Well, look on the bright side. Maybe the sci-fi geeks actually got some work done! :>)

By someone elses fault you obviously mean Bush right?

The show did go ok. It was my first time listening. I got the link for "Alarming News". Word up.

"Oh, Ace, what have you been telling these people?"

/your Mom's voice still haunting every adult moment of your life

Thanks to you I had a no good, horrible, very bad day.

Actually, Ace, this is a good thing.

Why? Because I feared that you had finally been blocked at work.

Trust me, you do NOT want to be blocked by the Pentagon. Two words: black helicopters.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

You're hurting me. You're hurting me bad, man.

Loose Shit

Sorry Ace, and everyone who reads his stuff. A combination of incessant blog spam and a denial of service attack brought the server down for a few hours.

I just want to note at this point that I FUCKING HATE SPAMMERS! DIE YOU MISERABLE CRETINS! DIE!!!!

Umm, have I been banned?

----------

Seriously, if this keeps up much longer, I'm just going to take my business to a site with some fucking integrity.

;-)

I just figured that the server had gone on strike in order to protest being forced to host that dork thread. But yeah, I guess spam makes some sense, too.

site done went Tango Uniform on ya, did it?

miserable spammers.

Do we get a refund?

That son of a bitch knocked me down!

Zionists. Got to be Zionists.

So, Warden, are you lovin' the weather after such a miserable summer?

I'm trying to figure out if it would be funny to come on to Cindy or just boring. I'm betting on boring right now.

I question the timing.

So, ace, did you demonstrate a Terry stop for Karol? You know, shove her against a wall, order her to spread 'em, feel her up real good — but in a non-intrusive manner. ;)

Michael,

Well, tonight I just enjoyed a cigar outside while the sun went down.....so yes. I wish it was like this all year round.

My lawn looks like a grass fire swept through. I'm sure it'll be good and cold this winter, though, to make up for the heat wave.

Gotta love Columbus weather. Someone offer me a job in Charleston, SC please!

Warden:

If you want to see the tournament next year, my house in Muirfield is a ten minute walk from the 18th green. Shoot me an email if you want to park in my driveway and/or borrow a badge. Me and Mrs. Michael always get a couple of Patron badges, but we only go once or twice. (The pool boy goes a lot.)

Michael,

I appreciate the offer, but neither my wife or I are golf fans.

The pool boy, however, loves to play on those manicured greens.

don't piss me off again

Or me.

I'm watching you.

Pixy misa is a dude? I was picturing this Dorothy Hammill knock-off in Garofolo glasses slaving over a hot server and it turns out PM's a guy.

Ace,

Come on man! I'm jones'n for a post!

[donning flame-proof clothing]

Maybe Pixy should invest in some REAL software like, oh, Windows 2003, IIS, Sql Server and ASP

:)

There's only one way to celebrate Ace's return to the online living.

Flame war.

Celebration, Ace™ style.

*patiently waiting for the blizzard of new posts that Ace was diligently working on while site was down*

What are the odds that Ace spent the whole time drinking Val-U-Rite vodka, passed out, and now doesn't even know his site is back? Is that possible?

Don't even bother to answer.

Whenever I hear any one arguing for a flame war, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally ooh ooh ooh AAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

So we can all crawl out of the bomb shelter now?

ML - bite me.

Oh, sorry. Thought the war had begun.

Flame wars on Ace's site are almost as much fun to read as the sci-fi and fantasy we mock each other for loving.

Geez, Ace, I'm glad you're back on now. That should keep Michael occupied.

Now maybe I'll finally be able to get a little alone time with Mrs. Michael.

Yay! He's back!

It was sort of like our own little version of It's A Wonderful Life. What would life be without ace?

Well, I for one, wd get a hell of a lot more work done, my arteries wd be less clogged, and I wd weigh about 10 lbs lighter.

Now maybe I'll finally be able to get a little alone time with Mrs. Michael.

And her manicured greens!

Pool Boy:

Are ya gettin' a little bored with boinking that Sasquatch?

Where's Joe?

Are ya gettin' a little bored with boinking that Sasquatch?

Which one? Mrs. Michael, or your mother?

P.S. - Seems it's on, Slublog. By the way, did you know that "slublog" is Latin for "ball-sucker?"

P.S. - Seems it's on, Slublog. By the way, did you know that "slublog" is Latin for "ball-sucker?"

Okay, man-whore.

At least I'm not screwing anyone related to Michael.

This whole blackout thing has really put a crimp in my officially-licensed Ace-of-Spades lifestyle (tm). And by lifestyle, I of course mean drinking cheap vodka while watching Internet porn. Ok, I know, I can get vodka and porn just about anywhere, but can I get Kim and Justine, or -- dare I breath her name -- Dusty (!) just anywhere?? I think not.

Cedarford walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder and the bartender says "Hey, where did you get that thing?". "The insane asylum", the parrot says, "there's hundreds of them there".

I'm smarter than all of you assholes put together. I'm really really smart. That's right, Brewfan, I'm just waaay smarter than a prick like you. You're too friggin' dumb to figure out why I banned you, even though I patiently and reasonably tried to explain why I was right and you were obviously wrong. It's MY BLOG and don't need dumbfucks like you commenting there. I want people with him I can intelligently and reasonably debate the issues.

