Good Morning!

Depends on how Miss Mephistopheles's weekend went.

Thr DEB-Court Calendar Countdown:

Just 20 days til her next scheduled appearance.

Can she go 20 days without a visit from GreenCan Man?

What is it with Deb's ghetto spelling habits? Does she think it is cute or funny?

Ugh...there's too much blood in my caffeine level...

Mornin all. I see Little Debbie Snack Cake is back fro her trip to hell. Real nice. Missed her soooooooooo much, what with having a long weelend of inspirational conversations on here without being interrupted by a racist, egomaniacal, masochistid, deranged lunatid of an unemployed waste of a sheep-skin.

I see she has posted comments...including mine. I know for a fact she didn't follow the link. Why? Because as we all know, she has no integrity what-so-ever.

Looking forward to Teh Crazee today. 3 days is a long time, and you just know she is chomping at the bit to let it go.

Did any of you follow that post I had in the last thread? If so, tell me what you thought.

Still sleepy, but I am lurking. Talk to you soon.

 
At 7:52 AM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

No...there is some dweeb who thinks there is but one conservative that posts there. They refer to all of us as "tinhat". The latest is how they have been threatening spitting on any and all Republicans in their face and punching them. When we say that they muct be kidding they go on about what little sissies we are. I have never seen a bigger collection of crybaby immature morons in my life.

 
At 8:01 AM, Blogger BrendaK said...

hose -

I tried to follow the CraigsList commentary, but it's just so disjointed and hard to tell what comments follows what...

I just gave up. The bottom line is that the spitters are a bunch of loons and would poop themselves if confronted with, you know, an actual person.

 
At 8:10 AM, Blogger BrendaK said...

I guess that 'tinhat' is supposed to both US because it irritates THEM so much.

News for them...it's not the conservatives/moderates (of both parties) that are wearing the aluminum headgear.

Which, limits the nickname's success as an effective perjoratiave.

 
At 9:16 AM, Blogger NedraZ said...

She is taking an unusually long time from letting comments through to posting something new.

Guess it's that slo-oo-w reading thing.

 
At 9:18 AM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Yeah....I pointed out to them on several occasion the tinhat convention going on at the KosKidz trip to Vegas, but the guy who keeps going on about it has got to be about 16 yyears old. I swear, the collective IQ of the entire group is something above room temperature in a computer lab.

 
At 9:22 AM, Blogger Paddy O'Furnijur said...

Extremely creepy - she just can't seem to restrain herself.

That's why others have had to order her to do so.

 
At 9:33 AM, Blogger NedraZ said...

Blizzardlane,

I tried to comment on your blog & it said I wasn't a team member.

Must-see DHD TV!

If you're in the mood for some top-notch television entertainment this evening, check out this ultra-low-budget radio promo for a couple of shows which might be of interest to VBSers.

(You may have to scroll down a bit on the linked page and/or wait a few seconds for the file to load.)

CAUTION: THIS IS NOT WORK-FRIENDLY!

You have been warned.

For some reason, the conversion to mp3 made the spot sound a little "tubby". Plus I don't own the right type of mic for voiceovers (I'm more a writer/producer when it comes to radio, anyhow) and I'm getting over a cold. Feh.

I hope teh funny® comes through anyway.

Rabbit,
Blizzard's blog only allows comments by team members - and she currently doesn't have any.

[playground mode]
OK, everyone! Line up! Blizzard's going to choose teammates.

I hope I don't get picked last! I really hope I don't get stuck on Little Debbie's team!
[/playground mode]

 
At 10:04 AM, Blogger Paddy O'Furnijur said...

Fatwa!
Genius! Pure genius!
Those are shows I'm going to tune in to.

 
At 10:38 AM, Blogger Blizzardlane said...

I have a blog? Oh I guess I do. I should see about that. Sorry!

 
At 10:40 AM, Blogger NedraZ said...

FATWA ARBUCKLE!!

Olive it!

I hope DWebbie hears it.

Mornin' All!

I hope Ottavarima is doing okay after the power outage. I know she was asking for me but I totally overdosed on HiDef Sports watching yesterday, so was not able to respond quickly.

Fatwa:

Whose voice is that? Some software filter? Plus, anyone that can still use "hijinks" in a tv promo, and pull it off, has some serious comedy cred. Heh. "Serious Comedy." Joe made oxymoronic funny, huh huh.

 
At 11:06 AM, Blogger Blizzardlane said...

I now have coldcrash the blog with actual content and comments! Go here and mock away.

 
At 11:06 AM, Blogger Dianna said...

Oh, my God, Fatwa! That's hysterical!

 
At 11:09 AM, Blogger Blizzardlane said...

