A PHONE BOOTH, MOUNTAIN LION, & BARBED WIRE

Originally posted in August 2012. For all the newbies who never got to experience the wit and wisdom of Smokey. Sadly a few more commenters on this post have also passed away since.

Cougar - Wikipedia

Anyone who has been a long-time reader of TBP is aware of the greatest line in TBP history:

“You’d rather jack off a mountain lion in a phone booth with barbed wire than fuck with me.” Smokey

He also originated the “Eats Shit” phrase and constantly provoked me with RPES (Ron Paul Eats Shit). His one comment created such a shitstorm that I lost count of the number of regulars that departed the site during that thread. The comment was: “He should have ducked.” He was referring to Scott Olsen, who was shot in the head with a tear gas cannister by the Oakland Police during an Occupy demonstration. Over the last three years he battled with just about every TBP regular, including myself. He left the site because he thought his presence was hurting me. He came back for a few months, but left again to deal with some health issues.

I’ve been avoiding doing this post and it probably has something to do with my funk. I received an extremely sad email from Smokey three weeks ago that he was gravely ill. He was entering the hospital the next day and did not expect to live for two months. Below is his final message to me:

No more blogging for me—I enter the hospital tomorrow or the next day and do not expect to survive.
I apologize for any things I said that may have hurt you. I enjoyed the friendship.
Please give my best to your wonderful wife and raise your kids to be like you.
You are one of the finest people I have known.
If life is eternal, perhaps we meet again.  I hope so.
Smokey

I responded how sorry I was to hear this tragic news and let him know how appreciative I was of his support from Day 1. I asked for his permission to let the TBP community know the news so they could pray for a miracle. I have experienced two miracles within my own family, and believe the power of prayer can do amazing things. I never received a response. I’d like to ask everyone with a religious faith to say a prayer for Smokey. My hope is that he will show up on TBP full of piss and vinegar.

Smokey has had my back since I first started writing on Seeking Alpha – four years ago. He was known as Swashbuckler. He supported me during my falling out with Jason during TBP #1. We disagreed on the Middle East, China and OWS. But he never turned his sometimes nasty disposition in my direction. We went to war against David Pierre, peak oil deniers, and apologists for the status quo. On economic issues we were perfectly aligned.

I didn’t know how to run a blog three years ago. I still don’t. Smokey set the tone of TBP. The no holds barred nasty brutish funny nature of this blog owes it all to Smokey. Foul language, ad hominem attacks, extreme sarcasm, witty comebacks, hysterical insults, and intelligent banter were his specialty. His personality will forever be stamped on TBP. He was a shit throwing Gorilla among shit throwing monkeys. I will always be thankful that he was part of this community and I pray for his return to health. I’ve never met him in person, but I do believe life is eternal and we shall meet someday. Farewell my good friend.

I have the ability to search comments by name. When I typed in Smokey, there were 433 pages of comments made by or about Smokey in the last three years. I spent a couple hours perusing his comments and found myself laughing out loud. The comments I’ve picked out below were just during a couple months in 2010. They are not for the faint hearted or the squeamish. If you find foul language offensive, I’d advise you to read no further. But they are funny.

I think it would be worthwhile for all the regulars to provide their favorite memories about Smokey. – good, bad, ugly, and funny.

THE BEST OF SMOKEY

I have decided that I want to live a productive life and contribute to the greater good of our society. In order to accomplish these worthy goals I will immediately forthwith begin walking down the street with my blue jeans pulled down below my waist while my baseball cap is cocked cadi-cornered on my head with my dick in my hand. My body will be covered in tattoos and I will listen to gangsta rap to learn about drive-bys and drugs.  I will spend every cent I can steal on crack cocaine. I will bathe at the MOST once a month, and I will make certain that none of the several whores I screw each day have reached the age of 17, and under no circumstances will I reside in the same household as the bastard child I bring into the world, ESPECIALLY when his whore momma can get Obama and the taxman make whitey pay to support him.

There are only two motherfuckers alive who are more fucking stupid than John Paulson. One is the gay traitor transvestite David Pierre and the other is you Walter Leadbone.  You fucking IMBECILE, Paulson is bragging about being long the big banks. I’d rather own subprime real estate in Detroit. Come back and post after you get a lobotomy.

