He posts a picture of a God Damn field with snow on it when the Continental US is snow free and wants us to believe that’s his home, he’s a fucking Canadian at best! Poor lost soul wanted to be an American Republican like real fucking men, but he’s sorely missing the mark! Maggie don’t fall for these empty minded fucks like Gfish! I was fuckin with him the other day! He’s really a pussy!

Sensetti… I have one very big flaw. I am doggedly competitive, so my quest to get this “lameass” post to 300 is a matter of pride now. And I actually enjoy the music my once arch nemesis EC posts here, as it sends me down memory lane where I once thought I might make a difference with my life.
Also, to be honest, with Christmas approaching I’m trying to limit my gloom reading, although my husband asked me to read the Drudge link to a Rush Limbaugh article about the GOP selling U.S. down the river and now I’m on the site to see what TBPers think about it.
I guess I was right about Ryan. I hoped to be proven wrong.
[img[/img]
And Jfish is eager to prove himself worthy of posting here at TBP. What he needs to learn, though I am not in the mood to be anyone’s tutor, is that the Admirable Admin is the ultimate believer in the freedom of individual’s to speak their thoughts aloud or, in this case, by keyboard. Admin is, as Milton was, a believer in Truth’s ability to win on a free and open field. (Areopagitica)
If only our tyrants were so wise. One day soon, Truth shall slap them in the face and they will fall to their knees, broken.
But not today. So, Jfish, carry on.
And thanks for your concern Sensetti. I’ll be around, but I have Christmas baking to do.

December 18, 2015 12:05 pm
FINE! I am commentbator. SUE ME!!! in that vein….
OK. Ya bunch of Monkeys:
So – I woke up this morning crying just a little bit regarding my crushed dreams of TBP “Big Dogdem” and was reminded of my twisted schooldays growing up. Everything was a fight: Hey JFISH… “redheaded like the dick of a dog”… “whaddaya do wash your hair in ketchup?” – and shit like that. You get the picture.
Even girls…, man… I was so ugly and awkward, I never got a 1st look, let alone a 2nd.
Thank god for my folks who got me braces in the 8th grade. Even still, it wasn’t until college that I figured out the ladies, using my sense of humor and smile, before I was able to start dating the model-types, ya know?
Anyway, I got to thinking. You know how they say nothing ever really changes after high school?
Well, if this was TBP High School I would break it down sort of like as follows:
(Just my “Noob” take on things, probably not completely accurate – if at all – and there is no way to include everyone. In any case, it was kind of a fun mental exercise.)
Here goes:
Admin = Senior Class President. And the only one getting an A+ in Advanced Economics class.
Stucky = Class Comedian and voted most popular.
Hardscrabble = All star running back and president of both the FFA & 4H clubs. Also the only one getting A’s in both Creative Writing and Modern Literature.
llPOH = Star Quarterback & Homecoming King.
Maggie = Head of the school ROTC club. Co-Captain of the cheerleading team. And the only girl in Shop class.
BEA LEVER = Co-Captain of the cheerleading team. Debate Team Captain
DUTCHMAN and SENSETTI = Co-captains of the football team. Occasionally suspended for fighting and spitting on the girls. Keep your hands off Maggie or Sensetti will place you upside down in a dumpster.
EL Cibernetico = Leader of the infamous EL BANDITO GANG consisting of EL Coyote, EL Chingon & EL Chorizo, EL Creyente (and more still coming over the border?) – all of whom are especially dangerous when they bring their switch blades to school.
RISE UP / ROB in NOVIA SCOTIA / JFISH (and kind of sorta maybe, Indentured Servant?) = Pot smoking underclassman. Navigating between class periods on skateboards, with earbuds in place and the music cranked waaaaay up.
(I know I am missing BB, GM, SSS & many, many more. These are more vague to me, still)

I LAUGHED OUT LOUD. “And the only girl in Shop class.” I WAS the only girl in shop class and I build a lovely key holder I still own, stashed away in a box of my things I was accused of stealing from my parents’ home. I asked Nick if he wanted to use it and he said “Sure, why not? It looks good. Needs varnish.”
High praise indeed from my perfectionist hubs.
HSF, I apologize for not realizing that quantity here is more appealing than quality. Next time EC and I bicker on one of your posts, I’ll just keep my mouth/keyboard shut.
Jfish, anyone you failed to give a role in your high school musical can be the Principal and Faculty. I really wasn’t the cheerleading type… I liked to play sports, not cheer for them. This is me testing for my green belt 15 years ago. I always pretended the boards were cheerleaders.

