You mention cleavage, corset...and hint it was something to see, but no photos? You sir are a tease.

I, madam, wasn't in charge of the camera :-)

Well sir, you should have the camera holder flogged and sent to the gallows!

Off with the minion's head!!

Since TNT was the camera holder, there will be floggings.

Possibly head ;-)

What I found most amusing was your reaction to the culinary "delights" and unrelenting smoke.

Why thank you Harvey! It was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife. I look forward to getting together again sometime :)

I'm a bit slow in response, but thanks Harv (even though you are definately a HORRIBLE judge of character)...Hmmmm...sad fact of the matter is: After you and TNT left, Ktreva took a pic of my corseted boobs so I could FINALLY see them for myself.

I felt the need to apologize to all for what I had subjected them to...They're friggin' HUUUUUGE.

Harvey there was someone on that podcast that sounds just like you... *grin* And how come FrankJ wasn't asking any of you if he looked like a ninja when he stands like this???

Wanted to download but it takes 49 minutes on my dialup. Maybe when I get broadband I'll go back and take a listen!

Congrats on the technological innovation.

Start the download just before bed & listen to it in the morning, maybe?

I took broadcasting back in college, and actually was told that I had a good face for radio.
However, the rack was not mentioned.

Thank you for welcoming my blogson and being there through the whole, entire, gruelling labor.

He's a fit...just as sick and demented as the rest of the family!

Thank you Harvey. I look forward to your visits and am proudly displaying the Bad Example Family logo on my site.

Is that penguin blood in Glenns glass?
Are those Penguin testicles on his plate?
Just wondering.

I thought we were about the same age? what on earth is "Age of Shoe-Shaped Toys Made From Wood????"

GOD I remember that couch!
fell asleep on It once, I still have that fabric pattern on the side of my face.

Ah, wooden toys! Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys--lots of tiny parts to swallow or put your eye out with! Those were the days...

Toys ~ "smoys" ...I'd be the kid playing with that cardboard box! LOL! [Note to Harvey: Thanks for being head over heels in love with your wife. I dig your Love Notes. I am currently stealing as many as fit my situation. Hope you don't mind. Kudos to you and your love! ~ :D]

I remember those toys in my nursery school! Of course they were old toys by then.

*running away quickly*

Dorko - Mind? Hell, that's one of the reasons I *post* them :-)

Lee Ann - Truth be told, these were old toys when they got to ME, too. Judging by the decorations on them, I'm guessing these were originally bought to entertain my 4 oldest siblings, which places these things circa late 40's, early 50's.

...having trouble finding the right hole, here...

Ah, the sphincter factor...

ewwwwwww...

I love the stand. I will always remember the Lincoln tunnel scene.

P.J. is a hoot - I wish I could learn to take something as deep and serious as politics and be that rip-roaring funny!

Anthony's good. We all need to be continually reminded that we are not victims in life.

Dark Knight Returns is a tremendous book; it gets very little credit since it's a comic book though. You may want to check out Watchmen and Maus, as well.

I have a copy of Watchmen, which I've read 2 or 3 times. Love it.

Maus... I read it once as a teenager, but was unimpressed. Could have been that I was too young to appreciate it, not knowing my history & all.

If you're looking for good comic books, I recommend "V for Vendetta" (Alan Moore, David Lloyd) and also Joss Whedon's "Fray".

heh 1,000s of books all over the house and only read one from your list. But Atlas Shrugs is one of those reads that are simply requisite for any literate person, IMO.

I've almost stopped reading non-fiction (except for history, blogs--what few aren't some flavor of "creative writing" :-), cos most of it seems to be outdated within a week. Heck, by the time a "non-fiction" book on some aspect of science or technology is published, it may as well be fiction.

Tried reading some self-help books. They did help, some. Got to sleep easier whenever I tried to read 'em. Hmmm.... maybe that's the key!

A nice recent change. With so many books in every nook and cranny here, eBooks have proven to be a godsend. Added another 9,500 recently—for FREE!—from Gutenberg (though many of those are duplicates of books I already have in print copies). Some books I've simply been unable to find for years, now on DVD in etext. Hog heaven.

The Stand.
Wow.
I feel like I know those people.
Who scares me? - Captain Trips, Randall Flag!
Yikes!!!

I was looking to buy The Dark Knight Returns on one lazy Sunday in Tucson from R Galaxy, where it was supposedly cheap. Lo, it was closed and I remain Dark Night Returnsless.

