Sometimes An Empty Nest Is A Good Thing
ABOVE (left to right), Treacher, Treacher and Treacher’s Dad*
Shorter Sean “Jim Treacher” Medlock’s Father, The Daily Tucker
Are You Ready For The First Guest Post in DC Trawler History?
- My wife Terry and I breathed a huge sigh of relief when our son finally moved out of our basement, put his PS3, his TV, his 50 boxes of comic books and his sleeping bag in a U-Haul and moved to DC. At his age, it was about time. Heck, even if he were going to DC to gay marry that Tucker feller, that would have been an improvement, notwithstanding our views on gay stuff. Terry really needed to get down there and clean that basement up. There’s only so much you can do by spraying a can of Glade down the stairwell every so often. Also, it turns out, judging from what we found down there, that we could have been millionaires by now if we had invested in the folks who make Vaseline. Anywho, wouldn’t you know it but he was hardly in DC for a week before he walked in front of a galldurned SUV and got himself all bashed up. Terry and I aren’t sure whether he still has keys to the house but we’ve changed the locks, you know, just in case. I personally thought DC was five pounds of crap in a one-pound bag but, you know, we’re still forever grateful to everyone in DC for finally taking that load off our hands.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
*Not an actual photo of Treacher’s father, but a completely reliable computer-generated portrait based on a sophisticated algorithm that predicts what the father of an unmarried forty-something lard-assed conservative blogger, comic book aficionado and comment section troll from Indiana would probably look like.
God, this is astoundingly dumb. By the way, there’s a Home Depot five minutes away from NW DC in Falls Church. Wingnuts always fail when trying to draw political conclusions from the absence or presence of particular retail chains.
Wow. I actually enjoyed that little swim!
I never liked my Jim Treacher; he used to make us climb that knotted rope and do laps and stuff.
Wait, is that comic book link for real? What the fuck kind of grown-ass man lists his age as “30 1/2”???
Hey HEY HEY! Some of us have very nice basements.
Jim’s Dad should have his own show–“Medlock” (Like
Matlock, but not as interesting. )
That middle picture of Treacher… is he sporting a George W Bush memorial pretzel-scar?
Could it be…people having kids?
While not technically short, this was the funniest Shorter I’ve seen!
How painfully ironic is the name Treacher(y)(ous)(ously)? What are the odds that someone with that name would turn out to be the penis that corporate America routinely shoves in our collective ass?
What the fuck kind of grown-ass man lists his age as “30 1/2????
He has to since he passed the holding up “dees many” fingers a few years back…

And there’s one 1/2 a mile from the IKEA…
And there’s one 1/2 a mile from the IKEA…
IKEA is a socialist stronghold in the US. It will never be mentioned by a conservative, except to point out that we are being eaten from within by the termites of fascist Sweden, or was it Swedistan? Nobody there is wearing US flag lapel pins. Coincidence? I think NOT! Beware, patriots. Insurgence is afoot.
Editor’s note: Afoot has to be the coolest word in the language…and oh shit I need a nap.
What the fuck kind of grown-ass man lists his age as “30 1/2????
I know. Hasn’t he heard that decimals are the eurometriccommie future and fractions the imperial past?
So let me get this straight: Treacher takes a job with Tucker Carlson that requires him to move to DC.
First, he tries to destroy government property with his bionic knee, fails miserably and ends up hospitalized, despite trying to get it fixed on the government dime by claiming some black ops folks in the Presidential Secret Service detail caused his injury, spends weeks in rehab, then has his dad guest blogging for him, putting some elderly Social Security recipient to work, even tho the poor guy retired decades ago (based on the computer simulated photograph), probably after getting shot up in the Korean War?
So, question, Treach-boy…when you going to fucking start working?
I guess I should have said from the very IKEA Dear Old Dad mentions going to to pick up furniture. There’s also a HD in NE, but there might be POOR PEOPLE at that one.
From the comic book link:
So he didn’t bathe for four days, but we’re supposed to excuse that because he walked around in civvies.
So he didn’t bathe for four days, but we’re supposed to excuse that because he walked around in civvies.
Actually, I think that means he dressed as a Ferengi.
Actually, I think that means he dressed as a Ferengi woman
And…ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
What a pair Jim “Sean Medlock” Treacher and Tucker Carlson make! The wingnut version of “The Odd Couple.” A dumpy, half-witted, and slovenly slob from Indiana and an arrogant, persnickety, and batshit crazy preppie dickhead.
Sweet.
So why exactly did this pork-blob walk out into traffic and get his fat ass hit?
So he didn’t bathe for four days, but we’re supposed to excuse that because he walked around in civvies.
Sadly, that’s pretty common at nerd conventions.
There’s just SO MUCH TO DO, and, well, why take time out from going to panels or browsing the dealer’s area or gaming or watching movies to do silly useless mundane stuff like eat, sleep or bathe?

