« 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!

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

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.

Glad to hear from you.

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

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:

A sample fun quote:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

-- 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.
(((Dan Hodges)))
@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:
