Oliver Willis, You Are Now Officially My Bitch

WARNING: Utterly self-serving. You probably shouldn't bother reading any further. This is between me and Filet-O-Fish.


I just got the certification from the state Department of Corrections. According to this document duly executed by Governor Pataki, I am now entitled to punk you out for Marlboro Reds, "Odub," if I should so choose.

And, of course, I will so choose.

I want to thank all the bloggers linking me, and all the readers coming here to put up with my abject stupidty and desperate longing for attention. Although I started blogging to start getting some of that crazy blog-money I'd heard about (by the way-- many thanks!), and to find some way of getting a screenplay sold, the main, proximate impetus for beginning this blog was reading Oliver Willis.

I could not believe this talentless, thoughtless hack was not only getting traffic, but the occasional mention from newspapers. True, the mentions tended to be from college papers and the various free presses that no one reads, but still.

"How can this idiot be getting read, while I'm just sitting here trolling for porn?" I thought to myself. "If that idiot is getting so much unwarranted attention, can't I get some unwarranted attention, too?"

The guy just isn't funny. And I mean that. There are some guys who you don't laugh at but you're not ready to say they're not funny-- they just have a different sense of humor. They're too dry, too "witty," too whatever. You would just say, "Okay, I don't find him funny, but tastes vary."

But Willis actually has a similar sense of humor to mine-- third-grade-to-middle-school playground taunting and rank-outs, plus a lot of stupid pop culture references.

It's just that he's... not good at it. So I'm pretty confident when I declare that he is, in fact, not-funny, and always has been not-funny.

Anyway, it took a lot longer than I expected, but I've finally beat him in both important categories simultaneously:

Ahead in links (in Playful Primates).

Ahead in traffic.

So, "Odub," still worried that by linking this tiny little blog you'll give me some of your scary-big traffic?

You should know I've got big plans for you, Ollie. I think I'm going to keep you as my main bitch, rather than just punking you out for speed.

I will make you the top ass-clown in the Travelling Ace of Spades Psycho-Sexual Circus, and you will be forced to perform unspeakable acts on monkeys, elephants, and maybe some pumas, if I can find some pumas.

They're hard to find, pumas are. Try looking. See? No pumas. We live in a virutally puma-free environment, sadly enough.

And then I will grab your skinny, weak, mantis-like arms and force you to slap yourself in the face, all the while saying "Why are you hitting yourself, Ollie? Stop hitting yourself! Please, for the love of everything holy, stop slapping yourself!"

Okay. Now for the big game: Marshall and Sullivan.

Trickier. Much trickier. I actually should probably set my sites lower, but I don't know any idiots that are about halfway between Willis and those two retards.

Thanks again to all the bloggers and readers who have helped make this dream of mine come true.

Yeah, I know. It's not really much of a dream. It's pretty pathetic, when you think about it. One could make the case that I'm the douchebag for deciding that beating the likes of Oliver Willis would be my bar for success.

Still-- thanks. It's nice to have even an embarassing, retarded dream come true now and again.

Ironic Acknowledgment: Based on the number of new blogs linking me, I can only deduce that a good sized number of people have the same reaction to me-- "Hey, this guy Ace is obviously a moron, and a porn-obsessed dork besides; ergo, I can easily beat him at his own retarded game."

You're probably right. I don't take it as an insult, though. I think that's how people motivate themselves-- you always need some untalented dumb-ass you can do a better job than to motivate you to try.

OTOH, with me and Filet-O-Fish, it really is meant as an insult. You might think I'm a moron, but you probably have a grudging respect for what I've accomplished with my dimwitted immaturity. I just don't respect Ollie at all.

Pandagon?

anyway, congrats, Ace; who'd have thunk an off-color D&D conservative politics Kim Richards fanboy site could challenge the serene majesty of O-Dub?

Well, you're about to pass the Moon God, so there's that.

Posted by: someone on November 1, 2004 05:17 AM

And to think -- you never even got a single check from George Soros.

Posted by: TallDave on November 1, 2004 01:42 PM

Alas, that is one category where I remain desperately behind.

Thanks, See-dub and "someone."

Posted by: ace on November 1, 2004 01:46 PM

MMmm... that's some good tartar sauce!

Posted by: Xoxotl on November 1, 2004 01:51 PM

Willis not funny? I'm still laughing at that post "Gee, I found two other guys in the phone book named George Bush, who appear to be married to somebody other than Laura" That was some crazy writing!!!

Posted by: Master of None on November 1, 2004 02:05 PM

One down, two to go!

You'll do it Ace, you and your cowbell. You'll beat 'em, like a viking.

Posted by: Rob on November 1, 2004 02:08 PM

***Okay. Now for the big game: Marshall and Sullivan.

Trickier. Much trickier. I actually should probably set my sites lower***

Lower than Sullivan? What... you're going after PLANARIAN WORMS, now...? :)

Congratulations, dude. Seriously. You *deserve* the success.

Posted by: Kent on November 1, 2004 02:13 PM

I object most rigorously to your characterization of OW, or even a part of it, as skinny. Otherwise, endless cowbell.

Posted by: Uncle Mikey on November 1, 2004 02:30 PM

Congrats! It was really only a matter of time.

Posted by: Scout on November 1, 2004 02:33 PM

It was Anka and Johnny Coldcuts that put yopu over the top. :)

But seriously, congrats!

By the way...if tyou are looking for middle ground between O-Chub and Marshall/Sullivan, how about "Wonkette!!!!!". Surely you know as many ass jokes as she does.

Posted by: Senator PhilABuster on November 1, 2004 02:55 PM

Heh.

