I just want to make this clear.
donkeytale does not speak for me, even though he’s been appointed spokesman to the Booman Tribune as he explains to us today in his diary: The Booman Tribune Responds to the DailyKos
I started reading his diary today and I couldn’t believe that Booman had appointed this clown ambassador of Boomanistan. I thought, “What is Booman thinking?”. Donkeytale couldn’t write his way out of a paper bag with an exacto knife! How could such a thing happen?
First of all, if Booman picks anyone to broker a peace between the boomantribune and dailykos, it should be Meteor Blades. Why do I think so? Well I think that 25,892,032 4’s speak for themselves, don’t you?
[Update by Brian Nowhere on 061606 at 1700 hours and counting] Well I finally realized after about six or seven hours of heavily straining my brain that donkeytale’s diary was his idea of a joke and that he really is not the appointed spokesman for Booman. Man I was really starting to wonder about Booman’s sanity there for a while.
Since I’m here, I’d just like to take this opportunity to say to to donkeytale, “GO AWAY…NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE”.
If you want to stay here, you better learn to write serious diaries like everybody else. Why don’t you try tackling important issues?
You may think I’m joking, but while I was busy trying to decipher your stupid ramblings today, real news was happening like, Whaling nations suffered setbacks in effort to overturn hunting ban and Maiosts joined the interim govt. in Nepal but obviously you don’t care about current events do you donkeytale?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooo You have to write your snarky little non-funny, unserious, clam eating, high top wearing, no bow tie wearing, fiddle faddle munching, sticky pad posting, calender girl ogling, Pearl jam listening, fotomat film developing, Rosie O’Donell defending, macaroni sculpture making, bananna waving diaries and subject the rest of us serious bloggers to bearing witness to their irrelevant content.
Please donkeytale, just start realizing that this is not fark.com. This is a serious political website and there is just no place for your brand of humor here.
At boomantribune we don’t like humor unless it has a u in it ie: humour. Like the other day when someone posted a picture of a cute little kitten hanging on to a branch for dear life and the caption said, “Hang in there”. Man that was humourous. I wish I could have given that poster two 4’s for their efforts.
Don’t you see? If citizen journalists or the Hip Hop Caucus ever stumbled across your brand of “humorous” writing, Booman would never hear the end of it. He’d be the laughingstock of the blogosphere, the Seinfeld of Cyberspace.
In short donkey tale, just stop it. Stop it right now.
Don’t make me call your mother, donkette.
You’re new here Brian. If you think I am intolerant of silliness or worry about being associated with things that might be embarrassing, you haven’t been paying too much attention. I did get tired over the overkill on Armando and I don’t care for personal attacks. They aren’t censored though, provided they are done within the rules.
I do not have a lot of sympathy for those banned Kossacks that are caught in the Catch-22 rule. Donkeytale gets banned everywhere he goes. He breaks the rules. He was banned as Illusion of Magicians, not he has been banned as Donkeytale. He wasn’t banned for being funny and irreverent. He was banned for being a serial prick.
Ask the community if you have any questions about what is and is not acceptable here. I’m very tolerant of comments and diaries that I find annoying. I give plenty of fair warning, and often second and third chances to people that violate the rules.
But, we just can’t let the site permit abusive or disrespectful posters because it is disruptive and annoying. Donkeytale reverted to type after a brief attempt to act within the rules.
Even his violation of the Catch-22 rule didn’t get him banned. Being a dick to supersoling after he went out of his way to get him reinstated is what did it.
I’ve adopted him over at nowhereweb.
I really do like what writing I’ve read from him so far. I haven’t witnessed him being a prick.
Anyway, the only rule at nowhereweb. is NO PUPPY PICS, so I think he’ll do fine.
Did you really boot him again?
I never in a million years, thought I would be glad to read that someone was booted!
I just spent a little while going through his comments and diaries and I did not find one inflammatory comment or diary.
Please site a specific example.
I just spent a goodly ammount of time searching through his comments and diaries for something that is out of bounds or rude even and i didn;t find anything at all.
Perhaps I missed something, but I just don’t get what you don’t like about him. IMHO he has some of the funniest and most original insights I’ve seen here.
he has some of the funniest and most original insights I’ve seen here
Name one of these insights, please.
You–
complex explorer of
the polyrhythmic
underside
and dirty toenails
Me–
no musical ear
stuck inside
a barbed wire
shithouse
nowhere
by donkeytale
That is fuckin brilliant. To me anyway.
So, what’s the insight?
Please don’t say, “Well, if you don’t see it, what can I say?” That’s the oldest and cheapest cop-out there is.
More an example of originality, but here goes:
This I take as donkeytale talking about the intellgent
and serious writers who contribute to this website.
It’s a compliment.
This I take as donkeytale referring to himself. Offbeat, not wanting to write what’s already been written here by the former a thousand times, but still, he’s living in the shit(house) built by Bush like the rest of us and wishes to express himself.
I could be way off, but it’s poetry and I hate to say it, but if you can’t see it, “what can I say”?
I’m still looking for the insight. And as poetry, it doesn’t strike me as so good. Too obvious. (Obvious before your commentary.)
Try again.
So obviously because you don’t like it it must be a piece of shit right? Because you are the arbiter of what’s insightful and what’s not. No…not an arbiter.
You’re the decider.
Good thing Zappa knew better than to listen to people like you. Probably never even woulda made it to Hot Rats.
For people who aren’t supposed to be acting like pricks, there sure are a lot of…
Well if yu don’t know where I’m going with that, well then, “What can I say”?
And you’re working overtime to join the list, it seems.
Look, you like DT’s work, and that’s your absolute right. The majority of us don’t. We don’t find him funny or insightful, and laughing at him is cheap amusement. He’s not disruptive because things need to be shaken up, he’s disruptive because it gets attention — he, like W, has to be the center of attention, or he’ll start dropping bombs on the people who don’t care about him. Unlike W, DT’s essentially inconsequential, but it’s still irritating to deal with when you’re trying to do other things.
But you like him, so he’s your puppy now. Take him home, feed him, look after him, (get him his shots and his medication).
Most of us, I think, will wish you joy of him.
But keep him in your yard, okay?
Most of us don’t really want to deal with his waste products here.
I’m sorry, but I keep picturing the character Donkey from the “Shrek” movies every time I read this thread and it’s just funnier than hell. Donkey is Eddie Murphy’s best role…
your apology.
And all along I believed that I had been appointed. Glad that’s been clarified.
Appointed? Hell, that’s nothing. All along I thought I was annointed.
Too much W goin’ on.
Damn, I you got me again!
I like the fact that, as a result of Supersoling’s reply to Donkeytale’s swan song diary, we learned the crucial difference between CUDDLING someone’s ass and CODDLING someone’s ass.
Which is something we can all apply in the real world!
Also, it was rather funny that Donkeytale labored under the delusion that ARMINIUS was trying to curry favor with Booman.
ARMINIUS. Yeah, somebody’s not been paying attention. Arminius is the John Wayne of Booman Tribune…in a left wing sort of way.
I’ve been playing a computer game and didn’t see that till 3:30 a.m. He he. Almost worth waking my wife up for that! “The John Wayne of Booman Tribune.” Yahoo! Definitely worth a 4.