The funny thing about DNR is I recall you posting a quote from it a while ago http://badexample.mu.nu/archives/033405.php, and once I was at my house and I brought up that page and read the quote to my friend, who finished the quote and produced the book from a small stack he had been carrying around that evening.

So, I've never read Dark Knight Returns, but I've seen the part where he says that.

Music I heard with you was more than music,
And bread I broke with you was more than bread.
Now that I am without you, all is so desolate;
And all that once was so beautiful is dead.

I am amused.

Hey, you accidentally put an "s" at the end of "Alien."

Just thought I'd point it out to you.

Heh! Matty got you! And you were afraid of those of us in the BE family... Sheesh!

Chuck = there are 4 Alien movies. The first and second is Alien and Aliens,so Harvey is not wrong. I own about 20 DVD'S or more and over 600 VHS movies. I had more but my kids sometimes borrow them and never bring them back. I'm a movie freak, I guess.

Cindy

The Princess Bride is a great quote source!
My favorite ...

Inigo Montoya: Who are you?
Westley: No one of consequence.
Inigo Montoya: I must know.
Westley: Get used to disappointment.

firstbrokenangel,

There are five Alien movies, not four.

I was just trying to start a heated argument over which Alien movie was better.

My vote, obviously, goes for Alien.

Though the ladder scene in Alien Resurection is the best scene in the series.

Heh. By chance I've also just tagged you with something very much like this, except it's books. These things come in waves, I guess.

Chuck - are you counting Alien vs. Predator?

Linus - saw it. It's on the to-do list :-)

I came over via Prochein Amy. I did this meme today, too. Princess Bride is a good one.

Have I told you lately that I hate you with a passion? ;P Well, at least it's movies....

Susie - as long as there's passion involved :-)

ALIENSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS is on right now if you're a midnight owl like me. One o'clock on TNT. I forgot about number 5 where she's really a clone. - that was stupid. and didn't count Alien vs Predator and wouldn't watch that one either. Sort of like Jason vs Freddy. Alien with an S ie ALIENS butI'm going to watch FREQUENCY although I already own it.

Cindy

My favorite conversation from the princess bride is ..

"I'm calling the brute squad"
"I'm on de brute squad"
"You ARE the brute squad."

"Have fun storming the castle!"

Heehee.

Alien vs. Predator was a fun movie. I'm just sayin'...

As far as I know, the movies that revolve around Giger's Aliens are:

Alien
Aliens
Alien3
Alien Resurrection
Alien vs. Predator

I thought AVP was alright, but just because it couldn't dream of living up to the first two movies doesn't mean it shouldn't be counted on the list of them, I say.

*drool*

Machelle,

I'm on the same link as you but I could do without the work boots, so I'll take whatever you pass on. :-)

Cindy

Ah, you see Cindy, it's the work boots that do it.

Ya I know, strange fetish.

Personally, I can do without the boots... and the shirt. ;-)

Hot Damn!! It's a birthday present for ALL of us!!!

WooHoo!!

I'm so glad Machelle has a birthday! ;)

I tried, but the GM1 refuses to pose. Coy bastard.

Wow, STILL talking about slutty cheerleaders

"On the other hand, if it's done correctly, it's a LOT of fun."

Damn! Wish I'd thought of that one...

Chase - you say that like it's a BAD thing
:-)

Teresa - I don't think you would've printed it. You're too decent :-)

Now see? This is just the type of bad example philosophy I've been talking about, folks! Rock on Harvey!

...That, and I'm trying to get into your pants...

Oh, how I [verb] you! I am [verb] sure that you are the [adjective1], most [adjective2], most [adjective3] woman who ever lived. I am not expressing an opinion, I am simply stating a [adverb] fact.

LOL!!! I think I injured my septum, I was laughing so hard.

Does anything with "Butt" in it violate rule #1?

Hunh. I thought for sure Ogre would want to make sure it had llama in the title!

I have a hard time coming up with names that aren't paradies of the actual name of a product.

Sadly Ogre, yes "butt" is outta the question. LOL

If no profanity is allowed you can just about rule out anyone in the BEF coming up with a name then.

No LLAMA!!!!! How about Stars and Stripes?

Big Dipper? The man in the moon? Moonbats?

Tangibles? Wish you gave us more to go on.

