Who’s Supposed To Be Lynching Whom Here?

ABOVE: American “Thinker” Thomas Lifson
Thomas Lifson, American, er, Thinker:
Concealing Black Hate Crimes
- President Blackity-Black DeKenya McMuslim is encouraging black mobs to beat up white people and his
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
Funny, the “Eric Holder” D.O.J. is basically the Bush D.O.J., except with Holder in charge of it.
~
Obama doesn’t care about white people.
Honest voices are telling the truth about the serious race problems we have now, and the Obama administration’s heinous role in exacerbating them.
There’s your mango. I don’t suppose Lifson’s going to shed any tears for whistleblowers.
~
President Obama isn’t personally spanking juveniles who’ve been charged with misdemeanors in their own local jurisdictions, so he’s clearly protecting hate criminals.
In other news, come out, Tea Partiers, to protest the strong-arm tactics of the Federal government into our state and local issues!
We had a couple of muggings around my relatively affluent and liberal neighborhood here in Chicago with the apparent criminal trio apprehended a few days later and people acted like it was Watts ’65.
When will teh preznit let the white folks carry the armaments they need to kill the hordes of marauding negroes?? Oh, wait…
Forget it, Jake. It’s summertime.
I definitely am not getting out of the boat for American Stinker. Took me a week to fumigate the place after the last time. Has he been browsing StormFront lately or something? I do rather wish that these closet racists would find some new lies about the abuse white people suffer. I am really bored to death with this one.
Obama only has to say the word and the SCARY NEEEGRO HORDE will be unleashed upon whitey.
I can’t imagine going through life thinking like that.
I can’t imagine going through life thinking like that.
I do not think you can properly describe what is going on there as “thinking.”
I wonder what that one word is. Don’t keep us all in suspense S. cerevisiae.
Damn you FBI hate crimes unit and your damn statistics!!!
showing the opposite to what Bozo Mcnumbnuts said.
Ah, sexual orientation crimes are more prevalent than Anti-white crimes. That’s a little creepy

I can’t speak for S. cerevisiae, but I suspect the word is “Mandingo.”
Forget it, Jake. It’s

I think bbfk’s tag-fails may be contagious. She is the Typhoid Mary of tag-fails. I’ve evidently contracted it. So the tag-fail above is NOT my fault!
TinTin: Re the photoshop: The urine stain was deft.
I suspect the word is “Mandingo.”
I think he would choose a word that is more African-y and scary and dangerous. So my guess is “Zulu”.
(a terrific war film, btw)
The thread is too young to die. It’s only 20.
We did what we could.
*goes into the shadows for a good cry*
Even if true, the simple fact that there are five or six times more whites than blacks in the US actually means that teh blacketty blacks are getting offed by whites at nearly twice the rate of the reverse compared to what random chance would suggest.
Point. Central. Rinse. Repeat.

Damn you FBI hate crimes unit and your damn statistics!!!
showing the opposite to what Bozo Mcnumbnuts said.
My introduction to online discussion – the forum that popped my cherry, so to speak – was the NYT Religion in America forum. I went there specifically because I heard Pat Robertson blaming 9-11 on atheists (circa 9/25/11) and I thought to myself “Self, the saner people among the believers will surely disown this pathetic charlatan.”* About two years later I left that forum and found my way into the wider online world.
Anyway, there was a fundie Baptist loon there who was trying to make the point that 9-11 barely killed more New Yorkers than ordinary Mandingo violence. I found the FBI stats on line to prove that the cities of north Florida (his home) had higher per-capita violent crime rates than NYC. His response: the FBI cooked the stats to make NY look better. In other words, once one is capable of believing in a god that wants you to handle snakes and speak in tongues, one is capable of believing anything.
*Self likes it when I speak formal-like.
Chilli Dawgs, hell. Corn dawgs.
Thanks, g, from the last thread. made me larf loudly. My neighbors must wonder.
Drat. Ze link, she no work in preview. If it 404s, use the g link.
Niggers,
Violence committed by a white person is “violence”, sometimes “random violence”.
Violence committed by a black person is “black violence”.
Thus is privilege maintained.
A veritable Gordian Knot of Conservatard pretzel logic salted with the usual racist hypocrisy.
I think part of it what it is is that, in a way, the wingnuts want their own civil rights movement. They’ve seen how MLK, Jr. and Rosa Parks and the Little Rock Nine and the like have all gone down as national heroes, and they want in on that action. They want to have their own version of the Selma march and “We Shall Overcome” and “I Have a Dream” and all that. Because the people who actually did that have acquired a certain cultural cachet, and because wingnuts can’t tolerate the idea of not owning and controlling everything, even ideas, they need to have it.
Unfortunately, when you’re made up of mostly rich, white, well-connected men, such injustices are hard to come by, so they have to scrape together whatever they’ve got, which is why their complaints about how they’re being oppressed are always so petty or else just an outright lie.
Or they could just be pigheaded racists earnestly living in fear of teh Great Blackie Takeover. Probably both.
For those who enjoy toxic sludge, don’t miss the Investor’s Business Daily piece that Lifson is quoting from. It’s filled to the brim with delicious racist shit-chunks. And the comments at both American Stinker and IBD are better still.
My favorite comment (from IBD):
racism was being eradicated in this country up until obama became president.
I can’t understand why I didn’t notice that.
Also, this intriguing prediction (again from the IBD comments section) of how Obama will win the 2012 election by using mobs of shiftless darkies to drive away right-thinking voters:
Imagine the lack of anti-0 turnout in many precincts, particularly those where hordes will be roused from the streets with cigarettes and a hot meal (having already been registered by “community activists.”
More than twice as many whites are murdered by a black than cases of a white murdering blacks.
And according the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, over four times as many white-on-black hate crimes occur as black-on-white. Also according to wikipedia(quoting the UCR), 86% of whites are murdered by other whites, and a 2011 study “which examined the racial disparities in violent crime and incarceration from 1980 and 2008 found little difference for black share of violent offending. Racial imbalances in arrests vs. incarcerations were both small and consistent across the time period.” Oh noes chocolate hate crime wave being concealed!!!! BY REALITY.
World domination is the ultimate goal of the nazi’s. The objective of monitoring (sattelite, infrared, thought monitoring) is to expand to all persons worldwide. Logistically, it isn’t possible for all thoughts from all people all of the time to be monitored. The concept of homogenity is meant to rectify this problem. If, with the use of compellor technology, aritificial impulses technology, and subliminal messaging thoughts and actions could be controlled and urges, schedules, thoughts could be sent en masse, in synchronicity; then monitoring would become easy, and require little in the human resource sector.
This goal is as unfeasible as omniscience.

The pigs at the slaughterhouse are in cages, stacked almost to the next level, and next the rafters.
Unable to manuever in their inadequate confines, they become mad and bite at one anothers tails, and ram against the wires of the cage.
What causes this irrational behoavior? The conditions of the factory are probably a factor, but the condition of madness must have another catalyst.
Q: Could it be the result of harmful chemicals in the pigs slop?
Q: Is it possible that the chemicals in pork, along with chemicals in drinking water, and technogical tranposed impulses and subliminal messaging is contributing to the uprising of irrational, aggressive and disoriented behavior people?
A: Yes.

Of. behavior people.

You deleted the . Haha, very funny.
The psychological exams of many police departments, and goverment agencies are standarized. Standarized tests are not ideal for a number of reasons. One, is that an effective exam will be the result of an extensive background review, and questions tailored to the percieved personality and history of the individual being reviewed. Another pressing issue regarding the tests is cheating on the exam. There are many duplicate copies of the same exam, allowing those with control issues and violent tendencies to join police forces, armed forces, and secret agencies.
The real exam is a personalized questionairre, and these results are often filed elswhere; with the standarized, copied test results filed for general information in office settings.
Michelle Bachmann wins Iowa straw poll. I am sure that Barack Obama is quaking in his boots with worry.

Ah. Spouse just whipped up a little cocktail in the blender – fresh pineapple, coconut water, lime juice, sugar, Mount Gay Rum and a dash of Goslings black rum, a dash of grenadine and a drop of West Indian Orange bitters.

I’m sorry, but the giddiness is practically leaping off the screen. The nutters aren’t scared–they’re happy. They want a race war. Have for a long time. And if they have to gin one up, by god, they’ll do it.

In other PENIS news:
The French Coqs were beaten twice today in the seeding round of AFL International Cup play. First by the defending IC premieres, the Papua New Guinea Mosquitoes 70-0 then by the Tonga Tigers 48-6.
The US Revolution had a good day, defeating the Canadian Northwind 15-12 and the Peace Team (consisting of 13 Isrealis and 13 Palestinians) 80-0.
The other big winners on the day were the New Zealand Hawks, the South African Lions, the Irish Warriors and the Nauru Chiefs.
As Trevanian points out in The Loo Sanction, small pugnacious men who might be called bantam roosters as a nickname can get the nickname Petit Coq if they’re francophone. Or, in abbreviation, ‘Tit Coq.
VS, You know that in their twisted little minds they see themselves as defending the flower of white womanhood against the invading dusky masses in some kind of Mad Max world. They get off thinking about mowing down those dark animals like so many pixels on their Xbox.

