« And The Republican Nominee In 2008 Will Be. . . | Main | Embarrassing Celebrity College Facebook Picture Watch »
January 23, 2006

Absentee Blogger

I apologize for my continuing absence. Basically, I'm scrambling to find a new apartment, maybe in a new town, and it's time consuming. Lot of travel, lot of paperwork, lot of crap. Fingers crossed, I may have a place.

On the plus side, a guest I've been trying to get for a while may finally be appearing on the show: Army reservist Timothy Haag, who (almost) single handedly killed 15-20 terrorists after an ambush in Samarra in 2004. He actually commented here as "Viking Ghost," and I've been trying to get him on the show since then. He's since appeared on NBC News (I believe; it may have been another broadcast network) with other guys from his regiment, and now he's ready for the bigger venues, like Hoist the Black Flag.

Not to push this -- people seem sick of it -- but hey, if you've got a Cool Fact About Timothy Haag, let me know. Might be fun to mention them to him during the interview. There's a Top Ten List about him at the end of the link above to get the ball rolling.

PS: Nice "headline" over in the sidebar, Dave.

PPS: I want to thank my co-bloggers for really stepping things up in my absence, and of course the guest bloggers who were kind enough to come in here and post, and, you know, totally screw up the headlines sidebar.

PPPS: You don't have to stop now if you don't want to. Tuesdays before a show are always hectic, particularly this Tuesday.

Damn...Sully has finally talked you into moving to P-town, hasn't he?

Posted by: Jack M. on January 23, 2006 05:50 PM

I wish I knew how to quit him.

Posted by: ace on January 23, 2006 05:53 PM

Tim Haag just has to tell the guys down the hall in marketing that he's feeling a little cranky and almost instantly a cuppa joe and a Danish will appear on his desk.

Posted by: skinbad on January 23, 2006 06:03 PM

That skirmish in Samarra where the press claimed the Army massacred civilians when it was fighting off ambushers? The convoy that was transporting currency?

Posted by: Moonbat_One on January 23, 2006 06:08 PM

Shit Ace, I sent you an email about it, I'm sorry, man!

Don't Fredo me!

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 23, 2006 06:35 PM

Are you moving to the left coast? Steve already told us about your beach bunny days.

Posted by: shawn on January 23, 2006 06:51 PM

Dude,

I sent you an email in reply a few minutes ago. I was totally kididing.

Posted by: ace on January 23, 2006 06:52 PM

Tim Haag knows how to post headlines in the sidebar.

Tim Haag knows what to do with guest blogging "loose shit" old news posters.

Posted by: Pupster on January 23, 2006 06:57 PM

sure Dave, he says he's kidding.

but he's shaking his head like Al Pacino.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 23, 2006 07:04 PM

Tim Haag's favorite TV comedy show is 24. He thinks Jack Bauer is one funny sumbitch!

Posted by: Madfish Willie on January 23, 2006 07:07 PM

Dave, he knew it was you.

You broke his heart.

You broke his heart!

Posted by: Slublog on January 23, 2006 07:08 PM

rip off from a more famous terrorist killer, but still fitting:

When life gives Tim Haag lemons, Tim Haag uses them to kill terrorists. Tim Haag fucking hates lemonade.

Every time you maturbate Tim Haag kills a terrorist. Not beacuase you masurbated, but because that is how often he kills terrorists.

Tim Haag doesn't miss. If he didn't hit you it's because he was shooting at another terrorist twelve miles away.

It would only take 1 bullet for Tim Haag to kill 50 Cent.

hell... just go to the site that dave linked the other day and s/Jack Bauer/Tim Haag

Apology accepted, Mr. of Spades.

I still ain't going rowing with you, however.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 23, 2006 07:09 PM

Glad to hear from you.

I'm having my hump detailed in honor of your return.

It really is, especially with backlighting.

Posted by: lauraw on January 23, 2006 07:52 PM

Ace,

For a change of pace, how about having a guest who believes in Intelligent Design, like say Michael Behe. We haven't had an ID vs Evolution battle in a while and listening to a debate on it might set off a Thunderdome-sized flame war, which would be very cool.

You can probably find lots of potential guests here:

target="_blank" class="text">http://www.evolutionnews.org/

A sample fun quote:

the ID people are on to something, while the proponents of Darwinian evolution are missing the point.”