Road Warrier? Prove it! News Paper? Oh Shit?

I'm probably way off in what you want.

Cindy

rápiterno. Combination of two Spanish words

rápido = fast

Eterno = timeless

Cyclone. Fast. Funnels (think info) Does some real damage (think competition)... one may be caught up in a whirlwind of data on the outside looking in ~ but in the midst of it all ~ from the eye looking out, all is calm and command. Links heaven and earth. Cool sound effects...(think train rush, or ripping 'windows' off their hinges)... the 'clone part suggest ability to replacate. Ok. Done playing... gotta look for Toto now.

Here's what Scot Adams recommends, something that has to do with space in general because of its infinity and then something to do with the workings of a computer. Try "Uranus Hertz".

I know, I know, I'm late. So what, you weren't going to use it anyway.

Wish I could say that about a man?

Any available?

(smile)

Cindy

...No... wait... that's the mushrooms kicking in...

Love make me type funny. Me want love make world happy place...me nap now.

=)

eww, Harv, stop spreading your magic all over the place! And put your magic wand back in your drawers!

And by magic I mean you mouth.

this brings a whole new meaning to Ronald McDonald's song, Do You Believe in Magic? . . .

So why don't you shake your sweet ass over here, and "touch" this.....

Unless someone has a link that is incorrect, I never comment on someone's writing. I never tell them about spelling, grammatical or punctuation. I'm not perfect, so I don't point out others' mistakes.

That said, my Dad will sometimes e-mail me and say, "Yo, you meant 'site' not 'sight'" and that's cool. He's my Dad. It's usually an oversight when I make a mistake like that, but sometimes... hey, I'm so far from perfect, it's not funny.

Link mistakes, however, like my big link mistake for last carnival of the recipes e-mail address, I was really happy when Caltechgirl caught it and put it my comments. It was a quick way to get my attention and correcting my link mistakes NEVER offends me.

Just my 2 cents.

My first thought when someone corrects me is, "Oh shit, do they think I'm an idiot?" Even though the correction is meant out of kindness.

I seem to a remember a time when I wrote something about my instructor in school misspelling calendar and I misspelled something in my post. You gave me a lot of traffic from that by posting it on your blog! :-)

Great rib-poking fun!

Oh, I remember that, Sissy! That was funny. Harvey made it a contest to see who could find it.

Harvey, I think you just happen to LIKE bending over backwards...

It's safer than bending over forwards :-)

ba ZING!

I don't point out others mistakes in general. I make them and I know others do to, so I figure it all balances out. I don't mind if someone tells me I made a mistake, but that also doesn't meant I'm going to fix it either. My spelling, grammer and punctuation is pretty bad. If it wasn't for spell check my blog would be done phonetically

Ironically?

"The appearance of honest confusion on the part of a reader in never offensive"

Crap!

I think I'll leave that one in, because there's a corrollary to Murphy's Law that states that any post about typographical errors will contain at least one typographical error.

Good eye :-)

I never learned to spell. I have been told it can be attributed to fact that I read too quickly--I never learned to "break down and sound out" words, so their component parts just appear to my brain as a whole entity. This is why I keep a dictionary to hand at all times. However, unless a word looks funny to me, like "corrollary", I don't look it up.... ;)

Anyone who blogs makes more than their share of mistakes with spelling and grammar. Unless, the mistake changes the meaning they're trying to convey... I generally don't worry about it.

I have even done previews... only to hit "post" on a comment and THEN see a mistake... sheesh! AND I have a spell checker for Firefox which I use and I've STILL had misspellings - it just happens. As Bou says "site" and "sight" will both pass the spell checker without a problem.

Susie - What's the matter? Not enough r's for you?

Fine:

corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrollary :-P

Someone should tell phin that "knucklehead" is one word, not two...

*ducking*

I actually corrected phin in the comments on that post so he would call himself a knucklehead. I'm mean like that. I misspell stuff all the time too. And we never take off points for grammatical errors at my blog.

One blogger that I regularly read, had gone into a bit of a tirade on a post about bad spelling, grammar, and how people should know better and proof their posts. Then in his very next post, he mis-used there/their. I asked him if that was how they spelled it in Texas. He blustered back and said of course it is, yada yada yada.
I checked back a couple hours later and he had found the error. He commented, "I'll bet that felt good, didn't it?"
Well, under the circumstances, yes.