Oh, VS, don’t you want us to have a war?
I know you have all been worried sick but you can stop worrying now. Just back, safely, after 2300+ miles of FABULOUS motorpickling. Thanks for your concern.
Now then , what’d I miss?
Somewhere in the ReaLAMErikkkan Heartland:
“Hello, 911. What is your emergency?”
“Hello! I just looked out my window and there’s an armed black man walking around with a gun!”
“OK sir, stay calm -”
“Did I mention he’s black?”
“Yes sir. Do you feel you’re in any immediate danger?”
“Are you CRAZY? He’s BLACK and he has a GUN!”
“… OK. Can you describe him sir?”
“Well … He’s black. And he has a gun.”
“… Can you tell me what he’s doing?”
“He’s – Hey, he’s walking over to a police car with the woman who lives across the street … Holy CRAP. He’s in a police uniform! Oh my God, he must have killed a police officer and stolen his car and now he’s going to rape this woman! Oh God, this is awful!”
“Sir? Sir! That IS a police officer. He was responding to a noise complaint. Someone in your neighborhood is playing Prussian Blue at full volume.”
“What? WHAT? You let them serve on the police force now? And I have to play it loud. It’s the only thing that keeps the damn Jews next door from raping my wife.”
I would think it hard to find mason jars large enough for pickled motors.
noen’s memory is not a thing with which to trifle.
er, maybe I didn’t get it. Myself.
Whenever I went for longish stretches without a motorcycle my friends would play the Arlo Guthrie song with the lyrics “I don’t want a pickle, I just want to ride on my motorsickle.” Hence, “motorpickle.” Sue me. Or bite me, it’s all the same.
Off topic question from someone who’s never dyed his hair:
How would I temporarily bleach my hair blond? I mean, for a day or so. I’m trying to work out the logistics of a possible John Constantine Halloween costume.
My hair is very black.
And no, I refuse to go as the Keanu Reeves version.
Looks like it can’t be done.
Oh well, I’ll think of some other super nerdy costume for this year.
Two words: Hydrogen peroxide.
To wit:
That’s permanent.
It would work if I was willing to have blond hair for a long time. I’m not. I also don’t really want to dye it black again. It’s just too much work for a costume nobody I know will actually recognise.
With my 11th Doctor (from Doctor Who) costume from last Halloween, none of my friends realised I was even wearing a costume. Tweed jackets and bow ties are in my usual everyday wardrobe (although I avoid them both at once, for obvious reasons). I got some nice comments on the street from total strangers though.
Also the danger that you’ll end up looking like Asian girls who want to go blonde but can’t get their hair any blonder than peroxide reddish brown.
How about a wig?

The Internet is amazing.
Chilli Dawgs, hell. Corn dawgs.
To quote Charles Portis, “Look at those eyes. We are entering a new Age of Reptiles.”
I think one of my favorite Halloween costumes was when I went as Devil in a Blue Dress, though the time I duct-taped the plastic t-rex to my stomach, shoved his head through a rip in my t-shirt, squirted it down with vampire blood and went as “that dude from Alien” was cool too…though it was really hard to drive in that costume since my car at the time didn’t have a tilt steering wheel. Ol’ t-rex kept trying to lummox up the steering by getting his head stuck in the spokes of the steering wheel.
“Sir? Sir! That IS a police officer. He was responding to a noise complaint. Someone in your neighborhood is playing Prussian Blue at full volume.”
Silly Arky, we have always been at war with Prussian Blue.
Also the danger that you’ll end up looking like Asian girls who want to go blonde but can’t get their hair any blonder than peroxide reddish brown.
Hey, Spearhafoc, you can always dress as a Harajuku girl. Do you have any rûsu sokkusu in the wardrobe?

This is central to my point.
While I am not certain that we will recognize PeakWingnut during our lifetimes, I think that a UnifiedFieldTheory of Wingnuttery might be possible.
I would think we should start with the following: White wingnut fear of a Black Planet involves an absolute certainty that they will be treated as their ancestors may have treated black folk, and that they still harbor an enormous guilt that they cannot resolve and it kills them.
Funny thing is that we don’t really care about the past, so much as long is it is acknowledged, most if not all are looking to a future of equality, and I suspect the same for females, gays, transgendered folk, and any other persons of color/oppressed groups (furries?)

It has been reported that the “youths” involved in the racial attacks at the Wisconsin State Fair will be charged with hate crimes. If so, and if convicted, this will mark a major development. Heretofore, many have claimed that it is impossible for “blacks” to be “racists” because only the majority can be racists, since it is a by-product of power. It is way past time for racial hatred to be denounced in the face of any and all who proclaim it.
A mirror reflects upon a kettle.

Insofar as you can trace their rage back to something coherent, highlighted part is central to it. The fact that people around them acknowledge the past (and the impact it has on the present) and remember it for what it was might just be the single biggest source of bitching for them (packaged as disdain or anger for “white guilt”).
T-Paw has dropped out of the race. He’s merely an asshole and therefore cannot compete with those who are both assholes and batshit insane.
That hatrred has been brewing and stewing for years and it is now really coming to a rolling boil in a growing number of cities all across America..
Except, you know, it isn’t; there is not only no evidence it’s “coming to a boil,” the evidence shows the number of crimes virtually unchanged since 1980.
It does not bode well for the future unless it is acknowledged and firmly condemned by the black communities in those cities
I’ve encountered the same idea from a couple different sources recently, which is basically what gets pushed down below an equilibrium point will come back up, and often the rougher you are pushing down, the rougher the return will be. Now, you can condemn that if you want, but it’s pretty fucking stupid. It’s beyond stupid to expect whatever you’ve pushed down to condemn it’s own obedience to natural laws.
Heretofore, many have claimed that it is impossible for “blacks” to be “racists” because only the majority can be racists, since it is a by-product of power.
I’ve found people who define racism that way(or not quite that way, as the ones I’ve read have emphasized that institutions are racist, people are bigoted) are still quite capable of recognizing and condemning bigotry even when they see it in their own group.
I guess it boils down to don’t lie about the great black crime wave, and don’t expect black people to apologize for your lies.

And of course, as someone pointed out further up, the teabaggers won’t ever hear about it.
It’s exactly like the Muslims; you can scream yourselves hoarse denouncing 9/11, but the only thing the Goopers will ever hear is what Fox News tells them about “those animals ululating in the streets after 9/11,” so the chants of “why won’t you condemn it?” will persist no matter what you do.
This clears the way for the mighty Trump comeback juggernaut.

Ohhhh no no no…You’re giving them WAY to much credit with this implication that innate racism has some level of complication and is rooted in a marginally noble motivation.
No, these assclowns are nothing more than spoiled fucking brats who are motivated only by greed and hate. They are unevolved children.
If we’re to explore a unified field theory, I believe the cornerstone has got to be immaturity and childishness. Some undeveloped area of the brain that leaves them still being the bratty little fucker that won’t share his toys, even if he’s not playing with them.
If it weren’t for the Kochs I wouldn’t be the scholar I am today.
“She (Bachmann) understands that our Constitution was founded on biblical principles…”
Closest thing to a coherent explanation I’ve seen on this is that even if the Founding Fathers weren’t theocrats, or very religious, or in some cases even Christian, they came from a Christian-dominated and Christian-shaped culture, ergo, Judeo-Christian principles.
The people who make that argument are making a pretty honest admission that it doesn’t matter if the Founding Fathers were Christian or followed Christian principles, all that matters is they were part of the Christian Tribe (if only by association or heritage).

Gosh I am so sick of the race thing. I grew up with it. We were the “nigger lovers” in our neck of the woods. Why? Because, to start with, my grandfather went to a black man’s funeral, in 1919. But it had started before that, when my grandmother gave hungry black children cookies but made the Davis children (the rich Davis family who were bought up failed farms) pay the penny for theirs. It got worse when my mother began tutoring black children after school, for free; when my older brother began a friendship with a black gospel singer from the “Negro” church; when James Milton, the black, 5?10? 250lb offensive lineman for our football team and I became fishing buddies.
There was always pressure from the outside to create division and hatred. It was in the field, at the gin mill, at the bank. It was everywhere. The whole fucking world was about division. And here’s the really fucked up part: the whites were more divided amongst themselves than the blacks. The blacks were just black, one big all encompassing state of mind and color and culture: all fortunately equal to each other. The whites, on the other hand, were as divided as their accents, and it was their accents more than any other single thing that layered the whites. If you stripped the clothes off the whites looking for the difference, you couldn’t find it, not until they spoke. The educated upper class whites spoke different from their lowly white trash cousins.
There isn’t a white man alive who understands the psyche of the black man. They do know though that under no circumstances, no matter how handsome or beautiful, how physically or intellectually able or gifted, no matter how rich or educated, they would never switch skin color with a black man. They know enough about the black man’s situation that they would never, even in their darkest hour, consider trading places with him. Why? Because they believe that being a black man is the most unenviable fate that could befall a human, at least in this country. And, ironically, by believing that, they will still discriminate, still take a pass at every opportunity to change this situation, and so make sure that this racism and their own position of privilege persists.
…it doesn’t matter if the Founding Fathers were Christian or followed Christian principles, all that matters is they were part of the Christian Tribe (if only by association or heritage).
Mass murderers; of course, don’t fall into this category because shut up!
The blacks were just black, one big all encompassing state of mind and color and culture: all fortunately equal to each other.
I’m not black or any kind of expert on the subject, but I’m pretty sure there’s cultural divisions between black people the same way there used to be between whites and the same way there is between Hispanics.
When I read Colin Powell’s biography, I remember him mentioning in the chapter about his marriage that there was cultural friction between his family (West Indians from New York) and his wife’s family (descendants of slaves living in Alabama). Nothing major, but it was there nonetheless. I think the fact that it’s the most homogenous voting bloc in the country, and that the rest of the country tends to uniformly just talk about “the blacks,” makes us forget that there are cultural divides there as well.

This is why they just printed the ten commandments and Beatitudes over and over on that hemp paper.
Some of the worst bigots I’ve ever met were Native Americans I grew up with on the reservation. Bigotry is colorblind. But it still didn’t alter the fact a white person living on the same reservation was 20 times more likely to get a bank loan than his Native American neighbors. Which; of course, fed the fear and hatred towards whites.
But guess who controlled the banks?
And what exactly feeds White bigots’ fear and hatred?
Chris, you’re right, there are cultural divisions, more today than yesterday. My view was and still is extremely narrow perhaps. But I am also painting with a pretty broad brush the life in the rural South. I consider myself to be as non-racist as one can be and still call himself a Southerner. I feel like we are hampered by language as much as by experience when talking about racism. Where I live now there is little racism, but like the friction between the whites in the South I grew up in, the friction here has more to do with education and economic class than anything else. And yet this is an observation I have made from being here only four years. There is a “white”, European class, and the class represented by mestizos and Indians, but the friction here is less obvious (to me) than in the States.

I just saw a scooter rolling down the road with what could only be described as a southeast Asian load of something hanging off of the back.
Back in the early 90’s (91-92), and I remember installing some Taiwanese parts on a bicycle and remarking how much the quality had improved in a short period of time and was struck with the notion, that capital was going to chase cheap labor around the world and that the US would end up a third world nation.
A couple of years later I was looking at some woodworking tools (in this case low end hand planes) and discovered that they were made in Pakistan. At this point I posited that manufacturing would only return to the US when labor costs grew low enough to out compete the Mexicans.
Of course this did not take into account the Peak Resource problem.
I don’t know exactly why that over loaded scooter made me think of that…

Wow, those are some lopsided numbers. It’s almost as if whites outnumbered blacks by at least a 2-1 margin, but we know that isn’t the case.
To paraphrase someone-or-other, I think it may have been one of Obama’s favorite historical teachers, “Any White attacks on Blacks is a vile hate crime against humanity; all violent attacks, no matter how many, committed by blacks against whites are merely never to be spoken of statistics.
Hey, that’s a neat trick!! He makes up an imaginary person, then paraphrases a non-existent quote! And presents it as a verbatim quote!
We need a…Palin or the like to stop this hate
Right, Because she’s so well known for her civility and respect in the political dialogue.

