Two notes

Note to first-time visitors from Violet Socks’ and Atrios’ joints, as well as Rox Populi (oops), Pandagon, Pharyngula, Michael Bérubé’s, Punkass Blog, Liberal Avenger, Feministe, and please don’t hate me if I left you out:*

Welcome. Glad you’re here. Look around. Atriosans in particular might appreciate this stuff here.

Note to regulars and sporadic visitors:

Yes, I have noticed the fact that this blog’s highest-trafficked day ever came three days after I whined about declining traffic and comments. Yes, I do think it’s funny. No, I don’t have a call in to Alanis Morrisette.

* such as TBogg f’rinstance,** and i definitely owe Roxanne a box of fine Virginia wine.

** And Firedoglake. And… aw hell, if you linked to it, feel free to post a link here.

I'm sorry, but the comment period for this entry has ended.

Yeah, you know we all didn’t actually link to that post today because it was any good...we were intentionally delivering an ironic comeuppance to your complaints the other day. So take that.

We’re also suffering from Goldstein Derangement Syndrome, so we had to jump on board.

;-(

I would also recommend to any new readers the Zeke archive.  Nice doggie.  He’s really the only reason any of us keep coming back.

Blog fame is the black fly in your chardonnay.

tigtog sez:
[Zeke is] really the only reason any of us keep coming back.

Nonsense, it’s the dramatic kerfuffles that keep us coming back! Speaking of which: tigtog is an ignorant Aussie bimbette---discuss!

Skull collecting merkin harpie!

In the synchronicity department, Goldstein has a couple of likeminded machobots who’ve just been summarily chucked from our Oz version of B*g Br*ther for holding down a female housemate while one of the guys allegedly slapped her face with his penis.

It’s so not a funny joke to threaten someone with that, and yet Goldstein still shrugs off any criticism of that months later.

Skull collecting merkin harpie!

Flattery will get you nowhere, and your lack of hyphenation speaks for itself.

But seriously, apropos the Big Brother thing . . . It’s appalling straight out, of course, but it’s also insidious in the fact that it is bizarre and, as you pointed out in your (tigtog’s) blog, wholly stupid on the part of the men. I hate that its strangeness and idiocy will inevitably deflect attention from the coercion and desire to humiliate the woman. It courts laughter in place of anger.

Also, she misspelled “hairpie.”

Also, she misspelled “hairpie.�

Ackshually, I mispledded “hippie”, and that goes double for you, desert boy.

Apparently the BB execs are trying to decide whether to shut the show down after this or not.  The woman is getting a lot of kudos for shrugging it off as no big deal, but she wants to win the dosh, so of course she’s trying to put a good face on it.  Lots of people are saying to close it down and get her some counselling - it will be interesting to see which way they jump.

Virginia wine? Is that like a punishment of some kind?

I’m just embarrassed that it wasn’t me that posted the link on Liberal Avenger.

Came here via Watertiger at Firedoglake.  Stayed.

Don’t call Alanis, she thinks rain on a sunny day is ironic. What a dolt!

Now I am a fan. Sigh.

Jesus Christ, I was one of the first ones to link to your Prufrock post.  What am I, chopped liver?  I totally hate you.

The thing is: I really love chopped liver.