However, I type many posts in a rush between here and there, I try to proof them, but you can invariably catch something from each day. Feel free to comment. I don't mind!

I don't mind the occasional incorrect spelling, grammar, etc.

What drives me nuts are people who can barely form a coherant sentence.

Granted, you find that in comments more than blog posts, but still...

As for blog posts, you should hound those people without mercy for incorrect spelling, unless it's me, then you should update your spellchecker to reflect my genius because that's obviously how the word was MEANT to be spelled...

(Grau ducks from random spoiled produce tossed his direction)

I luv ya, Harv! ;P

Close your fucking cake hole... you misspelling dickhead!

The Simpsons do not rock. They haven't rocked for years. I really don't give a crap about Gould. Gould isn't funny, and he isn't significant. You don't have to know anything about reality or something that isn't reality but is reality based to know about him -- you just have to be a nerd.

If you want social commentary, watch South Park. If you want hip pop culture references, watch Family Guy or even better Sealab 2021 and Robot Chicken.

Hey, I like this guy above's http address. I assume he's had issues being a dumbass before.

Well... THAT could've gone better.

Anyway, I have to admit that - for reasons of maintaining marital bliss - I haven't caught a lot of Simpsons since about season 9 and am therefore not qualified to comment on those episodes.

Before THAT, though, I enjoyed the Simpsons for the pop-culture references.

Family Guy - ditto. And FG has snappier pacing, so it's more fun to watch.

South Park - well, I'm a fan of "immature toilet humor", so I like that, too :-)

Sissy - although I appreciate your coming to my defense, Phelps and I actually go way back with the Alliance, and he wasn't trolling me, he was just being opinionated.

Is that what that meant? Hell, I checked to make sure that my link wasn't broken. I guess since it wasn't... what the hell does that mean?

I guess I should have put a ;-) after that! Sorry, I'm a Simpsons fan! Dad has raised us on Simpsons!

No troll performing intended...just my dumb sense of humor and my lack of ability to communicate it :-)

Actually, that IS an odd URL... is there a story behind the "donotremove" thing, Phelps?

The thing I have always loved about the Simpsons is the show works on so many different levels. Yes there is the easy stuff "man hit in groin by football" but then there is the stuff that falls under the "Dennis Miller Factor" you know when you are the only one in the room laughing.

Best example of this the episode where Bart sells his soul to Milhouse.

the following exchange between Bart and Lisa

Lisa "Pablo Neruda says that laughter is the language of the soul"
Bart "I am well aware of the works of Pablo Neruda" smugly.

Stuff like that goes over the heads of 75%-85% of the people watching.

and yes the show has fallen off in last couple of seasons but come on still one of the greatest shows of all times

sorry for running on there Harvey. Simpsons are the closes thing to a religon I have got lol.

Regards
GBfan

GBFan - Of course, if you're going to name an altar of pop-culture references to worship at, I think it's only proper to genuflect in the direction of MST3K (praise be their name).

The Simpsons do Rock. I love the Simpsons. Yes, they have been sliding down hill. But look how long they have been on the air, I think the writers/story lines are just plane running out of viable good material.

Family guy is funny, It's another show I like to watch.

South Park. I enjoy South Park, especially when I want to shut my brain down sit on the couch and just veg out.

I used to love the Simpsons and had a theory about the show, that just about every big event in your own personal life can probably correlate to the show in some way - sorta like that episode of South Park "Simpson's did it!"

The story is that I had the intention of possibly expanding to host other people too (which I have indeed done) and it was kind of a lame attempt at turning the spammers against themselves. They slurp addresses from Usenet, and are smart enough to remove the REMOVE stuff that people put in thier email addresses. I figured that if remove really was part of the address, then all the spam bots that use that method would instead break my address.

I don't think it worked that well (it seems that there are a lot more that slurp DNS records) but it was cute.

It took me a couple of years to be able to watch the Simpsons (ditto Rugrats--I have nieces and nephews) because the animation was so jarring visually. I grew up with Bugs Bunny and Walt Disney, and it looked to me like it was done by someone who couldn't draw. Now ALL animation looks like that...

Oddy - Have to agree. There's a Simpsons quote for nearly EVERY life situation.

Phelps - Ah. That makes sense. That domain name's been making me curious since the first time I saw it.

Susie - I blame Hanna-Barbera for the decline in American animations standards. At least the Simpsons don't constantly re-use backgrounds and hope that no-one notices.

GOD! I *hate* Hanna-Barbera! Top to bottom, nothing but cheap animations & crappy dialogue.

Bastards.

If you hate HB Harvey never I repeat never watch Cartoon Networks Boomarang channel TNT will find you with your head in the oven and a no funeral sign on your back lol :)

GBfan

You're wrong Harvey: You should only praise MST3K when Joel was on. Mike is ok, but he's no Joel. Didn't they get a chick now?

As for HB, they suck, but have you watched Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law?

Genius. I especially enjoyed the "Fred Flintstone/Soprano" and the "Shaggy and Scooby running from the police" episodes.

Grau - Agreed, Joel was The One And Only.

What's that, little birdie? "Caw-caw-caw..." Loosely translated: "Polly want a beating?"

Glenn Beck, a conservative talk show host, flushed a copy of Newsweek down the crapper on the radio the other day. I say we flush the company to Europe.

A non-guided tour of the back alleys of Kabul for the non-fact-checking reporter(s) and their immediate supervisors.

Ya know, if you guys post those suggestions at your own blogs and ping the assignment post, you can get a link in the round-up :-)

...Not to mention all those OTHER great things you do with your mouth...

. . .however if you knew half of what I'm imagining about you and I right now, you'd run screaming from the house . . .

you make me horney.........:-)

Cindy

*chuckle*

Hey thanks for the props!

Thank YOU for writing a prop-worthy post :-)

http://discussions.pbs.org/viewtopic.pbs?t=28529

I've already started a letter!!

I've copied and pasted to a word doc - looks okay to me I will print it out and send it to him along with a letter tomorrow. *grin*

Other than some decent character-recogntion software (which is still in infancy even at top of the line)...

Direct transciption.

Teresa - THANKS! Maybe it is just 'one of those weeks' for me. Sissy - THANKS! I'm sure he will appreciate the mail. PTC - Teresa took care of it. Phew.

Or... you could do a view page source, grab the code, and strip out all the extra crapola...

That's because they gave them to the good example! ;)

So I can be a groupie too, right? I mean, you're one of the REASONS I started blogging and I read all your blog tips and I'm your 'biggest fan'.... ;-) OK, TNT can be your biggest fan.

These groupies... are they Harvey AT Bad Example groupies, or are they Bad Example Family groupies? Do I have to sign autographs or anything? Can I start throwing temper tantrums in the Green Room if my Evian water isn't precisely twelve degrees Farenheit below ambient room temperature? Can I shut down entire international airports for hours, while my personal hairstylist is brought to BEF1 to do my hair? Can I send my gardener to Office Max for a box of Moveable Type, call all my "pretty friends" and claim I have a blog? Can I fall down on the ski slopes and blame it on my personal body guards in crude language?

'Cause, man, if you're pulling my leg here, I'm gonna be mighty disappointed...

Bou - You're a groupie now :-)

PC - Leech! Get your own freakin' groupies :-P

Hmmm...I'm your BIGGEST FAN..I'm YOUR biggest fan..seems to me I've read that same line somewhere before yes and there was somthing about a 2x4 and a sledge hammer to....Oh I'm sure it will come to me don't worry harvey I'm sure It's nothing.

If Bou is a groupie and I'm a groupie and we are all related to you... does that make in-cest best?

When did you add this? Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:

Your comment could not be submitted due to questionable content: in-cest

In-cest is best no matter WHO the groupies are.

Anyway, you're a groupie now, and the reason why in-cest is blacklisted is that there was some VERY nasty comment spam with that word that came through a while back.

Groupies huh? That's kind of scarey. Groupies are only a half step away from stalker.

The day before I started blogging, I read every one of your blogging tips post! I didn't want to anger any of the blog gods, so I figured I better know the insides. If it wasn't for you, I may have been sacrificed at some alter somewhere!

I still refer to those things every once in awhile and I think I'll be putting together a dummy version for Spurs. (not that he's a dummy, but...well...he needs....uh...nevermind)

First there was the whole kiss the ring thing... now there are groupies... I sense a trend... I think Harvey is becoming a blog god!

Not to worry, Teresa. With my dyslexia, Harvey will always be the blog dog.

Did someone say groupie? Put me on the list.

You know that whole insect thing..I don't get it? Why would bugs have anything to do with groupies?