Yeah, but the guy’s attorney says he’s innocent!
For far too long, too many have received special rights.
Like the right of not being expected to apologize and atone as a group for the actions of some asshole adolescent bigots? Soo unfair!
Provider UNE commenting on the usual “I don’t believe in ‘hate’ crimes” bullshit:
They also don’t get that “hate crimes” is the euphemism to let their pasty ass off the hook. “Hate crimes” is them getting a fine dinner for free and then complaining that the steak tartare is bloodier than they were expecting and how unfair it is that they have to eat dishes they order.
Because what “hate crimes” is delightfully minimizing is straight-up old-fashioned terrorism. The act of attacking someone because of their group identity to send a memo to the other members of that group to keep their head down and be scared. When Muslims did that to white people we used it to excuse a campaign of permanent genocide across the Middle East.
When someone knifes a gay person because that person is gay and on the streets and that person was offended by that knowledge, it’s sending a message to all gay people everywhere not to speak up and be out, lest you get killed. It’s the same for racial minorities, women, trans people, and so on. Hide away, stay away from certain locations and maybe we’ll let you live.
Of course, we are completely incapable of labeling any dominant group terrorist activity as what it is. Terrorism can only exist when it is a marginalized group performing asymetrical warfare against a bigger and more powerful opponent. You know, the same thing that used to get called “Guerilla warfare” or “smart tactics” when we or people we liked were doing it. And they try to sell all aymetrical warfare as terrorism (a rival military faction with less money creates improvised bombs to attack their enemies on the battlefield, why that’s terrorism). And because anything a wingnut says is projection, this of course means they spend all their time complaining that liberals are changing the meaning of terrorism, engaging in moral relativism where different standards apply to different people, and of course make it so one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Yeah, I’m thinking in that Unified Wingnut Theory there needs to be an entry on projection and a complete lack of self-awareness.
But back to the original point, “hate crimes” are what we call terrorism when a dominant group is doing it to a marginalized group (though of course the term would still apply if ever there was a marginalized person who committed an act of violence entirely because their target was a member of the dominant group, but if that happened, you wouldn’t hear “hate crime” over the cries of “terrorist” or “lynch the bastard”).
But of course even that watered down, easily dismissed word is too much for them and they demand every crime ever (especially petty crime that happens to involve a black criminal and a white victim) be a “hate” crime, because they think they understand how dictionaries can work in the hands of morons.
Fine, we’ll stop calling them hate crimes and start calling them terrorism. Or you can eat your hate crime soup and stop whining like a baby. Your choice.

I’ll second that.
Nym-fail from Fenwick who, once again, needs moar coffee.
From the mango UNE brought back:
One thing I’ve learned from Pam Atlas and the others screeching about how the Swedish kids were a horde of dusky brown terrorists-in-training and arguments like this is that to the average wingnut:
1 non-white person = A horde of non-white people.
Furthermore, the presence of a single non-white person at an event or in reality erases and takes over at least 50 white faces or events.
I mean, look at crying about a horde over what is, if you were to be EXTREMELY charitable to their bullshit, is 1 or 2 people at best. They were the same way about the “New Black Panthers” who were “intimidating people at the polls”. Fuck, I don’t think Fox News has shut up about that incident to this day. It’s often sold like this wide-spread problem that is personally responsible for Obama “stealing” the election when it was literally 2 guys being pricks at 1 voting booth (a crime that no end of religious fuckwits and political marketers have no shortage of committing).
Not only are these cases multiplied at least a 100 fold into huge gaping problems, but they also erase all attacks or incidents in the other direction. Religious assholes intimidating voting lines, “kindly grandmothers” at voting locations trying to deliberately shame you if you are wearing liberal political apparel to voting, creepy fuckers parking their “abortion vans” where they will conveniently be seen by a voting location and staring creepily over the ranks of the sinners or playing the “you are all sinners” broadcasts, or the actual theft of actual elections by actual officials with actual power. Nope, don’t exist. 2 douchebags with a beret fetish have erased those events from space and time and replaced them with turgid brown cocks.
Now, I got that they didn’t like any non-white participation in any event (I’m in the LGBT community and the psycho white community hasn’t yet adapted to code words in talking about how we shouldn’t be anywhere in public where they might accidentally stumble across us or have to acknowledge our existence), but I hadn’t realized that they apparently literally “see” the world like this.
I mean, that’s the only way to understand events like the Pam Atlas/Debbie Schlussel “hordes of brown kids” arguments about the photos of the Swedish kids that got shot, who if they had been any whiter would have qualified as a teabagger rally or a meeting of the Young Objectivists Society. To even be able to form that argument, you literally have to see one single brown face as all you can ever see in a picture, so much that it erases all whiteness around it.
No wonder they feel that diversity efforts to include a handful of tokens feel like “invasions” and why Jonah Goldberg can whine online how the 1% non-white private school he wants to send his kids to is overrun with the darkies.
Now that I know this, I just want to send a random black guy to each of their houses, not to threaten them or call them names, but just introduce himself and shake their hands, so they are driven to boarding up their houses and going into survivalist modes just to save themselves from the dusky black horde outside their door.

One of the good lines from the Firefly spin-off comics: “It doesn’t become terrorism until one side wins.”
There’s also the number of times terrorist actions from this or that dominant group have been not just mislabeled but outright given a pass and a blind eye by those in power – e.g, J. Edgar Hoover not wanting to investigate the KKK until LBJ gave him a few kicks in the ass (and even then he farmed out the work to the Mafia at least once), but showing an obsessive interest in investigating the civil rights movement, which he feared might be run by communists.
They also don’t get that “hate crimes” is the euphemism to let their pasty ass off the hook. “Hate crimes” is them getting a fine dinner for free and then complaining that the steak tartare is bloodier than they were expecting and how unfair it is that they have to eat dishes they order.
Besides the perfectly valid points you made, I also think it’s something of a misnomer when everyone from the civil rights movement onwards associates what the racists do with “hate.” The hardcore Klansmen might be haters, but I suspect most racists aren’t; they’re just either unable to put themselves in the other person’s shoes, too lazy to try or too privileged to think about it.
Indifference has been a much bigger contributor than hate, to this day IMO. How many of Nixon/Reagan’s silent majority were actually shrieking Dixiecrats, and how many of them were low-information “centrists” just going “oh, go away, you’re disturbing me with your shrillness and your facts and I just can’t be bothered.”
My wingnut uncle (who I’m fairly sure isn’t a racist, or shall we say not a hard racist) made an observation at a family reunion a while ago about how there was still racism in his area and one of his teenage kids had gotten crap for having black friends. And went on with something that I can’t remember exactly, but the gist of it was, well, is it really racist that I don’t want my kids to go through that? His point being that sticking to your own kind, and not rocking the boat by hanging out with nonwhites – IOW, appeasing the racists – was, well, regrettable, but it keeps things nice and orderly and, well, it’s the lesser of two evils.
Wonder how much of the racism in the GOP’s base is just lazy, apathetic submission of that kind – which I suppose ties into the “institutional” and “structural” racism people are talking about.
Not sure where to start, Chris. I guess we’ll take this point by point
…I also think it’s something of a misnomer when everyone from the civil rights movement onwards associates what the racists do with “hate.”
Misnomer please. And who embodies this “everyone from”? Are you not familiar
with Medgar Evers, Chaney Schwerner and Goodman?
Not that all racists kill people (not the nice ones anyway).
And why do you surround hate with a scare quote?
The hardcore Klansmen might be haters, but I suspect most racists aren’t…
And on what exactly, do you base this suspicion?
…they’re just either unable to put themselves in the other person’s shoes, too lazy to try or too privileged to think about it.
Lazy and privilege sums up the beginning of you apologia.
Indifference has been a much bigger contributor than hate, to this day IMO.
Please to be parsing for me, the difference between indifference of suffering and how that is somehow marginally better than hatred of the sufferee?
How many of Nixon/Reagan’s silent majority were actually shrieking Dixiecrats, and how many of them were low-information “centrists” just going “oh, go away, you’re disturbing me with your shrillness and your facts and I just can’t be bothered.”
Are you attempting to describe a “both sides do it” fantasy land here? Because at the last measuring cycle the Dixiecrats that you speak of, have oddly enough been seen participating in tea-party rallies. As far as low information “centrists” go, they should not be countenanced in polite society.

I hate to break it to you son, but your Uncle is a racist (possibly mild, the kind that is scared shitless and witless by his fear (completely unjustified as it is) of a black planet) and a coward.
And yeah, it is fucking regrettable.
Wonder how much of the racism in the GOP’s base is just lazy, apathetic submission of that kind – which I suppose ties into the “institutional” and “structural” racism people are talking about.
Again with the scare quotes. I would submit that you simply don’t get it.
You seem like a decent sort, and I don’t mean to cause you any pain but you should look at this. I’d recommend a look at photo 22 to start, with a glance at 24 and 25.

If you find any Daguerreotypes with crowds of black folk surrounding a tree, lamppost or bridge from which hangs a white person, let me know.
.
One more thing Chris, the fact that racists cannot kill with impunity anymore is a loss of privilege. If they cannot keep persons of color, GLBT folk, or anyone not of their perceived ilk, out of their neighborhoods, that is an assault on their privilege.
Get along to go along is a cowardly way to conduct oneself, though we have, every last one of us, made that decision, at some point in our lives: Eyes averted, fingered ears, bitten tongue. At some point we have to step up.

I understood what Chris was saying. I’m surprised you didn’t.
Y’know, after my first thought while reading that, which was “WhOOooOO-wee. Buddy, the knee-grows is the least of your problems”, my second was “I had no idea they had Applebees salad bars in 1963. You learn something new every day.”
Odd too that if you had no idea who this waste of skin was, you might take him at his word that he was a “liberal”, and that these were “liberal” ideas he was espousing. Even beyond the “I hate black people and here’s why I deserve to” aspect, and how disgusting that sort of ass-showing is, the fucked up projection and concern trolling was a little shocking.
Also, I suspect that James Baldwin’s reaction to this piece might well have been the overwhelming desire to recreate with greater force and repetition the anecdote about the baseball bat.
The trick is going to be convincing them all that there’s one on the other side of that computer screen thingie looking in at them every time they connect to the internet.

