Get a thicker skin, or get the HELL outta Dodge City!

I’m not going to waste my bandwidth (or your time) linking to Pocono Crybaby’s recent rant about us outlaws in the wild west and how some joke of a legislation in New Jersey is going to curb all anonymous postings and blogging and protect people supposedly being slandered and defamed…

The readers digest version is: He’s cheering it on because he doesn’t want to be criticized. Any form of criticism to him is “slander”. End of story. I’m not allowed to call him a moron and a crybaby… even doing it here under my REAL name.

I know. Sick, right?

First of all, there is no way in HELL this bill is going to pass. If “Mr. Renegade Blogger” had half a brain and a little experience outside of his pathetic little world, he’d KNOW we’ve been though this over and over… Continue reading “Get a thicker skin, or get the HELL outta Dodge City!”

Kinja Cards? How cool!

I just stumbled on this trying to find out what the hell happened to Reverend Mykeru…

Kinja Card for WHUZZUP – It’s… it’s…
Well, I don’t know what it is, but it’s pretty cool! And it ties in to Technorati, Way Back Machine, Alexa and all sorts of goodies. Continue reading “Kinja Cards? How cool!”

Spamming spammers and the spam that they spam me with

You know. Maybe if I didn’t spend hours cleaning up all the comment spam on this site, I’d actually have time to post something here for my tens of ones of fans here.

When you’ve had a blog since 1998 (oh yeah baby, a YEAR before Blogger came out, I’m ahead of my time!) you have a BONANZA of places to leave comments if you’re a spammer.

Oh, and by the way. I hate comments. I think they’re the WORST thing to happen to blogs. Instead of someone commenting on something I said here on THEIR blog (thereby their readers come here…) now, they come here comment and that’s that. Where’s the community now???

I’m noticing a trend. They seem to home in on select posts as obviously the spambots know it’s a safe place to leave their crap.

So now I lock each post as they come in. (HA HA! *Gives the spammers the finger in defiance*)
The spam is *already* dying down.

If there is anyone who knows how to beat ANYONE at their own game…
… it’s me. 😀

Who the hell is Buttom Mutton???

So I get the disturbing news in my guestbook the “Bad news everyone! I’m afraid that Buttom Mutton accidentally walked off the jetty and got drowned!”

I do a google seach and see some annoying dude posting “Hello,I’m button muttom!” over and over and fucking over.

Was that him?
I’m GLAD he’s dead then!

As the Rev’s says these days (on a similar, yet unrelated note)…
ANVILS AWAY

Saddam offers “soul” to Arabs

(My initial thought when reading that headline was “he has a soul”???)

Saddam says he’d offer his life for Arab cause
In letter, ex-dictator would sacrifice “soul, very existence” to end occupation

AMMAN – Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has said in a letter he would sacrifice himself for Arab nationalism and to end foreign occupation.

He’s kidding, right? This is the same guy that talked his head off right up until the Iraq War… then went into hiding until soldiers pulled him up from a spider hole six months later looking like a derelict??!!?

I mean, look… my views on the Iraq War aside, this guy is a douchebag.

Yeah, we armed him to fight Iran. We installed the Baath party in the 60’s and he’s been on the CIA payroll ever since, and he was “our” douchebag.

But he’s still a douchebag.

He has long praised Palestinian militants waging suicide attacks against Israeli targets.

See what I mean?

I would have preferred a CIA Op putting a bullet in his skull (and his crazy ass sons) rather than launch an illegal war… but either way, I find it hard to feel sorry for this guy.

WAAAAAAAAAH, Saddam!

Totse.Com – My suicide note

I must be jaded or twisted… but the responses on their message board to this guy who just announced he’s committing suicide are hilarious!

For example:

You posted after he’d already killed himself on purpose just so you would look like a good person but know you wouldn’t have to actually help. Genius.

Oh, the drama…

Studies in Misanthropy

The Blogosphere has probably got the biggest collection of Misanthropic dumbasses. Ever.

Yes. People suck. Most (not all) people are a waste of your time, energy and resources… but still, why do bloggers expect cyberspace to be any warmer and more cordial than the real world?

The message boards are no better. I’ve been studying this one guy who posts in one section dedicated to “Shameless Self-promotion”, contributes nothing anywhere else in the message board, encourages no one, and is the BIGGEST complainer when no one responds to him!

Boo. Effing. Hoo.

A-Lists have come and gone in the blog world… but there is always that “lesser person” out there who expects the entire world to link to them and shower this loser with adulation when they can only talk about the least-interesting subject in the world… THEMSELVES.

In case you didn’t learn this lesson when you were five: “If you want a friend, you have to BE a friend.” Same with the world of blogs… if you want people to visit your site regularly, you have to visit other people regularly.

Dumbasses.

Hello. My name is Eric, and I am a DUMBASS.

[Crowd] “Hiiiiiii Eric!”

I’m not sure how i did it, but it was a screwup of “I Love Lucy” proportions.
I managed to wipe out my whole site, changed my password so I couldn’t get back in….

And it took two days for me to figure it out because I thought my site was still propagating.

It’s all fixed now, and I don’t think I can do that again if I tried.

Perhaps it’s for the best that the last post is lost forever, too. It was getting ugly between me, Len and another unnamed party. We said things that I’m sure we were gonna regret in the long run.

Lots of stuff going on and I will fill you in after a brief word from our sponsor….
[Cue “I Love Lucy” theme song….]

Ripping off is the shittiest form of flattery

THE REAL JOHN KERRY CONCESSION SPEECH

I don’t know how long this guy will keep this post up after I called him/her a fucking thief in a Yahoo club this evening. Sure it was funny. I laughed almost as hard as when I read the same thing on Fanatical Apathy on November 3rd.
Continue reading “Ripping off is the shittiest form of flattery”

Surfing the post-election blogosphere

Oy. What a mess.
So much for us all being back to normal after November 3rd, huh?

I’ve thought long and hard on what to say about all the bitterness, sniping, gloating, attacking, crazy talk, suicides and threats going on.

Here goes….
Imagine us all agreeing on every single thing…

Linking only to people who share our views and our values and our opinions….

Reading page after page of people who think exactly like us…

Would that suck ass, or what? 🙂
I’d be bored to fucking tears in a half hour flat.
