a false idol is more than some can bear.
A little while ago, we had a doc bitching about how we had to work harder in a certain area, so my boss said 'Elections have consequences', and there was a long dead pause where no one spoke.
ReplyDeleteThen the boss moved to the next topic.
Very interesting, Pogo and much as I suspected.
ReplyDeleteYour boss rocks! lol That was great.
I have no reason to believe she has drawn a sober breath as an adult.
ReplyDeleteSHE SKIS IN A DRESS!!!
Let us speak no more of Cthulhu.
"Let us speak no more of Cthulhu."
ReplyDeleteI seriously have not actually laughed out loud while reading in 6 months.
Until now.
Pogo, you are the greatest, and I am glad I brightened your day, if only for a moment.
ReplyDeleteNow carry on, brave lad.
I don't think Althouse is a drunk.
ReplyDeleteWhen I met her and Meade at the Wisconsin student union a couple years ago, I was waiting there with my kids and a friend, Bill, and his wife (Bill and I have a drinking history that goes back 30 years now). Anyways, we had quaffed a couple pitchers of something local, waiting, catching up on things, when I spotted Althouse and Meade across the the terrace. I got up and tracked them down, steering them to the table I had saved. Bill and I continued to drink, while Althouse and Meade joined us. We weren't drunk as I define it -- which is memory impaired -- but they refused to join in. They sipped soft drinks.
Trooper met Althouse too -- maybe he can weigh in as to whether Althouse even drinks in public.
Pogo, you are the greatest, and I am glad I brightened your day, if only for a moment.
ReplyDeleteYes, Pogo is great. A "national treasure" as I believe Darcy once remarked.
MamaM wrote: I'm guessing she does too, and wonder if caring about others and allowing them and their lives to matter to such a degree is painful territory.
ReplyDeleteThis seems very astute, IMO.
That was good, wasn't it, chickenlittle?
ReplyDeleteMTM?
ReplyDeleteYes!
Prost!
Oh my gosh, that was the cutest video, Pogo.
ReplyDeleteAll in!
And if Bruce says I said that, then I said it. I have no doubt and still agree!
@Aridog
I didn't miss your comment to me - thank you!
Your story proves nothing, CL, with all due respect.
ReplyDeleteWe had a saying at church - Southern Baptists never drink.
In public.
I am sticking with my besotted bint theory until a better one replaces it.
BECAUSE SHE SKIS IN A DRESS!
ReplyDelete(I laughed at that.)
She is not only a drunk, she is a nasty drunk. Trooper has seen it, and I have a good source that corroborates it. This should not be a shock. I don't know about Meade. But, he has enabler written all over that puss.
ReplyDeleteWhile I should swear off bint comments I am a back slider.
ReplyDeleteMassive alcohol consumption is like a unified field theory - it explains her meanness, her crazy mood swings, the erratic attitude towards comments and commentors, her love of perversity, her apparent lack of friends, and the incoherence of her politics. Could a sober person have voted for Obama?
I didn't think so.
As for not doing a keg stand with Chickie, well, beer has never been her choice of booze - it's wine wine wine foo dee oh. Winos eschew beer.
Okay, I made up that last bit, but this is my tissue of speculation and I am allowed.
Sixty Grit ... Just for you :)
ReplyDeleteh/t: EBL's blog
Sixty, And I also offer "I drink alone, w/ nobody else, you know when I drink alone...I prefer to be by myself." George Thorogood
ReplyDeleteI have observed and done a lotta drinking in my time. I am blessed that I don't have the Irish curse and can stop. It is my belief all forms of alcohol attracts certain types. If you have imbibed in different types and are introspective, they all have slightly different effects. Nuanced, as it were. Women, wine and/or vodka are their primary poisons. Just like women prefer pills as opposed to snortables, smokeables, or intravenous.
ReplyDeleteHuh. I drink whatever is available. And I'm thinking of taking up weed. =)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about taking up smoking.
ReplyDeleteNot dope, although with my slipped disc, that's sounding more appealing these days, but tobacco.
Yeah, I'm a rebel.
Darcy, I've been a Med patient in Ca. for 5 years. I have cervical disk pain and I use it to help sleep. It works well for me. My wife doesn't smoke and few friends do. 95% of my use is actually medicinal @ bed time. Great dreams. I use almost exclusively edibles. I have an ecig type vaporizer. However, I'll also just use a pipe because I smoke so little the carcinogens are negligible. Med cannabis is very strong but no paranoia. You have to be careful w/ the edibles because they have a delayed effect and you can overeat if not careful.
ReplyDeleteblake, Just try it. It isn't everyone's cup o' tea but you'll find out quickly if it helps.
ReplyDelete@Nick
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the fun part!
As with anything I do, I am really not aiming to be out of control or a danger to anyone. I talk a big game but I mostly like to experience things that make me relax and laugh. Life is short.
Cheers.
lol, nah
ReplyDeleteI don't do drugs. Pretty much at all.
I'm reluctantly taking something on the level of codeine for the back pain but trying to stretch it out further and further as fast as possible.
It's a thing with me.

What? I need to post the CT Scan images of my lung cancer? Or maybe the PET/CT with contrast report?
It has been successfully suppressed but has to be checked periodically. My last butt was 22 March 2012. I miss it but WTF, right?

May I suggest, in moderation, Camus Borderies XO or Kelt XO Cognacs, or Kelt VSOP for half the money. Kind of steep in price but they are meant to be sipped congenially. This year, for the first time, they are both available in Michigan now.
You are about to visit Chicago and another one available there, but not here, is Baron Otard VSOP.
All of the suggestions are good to start with, if you are new, because they are smooth and moderately flavored.
PS: If you bring me back a bottle of Baron Otard VSOP I will pay you handsomely...like double your cost.
Hey, who wants to be that clean livin' person who ends up dying of nothing? Where's the fun in that?
ReplyDeleteSixty, We don't need to worry about that. Of course, I don't worry about much.
ReplyDeleteI've heard rumors smoking tobacco may have some unwanted side effects.
ReplyDeleteBut what's that compared to lookin' cool?
nick--
ReplyDeleteIt's not a fear of death, it's just a visceral dislike of the very concept of drugs. Medically, they treat symptoms—which ain't nothin', of course, but isn't a good long-term solution to my mind.
Recreationally, I figure any state of mind they can induce, I can induce without them.
I like tobacco, gave up smoking cigarettes when I was 21 and could probably take them up again, if I wasn't so attached to breathing.
ReplyDeleteMost years I will have one or two Cohiba cigars, but even ones that nice are nasty.
I have some whiskey in the house but I have not opened the bottle - I am waiting for my brother to visit.
I really like sobriety, as it turns out.
I like both, but more and more I prefer sobriety.
ReplyDeleteI just feel better sober. It's the diabetes.
ReplyDeleteMy drinking today is limited to one or two shots of good Cognac with hot coffee per day.
ReplyDeleteThat's it...I too like the sobriety. In the old days the alternative was an asshole Irish trouble maker.
Now you just get the asshole.
asshole Irish is redundant.
ReplyDeleteSpinnerman - that reminds me of the other day when ST, he of the cover band, was mentioning that the Devil Came Up to Boston video that CL posted was "unoriginal". Yep, same thing.
ReplyDeleteDamn...I suppose Irish and trouble-maker is redundant too.
ReplyDeleteAridog, I would be more than happy to pick that up for you and I'd accept nothing more than cost. :) I'm traveling by train and will have lots of room for purchases.
ReplyDelete
