The Well Of Lost Plotz*

Erick Erickson, RedState:
No Act of Moderation: Why Barack Obama cannot fix the economy

Punctuation: The Grandiloquence blar extra words bla ruined.

This past week, the Gulf States who hoped Barack Obama would actually do something to help them were stunned when he imposed a ban on deep water offshore drilling.

Erickson looks slightly upward and his expression goes slack. He seems close to thinking, but this is only a trick of appearances, for he has something better in his head than thinking. “There they are,” he says to himself. “There they are, literally looking stunned.” He sees anthropomorphic Gulf States — one has a bottom part like Louisiana but the rest are sort of blurry, except maybe Texas has a panhandle in there someplace. He sees them in his mind.

Erickson is using what The Quotations, in their 1961 interpretation of a Johnny Burke, Jimmy Van Heusen composition made popular in 1940 by Glenn Miller, memorably called, “Yibbity-ma-ma-ma, yibbity-ma-ma-ma, muh-may-ay kin’-shit-up.”

It is no exaggeration to say that as much as shrimping is part of the way of life in the Gulf Coast area, oil drilling is too. Barack Obama, with the stroke of a…

Whoah, whoah, whoah, just one single, solitary second here. Shrimping. Okay, okay, back up to speed with the…whoah, whoah, whoah, hold on, damn. ‘Shrimping’ and then ‘oil drilling,’ fine, youbetcha. But now it’s Obama with the stroke of a what, now?

pen

Oh, we’ll be keeping an eye on you, Erickson. We certainly will, by jingo. Say, if you see Erickson come running through here in his gym shorts or an Indian loincloth or what-have-you, shield your eyes from the pallor, is all we’re saying.

That was no act of moderation.

Haha, and this isn’t a banana.

That was an overreaction — a desire by Obama to move the narrative from “do nothing” to “do something.” He did something alright.

Indeed, despite all the computations, he could just dance to that rock ‘n’ roll station, and that would be the result, yes.

Okay, this is becoming one of those posts. I’m just going to wait for it to slow down a little, then jump off.

In his zeal to turn this from his Katrina to his 9/11 with a “Never Again” moment, he destroyed an entire industry.

The zeal industry has been doing poorly because of the baby-zebras-in-cages thing. On the other hand, the sleeve of ‘Never Again‘ was actually a John Heartfield photomontage cleverly disguised as Xerox art, so I guess you never know.

That was not an act of moderation. It was a desperate, selfish bid to change the narrative, despite all sorts of collateral damage.

That’s me. Jumpin’ off…

It was one well, one platform, and one company well connected to Barack Obama…

Disconnect from it, Barack. That company well wants to drink your milkshake.

He didn’t ban offshore drilling. He banned NEW drilling, Existing wells are free to continue pumping and already existing exploratory drillings can continue.

Do these assholes read English?

He has a point. Soon when all the shrimp in the gulf are dead because of oil, what ever will the shrimpers do to earn a living? OFFSHORES OILS DRILLIN’ I SAYS!

If Obama had any guts he’d open holes in all deep and shallow water wells and let people skim their oil off the top of the ocean as needed, and fuck these god-damn wimpy ass shrimp and fish and pelicans if they can’t adapt. After all, don’t the damn pointy head fagz anyway believe in Darwin?

BP Oil Spill = 2 colossal Bush Co. fuckups?

Seriously, Erik. Talking this way about W is seditious and treasonous.

They’ll take away your trike.

 
 

Oh boy. We’re gonna get in big trouble, I think. We’re making fun of Erick Erickson and he’s on CNN.

They should just have a hour-long show with a rotating line-up of wingnuts.

Call it “Tool Time.”

 
 

Uh, yeah, Irky, he called for a halt to new drilling — it might have something to do with the fact that a majority of Americans now oppose new drilling. Except for conservatives, of course, who still can’t get over their fantasies of boring an exploratory shaft into Sarah Palin’s ice-covered tundra*.

*VANWRR

 
 

So we should all send a message to the White House. We need more drilling, and how better to make that point than by sending him drill bits!

I’m going to dig up a link where you can buy a drill bit for a mere pittance and only a tiny portion of that ends up in the Erickson Cheetos fund.

Usually, no. But when they’re soaked with oil, au contraire!

Yeah, this is pretty fucking mindboggling. So, like, the government created this problem? I mean, I suppose it technically did, given the lack of oversight and regulation that occurred (mostly during the Bush administration), but I don’t think that’s what Erk’s getting at.

I’m so confused! I suppose it’s a sign of sanity that I can’t hold two contradicting premises in my mind at the same time.

 
 

I think his point is “Because, Shut Up! That’s Why.” and how can you argue with that.

Tie Barack Obama’s handling of the economy together with his handing of the British Petroleum accident and we have the definitive reason Barack Obama cannot fix the economy. The man needs an enemy to act.

The who what accident? British Petroleum? Oh, I seem to recall such a thing but that was 10 years ago. Erk (son of Erk) is, as usual, either right on top of things***** or talking out his ass. I report, you decide.