Actually my first instinct was to state “Dude, your privilege is showing.” Then I decided to ignore, and wait for someone else to address my initial concerns…then three hours later, a few drinks in and my inner wombat was set loose.

I am dripping with privilege in pretty much every way, except POOP.
1) Neither “hate” nor “institutional” were intended as scare quotes. They were in quotation marks because I was quoting, in the first case, Cerberus, in the second case, you (though I’d read “structural” there too – mistake).
2) “And on what exactly, do you base this suspicion?”
Extrapolation from listening to the white racists I personally know. Admittedly, I can’t see into anyone’s heart. In my layman’s opinion, lack of empathy defined the racism I saw there more than hate.
3) “Please to be parsing for me, the difference between indifference of suffering and how that is somehow marginally better than hatred of the sufferee?”
It isn’t, I wasn’t trying to say that it was and if that’s what I ended up writing, then I apologize. I’m talking about what motivates white racists, not downplaying the impact it has nonwhite communities or saying that one motivation is better than the other.
Basic point was something like this: there’s a bunch of, say, hard, active white racists out there, and another whole bunch of white racists (you said “mild racist” might apply to my uncle, going with that) who go along with them and let them have their way out of apathy, laziness, or whatever else it is. And that I suspect the second group’s the bigger one. Again, that goes to motivation only, it doesn’t mitigate the end result or make the latter group better than the former.
The same observation’s been made by many regarding Germany eighty years ago – that not all Germans were Nazis by a long shot, but that plenty of those that weren’t simply sat back and let it happen.
4) “Are you attempting to describe a “both sides do it” fantasy land here? Because at the last measuring cycle the Dixiecrats that you speak of, have oddly enough been seen participating in tea-party rallies. As far as low information “centrists” go, they should not be countenanced in polite society.”
Ahhhh… no, no “both sides do it” argument. The hardcore Dixiecrats and the low information centrists were both on the same side of the argument, and the same side of the aisle starting with the “silent majority” era.
Hogeye, I hadn’t seen that video, and I thought it was awesome. 🙂

I see where you’re coming from, I think: that a lot of what is experienced by black people is the outworking of privilege rather than strong negative emotion; but I think that doesn’t really apply to whether or not hate crime is a misnomer. People don’t get charged with hate crimes for not letting a tired lady sit down because she’s a different color from themselves, they get charged with it for dragging somebody to death behind a truck or beating them to death while yelling racial epithets.

AHHHH… shit. Okay. Yes. I get it now.
I kind of segued from the previous discussion to the use of the word “hate” in general as a shorthand for racism and what guides racists (in the broadest possible sense)… and didn’t bother to indicate the transition. No, as far as hate crimes go, the word’s perfectly appropriate. Although as Cerberus points out, the most accurate word is just “terrorism,” but that’s been pretty well covered already.
Apologies to UNE, and, well, everybody else.

‘The Universal Rights of the Child’, as well as the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ have translation issues. When accessing several different countries translated English versions of the documents, I found there was discrepancies, and the documents are therefore interpreted differently. Universal?
The word provision as pertaining to the rights of the child is problematic. Common law states that when a word has more than one meaning, the most common usage is the definition chosen. There is a precedent, a standard definition in international law. ‘The Universal Rights of the Child’ states that a child is entitled to provisions; i.e. shelter, food, water, clothing and protection. This particular usage of “provision” is generally used as a military term. In law, the precedent, and the common law standard definition of provision is: an exception within a legal document.
As provision is already specified in the document as food, shelter, clothing, water and protection, the military definition is upheld. The precedent, however, as well as common law presides over the original definition. Therefore, there is an exception made within the provision, there is a provision of the provision. As such, there may be no right to provisions (in accordance with the military definition) for a child, in international law. There is no guaruntee of basic, fundamental human rights for a child in international law, and this is how displacement continues on.
‘The Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ is problematic as well. The indefinite article “the” was intentionally displaced, regarding The Human. The rights of the definite are specified within the document,i.e. the body, but the indefinite, i.e. thoughts, personality, etc, are not. Terminology from Article to Article varies, e.g. Article 8 replaces the word “person” with “man”. ‘The Universal declaration of Human Rights’ was to replace previous documentation, ‘The Universal rights of Mankind’. Previous to ‘The Universal Declaration of the Human Rights’, international law recognized the word “man” to include all persons. With the release of this documentation was an amendment to the law, stating that “man” would be replaced with “person”. “Man” would then refer to adult males. Henceforth, Article 8 is provisional, and does not apply to women and children.
The United Nations is detrimental to the rights of the human.

True story: Long ago a woman I worked with (at a casino, in Tahoe, during my lost years) heard me say I was the seventh son of a seventh son. I had no idea what was the prophecy or whatever about such so another friend supplied the info that I should have a “special way with women.” I LOLed heartily.

Okay, I actually read that first one and have to respond. WTF?! Translation problems! Provision of a provision?!
Like any treaty or agreement or wev, definitions and meanings of things are always in question. That’s why there are lawyers. No one needs your bizarre non-sensical irrelevant tripe to warn us that OMG bad people might interpret the treaties in bad ways!
d00d – here’s how it works: thems international conventions that you are all het up with are administered by international bodies under the auspicies of teh UN. In your examples these are the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and the UN Human Rights Council. Membership in these organizations are elected by teh UN, usually with staggered terms. These international bodies are the ones that officially interpret the treaties, not some random d00d with a hard-on for official-type parchment. Sure the actual documents themselves are important pieces of paper – but only because they outline the framework for the institutions that are upholding the things being protected. Things like the idea that people are not property.
Thus I put forward, anyone proposing something as ridiculous as the word “provision” means teh Convention on the Rights of the Child actually takes away guarantees of safety, food, shelter, &c. would not get their day before the Commission. Unless they were trying to defend themselves for a state-wide program of mass child murdering. In which case, I think things might go badly for them. In fact, being sanctioned by teh UN Commission would probably be of lesser importance than teh trial for war crimes.
Similarly, your other example. I can’t begin to imagine someone making the argument that women and children aren’t people to the UN Human Rights Council. I suppose if you were a massive idiot who is stupider than the stupidest moran to ever drool on his own feet.
But I totes understand that you are vested in paper, what with your desire to jam teh Constitution up your bunghole. Stop obsessing so much over documents – that wad leads to paper cuts in sensitive areas. The important part is the institutions they establish. And if you have a problem with teh institutions, well then you might have an argument. Otherwise, all you’re doing is making your self look moar out of touch than you do with teh Pacific Army stuff. 55,000 murders in Saskatchewan?!?
Is it made from real hobos?
Of course “In law, the precedent, and the common law standard definition of provision is: an exception within a legal document.” is not actually true; it is not ever defined simply as “an exception,” it is a clause providing for a particular matter. An exception clause is a particular type of provision, but not all provisions are exception clauses; exclusion clauses, for example(which you seem to have mixed up with exceptions anyway, as an exception explicitly grants what hasn’t previously been granted, it doesn’t take away). Also the common law theory of definitions wouldn’t apply in any case where a specific definition is spelled out in the document.

(Also, kind of…dada? Would it still make sense if he were licking, say, Pol Pot’s junk? My brother-in-law hates tomatoes, so I want to make sure I have the usage right, in case I ever have to use it.)
Akbar and Jeff is an awesome costume get-up. As is, of course, June Cleaver. Funny you brought that up, bbfk, because that was how I styled my devil in a blue dress – with one of those 50’s style June Cleaver dresses, pearls, pumps, and oven mitts. A very domestic devil in a blue dress, as it were.
The easiest costume I ever put together was a short, tight, sexy dress with a bag of potato chips clipped on – “all that & a bag of chips.”

must also remember this one…
so, did you wear the blue dress over a devil costume? or just go with the horns and tail and pitchfork?
I was pretty much June Cleaver (in a blue dress, natch) with horns & a tail. There was something kinda vulgar about the tail, tho.
My (arguably) best costume:
I used to have shirt that said “chick magnet” which I totally am and did not buy the shirt to compensate for my lack of self esteem or anything honestly I didn’t seriously no I’m cool, it’s ok.
ANYWAY, I safety pinned my daughters’ old barbies to it and became a more literal chick magnet.
It was a hit at the bar after everyone was thoroughly hammered.
That is awesome.
The permanance of an addication, otherwise known as a compulsive behavior, or a destructive habit is myth perpetuated to alter the perception of a person, encouraging ideas of helplessness and unchangability. Technological inventions known as compellors (an invention witheld from public knowledge for decades) sned subliminal and thought-emulator messages to the public, encouraging alcohol consumption, a “partier” lifestyle. Song after song on the radio encourages people to drink, be promiscuous, indulge and forget the troubles of the world. There is subliminal messages in these songs. “I need a drink” is more likely an artificial (or emulated) thought.
VLT’s, slot machines and casinos utlilize compellor technology; the lights on slot machines and VLT’s sending subliminal, artificial urges. Shopping centres have compellors as well. These electronically transposed messages can be sent anywhere, with a more powerul compellor than those used in stores.
Addiction is known as an attempt to self-medicate, therefore it is contradictory to name substance abuse an illness, rather than being symptomatic of another problem. Chemical dependence can be a reality, but it rapidly abates the cessation of consumption. The body becomes accustomed to a state of toxicity, and liver and kidney functioning and metabolic processes with long term use or overconsumption. An abrupt change in chemical ingestion taxes the body’s systems. However, it recovers quickly and happily begins to regulate normally.
Chemical reliance is not addiction, as it is commonly defined.

Jail systems in Canada are filled with offenders imprisoned for breach of probation, the consumption of alcohol. The vast majority of these persons are aboriginal. Our culturally reinforced misperceptions regarding addiction is transparent within the justice system. Conditional sentences that include the abstainment of alcohol is the cause or leading factor in violent or deviant behavior. Not only does these conditional sentences solidify the misperception of lack of culpability due to intoxication, but encourages an identity of helplessness, and a belief in the inability to rehabilitate. As the alcoholics anonymous saying goes “once an alcholic, always an alcholic.” If violent and deviant behavior is believed to be symptomatic of alcohol abuse, it is little wonder that so many persons struggling with problem drinking find their way back into jail or prison shortly after release.

