Okay, that's fucking funny. You win, 'cause I'll never be able to get that image out of my mind.

Oh great, now you nutty wingers are going to bitch that it looks like a tablecloth in a cheap Italian restaurant.

A commentor on the other thread noted that the competition was funded by the Heinz Foundation. I'm guessing there's some serious Olive Garden money behind this new design. And I hate their f'in TV commercials. The Right must boycott!!

FROM THE FUTURE....

ME: The new memorial design looks like a suicide belt.

LEFTIE: No, it's a utility belt, to show the hard work all Amercians need to do to come together in peace and harmony!

ME: Why are there wires sticking out?

LEFTIE: They show the results of imperialst oppression and how capitalism separtes us from the social whole and the rainbow of a progressive society.

ME: And the C4?

LEFTIE: Hey, don't blame use because the Zionists stole land from the Arabs!

"The Right must boycott!!"

Where has 72 Schizophrenics been lately?

Haven't seen him for a while, BrewFan. But something seemed different about AoSHQ, like--I don't know, an Italian restaurant without red checked tablecloths. I just felt that it needed to be said.

Did allah have a change of heart?

(Now, I'm hungry for calamari and mussels.)

Calamari? Ick.

I'm Italian and that stuff is strictly dying from starvation fare - last chance stuff, well behind something like an earthworm Slurpie.

If I feel the need to gnaw on O-rings, I just gnaw on some O-rings and let the critters alone.

How about a design in the shape of box cutters?

I am sure Yasser and Jimmy Carter think it is great. I doubt Todd Beamer would like it. It will also make the ACLU and Nancy Pelosi happy.

Durn. There goes my goatse joke -p-shop. Allah be praised.

Oh great, now you nutty wingers are going to bitch that it looks like a tablecloth in a cheap Italian restaurant.

Bill, WTF is going on with your blog, by the way. Burnout? Shit, Allah lasted at least a couple of years. Are you going to wuss out this soon?

Why didn't we just make the WWII memorial a giant swastika?

What an opportunity we missed! Could have called it, "The Swastika Hug," or even better, "The Swastika Reach Around!" (That is what a swastika looks like afterall, a giant series of reach arounds.)
DKK (LifeTrek)

When you're taking it in the butt, the LEAST they can do is offer you a reach around.

Dems aren't that cultured and polite though.

Shit, Allah lasted at least a couple of years.

13.5 months.

13.5 months

Well then, I'm confused, because I actually went to the trouble of visiting Allah is in the Poor House and the archives linked go from August 2003 to September of 2005. So I don't understand why you are claiming to be as big a pussy as Bill.

I was only really blogging from August '03 to October '04. Since then it's been one or two posts per month. Doesn't count.

Allah,

good times. good times.

Allah:

OK, thanks for the explanation. I will concede that you are as big a pussy as Bill.

I remember reading your site in the run-up to the election when I first got interested in blogs and was highly entertained and informed by you, and then you quit. I'm sure you know that you are sorely missed, as Bill will be (life will not be the same if you cannot anticipate another moonbat photo essay). Now I'm stuck with the retards here.

Of course, Bill is an arrogant dickhead who banned me, so fuck him anyway.

Anyway, thanks for adding some joy to my life, and I wish you all the best.

You only blogged that long, Allah?

Man, seems like longer for some reason. Maybe you updated a lot.

My favorite posts were the photoshops. I thought of the Jack Ryan campaign posters the other day and had a chuckle - "He's been to the mountaintop."

michael: So what did you do to piss ol' Bill off?

Made a joke about his made-up IM-messages-with-Jeff schtick. Then joked some more about the fact that he deleted me.

Bill's got a lot of talent, but a self-deprecating sense of humor is not his forte.

(And once again into the fascist minutiae of how I run my comments section at "AoSHQ: Refuge of the Smarting INDC Banned")

Michael -

I deleted your comment because you whined and spun some odd conspiracy angle about me deleting a comment by Goldstein, which I axed because Jeff inadvertently spoiled the premise of upcoming piece that was going to be a surprise. (which I told you)

In short, the deletion of your comment was me lightly effing with you for being a nosy busybody about how I run my site. And also told you this. But then ...

I BANNED you because you wouldn't shut up about THE HORROR OF DELETION, and then started taking swipes at me on my site. Granted, your intent was in this odd, "we're buddies and I'm giving you a wedgie" vibe, but ... it was fucking annoying, dude.

So the bottom line is, when some whiney baby pussy posts 4 or 5 comments in a row calling me a fascist because I deleted a comment, he is shown the door. Why? For YOUR well-being as well as mine.

Because I'm a GIVER. Because I CARE. About YOU. And if YOU'RE not happy with my comments section, I don't want YOU to SUFFER it.

Thanks for the talent comment, though.