You know that stuff doesn’t matter to me, one comment a hundred, same/same. I’m grateful anyone reads at all and I’m thrilled that Andy Griffith gets some of his much overlooked due. A lot of people don’t know that he was a stand up comic before he became an actor.
Maggie says: HSF, I apologize for not realizing that quantity here is more appealing than quality.
Quality Matters. Sometimes comments go the way of the two martini walk on the beach, step, step, dunk.
Mags, you and Jfish didn’t understand the meaning of getting the 100th comment and you didn’t know Uncle Stucky loves to crow when he hits 200 comments on his articles, for him quantity means validation for his oft-abused ego. I don’t know which he abuses more, his ego or his dick.
I do know what I know. I referred to Maggie as a “lady” in order to deny that Bea is one. Get it? I was trying to let Jfish know in the most tactful manner possible after he told both Mags and Bea, G’nite, ladies.
MAN! HSF – are you ever going not expand my world? I never knew…. 1st Face in the Crowd / Kazan & now this.
Here’s the kicker… I was going to save this for closer to 300. But, I looked like an ugly Opie growing up. But my dad looked just like Andy Griffith. He was a good lookin’ dude. People in our small town used to always comment it. My. How the worm does turn…

Oh, and the little male bunny who bit my cousin’s toddler has a new home with a nice old lady who needs a pet bunny. I know you were concerned about where Injun Joe was going to end up — in a frying pan or as someone’s pet.
Someone’s pet, though I don’t know the old lady. She might be gonna eat him.

He flew the plane while sitting on his helmet? So his priority was keeping his balls intact rather than keeping the plane aloft?

EL Chameleon – I was the baby of my family – my oldest bro was 14 years older than me and was a jungle fighter in Thailand. My next oldest sibling was 10 years older than me. FUCK! I never get a break around here. I ain’t sayin my year of birth because then the NSA will really have my ass.
Why make it easy…
ANYWAY – enough about all that I’m over it. NOW – I have another problem and I need help. My daughter is home from college and she has two (2) suitors this Christmas. One is soulful. The other has balls.
The only way I can summarize is by taking the same song and comparing the two. One by the “Edge” and the other by Jack White as follows:

My baby girl seems conflicted. I am not sure either.
One is mellow like “the Edge” in the 1st rendition, ya know?
The other is flippin’ fearless, unpredictable, original and “balls to the wall” like in the 2nd…
I will figure it out.
In the meantime, I am taking “monkey votes” for anyone who chooses to weigh in.

So JFish really IS a spy? Well, I’ll be hornswoggled.
My father was a POW in WWII Japan. When I graduated as Valedictorian of my high school class, he agreed to upgrade my Vega to a better used car, since I was so durned smart. (Ahem, remember that I partied too much that first year and lost my scholarship because I let my GPA drop below 3.0. WAY below 3.0. Barely clinging to 2.1, in fact, but I digress…)
So, while out looking for used cars, I came upon a Triumph TR7 and a VW Beetle Convertible, either of which I believed would make me the coolest freshman on campus. Well, my father looked at them and told me that the British officers in his POW camp were absolutely worthless and that he wouldn’t buy anything designed by a Brit. He said that he wasn’t around any Germans, but some of the POWs he was brothers with had been in the European theater and said the Germans were smart, but they were so damn cheap that all their equipment broke down all the time and Dad said just on their comments, he wouldn’t buy a German car.
Finally, my boss at the IGA where I worked, said his brother-in-law had a little Datsun pickup, a five speed, that he was selling for $2500. I asked my father about it reluctantly, thinking that a Japanese car was OUT of the question. He surprised me and told me to drive it and if I liked it and thought it was worth it, buy it.
He said “The Japanese are incredibly good at designing machines. And they take pride in their work. If it is a second owner car, buy it.”
That Datsun ran for years. It was an oddity for a female to drive a truck even then, but I’m not your average “gal.”

He loves good homemade bread and doesn’t really care for slaughtering chickens if he can avoid it (though, he will pitch in when Mom requires assistance because of her weak thumb due to the damned deer jumping in front of her car… oh, I digressed again, oops!)

