Cool pic! How’d you get ‘hold of his modeling portfolio?

The hardhat one was from a Marlboro ad, I think. Or maybe New England Power and Light? Or maybe the time he auditioned to replace one of the Village People? I forget.

So, was Gulag – a History by any chance ghostwritten by a sane person?

I was offended by all the offensive comments by cuntfaces who were offended by Brendan’s use of the word “cuntface”.

Can they really be unaware that to the cuntfaces across the pond words like “fag” and “cuntface” spring from a different cultural milieu? Have those cuntfaces never seen Trainspotting?

Feggin’ cuntfaces.

Hey thanks for the visit guys!

Honestly, I’m not all that worried about the wingnut-o-sphere. The brunt of what I write isn’t politics, and if the Dingaling Brigade wants to wade through reams of “For Better or For Worse” deconstructions and recaptioned “Family Circus”es, well that’s their perogative.

I just wish I could get rid of the troll I have now, who’s just a fuckin’ idiot.

Brendan,

I get a lot of trolls, mostly for opinions I post at my various geek sites on just how horribly horribly horrible most Modern Age comics are. I’ve discovered the best way to fight them is to moderate comments, and to ruthlessly refuse to publish anything by such idiots.

Like all of us, they live for attention; if they waste a lot of time typing something into a window and it never appears or is acknowledged in any way, they’ll lose interest and go piss in someone else’s well.

It’s always tempting, of course, to print their idiotic comments and do a whole entry burning them to the waterline, and this can work — it is especially frustrating for them when you do not let their responses be published, or acknowledge them in any way… but in general, I advocate complete starvation. When you do not feed the trolls, the trolls wander away.

That’s just my advise, but, as I say, I am a long time veteran of the Troll Wars. Take it for whatever it’s worth to you.

Ooops. I mean, ‘that’s just my advice‘.

Sometimes I can spell. Other times, not so much.

My God. Six comments in and he still hasn’t showed up. That must be some kind of record.

How many Trevino invocations does it usually take?

I think the caption for the Trevino pic is: “Spelunking in Cheney’s colon is work… hard work!”

Tacitus, tacitus, tacitus! There’s your invocation.

I feel for Brendan; he now has a genocidal maniac trolling Google for his private bits. If only that stalker hadn’t staked out Monica Seles first, who knows how the world would be different?

cut him some slack, guys. bad habits are hard to break: once you get to stalking all those women who mock you day after day in their little skirts and their high heels, so tall in their heels, and they never look at you and they never pay you any mind like they’re so special like they’re better than you…well, it’s just a hop and a skip to stalking smarty-pants bloggers, with their bad language and expansive post-modern education.

Retardo! You’re alive!

I still think the simple solution to the offense some take at the word cunt is to switch to the word twunt. Cuntface may be rude and abrasive to some, but Twuntie McMeatcurtains is fun for the whole family.

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT ANNE

I have a general policy of avoiding things written by people whose names start with “AN…”

Anne Coulter
Ann Althouse
Anne Applebaum
Ann-drew Sullivan
Ann-drew Bolt
Ann-drew Landeryou
Ann Bart*w
AnnieAngle

Exceptions:
Annie Laurie
Anntichrist S. Coulter
(You will notice that the two exceptions are both pseudonyms.)

I recommend instituting Ann(e)-‘n’-Andy Profiling on a worldwide scale. I am not a nut.

“My God. Six comments in and he still hasn’t showed up. That must be some kind of record”

He hasn’t turned up because he’s horribly embarrassed at his pathetic investigative skills. searching for “Retardo Montalban Real Name”? Jesus, thats spasticated. No wonder he’s hiding. It’s a bit of a letdown to find out all this cloak and dagger superspy bollocks boils down to a google search. It reminded me that the people he’s previously outed (billmon and spartikus) had accidentally given away the relevant information themselves. He made a big deal laughing about their supposed stupidity, but it implies that like patterico he has no idea how to trace someone who hasn’t effectively told you who they are already.

Maybe i shouldn’t knock it. I just typed “Joshua Trevino Real Name” into google and within minutes I discovered all sorts of personal details about him.

[…] Jeff Goldstein, Jeff Goldstein, Jeff Goldstein is trying his best to make me famous. I’m touched: Rather than send ‘Pablo’ and ‘Vercingetorix’ to beat me with axe-handles or threaten my toddler or ’show me where Jimmy Hoffa is buried,’ instead he sent them on a frantic net search so thorough that it gives child-abducting, serial-killing stalkers (or Tacitus, for that matter) a bad name. And geez, just because I googled ‘cock’ and its synonyms with ‘Jeff Goldstein!’ […]