It’s gotta be some sort of Jungian synchronicity thingy — all about shrimpers…

Today’s huge, screamer headline on Page 1 of the Savannah Daily Disappointment is “Shrimpers practice their Southern trawl.” Yes, it’s a headline, and yes, it’s capitalized like that. Just consider yourselves lucky it didn’t say “there” Southern trawl.

The subhead is “As oil closes areas of Gulf, Georgia’s shrimping season opens,” with the following first 3 grafs:

Georgia’s shrimp season opens today. It could be a profitable time for the 116 licensed trawlers in the state, in part because of a decrease in foreign imports, but also because of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

While most Gulf state waters are still open for shrimping, about a third of federal waters in the Gulf are closed to fishing.

“It’s got our price up pretty good,” said Savannah shrimper Hank Groover.

So yee-hah for us, we’re gonna make us some money and screw everybody else. Fucker.

 
Pupienus Maximus
 

Besides, shrimp are sometimes cooked in oil so quit yer fucking whining already they’ve invented pre-oiled shrimp and saved us a step in the kitchen.

I wouldn’t worry too much about that. The oil will hit the Georgia coast within several months.

within several months.

I’m guessing it won’t take that long.

 
TruculentandUnreliable
 

That’s okay! We’ll just import Chinese shrimp! Sure, that’s part of the reason why we had this problem in the first place, but you don’t expect Americans to take RESPONSIBILITY, now do you?

 
 

My doctor tells me that fish oil supplements are good for me so I got that going for me.

Shrimp are gross, anyway. I’ve never gotten the appeal* of them. Those little legs are creepy.

Wait, so the best way to do something about oil spills is … Allow even more oil drilling? Seriously, do these guys have any motherfucking shame or self-awareness? I mean even an iota?

Shrimp are gross, anyway.

Amen! But you can count the kinds of seafood that don’t make me gag on one hand…

 
 

But what do you non-shrimp eaters do for Dim Sum?

 
 

there’s gotta be something veiled in there somewhere

 
TruculentandUnreliable
 

But what do you non-shrimp eaters do for Dim Sum?

1. Wheat.

2. I actually can handle shrimp in small amounts if I don’t have to see it. I like most fish, but I really can’t handle shellfish unless it’s already disassembled for me and isn’t a main part of a dish.

 
TruculentandUnreliable
 

Also, too:

3. Dim sum? HAAAAAAA HA HAHA! I think there might be a place in Kansas City? Two and a half hours away?

The food choices here are fucking abysmal, unless you like Applebee’s and Olive Garden.

 
 

if they keep drilling, they will eventually strike anti-oil. let that spill into the ocean, and the oil is gone!!

It’s brilliant, but dum libruls can’t see the brilliance because the abortions get in their eyes.

 
 

I wonder if this will cut into the eel supply. Don’t know that I can live without eel rolls.

 
 

Rats. I was hoping for placement after T&U’s point 2.

 
 

1. You know, there are lots of rice flour based dumpling skins. I’m pretty sure Haw Gao is gluten-free.
2. Ah, in that case dumplings are no prob, since the shrimp in them are chunked into bits.
3. Wha? I don’t understand. Surely there’s some a Dim Sum place nearby. They may not be as ubiquitous as sushi bars are now, but there’s gotta be at least one nearby.

that the oil blew

3. Wha? I don’t understand. Surely there’s some a Dim Sum place nearby. They may not be as ubiquitous as sushi bars are now, but there’s gotta be at least one nearby.

Dude. I live in central Missouri. We have one shitty sushi place and one shitty sushi place/hibachi grill. I am not exaggerating when I say that I would have to drive at least two hours for dim sum. All our Chinese places are gross buffets.

Wow, DKW. I don’t know about you, but I only go to Dim Sum (or sushi) places in coastal areas.

Yeah, what’s up with that? And how are they able to flout food safety and federal labor laws? Special bribery fu? (Because they seriously do. Flout food safety and labor laws.)

 
 

Eels are sooooo nasty, yet oddly tasty on sushi. Very strange.

I think it’s the same sort of mentality that Matt “FreedumbJerx” Kibbe was displaying in this interview. Apparently oil spills are just acts of God, like hurricanes, tornadoes, plagues of locusts o’er the land, Christian rock, and so forth, so we should… uh, sue the Vatican or sumfin’, I guess. Iunno. So BP is completely blameless for the immense ecological clusterfuck in the Gulf, while Obama’s inability to immediately staunch an 850,000+ gallon-per-day oil geyser is proof that he’s the Worst. President. EVER.

Wow. No Dim Sum? Condolences to all of youse.

 
 

Huh, well do you have grad students? I think grad students make the difference. I went to a college with few grad students but many undergrads. Also, the professors all lived some distance away. Even though we were in the Northeast, where good Italian food is easy to find, the delivery pizza on campus was this greasy, vomit-inducing shit called Cappys. I called it Crappy’s, but that didn’t catch on. Of course, I was commuting and got fed dinner at home so I was never desperate enough to eat that shit (more than the one time). Nor did I smoke, which apparently deadens the olfactory senses. I used to take me a nice little walk a mile into town where there was actually some decent fucking food. I used to ride the bus too, which apparently made me weird. So there.

