Open ThreadIf a tree farts in the forest but there's no one to smell it, does it bother to blame the dog? (Slublog tells me that Atrios started a new open thread. Just tryin' to keep up.) posted by Ace at 09:14 AM

I dunno, Ace. For the full-on Atrios experience you need to ditch the MovableType comment engine and replace it with a freebie Haloscan account. Then you, too, could have wildly inaccurate comment counts on your free Blogspot-hosted training wheels blog. If Atrios came to power, he'd save taxpayers tons of money by closing federal offices and having Federal employees drive around the city all day, steering the car with their knees and sending faxes over their cell phones.

Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? A: Fish. Posted by: VRWC Agent on November 23, 2005 12:03 PM
I tried to change the lightbulb, but it melted and ran out of the socket, burning my hand. Then it turned into some dirty underpants that I sniffed until my head exploded and the fragments formed a Yoko Ono collage in the starry, starry sky. Posted by: Salvador Dali on November 23, 2005 12:14 PM
C'mon, Ace! We need a new open thread! This one has like, 10 comments in it already! I bet we'd never be treated this way at Atrios!!! Posted by: Mr. Right on November 23, 2005 12:32 PM

If Atrios farts in a forest, 200,000 lefties will show up out of nowhere to inhale the essence. Posted by: rd on November 23, 2005 01:13 PM

Wheras if Oliver Willis farts in a forest, 200,000 organisms suffer instant death. Posted by: Mark on November 23, 2005 01:18 PM
Wheras if Oliver Willis farts in a forest That's a racist premise. Posted by: Oliver on November 23, 2005 01:49 PM
Nah. Racist would be "farts in a jungle." Posted by: on November 23, 2005 02:18 PM

Breaking news: Dolly Parton had a real pair of 38s
Or at least one. She carried it everywhere for protection. This joke brought to you by Benny Hill. And speaking of the British: The Buckingham Palace guard tributed her yesterday
Dolly Parton is badgered into saying something negative about Trump's bus-board locker-room talk, but refuses to bow to the media pressure, telling the twink agitator she learned long ago to "keep your damned mouth shut"
What I'm appreciating is that while her surface is soft and sweet, she's got some actual steel a centimeter underneath.
1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show. She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
TJM talks about the films of Ralph Bakshi, director of the animated The Lord of the Rings and ranks them definitively

"All women who are overweight or obese will have to wear burka. 10,000 steps per day, low carb."
Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit. Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?) I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure. Recent Comments
