“Do not repeat back to me what I just said in different fucking words!”
– Al Swearengen hosts a ‘board’ meeting, “Deadwood”
“I’ll try touching the moon before working on a whore’s thinking.”
– Al, about Trixie, “Deadwood”
“Hey Reverend, you could have just said amen.”
– Al, after the Reverend has a seizure, “Deadwood”
“You might, Dan, learn to indicate interest in a girl without murdering someone.”
– Al to Dan, “Deadwood”
:::More quotes below:::
“I wouldn’t trust a man who wouldn’t try to steal a little.”
– Al Swearengen, about EB’s dealings, “Deadwood”
“Be in my joint in 2 hours. We’re forming a f*cking government!”
– Al to EB, “Deadwood”
“I’m declaring myself conductor of this meeting as I have the bribe sheet.”
– Al, founding father of “Deadwood”
Now, let’s see. We have Al’s “fucking words,” and then we have Al’s “f*cking government.” Did you miss excising a “u” or miss restoring a “u”?
“Deadwood.” The first year was intriging, interesting. Now, it’s astonishingly good. It’s by far the best on TV. Morality (of the real-world, complex kind, not the religious right simplifierd parody of morality), politics, economics, racism, divided loyalities, f*cking, love–and some of the best writing ever done for the small screen.
It is simply unbelievably good. Thanks for the quotes.
Check out my diary over yonder apiece… in Recent Diaries. There’s a quote from a great conversation-style piece on Deadwood — it’s a fun read.
I went over yonder. I read. And now, having read, I have returned from over yonder and am presently, though not permanently, here. I thank you for the directions to yonder and the read that awaited me there.
Denver, huh. You one of them rich banker c–ks—kahs?
Why, no ma’am, and I am highly surprised that a lady of such fine distinction as yourself could ever mistake a personage such as my humble self who toils, as do so many others in this f-cking locale, to make an honest living, more or less, for one of them rich bankers of the c–ks–kin’ inclination.
Public notice: Until further notice, all posts in this and all other threads will henceforth be made in Deadwoodese.
You one of them hoopleheads come here to make your fortune and blow every last goddamn cent in the Gem? Or the Chezzzzzzzzzzzz Ami? Huh?
Here. Wanna sip uh my bottle? And where is that frog face f–k that runs this sorry excuse of a joint?
The frog face f-ck of whom you so colorfully speak appears, at the moment, to be away from the premises but will, I am quite sure, return forthwith and be in a f-ckin’ state to see his joint highjacked, as it were, by individuals such as our sorry selves.
But, seein’ as you bring the Chez Amie to mention, I do believe that over there mojo is being doled in plenteous amounts, and I may be of a mind to avail myself of some of that.
That frog face f–k’s been here. Didn’t ya see him? Up yonder. Carryin’ on with that Eleanora ’bout some rules or community somethin’ or uther or some such fuckin’ thing.
Am I supposed to call you a whore now?
I just can’t do it.
Jane isn’t a whore on the show although, from the histories I’ve read, it is believed that the real Jane practiced that trade at times. (Hope you don’t mind the frog face f–k line — it cracked me up when Jane yelled that at the commissioner, who you do not resemble even remotely in mind or deed, ‘cept for that frog logo up yonder).
you’re a fucking drunk. I am not afraid to call you that!
Not only that, but I have the real suspicion that he rearranged everything in the piss-poor joint and moved us down here to the cellar, when we was up there on top of this here thread.
Some of us have been discussing the idea of a diary on BooTrib community standards. Maybe you’d prefer to start that off yourself or have a front pager lead the discussion? If not, I’m willing to do one. The idea is a friendly meta-discussion about our own comment preferences, how we handle disagreements, and how we see the BooTrib community. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
If you’d like to start a diary about it that would be nice.
I’ll try to participate. But I am kinda busy doing business related activities to make this a more successful site, and attract a new influx of readers.
My only input or advice:
Remember that we are the pioneers here, and we can’t be unrealistic about keeping it so friendly when we grow larger. It’s a goal, but the culture will inevitably change, in some ways we won’t like, and in others that we will love.
The guiding principle is still spelled out in the FAQ under: “If I don’t consider myself a Democrat, am I welcome at the site?”
Also, remember Galiel was banned for publishing private material that was embarrassing to one of our users here, and that I had told him explicitly why I had edited out. He was not banned for anything else he did.
And DavidByron was not banned, but invited to leave voluntarily.
I’ll be interested in what y’all have to say.
Thanks!
Is a much more preferable method of maintaining one’s health.
I’m goin’ to go sleep this off a bit and watch me some uh that television you hoopleheads all got. I’m goin’ to check out some Teevee show about Deadwood here. ‘magine that.
For making the following tactless and snark-infested comment. It’s been a long time since I’ve been troll rated. I’m so proud.
that Hannity like to hire whores to dress up in nun’s uniforms and pour hot candle wax on his balls.
Pretty funny!!!!Did you lose control!!!!haha
Maybe we should troll rate you here for posting that. ha ha again.
I think I’ll do a diary and call for a troll posse to come here and troll rate you and then you can do a diary about how you were attacked, ok.
Did you see Kos’s interview last night on cspan.
The amount of sanctimonious PC pepperspraying on dKos never ceases to astound. The place would make Swedish radical feminists proud.
By the way, could you tell me how my Congo entry is looking in IE after I removed the first slidebar?
It looks beautiful.
Swedish radical feminists?
You Norwegians are so critical. Heh.
Did you receive my email early this morning? I had to divide it into PART I & II due to size limit at verizon.net. Please confirm. Thank you.
Oui – Liberté – Egalité – Fraternité
and I started to look at them. I have a lot of email, and figured I’d set aside some time a little later to look into them in detail.
Can you share your general findings for the group?
It’s your call — you have the initiative on this one for a main diary.
… or else tell me to go ahead and publish.
Oui – Liberté – Egalité – Fraternité
Oh yeah. But between us: if you ever encounter a Swedish radical feminist – RUN. (Or arm yourself, or pretend to be a lesbian female. But running is safer.)
Re: Congo: if you have a minute to spare, would you mind resizing that pic you posted in a comment? At least in my browser it displays as kind of huge.
I could erase the comment. Actually Susan has figured out how to do that, but I haven’t.
But I can’t edit it. I should have realized that copying your url was not enough, I needed to size it.
OK, please erase it then, if you can do it. Otherwise, no big deal.
Thanks!
It should be erased.
On my diary there yesterday that I’d just as soon forget about if you don’t mind, thank you very much, someone got blasted in a long string of comments, and troll-rated, for using the term “sweetheat” with reference to women.
As someone who was pinched on the tush by a state senator when she was a page in the state legislature, I say there are bigger things to worry about than the word sweetheart.
Uhoh … CNN’s got a story about a man with two suitcases who’s exhibiting “suspicious behavior” near the Capitol building … I must go. Later. I hope CNN goes back to the hostage story soon.
Our next new user will be number 600. Ding-ding-ding.
a number in the high 500’s, good, I am so happy the numbers are rising.
I check your site meter quite often and very much like seeing time zone part and get an idea of where members here are located. East coast wins so far.
By the way, have you heard from Avila lately? She was one of my absolute favorites on dKos, but has gone completely dark since February or thereabouts. The homepage is gone, too.
She’s a big fan of your writings. How about shooting her an e-mail (if you know her address) and inviting her to join, however rarely she’s going to post?

all for reasons as individual as the diarists, but a shout out to the Boo Man. I lurked for over a year before registering, and was too shy to post until he lured me in with Iran Contra, Mohammad Atta and Sibel Edmonds . . . . . I felt like I’d found a long-lost friend. Thanks, Boo.
by Avila on Sat Jan 22nd, 2005 at 07:05:00 EST
she hasn’t posted since two days after the above post.
She does have a listed email in her dKos profile. I guess I’ll invite her.
And right now, lest you forget! 😉