Oh wait, you mean the other..heheh

"Nothing says lovin' like a kid from a cousin"

Hey thanks! I've never been a groupie before! :-)

Contagion - already got me a stalker:

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/

I really hope I don't become a blog god. I'd have to stop believing in myself :-)

Oh, and Blogless Brother - please stop quoting from Stephen King's Misery. You're weirding me out, man :-P

how does one permalink?

Told you I was stupid without you. :-)

Cindy

Any specifics on who the chicks are on your logo for this?

Angel - the permalink I was referring to in my post was the URL of the post that links to one of my blogging articles.

If *you* want to be a groupie, just ask, and I'll add you. I *already* know you appreciate my advice :-)

Amy - are you volunteering? You can be the one on the right. I like where her hands are ;-)

May I humbly beg that you add me as a Bad Example Groupie?
i followed your advice on getting Note tab light.
I might have to upgrade to the pro ver. just for the spell check.

The best basic education on blogging I've found yet.

And here I tell the world of your greatness.
Too bad they don't listen to me ;>

-Steve

Aaaauuuugggghhhh!

All I wanted to do was learn how to draw millions of meandering minions to my ... Oh ... heh
Have you been sitting there long?

(currently adopting my most winning smile) :-)

Nice place ya got here, Harvey, really. I can't seem to drag my amused self outta here and get back to my own blog. (hiccup!) Whaddaya put in the permalinks here anyway?

~ Stacy ~

...And occasionally with hard-boiled eggs and a can of Crisco...

Eggs???

Every once in a while you have to do something new to keep the sex life spicy ;-)

Sometimes we can't actually move our hands..

Wow. I've heard stories from some Asian strip clubs dealing with eggs... but I just thought it was one of those, "Don't try this at home folks!" type things. ;-)

Do I *really* need to do the post about what I saw in Pattaya Beach that I *couldn't* take pictures of? :-)

If you want to spice up you sex life I think tabasco would do the job, eggs? they just ain't spicy.

And the yolks they crumble to easily.

...and in my mind's eye you are beautifully adorned, slathered, and ready for my next course!

Harvey,
Are you talking about "Balut" eggs?

Machelle - depends on how much Crisco you use...

Michele - Balut???

*flees in terror*

...that we have torn out of your latest victims. Enzyte Bob has taught us a new way to live, and we whistle his praise...

LOL!!!!!!

I think I am most impressed by the fact that someone had a rubber stamp made that says that.

I personally think it's easier to leave comments on blogger when it has the comment box pop up vs going to another page. I have the most issues trying to post comments when it directs me to their comment page.

Also, when I'm writing a comment, I like to refer back to the post, which can't be done if you are now on another page.

Just my two cents.

This is easy to change in your settings in blogger.

I've add HaloScan and kept Blogger comments as well, giving people a choice.

From the mouth of the king. I was not aware sir...thank you

Not a bad idea, Harvey my good man. I may have to steal it and claim it as my own.

You're supposed to leave comments, why, now?

You're SUPPOSED to leave comments to interact with other people.

OR you can do it as a cheap stunt to get traffic.

[glares at Ogre]

:-P

Can I answer this in a week?

(And yes, I remember watching that show....shush Bou!)

yeah I remember that show thats the gun nut Burt Gummer.

Thats you but more smiley.

I say an 8.

Yep. 8. Not exact but pretty damned close.

Wow! Just add a set of gills, a large knot on the forehead, and an eye patch, and he looks just like you!

Since he only looks like a normal version of you, I give it a 7.3!

I have to go with about an 8. It's how I orriginally recognized you the first time I met you. You had said you looked like Michael Gross.

I'd say a 7.5.

I'd give an 8, but your beard is groomed way better than that :)

Yeah, I'm at a 7.

And, Sissy, I'm not THAT old!

You know, you made this reference before I met you, and I TRIED to see the resemblence, but I only give it a 3...maybe four on a good tooth day.

I see another side-by-side blog post over at my place coming... last time it was the Olsen twins. This time, it'll be the cartoon of you, in the top right column, vs. the picture in this post.

While you're busy collecting opinions from people who have met you, I'll be basing my research on the pure photographic evidence!

The person in this picture has a nose. And all his teeth.

Yeah, well, it's me... pre-syphillis...

If that IS your picture, then you have a hot TV daughter.

What a cutie! Looking innocent is half the battle.... ;)

I'm diggin' the bike in the background!