So Hitler really was yelling at a bunch of incompetents in that bunker?
And your dad, a buck private who nearly got his nuts shot off, gave these gabby Jerrys a ride back to the Reich?
JFish says: Dad – was an aviator in WW II. He used to sit on his helmet for the same reasons cited in Joseph Heller’s “Catch 22”. Basically, so he didn’t get his balls blown off.
He flew the plane while sitting on his helmet? So his priority was keeping his balls intact rather than keeping the plane aloft?
Let’s see, If he was in WW2, you must have been born around 1946 at the head of the baby boom. Yet you never heard of Andy Griffith. Veddy interesting.
I’m back…
EL Chameleon – I was the baby of my family – my oldest bro was 14 years older than me and was a jungle fighter in Thailand. My next oldest sibling was 10 years older than me. FUCK! I never get a break around here. I ain’t sayin my year of birth because then the NSA will really have my ass.
Why make it easy…
ANYWAY – enough about all that I’m over it. NOW – I have another problem and I need help. My daughter is home from college and she has two (2) suitors this Christmas. One is soulful. The other has balls.
The only way I can summarize is by taking the same song and comparing the two. One by the “Edge” and the other by Jack White as follows:
Suitor # 1
Suitor # 2
My baby girl seems conflicted. I am not sure either.
One is mellow like “the Edge” in the 1st rendition, ya know?
The other is flippin’ fearless, unpredictable, original and “balls to the wall” like in the 2nd…
I will figure it out.
In the meantime, I am taking “monkey votes” for anyone who chooses to weigh in.
No biggie. Just thinkin’ bout it all right now….
So JFish really IS a spy? Well, I’ll be hornswoggled.
My father was a POW in WWII Japan. When I graduated as Valedictorian of my high school class, he agreed to upgrade my Vega to a better used car, since I was so durned smart. (Ahem, remember that I partied too much that first year and lost my scholarship because I let my GPA drop below 3.0. WAY below 3.0. Barely clinging to 2.1, in fact, but I digress…)
So, while out looking for used cars, I came upon a Triumph TR7 and a VW Beetle Convertible, either of which I believed would make me the coolest freshman on campus. Well, my father looked at them and told me that the British officers in his POW camp were absolutely worthless and that he wouldn’t buy anything designed by a Brit. He said that he wasn’t around any Germans, but some of the POWs he was brothers with had been in the European theater and said the Germans were smart, but they were so damn cheap that all their equipment broke down all the time and Dad said just on their comments, he wouldn’t buy a German car.
Finally, my boss at the IGA where I worked, said his brother-in-law had a little Datsun pickup, a five speed, that he was selling for $2500. I asked my father about it reluctantly, thinking that a Japanese car was OUT of the question. He surprised me and told me to drive it and if I liked it and thought it was worth it, buy it.
He said “The Japanese are incredibly good at designing machines. And they take pride in their work. If it is a second owner car, buy it.”
That Datsun ran for years. It was an oddity for a female to drive a truck even then, but I’m not your average “gal.”
Even if you are only 55, your baby girl has to be around 35. I’d say tell her to marry whoever. At this point what difference does it make?
I believe in arranged marriage.
11 more to 300.
A few years ago, more than ten, the sexy mulatta commented on the number of women driving tractor-trailers. Now, My brother in law says there are lots of women driving trucks, mostly white women. I guess somebody has to support all these metro guys keeping house for them.
So it’s true about the farmer’s daughter.

I was checking out TBP and noticed that this was still going and like passing a car wreck on highway I couldn’t help but crane a look.
HSF, EXACTLY. Which is why I am STILL trying to convince my son that the Mennonite cabin builder’s 15 year old daughter is PERFECT for him. He loves good homemade bread and doesn’t really care for slaughtering chickens if he can avoid it (though, he will pitch in when Mom requires assistance because of her weak thumb due to the damned deer jumping in front of her car… oh, I digressed again, oops!)
So, the lovely Louisa Anna Yoder would be perfect! He’s always griping about the girls at college being too “high maintenance”… why not let Mom take care of it all?
EL Ciber… Never heard of Andy Griffith as a “comedian”. dumbass. Also – never heard of “face in a crowd” or Kazan.
U guys and your “spies”. Bleh… Whatever.. call me a liar & you’re gonna’ get “bitched slapped”. If U care 2 … Vote above.
Then fuck off. Luv U… 🙂
How very interesting is this? the 300 club?
At this point, it will be a toss up to see who hits the 300 mark…