Walter Leadbone—-I  was long the banks until March 09 and I was down to my last $100,000.  That’s when I shorted the dogshit out of them.  I got margin calls when I blew out that final 100 grand, then went upside down 35 thou. Now, I flip burgers during the day at the Royal Castle for $7.50 an hour and deliver pizzas for Domino’s at night. I’ve already paid off $2,000 of that 35 and only have $33,000 to go and I’ll be back even. Then I’ll save enough to move out of my parent’s basement. First thing  I’ll buy is a moped, and then a green 3 pc suit. And then a Pete Rose baseball card. Then, I’ll save up for a color television with a remote control. I’ll get me a 350 sq ft bachelor’s pad and invite over some chicks to provide with a hot beef injection. If no chicks are available, I’ll just make some hot chocolate chip cookies. I’d just as soon eat those cookies as have sex anyway.

You had a choice. You could be a chickenshit pussy coward, a mouse.  Or you could be a man. You decided on the latter.  As Maximus Decimus Meridius has stated,  ” The decisions we make in life echo in eternity.”

Most poor people are poor not because the rich have held them back. They are poor because they are genetically inferior to those of us who have vast wealth. The rich are not only richer than other people, they are smarter, better looking and have bigger dicks, too.  Poor people are a needless blight on this country. And by poor, I mean if you don’t have a net worth of 250k or an income of at least 85k, then you eat shit.

Super Bowl Day I’ll be on the couch watching TV while drinking Dom Perignon with a hot babe at a Vegas resort hotel, probably getting a blowjob, while the China economy continues to roll.

China’s not gonna crash. If you want your smelly ass kissed at the Super Bowl, you’d better plan on living to be 150 or either pray for reincarnation. Because in this lifetime, there will be no China crash, so sorry.

SSS—No doubt about it.  Shit, when I lived in northern Virginia, former  DC mayor Marion Barry was caught on video doing crack, went to prison, then landslided back into the mayor’s office as soon as he got out.  But hey, I would never allege that our president, Tarbaby, getting 99% of the black vote had anything at all to do with his skin color.

enduromanrapido—–You ignorant douchebag. If you don’t work for the government, you’ve missed your calling.   Bernanke and Geithner could use an idiot  like you.  Maybe if you provide each of them with a resume’ and a blowjob, and then talk some of the same fool shit you post here, they’ll consider you for a job.

Administrator—–One of my brothers emailed me a youtube clip a couple of years ago.  It was a TV reporter doing an interview in Louisiana shortly after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The female reporter was talking to a black female housing resident in a small town neighborhood. The reporter commented that the hurricane must have surely created much hardship throughout the area because of the damage to all of the churches. The black woman said, “Well, that doesn’t really bother us because we gets all our chicken from Popeye’s.”

Gemini—-You fucking duplicitous hypocritical pussy. Trying to build the cover to slide in the back door and team with SSS and me because you KNOW of the ass whipping in store for you. TOO FUCKING LATE.  You have already staked out your territory with the losers. Tough shit. No crying to your mommy, you fucking bed-wetter. I hope you take the needle out of your arm long enough to read this sacred post, you hopeless addict. I bet you can’t wait to knock off your next liquor store or gas station so you’ll have enough cash to pay for your next fix.  Drug-users are why this country eats shit. Why do you think we have the massive problems with the spics? Drugs. Drugs breed crime, violence. And you advocate that shit? Are you out of your fucking mind? Why don’t you just advocate murder, kidnapping, and baby-raping?  The fucking prisons are crammed with criminals who committed  VIOLENT crimes while under the addiction of drugs. Do you actually think a teen is going straight to heroin or crack cocaine without first using reefer? Hell no. They ALL begin with reefer and then go to the hard drugs, needles. Drug users are a fucking worthless blight on humanity and advocating the legalization of drugs in our society is an irresponsible breach of any conceivable acceptable standards for behavior in a civilized society.  A final word–if you want to lock ass with me—BRING IT!!!

Gemini—-At the sake of telling you something you already know, your wife gives a knobjob that is world class. She told me, between slurps, that she loves to take it up the ass from big buck niggers. Come clean now and reveal the REAL reason you want pot legal—so you can get the preschoolers high for some hot action. Since you have NO chance of getting any from the opposite sex, according to your wife, unless you go after 8 year olds. I will concede, my massive python was fully erect when they lynched Saddam, the SAME Saddam who murdered 50 MILLION of his own people and allowed his two sons to operate rape rooms. The mass murderer who was poised to invade Kuwait and take control of the middle east oil if Bush I had not intervened and stopped him. Of course, PUSSIES like you have NO answer to radical extremists who INCINERATE our citizens on 9/11. You fucking chickenshit coward, afraid that our leaders might take their hands off their nuts and fight back against the people WHO DANCED BY THE MILLIONS IN THE STREET ON TV AT THE NEWS OF 9/11.  Fuck you pussy.

