Anyone have a remedy for blog exhaustion aka snarkout? A day off yesterday doesn’t seem to have helped. Maybe it is just the depressing news cycle, but the administration is so detached from reality, they are screwing up so badly, and the body of work documenting this is now so exhaustive, that I’m struggling to tell the story in new and compelling ways.
In the meantime, we’re getting ready to move to more electoral coverage and activism after Labor Day.
I’d like to know who your Congressperson is and how we can help the Democrats win in your district.
Of course, frivolity is welcomed too.
One day? Pshaw! There is no real cure for snarkout. I’ve found that a month long course of not blogging, heavy drinking and video games can send it into remission for a while, but once you’re infected, it remains in your system forever. Sorry dude.
One word: Frolf.
yeah. you’re right. we should do that.
the course
But there are trees in the way…
trees schmees
Trees are the whole point. Changes in topography do little to challenge a flying disc–unless, of course, you choose to roll said disc.
Heh. I knew that would get you to de-lurk. 🙂
An evil ploy.
Well thought out and excecuted, though.
Ok, the link to view the course is blocked from here. I’m extremely disappointed.
Not as disappointed as I am at your slanderous use of a non-existant term, though, albert.
DISC GOLF – say it with reverence.
Heh. Disc golf it is. Just keeping the purists in check here. And I also just saw the infamous Frolf/Summer of George episode a few nights ago. Couldn’t help myself.
Well, that’s ok. You’re forgiven–and thanks for the link.
You know, most people evolve from frisbee football to the higher form of disc sport eventually. So there is hope for you yet.
“higher form of disc sport” eh? heh. ultimate is king of disc sports! that is being said without ever trying disc golf.
Ultimate? Is that some new kind of street drug or something? I thought we were talking about frisbee?
/snark
To some, it is a drug
Yep, that would be me 🙂
At the risk of crashing my webserver, here is a link to some highlight videos (some created by me, some by a friend of mine): Ultimate Videos
My upload speed is slooooooow, so they may take a while. I’d recommend just downloading the VCD quality ones.
If you’re lucky, you may spot me in a few of them 🙂 (Those of you who know what I look like, anyway)
I’ll have to check those out when I get home … 🙂
If there is ever a YearlyBOO, there will have to be ample space nearby for an ultimate tourney 🙂
That would be a blast! 🙂
Agreed.
Second place in the (very unofficial) Norwegian championship 1983.
Don’t worry about Albert and his typical lack of reverence. A less polite person than myself would call him a wanker. He doesn’t even think guinea pigs are cute.
Ok, they’re cute.
And I have no problem with slapping the wanker label on the deserving–I’m just holding out a little to make that observation in person (please don’t strike, NW, please…)
kill kill kill!
I see that your brutal defeat at my hands in the Great Guinea Pig Flame War of Aught Six has taught you nothing at all. Mark my words bastard, because I’ll be back with the pigs the mega troll ratings.
My defeat? Surely your month of binge drinking and video gaming has more than gone to your head.
Don’t make me whip up some pies and open up Photoshop to slam those rodents down.
No, it seems my month of binge drinking and video gaming has gone to your head. Don’t make me break out a guinea pig in a wedding dress to jar your senses. Now look at this and just think about a wedding dress on it. Do you want that? Do really want that? If not, you better back off buttercup.
The Photoshop carnage will show no mercy.
You asked for it.
You just made my day with that picture. I haven’t laughed that hard all week.
Thank you librarylil. I’m glad there’s somebody with some sanity around here.
Just which action seems to be the question….I vote for voter registration of young people.
I feel your pain Boo.
I took the day off after a CRAZY week. Just went to lunch with a friend and came home. Thought I’d check out what’s on the tube – here are my choices:
Jon Bennet Ramsey
Soap operas
Court tv
So I settled for an old re-run of an Eagles concert on Bravo and blogging.
Something frivolous – lets see… The friend I just went to lunch with just bought a new puppy that she brought along. Its an 8 week old chihuahua (sp?) that weighs all of maybe 2 pounds (kinda looks like one of those rodents Chris used to post about). But it was really cute. She was in her “Mom’s” purse all though lunch at the restaurant and no one even knew she was there.
kinda looks like one of those rodents Chris used to post about
Oops strike that “used to.”
What’s old is new again.
I forgot to get the camera out to get a picture, but the puppy looked a lot like one of these.
My Congressman is Curt Weldon. My next Congressman is Joe Sestak. Joe will be giving the Democratic response to tomorrow’s Chimpy radio address.
Sometimes in these endless evil days of depression and despair, I find myself casting about for snippets of sophomoric snark to buoy my spirits…
From weeklyworldnews.com:
And this from The Hoosier Gazette, sadly, no longer in operation, but the site is still up:
Hostettler’s office apparently got lots of angry calls from constituents who believed the story. According to the Hoosier Times site, the story was picked up as the real thing by the Sierra Times, Wonkette.com, MichaelMoore.com and news sites in Europe. LTE’s received were posted on the site and are also quite amusing if you get a laugh out of reading mail from bozo’s who don’t know snark from reality.
Thanx to Urban Legends for the links;-)
Reading The Onion also helps, but these days, the and stories have got to be getting harder to write for them with the Government actually doing so many outlandish things, they’re being pushed harder than ever to come up with really fake sounding stuff.
IL 19 CD John Shimkus (R) is the incumbent.
stoverforcongress.us is the website for Danny Stover the Democratic challenger. I’ll help you folks any way I can.
Anna Eschoo (D) is our Congresscritter – just about as safe a seat as there is, though on one occasion when I did hear her speak, she sounded a bit too willing to change the domestic spying law to make what’s already been done legal.
Anyway, Eschoo’s seat is safe, so we’re beating the drum for Jerry McNerney over in CA-11.
I prescribe large doses of Lewis Black accompanied by several ounces of good Scotch. Repeat as needed! (= very often these days!)
you are a wise doctor. I will watch some Lewis Black now.
My congressman is Rep. John Cater(r). Total asswhipe who has said their is no racil problems in Texas and that voters should be made to read, write and speak english before being allowed to vote. Mary Beth Harrell needs money and also people can go on her web site and volunteer to phonebank.

hey chief (and anyone else)- i got a user name so I could post this – this is a blog I haven’t been around yet, and I saw your recent posts about Danny.
Danny Stover, IL-19, has a blog. BlogforStover.Blogspot.Com. Stop by, pick up the news, spread stuff around, do whatever you can to help. This is trully a grassroots campaign to its very core.
Thanks