Saskatchewan. There are bodies in the water at the water treatment plants; brought down by murderers in cages. There is corpses in the tunnels. There is bodies added to pre-existing graves. There’s incinerators at the hospitals. Care homes yards are excavated, bodies are buried; and then the yard is re-excavated, and the newly dead join the others. Dismembered body parts in garbage bags thrown callously in the river. (Water main breaks are leaky faucets, facilitated by city workers). Corpses are buried in fields, with the aid of a combine. People are dismembered, cut into bite size morsels, and fed to the pigs on hog farms. Mine shafts close down under the premise of safety concerns, and there are people trapped in the shafts, as dynamite is ignited.

About “manscaping”, I’m pretty hairless on my chest (except for a few stray hairs around my nipples). However, I did shave my legs for a brief period a few years ago. It wasn’t an appearance thing – it just made my legs less itchy. I had to stop doing it when I switched to an electric razor though.

Number one: maintain your dignity. Number two: call your adversaries to the highest principles they hold. Number three: Seize the moral high ground and Number four: Win by winning over your adversaries, by revealing the contradiction between their own ideals and their actions. It is one way that a oppressed people struggle.
Had to bold those two sections. It’s helps to have adversaries who actually have principles, and helps to have adversaries who aren’t so messed up by cognitive dissonance that they can’t even see the contradictions they routinely toss about.
Uh, I can’t believe I typed out “It’s helps”.

Also in the canned goods dep’t.: My seriously-ex ex (the late one) had a tin of Limey cat food that claimed to be made of rabbit.
Never mind. Gurgled & there are plenty of Yank (& Canuck) rabbit-for-cats foods.
Now I want rabbit food made out of cats.
Try this one. Sorry.

Hell yeah!
Nice pics emperor! Looks like a fun route — I spent a few days at Gold Beach last summer, and wished I’d been on the bike at the time.
Sun Valley was a blast — tons of great mountain biking trails, great weather, and a surprisingly good selection of Oregon beers made for a great week. It was nice to ignore the intartrons and politics for a week, but it’s good to be back.
jim thome is the man tonight…
Hell yeah!
Fer Realz. Thome is in very select company now.
I saw him during batting practice w-a-y back when he played for Cleveland. Day game (my fave). Thome’s time in the cage was nearly up, so he had some fun and jacked six or eight consecutive BP pitches out of Camden Yards. Majestic high-arcing homers. Line-drive screaming HR shots. Ooooos and ahhhhhhs launches.
All the time major joshing was going around the cage…and other practice on the field pretty much came to a stand-still. When he left the cage, Thome had a terrific shit-eating grin on his face.
Wasn’t during a game, but nevertheless, Thome’s BP exhibition is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in a Baltimore ballpark. (Also saw a triple play in my first visit to the Yards.)
I don’t know if Thome will make it into Cooperstown. (He certainly deserves it, imo). NL voters have a HUGE prejudice against Designated Hitters. Or else Harold Baines and Edgar Martinez would be there.
Also Hal McCrae
I see my house on that map pup–but you didn’t come to my awsum town.

I think he will.
My team is AL but I HATE the DH rule. It’s fucking stupid. It needs to go away. And pitchers need to fucking learn how to hit the goddamned ball. They’re baseball players. Fucking head cases. I hate pitchers too. Especially guys like Clemens and Zambrono. Fucking jerks.
I’m not a particularly opinionated sports fan.
On another note. THANK YOU LEAFS SUCK FOR TRAILER PARK BOYS. I LOVE this fucking show.
You all must watch it. And dont’ give me that douchey liberal “I don’t own a television” shit. Watch this show. It’s streaming on Netflix.

Obscure legal provision could cause big trouble for record labels
– Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Others May Regain Control of Copyrights
As it turns out, when copyright law was revised in the mid-Seventies, artists were granted “termination rights,” which would give them the right to take back control of their works after 35 years as long as they applied for it two years in advance.
‘Obscure’ meaning, as it turns out, in this case, that teh Free Market gimme a butthurt.

Do they make you fail a physics quiz before they let you in?
In a struggling recording industry, sales from catalog items have provided a reliable source of low-overhead revenue.
See, if you record company execs hadn’t wasted all your money on mansions, booze, and cars you wouldn’t be struggling so hard now would you?

She also appears to take regular showers, has no facial hair, and seems to care about her appearance to some degree.
I call fake hipster.
I see why they’re worried. Teh back catalog isn’t just their low-cost high-income best-of cash cow, it’s teh retirement plan. Teh industry is changing, and fast. Not unliek how western civilization has moved away from farming, so that now a much smaller percentage of teh population work in agriculture. Thems family farms have a fallback in that ex-urban centres are spreading closer and closer to their properties – so that if they can hang on long enough (a lot tougher in this age of AUSTERITY RULES!), they can sellout at exorbitantly rich prices.
Teh real estate is similar to Big Music’s back catalog. With digital distribution and subscription based services for teh always online – teh business model of stamping out “records” makes as much sense as farming wheat in a subdivision. Teh big record companies are going to have to change their business models (even moar than they already have) or die – and their remaining worthwhile assets are teh copyrights on classics tracks.
Whoops, forgot to de-beatify.

Yup.
Fer instance, Shrub would never have made that remark about service people respecting their COC. And the secession stuff. Rove would never let that sort of thing happen.
Btw, he should be punched in the teh testicles for that COC remark.

Sadly, no! Couple years back he claimed that his religion wasn’t a big deal, said he tried to keep it out of his official duties. No, not a zealot, a fuckng dsingenuous opportunist, which is even worse in my view than a true Xian supremacist like one-l two-n’s.

2009. I called the RCMP detachment to report a series of break and enters and unlawful trespassing of my home, and was redirected to the Saskatoon City Police Force. No police office came to my home at the time. I compiling information regarding the murder of Cassandra Isbister, and shortly thereafter phoned again, to report her murder. I heard the shot ring out in the village that night, Nov 29, 2009, awaking me from a deep sleep. The person on the other line identifed herself as an employee of the Saskatoon Police Force. I called back with the land coordinates to her grave. I sent details of the crime, other murders, assaults and the ongoing break-ins, vandalism and harassment I was experiencing myself, to the Colonsay RCMP detachment. I spoke with members of three separate departments. I was asked to discontinue calling. I sent letters to the Regina City Police Force, and two other RCMP detachments after that. My home was broken into, I was sexually assaulted and my birds were tortured as this was occurring. I was groggy the next day, and surprised to find that I had overslept, despite drinking three energy drinks with a late dinner. There was horse tranquilizers in the pasta sauce. I couldn’t find the parakeets. Two days later, I found them in the uninhabited tretrarium, in a black box that had been in there for a previous pet, a salamander.
I called the RCMP again, at this time, an officer arrived. He discouraged me from making a written statement, and then suggested that if I was determined to do so, that I should review it with my mother before sending it to the detachment. I should be noted that this woman is not my mother, but in fact a child abductor, something I had been made to forget. I sent the statement, and nothing further happened.
I decided that if no one would believe me, that I would have to go dig up the graves myself, for proof of the murders. Jeff Gusikoski relocated Cassie’s remains before I had that opportunity. I also had the location of Tamra Keepness’s remains, in the cellar where she had once lived. Tamra Keepness wasn’t her real name. She was abducted previous to her disappearance. Her abductor, who posed as her father, and Jeff Gusikoski are her murderers. There was police officer from regina that I trusted, and we went to find he together.
We first found the remnants of an unidentified adult, presumably female, we uncovered her arm and hand. The grave was very shallow. I vomited and cried for a few minutes, and forged ahead, to find Tamra. She was about three feet under, and this time, it was the officers turn to vomit. I was digging with my hands, sobbing all the while. There was people watching from a distance, and my memory once again becomes blurry for that time frame. I was sexually assaulted with a tire iron, by an officer and one Jason Young. I’m uncertain as to what happened to the officer that was with me. I was then abducted. The abduction previous to that was because of a paper that I wrote regarding United Nations Acts, and camps. I was tortured for the duration of my abductions, and then returned home. Brenda Huegle and others, changed the dates on the calenders and clocks, and told me it was a bad dream. I’m having difficulty recalling names, and all of my old notebooks have been stolen.
I don’t know where the remnants of the two persons are now, possibly in the same location.
Sincerely, Alicia.
No, not a zealot, a fuckng dsingenuous opportunist

I actually like hipsters. But what about teh hypocritical conforming non-conformist thing? What of it? You call it hypocritical, I call it ironic. Same with teh fake authenticity and authentic fakeness.
Without hipsters, where would I go for artisinal cheeses? Kensington Market is too hard to get to.
They don’t vote Republican. That’s a plus.
Are they stealing people’s thunder, by co-opting teh indie scene and thrift shops and making things yourself – while nevar having to actually have to do these things? What with their privileged upper class trust fund backgrounds. Who cares? Maybe they’re getting to the primo Sally Ann stuff before you and you’re resentful. Don’t worry, they’re hipsters – that exact same stuff will be back on teh thrift shop shelves within the month.
Sure a lot of them are judgemental sanctimonious bastards – but their judgement only carries scorn. And scorn from a hipster isn’t exactly withering. I mean, you never see hipster mobs rolling guys on teh street. No one is in fear of some sort of violent hipster retaliation.
And teh stuff they support with their dollar$? Local mom&pop shoppes, organic food, farmer’s markets, indie musicians and artists, street festivals. Okay, teh planking thing is fucktardedly dumb and I totes understand teh resentment about teh subway party – but I’d consider those a small price to pay (because I don’t live in New York) to get all of that hipster’s parent’s money into places like gourmet burger joints and that awesome band that can’t seem to get booked for venues that seat moar than six.

Here’s how it will go down:
I call it ironic
It’s not ironic if you’re trying to BE ironic. It’s pathetic now. The only ironic thing is the feigned apathy over the top of the carefully calculated ensemble of shitty clothes, ugly facial hair (and don’t even get me started on the men), glasses that they used to make me wear in the Army, and stunning levels of condescension.
I know a few hipsters, and I can’t hang around them because I get headaches from constantly rolling my eyes in utter disgust.