Administrator—-Davis Pierre pulled this same shit a couple of weeks ago on ZH, telling the bloggers that you and I are the same.  Of course, the lie was transparent and everyone on ZH knew he was lying, and several posters even told him so.  That deranged fucker is so eaten up with that 9/11 conspiracy shit that it is sad.  If he slanders you much more, it would not surprise me if he gets his ass booted off Tyler Durden’s site also.  That is one sick puppy.

Reverse Engineer—–You and I are destined for a showdown. I cut you plenty of slack over on TBP #1, but I have no intention of EVER giving you the benefit of the doubt over here.  I am one bad motherfucker. Cross me over here and you will rue the day we met.  Ponder carefully anything before you post it here, because it doesn’t take much to piss me off.  Until then.

Daniel—-I knew we were allies on this issue.  BTW, in real life, I’m also a Daniel, but go by Dan.  I ACHE for Jim to post a well thought out detailed piece on Iran that generates a lot of traffic. Mainly because I see no conceivable way that you, Stuck, neocon, and Jim will be left standing after the battle. My guess is that there would be at least one permanent departure from TBP #2 after that engagement.

Sprouty—You are obviously a nice person. Just a cautionary note about this site. There are some people who post here, who, unlike me, sometimes lose their composure. You need thick skin, and sometimes innocent bystanders here get caught in the crossfire.  Some callous people even use foul language here. Although my manners on this site are always impeccable and I avoid confrontation at all costs, I realize that all people are not like me. Even F bombs have been known to fly here, not that I’ve ever stooped to such deplorable antics.

Israel should NOT attack Iran. When the long overdue nuclear bombing of Iran occurs, it should be handled properly. WE should do it. And then we should tell the rest of radical Islam, “Want some? Get some.”  This would serve notice that we are no longer following the cowardly doctrines of the chickenshit pussies G.W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Obama.  Then, after sending EVERY Iranian to greet their ancestors, we should PRAY that some more of the insolent jihadist nations (ALL of Islam) will jump into the fray. If no more middle eastern countries step up, we should summarily eliminate the few who have deliberately provoked us—North Korea, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. If the Administrator or anyone else misconstrues this as my sitting on the fence, I will be glad to elaborate.

Cynical 30—-Every time you post, you show what a fucking idiot you are. We have already spent a fortune supporting dissenting youth groups in Iran, and it hasn’t gotten us a fucking thing. I know more about nuclear physics than you know about geopolitical politics. Go back to feeling up your six year old sister while we adults spend time on this blog. DOUCHEBAG. – Response to this comment from Cynical30 :

Smokey: I do believe the last time you fucked with me I shut you down faster than a girl’s school next to a Taliban community center by saying “your mamma smells like the nutsack of a 60 year old Indian cab driver after the nightshift”.  You, my friend, are the French fucking army.  Go tie those musty, stained tighty whiteys of yours to a flagpole & type up a concession speech.

Cynical 30—You unoriginal pussy.   “…….before I bastardize your daughter with a taco”.  At least most retarded idiots make an attempt to cover their tracks when they plagiarize. You are too fucking stupid to do that. You lifted the entire phrase from buch dich’s post earlier in the thread. What a fucking loser. BTW, I tossed your wife a half pint of throat yogurt last night. She swallowed like the pro she is. Try to use your own words the next time you post. – Response to this comment by Cynical30:

Aw man, I almost let Smokey sneak one by me. I’m surprised at you Smokes.  For someone who appreciates such nuance in public debate, I am truly taken aback by your response.  Surely someone as esteemed as you can recognize the subtle technique of “killing two jerkoffs with one bitchslap”.  Alas, apparently you don’t.  Shameful.  I turly expect more out of you. Either way, you should give your mom a call when you get a chance.  I crawled through her window last night & finally gave you the little brother you always wanted.  Just so you know, given the her age and morbid obesity, there’s a good chance he may come out looking like an Asian penguin.  I’ll be sure to UPS you a bike helmet & arm floaties if that’s the case.

Cynical 30—I hope you enjoyed your fling with my mom last night. By the way, she’s 81 and has AIDS.

DP is one hate-filled,sick puppy.  I would pay to watch that fucker psychoanalyzed for a couple of hours by a first rate psychiatrist.  I mean, this mother fucker is a shrink’s wet dream.   It’s obvious from his posts that he is a paranoid  schizophrenic sociopath.  He is probably beyond all help and belongs in a psych ward before he hurts himself or someone else. Regardless, he is still a lot of fun to fuck with on this site.

I respectfully submit—–What is so fucking hard about pronouncing the word ASK ?  I mean, how is it that an entire race cannot pronounce a fucking s before a fucking k in that word?  If you don’t know the answer, go aks  Obama.