Jerk!

In DC "I'm really really smart" translates to "I have a really really small pee pee"

I'm even smarter than Bill. I am so frickin' smart that I'm wearing a TIE in my new picture. A TIE!

Oliver:

I'd be more impressed if you didn't have tartar-sauce stains on your tie. Glad to see the shit-eating smirk is still firmly in place, though!

Also, a hint for the sartorially-challenged such as yourself: a full-windsor is a gauche throwback; try a breezy half-windsor or even a silk cravat with a stickpin. This kind of conservative tie-knot might cause someone to suspect your political leanings! And next time, avoid K-Mart when shopping for dress shirts. Spend the extra five bucks on the upscale Sears or J.C. Penny shirts; they'll not only wear better, but will have a bit more "give" at the neck.

Remember: the clothes make the Willis.

Hey, I was just in the pool!

I truly hope that most of you realize that a comment posted above has been falsely attributed to me.

To be charitable, I will assume that the commenter was trying to be funny in the context of a flame war. I'm not offended. But I believe the underlying criticism -- that I ban people for no good reason -- is unfounded. I make every effort to be fair and reasonable in my management of INDCJournal. Banning is reserved for those who exhibit seriously offensive conduct.

Please feel free to visit INDCJournal, and to participate with reasoned discourse in the comment threads. Rest assured that I welcome opinions contrary to my own.

And before you ask, Brewfan you dumbshit, this comment is fake also. If you had half a brain you could recognize sarcasm

Michael is funny
Peeks in windows of pool house
Seeing how it's done

Puzzled, turns away
Knowing he can never please
A real live woman

Yes, her feet are big
But not the important parts
Ya know what I mean?

Is it really up this time? Really? Because, like, I've been hurt before...

an index in the autumn rain

ever seen what an
errant database pointer
can do to your site?

"And before you ask, Brewfan you dumbshit, this comment is fake also"

I realize I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I did realize the first was a fake. But who can pass up an opportunity to take a shot at Bill? Not I.

Yes, her feet are big
But not the important parts
Ya know what I mean?

Lipstick:

Of course I do. Sheesh. You've got a cute, perky little nose. Big deal.

I just want to know if anything else is proportional with your feet. Meaning, are you sporting a pair of bbeckian hooters?

I have not seen the famed photo of bbeck's boobs so I cannot comment.

Well, how about... um, how shall I put this?

If a midget was standing in front of you, screaming, would there be an echo?

When your boyfriend comes to bed, is he wearing a snorkel?

"...help me find my keys and we'll drive outa here."

You guys crack me up--now I've got a picture in my head of a midget wearing a snorkel...

Who ever did the Bill at INDC parody: Perfect. Just the right amount of condescension.

Now do Cedarford with some extra crazy thrown in.

I've got a picture in my head of a midget wearing a snorkel...

... and he's searching for his special-made mini-Hummer (with driver's side booster seat).

I did the Bill parodies. I will never do a parody of Cedarford, whom I revere as the God of Trolls and the Master of Manipulation.

Somebody's been drinking again...

I realize I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I did realize the first was a fake.

Implicit in this statement is the on-the-record (I'm a lawyer) admission that you got sucked in by the second, seemingly sincere, Bill parody. You actually thought it was real before you got to the final paragraph. Geez, you are such a dumbshit!

Brewfan:

Um, how did you know that I'm drunk? Are you like watching me or something?

BTW, today Bill posted a link to an article defending a blogger's right to shut down comments on his site. Which is a totally noncontroversial topic. I wonder if Bill has been monitoring the ridicule he's been getting over here.

I totally agree that a blogger has the right to block comments on their blog. I also think that Bill is an asshole, and I'm certain that Bill doesn't care because anybody that doesn't agree with everything he says must be a retard. I think he spent too much time amongst the moonbats doing research. Some of it has rubbed off on him.

But let's be fair, Bill's moonbat photo essays were brilliant.

Yes, brilliant, but he's still an asshole.

Speaking of assholes, has anyone read this week's issue of The Onion? Cripes, someone should tell these idiots that reflexive anti-Bushism does not equal funny.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

On the plus side, the AV Club has an interview with Steve Carell.

I actually got interested in right-wing blogs because of Bill. Well, initially it was Allah, but I got interested in Allah about three weeks before he shut down (and about two weeks after Steven Den Beste shut down), and somehow I ended up with Bill. In the run-up to the election, Bill's site was a cool place to be.

Now I surf through AOSHQ, WizBang, Protein Wisdom, Dave at Garfield Ridge, John at Wuzzadem, The Politburo Diktat, The World Wide Rant, RightWingSparke, Jim Treacher, The Begravia Dispatch, and so on. I keep checking to see if Son of Nixon will come back.

So, there is a soft spot in my heart for Bill.

I'm surprised Ace and IMAO don't cross paths more often. They seem very similar in a few ways. Except they, evidently, have sex over there. But probably not while blogging.

And the Politburo Diktat, of course. Visit now and you can see a picture of really cute dog named Scamper, who is being restrained by the unnecessary insistence of the Komissar's wife (Topic: Pussy-whipped, read the comments.)

(I'm a lawyer)

Playing the sympathy card again I see.