 
Big Bad Bald Bastard
 

(My Irish ancestors loved them some eels, so maybe it’s genetic.)

That, and the fact that there was a famine going on- hell, they even ate dilisc with gusto.

I love eels myself, my great-grandfather had a smokehouse, and he’d smoke eels that he’d speared in Pelham Bay in the Boogiedown Bronx. The fat under the eelskin would melt, so you could peel those suckers like a banana, and get at all that eely goodness inside.

Huh, well do you have grad students? I think grad students make the difference. I went to a college with few grad students but many undergrads.

We do, but yeah, undergrads dominate the campus. I think the biggest problems are:

1) We’re right on the I-70 corridor between St. Louis and Kansas City, which results in a fuckton of chain restaurants for travelers/commuters;

2) The university isn’t hiring full-time, tenured professors anymore, at least not in areas that would bring in more liberal, open-minded people into the town–I feel like I’ve seen a shift in the overall atmosphere since I moved here 6 years ago because of it;

3) It’s mid-Missouri. I mean, Lawrence is sort of a mecca for hip people in Kansas, but even if people go to college here, most of them are going to move to St. Louis or Kansas City. I mean, it’s not *terrible* here, but it doesn’t really feel like a college town.

In Gainesville we used to have a place called Mr. Hon’s (the guy died in a car wreck last year) which was cited, repeatedly, for having muscovy ducks in the freezer. Yup, he was trapping local ducks to serve in his duck dishes, which is all kinds of illegal.

We also have this hideous buffet on SW 13th St, by the “Bambi” motel (hooker hangout) and the weekly motels where the drunk, PTSD Vietnam Vets hang out, which is so incredibly nasty I’m surprised there isn’t a 24 hr. clinic next door to treat the hapless diners. The Mexican construction workers used to eat there, FWIW.

Of course, in this town, one of the absolute worst places is an upscale “Asian fusion” place owned by whites. I don’t know what it is about fancy, overpriced restaurants, but a lot of them seem to have contempt for simple concepts like storing meats and seafood at proper temperatures.

(Btw, that stupid Florida website doesn’t even show all of their FORMER inspections with critical violations, just the most recent one. What is the point of inspections when they’re totally toothless? In Mass. places like that got shut the fuck down!)

Here’s how they catch ’em. You go down to the beach, just like in the video. Then you dig a hole in the sand and toss in a couple dead chickens. All that’s left is to come back the next day and harvest your poisonous critters with out getting injected with too much centipede venom. Good times.

I can’t recall one, but I did get my cat from that pet store. The little fuzzball was climbing the side of the cage and meowing frantically to get my attention — it was so adorable that I just had to buy him.* In retrospect, maybe it was a desperate cry for rescue.

*(he rewarded this act, in true feline fashion, by launching an unprovoked assault on my ankle the moment I let him out of his box.)

 
 

Love me some eel and dim sum, too. Googled up Kansas City dim sum and Bo Ling there looks pretty decent- definitely a cut above microwaved frozen gyoza, though no duck foots. And the Fforde books look to be right up my alley- will have to investigate- I get most of my book faves from such serendipitous finds.

But above all, I have to salute Gavin for the Imagination by the Quotations link (yibbity- ma- ma- ma etc.). Doo-wop is a passion. I would transliterate the scat syllabification as imminy-ma-ma- etc. to go better with the word imagination, but that’s fodder for a dissertation still to be written by someone else.

Jesus, I have seen those foot-long horrors in Arizona. They are hard to kill and definitely not very appetizing.

 
 

Jeepers, I am spoiled out here on the left coast. It’s a hard life in the middle. You have to drive, like, hours, and sometimes even across state lines, before you can get either dim sum or an abortion. Where’s the fun in that? At least you don’t have to wait 24 hours and look at foetal chicken foot films before you get your dim sum.

 
 

You know, horse is starting to look like the sustainable uber resource of the future. Horse’s heads can be used as a personalized message to others that it’s time to go eel fishing, horse skin can be tanned to leather, horse hair is a furniture-maker’s staple, horse flesh can be made into sausage, horse bones can be ground for glue – well other than that other horse bone which you can equip for +100 ATK.

Two cents from Gallup;

http://pollingmatters.gallup.com/2010/06/what-do-americans-want-to-be-done-about.html

Large majorities say that more should be done to clean things up, but the majority also believes that BP and not the feds should be in charge of the clean-up and that BP shouldn’t be boycotted, and also a slim majority thinks that the risks for offshore drilling are too great.

too much centipede venom

I see this as a blues tune

Well, I dug a hole in the beach! (Da dum, Da dum)
And I dug that hole deeper’n hell (Da dum, da dum)
And I stuck a horse’s head in (Da dum, da dum)
And I buried it back over (Da dum da dum)

In the morning, I dug it back up (da dum da dum)
And I stuck my hand in (da dum da dum)
And I came up with
A case of too much centipede venom (DA DA DA DA DA TWANG DUM)

Nah, Missouri’s normal. You can buy liquor and beer pretty much anywhere. In Kansas, you can only buy 3.2 beer in grocery stores/convenience stores, and you have to buy liquor, full-fledged beer, and wine in liquor stores. A couple of the counties in Kansas have lifted the ban on selling alcohol on Sundays, but most of the state still has it.

