One of my political adversaries posted this send-up of my homepage image (which is meant to be silly anyway so this just makes it sillier yet). Nicely Photoshopped! You know they love you when they make silly photos of you. I may have to break out some of my ‘cupid’ photos from many years ago… no… there’d be far too much screaming and gouging-out of eyes. sigh…

That’s how many times spammers have tried unsuccessfully to post spam to my comments.

FAIL.

They keep trying to spam me at my e-mail address too.

I report it via SpamCop and they get busted in under a minute.

You’d think they’d learn.

Spamming an address in the ’spamcop’ domain has to rate right up there with sniffing glue.

This YouTube video chronicles a new and horribly-degrading practice.

Blogger sweatshops.

The humanity.

When Insults Had Class

There was a time when words were used beautifully. These glorious insults are from an era when cleverness with words was still valued, before a great portion of the English language was boiled down to four-letter words!

Lady Astor: “If you were my husband, I’d give you poison,”
Winston Churchill: “If you were my wife, I’d take it.”

Gladstone, a Member of Parliament, to Benjamin Disraeli:
“Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease.”
“That depends, sir,” said Disraeli, “On whether I embrace your policies or your mistress.”

“He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.”
—Oscar Wilde

“I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend… if you have one.”

Funniest bit of video I’ve seen in a decade. Sean Hannity literally running away from angry Ron Paul supporters after FOX blocked Paul from participating in the GOP debate. While the disintegration of the Republican party is sometimes sad and filled with pathos, watching this vicious bully being pursued by his own kind of mad dogs is simply funny beyond words. Karma is such a lovely thing sometimes and oh so poetic.

Now I know what my cat brought in, back in college in CA…

At first I thought it was a crude, motorized toy…

Quite horrified when I realized it wasn’t!!

Swear to God I heard Outer Limits music.

They are here, mankind is doomed.

AAAIIIGGGH!!!!!!!!!!

Oooh!!! We’re picking labels? I’ll take ‘American’ and ‘Citizen’ and ‘Taxpayer’. Chris, I’m sure there’s a ‘Wounded Creative’ one in the box for ya. Go nuts. (wrong tense?)

(Chris’ response)

Regardless of what some of those clowns at eastboco said, I had your email address from the below exchange a while back from when you wrote ME, forgot about it. I’m not going to waste everyones time in YourHub sorting this out, and I don’t care what you or your buddies think about me, I really dont but I think there’s one thing you have totally wrong.  This “Wounded Creative”, as in creationist?  Is that what you’re going for?  Seriously, I am so far from a bible thumper.  You think a holy roller would fire back with my politically incorrect zingers?  Think about it.  You want to go after me, fine, but at least have this fact straight.

If you werent going for that, not sure what is “wounded” as people on your side of this issue (at eastboco) are making you all look like asses.  You don’t strike me as a dumb guy, and you obviously will do whatever you want and think will help your cause friendly advice, this aint it.  Ripping on me has absolutely no effect on this issue, I have no horse in this race, Pedrow and DelVecchio pretty much hates my living guts (if anyone really read my website, they’d know it), Lifebridge probably doesn’t like my aggressive language, but I didnt ask, and they dont know me.  It’s a principle thing.  And to infer I’m in bed with the city in some way, or part of some inner circle, or whatever else dreamt up is so far from reality it’s insulting.  Those types may exist, but I aint one of em, not by a longshot. But I can take the shots if you don’t believe that, this part of my life is easy.

But this will be over sometime soon in the future, and it wasn’t all that long ago when the same people taking shots at me now were asking me to help in other causes, like that funeral home situation and some other stuff.  Yeah, I got a pretty long memory. It doesnt appear I blew you off when you asked me about the airport complaint logs where I didnt have to remove peoples addresses and phone numbers, yet Zweck gets tossed up like some victim?  The same guy who threatened to shoot me and was warned by the police or face serious consequences?  That guy?  Oh and the potshots taken at my house around the same time, and threats by adult children of high up city staff people, and traceable email virus attacks, traced to city IP’s? That enough to convince you that you need a different tack than “city lapdog”?

If not, these kinds of games arent new to me and I know how to deal with them.

Adios, Chris

Our friends Marty and Kate Beier are delightfully twisted people.

After several years of sharing adjoining campground properties, we finally installed a (slightly used) outbuilding that was immediately christened ‘Wizzengard’ due to it’s tall stature.

During a recent visit I discovered that the Beiers had finally added the crowning touch - a sign complete with a miniature Saruman holding a palantir.

Delightfully twisted.