Ace,

For a change of pace, how about having a guest who believes in the female orgasm.

Does such a person exist?

Posted by: BrewFan on January 23, 2006 08:46 PM

The original line in Aliens was "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit, and if that doesn't work, we'll send in Timothy Haag."

But they cut the second half of the line from the final version so they wouldn't scare the kids.

Posted by: Phinn on January 23, 2006 08:49 PM

BrewFan -

I thought a girl I was with was having one, but it turns out her hamstring had cramped up. I firmly believe all reports of female orgasm, if fully investigated, could be attributed to cramped hammys. Or weather ballons and swamp gas.

Posted by: steve_in_hb on January 23, 2006 08:53 PM

Posted by: Michael on January 23, 2006 09:23 PM

If you pronounce it "Haig", as in Reagan's Secretary of State, he's cool with that. But if you pronounce it "Hague", as in the UN's international tribunal, he will kill you. They sound very similar, but he has never yet mistaken anyone's intent.

2. Brewfan,

Thanks for closing the tag. I don't know what happened. All I did was click on the link icon up above.

Posted by: max on January 23, 2006 09:39 PM

Ace, you were always too cool for New York. Las Vegas is more your style dude!

As for Timothy Haag, he's also a master of covert intel - he actually knows where Joe is.

Also, hammers wish they could slice like Timothy Haag.

Posted by: Enas Yorl on January 23, 2006 09:53 PM

My pleasure. BTW, my 'blaming' you was in fun. The real culprit is this lame commenting software :)

Posted by: BrewFan on January 23, 2006 09:58 PM

A common expression among pimps is "strong Haag hand."

Posted by: Phinn on January 23, 2006 10:01 PM

I don't know why, but for some reason I am reminded of that old Tex Avery cartoon, with the little flea, trying to find his place in the world...

theeeeere's a home around the corner, home around the cor-ner there's a home around the cor---ner, for meeeeeeee"

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 23, 2006 10:15 PM

oh, and ace, I don't mean you're like a flea dude...

I was just trying to connect with the whole, you know, pathos of the thing.

yeah

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 23, 2006 11:20 PM

woman may or may not have orgasms. Which begs the question:

So?

Posted by: wiserbud on January 23, 2006 11:27 PM

OT (is there a T?),

the Texicans are fixin to get their asses kicked at the Alamo on HBO.

I raise my glass...

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 23, 2006 11:29 PM

wiserbud -

It's like the Loch Ness monster. I just think we should ackowledge that it doesn't exist so we can stop wasting time exploring every nook and cranny of the feature in question. Instead, just pop in have a little dip and be done with it. Isn't that more efficient?

Posted by: steve_in_hb on January 23, 2006 11:33 PM

Does such a person exist?

Not on THIS website. Well, unless Megan still posts here.

Thanks to Timothy Hagg, there are about 2 dozen confused Arabs looking around Hell and asking, "Where are the virgins?"

And, on a related topic, Hubby sent me this today...

A 'touchy-feelie' CNN reporter, while interviewing a Marine sniper a few days ago asked,
"What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist."

The Marine shrugged and replied, "Recoil."

There were no more questions...

Posted by: bbeck on January 24, 2006 12:08 AM

Timothy Haag doesn't comb his hair. Not because the brush's bristles are too weak, but because he doesn't want to "fag up his head."

Timothy Haag's tracking skills are so finely tuned that he's never lost anyone or anything. Not even his own virginity. (Ummm, that one may have come out wrong. Maybe I should take it back before Mr. Haag decides to air out my brain.)

Timothy Haag’s sweat smells like fresh-baked bread and honeysuckle flowers. But when threatened, Timothy Haag’s sweat will pull out a switchblade and cut your ass.

Timothy Haag’s favorite food is HoHos. …. Wait, not “HoHos.” I meant “hobos.”

Contrary to popular belief, Timothy Haag’s thighs are not registered with the United Nations as “Weapons of Mass Destruction.” They’re registered as “Weapons of Sexy Destruction.”

Instead of band aids, Timothy Haag carries an acetylene torch and a bucket of mud.

Ace, please be sure and thank Mr. Haag for us. I sleep better at night knowing he's on our side.

