1. Justin is a co-leader of the Pennsylvania SCA, and from what I've heard and read, an appropriate appointment. Why are these A-holes condemning an appointment in a state they don't live in? Even if they do live there, tough beans, I don't like Dianne Feinstein, but most of CA approves of her as th...

So someone leaves property behind on a plane an Twatson just steals it?

I hear she used to be a magician.
If you leave booze around her, it disappears.
So it must be true.

When I was stationed in Germany many years ago, my group of friends all had nicknames. The usual, we had a "Tiny" because he was 6'5" and we had an "asshole" because it rhymed with his last name. And we had a couple of what the fems now call "chill girls", one of whom got named "Maxwell". She didn't...

If you're american, make sure you actually wait until the kettle fucking boils. I think Hitch got this stereotype of Americans not boiling water for tea started. I think he frequented restaurants where they give you that little pot of warm water and a cup with a tea bag. I've been in restaurants in...

When I was at uni a few decades ago, one of my friends had just got her black belt awarded in our martial arts class, so we went to a bar to celebrate. As we were walking by the bar (her leading the way), some jerk groped her crotch from behind. She grabbed his hand, turned fingers upward and whacke...

The guy that used to own my house (20 years ago) sold it and moved to another town, where his wife murdered him and their son and burned the house down with the bodies in it. Five years before I bought this house, the guy next door's wife stabbed him and lit his house on fire and drove away. He was ...

No shit, Sherlock.

Hey, Abbie said she was thinking about Watson while in the shower, I don't think that's a mentally healthy thing to do (for anyone). Think about Watson, then shower (just my recommendation).

If you're thinking of Watson while you're in the shower, you're doing something wrong.... :shock:

make any sense....it doesn't make any sense without that too.

Of course, this won't any since one that spam gets deleted but,
when I was in High School, I had a friend who called his dads new wife the "step stool". It became a meme with a lot of really dirty jokes involved. I think the jokes got him through having to live with her for two years.

I did some training with the 6th JÃ¤gerbrigade (Austrian Mountain Infantry) one time (in the 70's) and boy did they have some cool cammies. I tried my damndest to get a set, but couldn't manage it. They had a leaf pattern with various colored leaves, including bright red. Very cool. I'm sure they're...

lonesagi Mordacious1, I have to ask (out of curiosity) what govt/branch did you serve in? I was US Army Infantry, 4 years. (No, I never saw combat. Many of my friends did, however.) I was also Army, almost 13 years. I worked mostly counter intelligence and was "attached" to several units (including ...

Laden's "soldier-rape-switch" analogy cited by Steffy? So I dropped by Stuffy's blog to see what this was about. Was Laden ever in the military? Combat? Or did he just study the campaigns of Ghengis Khan in order to come up with that analogy? My personal experience is, during wartime, when soldiers...

I really do think something funny's happened to the Prune. She's got quite a (WoolyBumble)bee in her bonnet about this: http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterfliesandwheels/2012/09/photoshopped-again/ And claims it's, erm...bullying. Does Feelya not know what satire is? Does she think politicians are a...

Neil Young did this quite often, but was at least honest enough to title one "Borrowed Tune" aka "Lady Jane".

If we're the misogynists...why are all our mods women? And strong independent, take-no-prisoners women at that. And everyone here is fine with that...seems like a contradiction.

I'm a little behind in reading posts, so this question might be dusty: Does Ron Lindsey at CFI rub anyone here (besides me) the wrong way? He appears like a decent chap, but seems to be on the wrong side of several issues concerning atheism and secularism. Also, he criticizes people who I think are ...

Frozen is most always prefered to live, as it eliminates the risks of injury to the snake. Doesn't eliminate the risk of injuries to the human, though (both Ali and I got bitten while feeding). I hope you have a feeding box (large plastic box with lid and with newspaper or paper bag on the bottom)....

Gumby said: Some moron named Ben Goren said in that thread: I respect Ben Goren's intellect very much. He's a regular poster on WEIT and consistently creates insightful commentary, hardly a moron.

Mordalicious: We fed Dexter yesterday, and he molded this morning. I've read that corn snakes get a nasty appetite just after they shed. Do you think I should feed him again today?

Has anyone seen this post by Jerry Coyne? http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2012/09/08/dawkins-on-creationism-and-evolution-a-cnn-interview/#comments The comment at the end of his post is priceless: In the comments section below, please stick to the interview and topics covered by Dawkins.

I don't have time to make a long post, but did want to add my condolences to Phil. It may be sad that she died in your arms, but where better? When my mother was dying at 49 years of age (colon cancer) the military gave me extended leave to go home and take care of her (which was nice of them since ...

Two questions (don't take it too personally): Is English your first language, and for fuck's sake, is your avatar at Jerry's a Corn Snake or not?!? People need to know!!! (Sorry, Lulz mode today) I've been up for 40 hours straight, so I barely have any linguistic abilities left, and I'm too tired t...

Also, I've feeling kind of guilty all day after I read that Wowbagger post about hoping someone really dies in a fire. The first thought that popped into my head was that I hope he wasn't standing next to OB, because she go up like a dried up christmas tree (hangs head in shame).

NOT IN MY BLOODY NAME HE DOESN'T! This is giving all Philips on the Internet a bad name - I shall hunt down this hebetudinous individual and disagree with him til he runs screaming from the internet! I saw that Phillip over there and said to myself "NO, IT CAN'T BE". Had to make a cup of PG to calm...