No beard! I suppose that didn't come along until a week or two later. ;)

Cute what-do-you-call-em? Dungarees, or overalls?

And you're cute too, of course!

Definitely a cutie...

uh in your case it's
Bwahahahahahahahaha

Dude...you head WAS enormous! It wasn't just an exagerated story for blog-fodder.

...Oh, and while you're out, pick me up a 6-pack of Guinness, wouldya?...

Sure, I'll get you a guiness... I'll also get you some psychotropics while i'm out there... but you have to let go of my legs first, so I can to RUN to the store. I'll be back...I promise!

Life has Loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fires that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up,
Holding wonder like a cup

Life has Loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of Gold,
Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
Eyes that Love you,arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy stars that star the night.

Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of Peace
Count many a year of strife well lost
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.

Buy it?

Hell, I *married* it :-)

...and that's only because I haven't sighted in the new rifle yet. Cheap-ass Wallyworld rifles...#$@%!^$@

It's bullshit, pure and simple, but you know what?

I almost wish they were targeting the assholes.

The way the motherfuckers are backstabbing our troops, seeing a Marine Sniper with a string of trophy microphones might bitchslap some fucking sense into these assholes.

Ok, not really, but the image is attractive...

WOW. And there's a fuckin' tape this time. Kick ass!

OK, technically, there was a tape last time, with Jordan, but whoever headed up that conference refused to ever release it.

JunkyardBlog has done an awesome job of documenting this one.

#10. I Must Have That Man!

*ROFL!* Thanks fer that one, Harv!

Glad I could be an example for you! :)

Contagion, Harvey likes boobie pictures if you have any.

No thanks. I don't want to see Contagion's boobies. Yuck. Man Boobs.

Someone should study this family!! Let's all go on Springer! :-)

Springer would run out of the studio screaming :-)

I thought sycophantic up-sucking was a good thing... ;)

Never said it wasn't. Just pointing out that there's a difference :-)

Yeah...go on Springer, and invite me as the nosy neighbor.

"Honestly Jerry, there's some weird *bleep* going on with them there Bad Example folks. I mean, just the other *bleep* day, I saw that Harvey, and Contagion *bleep* the *bleep* out of a *bleep*ing llama. It was *bleep* strange I tell ya!."

Wow, I'm honored. :-)

now this time, let's try the vanilla flavored syrup . . .

Bet you didn't know they made chocolate flavored Reddi-Whip.

and sticky, oh so sticky.

Next time, save me some you selfish bitch.

When it come to chocolate it's all for me and none for you! All you'll ever get is the lingering taste on my tongue; and come to think of it, not even then with that nasty attitude!!!

*does homegirl snap*

She toooollllddd YOU! :-)

Whewww! Glad to see you guys took the high road.

I was scared that this was going to be some weird scheisse pr-0n post.

Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you like hell.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, Letters, 1952

Actually, back when pokemon was big in America, the city of Topika(sp) officially renamed itself To Pikachu for two days.

This reminds me of a joke about a Jamaican jail. Too bad I can't remember the joke.

I saw that... very funny!

Keep it up Harvey, one day you will be the Filthy Lie King.

He's already admitting to robot-dancing, I see. It won't be long before he's gloating about his evil publishing empire, I'm sure.

.. rock on, Harv...

I love your chaff, Harv! ;)

Congratualations on the near instalaunch by the king of penguin porn and robot dancing. "Chaff", not soo bad.

All hail the King of Chaff! *grin*

More like "chafe".

As in it really chafes me that Frank has like 4 lies under his belt, and I've got about 100, and Glenn won't even spit in my direction :-(

Worst part was I didn't see any referrals from that Google search, either.

That puppy drinking guff hasn't even ever mentioned my name. really, I'm highly insulted, hurt, wounded to the core.

(Rachel Ann quickly looks up the word guff, making certain it really isn't a four letter word she missed in her limited foul-language classes, and found it reallymeant a foul smell or wind, is inapproriate for the center, but as I said I'm wounded to the core at the moment nd don't rightly care.)

Herbey... you are one lyin' sumbitch... that's about the best thing I have to say about you....

MW - Coming from YOU, that's a compliment, and I'll take it :-P

Well, at least you came in 2nd, no matter the reason. Congrats, you deserve it - also no matter the reason.