Well, we have a bus system. And the buses run, um, every forty minutes. I ride the bus to work most days, which is fine, but when we only had one car, it was basically impossible for me to get to appointments without having to take the entire afternoon off. And walk a couple of miles.

Then he gets the vapors over Obama’s utterance of the word ‘ass:’

That bullying gives way precisely to his NBC News interview wanting to know whose a** to kick — rhetorical immoderation that would get a warmongering jingoistic Rethuglican like George W. Bush in hot water with the media.

Here’s how they catch ‘em. You go down to the beach, just like in the video. Then you dig a hole in the sand and toss in a couple dead chickens. All that’s left is to come back the next day and harvest your poisonous critters with out getting injected with too much centipede venom. Good times.

Who wants to eat chicken when you can have deliciously poisonous centipede?

No, the real reason – and you probably don’t want to think about this too much – is the same as using live bait in fishing. You can get a heck of a lot more meat in centipede than you have in two chickens worth of bait.

…so you’re saying the scientist in that movie was on to something?

Euw, no. That movie was gross and disgusting. I’m just talking about burying a couple of dead chickens in the sand, so that you can come back a day later to collect the swarming mass of poisonous centipedes that collect there. I believe the reason that a pair of chickens is used is because a single chicken doesn’t last long enough for the right size writhing mass of exoskeletons, legs and venomous biting mandibles to accumulate. You know, regular foodie stuff.

Jesus fucking christ. Really? This is what we are reduced to? The acting of the women is horrible even in the previews. Nevertheless, the artsy review of the movie talks about the compelling sympathy that is evoked for the poor woman in the middle of the centipede…

And I just gave up on humanity. That isn’t fucking compelling storytelling. It is shock cinema that, as always, is designed by lazy fuckers who know they could never tell a real compelling story and so have to resort to the vilest behaviors imaginable to evoke something from the audience.

Hey, know what else would make a great movie? The epic struggle of 5 year old girl from a wealthy family kidnapped and forced to grow up in septic tank. The tragedy of a man who falls into a well and is slowly eaten by rats. A man publically and bloodily tortured to death for … oh, wait, Mel Gibson did that one already.

You know, indy film makers, just because it isn’t something that people normally would film doesn’t make it compelling or edgy cinema.

Election Night Preview
 

The sketch:
(Racy music)

Cleese: (talking very fast, as do all the commentators): Hello, good evening and welcome to Election Night Special. There’s tremendous excitement here at the moment and we should be getting the first results through any moment now. We’re not sure where it will be from, it might be Leicester or from West Byfleet, the polling’s been quite heavy in both areas. Ah, I’m just getting… I’m just getting… a buzzing noise in my left ear. Urgh, argh! (removes insect and stamps on it). And now let’s go straight over to Leicester.

Palin: And it’s a straight fight here at Leicester and we’re expecting the result any moment now. There with the Returning Officer is Arthur Smith the sensible candidate and next to him is Jethro Q. Walrustitty the silly candidate with his agent and his silly wife.

Idle: (clears throat) Here is the result for Leicester. Arthur J. Smith…

Cleese: Sensible Party

Idle: …30,612. (applause) Jethro Q. Bunn Whackett Buzzard Stubble and Boot Walrustitty…

Cleese: Silly Party

Idle: …33,108. (applause)

Cleese: Well there we have the first result of the election and the Silly party has held Leicester. Norman.

Palin: Well pretty much as I predicted, except that the Silly party won. Er, I think this is largely due to the number of votes cast. Gerald.

Chapman: Well there’s a big swing here to the Silly Party, but how big a swing I’m not going to tell you.

Palin: I think one should point out that in this constituency since the last election a lot of very silly people have moved into new housing estates with the result that a lot of sensible voters have moved further down the road the other side of number er, 29.

Cleese: Well I can’t add anything to that. Colin?

Idle: Can I just say that this is the first time I’ve been on television?

Cleese: No I’m sorry, there isn’t time, we’re just going straight over to Luton.

Chapman: Well here at Luton it’s a three-cornered contest between, from left to right, Alan Jones (Sensible Party), Tarquin Fin-tim-lim-bim-lim-bin- bim-bin-bim bus stop F’tang F’tang Olé Biscuitbarrel (Silly Party), and Kevin Phillips Bong, who is running on the Slightly Silly ticket. And here’s the result.

Woman: Alan Jones…

Cleese: Sensible

Woman: …9,112. Kevin Phillips Bong…

Cleese: Slightly Silly

Woman: Nought. Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim bus stop F’tang F’tang Olé Biscuitbarrel…

Cleese: Silly

Woman: 12,441. (applause)

Cleese: Well there you have it, the first result of the election as the Silly Party take Luton. Norman.

Palin: Well this is a very significant result. Luton, normally a very sensible constituency with a high proportion of people who aren’t a bit silly, has gone completely ga-ga.

Cleese: And we’ve just heard that James Gilbert has with him the winning Silly candidate at Luton.