Fatwa, that was absolutely hilarious. Huzzah!

 
At 11:23 AM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

Otta:

Yeesh, who didn't win? I watched tennis, FSU vs. Miami, golf, more tennis. I'll tell you who won: ME!

 
At 11:42 AM, Blogger Fatwa Arbuckle said...

Gosharooties, kids...thanks for the lovely feedback; you're a great audience!

(Actually, that's incredibly true, seeing what an extremely bright, educated and snarky lot y'all are.)

Considering how much free entertainment DHD provides me (not to mention nice folks), it pleased me to be able to do a little something special for teh gang.

(I had a bit of fun doing it, too.)

Joe -

Ç'est moi using a humble Shure SM-58 mic jacked into a Mackie mixer. No software tricks; just the sort of basic editing that used to be done with a razor blade plus a little EQ. But I learned a lot over the years from the top-dog voice guys in L.A.

"Hijinks" is right up there in the comedy cliché cavalcade along with fractured, daffy, ding-a-ling, tickle-your-funny-bone, side-splitting & laff-riot. (Which must always be spelled "laff".)

Plus all the clichés in the spot. Basically, cheese works well for these things.

 
At 11:44 AM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

Speaking of moonbats in the news, check out what happened to the lady that pissed on the floor of the airplane, had to be restrained, and joked about bringing "bomb-making materials" on board: sent to a mental health facility.

She says: "I did not commit any criminal act. I am not responsible for the federal government arresting me."

The public defender seems to have had a lot of "fun" with her client.

 
At 11:57 AM, Blogger NedraZ said...

Sounds like she's using some of Deb's "framing" arguements.

I did sign her name on a comment at pawthetic when the story first broke.

 
At 12:15 PM, Blogger Fatwa Arbuckle said...

Staci -

Boo hoo! It may be blocked as it is a site which permits uploading and storage of files. (Something your employer might not think is a good idea re company stuff.)

Hope you have better luck from a private 'puter.

Joe -

Mentally ill, "peace activist", repeated trips to visit Pakistani "pen pal", poorly housebroken, talk of explosive materials and terrorst organizations on an airliner...she's clearly just another innocent victim of Chimpy McBushitler's fascist thugs.

Let the silkscreening of the "Free Catherine Mayo!" t-shirts commence!

Sounds like she's using some of Deb's "framing" arguements.

Hey, has this been included in the Deb lexicon yet?

Frame, framing (verb): when Deb attempts to get away with making stuff up.

 
At 12:40 PM, Blogger Paddy O'Furnijur said...

From the "We go there so you don't have to®" files:

Dr. Deb,
I hope your journey was pleasant and a cause for renewal and rejuvenation. I find when traveling that it is important to eat properly and keep hydrated. A proper balance of protein, fats, and carbohydrates will keep you feeling your best on a long trip. When you don't necessarily feel like eating, a bowl of ice cream and some snack food can do the trick. The fats slow down the absorption of the carbohydrates and reduce the glycemic index, eliminating the sugar rush/sugar crash problem while providing a good dietary balance. So go ahead; have a bowl of rocky road and a bag of Cheetos - your trip will be much more enjoyable.

When I left for work this morning, there were 7 comments approved on Deb's latest post. Now at 12:40 there are 18.

Looks like she's up and moving about.

That's hysterical.

She'll never get it, but we did and that's good enough for anybody.

hahahaha.

Fatwa -

My actual quote should have been

At 12:57 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Oh, my gosh! I just got an email offer from John Mcclure, clearly brother to Troy Mcclure, to broker his artwork here in america for 10% of the profit!

Wow! I've been wanting to get another day job, this just might be the one!

I bet he just needs my bank account number so we can do direct transfers!

 
At 1:04 PM, Blogger Fatwa Arbuckle said...

Wow...two snorts and a snurgle from BrendaK; I could die a happy man right now!

Except for the fact that I need to pick up a prescription and some groceries for my Mom; back in a while.

[Hurriedly departs leaving a Fatwa-shaped cloud of dust]

 
At 1:18 PM, Blogger Paddy O'Furnijur said...

She'll never get it, but we did and that's good enough for anybody.

Too true. She doesn't get my "poetry" either, but that doesn't stop me from trying - or from being trying.

Another three fingers, barkeep!

 
At 1:21 PM, Blogger NedraZ said...

I've got a profile?
I've got a blog?

Heck, I was just mashing buttons & getting names rejected.
Joe was wanting to know who was writing stuff & I wanted credit for my socks.
Vardon was a name I made up as a username & rabbit was the password that finally went through. That's how I ended up this wasy!

I keep telling ya'll I have NO computer skills! LOL

So, Otta, no blog, no profile.
(But thanks to those of you curious enough to look!)