Obama had the SUV jump out in front of him as part of the evil socialist plot to destroy America.
So why exactly did this pork-blob walk out into traffic and get his fat ass hit?
He claims he was just standing there, minding his own business, sucking on a latte or some other faux coffee-like beverage, but in truth, he was trying to strike a blow for teabaggers everywhere by tailpipe fucking one of Obama’s SUVs when his fat knee got tangled up with the drawstring on his sweatpants.

It’s not an either/or, it’s a both/and. Severe orthopedic trauma can occur when one fucks a tailpipe while sucking off a Latvian.
OT, but equal in douchery: Erick Erickson tweets that trying to get the health care bill passed is like the Bataan Death March.
In other news, one of my co-workers has a shirt with a weird patch of fur on it that totally looks like a chest merkin.
the health care bill passed is like the Bataan Death March
If the repubs would stop forcing congress to march for days without sleep or food, the resemblance would be lessened.
What?
My sister took baton and she didn’t kill anybody.

OK, maybe the lack of sleep.
[WTF] Shorter Reihl:
I’m a child, Marxist Obama, I will continue to act like a child and you can’t tell me what to do despite being democratically-elected. Furthermore, despite the fact that One of The Greatest Presidents Evar, George W Bush, used reconciliation to pass his super-smart tax cuts for the uberich, I will continue down the line of treason with pro-revolution rhetoric because you are nothing but a doo doo head. Pthhbbbbb!*tounge sticking out*

Oh? I didn’t get that far. Had to vomit then clear my head with some rubber cement.

Esteev just pointed it out: Dan I-ain’t-skeered-o’-no-black-middle-schoolers-on-the-bus is calling for revolution! over teh Horror of Reconciliation. Apparently, Erick El-Erick and Instaschmuck are cheering and tossing cheetos.

This is unreal:
In response to a query about what can be done about the Obama Administration, Warren Bonesteel responds:
“stock up on the beans bullets and band-aids. Emergency preparedness. Google ‘Prepper.’ If the survivalists scare you too much, Preppers are regular folks, Moms and Dads who are into preparing for emergencies.”
The sad fact is, because Warren is so blinded by his hatred of anyone not-White, he fails to realize that he will benefit greatly from reform. *tear*
Observation: DC sucks, it’s way too much shit. Everyone is nice though – but us country folks are fucking pissed off at each and every little thing that’s not the same as home. Did I mention that we did not meet a single person in DC we didn’t like? Yup, in the entire freaking city the only folks who had shitty attitudes despite the biblical SNOWMAGEDDON they lived through was us plain simple folks from Heartland, USA.
Therefore Government sucks.
A shame Treacher can’t be coerced into blogging, as one has to assume that the quality of his output could only be improved by the addition of a big whack of Demerol.
Hey, casting blame elsewhere & getting everyone else to pay for their fuckups is a lifestyle-choice, maaaaaaan! Don’t be harshing their mellow! If that old geezer had invested more wisely, he’d be in Bermuda instead! Free market, democracy, personal responsibility, gubble gubble gubble!
Actually, typing with their knees might help explain why their output reads the way it does (cf. Lopez, Goldberg, Riehl, et al).
Lateral Query: Do any of these salt-of-the-earth, down-home gritty Real Americans™ have any experience doing anything for a living rougher than spreading their own pate foie gras on Saltines at some neocon gathering, or posting five minutes’ worth of typing practise per day (“just remember to keep those knees up & open, guys”) on blogs that require a fanatical dedication to pretending Google doesn’t exist? Meghan McCain had some humble-humble job that her beer-heiress mom got her for a few months as a callow youth, but that’s the only one that comes to mind – & she’s not even a full-bore wingnut, either.
Sorry, but Der Pantload having to live down the horror of having Lucienne for a parent doesn’t count.
stock up on the beans bullets and band-aids
Any fart that can propel a bullet fast enough to cause a wound that needs a band-aid is a fart worthy of respect.
Riehl: “Reconcile this, you distasteful, malevolent little quisling punk – a timely reminder of some words I never thought would have such import during my lifetime.
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
The cause is well known and it is just. When the alleged leader of a democratic republic places his own wishes so above those of the complete body politic, he is no longer worthy of the title, leader, no matter what office he might occupy. ”
Seriously, after the Bush administration’s open contempt for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the people, because the majority of elected officials want to stop a minority from using extra-Constitutional rules to block enacting policy popular with the majority of the electorate, he’s righteously indignant and threatening
treasonrevolution. Holy FUCK.their own pate foie gras