Then you are letting them win. Like every single other youth movement in the history of history, more than half the point is to confuse and irritate their elders. But if you care to, this is a fight you can win. Wear actual iron on glitter t-shirts from back in the day. The original ones, not ones designed to look retro for a new (probably larger) middle age physique. Drive around in an original custom conversion van from the 70s. Listen to the Bay City Rollers. Drink Stroh’s or Schlitz. Use your photo album from your youth to inspire you. You are armed with the experience of the actually tacky crapulence of the past. You can use it to destroy them. Use a brick sized analog cell phone from 1987. When their backs are turned, they make great blunt objects.
To be fair, I don’t run into to many hipsters out here in the ‘burbs. But I guess I just knee-jerkingly find hipsterism annoying because to me it’s just another clique. When I was in high school, I found pretty much every clique just beyond silly. Goth, skateboarders (though I crushed on a couple of them pretty hard), surfers, popular kids, blah blah blah…it was all so damn studied. I can’t fucking be bothered to win any popularity contests and I sure as shit am not gonna start trying to now.
I have been rocking these since 1986. Never went out of fashion.

Planking is lying on your stomach as flat and straight as you possibly can on any given object
Then go all velour shirt and corduroy pants on them. If necessary, wear a polyester leisure suit. We can co-opt their co-option faster than they can find nostalgia to co opt. With this economy there have to be thousands of unemployed marketing people hungry to turn their every ‘Transformers’ success story into a worthless Go-Bot ripoff. If we can ruin this party fast enough maybe the kids today will surprise us and do something original, like getting off my lawn for instance.

I feel the same way about anyone with tattoos. No offense intended to any tattood sadlies (‘sadlytats’?), but I find almost any tattoos to be ugly, especially after they’ve had a few years to fade, blur and morph into that hideous purplish-green blob that all tats become eventually.
The problem with tattoos as fashion, is, unlike every other goofy fashion trend of the last 50 years, ink is forever (unless you’re willing to go the pain and expense of having them removed). You can find pictures of me from high scool with elephant-leg jeans, a perm, waffle-stomper boots with candy-striped laces, rainbow suspenders and teardrop-shaped mirror sunglasses. But as soon as these fads passed, I could relinquish these fashions for a more updated look. (a members-only jacket with a popped collar, skinny jeans and a moussed mullet (Oh yeah!)
Don’t even get me started about more serious mutilations like the wierd Ubangi earlobe stretchers. I can’t wait to see these guys when they’re my age.

But then again, there was the ’80s, when I had calf-high moccasins and short shorts to go with my baseball T and pornstache. Somewhere I still have a picture of that outfit.
Hipsters are following a long line of cynical fashionistahood. Last time anyone was both fashionable and unironic was the ’60s, when even I was a kid.

I wonder if at some point full-on Victorian or Elizabethan fashions will start to become “in” again?
Steampunk?
yeah, Steampunk. Though that might be more Edwardian than Vicky. WTF do I know anyway.
Steampunk?
Neal Stephenson would Ahem you if he was aware you existed.
Also: the biggest reason I hate hipsters is because they’re impossibly skinny. Fuck them.
Yeah, but I meant “in” as in “see them all the time, like hipsters” not “in” as “These people exist only at a Maker Faire”
Skinny haters are asking to be pummeled by the TINY FISTS OF FURY.
I never see hipsters, so I guess I’ve been underwhelmed by their annoyingness.

My team is AL but I HATE the DH rule. It’s fucking stupid. It needs to go away.
I agree ! I’ve followed AL teams all my life as a fan. Another thing that must go: Interleague play. It distorts the divisional outcomes in both leagues. AL – NL should only meet in spring training, All-Star game and WS.
Like tsam, I am not an opinionated sports fan.
Totally agree with John Revolta: Killer thread in progress. I’m still catching up.
Mullet. I learned how to throw a cast net from a jon boat fishing for mullet in the Withlacoochee Bay, a shallow water area ribbed with long oyster mounds on the Nature Coast of Florida, between Cedar Key and Crystal River. The mullet is a dark meat fish with a strong taste. Kind of ugly too: small mouth, big scales, flat head, large eyes with red lines streaming out of the irises. It is much beloved by the local crackers, especially smoked. I never until now knew that there was a hairstyle named after this fish.
A. I have been rocking these since 1986. Never went out of fashion.
Can’t go out of fashion if they were never in.
B. In 1984, I had a buzz cut with a rat-tail. I got better.
C. Just had dinner Chez__B with Substance McG and B^4. ENVY ME.
Damn, I hope Bachmann gets the GOP nom. She’s gonna be a richer gaffe mine than Palin ever thought about being:

That’s my follow up to my previous post because I said “know what’s funny?” but then I didn’t respond to myself (why do people do that?) with something funny.
So I left this little zinger for ya. YOU’RE WELCOME.
Another thing that must go: Interleague play
I dont’ get all hyperactive about that, but it probably should go too. I do like seeing those AL pitchers get up and bat like the baseball players do, but yeah, it does fuck with records when they can’t all play each other.
It smells like dead thread
“Where do you live? ‘Cause I’m totally moving there.”
Inglis. Never actually lived there, just fished the estuaries for mullet, red drum, spotted sea trout, flounder….the Withlacoochee River empties into the Gulf of Mexico just beyond Inglis.
Inglis won some notoriety a few years ago:
In November 2001, Mayor Carolyn Risher issued a proclamation banning Satan from Inglis. The proclamation began:
“Satan, ruler of darkness, giver of evil, destroyer of what is good and just, is not now, nor ever again will be, a part of this town of Inglis.”
It ended:
“As the mayor of Inglis, duly elected by the citizens of this town, and appointed by God to this position of leadership, I proclaim victory over Satan, freedom for our citizens, and liberty to worship our Creator and Heavenly Father, the God of Israel. I take this action in accordance with the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as recorded in Matthew 28:18–20 and Mark 16:15-18.”

You probably wouldn’t fit in there, but it is a truly beautiful part of Florida.
Hipsterism is a Club Med trip to the bohemian avant-garde– a way to say you’ve “been there” without actually risking the comfortable and familiar.
IMO, the goal isn’t to scold ’em, it’s to use the outward trappings they’ve appropriated as a lever to make them curious about what’s outside of the fenced compound.

Just what’re you gettin’ at, boyo?
Sadly, I just want to live somewhere where they’ve never seen that haircut.
“Satan, ruler of darkness, giver of evil, destroyer of what is good and just, is not now, nor ever again will be, a part of this town of Inglis.”
Does Satan still cruise by the outskirts and toss an occasional beer can over the line?
“Sadly, I just want to live somewhere where they’ve never seen that haircut.”
Then you would probably be disappointed. Inglis is at least twenty to thirty years behind the rest of the world, so the Mullet haircut would be just now coming into its own.
Elvis made a movie there, Follow That Dream. Kooky, huh?
Well, that’s one more town I won’t be visiting.

Hey Sadlies: Should we get a new (old) boat? Think of the possibilities! You know how much booze we could store on this thing?
I hate to burst ebay’s bubble, but that’s not the Queen Mary Queen Mary.
Oh, well, forget it then.
I don’t care if it is the real Queen Mary.
It appears like a nice boat for excursions to mango-laden shores. It appears to have a promenade of some sort? Looks like reasonable cabin space (or easily convertable.)
I wonder what the afterdeck is like? Essential for my lounge chair and mint julep.
The new Sadlyboat would need a name, of course. Also a nifty figurehead of some sort.
I can tolerate a lot. But the fixies? And the PBR? No, no, no. Just no.
As a former bicycle racer, mechanic, and framebuilder, I have nothing but respect for people who actually ride *real* fixies. My first track bike frame was a custom job for one of my fellow mechanic/racers for use on the Major Taylor velodrome which had been recently constructed in Indianapolis. When the frame was finished and the bike was assembled I was obligated to take it out for its inaugural test ride. It was the first fixie I had ever ridden, and while I was aware of the concept and an extremely experienced cyclist, I nearly face-planted during the first mile when in my glee of success, I temporarily forgot what I was riding and decided to coast, going downhill at something north of 28 mph.
There is a highlight real of shit that I have managed to get away with, shit that should have involved grievous bodily harm, blunt force trauma, possible death. Last year I had the “pleasure” of finding myself in a position that required me to voluntarily lay the bike down at 43-45 mph rather than hit the guard rail and sail off into a tree filled ravine, where I would have almost certainly broken more than my thumb. The scar on my left hip and leg resembles a comet…What was…Oh right, hipsters.
Most in my neck of the woods do not ride fixies, because all single speed bike are not fixies, the two that do (out of hundreds, college town student population near 35 thou) have my respect, and IIRC, both have at least a front brake, which is how I rolled back in the day before most of these kids were born.
PBR (and Miller high life) in my opinion is the least disgusting of the not light mass market beverages that pretend to be beer. Thank the FSM that I have also had the pleasure of working in a micro brewery and developing a taste for the good stuff.
I will say, as one who violates purity laws whenever convenient, that if you add a third of Bells two hearted to a pitcher of PBR, you end up with a remarkably potable concoction.
Now I will admit that I am something of a hop head and others mileage may vary.
A thread that goes from the topic of poor white folk being strung up from imaginary lampposts, and morphs into a discussion of Hipsters is a thing of beauty in my opinion.
Carry on!

