Ace of Spades HQ, Now With 25% Less Ace Content

So, yeah, some suggested I ask a couple of folks to step in and provide some blogging, when I'm either busy prepping the show or, more likely, painting my extensive army of 25mm fantasy miniatures.

I've asked a few of the people whose tips I post the most frequently on the theory that, hey, if I'm posting 90% of what they send me, I can risk that 10% of non-Ace-approved stuff slipping through.

And I'm pretty sure they won't link to shock sites like Fat Kid would.

Anyway, LauraW. and Tanker will now be posting news items here, and maybe even their observations or riffs, as they see fit. Or until I see fit. Can't let the, ahem, quality of this site fall off too badly.

They'll be the Bones and Spock to my Kirk, the Doc and Gopher to my Stuebing.

As long as they remember there's only one important one on that stage, everything should be copacetic.

Anyway, I hope you welcome them kindly. They've provided an awful lot of the stories I've posted here, so they've already been doing a lot of stuff to make the site interesting and fun, but now they'll be doing it with one less level of painstaking editorial fact-checking and oversight.

Couple of questions you might have:

1) Q: Ace didn't ask me. Does that mean he thinks I'm a retard?

A: Yes. Yes it does.

2) Q: Is Ace retiring or taking off?

A: No, not really. I just think that everyone would probably appreciate just more stories and more content here, and more discussion threads where you morons can completely ignore the story posted and just talk about whatever stupid moroncrap your stupid moronbrains find "interesting."

3) Q: Is this a shameless sham of a self-serving quest to create a Daily Kos-like cult of personality, farming out actual blogging to legions of drooling mindthralls and then reaping some truly crazy blog-money off the efforts of others?

A: Mind your own business. What are you, a cop or something?

Anyway, hope you like LauraW's and Tanker's posts. You've liked them in the past, so I guess you'll probably like the new stuff, too.

Thanks for thinking about us.

Please keep up your level of postings though, I would miss you. Also please have a way at the beginning of the posts to let us know who is posting.

Thanks,
David

I'm horribly crushed that you didn't ask me. Not really, but I figured you could use a random whinge here.

Posted by: Da Goddess on August 11, 2005 04:31 AM

"copacetic"?

Maybe if you spent less time looking up SAT study words you'd have more time to post.

Posted by: Allen on August 11, 2005 04:58 AM

"you morons can completely ignore the story posted and just talk about whatever stupid moroncrap your stupid moronbrains find 'interesting'"

...hey!

:(

Posted by: Megan on August 11, 2005 05:10 AM

I don't think I'm comfortable reading a blog written by a woman. I mean, what if she starts ovulating right in the middle of a post?

Posted by: Andrew on August 11, 2005 06:23 AM

Oh, Andrew, grow up. It's the twenty-something century. These days, everyone recognizes a woman's right to flop her lady things around in public pretty much right out in front of everybody.

Posted by: S. Weasel on August 11, 2005 06:29 AM

Bitch.

Posted by: Megan on August 11, 2005 06:29 AM

...that applies to both Andrew and SW, though it was originally intended for only the former.

Posted by: Megan on August 11, 2005 06:30 AM

Come on, people, let's pull together here. There's a war on, you know.

So does this new multi-blogger pyramid scheme invalidate my fine Ace-HQ t-shirt? Will you finally break your silence on who killed JFK?

Posted by: Scott on August 11, 2005 07:25 AM

Which LauraW - the downtown version or the white chick?

For that matter - which Tanker? The former gay-porn producer cum (so to speak) blog-stalker or the other one?

Posted by: BumperStickerist on August 11, 2005 07:49 AM

No one understands that extra level of Ace-filter as well as I. If it were up to me, that "My Date With Ann Coulter" piece would have been front-and-center here.

In retrospect, the right decision was made, but Ace is still a pussy.

In other news, it looks like all my "Great job, Laura!" and "I agree with Laura" sucking up is finally going to pay off. It's about time, too, since it was getting a little weird and stalker-like, even for me, a notorious window peeper.

Posted by: spongeworthy on August 11, 2005 08:39 AM

Congratulations to Laura and Tanker!!

Although if you really wanted to drive up traffic and increase the humor of the blog, Ace, you should have given posting access to Cedarford.

I don't know much coding it would take, but I'm sure there's some way to automatically preface his entries with, maybe, a picture of Pat Buchanan with a Nazi uniform on. You could pretend he was a character, like Johnny Coldcuts.

Posted by: Sue Dohnim on August 11, 2005 08:39 AM

So should I stop sending the stories I find, like the one where the guy visits a ranch to have sex with a horse, only he dies from internal injuries because he's actually on the receiving end of the deal, and start e-mailing them to Ldub and this Stanker guy instead?

Posted by: compos mentis on August 11, 2005 08:58 AM

No, not really. I just think that everyone would probably appreciate just more stories and more content here, and more discussion threads where you morons can completely ignore the story posted and just talk about whatever stupid moroncrap your stupid moronbrains find "interesting."

The gauntlet has been thrown, people. Let's get to work. How many of us are bored at work today :-)

Posted by: Slublog on August 11, 2005 09:13 AM

I think I speak for everyone here in the Ace of Spades HQ bleachers by asking, "Who the fuck is Tanker?!?"