If the survivalists scare you too much, Preppers are regular folks, Moms and Dads who are into preparing for emergencies.
Oh, yes, hurf durf, “Preppers”, just plannin’ for an emergency, nothing special, as long as the “emergency” involves OH SAY MAYBE Islamic hordes and welfare cheats swarming white people’s guarded communities. Yup yup yup just trying to BE PREPARED in case ANYTHING HAPPENS, you know, with THOSE PEOPLE harrumph harrumph.
Any fart that can propel a bullet fast enough to cause a wound that needs a band-aid is a fart worthy of respect.
Agreed. Maybe I misread his comment. He was just trying to draw attention to those who may need medical attention after too many beans and bullet… use your imagination.
Okay, fine, I’m behind everybody here.
You’re behind? I’m commenting about the Treacher Guest Post linked at the top. And I had to get outta the boat to do it.
FFS, I’m so far behind, the only thing in front of me is Whale Chowder’s mother.
edit: WC’s mom is the only thing I can see in front of me. But maybe I;m not that far behind, she really is quite fat.

Ted Nugent played guitar, badly. I think. I think that’s what you can call the sort of string-breaking he called playing.

Well, see, when I was a lad, we’d go camping and were told never put an unopened can of beans on the fire. And we were told never put a bullet on a fire.
So the presumption I make is that these folks don’t know beans about an open fire.
PS – staying on the ol’ boat, & it’s not so much my fear of going after the proverbial mangoes as it is my lack of desire to give click-charity to Tucker Carlson’s latest jellyfish-baby, DC Troller … not feeding trolls on a comment-thread with replies is one thing: love it or hate it, but if nothing else distracts them first, then the fuckers still have to sleep or take a dump at some point – but a wingnut-website never rests, & clickthroughs are its oxygen.
Tucker wants to give the world “a conservative HuffPo” you say? Yeah, because the uplifting glory of regular spray-cheese will pale next to DU-enriched glow-in-the-dark spray-cheese! Don’t think of them as oral tumors – think of them as tiny agonizing killer pets that you never need to neuter, feed or paper-train!
Sorry, Tuck, you still suck.
In this case, Old Yeller was born rabid – & the easiest way to take him out behind the barn is to ignore him.

It’s weird, because under the Bushies, especially after the Patriot Act, I was contemplating buying a gun. You know, because I figured I’d need it to hunt for food when the turrrests struck again only they levelled my city and I was forced to move to the country.
Now, I’m thinking I may need one for the real turrrrrrests…
Hey! I’m eating, here!
I hope you’re giving some to wordpress, it’s eating comments again.
the turrrests
They never “rest”! That’s why we must remain ever vigilant, expand the military and combat a mobile, criminal cartel with a standing army.
Well OT it is then.
The RNC fundraising presentation – in all it’s glory. I’m flogging it and blogwhoring like actor212 because going through that thing was a lot of work – despite all the guffaws at the neverending stoopid bits.

How much does Erik son of Eric suck? Let’s ask wikipedia:
This wasn’t just some level in a video game. Ridiculous comparisons of this sort are the equivalent of shitting on the memory of those who died.
Perhaps if Erik son of Erik weren’t such an epic suckbag, he could attempt the memorial march.
Fucking pus encrusted douche nozzle.
To be fair to Daddy Treach, the Oxon Hill store is actually on the far side of the Beltway.
“At 13.5 inches, Jonah Falcon may apparently have the biggest penis in the world, but he doesn’t have a full-time job.”
What a waste.
Also, how do you get by in life with a dick that big? Do you have to tape it to your leg? Sounds uncomfortable.