Idle: Tarquin, are you pleased with this result?

Palin: Ho yus, me old beauty, I should say so. (Silly noises including a goat bleating).

Cleese: And do we have the swing at Luton?

Chapman: Er… no.

Cleese: (pause) Right, well I can’t add anything to that. Colin?

Idle: Can I just say that this is the second time I’ve been on television?

Cleese: No, I’m sorry there isn’t time, we’re just about to get another result.

Palin: And this one is from Harpenden Southeast. A very interesting constituency this: in addition to the official Silly candidate there is an unofficial Very Silly candidate, in the slab of concrete, and he could well split the silly vote here at Harpenden Southeast.

Jones: Mrs Elsie Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Cleese: Silly

Jones: 26,317 (applause). Jeanette Walker…

Cleese: Sensible Jones: 26,318…

Cleese: Very close!

Jones: Malcolm Peter Brian Telescope Adrian Blackpool Rock Stoatgobbler John Raw Vegetable Brrroooo Norman Michael (rings bell) (blows whistle) Edward (sounds car horn) (does train impersonation) (sounds buzzer) Thomas Moo… (sings) “We’ll keep a welcome in the…” (fires gun) William (makes silly noise) “Raindrops keep falling on my” (weird noise) “Don’t sleep in the subway” (cuckoo cuckoo) Naaoooo… Smith.

Cleese: Very Silly

Jones: …two.

Cleese: Well there you have it, a Sensible gain at Harpenden with the Silly vote being split.

Palin: And we’ve just heard from Luton that Tony Stratton-Smith has with him there the unsuccessful Slightly Silly candidate, Kevin Phillips Bong.

Idle: Kevin Phillips Bong. You polled no votes at all. Not a sausage. Bugger all. Are you at all disappointed with this performance?

Neil Innes: Not at all. As I always say:

Climb every mountain

Ford every stream,

Follow every by-way,

Till you find your dream.

(Sings) A dream that will last

All the love you can give

Every day of your life

For as long as you live.

All together now!

Climb every mountain

Ford every stream…

Cleese: A very brave Kevin Phillips Bong there. Norman.

Palin: And I’ve just heard from Luton that my aunt is ill. Possibly gastro-enteritis, possibly just catarrh. Gerald.

Cleese: Right. Er, Colin?

Idle: Can I just say that I’ll never appear on television again?

Cleese: No I’m sorry, there isn’t time, we have to pick up a few results you may have missed. A little pink pussy-cat has taken Barrow-in-Furness — that’s a gain from the Liberals there. Rastus Odinga Odinga has taken Wolverhampton Southwest, that’s Enoch Powell’s old constituency — an important gain there for Darkie Power. Arthur Negus has held Bristols — that’s not a result, that’s just a piece of gossip. Sir Alec Douglas Home has taken Oldham for the Stone Dead party. A small piece of putty about that big, a cheese mechanic from Dunbar and two frogs — one called Kipper the other not — have all gone “Ni ni ni ni ni ni!” in Blackpool Central. And so it’s beginning to look like a Silly landslide, and with the prospect of five more years’ Silly government facing us we… Oh I don’t want to do this any more, I’m bored!

Palin: He’s right you know, it is a bloody waste of time.

Chapman: Absolute waste of time.

Palin: I wanted to be a gynaecologist…

Sorry, I’m still angry about the friends who got me to watch “The Cook, the thief, his wife and her lover”, which still pisses me off 20 years later…
I feel the same way about the movie ‘Happiness’ It’s the only movie I’ve ever walked out on. I would have walked out on that even if it were an in-flight movie. Of course I have deliberately skipped a hell of a lot of movies. including and especially the human centipede.

 
 

“The Cook, the thief, his wife and her lover”

But Helen Mirren! NUDE!

One out of four aint bad.

 
 

“But the ride in the rancid animal parts truck.”

What are you, a vegan?

 
 

Hey, know what else would make a great movie? The epic struggle of 5 year old girl from a wealthy family kidnapped and forced to grow up in septic tank. The tragedy of a man who falls into a well and is slowly eaten by rats. A man publically and bloodily tortured to death for

Have you ever thought about a career in movies? You got the right idea.

 
 

But the ride in the rancid animal parts truck.

Look, I’m not proud but I was stuck in Wichita and had to get to Chica–

Oh. The movie. Um, yes.

“Obscenity can’t be defined, but I know it when I see it”

Some might say that real obscenity is when a corporation destroys an entire ecosystem in pursuit of profit, abetted by corrupt politicians who destroyed the regulatory agencies. While alternative approaches are marginalized and de-funded.

And let’s not mention the wars of choice.

Ugly is the world. Art may reflect that. Crap also. Remember that “Frankenstein” was also reviled.

 
 

Remember that “Frankenstein” was also reviled

Yeah, but then he narrated How The Grinch Stole Christmas and everything was jake.

 
 

Remember that “Frankenstein” was also reviled

Really? I loved that “puttin on the ritz” bit.

Ugly is the world. Art may reflect that.

If we were talking about a movie about those things, or even relating to those things, I would agree.