I must've missed this guy's brilliant wit and postings this past year. Since I visit here more often than I visit my own blog, that means this "Tanker" made a great impression on me.

Anyway, he can't be worse than Ace, so Tanker, welcome aboard, and good luck-- we're all counting on you.

As for the beautiful and talented LauraW, I'm just glad we finally have a blogger who has a "student film" that she doesn't want publicized. My guess is, we'll just threaten to drop a tape into Wonkette's mailbox (Note: not a euphemism), and soon enough Laura will be posting all of Compos Mentis stories about how he got kicked in the spleen by the horse he was shagging.

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted blogging personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

The king is 25% dead. . . All hail the 25% king! (and, uh, queen)!

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

Slu, there's probaly four of us even awake. This site is the damndest one for slug-a-beds.

Posted by: spongeworthy on August 11, 2005 09:18 AM

Cripes, what's wrong with all of you? I've been at work for at least 20 minutes, and working for maybe three of those.

"Ace of Spades HQ, Now With 25% Less Ace Content"

Promises, promises... :P

Posted by: Kristian on August 11, 2005 09:26 AM

Shhhh. I'm burning a CD. I find that takes every ounce of my mental capacity. Or is that inch? Or is that every byte of my RAM? Dammit, see? Now I've lost my place.

Posted by: S. Weasel on August 11, 2005 09:29 AM

Okay, make that five minutes of work.

Posted by: Slublog on August 11, 2005 09:31 AM

Hey congrats, LauraW and Tanker (whoever you are).

I was seriously serious the other day about LauraW - she packs a lot of funny into her relatively (well, compared to a lot of you jabbering monkeys-handcuffed-to-typewriters) short comments here.

Looks like a started my harmless but annoying to LauraW internet stalking of her just in the nick of time.

Posted by: Rocketeer on August 11, 2005 09:43 AM

Okay, is "Tanker" a real person, or another Ace creation, like Hoke or Smitty?

Posted by: Slublog on August 11, 2005 09:46 AM

LauraW is extremely cool -- wahoo! I mean, um, gosh Ace, we'll miss you deadly.

Posted by: sarah on August 11, 2005 09:57 AM

Where's my new content? I was promised new content.

Posted by: Dman on August 11, 2005 10:13 AM

"My guess is, we'll just threaten to drop a tape into Wonkette's mailbox (Note: not a euphemism)"

ROFL!

Posted by: BrewFan on August 11, 2005 10:17 AM

Cripes, what's wrong with all of you?

I had a meeting, ok?

Posted by: Dave in a Conference Room on August 11, 2005 10:27 AM

Sorry, Dave. I was referring to the "slug a bed" contingent among us.

Posted by: Slublog on August 11, 2005 10:29 AM

Why did he ask me?
Hello? Moronblog, remember?

Darrrr derrrr unhh
I am a person!

Posted by: lauraw on August 11, 2005 10:34 AM

No sweat, I'm ready to screw off for the rest of the day now.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on August 11, 2005 10:34 AM

Forget all that other fluff - what 25mm fantasy miniatures are we talking about here?


/TJ
... been out of miniature-based games for WAY to long!

Posted by: TJ on August 11, 2005 10:38 AM

More lauraw ... awww yeah!

Posted by: IreneFingIrene on August 11, 2005 10:38 AM

Yeah, me too.

I finished a huge project this week and am now doing the more mindless work that piles up.

Posted by: Slublog on August 11, 2005 10:50 AM

Every time lauraw posts something I'll have to count the syllables to see if she's trying to slip in a haiku (also not a euphemism). Congrats.

Posted by: skinbad on August 11, 2005 10:54 AM

Ace would rather lay on the couch watching television or losing his money playing online pok*r than post on his blog. :(

Posted by: on August 11, 2005 11:02 AM

How long before I make a complete ass of myself?
Fair warning, the suspense never lasts long at all.

Posted by: lauraw on August 11, 2005 11:06 AM

this is way late but another comparison is....

Lt. Tawny Madison and Dr. Lazarus to Ace's Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart!

XLefty

Posted by: Xlefty on August 11, 2005 11:32 AM

Hey, I resemble that remark...

Posted by: fat kid on August 11, 2005 11:38 AM

Congrats, LauraW. Looking forward to your posts.

And congrats to the Tanker dude, who I've never heard of either.

Posted by: Dogstar on August 11, 2005 11:40 AM

LaurW, I trust that you will keep us posted on the burning issue of whether your husband gets a potato gun (know that you've seen one in action).

Congrats to you both.

Posted by: Michael on August 11, 2005 12:10 PM

It is really an honor.
It's just like in 7th grade when I 'won' a long turn making punch for all the other kids at the Big Dance.

Posted by: lauraw on August 11, 2005 12:16 PM

"Damn, girl, you make some fine punch," the boys said, then they'd twirl a girl around the dance floor in sheer appreciation of me.

Posted by: lauraw on August 11, 2005 12:17 PM

So when does the banner get changed to "Laura's House of Spades and her boy, ace"?

Posted by: on August 11, 2005 12:34 PM

The guys get fucking shirts.

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.