Apollo is a know-nothing queer fascist shit -eater. So is Goldorock. So is Cynical 30. So is Deep Blue. So is Gemini. So is DP.  So is RE.  So are the many others that I have vanquished on this site, but forgotten their names.

shut the fuck up——-Show some mercy, please. I am so afraid when I read your angry words. You frighten me.  One small word of caution though—You’d rather jack off a mountain lion in a phone booth with barbed wire than fuck with me.—I’d like to linger here a bit longer and really get in a nasty pissing match with you, but I’ve decided instead to head to Tijuana with Sonic and cahuitabeachbound to do some weed and to party.  Hugs and kisses, Smokey.

DP—–I thought Quinn banned your sorry psychotic ass from this site.  Please tell me how it feels to be a coward. To abandon your country of birth because of fear.  And how it feels to then spend the rest of your miserable, wretched, shallow  existence trying to deceive yourself into believing you fled based on principles.  How does it feel to be a traitor who fled under cover of darkness because he was afraid to defend his country?  I have a question for you DP. There was a very popular television political analyst who had a high profile career, spent largely criticizing politicians. She was conservative and a bestselling author. Her name was Barbara Olsen and on 9/11/2001 she had been happily married for several years to Ted Olsen, then Solicitor General of the United States. Ted Olsen was also the attorney who had represented George W. Bush in the 2000 Presidential legal proceeding versus Al Gore.  Anyway, there are transcripts of Ms. Olsen on the phone to her husband as her hijacked plane was en route to and aimed for the Pentagon. She of course has never been heard from again. George Bush is a close personal friend of Ted Olsen. My question, DP, is where do you think Ms. Olsen is? Sipping a martini by the pool in Brazil?  Or maybe in a villa in the south of France?  I ache to hear your sick, convoluted explanation for this. Or will you ignore the question, being the coward you are?

I wish I would have been born rich, instead of so damn good-lookin’.

Gemini response to an insult from Smokey:

Smokey, I tongue punched your moms fart box last night, kept her granny panties as a souvenir.

Smokey comeback:

Gemini—-I’m sure you enjoyed that. She has been whining a lot lately about her massive case of bleeding hemorrhoids. Between that, and her starting her period yesterday morning, I’m sure you had quite a feast.

Bruce C—–I’ll tell you what. You may be new here, so I’ll be nice.  Listen up.  If oil isn’t over $500 per barrel five years from today, I’ll kiss the Administrator’s stinking, hairy ass in the middle of Times Square at midnight EST New Year’s Eve 2015.

DP is in a fucking blind rage right now.  He’s pissed because all those pictures hit home.  DP, a stanza from your national anthem,   “when danger reared it’s ugly head, he quickly turned his tail and fled.”   Hey DP, do you still think that Quinn and me are the same person?  FYI, DP–you look like a fool when you motherfuck Quinn over on ZH.  Tyler Durden doesn’t give a shit what you think about TBP,  why do you think Quinn is one of his favorite guest posters on ZH? Everybody reads your shit and laughs at what a deluded cowardly fool you are.

Yeah Nonanonymous, I’ve heard the fairy tale thousands of times. Jesus Christ committed suicide to save us from our sins and to keep us from being burned by the Devil in eternity. Newsflash Nonanonynous—The Holy Bible is a work of fiction with dozens of glaring contradictions throughout. There is no Devil and there is no Hell.  All religions eventually fail. God transcends all religions.

Obviously, the current administration is in over it’s head. What the country desperately needs is for George Bush to return to power and straighten out Obama’s mess. Since Bush can by law only serve two terms, we should put Dick Cheney on top of the ticket and Bush as VP. Cheney would straighten out this shit in a big hurry. If Bush hadn’t held him back, the war would have been over five years ago. Cheney may well be, no, is undoubtedly, the best person ever to hold the vice presidency or presidency. His intellect is astonishing. It would not surprise me if his IQ  is 200 plus.  And the only thing that exceeds his IQ is his integrity.  Norman Schwarzkopf’s IQ is listed on public record as 168. Schwarzkopf answered to Cheney in the first Gulf War, not vice versa.

Put RE’s brain on the edge of a razor blade and it would look like a BB rolling down a four lane highway.———If RE’s brain were gas, there wouldn’t be enough fuel to power an ant’s minibike halfway around a BB.

printmemoney—–I was using Cheney as bait for Quinn. Quinn didn’t take it, I haven’t seen him post for a couple of days. Probably because he’s in hiding because he knows that he and I are overdue for a knock-down dragout brawl, and that he will, as usual, lose big.

Death is a part of life, and life is eternal. Your Dad’s death will be a blessing. I loved my grandfather and he went out with Alzheimer’s. Peace to your family.

