Okay, this is funny:

"Further avenues of research: How f'n' scary would it be to have a headless humanoid robot greeting kids at the doorstep on Halloween? Oh, man, the fun. Those li'l bastards would be in psychotherapy for years over that."

Good work. You get a cookie.

The thought of a remote controlled fly following a friend wherever he goes kind of makes me giggle.

Or lets say you had a flock of them that you could direct at certain people in a social setting. I would think seven flies buzzard-circling a girl you don't like would be F'n hysterical.

I'm not that excited about remote controlled flies but a remote controlled flying pet monkey would be way freakin cool. If this research being done at Yale moves us closer to this, then I'm all for it.

You know what I don't like about flying monkeys? Nothing. There's nothing I don't like about flying monkeys.

I see how laser-lobotomized remote-controlled flies are perfectly analgous to humans.

Of course! It all makes perfect sense now -- laser-guided headless flies fully explain my irresitable urge to snog down a double Whopper with cheese, bacon and extra mayo! Why didn't I think of this before?

That's it -- the thought of chasing my co-workers up and down the hallway with a flying feces-flinger secretly controlled by me at my keyboard has effectively shot all hope of productivity this morning.

I'm going to Burger King.

If this research had been completed sooner, an Ohio Stadium-full of lobotomized flies could have been laser-controlled to vote for Kerry. And John Kerry would be President today. Think about that for just one minute.

Only made it to twelve seconds.

"There's nothing I don't like about flying monkeys."

Easy for you to say. I bet Mr. lauraw has to clean the monkey droppings off of the car!

That lauraw is one funny bitch.

I want her. Damn, do I want her.

Car?? What do we need a car for?
We have flying monkeys.

She's too fast for you dear, you need someone your own age.

I would think seven flies buzzard-circling a girl you don't like would be F'n hysterical.

So that's why I can't get rid of these flies!

Get ready Tinkerbell, cause when I catch you in the co-restroom I'm gonna show you what they taught me in the Maximum Security Women;s Unit of Rahway State Prison.

Mama's Gonna SET YOU FREE!!!

[Come on... no Muslim jokes. Islamofascist jokes are one thing, but no racist jokes against Muslims generally.

I don't want to get branded a hate-site. And, besides that, I don't want to be a PC douche or anything, but I just don't think it's appropriate or tolerant

The possibilities of this technology are limitless. Can you imagine disgruntled Buffalo Bills fans controlling a swarm of flies in Scott Norwood's apartment? They could get the flies to repeatedly spell out "WIDE LEFT" on the wall, a la "Amityville Horror". This technology is going to take gaslighting people to a whole new level.

Let's put that threat in New Ace Speak;

Get ready NANOTECH Tinkerbell, cause when I catch you in the co-restroom NANOTECH I'm gonna show you PLEASE NOTICE ME GLENN what they taught me in the Maximum NANO-FRICKIN-LASER-BEAM-TECH Security Women;s Unit of Rahway State Prison.

Yeah, like I'm afraid of a 7- ft tall man wearing a sundress.
*yawn*

I love it when you talk dirty!

Meet me in the co-restroom in a nanosecond!

I'll bring the scalpel and retractors.

I don't want to be a PC douche or anything, ...

Then don't fucking be one!!! Man, what kind of country do we live in where we can't make MOSLIM jokes? This is how I got kicked off Freeper. Cheesh!

But OK ACE, its your blog and we do what the ACE says in The-House-That-ACE-Built.

PS - Your Logo still sucks!

You'll always have LGF, Virgins.

Re your objection to my Moslem joke yesterday, perhaps it was a little off color and I’ll be more careful. But we really should be able to lampoon anyone here.

After 911 a terrible mood of fear and panic took hold of this country. The MSM painted terrorists as a group of diabolical genius-fanatics who could not be stopped. The fierce way they were portrayed in the MSM encouraged disaffected people who felt powerless to wrap themselves into this identity to look tough and feel powerful. To these people (as exemplified by Ward Churchill) the unshakeable belief of the terrorists, the allure of danger and excitement, and the uncompromising brutality of Islam are a powerful narcotic. And it took a whole lot of success on the ground, encouragement and propaganda to turn that around.

The 72VIRGINS schtick is an attempt to buck up people through the use of laughter and ridicule at the expense of Islam to remind us that they are not 10 feet tall; but they are in it for the long haul and we must be prepared, always. Of course it is unfair to paint an entire group with a broad brush, but terrorists are not a bunch of Presbyterians from Idaho: without exception they are Moslems, every last one of them. There are times when this unfairness is outweighed by the urgent necessity of trying to maintain our morale. I doubt you’d object to the joke after the next 911.

I understand that you feel you have a lot to lose here, what with all that big-crazy-blog-money and all the blog bitches you’re getting into all. It’s your blog and I’ll try to be more sensitive in the future. But you should remember that if you start pulling punches like this, eventually someone else just as gifted as you will come along and the fill the niche you left behind. And they’ll take a lot of bloggers with them.