Posted by: The Comish (sic) on January 24, 2006 12:23 AM

When Jack Bauer needs help, he calls Timothy Haag.

Every time a James Bond film comes on, Timothy Haag laughs and says, "What kind of pu$$y needs a LICENSE to kill??"

In the TV movie, the part of Timothy Haag will be played by a heavily-armed vat of testosterone.

After news of Haag's accomplishments reached the Afghani caves, Osama bin Laden was overheard saying, "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all."

Ever the modest fellow, Timothy Haag tried to downplay his heroism by saying, "It was like shooting ducks in a barrel...if the ducks were shooting back and the barrel was barricaded."

Posted by: bbeck on January 24, 2006 12:31 AM

The real reason that it took such a long time for Cartoon Network to schedule a second season of the Venture Brothers is that Timothy Haag beat the crap out of Brock Sampson.

Not for any reason, it was sort of like climbing Everest, except that it was over in five seconds, which is ten seconds less than it took Mister Haag climb the mountain.

Posted by: Sortelli on January 24, 2006 01:21 AM

Sortelli-

On the Venture Bros, do you happen to know if the first season is coming out on DVD? I frickin' LOVED that show, and now no longer have cable.

Or is there really no second season. I would hate you for life if there was really no second season.

Posted by: JL Mould on January 24, 2006 02:07 AM

I actually went and looked on Wikipedia before saying anything about a second season. Apparently it is scheduled for summer 06, and the DVD of season one is being held back until then.

Posted by: Sortelli on January 24, 2006 02:18 AM

-----------

* At county fair midways, Timothy Haag always shoots out the star.

* Cars don't backfire around Timothy Haag. They've learned.

* While at the movie theater a couple of teens used a laser pointer on the screen. Timothy Haag used a laser sight on the teens. And a silencer. Timothy's polite like that.

* Uranium depletes before Timothy Haag does.

* 200 round ammo drums are now referred to in the Sandbox as 'Tim Cans'

* Timothy Haag always cleans up his brass after a fire fight. He's environmentally conscious like that.

* Thanks to Timothy Haag's recent Christmas shopping experience at a Ritz Camera, cameras are no longer refered to as 'point-and-shoot' devices

When Chuck Norris heard about Timothy Haag, he immediately killed all the writers of Walker: Texas Ranger with flying roundhouse kicks.

Then he curled up on the floor, crapped his pants and cried like a little girl.

Posted by: Phinn on January 24, 2006 08:00 AM

Timothy Haag leapt into the lion pit at his hometown zoo. The lions all drew near, and knelt before him.

Timothy Haag has "Like a Viking" tattooed. On his cock.

Also has his opinion tattooed on his cock. And when he wants your opinion, well, you know what happens next.

Timothy Haag eats nails and kryptonite because he knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 24, 2006 09:07 AM

----------

* Timothy Haag's maxim: "Pain don't hurt ... when you're dishing it out."

* Timoth Haag was hired as the technical adviser on the in-development movie Killing Islamo-Fascist Terrorist Guys by the Bucketsful

* He's signed on for the sequel.

* Thanks to Timothy Haag, S&H no longer gives out green stamps to soldiers for confirmed KIAs in Iraq. For his part, Timothy thanked S&H for the nice silver H3 he got.

Posted by: BumperStickerist on January 24, 2006 09:18 AM

Tim is the only guy who has actually seen a woman orgasm--several in fact. Speaking for all our mothers, I think they were appreciative.

Sure, we could take offense and confront Tim about the mother-pleasuring. But instead we'll just sit here and shut up, lest he turn his steely gaze this way.

Chuck Norris was fuunnnny, Phinn.

Posted by: spongeworthy on January 24, 2006 09:18 AM

Timothy Haag never lets them see his hurt, he never show his pain.

He just kills the motherfuckers.

And he scares the shit out of the ones that get away.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 24, 2006 09:35 AM

Timothy Haag has 10 trigger fingers. Nine of which are itchy, while the 10th is just flat out bat shit crazy.

Posted by: Master of None on January 24, 2006 09:55 AM

* www.timothyhaag.com doesn't need a firewall, it has a pillbox and the skulls of dozens spammers and hackers mounted on poles on the home page.

The coolest fact of all: Dick Cheney, John Bolton's moustache and Timothy Haag are all on the same side.

Ours.
