Be nice to the help...

Or suffer the wrath of the passive-aggressive customer service rep.

I think Jeffery Scrotum Bag Barnes is a lovely name. What is that, Irish?

I dunno, I think I'd be offended by the clumsy redundancy of "scrotum bag." It's like saying "testicle balls."

Posted by: Hubris on August 18, 2005 10:09 AM

We're reasonably sure we can be there promptly one week from Thursday, definitely between 8am and 9pm, oh, and if you're not home or don't answer our call, it'll be 3 weeks before we can reschedule.


Bitch.

I had heard about the "Bitch Dog" thing, but I missed the "Scrotum Bag" bit. THAT is priceless.

In fact, I think I'm going to start inserting that into official USG paperwork, just to see how long before someone catches on.

HA! Who the hell am I kidding? This shit's gonna end up in the Congressional Record before anyone's the wiser. . .

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

The redundancy is part of the childlike magic Hubris.

The only way to improve it would be to add more;
"Jeffery Scrotum Bag Sweaty Nutsack Testicle Balls."

Posted by: lauraw on August 18, 2005 10:31 AM

Jeffery Scrotum Bag Sweaty Nutsack Testicle Balls."

That's it, I've found a name for my first-born child. I sure hope it's a boy.

Posted by: utron on August 18, 2005 10:34 AM

It definitely sounds like someone trying too hard for emphasis: "You scrotum bag!

It reminds me of Corky in Waiting for Guffman: "Well, then, I just HATE you... and I hate your... ass... FACE!"

Posted by: Hubris on August 18, 2005 10:40 AM

jeffery is consulting with a lawyer?
'oh no, i got called a name! gimmee my crazy court money"
the first lady sounds like a bitch too

the same kind of redundancy with bitch dog suggests a pattern

On a passive-aggressive blogwhoring note, my Passive-Aggressive Relationship Translator consistently gets the most Google hits. Usually in the middle of the night.

I always picture the poor victim furtively searching for answers by the dim glow of the computer screen, as their partner wails "it would really be great if you'd come to bed now" from the next room.

"No one here by that name.

Posted by: Claire on August 18, 2005 11:31 AM

While it may, at first glance, seem redundant ... I think, perhaps, they were calling him a bag in which you could carry a scrotum ... i.e. - a testicle transporter transporter. See, no redundancy there.


And either way - its too damned funny to criticize!

I know you are the Claire from The Wedding Crashers, and you are the most beautiful woman on earth. Will you marry me? I'll stop by tonight to give you the ring.

In another life, I worked customer service mail and phones. We had a guy set up a fraudulent account under the name "Chaffin Peterskin." Whoever processed that application was an idiot, but it went through, an account was established, and product shipped. I used to like to call into our 800 number when on my break and give the clerk old Chaffin's account number. The reactions I would get were priceless.

Posted by: compos mentis on August 18, 2005 12:23 PM

"Scrobag" seems like a useful epithet.
"Stinky Scrobag"
"Stinky Liberal Scrobag"
"Ted 'Scrobag' Kennedy"

It can even rhyme: "Fag Hag Scrobag"

I once met a liberal scrobag
who told all our soldiers to "go frag"
His patriotism displayed
was so morally decayed
that it made our Jihadi foe gag

Have you ever considered writing pop lyrics?

Posted by: 72 bearded ladies on August 18, 2005 01:54 PM

For certain legal/financial transactions (e.g. getting a loan from the bank to buy a house), you need to specify whether or not you've ever gone by any other names or aliases. It does not matter that it was not your fault; if the cable company has been billing you under another name, that may come up, and you may need to list the incorrect name. These people may actually end up having to write obscenities on a loan application some day, I kid you not. Which, you know, isn't necessarily such a bad thing.

Posted by: SJKevin on August 18, 2005 02:28 PM

"Scrotum Bag and the Bitch Dog" would be a great name for a sitcom.

(Starring Andy Dick and Jeanene Garafalo as gritty San Franciso cops).

I routinely scream at BellSouth telemarketers that keep calling several times a week trying to sell me services I don't want/need.

If there's going to be some crazy lawsuit money in this I'm going to have to try even harder to piss someone off...

We should have a contest to see who can get the best nickname. Email or link to scans of utility bills as proof of your success.

Oh, how I long to be referred to as "Dog Douchebag Dumbfuck Suckass Turdface Star".

If only...

"Jeffery Scrotum Bag Sweaty Nutsack Testicle Balls."

And the nickname would be "Itchy."

Cordially...

"Jeffery Scrotum Bag Sweaty Nutsack Testicle Balls."

Stop it, you're making my stomach hurt and my co-workers are looking at me funny.

Man, I would love to get a bill that addressed me as a Mr. Scrotum Bag. Just think how much fun that phone call to customer service would be.

Posted by: The Warden on August 18, 2005 05:47 PM

i worked in a large dept. store .
the guys in the stock room used to sneak calls in to the cust svc desk, asking the lady to use the store-wide intercom system to page ''Mike Hunt''

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- 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.


Nick Lowles
@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?"