Cynical 30—Glad you stopped feeling up your little sister long enough to join the discussion here.  I notice you tended to agree with my brilliant thesis posted earlier this thread. Wise decision. Apparently you have found out the hard way that disagreeing with me tends to rapidly lead to humiliation and embarrassment. Pay close attention to all of my posts and you may learn enough  to salvage your pitiful existence. – Cynical30 Response to Smokey:

Smokey’s just pissed off that his wife can’t get the imprint of my cock off of her forehead.  It looks like someone slapped her upside the dome with a frozen portabello mushroom.  Smokey, what it comes to talking shit, I own you and all residual rights to you.  Bitch, I own you like chattel.  That means I also own your family, and any “blog-mulattos” that i may happen to grace your wife with after a night of Jack Daniels at the juke joint.  You, my friend are a thalidomide baby among midgets.  Go flipper off to the wading pool somewhere until your master commands forth your presence for another 50 lashings.

Cynical 30—–I have to extend a formal apology. My beautiful girlfriend and I just returned home from dining out.  When we got to my neighborhood I saw a familiar sight.  I remarked to my gorgeous, buxom girlfriend,  “Oh look, Honey, there’s Cynical 30′s mom once again pissing on a fire hydrant.” But then, to my shock and embarrassment, I realized your mom was not pissing on a fire hydrant, she was pissing on your daddy. My profound apologies, Cynical 30. I shall forthwith get my eyeglasses modified so as to avoid further misunderstandings regarding your bitch momma. – Cynical30 Response:

Smokey: I’ll take that as a compliment, you sheep fucking mongoloid.  The fact that when your eyes meet the screen and you read my digital poetry you get so pissed off that your face turns more purple than an Indian hookers pussy lips makes me smile all the way down to my soot-black soul.  May you die and eternally singe on your reserved throne in the shittiest outhouse in hell my friend.  See you on the next post.

History will shine on George W. Bush.  His administration will eventually be the model based on  which all future administrations will be constructed.  George W. Bush’s legacy will be that of a leader of unrivaled principle, vision, and courage.

LLPOH—-No sarcasm was intended. According to Webster’s Dictionary, charm is defined as “a trait that fascinates or delights”, and is also defined as “a physical grace or attraction”.  Of course, the essence of my being is not typically perceived as readily by guys as it is by gals. People that know me well typically refer to me as pussy magnet, because of my movie star good looks. And it is difficult for me to associate with large crowds of people because of the women. As soon as they see me or hear me speak, they all want it. Usually, the hottest babes think they might get lucky and get me into bed. When they find out how long the waiting list is, they then start to throw money at me, you know, bribe me into the sack. Sometimes, when I refuse some of the beautiful ones who are unaccustomed to being turned down, they threaten out of anger. I keep my own security detail with me at all times because I am so concerned that some of these rejected hotties may attempt to rape me out of uncontrollable lust.  One other minor disclosure is in order here: The only thing that exceeds my good looks is my brains.

Stuck—Funny you should ask.  As I read your query, I had my massive 11 1/2 ” python out and was wailing away. That was the BEST post you have ever put up, and is worthy of a Pulitzer Prize for journalistic integrity.

newsjunkie—-Imagine having to explain to a blind man the difference between the color blue and the color orange.  Then, imagine having to write for a deaf person an explanation of the difference between classical music and rap.  If you can imagine both those scenarios, then you may have an inkling of what it is like trying to explain to you and DP why it is not possible for 9/11 to have been an inside job.  I mean, JFC, the planes are on fucking video crashing into the buildings.

newsjunkie——I’m going to say something here that I’ve said before. It will most likely go over your head, but I’ll say it anyway.—-First, there had to be a motive. Second, to pull off a mass murder like that would take a cast of THOUSANDS of people. And if a SINGLE person who participated in the plot, or was invited to participate in the plot, said “Um, no thanks, I’d rather not be an accomplice to a mass murder of innocent Americans”, and instead went to the police, the jig would be up. All of the hundreds or thousands of people involved in planning the attack would be facing life in prison or the death penalty.—If a single person was caught rigging an explosive charge, the jig would be up.  newsjunkie, why is it so fucking hard for you to understand that to coordinate an undertaking like that would be impossible? Even if something like that were pulled off, but a participant in the operation years later says on his death bed, “Oh, by the way, we set the explosive charges at WTC”, then everybody goes to prison. There is no statute of limitations on murder. One person squeals, and they all go to death row. NOBODY is fucking stupid enough to risk their life in an operation that would be exposed if a single person, out of hundreds, were to get caught or talk. It simply wouldn’t happen. And stage the attack for what reason,what motive? Risk their lives to mass murder their fellow citizens because they don’t like them? Or because it seems like fun?  And like I told DP before, a national television reporter, Barbara Olsen, who was married to the Solicitor General of the U.S., Ted Olsen, was on the plane that was incinerated at the Pentagon. Do you think that was staged? She has never been heard from again, since five minutes before the plane crashed  into the Pentagon. Or do you think the Pentagon crash was for real, but the WTC buildings were brought down with explosives? You CAN’T have it both ways. They can’t stage HALF of 9/11 while the other half is real.  I mean, damn, my 11 year old niece can understand this, why can’t you? What some deluded people SAY they found (residue of explosives) at the sight doesn’t mean shit. newsjunkie—Again, a spectacular collaboration involving a MINIMUM of HUNDREDS of people, and if there is ONE dissent, one person that says no thanks, then the plot is exposed and they all go to prison for life or face the death penalty.

