"The Hallway" ("The Corner" Parody)

Man, I've been wanting to do a Corner parody for-ev-er. Always was on the "things to do" pile, though; never made it to the "doing it now" pile.

Wuzza Dem beats me to the punch with his own parody.

BREAKFAST [Wuzz]
Had oatmeal this morning, used milk instead of water. Makes it a little more creamy, and, I suspect, more nutritional. Posted at 10:29 AM

RE: BREAKFAST [JFW]
Pop-Tarts for me - and don't you mean "nutritious?"

BAD MORNING [John]
Damn! I buy brand new pair of shoes with a deep, waffle-style sole, and the first time I walk out of the house with them on my feet, I step right into a huge pile of dog crap.
Posted at 10:35 AM

RE: BAD MORNING [JFW]
Hey, do you mind? We're talking about breakfast.
Posted at 10:37 AM

JUST GOT WORSE [John]
Well, turns out that *stepping* in the huge pile of dog crap wasn't the worst part. I ended up having to use my toothbrush to clean my shoe, probably have to buy a new toothbrush now.
Posted at 10:39 AM

RE: RE: BAD MORNING [John]
JFW, just read your post from 10:37 - actually this happened right *after* breakfast, so I was on topic.
Posted at 10:40 AM

RE: JUST GOT WORSE [Wuzz]
What do you mean *probably* have to buy a new toothbrush?
Posted at 10:42 AM

LAZY READERS [John]
Just got this e-mail from a reader:

What do you mean *probably* have to buy a new toothbrush?

Here's my response:

I suggest you re-read my post. If you do you'll see that I had just used that toothbrush for something pretty unsanitary.

Posted at 10:43 AM

RE: LAZY READERS [Wuzz]
John, I think he was questioning your use of the word "probably".
Posted at 10:46 AM

RE: RE: LAZY READERS [John]

Right. Sorry, my bad. Just sent this e-mail to him:

Sorry, my bad.

Posted at 10:48 AM

Good stuff. Read the whole thing.

Points subtracted for no mentions of Marmite, crunchy-cons, Star Trek, "immanentizing the Eschaton," or Cosmo the Wonder Dog.*

* Corrected: I said "immanualizing the Eschatology," whatever the hell that could mean (if anything). Thanks to my commenters for riding me hard like Vinny Falcone.

Ace,

Thanks for the link, and for the constructive criticism. Bill from InDC also dinged me for not having anyone refer to themselves in the third person.

Posted by: John from WuzzaDem on January 12, 2005 09:10 PM

That was nicely done. I especially liked the response to " Can you link to my blog?"

Though I must admit the Corner has gotten better about that as time goes on.

Dear Ace,


You're just a Manilla whore shaking your ass and waiting for the Republican fleet to come in, aren't you? You've even got the lip gloss about right. Maybe if you love sailor long time, he bring you home to big American house? I don't think so. Just like in Manilla, Honey, they'll pass you around 'til they've all shot their load in you, and then they'll try to scrub off the stench so they can sail off in their crisp, white uniforms to the land of W.A.S.P.

yours truly,
Atomic Amish

Hah... that's a good premise. I might publish some of my hate-mail, which deems me a sell-out to the white race.

Posted by: ace on January 12, 2005 10:09 PM

WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY?

I DON'T GET IT.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 12, 2005 11:11 PM

NO

Posted by: John from WuzzaDem on January 12, 2005 11:26 PM

John,

It really wasn't criticism, constructive or otherwise. It was 1, Joshing, and 2, how I would have done it, and 3, expressing my own annoyances at the sometimes too-cute banter in the corner.

You went in a different way, where you weren't parodizing the Corner per se, but having your own "corner" made up, it seems, of various incarnations of yourself. So it's just a different take.

Good stuff. No criticism intended at all. Keep it up.

Posted by: ace on January 12, 2005 11:29 PM

i liked it.

Posted by: amish on January 12, 2005 11:33 PM

Pretty good. Needed Cosmo, math problems, and baseball. I liked it, though.

Posted by: Blackjack on January 12, 2005 11:59 PM

This is supposed to be a parody of The Corner? Huh?

Posted by: CraigC on January 13, 2005 01:27 AM

Ace, if you're talking about "immanualizing the eschatology", as a theological/political issue, you probably mean "immanentizing the Eschaton".

And yes, I know I need to get out more.

Posted by: SparcVark on January 13, 2005 09:15 AM

Tim Cavanaugh at Reason did a parody of the Corner shortly after it came out. A bit more brutal.

Posted by: JohnL on January 13, 2005 10:28 AM

Needs some arcane math posts, and maybe a couch reference....it's well done, though

Posted by: johnnyh on January 13, 2005 11:04 AM

Ace,

I know you were kidding, so was I. No offense taken. You are correct, this is not really a parody of The Corner, so much as using that format for a piece. The "Corner Parody" was just a line I was using in my link-whoring efforts - always use descriptive (and, if necessary, deceptive) subject lines to grab the reader's attention! Thanks again.

Dave - I lied, the answer is yes.

CraigC - see above.

Kathy, Blackjack, Amish, and Johnny - Thanks!

Doug - I don't care if you think my site's a piece of crap...oh, sorry, that comment's for a different blog.

Posted by: John from WuzzaDem on January 13, 2005 12:20 PM

SparcVark is right, it is "immanentizing the Eschaton."

There's a lot of loose shit going on here.


Posted by: Alex on January 13, 2005 12:51 PM

very well done! the only think missing is that JFW needs to "SIGH" every other post in exasperation at the fact that those damn liberals are still running around uncaged and actually not supporting W. Also, needs to "god bless" people a lot a la Tiny Tim.

Posted by: on January 13, 2005 01:59 PM

Ace and John,

LOL!

I think "The Hallway" is hilarious!

RE: RE: LAZY READERS [John]

Right. Sorry, my bad. Just sent this e-mail to him:

Sorry, my bad.

Perfect.

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 13, 2005 04:16 PM

I thought "immanualizing the Eschatology" was, like, a joke. A deliberate malapropism. Well, you could always say "I meant to do that!"

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
