Archaeology-Fisking

Anyone can "fisk" an annoying biased article written by a diehard leftist.

But what about fisking a perfectly-unobjectionable story about an utterly-benign archeological find?

This is a blog first, people. I'm a real innovator.

F'n yawn:

Tehran, July 6, 2005, (CHN) -- All historians and experts in Iran, believe that the Persian Cuneiform was invented during Darius reign.

Oh, eat me.

It is widely believed that the invention of this script was due to the order of Darius the great, the third king in line from the beginning of the Dynasty. Most of Achaemenid historical texts support the same hypothesis as well but just recently, Dr. Badr-ol-zaman Gharib, delivering her speech, titled Emergence and Changes in Ancient Persian Script in a forum on Achaemanid tablets, claimed that the Persian cuneiform predates Darius.

Dr. Ghraib, huh? Sounds like a nasty little whore to me.

She said, “I believe that this script predates Darius and improved in his reign. Persian cuneiform consists of 36 signs for three vowels and syllables which are consisted of a single consonant and a vowel, 8 ideograms for 4 concepts regarding king, land, country, and Ahoora Mazda (the great god of ancient Persians), 1 divider (a diagonal wedged-shape sign to separate words), and 22 figures for numbers. All of these items and especially the divider and the construction of syllable script prove that this script was much more ancient.”

Fuck you, you saucy trollop.

Whoooooooooore.

She also indicated...

Indicate this.

...“On the other hand, the ancient Persian cuneiform led to decoding other cuneiforms namely Elamite and Assyrian ones, therefore is especially important."

Important to you, maybe, Dr. Ghraib. Or should I say-- Dr. Strumpetstockings.

"This script because of the word separator and having fewer alphabets was deciphered earlier than the other scripts and as it was frequently inscribed along with the same text in three other languages and therefore scripts, it helped decoding other cuneiforms as well.”

Blow me. And then pull my finger. Stupid whore bitch.

Archaeology and linguistics contributed a lot to the decipherment of this script. When archaeologists proved that the inscriptions belong to Achaemenid era, linguists took Avestan and Sanskrit grammar for a model to decipher the code and actually they were not wrong as these languages are really similar linguistically.

Like they say: You don't pay whores for sex. You pay them to shut up and leave.

Leave, you dirty bit of rancid gutter-meat.

She concluded that, “If it wasn’t for the word separator, its decoding would be impossible.”

You know what else is impossible? Hating you any more than I do right now. You smart-ass little lab-coated crunge-monkey.

....

Hmmmm... I don't know. I don't know if that was technically "fisking" or just calling someone a "whore" repeatedly.

Eh. Close enough.

Holy hieroglyphics, host! And you got on my ass about c**ter fumes.

Fisking... whore-calling....

.... Nuance.

Made me laugh.

I owned a Mazda once, and it was a nice little car, but I didn't worship it as a deity.

Proves how stupid the Persians were.

Someone has been reading David Ehrenstein again.

See, for example...

http://fablog.ehrensteinland.com/archives/000062.shtml#000062

Substitute "liar" for "whore" and voila! Only Ehrenstein is serious.

Posted by: Nicholas Kronos on July 8, 2005 12:13 PM

Don't know what's worse-- that I read that, or that I laughed at it.

Random humor is always the best, because no one expects it.

Cheers,

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on July 8, 2005 12:30 PM

Dr. Ghraib. She sounds like a real asshole. I believe she was intentionally provoking you Ace.

Posted by: Me on July 8, 2005 12:31 PM

Oh, the Persian cuneiform predates Darius, does it? Bitch.

They say things like that to get us all worked up, and then it's all wide-eyed innocence, like "What'd I say?" Oh, you know what you said, bitch.

Posted by: lyle on July 8, 2005 12:39 PM

Lyle, you left out:

“If it wasn’t for the word separator, its decoding would be impossible.”

Obscenity. Where the F*** are the Iranian censors on this one? I thought they had rules about women not talking over there.

Posted by: lauraw on July 8, 2005 12:54 PM

Nice to finally see an Archaelogist get what they've had coming. They've been acting like their shit don't stink since Raiders and I, for one, was sick of it.