What we are talking about instead is some schmuck who is essentially using the internet sensation “2 girls, 1 cup” to get his 15 minutes of fame, and a gaggle of posers promoting it as edgy when it is really about as creative and well executed as a pack of 9 year old boys trying to gross each other out.

uh-huh. Not disagreeing, necessarily, but I don’t think either of us have seen the flick.

However, maybe we can just argue about civility vs. decency instead?

 
 

pack of 9 year old boys trying to gross each other out

I remember a standard formulation of “would you rather slide down a mile long razor blade into a pool of alcohol or…”

 
 

… it is really about as creative and well executed as a pack of 9 year old boys trying to gross each other out.

Asi was Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Not everybody’s cup of tea, certainly, but certainly got the panties of Moral Majority types as well knotted up as did “Piss Christ”

Art doesn’t have to shock. Shock is not art.

But without the ability to shock, art is Thomas Kincaid.

 
 

If it makes you feel any better, the dude behind it basically lied to everyone involved in order to get them on board.

Oddly, that does make me feel a little bit better.

Grrr… I know its not important, but it still just pisses me off. I wouldn’t want it to be banned, I just wish people had better taste than to promote, much less make, shock cinema crap.

Also, world peace. That would be nice, too.

 
 

Also, the tactics of promoters really have little to do with the film in itself.

Although I am also amused by the film-maker’s need for deception to get it made. There are apparently still taboos to break, which surprises me a little.

 
 

If it makes you feel any better, the dude behind it basically lied to everyone involved in order to get them on board.

umm, just the money guys.

He was upfront with the actors and techs. Some actors backed out.

 
 

But without the ability to shock…

Which brings me back to the original point. anyone can shock. Revulsion is easy. Why encourage people to keep lowering the bar until a guy taking a dump on a sleeping baby is considered art?

 
 

Oh please please please make it so.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0610/38212.html

 
 

I do kinda feel like shock cinema has its place. Without Night of the Living Dead, would Eraserhead have been made?

Boundaries are challenged in shock cinema, and then made acceptable by ‘serious’ filmmakers.

 
 

Popping in to say thanks for the input. I’m gonna addess some of these issues with the designer.

 
 

Why encourage people to keep lowering the bar until a guy taking a dump on a sleeping baby is considered art?

Lowering the bar doesn’t mean that will be considered art.

However, challenging taboos is part of what art is supposed to do. Porn movies showed guys kissing long before Brokeback Mountain.

 
 

Boundaries are challenged in shock cinema, and then made acceptable by ’serious’ filmmakers.

Awesome. We can look forward to the day when no movie is complete without a shit-eating scene.

You make my point for me. All creative work doesn’t have value, and an unwillingness to distinguish between “pushing the envelope” and “this is just fucking stupid” just encourages people to seek their 15 minutes of fame by doing the “this is just fucking stupid”.

 
 

However, challenging taboos is part of what art is supposed to do. Porn movies showed guys kissing long before Brokeback Mountain.

Actually, guys were kissing long before “art” got involved. I’m not sure if I’m buying the argument that much of the porn industry (gay or otherwise) is considered art, nor that it blazed the way for Brokeback Mountain.

 
 

Oh please please please make it so.

ecch. Zombie is lousy at debating, and frames his arguments poorly.

I don’t say that either. Certainly not saying porn is art, with the exception of Tintin showing wingnuts pooping. What I do say is that, generally, shock precedes art. The shocking, fame-seeking provides new ground for artists to plow.

And I MEANT all those veiled references, so you degenerates can just have at it.

Yeah, you could have sunk your teeth into my argument in a bunch of places, lol.

I get what you are saying, and in a lot of cases agree. There is artistic porn, there is even artistic revulsion. There is little to disguish art from “whatever else you want to call it” except the spirit it was made in and the opinion of the viewer. And maybe not even then.

I just don’t think all art needs to be encouraged or even accepted just because it is “art” or called art. Some people seem to do what they do out of contempt for their audience.

I think one of the topics of conversation here is a movie about pseudo-centipedes, and this is a boat out of which I will not get, except if the conversation is coming from inside the boat. Then I will swim and swim and don’t try to stop me; I’ll take you down with me.

But when it comes to translatin’ Swankish or proto-Swankish, I am always up for that. So I put it through the Amazing Translatin’ Machine, original Swankish, to German, to Italian, to Albanian, and then back to English, in order to discern the true meaning.

“To desecrate the loss of homosexuals has no limits. The islamofacists will rejoice as we hung from our libertine libidinous licentious and fireworks.”

Okay. Yes, obscure, but not without redeeming hints. The first sentence could be interpreted to mean that losing homosexuals would be an infinite tragedy. Yay. The second sentence, I just keep coming up with “Reply hazy, try again later”. But there are fireworks, and where there are fireworks, there may be starbursts, and that might make somebody happy.

Meanwhile, I would like to go to the movies and see “Splice”. I adore Sarah Polley. What do you think? Will I like it?

 
 

I just don’t think all art needs to be encouraged or even accepted just because it is “art” or called art.

Art can be as contemptible as its consumers, but it beats working every time.

Whoah. 0.3% precincts reporting. I blame the bourbon Obama.