It's about the LOVE, you see!

Because I'm a GIVER. Because I CARE. About YOU.

So does this mean you're doing the ass massages at Ace's Spirituality Weekend? I'm trying to book talent now so we're not scrambling at the last minute.

So does this mean you're doing the ass massages at Ace's Spirituality Weekend?

Is that like Atrios's EschataCON? With panels and sack races and softball games and ass massages?

If so, no, the ass massages would be BrewFan's job.

Here are some pictures from EschataCON for reference, btw.

Wow. Speaking of banning and IMs, didn't I used to be on Ace's voluminous blogroll over there?

Let me guess: it was the Jesus Skittle, wasn't it?

Holy crap, this is the funniest comment I've seen on a blog:

I AM SO FUCKING JEALOUS! If there was such a thing as heaven, that is what it would look like.

Let me guess: it was the Jesus Skittle, wasn't it?

Ah, thank you for the link during one of the Jesus Skittle/La Shawn Barber discussions.

That was a fun little blog-battle while it lasted...

I'll just comment here a lot so that people can find my url that way.

Should they be so inclined, I mean.

I AM SO FUCKING JEALOUS! If there was such a thing as heaven, that is what it would look like.

That had me laughing too.

"So the bottom line is, when some whiney baby pussy posts 4 or 5 comments in a row calling me a fascist because I deleted a comment, he is shown the door."

BTW, Bill:

I may be a whiny pussy . . .

*chorus of assent from AOSHQ regulars*

. . . but I never called you a fascist or said anything close to it. My recollection is that I just made remarks along the lines of "Hey, deleted again!" I thought you were trying to be funny and I was playing along.

Interesting that you now remember being called a fascist.

Replacing the name of the memorial while leaving the shape in place would be like replacing Friends "Ross" with a left handed Ross..

Oh, my God, I thought it looked like Arafat's head rag.

I must be sick.

JeffG,

I mentioned that in a recent blogroll update post. I delinked you as a joke, after Hundred Percenter did, as some kind of attempt to begin an ersatz blog war.

I kept meaning to put you back on, but I'd always forget, assuming that you were already on.

I'll put you back on this weekend.

"If so, no, the ass massages would be BrewFan's job"

If by 'ass massage' you mean writing the word 'banned' on my pecker and driving it up your ass, then yeah, that's my job.

Well, if you say so, as long as it has nothing to do with any religion. Gee, you would think that we had already entered dhimmitude, going by what that architect says. What a tool.

Allah, honey, anything from you counts.

Even if it's a whole lot less often than we wish.

Better to have noe at all than one that honors murdering Muslims. Looks the work of Peolsi, Reid, Boxer and the ACLU.Tood Beamer must be rollion over in anguish in his grave. What an insult! The progressives will destroy America if we do not fight. "Lets roll" patriotic Americans. F--- the ACLU, MoveOn and the MS/DNC

Hey, Brewfan.
Wouldn't you have to drop the nn and the e to get that word to fit?

How about just putting up a giant pig shitting the poKoran? I'm all for it.

The truth is that allah was a pagan moon god in the kaaba. Yes these fuvks knew what they were doing putting up this crescent. I say screw them, screw the PC muslime hugging liberals. It makes me sick.

Why was the ACLU allowed to pick an America hating architect? Why were there no patriotic America lovers making the choice. What a disgrace! I'm sure Todd Beamer's family is horrified! Honoring his killers?! Get rid of the ACLU!

If these liberal idealogue memorials that seem to keep cropping up are indicative of progression in our freedom, I say bring on the FACISM baby!!!!!!!!!

I love Allah. I miss Allah. He is the most creative person ever on the Web.

I think your spoof on the pretentiou and ridiculous proposed memorial should kill it for all time.The problem is when I show people the spoof and the real proposal, people can't tell which is the spoof.

It has a sort of crescent-y shape.

*Shrug*

There are only so many shapes to go around (no pun intended).

The Denver Airport has four wings sticking out in four directions, which had the nutters screaming "Swastika!"

So it's a crescent? So what? The world's full of them. Should we forbid people to look at the night sky?

Oh, and about Allah? Ask any Arabic-speaking Christian, and they'll tell you Jesus is the only begotten son of Allah (al-lah, "the God"). So all you guys heaping disdain on the name of Allah are . . . anti-Christian.

reminds me of the Nazi forest swastikas

Excellent.

My God is not named "Allah," and never has been. And He's never had a "prophet" who was a child-molesting dope fiend.

Hey, John. Do you always just cut and paste blog posts and put them in the comments sections of other blogs?

Because that's pretty pathetic. Are you so desperate for attention that you're willing to try and drum up traffic from a conservative blog?

What would Kost think? Because I know he does all of your thinking for you.

Your blog sucks dead donkey balls, by the way.

wOOt!