DP——A question for you.  Will you be hanging onto 9/11 for the rest of your life?  I mean, what about Bigfoot? Or Sasquatch? Or the Abominable Snowman? Or the crop circles? Or Loch Ness? Or the moon landing? Or the hundreds of completely verified Elvis sightings in the past 10 years ? Or Area 51? Or the Kennedy assassinations? Seems like you’d get more mileage if you use more issues than just 9/11. And you can blame the government for most of the conspiracies I’ve listed here, so as to give yourself some more psychological cover from the devastating pain of your cowardly act of deserting your country.

Carl—–What a coincidence.  I’m hung like a bull elephant myself.   In fact, I can make mine 11″ long.  By folding it in half.

All Baby Boomers eat shit.  ( Except me)

robertsgt40—–If you weren’t such a moosecock sucking piece of festering shit, you would know that the like/dislike have never worked properly since Day One here, including today. But sick dimwitted retarded douchebag mongoloids like you LOVE to jump to conclusions when there is NO fucking supporting evidence whatsoever. You have 9/11 down EXACTLY like you have peak oil down. You may well be the stupidest mother-fucker ever to post here, and that is fucking saying something, because we have had some deranged, psychotic fools babbling on this site.  Eat shit, asshole.

Excellent  LLPOH.  So fortunate that my legions of foes on this site don’t possess your wit. Welshman’s probably a decent person, it’s just that my starting shit on this blog is like my getting a heroin fix.

That’s it.  Five thumbs down.  You have done it now.  Crossed the fucking Rubican. Keep pissing me off.  I’ll light this board up with some anti tea-party shit that will have all of you losers crying for your mommies.

FUCK ALL THE COCKSUCKERS.  Not a fucking one is worth a shit.  Especially  Ron Paul.  BOTH Pauls eat shit, Ron and Rand.  Christine O’Donnell eats shit. Both Bush’s Bush eat shit. Cheney eats shit. Clinton eats shit, Bill and his dyke wife.  Joe Biden eats shit. Barney queer Frank eats shit. Arlen Specter eats shit. Harry Reid eats shit. Chris Dodd eats shit. Nancy Pelosi eats shit. Lindsey Graham eats shit. Ben Bernanke eats shit. Maxine Waters eats shit. Tim Geithner eats shit. Henry Paulson eats shit. Jim Demint eats shit. Alan Greenspan eats shit. Both Obamas eat shit. John McCain eats shit. Sarah Palin eats shit.—- ———–Now I have all of you Libertarian, and tea party faggots in a box, don’t I?  You fucking ACHE to SLAM the thumbs up button because you agree so strongly with most of this comment. OTOH, you fucking ACHE to SLAM the thumbs down button because I have openly dissed you gay heros, Ron and Rand.   What to do, what to do?  Life is a choice.

Stuck – notice you are kicking ass and taking names. Unfortunately I can’t drop in troo much at the moment. There is a personal issue I am dealing with that is keeping me tird up – and not in a good way. I note with admiration the thrashings you are handing out. I also like SSS’s handling of Z-dumbfuck. I will call in as soon as I am able. I have a lot of greovelling to do to try to make amends with the Admin.

Sorry to hear about the personal issues. Carry on … I can take on as many curs as I need to.

I will say this. If you and admin can’t make amends and/or if you were to leave, I would be really, really, really bummed out. Your absence would be as bad as Smokey”s for me.

Thanks Stuck. I did a bad thing. I don’t think Admin will carry a permanent grudge, but I think he will make me pay. The problem with running an open site is, well, it is open. He and I have had some nasty fights – we do hit a raw nerve occassionally. From my perspective at least, we hold very similar views. We differ by degrees and not by miles. But those few degrees do make things interesting. He holds my undiluted respect.