For your next take down, I suggest patio furniture. Bout time someone ended that free ride.

Posted by: fat kid on July 8, 2005 01:22 PM

Ecellent point Ray, and I'd like to add that if I have to hear Dr. Cornelius characterized as 'the GOOD ape,' one more friggin time, I'm gonna have an aneurism.

Posted by: lauraw on July 8, 2005 01:24 PM

No. . . . .no, I will not link to that from ArchaeoBlog. . . . .

But I may steal the idea.

God, that was funny. Makes me glad I check in at least five times a day. *more smooches*

...“On the other hand, the ancient Persian cuneiform led to decoding other cuneiforms namely Elamite and Assyrian ones, therefore is especially important."

Goodness gracious that slut just can't keep her legs together!

Thanks for exposing this scandal, Ace. As always, you are a beacon of light in a dark world.

Posted by: Michael on July 8, 2005 01:44 PM

She concluded that, “If it wasn’t for the word separator, its decoding would be impossible.”

What is it about these wimmin archaeologists and their goddam word separators? They never shut up about em.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on July 8, 2005 01:50 PM

And you misspelled her name purposely. Double-slamming fisk with a side of disrespect!

You rule, Ace. Don't forget to flog that horsey slut after she dies of shame.

Posted by: Joan of Argghh on July 8, 2005 01:58 PM

No. . . . .no, I will not link to that from ArchaeoBlog. . . . .

Come on. You stupid twat archaeologist whores need to loosen up a bit.

Posted by: ace on July 8, 2005 02:08 PM

When an article or posting is beyond ridiculous to respond with a fisking, I think the proper response now would be to give it an Acing. Unfortunately my position now is 99% of leftist tripe falls under that category.

Ad Hominem is flying, Hallelujah!

Posted by: Dman on July 8, 2005 02:10 PM

Good Ape? Cornelius? Don't make me laugh.

One thing that always bugged me with him was the Dr. honorific. For an Archaelogist? HA! Who's he kidding. If I was Heston, I'd be calling him "Cornelius" all the time, like "Hey, Cornelius, hand me that jug" and so on.

Then when he finally muttered something like "You know, technically, it's Doctor Cornelius," I'd zing him with, "Monkey, please. What was your thesis on? Ancient poop flingin sites? Maybe that Dr. thing fools the matre'd's, but you ain't fooling me. Now gimme that jug, Cornelius." That would shut him up, but good.

[Frankly, the whole graduate degree system in monkey world seems suspect in it's rigor. Everyone was a Dr.]

Posted by: on July 8, 2005 02:22 PM

Ace, you bitch.

First you set us up by moaning about your lost mo-jo, then you slam us with the Bond thing.

Then, just when we think we've got it back together, here comes this.

Damn you. Damn you, to hell!

(Slumps to his knees, bows his head and pounds his fist into the sand, while the cheesecake babe looks on, without a fragment of a clue.)

Posted by: Dogstar on July 8, 2005 02:33 PM

give it an Acing

That really sounds dirty.

Posted by: on July 8, 2005 02:55 PM

Thanks - I needed a larf today. That was excellent fisting.... er.... fisking.

Posted by: Preston Taylor Holmes on July 8, 2005 03:16 PM

This article proves a theme that Ace himself has hinted at: this blog has indeed jumped the shark, and is about to go the way of Fonzie.

Anyone who's read the book of Daniel knows that King Darius was in important figure in Medopersian history.

And unlike many other of Ace's posts, this wasn't even funny.

Posted by: Steve Bragg on July 8, 2005 05:12 PM

you dirty bit of rancid gutter-meat.

You know what else is impossible? Hating you any more than I do right now. You smart-ass little lab-coated crunge-monkey.

ACE, you've outdone youself! Lutefisk and all.

Dr. Strumpetstockings???

I'm sure you have a standard pat answer you've dreamed up for just such occasions for your fawning public (and now you'll actually have your very first chance to use it) but:

Where do you get this shit from?

Posted by: WRETCHED REFUSE on July 8, 2005 05:37 PM

You ignorant sluts!

How dare you ridicule the life's work of Dr. Badr-ol-zaman Gharib.

Don't you know she is studying the roots of the language of cuneilingus?

-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