They raise Scottish Highlanders?

You mean, with teh little kilts and furry purses?

 
At 1:48 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Fatwa...Mojo Jojo...classic. Wish I had thought of him.

As far as over at the rock underwhich a one Little Debbie Sticky Bun lives in her hovel I can only say this:

IT...IS...ALIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 
At 2:00 PM, Blogger Paddy O'Furnijur said...

You mean, with teh little kilts and furry purses?

The term is "sporran", ma'am. You don't want to be confusing a sporran with some other "furry purse".

Do ye have a problem with men who like to wear un-bifurcated garments?

 
At 2:12 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Oh, Paddy, there is NOTHING like a man in a kilt. Well, except for a man in uniform, but that's practically the same thing, right?

FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOMMMM!

(Just watched Braveheart again last night)

 
At 2:23 PM, Blogger Paddy O'Furnijur said...

Pants were forced upon my people by the Roman oppressor. They're just a plot from the Man, trying to keep Celty down! Free your thighs!

 
At 2:26 PM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

paddy:

Free your thighs!

BWAHAHAHAHA!

I do have to add, that demand is a low percentage pickup line.

 
At 2:28 PM, Blogger Blizzardlane said...

No problem at all, Paddy! The man who introduced me to martinis was a totty Paisley buddy who had the whole tartan rig, down to his ghillie brogues.

 
At 2:28 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

blizzardlane:

I liked your avatars so much, I went looking for a Brenda Starr in the same style.

I love the 40's pinup look.

 
At 2:29 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Bringing up the man in a uniform thing, eh?

And you know what a Scottsman wears under his kilt doncha?

A shiny pair of shoes.

Now I am off to pick up the kidlets from school and get a new can of Cope.

Mmmmm...Fresh Cope.

 
At 2:29 PM, Blogger Paddy O'Furnijur said...

When asked what's worn under your kilt you can reply "lipstick".

 
At 3:24 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

" I don't know where ye been lad...but "I'm glad ta see ye won first prize."

Heh. That's "blue ribbon" joke alright!

Oh, oh, I know this one!

hahahahahaha. Used to date a bagpiper, that was his favorite.

 
At 3:33 PM, Blogger TroyMcClure said...

Artwork???

I'm an actor damn it!!!!

You may remember me from such films as "The Boatjacking of Supership 79" and "Hydro, the Man With the Hydraulic Arms"

 
At 3:35 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Mr. McLure:

Any comment on the recent purchase of a 2000 gallon aquarium and your recent purchase of controlling stock in SeaWorld?

 
At 3:39 PM, Blogger Fatwa Arbuckle said...

Hose & BrendaK -

I can't believe you guys know that one, too!

Och...'tis a wee worrrld after all.

Me old Mum...I mean my Mom now has her meds, groceries and most important of all...Fudgecicles!™ (Someone once observed that ice cream is heroin for senior citizens.)

 
At 3:51 PM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

Mornin' SBH! Or evenin', as the case may be.

 
At 3:54 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Good morning, sbh! Have some orange juice. It's good for you.

 
At 3:57 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Ottava:

For the joke, go here.

You must read it with a thick Scottish brogue.

 
At 3:59 PM, Blogger Fatwa Arbuckle said...

...I'm gonna go eat worms.

Um, Ottava...does that mean you're the early bird?

And a fine good morning to you. You okay after last evening's meteorological mayhem?

 
At 4:00 PM, Blogger Cthulhu said...

new thread...

 
At 4:02 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Ottava -

That's not a very good version of the joke, best I could find. The punch line is usually -

"Och, I dunno where ya been laddie, but I see ye won a blue ribbon!"

 
At 4:03 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Otta: Just for you.


A Scott was wandering through the forrest one day, when he decided to take a nap. Propping himself up against a tree, he dozed off. After awhile, two beautiful lasses come by and decide to see what he had under his kilt. To there amazement, they found a very nice specimen of what the Scotts had to offer to the world, and womanhood in general. Laughing to themselves, they decided to play a joke on the poor Scott. Taking the blue ribbon from her hair, she tied it in a bow around the Scott's "John Thomas"

When the scott awoke, he went to relieve himself. Looking down he noticed the blue ribbon. So he said to wis winkie:

"I don't know where ya been laddie, but I'm glad to see ye won First Prize!"

 
At 4:34 PM, Blogger Paddy O'Furnijur said...

SBH,
I must say you take morning breath to a whole new level.
[dons saffron kilt]
I do admit to being fond of the Water of Life, but wouldn't want the sarcasm of those posts confused with the doggerel of Irish Whiskey.
If you catch the way I'm drifting.

Barkeep, two fingers this time - I need to slow down.
