Who's this Gefan person?

Ah, fuck, very sad about Hoffman. He was one of my most favourite actors. Damn, damn, damn. He was exceptional. As for Avi, bhoytony said: He's already in India isn't he? Who the fuck knows. According to his own nonsense statements, he's everywhere -- India, England, South America, et al. As for his...

Thanks Andrew.

I am being tasked, tasked I say, over at Eddy's blog (http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatches/2014/01/30/marcotte-pretty-much-destroys-hannity/#comment-298711) to provide citations/proof that Amanda Marcotte thinks rape laws should be changed so that all men accussed of rape are considered guilty unt...

BoyToy (just joshin' ya) said: And what are you going to watch? I've just opened a bottle of wine, got some goulash ready and am going to watch All Is lost which fits in with my sunny disposition.

Wow! My first fourfer.

I am going to have red wine and pizza for din-dins tonight.

And watch a couple of movies.

Old ones.

Or maybe new ones.

I don't know yet.

Exciting, isn't it.

Wait, wait, isn't this Twatter?

Speaking of degrees, I find it endlessly fascinatin' that if anyone other than a TFB/Skepchick/SJL blog host or commenter has a degree, any degree, from anywhere, it means nothing, absolutely nothing.

Butterbeers and Wizards.

Blo-jobs and Wannabees.

Blophelias and Wibbles

I suspect that my opinion on this matter is, well, of not much interest; nonetheless, I would like to say, for the record, that I am increasingly of the opinion that our OverLoard, ROBBOKiTTeh, is a rather profound, and highly interesting rhetorician.

'struth.

So, John D, if I understand you correctly, you're saying that to save Free Speech we must first destroy Free Speech.

Hmm.

OK.

Whatever.

Jack Skeptic said something quite important (http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=158181#p158181), that I think it would behoove all of us to at least keep in the back of our minds: ... unless [Myers] is directly responsible I hope things go no further for the simple reason I feel free spee...

So, what's the converse? This is not a comperhensive list, but it lists some of the more common terms. What should replace the question mark? penis / vagina guy / gal boy / girl cock / cunt dick / ? What's the converse? I ask, in part, because over at Ally's blog it appears that the phrase "dick fli...

I must admit that even despite the sensible comments by such as Gumbers and Steen, I am baffled by the Caine Mutiny / Inaji Resurection. I mean, no one, not a single person over there has even raised or batted a single furry eyebrow. Do they not even notice the nonsense of it all? Are they really so...

A couple of things: 1. The cute wee cowbeasty is not a heifer, it's a male, not a female, so it's either a steer, or a young bull (bullock). 2.

HAHAHA.

By the way Phil, belated B-day wishes.

I've begun to notice something rather curious over at Avi's blog -- Welch , you're the wise guy on this sort of thing, so maybe you can figure out whether I'm all conspiracy theory on this, or whether it is, well, something worth pondering. What seems to happen is that when Avi is clearly tired of t...

The Lord PeeZus defines the type of tone he wants on his blog:

Iâ€™d rather have a thousand angry profane women here than one superficially polite defender of his privilege. Thatâ€™s the â€˜toneâ€™ I want.

'nuff said.

This is a tad old, but I've never really cruised the Thunderdome before. I was curious to follow the Caine Mutiny -- where's Bogie when ya need him? Anyway, I found this description of Ally Fogg's blog from WMDKitty. She's posted some misandric nonsense on Ally's blog, but now she's cruising to have...

Wow. What an interesting not even 24 hours it has been. Carrier's enormous ego never fails to entertain. I mean, it's limitless. Bottomless? He is Intellectual Artillery. In molded green plastic.

Avi's at it again. Utterly and completely misunderstanding, misrepresenting, or ignoring what his non-supporters say. He's is also, yet again, claiming that he is banned from the Pit. link: http://freethoughtblogs.com/amilliongods/2014/01/16/the-memory-of-the-dead-matter-more-than-your-faith/comment...

Guestus said (http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... 52#p156652):

Sorry. I misworded. The points I was referring to were:

Um, I mean the same applies to Teh Welch.

Whoops.

Hmmm. The Net neutrality argument.... I have a lot of respect for teh Welch. Seriously, I do. I've learned a great deal from him, and despite our disagreements I have a lot of respect for him -- even though the silly fucker banned/blocked me from his blog.... PZ Welch? Hmmm. But, I must say I agree ...

Glorious.

Welchy, I hadn't heard of F-19 until it was several years after the graphics were too outdated, so to speak, and I just couldn't get into it. My loss.

Masakari , that was a good set for sure. I had that HOTAS for several years before I made the mistake of buying the Cougar. I mean, the Cougar looked great, felt fantastic, and was endlessly programmable, but the issue with the pots was a total deal breaker. The only way to fix it was too expensive...

Oh, forgot: Masakari , which model of Thrustmaster do you have? I started with the old basic three (four?) button joystick and its matched lumpy throttle back in '96, and updated/moved on to each newer model they released. The only one I have not owned or used is the current HOTAS Warthog model, but...

Over the years, my top five faves were: 1. Falcon 4 2. F-15 Strike Eagle III (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-15_Strike_Eagle_III) 3.

Whoops.

Lastly, I've noticed that I am often quoted from older Pharyngula and other TFB blogs from the past (I suspect I may have posted more comments on TFB blogs than anyone else here -- except, perhaps, for the mighty Steers).

Speaking of nice smiles from strangers (http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=155986#p155986), I was walking down the street the other day when, yet again, for the third or fourth time in the last 12 months or so, a young woman smiled at me.

I too love the fish comics, and yes, I too think they are one of the funniest things on the Pit -- certainly the funniest serial.

Pitchy said:

Does anyone know what the hell she's on about?

Nope. Not me. I suspect she doesn't either, but she saw some Pitters daring to trespass on an TFB blog and she just felt compelled to launch some kind of attack, even if it is meaningless.

Over at Ally Fogg's blog (http://freethoughtblogs.com/hetpat/2014/01/11/im-only-writing-this-to-get-laid-or-am-i/#comment-30188), oolon the brave is claiming that Hensley never called anyone a chill girl (except maybe once).

For the record, Avi answered the question with this:

So, not Ireland. Where'd the Ireland meme come from anyway?

Here's a new take on it all, courtesy of Lucy at Ally's blog: Feminists essentially believe that women have been a colonised people since their inception. And like any other colonised people, their culture, language, personalities, bodies (through sex selection) have been irrevocably damaged and dis...

No. Lah-Den is the only male being on the planet who is pure. Remember, he always walks on the other side of the street when he sees one of them coming towards him.

Ach, Pro Tools is one of those things I love to hate and hate to love, so to speak, but it is fucking brilliant.

And, yes, the Clownvogs were brilliant and hilarious: kudos to the Gumbers.

Gefavreau, excellent as usual -- and congrats to Gumby and Chill Girl.

One small thing though, I could not understand what the squirrel said. Could you transcribe?

Anyway, keep up the great work, and maybe one day someone, somewhere, will remember your name.

Excellent, Strawkins; excellent.