Heh – total thread domination achieved!

 
 

Okay, Blanche is now at +8K votes with 84.5% of precincts reporting. Halter apparently couldn’t halt her. Although the contest between the two was tight. They were practically on top of each other all evening, both surging towards that inevitable final climax.

 
 

Okay, Blanche has her Senate nomination in hand. Cue the derivatives trading lobbyists. Conference committtee is not going to be pretty.

There’s any number of movies that I haven’t seen, having read descriptions from reviewers whose opinions I trust (from previous calibrations) that make them sound BORING AS FUCK. This includes Human Centipede, which sounds not only BORING AS FUCK, but also lacking in cinematographic craft.

Then there are movies that pass the BAF test but would probably squick me out, like In My Skin or Trouble Every Day.

 
 

If they’re no more popular than the random hippie parties, then why do they get all the media attention?

No, wait, don’t answer that.

THAT MOVIE BLOWS. Not even blows donkey cock, just plain blows. Although Ken Foree is a bright spot. I came in the middle when my coworker was watching a pirated copy and thought it looked okay. Then I watched from the beginning and realized the movie was complete crap. Fuck you, Ulli Lommel. Some of my friends lived in PWC.

Fuck it, not editing to seem like I’m cooler about it. I mean, there’s always shit like RED ZONE CUBA to put you straight to sleep or classics like THE WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN that make you fear for the future of humanity (the movie… is a lie… everything about it… is a lie…).

Yes, another fucking post about my website. So listen…I read all the comments on here and, yeah, the site really needs some tinkering (quite a lot actually). So I’ve brought up all the issues with the designer and I’m sure she can address them all. Anyway, thanks again for giving it a looksee and for the input. It was sincerely appreciated.

Well, actually, I’ve shown it some friends and they are having problems with some issues:

1.) They do not find the text big or readable enough. I think the color does not contrast enough for some.
2.) The Flash entry page seems to be different on every browser. I think I’d like to scrap it.
3.) I think the blog would look good with a border around each entry.
4.) The gallery display is awfully small. Many people remarked they could barely see my works.

Orly Taint has the shittiest wig in politics.

I went to the polls last night and stood there in line for 20 minutes, shuffling along in silence with all the other penitents. I already knew prop. 14 would pass, destroying any chance of third-party challenges in California. There were a couple of good measures (13 and 15) but I cannot express the depth of my apathy.

The line stopped moving. I sighed. I walked away. First time I’ve ever not voted in my adult life.

I may not vote again. My interests are completely unrepresented, and they never have been.

But hey, that’s kind of a downer, so here’s a useful punch line, great for any joke: “I don’t know, but his FACE rings a bell!”

 
 

You guys actually get enough turnout in primaries that you have to wait at least twenty minutes to vote?

I know everyone is looking down on me for even dealing with AOL… well, here’s the truth: I had an account with Erol’s. They rocked. A … friend of mine was running some AOL forums and begged me to get a free trial so I could participate. I was all, I don’t know about this, but the hook was that the creator of STATIC, Dwayne McDuffie, was an AOLbie at the time. Dwayne McDuffie. (He went on to write extremely fanboytastic episodes of Justice League Unlimited, with an Alan Moore-ish The Question flirting with, um, I think it was Huntress. Rock.) So I STUPIDLY signed on. Then I moved. I called TWICE trying to get service canceled. The second time they lied, then I was out of state… Well, anyway, I got played KNOWING it was AOL and I was going to get played. Sometimes you play with fire and ya get burned.

Calibre, thanks!!! So many traditions I’m not aware of!!

 
 

Interesting that you’d ask about those two memes.

Firstly, Rule 34.

goatse is a picture of a man’s gaping wide asshole. GAPING. A big enough hole to toss a couple dead chickens into.

So the “fun” part was getting unsuspecting folks to click on a goatse link. Likt the Rickroll thing. You know stuff like – Anna Kournikova NUDE pics or Obama’s long-form birth certificate.

So, a mean person could have answered both of your questions with:
Rule 34.

 
 

Jesus. Thanks for the warning. And I’m not gonna click. I may hold myself and rock back and forth, though.

Sub, no way I’m clicking.

 
 

Also, I have to know…once and for all…WTH is Rule #34? and goatse?

I believe you can ask the WikiWakiWoo about both, and get answers that are SFW.

However, some questions are better left unasked, especially if you still have any naive idealism about humans.

especially the goatse. Do NOT get out of the boat on that one. Worse than Human Centipede.

And put some hooters on those nymphs!!! that Centipede!!!

 
 

Aw DKW, that linky she’s a blanky. Taint nowhere’s near as much fun. Sides, I rather think my description was apt. Spot on, if you will. Evocative.

 
 

And isn’t saying “goatse is like a RickRoll” similar to saying, “Well, it’s Die Hard, in a building”.

Precedents, and such.

 
 

I win teh internetz! Thread mine. All done now.

Yeah, laid off has its perkz.

But then again, nothing is ever lost on the internets. DO NOT CLICK!