Also, how do you get by in life with a dick that big?
I can answer this…
the only thing in front of me is Whale Chowder’s mother.
Ah, so I see we’ve circled back to the beans and bullets topic.
WC’s mom is the only thing I can see in front of me. But maybe I;m not that far behind, she really is quite fat.
Pay attention, you just stuck it in the other guy who is already doing her
Perhaps if Erik son of Erik weren’t such an epic suckbag, he could attempt the memorial march.
Agreed. Any Marine or former Marine is hereby instructed to “re-educate” Erickson on sight. To compare torture and mass slaughter to legislating “reform” is to spit in the face of those who died there.
I live in the Heartland and we don’t have a Home Depot. Closest one is half an hour away, in a whole nother town. We have a Lowe’s but the cognoscenti know it’s not the same.
Treacher is the guy who used to have a blog called, “Mother, May I Sleep With Treacher?” which is both the most disgusting and stupidest name for a blog ever (not sure which is worse, the stupidity or the disgustingness). And his comments on that Pandagon thread are the most boring, inane bullshit I’ve ever seen from a troll (and believe me, I know boring and inane).
So, all in all, a perfect choice for Tucker Carlson’s foray into online onanism.
Fuck. First tag fail in weeks.

Shit, any Real Merkin knows that there are more Home Depots per capita in suburban strongholds and places where teh gays live than there are in more rural areas.
At best, this is the equivalent of heartlanders who say that they like visiting Times Square but it is too crowded. At worst, he is making a sly reference to the blackety blackness of our nation’s capitol.

When a conservative man looks in the mirror, he sees someone who could build a barn with his bare hands or take down a cattle rustler from 500 yards; the mirror sees a paunchy suburbanite who needs help taking the pickles off of his Big Mac.
Here, while basking in the relevance of On The Waterfront, I suddenly see the cosa nostra metaphor, the Brechtian fascination with Chicago mobs, the Obama administration’s Red-packed Czardom and Mao Zedong himself as the Godfather of all Godfathers … this mounting tower of Progressive Babel, making absolutely no sense whatsoever unless you have a ruthless mob willing to enforce it.
Anyone know if Babelfish does “Batshit Insane To English” translations?
Hey! Riehl’s website won’t let me comment! Freedom-of-speech fail much?
WTF indeed … hmm, wonder what happens if I use an alternate e-mail?
FOX NEWS saying it over & over doesn’t make it true: reconciliation is not the Nuclear Option – that option abolishes fillibustering permanently, reconciliation does not. Bush threatened it over judiciary appointments, whereas Obama has yet to do so, even in the face of far worse provocation. Bush also used reconciliation again & again to pass unpopular policy – a move which I’m sure caused the 101st Keyboarders no end of sleepless nights over the “Quisling” in the White House who thought nothing of “a goddamned piece of paper” as he repeatedly threatened their imperiled republic.
One could only wish that your collective meat-dream of Obama exercising the Nuclear Option would come to pass – the fillibuster is plainly freezing government in its tracks on everything from bills to mundane appointments & it’s a relic of a time when politicians had enough basic decency to use it only in dire emergencies, not as a regular “gotcha” tactic. But his dedication to the myth of “bipartisanship” is such that no such sensible solution is anywhere on the horizon – so relax … America is in no danger of becoming a nation with a functional government any time soon.
Bunning stonewalled exactly the same sort of bill he’s supported repeatedly in the past. The only substantial difference is who’s in control of the Senate & the White House. His sudden concern-trolling over deficits is, to put it very mildly, rather poorly-timed: you don’t focus on balancing the books when you’re in a recession, you focus on ending the recession so you can raise more tax-revenue & improve your trade-balance (Google “Roosevelt Recession 1937” to see what sort of hilarity ensues when you try to balance budgets in bad economies). Even Bunning’s own party knows what a sociopathic idiot he looks like cutting off benefits to the most needy & putting tens of thousands on unpaid furloughs in a severe recession, all to uphold a principle he just discovered – which is why they’re desperately trying to convince him to stay quiet from now on – but being in his last term before retirement, he has no political future to worry about, & elevator-drama notwithstanding, he plainly loves all the attention.
The fact that you still seriously think Obama is a leftist – or that the Dems are some sort of crypto-Stalinist cabal – is PURE COMEDY GOLD. Yeah, what could be more “leftist” than taking single-payer off the table before you even begin to move on healthcare-reform, then discarding a widely-popular public-option to try to attain the impossible dream of bipartisanship? Or maybe the huge insurance-porkbarrel of mandates is somehow “leftist” – that is, if you equate Aetna with Che Guevara.
He upheld Bush’s FISA amendments, & his bailout of banks, he steadfastly refuses to go after war-criminals from the prior administration (“looking forward, not back”) even as the evidence against them grows ever-uglier & more damning – & in the past week his party renewed the Patriot Act for another year via a stealth-vote … Obama is to the right of Nixon at this point & arguably to the right of Reagan (union-busting & foreign policy excepted). Even Reagan would’ve put torturers on trial, & in fact he passed legislation explicitly banning such barbaric practises as the heinous crimes they are.
The Overton Window is not a magical toboggan that can turn a center-right POTUS into a Marxist if you just wish really really hard for it to be so.