I'm thinking that the one person who is most upset that Jen flounced is RW. It was probably on her tactics list, but Jen beat her to it. Now she has to decide to hop on the "me too" bandwagon (which gets fewer sympathy points) or wait 6 months when it might not get any points at all. She already sai...

So if Jen quits for a while, and RW gets mouthier, does that mean RW will have to double her efforts of explaining that sciencey stuff to us morons? I hope so, because the more science I get from experts, the smarter I feel.

On that "Uncle Mary" link, there was this: Post 78 Greg Laden 14 December 2011 at 8:27 pm JT: Twice in my life have my employerâ€™s received complaints for my blogging.

Trophy I understand your points about PZ's online/offline behavior. Possible. But have you ever noticed how he goes to, let's call it an "unfriendly to PZ blog" and makes an obnoxious post or two and then disappears. Then he goes back to his blog where he's surrounded by sycophants and continues the...

Think the mods at RD.net will let this go? http://richarddawkins.net/news_articles/2012/9/3/egypt-s-sexual-harassment-of-women-epidemic#comment-638669261 This one? http://atheiststoday.com/images/dw_adams/mordacious1.jpg The mods finally woke up and deleted me. I'm sure OB complained since she post...

You know what really bugs the hell out of me about PZ? And this is not anything new, I'm sure most people that don't like him feel the same. But it's the way he is constantly telling people to "Fuck Off" or calls them names like "asshole" or whatever. Then you meet him face to face, he couldn't be a...

Skeeve

Yup. I've already got accused of trying to start an ugly argument by QK. I see it as a simpler version of Dear Muslima.

RD.net seems to be having problems with their links, the comment I was referring to was #9.

Think the mods at RD.net will let this go?

Kind of looks like him around the eyes.

Ophelia hasn't been told that the new policy of A+theism is that if you have any complaints, of harassment or mistreatment, you should send all documentation to Justin Vacula's mother.

What Justin is dealing with is harassment Ophelia...grow up. (But it's all about MEEEEEEEEEEE!).

@ConcentratedH2O, OM

Okay, I suppose I can put up with it if it keeps money out of PZ's porn fund.

Why is it that every time I click on a FfTB link from this forum, my anti-virus software blocks the link due to "known site for dangerous downloads"?

One of you guys getting lulz? It just started happening a day or two ago. If I go there directly, there's no problem. Weird.

August 29, 2012 at 6:04 pm PZ Myers The busy beavers have been hard at work and have provided a complete transcript of that discussion between Jen McCreight, Rebecca Watson, Louis, Brownian, and me on Atheism+. Thanks! Well I hope the "busy beavers" aren't female. That would be like breaking the 11...

I'd love to sneak the picture of Dawkins onto RD.net

I started following online atheism several years ago and Paula Kirby has always been one of my favorite people. She's well spoken and sharp as a tack (and her writing style is very appealing). Not that she can't be criticized, she's a big girl and can handle herself. It seems to me that lesser minds...

So, when they say no to rape jokes, does that just include "legitimate rape"?

Uh oh, did I just make a rape joke? I meant it as political satire...really!

You'll notice that when PeePee organizes these podcasts, he never invites someone with an opposing view. Just like their blogs. I think if someone on the podcast was to go off-script, their skype would suddenly go blank. At least Faux News occasionally has someone that gives the other side. These gu...

Well, I do sometimes question any blog that allows me to post. [/sarcasm]

Back when elevatorgate first happened, I dropped every penny I could scrape up into Orville Redenbacher stock. I'd like to thank the people at Fftb for making it possible for me to retire early. Especially you PeeZus, you're da man!

Dawkins stands up for Harris (nicely though):

wicknight has once again proven that if you try to reason with a mob, you will get flamed by the torches. Ophelia will always respond that someone said that if they were a girl, they'd kick her. Not much of a threat really. Like: if I was a pine cone, I'd drop on your head the next time you were in ...

So PeePee has a thread where you can post anything about him and then he'll delete it within 24 hours. I thought that was already his MO.

Guys! Don't do this.

So as long as I'm using Ad Block Plus, PeePee makes no revenue? I've been avoiding his site like the plague so he doesn't get a penny, but I do have ABP.

Yeah, it's turning into a Dan Brown novel over at PeePee's. Weird stuff, secret coded messages, the High Priest making subtle threats. I'm glad I bought the big box of Orville Redenbacher at Costco yesterday.

Actually, if someone is following you around a conference including up to your hotel room even after you've asked them to go away and leave you alone, tell hotel security and/or police and they will act on it. They take stalking seriously.

My two favorite quotes from OB on RD.net: Ophelia Benson: I like it even less when I say can't we criticize the article without using sexist epithets? And people defend the use of sexist epithets. This drives me nuts, but it happens over and over again â€“ including among atheists. I have this perha...

I have a feeling that the reason PeePee is having a meltdown, is that "the back channel" has been lighting up with complaints. I remember back when RD.net was more free wheeling (nothing like pharwrongula though), there were certain people constantly emailing him about sexism and sexist language on ...

This is how Poland got invaded. When megalomaniacs' delusional fantasies of power are threatened and they lose it. :shock:

BarnOwl

That is so friggin' funny. PeeZee has banned everyone, now they're eating each other. Too bad most atheists don't read the comments over there anymore. It's a real eye-opener. :lol:

I saw an older woman walking around with a T-shirt with a picture of a nail file on the front. I've never seen anything so rude.

On the back it stated: I feel safe with my MAN-icure. What a misogynist, with no feelings for Abbie whatsoever.