SO anywho,
I don’t get fixies either. But at teh same time, I don’t get motorcycles. Really, are they supposed to be THAT LOUD? I understand louder is better in the context of TEH METAL, but teh only thing that I want to be loud and between my legs is your mom.
Okay, maybe it is a bit rich to be using chacun son gout as a defense of hipsterism – a movement founded upon denigrating teh tastes of others. Still, teh hate-on for hipsters seems a bit out of proportion, IMO.
Maybe it’s an exposure thing – I’m also in Suburbaville, so it’s not like I’m assaulted by them constantly.
And like kingubu said – about learning what’s outside teh gated community walls. These kids grew up in Tract McMansion exurbia surrounded by monoculture. Monoculture is their comforting feeling of home. They don’t know different from conforming with their peers in every wai.
That they have traded SUV’s for transit and 5,000 sq. ft. of monster house for 500 sq. ft. of glass box on teh thirtieth floor and meat-potatoes-boiled veg for gluten-free tofu tagines made with local organic soy. That’s a big shift. And sure a lot of what they do, they do without understanding. Not just teh realities of making your own stuff because you can’t afford to buy new, but also teh history of the things they do, like the urban neighbourhoods they gentrify out of the price range of the locals. But they are expanding their views of the world. Albeit in a very narrow and blinkered way. It’s still bettar than what teh upper-class twits used to do.
They are wai moar environmentally and socially aware than the generations of uber-privilieged that came before. And even their condescending judgemental smug sense of superiority is an improvement over boarding school preppies or Jersey Shore wannabee party people.
Plus, there are positive externailities associated with hipsterism. Smaller carbon footprint, financial support for indie music and artists, fewer guaranteed votes for Republicans, perpetuation of bizarre and esoteric cultural artifacts that would otherwise go extinct. Sure, the associated consequences aren’t all good – e.g. see earlier comment about gentrification – but, IMO, I think net positive cultural contribution.
Well, that’s my feeling about hipsters. Then again, I also read spam flavoured copypasta and occassionally address it seriously, so I’m a bit deranged in that sense.
Reading through what I’ve wrote – I also want to apologize for teh tone. I don’t mean to say that no one should hate hipsters. Sweet IPU, they can be gratingly annoying at times! And certainly calling them out on the self-contradictory foundations of their lifestyle, the un-self-aware actual damage they inflict on others, the fact that they actually fit teh “no one likes them, they smell bad and their moms dress them funny” mold. And they’re teh ultra privileged, so they don’t really need to be defended. So, hipster mockery – all good. Just not my cup of sustainable rooibos-matcha chai.
I don’t hate hipsters. I’m simply not around them enough to feel that passionately about them and even if I were I couldn’t be bothered to expend the energy to hate them.
What I’ve seen of hipsterism–as I said upthread–reminds me of clique-ish behavior from my younger days…I wasn’t impressed with it then, and I continue to not be impressed with it.
My feelings about hipsters are the same as my feeling about any other arbitrary collection of people: if they don’t actively annoy me, I don’t care what they do. I don’t care how people I don’t know dress – I have an opinion, of course, but that’s not the same as caring. I don’t care what they do in semi-private places like clubs.
But… My post about subway parties is an example of douchebaggery in a public place that has a real purpose for the non-douchebags trapped in it with the douchebags. The fact that the douchebags in question are hipsters is beside the point.
I have no opinion about hipsters because I don’t know any and haven’t met any. (I’m not entirely sure I understand what they ARE, except by taking back-azimuths on the Sadlies’ comments.)
That said, I like DK-W’s approach. I tend to look for good in people, especially younger people.
With it or by it. WHAT-EVS! I’m so hip, I don’t care!
Mos def, N_B. There is no excuse for douchebaggery. Ever.
I look for good in young people, too. It’s the only way I’ll find out which parts are tender and good for BBQing.
I’m so hip, I’m dysplasia.
That joke is simultaneously horrible and awesome.

Agree in all respects. I’ve been cutting the generation that followed mine with an enormous bunch of slack given that they will actually be around when the shit hits the fan.
I still take a guilty pleasure in mocking douche-bags, faux-hawks, skinny jeans, and other fashion tragedies.
In my neck of the woods d-bags are much more likely to come from the New Jersey/New York kids, than the hipsters, though there are plenty hipster d-bags.
If I have developed or embraced, or become part of the get the fuck off of my lawn crowd, the transition involves the exposure of ass by males, who allow their pants to hang below their asses. Reminds me of a tale:
I was hanging outside of my current workspace (a corner store on bar row), last fall, having a smoke, and one of these cats rolls by, underwear clearly exposed, without hesitation I say “Nice ass”. Dude reels around to meet my firm and unblinking glare, while figuring out whether it is time to throw down…Meanwhile his buddy has doubled over laughing…After 30 seconds the buddy recovers and grabs his friend by the shoulder and they are on their way. The buddy btw was wearing his pants in what might be referred as the normal fashion.
My main problem with that particular “fashion statement” is that anything that prevents me from making a quick exit from a place of danger, or joining a soccer game…In other words, anything that inhibits my ability to run, or jump on a bike and make a speedy exit*, makes no sense whatsoever to me.
*I have a history of being a space case and running late. These days I am much better, however, previously my punctuality was found wanting, and served as the primary vehicle for getting kicked out of college, and shortly thereafter, my parents house.
.
If you want to show your ass in public, I really do not have any problem with that.
.
OMG! I did not mean to set off a chain of hipster apologia. Geez, they’re fuckin’ hipsters for IPU’s sake! If you can’t hate hipsters solely for their personal brand of group self-identification, what self-administered collective remains free game?

My feeling towards hipsters is pretty much the same as my feelings towards Goths, bikers and other self-identified groups.
They’re all a bunch of conformists. Everyone in the group looks the same, dresses the same. They might as well be wearing a uniform.
“I want to be different from everybody else, and I want to be with people that are just like me”.
On the sad, sad day S,N dissolves, we’ll all look at each other with tears in our eyes and say a collective “We’ll always have furries.” *sniff*
Get out of my fucking head, Major Kong. That is EXACTLY why I refused to be part of cliques when I was young. It just seemed…DUMB.
DKW;
I have to admit bias against hipsters in general because the last several encounters I’ve had with live hipster specimens were not pleasant experiences. I don’t have a problem with anyone’s tastes in beer/bicycles/clothing/music so long as they don’t act like they’re taking pity on me because I don’t share their enthusiasm for sucky shit.
I’m quite sure that there are all kinds of hipsters, and some of them are likely to be pretty cool people.
By sucky shit I mean PBR. Seriously, I can handle some shitty beer, but that stuff is fucking rank.

Oh fuck. I just pictured a bunch of hipsters lounging about in ironic police officer or UPS delivery guy outfits. Or at least the shirts. If it’s it not out there somewhere already…WATCH IT FUCKING HAPPEN.

Heh.
“I want to be different from everybody else, and I want to be with people that are just like me”.
I was a punker when I was in high school, and many of the other punkers had this same attitude. Me, I didn’t give a FUCK what people looked like as long as they weren’t the jocks driving by our show in their totally-not-compensating-for-anything bigass trucks and yelling “FAGGOTS” at us.
So yeah, I fell into that mentality of wanting to belong to a fashion show type group. I just didn’t make it a religion.
That is a youth trend that would actually be scary. Imagine if a large fraction say 30 or 40% of the youth today wore the exact same uniform right down to the haircut, belts and shoes, that would be very hard to ignore.

And sure a lot of what they do, they do without understanding.
As I used to say of yuppies: they’re people who have “good taste” but don’t know why.
On balance, hipsters are way less annoying than yuppies, no matter how many subway parties they have or how much PBR they drink.
Which brings me to a guilty confession: occasionally, meaning like once every 5 – 10 years, I will buy a six-pack of PBR and drink a few sips of one of them. I can’t help myself; when I was a wee toddler some of the men in the neighborhood drank the stuff when they sat around on warm evenings in lawn chairs, and would give me sips of it when I toddled up. I was literally weaned on that shit. It greatly amused my father and horrified my mother to see toddler me toddling more precariously than usual.
The difference between me and the hipsters is, I’ve been drinking PBR (occasionally) for going on 50 years, which goes back to the days before it was considered insufferably low-class, right through the low-class era and up to the hipster period now. For me, it’s heritage, not pose.
Gosh I love boats. The Queen Mary, real queen or not, looks just beautiful to me, even though if I were fortunate enough to live on such a fine vessel, I’d probably start acting and dressing like Thurston Howell when I ought to be thinking of myself as Gilligan. I’ve always wanted to live on a boat. I had a friend who lived on an old Elco, slipped in Miami. It had all mahogany interior, two big staterooms, a beautiful salon with an outsized wet bar, lots of brightwork on the exterior. Gorgeous boat. The owner was a New Yorker and had not visited the boat for ten years, so he wanted someone to live on it just to make sure it didn’t sink or get broken into. What a break my friend got.
When I read the story about the Libertarians creating their own island states, it occurred to me that they should just buy a super-tanker and convert it into a country. Seems like it would be cheaper plus it could be moved around and kept in international waters where no government could touch them. I haven’t looked into it, but I bet there are gazillionaires now living the High Seas High Life. Wasn’t Allen (sp?) with Apple living on a mega-yacht? Gosh, you could go fishing all the time if you lived on a yacht.
D-KW,
Those absurdly loud bikes are Harleys, not motorcycles. No, they do not need to be that loud for any reason having to do with motorcycling – in fact those straight pipes lead to burnt valves and other performance affecting disorders. For Harley riders it’s ALL about the image. Those of us who enjoy motorcycling look down our noses at the Harley riders with the same disdain as the rest of us here have for hipsters. a Harley bigwig is on record saying “we don’t sell motorcycles; what we sell is the ability for a middle aged accountant to ride into small towns and make people afraid.”
I look for good in young people, too
as do i…and there’s a lot of good ‘uns out there…my 21 yr old son, however who lives in mpls/st. paul (which has been named as one of the most hipster cities evar!) despises hipsters with every fiber of his being…i must show him dkw’s rant on the subway parties…and find out what the hell hipsters ever did to him to make him hate them so…i’m suspecting it’s the fakeness of it all…
They’re all a bunch of conformists. Everyone in the group looks the same, dresses the same. They might as well be wearing a uniform.
i was at a county fair this weekend, and for some reason, teh daughter and i were watching the 4-H animal showings…which are stinky and kind of awesome…but anyhoo, it must have been mandated for any and all 4-Hers to wear: plaid cowboy shirt (preferably with bling somewhere on it), levi’s silver jeans (or another variation with large embroidery on the back pockets) and for the gals a large blingy belt…it kind of made me laff that the nerdy 4-hers were setting their own fashion…

I do not trust myself with motorcycles, as I know I would be far to inclined to explore the limits of traction, as hitting the ground with something that weighs 20 lbs@50 mph versus 200 lbs@100mph or more would certainly lead to different outcomes.
I’ll join the harley haters! Nothing built for speed has to be that lound*.; and right on clue, one rolls by.
*unless it is an ambulance or firetruck, or careening around an F1 circuit.
.
It is relaxing. If you do it right, staying shiny side up takes up all your brain power for the duration of the ride. For me, that’s a nice change from having to think about a dozen things at once the rest of the time I am awake.

Hee hee hee. Teh Moran wasn’t reporting for duty because of his principled stand against Kenyan usurper Ba-lack Hussain X Marcus Garvey Obama – he was put on leave while they were processing his discharge.
Apparently d00d was all bent about DADT repeal and is afeared of catching Teh Gheys and wanted out of teh armed forces (but not his closet). Teh whole Birther thing is a play. Lulz.

Acquaintanced hot biker chick was going to Sturgis last year with her husband. Harley broke down in Waco; rented pick-up in Waco; drove to Sturgis and back to Waco in pick-up; put Harley in back of pick-up and returned to Austin to put Harley in the shop. I shit you not.
Perry corndog is even funnier than Bachmann corndog.