I have been good, I didn’t mention them in the thread previously, but they are doing fine, the warranty gas tank is on its way for my Sport 1000S and it should be installed by the end of the week. The Monster 620 continues to be a fantastic around town bike, and saves me tons on gas when I run my errands. I was thinking of dropping a tooth on the front sprocket to gear it a little bit lower for better manners at city driving speeds.

Mid to high 40’s, I would guess, not knowing how much WFO is in your around town riding. The Ho’s SV650 does about 50 but he’s pretty tame.

I once _needed_ to replace my chain and sprockets on another SV650. I had let it go to far then went on a long weekend ride and the rear wheel was covered with metal shavings. I had to get it fixed ASAP so I could go on a very important group ride (yeah, ANY ride is very important). The closest to stock anyone had in stock was +2. Can you say wheelie monster? Have fun!

 
 

I was thinking of dropping a tooth on the front sprocket to gear it a little bit lower for better manners at city driving speeds.

Speaking totally from ignorance here but wouldn’t it be easier to get a 1-tooth bigger rear sprocket? Is it easier to pull the sprocket from the drive side than to pull the tire and change the sprocket?

On a related note, I have the bug to get a bike again. ‘Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth I had a Suzuki GT 360 (2-stroke road bike, believe it or not). I picked up a scooter for Mrs. Chowder’s birthday (shhh, don’t tell!) and have had enormous fun riding it around (seller to office to stash it, downtown to transfer title, etc.). I’m thinking I’d like a bike in the 400 – 650 cc range, something I could ride comfortably over weekend-travel distances, maybe 2-up. DO NOT WANT a V-twin (Fuck Harley and all who sail in her). Don’t really want a sport bike either because OLD. Does that leave me as a BMW riding weenie or are there other options? Suggestions welcome.

 
 

So you’re gonna fix it then, yeah?

I’ll see what I can do. 😉

Just as I said before, the Conservatives are winning in Republican primaries all across the fruited plain. Tea Party backed gubernatorial candidate Paul LePage won the Republican primary in Maine. I doesnt matter who wins the Democrat primary, all of the Dem candidates for governor are far left socialists who wont stand a prayer, especially in this current climate where the American people are finally waking up to the Democrats socialist agenda.

I for one am looking foward to November with growing anticipation. Or more exactly I would be looking foward to November, if these coastal seafood resturants, open in the summer only, werent so dang good.

Chain and sprockets should all be changed at the same time. Otherwise they last about 140 miles.

I’m an evangelist for the SV’s so I’ll start there.

The Suzuki 650 is a 90 degree twin, as are most Ducati’s, KTMs and just about every other twin sportbike where Hardly’s are 45 degree P’sOS with some inexplicably bizarre and ridiculous firing order. Also Harleys suck. The Gladius version (previously SV650_not_the_S_model) has a more upright riding position that most older riders prefer over the admittedly somewhat extreme ergonomics of the S version. It will do two up (assuming you’re not both rotund) and is fine but definitely not optimum for weekend jaunts. It’s inexpensive, and there’s a bazillion after market accessories and upgrades available.

The new Honda NT700 looks very interesting. It’s brand new so I have no personal experience or knopwledge but hell, it’s a Honda – it’s almost gauranteed to be a _good_ bike if not a standard setter. It looks like a good compromise between commuter and tourer. And it’s a Honda, did I mention that?

The BMW F650 and F800 are wonderful machines. I’ve ridden each and came away just about as impressed as I expected to be. They are BMW’s, you know. But mang, you pay $$$$ for them.

Ducati SV650

I know you are doing this just to make me grit my teeth. It worked. My dentist will forward the bill for my new crown.

Given that the monster has almost 10k miles on it, if I change any of the sprockets, I am looking at 2 new sprockets and a new chain.

As for small bikes, I recommend a Ducati Monster 696. It is small enough to be very nimble, big enough to be reassuring when carrying passengers. If you’re looking for a used bike a 3-4 year old multistrada would be a good bike at a good price if you can handle the ugliness. For other brands, a Suzuki V-Strom is more upright and a little more dual sporty. Of course there’s also a KLR 650 from Kawasaki or a BMW as well.

 
 

Until all of the rinos have been purged, the Republican Party will be unable to effecively lead the Conservative movement in this country. Rinos should not be allowed to serve as Republican candidates. There needs to be a Conservative litmus test for any Republican candidate running for political office. Any Republican politician who supports amnesty for illegal aliens, gun control, gay rights, abortion, globalization, big government or any other leftwing position, needs to be purged from the Party.

Only once the rinos have been effectively purged will we be able to take back America.

Damn shame.

Speaking of “Bimmeling the Herr Doktor”,

One thing I learned from the Mediterranean aid-flotilla saga is the importance of relaxing gun controls. If the people on that ship had been armed they would have been able to incapacitate the deranged gunmen earlier, with less loss of life.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — An unemployed military veteran who raised no funds and put up no campaign website shocked South Carolina’s Democratic Party leadership by capturing the nomination Tuesday to face Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint in November

“As far as I know, he never showed up at anything.”
“I would’ve liked very much to be a candidate against Jim DeMint,” Rawl said, describing his sole primary rival as something of a mystery. “I never saw him. I’ve still never met him.”