To my detractors in the above comments: Kiss my ass. I said I wished Smokey well, what the fuck else do you want? If people who have revealed details of their actual lives here such as Admin and Stucky claimed to have a serious illness or other health crisis, I would believe them. Smokey, on the other hand, had a presence here that was completely disconnected from reality. I have no reason not to believe him and no reason to believe he wasn’t spouting bullshit.

And, like others, I was so in sync on many things, but so far apart on others. Always he makes me laugh, cringe, and cry with tears of joy at his mostly brilliant audacity.

I was in a church yesterday, St. Therese actually, and I offered my pleadings for miracles to the universe.

Thank you so much for sharing this Jim. All my love and healing wishes going to Smokey.

File this under, “you never know.”

A designer I worked with an an engineering firm a decade ago was a smoker. He came down with lung cancer. The surgeon told him he would only operate if he gave up smoking. He did. The surgeon also told him he had maybe a 50% chance of even surviving the operation. He did. Due to all the nerves that were cut during surgery, he will be on pain meds for the rest of his life, but he beat it and is still working there today.

I am devastated. My thoughts and prayers are with Smokey during this difficult time.

Thank you for including some of the dialogue Smokey had with me. It brings back memories and I’m truly touched.

One of my favorite posts of all time was Smokey on God:

“I don’t believe in Satan or hell. I was just pointing out the ridiculous assertions of orthodox religion.

I don’t believe in sin either. I believe we were all created perfect, because we were created by God, and He only creates perfection. I believe that what most people call sin is in fact mistakes. And those mistakes made in this life are not met with condemnation, but are instead met with the opportunity of redemption on another level.

I believe God loves every living thing unconditionally. I believe God is love, expressed.

I think the Christian religion is mistaken when it says God forgives us. I do NOT think God forgives us, because God never condemns us. Forgiveness isn’t necessary unless there has been condemnation.

I believe God is in the DNA of the nuclei of the blood of every living thing, included the most loving saint and the most heinous criminal.

I FIRMLY believe in the final line from one of my favorite musical productions, Les Miserables:

“And remember the truth that once was spoken. To love another person is to see the face of God.”

I believe God is ALWAYS your highest thought….

I believe the soul is on a journey and is ALWAYS evolving higher. At this level of reality, the soul’s ultimate desire is to become one with God, what some people call Self Realization, or enlightenment.

Jesus Christ fully realized when he walked the Earth. As did Krishna. I believe the Buddha did also, and a few others. Jesus may have been the only one on this planet to self-realize in a single lifetime.

Despite the contentions in the Bible and other religious doctrine of God’s judgment and / or Judgment Day, I don’t believe it.

I believe God creates life, and God will never judge any of us. He created us perfect and loves us unconditionally. If we fuck up, or murder, steal, rape, etc, I believe we will each have the opportunity to rectify these behaviors later in our spiritual evolution. In other words, we will have the opportunity to make a HIGHER choice.

Mother Teresa once commented that she saw God in the eyes of every person she ever helped in the streets of Calcutta. I believe her.”

I’ve missed him, too.

Better a late comment than no comment.

Smokey had colon cancer, as I recall. He had a colectomy, but he must have had a recurrence.

There will never be another Smokey. Nobody can even come close. I never had a serious disagreement with him. His “he should of ducked” comment was supposed to be funny, which he stated on another post. He made people look really, really stupid, so some people didn’t like him. He was crude, yes, but it was always funny on some level. He’s an old school white man. He never bought into the political correctness bullshit, and called a spade a spade. Not many of those guys left, unfortunately, everyone else has swallowed the kool-aid, nobody left to rescue this country from it’s slide into third-world status. He should have stayed in his bunker.

Thank you for that.

Smokey is so multifaceted, in valuing, and missing, his gorilla status, I had forgotten his metaphysical side.

He turned me onto “I am That,” and while not exactly my thing, it contained a few gems that I need to go and refresh in my mind.

What an amazing man, more prayers and cosmic hugs.

“How is the new stucky different from StuckyinNJ 1.0?” —- Novista

The 1.0 version was deep down a kind and gentle soul.

Yes, he enjoyed a good ol’ fashioned shit fest. But he always apologized if things got too out of hand. He apologized to Admin, HZK, llpoh, SSS, RE, others, and even Smokey more than once.

The 1.0 version had a philosophy, “I’ll only hate you for a day. Tomorrow is a new slate.” Look it up if you’ve forgotten. “Can’t we all get along?” was always on his mind.

Version 2.0 will never apologize again, ever. Todyas hate will carry over to endless tomorrows. Version 2.0 doesn’t give a flying fuck about getting along. He embraces the Dark Side and feeds off the hate of others, as well as his own. It is the fuel that feeds his dazzling brilliance.

Got it?