And if it is, very well done!

“He’s very emotional about how the country is doing.” I am sure that he weeped bitter tears for every one of the 235 executions that took place on his watch including the one that almost certainly took the life of an innocent man. Which “took some balls” according to one of his fans.
Hasn’t ruled out an effort that would almost ensure a second term for Obama. This guy is a genius how?

The day I heard that Bremer was shitcanning the entire Iraqi army and would have nothing to do with former baath party members, I, a lowly highschool graduate toiling over a thirty loaf batch of whole wheat bread in a bakery I was employed at at the time predicted exactly the course of what would follow.
“willing to shake” exactly what “things up” Donald? The financial system, health care, the safety net? As if two of the three aren’t under attack currently….Oh, right, a de-negrofication of the residence at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. That and re-naming the street to Pennsultucky.

I thought they wanted someone to have a beer with. PRO TIP: those should be different people.

Where do other places keep their tunnels?
I had one of those Kawasaki 3-cylinder 2-stroke bikes back in the day. You didn’t steer you pretty much just aimed it.
The powerband was something like:
1000 rpm – zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
2000 rpm – nothing
3000 rpm – nada
4000 rpm – zilch
5000 rpm – HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!
Note – if the bike wasn’t pointed straight when you hit the powerband things would get really ugly.
Hell, I didn’t even need hip waiders. nothing to see there.

Oooh, take a look at teh tough stand he’s taken, after negotiating himself out of being considered a deserter. They’re “coming for him soon” not because he’s AWOL but probs because it’s part of teh agreement he has with his superiors.
Sad thing is, the cat has probably secured himself some form of wingnut sinecure, of the Joe the Plumber (not really a plumber) grade with this stunt.

Oh mang, those bikes were fucking wicked. Wicked fast, wicked hard to ride. I wanted one so bad….

WASHINGTON (AP) — A spokesman for Republican House Speaker John Boehner (BAY’-nur) says President Barack Obama should just scrap the speech and hand over the plan.
My response: How about you dispense with the unsolicited advice and get your ass to work? I’m not in a big hurry to hear all your fucking idiotic rationalizations for why you hate America so badly you feel it’s your patriotic duty to prevent Americans from working while holding the economy hostage, and threatening to burn the whole place down.

Problem with that idea is that according to some sources on the internets, those tunnels are stuffed to the gills with dead bodies. So there prolly wouldn’t be room for his slacker ass.

Eh, they’d probably manage to screw that up too (like fastening the bottom button on their jackets). Kids today…

Those absurdly loud bikes are Harleys, not motorcycles.
After riding around with a bunch of Harley guys this summer, I’ve come to a conclusion:
Harleys are like assholes.
Nearly everybody has one and while they may serve some useful purpose, you don’t want to hang around one for very long.
That said, a couple of the guys I rode with rode the shit out of their bikes. Not all Harley riders are posers.
Cock-fiyeh.
Catching up…
On Bicycles: Fixes are awesome. On the track, where they are meant to be. On campus, with the 8-inch wide handlebar, lack of brakes, and the cord-showing-in-five-places-but-thankfully-properly-colormatched-rear-tire. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Singlespeed? Fine. Even make it look all euro or whateverthefuck by having every component on the bike the same color as the badly-rattlecanned frame, fine. But leave the the fucking freewheel and at least one brake, m’kay? At least then you’ll still be “fashionable” but you’ll be a bit less of a menace to the rest of us trying to enjoy a beautiful summer day riding around town. Don’t get me wrong — I love bikes. I have an awesome custom Electra three speed cruiser with coaster brake, an old vintage Klein mt. bike converted to “town/fitness” bike, and my kick-ass full suspension XC/all-mountain bike. I ride all the time. Fixies, other than track bikes — on the track — are just plain stupid.
Whew.
Motorcycles: Harleys, their knock-offs, and people that ride them are awful. Motorcycles on the other hand are awesome. I waited ’til I was almost forty to get my first street bike but rode dirt bikes for years. They’re both great fun. I get the “oh, but it’s so dangerous” thing — life is fucking dangerous, get over it.
PBR: Is just bad beer, sorry. Yeah, maybe it’s “the best” of all the other bad beers, but really, that’s enough? Life is too short to drink shitty beer.
I used like the occasional corndog. I will now never think about them in the same way.
I also hate mornings. And babies. And kittens.
And kittens.
Who hates kittens? They’re DELICIOUS!
Not all Harley riders are posers
everyone in my neck of the woods is…my dentist, who is the original mr. milquetoast has two…my pharmacist, insurance man and the various rich folks all have ’em…some of them even have a prayer group and if you are lucky, guess what? they’ll totally pray for you!!!
PBR may be shitty beer, but corndogs are just nasty. Even children know this.
One time I went up to my sister’s to help prepare for a garage sale…I walk in and see the remnants of their dinner, including a half-eaten corndog, and say to my 7 year old (at the time) niece, “oh, I see you had Whataburger for dinner. Who had the corndog?” “I did,” she says, “and it was nasty.”
Welfare State
Okay. I can deal with the hipsters since I rarely go downtown or to SE Hawthorne. But the food cart situation is getting out of control. Oh, right, PENIS.
I think you forgot your VPR notation…
That wasn’t exactly veiled.
.
Local restaurant makes awesome corndogs made with house-made sausage (sometimes from cute cuddly lambs!), really tasty breading and three different dipping sauces. They’re yummers. Thankfully they’re not as phallic as the republican ones, and I may actually still be able to eat them.
Problem with that idea is that according to some sources on the internets, those tunnels are stuffed to the gills with dead bodies. So there prolly wouldn’t be room for his slacker ass.

And this is the pivot on which we should merge with the latest Alicublog thread!

<i.PBR may be shitty beer, but corndogs are just nasty. Even children know this.
oh, i dunno about that…a corndog from some carny at the fair is always awesome…although at the mn state fair they are called ‘pronto pups’ and i know not why…how do you feel about corn puppies?
WTF?
Ballsaclava.
since I rarely go downtown
That’s not what I heard.
what is the frigging hold ‘sturgis’ has on people?!?!?
Outlaw chic?
The need to share ones outlaw and non conformist bonafides with an assload of other outlaws and non conformists?
Pretending to be an outlaw and non conformist for one week a year?
I think two of the above apply.
.
It wasn’t veiled in the slightest degree, but there are certain
standardsinternetSadlynaught traditions that must be maintained… [hmmph]What a fucking loser. Good on the USAF for getting rid of this assclown.
I have never had a corndog. Nor a PBR.

OBS, I agree entirely. And clearly they are much more prevent in your neck of the woods than in mine. And I have yet to catch someone in the wild here riding a real fixed gear without at least a front brake.
.
PBR: Is just bad beer, sorry. Yeah, maybe it’s “the best” of all the other bad beers, but really, that’s enough?
Yeah, in the “any port in a storm” way, but otherwise, I am in agreement with your thesis.
.
Don’t remind me. A friend of mine does that. It drives me insane whenever I see it.
Luckily it’s just a cheap straw trilby. I can’t imagine what seeing a good quality one get treated so shabbily would do to me.
That’s it, stick a fork in America’s ass and turn us over, we’re done.
“what is the frigging hold ‘sturgis’ has on people?!?!?”
Hell if I know. Flew to Rapid City a few years back. My take on the sights of South Dakota:
Mount Rushmore: Disappointing
Sturgis: Wha?
Deadwood: Kinda sorta interesting
Wounded Knee: Saddest place I have ever been
American beer rant: Pabst is no different than any mainstream American mass-produced fizzy-water; better than some and cheaper than most. If I want the flavor of a good beer, I’ll grab almost anything from Samuel Adams, or better yet, a local micro, like New Belgiom Brewing Co. (I liked them better before they sold out) or the Boulder Brewing Co. (You’ve probably never heard of them). But if I’m at a cookout, hot and thirsty, grab me a cold whatever-you’ve-got-in-the-cooler, and I won’t turn up my nose at it. PBR, Bud, Stroh’s, whatever; there’s not enough difference between them to have an opinion, let alone care.
That said, you can keep your Coors Light. I’d rather drink the melted ice from the bottom of the cooler you brought the hot dogs in. Talk about nasty! Their ads make me larf (in this case larf=laugh + barf). I mean, the only selling point you could come up with for your ads is that CL is somehow…colder…than other beers? Really? That’s all you got? Colder? Fuuuuuu
/beer rant
Now this is a Star Trek show I can get behind.

That is not exactly a corndog…Thats a breaded lambcicle with gourmet condiments…Not the same thing at all.

Thanks.

They’re everywhere here. I can see how they wouldn’t be as hated if you didn’t see them all the time.
I did see a “One less fixie” sticker on a cruiser bike the other day, so there’s hope.
Major Kong, I remember the Kawasaki you speak of. Rocket ship, really. A scary ride if you were used to sluggish Harley Sprints, Honda Scramblers, etc. I rode the famed K-350 once. It only took one ride to let me know I had mounted the machine that would kill me if I bought one. (Check out the price tag on the seat of this 350)
I loved those old two stroke street bikes. Had a basket case Yamaha RD400 that I sadly got rid of instead of building. I still have a two stroke dirt bike — there’s simply nothing like that powerband, or like a NEW THREAD!!!eleven!
I have never had a corndog. Nor a PBR.
Do not start, consider yourself fortunate. Though I am sure that evil of other sorts has passed your lips and made it through your alimentary canal, or filtered through your kidneys.
Last time I had a corn dog I was probably in my teens, and was disgusted. Now one of OBS’s Lambcicles with the gourmet condiments sounds really tasty.
I think I am gonna have to settle for the “not hobo” bean soup that I spent the last couple of days making. It is damn tasty.
.

Agreed, I would not touch that shit with DKW’s mom’s dick on a ten foot pole, I’ll ride out the hurricane with a mylar balloon thank you very much.
During my first year working at the Tour Dupont, we would hit up the vip section for a couple of cases of the stuff to drink when we got to the, erm, next hotel we were staying.
Halfway through the trip, me and my bud would hit up a liquor store on the way out of town.

you have summed it up correctly…and the most exciting thing about it’s northern neighbor ndak? you can watch your dog run away for three days…
I know, it’s terrible. I never forgave myself. I do at least still have the ’72 Honda CB500Four and mid-sixties CB160, if that helps at all…
