You wait, newbie sock, on the Pol-tics Page
For Ty to make a faux pas
You post, newbie sock, in a red-faced rage
That makes us all click "ig-nore."

LIESL
Click "ig-nore."

ROLF
You are new school, going on middle school
Newbie, it’s time to think
Better beware of Sebby and Flower
Newbie, they made me drink.

You are new school, going on middle school
Monikers all start to blend
Which fish is Spooky? Why’s spanky kooky?
Did Bilmore come to an end?

Totally unprepared are you
To talk about Greek isles
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of pubic hair grooming styles

You need someone older and wiser
Telling you how to post
I am middle school going on older school
I’ll keep you from being toast

LIESL
I am new school, going on middle school
I know my schtick needs work
Thurgreed’s a blast, he raved at my ass
But I hear he can be a jerk

I am new school, going on middle school
Mucking through all the slime
Salacious PMs, emails and IMs
Which dudes are worth my time?

Totally unprepared am I
To read about Slave’s sex life
Timid and shy and scared am I
At the thought of Mister's wife

I need someone older and wiser
Explaining this place to me
You are middle school going on older school
Make me an F-Beh-tee.

Apparently, they're still there, it's just a pain to look for them. While the idea on this was mine, my hat's really off to Hank's wife for this. She did really good work. I'm not sure slave has ever forgiven Hank, which may explain some of Hank's behavior.

So I open up my little hometown paper today, and what do you think this publication-ette is pining for in the classified section but a COPY EDITOR!!

It's a dream come true! So, as I cannot make a move without consulting my tarot cards and the wisenheimers of the FB, please, wisenheimers, proffer your opinions regarding how best I can display my non-copy-editing background, but still secure a position at this fine newspaper in what is sure to be the first step in a rewarding and fulfilling career.

Very unlike the career I had as a Wall St. lawyer. Ew.

You spent years chasing commas. You should be a shoo in. Do you need an assistant that can't spell or type and regularly confuses homonyms?

Does it require that the Copy Editor be photogenic?

The FB will be happy to write you a letter of recommendation.

Otherwise, how about collecting a few writing samples and submitting them with the application?

I don't really follow the politics of my native state closely (too predictable), but this woman is often good for a laugh. She previously made national news when she claimed teenaged lesbians were taking over schools in Southeast Oklahoma. Now she has uncovered the Homosexual Agenda:

Quote:

As conspiracy theories abound in Oklahoma, John Birch Society, others rally
Wednesday, February 04, 2009
By Ben Fenwick

The crowd in the banquet hall at the Character Conference Center, housed in an old Holiday Inn in downtown Oklahoma City, sat packed, rapt with attention as Oklahoma state Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, told them she’d found it: the gay agenda.

Kern said the agenda is in a book called “After the Ball,” by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen, a book named after a musical adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s “Lady Windermere’s Fan.” She recounted the bullet points of a secret public relations campaign to have gays accepted by the general public — step by step — with the final goal being not just acceptance of gays by heterosexuals, but eventual triumph of homosexuality as a superior lifestyle.

Among the items in the agenda, Kern said, was getting the public to view homosexuality as a matter of taste, like a preference for strawberry or vanilla ice cream. She quoted the text: “The masses should not be shocked and repelled by premature exposure to homosexual behavior itself.”

“You know,” Kern said. “I’ve done a lot of reading on this. I wish I could describe to you their behavior. I will not because I would be redder than this suit. It’s their behavior that we oppose.

“This theme of equality and freedom is the approach that the homosexuals are using today — totally perverting the true intention of what our Constitution meant. … The homosexuals get it — it’s a struggle between our religious freedoms and their right to do what they want to do.”

Around the banquet hall, Kern’s speech met with applause and calls of “Amen!” from a crowd stoked in a crucible of conspiracy and intrigue. For the whole day, the “Clouds Over America” conference, run and organized by the John Birch Society, held lecture after lecture Jan. 23 and 24 dedicated to explaining their various conspiracy-laden tenets. Here’s one — that a godless secret society, the Illuminati, has been battling against the founding of the United States of America and decent citizens to live in peaceful, worshipful freedom.

That would bore them to tears, as the only things I've written (other than posts on this board) are prospectuses and contracts.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll just send a link to the FB.

Benjamin Moore paint that is as close as possible to the color of stainless steel appliances? I looked at the grays (or greys as our dear, post-partisan Penske would say the good chap) and they all seem to have an annoying blue, green or purplish base.

Thanks.

Do moths even eat hog swill? I haven't really paid to much attention on the few occasions where I may have witnessed hog swill, but to the extent I did, it didn't impress me as being an overly mothy thing.