I have not been on TBP for months. By chance, I checked in I saw Jim’s post on your illness, and it saddened me tremendously to hear the terrible news. You and I battled Admin and were always dumped on because of our belief in a strong military and conservative ideals. I’ll pray that God protects you and provides comfort to you and your family through this tough time.

All the best,

He was my good friend. The 4 horsemen of TBP vanquished all before us – Admin, Stuck, Smokey, and well, me, rode roughshod over these TBP plains. Those were great days, and we were mighty then. Mighty still, but this is a different time.

Newbies haven’t seen Stuck, Admin, or me in full flight. We have mellowed. We used to go full berserker for days and weeks at a time. Maybe we should gang up on a newbie or two for old time’s sake. In Smokey’s memory, dontcha know.

I offer my services for a target of commentary ATTACK!!!

Ha ha ha. I thought, reading this fella’s commentary, what an exercise it would have been to tangle with him, purely for the purposes of testing one’s own mettle.

Red prides himself on having developed a tolerance for invective and ad hominem attacks over the years. And this man is clearly a Mike Tyson of comment board power punchers.

No holds barred. It’s an interesting life philosophy. But personally speaking, I’ve learned the value of holding back because there is nothing in this world more difficult than taming the inner beast…

…or at least keeping that bastard back on his heels.

Something is happening to all of us, and it’s more subtle than simply mellowing with age. We all know, instinctively and despite our preferred worldviews, that the coming days will be different than anything which has gone before. Battling on comment boards without holding anything back is simply giving too much away. Too much of something valuable we know should not be squandered.

I didn’t know him, but if I may be so bold as I am a student of the human seed: Mr. Smokey sounds like he may have expended himself. That’s merely an observation from a distance, it’s not a criticism.

Wow, oh wow …. what a sweet stroll down memory lane!!

Shitfests back then were knockdown, brutal, no-holds-barred … sometimes even with threats of violence. One had to have really really thick skin to survive. Many did not. Hell, I even wrote a separate “farewell” article — maybe twice — letting the fuckers here know what deranged assholes they were, and that I was never ever coming back. Like I said, this was a TOUGH joint!!

And what do we have today by comparison? We have the equivalent of pillow fights. LLPOH wrote that we have mellowed. Maybe. But it might be more than that. Maybe like great swaths of America today, we have become …… pussified.

Oh yes, indeed. I wouldn’t have to go back more than a month to find a handful of our current snowflakes asking why I curse so much, condemning me why I curse so much, ordering me to stop cursing so much …. one piece of shit snowflake even lodging a complaint with Admin!!! Absolutely pathetic.

Anyway, Smokey and me hardly ever argued. When we did, they were HUGE, as one would expect when neither person gives an inch. But, I genuinely liked and admired him … and I believe he felt likewise.

Smokey, you irascible cranky old fucker …. I’M TRULY GONNA MISS YOU (if you croak) … and trust me, I will never forget you!!

Israel should NOT attack Iran. When the long overdue nuclear bombing of Iran occurs, it should be handled properly. WE should do it. And then we should tell the rest of radical Islam, “Want some? Get some.” This would serve notice that we are no longer following the cowardly doctrines of the chickenshit pussies G.W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Obama. Then, after sending EVERY Iranian to greet their ancestors, we should PRAY that some more of the insolent jihadist nations (ALL of Islam) will jump into the fray. If no more middle eastern countries step up, we should summarily eliminate the few who have deliberately provoked us—North Korea, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. If the Administrator or anyone else misconstrues this as my sitting on the fence, I will be glad to elaborate.

This was the sort of diatribe that intrigued me a decade ago: What was this blog where people could be so fuckmerunning foulmouthed and yet be so cockamamie smart at the same time?

2012 was a long sad year for me and I spent many hospital/nursing home hours reading the blog, saying nothing or very little.

Some of the intriguing characters you’ve attracted and repelled here are truly unbelievable. I remember the David Pierre business and would almost dare say other trollish names but mine might come up and heaven knows no one needs to see some of the filth I’ve posted here.

It is a unique little collection of characters you have here, Mr. Quinn. I’ve always said that you were the Fireman of Farenheit 451, trapped in a community full of genuises so intent upon their own store of knowledge they can no longer speak to one another sometimes.

Wow, hard to believe this Smokey guy is a hero on TBP. You’re impressed by Yo Mama jokes? Judging by his comments on issues he is quite ignorant, born out by the fact he resorts to name-calling as his primary tactic, and rather juvenile name-calling at that. My crowd stopped talking like that around puberty. He is to commentary what Andrew Dice Clay was to comedy. There are a lot of good comments on TBP, but imho none of his are. Cheers.