I give him bonus points for using the internet-approved spelling of the word “cum.”
Just an idle thought…when do the wingnuts start canonizing Timothy McVeigh? Or has it already started and I’m just blissfully unaware of it?
The preferred usage is “I won’t jizz in your mouth”. I say.
Your cheque’s in my mouth. What?
Your

Please help a creamy-complexioned sister out – Negro President Obama’s ally ACORN is trying to force its massive, throbbing corruption down my lilly-white throat!
Sure thing, baby girl. Just hop in my van…
I may be (and in fact am) old, but when I saw the name Treacher I immediately thought of this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Treacher%27s
Perhaps Arthur was his grandfather?
From the link to Riehl:
It is time to stop this government in its tracks, take it back democratically in the fall, or it then becomes time to bring this government down.
I’d like to call your attention to the part after the word “or”. He’s saying that if the Republicans DON’T win the election, then they should bring the government down because it’s the will of the people. American conservatives: showing their love for constitutional government by trying to overthrow it since 1860!
From the actually on-topic post:
What contributes to this overconcentration of humanity? Could it be… BIG GOVERNMENT?
Seriously? Washington, DC, the flattest, spreadoutest, no-building-taller-than-the-Monument-est “big city” in the United States is too crowded because of the government? I wonder how he explains to himself the density of New York and Chicago? Must be all that big government on Wall Street and at the Board of Trade.
What contributes to this overconcentration of humanity? Could it be…
BIG GOVERNMENT?Factory Farming?maybe?

Sean spent the first few days at the hotel looking for a new apartment online. He found a wheelchair-friendly place through Craigslist.
Wheelchair-friendly place?! That’s no way to stand on conservative principle, Mr. Treacher, even with only one good leg. The ever-intrusive federal government, with its nanny-state People With Disabilities Act, forced honest, hardworking commercial real estate owners to spend their own money to make places wheelchair-friendly. You absolutely caved!
[I’m not even going to comment about using that sexually-perverted organ called Craigslist.]
Well, if this post was designed as Jim Treacher troll-bait, it seems to have failed miserably. That, or Jimbo is exercising some restraint, for once.
Q, I suspect he is too frightened to come out and challenge. Hell, he wouldn’t even show up at my blog when I all but called him out on his paranoia about the President trying to kill him.
That, or Jimbo is exercising some restraint, for once.
This blog is not wheelchair accessible?
in Indiana. Civilization.
OK, that’s it!
Treacher is 30? In whose time machine?
[Tintin adds: Way back in 1998, which is the date on the bottom of that webpage.]
Ohhh, Marco slow. Sorry.
But now his misery is even more hilarious. He lives in a nanny state created by his parents.
He lives in a nanny state created by his parents.
And he’s 42. And a half.
I love how one of the commenters on the original post admits wanting to commit suicide after trying to assemble furniture from Ikea. We are dealing with people who are too dumb for Legos, and I mean the old school kind, simple blocks.

Damn statists Swedes, insisting on easy-to-follow instructions that confuse our right wing brethren who are used to buying their some-assembly-required furniture from China or Korea where the translations from English can be the most fun part of the assembly!
exercising some restraint,
You can get court orders for that.
I always thought AOL email addresses were the web’s equivalent to television’s 555 phone numbers.

The “Stapled to the chicken” gag, gets me, every, freaking, time.
Thank you Sir, or Madam.

Ooo, ooo, I know! Dan Quayle!
Do I get a cookie?
I bought all the Writer’s Bloc collections (at the WonderCon comic book and fantasy art convention in San Francisco) and still have them.
Knowing that the ‘Sean Medlock’ who wrote the actually rather amusing ‘Haiku’ stories is the same person as this Jim Kreacher is rather disturbing. And this is coming from someone who has an almost-complete collection of Barry Blair’s elfporn series.
Oh, and send Dan Riehl to Dr. Mudd’s old cell. TRAITOR.