Posted by: fat kid on November 1, 2004 03:04 PM

He's already bitch slapped Wonkette (is there any other way to slap her)

[url]http://ace.mu.nu/archives/030008.php[/url]

Posted by: Master of None on November 1, 2004 03:09 PM

I'm so happy for you!

Now, please set your sights on Wonkette, as suggested earlier. I hate the idea that she's the MSM's idea of a blogger, and (worse), representative of a female blogger.

Please? Pretty please?

Posted by: Dianna on November 1, 2004 03:17 PM

Given my own utter lack of maturity and disgust for Willis' mix of democratic shiling and character assasination (trolling there was too lugubrious even for me), I feel this is a victory for all those like us. (how's that for vicarious virtual living?)

Keep up the foul mothed invective and humor, Ace. Someone from our side needs to. Plus, you're really quite good at it. You're like Ann Coulter without the dress, or looks, and with a loose formation of fighter jets in your pants.

Posted by: hobgoblin on November 1, 2004 03:18 PM

Ace, that entire post was gob-smackingly vile.

Posted by: Josh Martin on November 1, 2004 03:32 PM

Go Ace, it's your birthday!!

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford on November 1, 2004 04:11 PM

Ace--

I'd congratulate you, but it's sort of like drowning a puppy-- keep at it, and eventually it'll happen.

That said, big on you.

As for whether such a competitive obsession is healthy, don't sweat it. Some bloggers sign up to vanquish their foes. Others sign up just to show us pictures of their stupid cats.

And then there are people like me-- inspired by you, but not out to compete with you.

Until, of course, you cross us. Then it's like Cypress Hill:

"People see bloggers, you know what I'm sayin'?
But you still try to get out more like everybody else,
you know, its a fun job, but its still a job.
There's gonna be another cat comin' out,
looking like me, sounding like me next year.
I know this.
It'll be a flipside. . . someone
trying to spin off like some series."

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on November 1, 2004 04:34 PM

Ace, you slice like a fucking hammer, dude.

Posted by: Margi on November 1, 2004 05:17 PM

Like the prison references.

Posted by: Joshua Chamberlain on November 1, 2004 05:20 PM

Hmm...this O-Dub guy must be pretty famous. Does the Puppy Blender know about this?

Posted by: cowboy blob on November 1, 2004 05:22 PM

Nice post, Ace. I'm sure O-Chub will mention Britney Spears in his scary comeback.

Posted by: sonofnixon on November 1, 2004 06:33 PM

Hi ACE, a no-shitter. I wrote a note to Kim Richards at her Site and said you were a huge fan and put your blog address in the email. Saying if she wrote Aceofspades, you would go up in a puff of happy smoke.

I guess that might mean no beaver shot posted.....in case she is poised to write and then sees a furry 1984 vintage muff pic of her posted here.

Dang, I didn't think about that repercussion! Sorry!

But please no pics of an oil-slicked naked Oliver Willis lolling by the McDonalds deep-fat fryer as compensation.

Posted by: Cedarford on November 1, 2004 06:54 PM

Kim Richards posted in the comments on the post immediately above this one.

Posted by: See-Dubya on November 1, 2004 07:10 PM

If no one reads Filet-o-Fish's response to his bitchitude, does it really exist?

Posted by: Iblis on November 1, 2004 07:16 PM

Damn!

I just love a man with the can-do attitude!

Posted by: jmflynny on November 1, 2004 07:37 PM

Thanks, everyone.

Cedarford,

Did Kim Richards actually say she'd post here?

I'm having trouble comprehending that.

Posted by: ace on November 1, 2004 08:16 PM

Ace,
I'm afraid there wouldn't be much fun in setting your sights on Sullivan. Did you see how Glenn coolly bitch-slapped him with his own words today? That will leave a mark.
JPOK

Posted by: jpok on November 1, 2004 09:58 PM

I'm glad he got to you. I have recently started reading your blog and enjoy your rants a lot.

Just be easy on him. Tomorrow will undoubtedly test his resolve as a man.

Posted by: Bruce on November 1, 2004 11:26 PM

Don't know if you noticed, but it seem that most of O-Dub's links are from right leaning blogs that only link to him in order to bitch slap him.

I guees I will have to consult with you, Ace, before bitch slapping him on my crappy blog.

Posted by: Qur'an Pundit on November 1, 2004 11:47 PM

heh. Is true. Oliver tries his best, but his deep unintelligence shines through his every effort.

Posted by: dhart on November 2, 2004 12:28 AM

I'm thinking Ollie might autograph that "comfort sheep" you had up on your site a while back...

Posted by: OCBill on November 2, 2004 01:27 AM

I'm so lame. The picture of Ollie's friend was actually at another site. I'll go slash my wrist now (after I've filled out my absentee ballot for Bush).

Posted by: OCBIll on November 2, 2004 01:33 AM

ACE - I noticed a tribute Site where the Webmaster forwards email to her. I told her you were a big fan, posted your web address in the email, and said you'd go up in a puff of happy smoke if she stopped by and said "Howdy". The ball's in her court.

But sometimes you get lucky. I am not a big fan dude, but I wrote a couple of emails to some 60's singers I saw at a local show and got replies. And I got emails back from a couple of the actors who played on Lexx when I became a TiVo devotee - including "Bunny", "Gigolotta", "Fifi". Bunny was played by Pat Zentilli, a hotty! She loved doing Lexx and shooting in Thailand for one part of a season.

I think your chances of a response are inversely proportional to how busy the actor is, and the fan mail they get. Kim Richards is not too busy with show biz stuff, since she is raising a family. Then again, Patty Z wrote and she is busy in Canadian TV and drama, and one of the 60's singers that responded from the local show was a member of the Doors.

Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044.
Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...?
You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not.
Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh?
Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point.
One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews.
Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?

Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.)
I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.