Hugs,

Cindy

Took me a minute (had to realize that there was a hyperlink on that word...), but I got it, and I wanted to say - that's still pretty good. You're closer to an Instalanche than most of us may ever be.

I've just noticed Alex on page two. That's not fair!

And if you think I'm beautiful, the drugs are working!

If you think my eyes are beautiful....you should see them in the bedroom.

... and if you keep staring at me in that tone of voice, you're gonna get a Map of Michigan...

Guess what else is looking at you?

:D

penguins pooping, thats hot....

Ah yes. I'd forgotten that Evil Glenn was once merely a seller of this filth, before he started "sampling the produce" as it were..

...So if you love me, you'll attach those jumper cables to my nipples & start the car...

. . . honey, I just need to know how the car got in the bed room in the first place . . .

and don't forget, the exta cable gets connected to this.

Now honey, I told you that vibe wasn't bathtub safe...

Pamela - You go on for as long as you want :-)

As for the Edna quote - too true. Which is what the Love Notes are all about. A little emotional maintenance every day. It would've been easy to stop giving her love notes after I ran out of the paper ones. This way, she is still reminded, and one of the "little ways" does not die.

It looks more like a "Cleveland Steamer"

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cleaveland+steamer&r=f

ROTFL!

Never heard that one before :-)

Harv, If you haven't already been there you really should check out:

http://www.getoffended.com

LOL!

Are you blind! It's the president from the star trek evil alternate universe.

I actually had to check a 5 for that one, I wasn't sure

>Wait! Lincoln doesn't have a moustache.

Hahahaha...From Freedom Fanatic to Festering Felon, with a Flick of a Fountain.

(((WICKED)))

Dirty Sanchez? Cleveland Steamer? Didn't know what they were. Checked out the urban dictionary... then getoffended.com Some sick people out there. But had to buy a few of the shirts from Get Offended.com Thanks for the info. My wife is still lost, "What's a Shocker?" she said while washing the new tee.

Harv, I think you need to adjust the link at the IMAO post on the Reynolds video...there's a redirect due to hotlinking. Say it ain't so, Harv!

Nevermind....

I'm leaving this one alone!!

What, no comment about the funny tingling feeling on your tounge?

Drat! I always spell tongue wrong the first time.

I'm totally not touching this one... I'm sad to say, this one was even easy for me.

I so want to go here, and make it worse than it is....but won't

Well, it's my understanding that women really like the chocolate . . .

If hot chocolate were good, they'd sell it in a can.

I too will be reserved today. But oh how this can get nasty!

And like hot chocolate, you may feel a painful burning sensation afterwards with "love" as well.

LittleJoe! YAY!

I'm glad to see SOMEONE has the nerve to go for it on this one :-)

You don't?

I swear I've actually had this dollar in my posession before.

"Animals have rights"

This is because filthy hippies must tell the world that they actually have rights... otherwise we'd put them in a cage and poke them with pointed sticks... right?

Unless you can match the serial number, I'll have to doubt you.

Thing is, the "I GREW HEMP" stamp is the most popular currency defacement in America with the exception of "www.wheresgeorge.com"

Teresa - Personally, I cage & poke hippies anyway, just for fun :-)

Sorry, I'm not that analytical that I track the serial numbers on my money.... yet. But I'm pretty sure I've had a dollar with an "I Grew Hemp" stamp on it.

Has anyone come across some money with
"GRUMPY" or "GRUMPS" written on it?

Amen

Hell yes.

Great post, Harvey. I'm going to have to link to it.

"Your thought doesn't have a beginning, a middle or an end"? Hunh. Coulda fooled me. I wonder what crappy blogs she's been reading. They're definitely not on MY blogroll.

There is one positive aspect to her insipid celeb-blog.

It spawned the creation of the Huffington's Toast parody site.

It's pretty damn funny.

I actually hung back on blogging about HP (about three months, since Drudge first mentioned it was in the works), wanting to see what my betters (you, Frank, Glenn) would do with it.

It was worth the wait. All I would've said only better, and a few things I would've forgotten to say.

I am not going to the site, and I hope no one else does. There are other better blogs to be reading.
It is like feeding a monster.
Who?

Hot damn, Harvey! That was beautiful. If you were a chick I would be so turned on right now.

Oh. "If they wanted to blog, they would start at Blogger like everyone else."

Unless they were exceptionally foolish, and decided to try to write their own blogware from scratch... which I now wouldn't advise to my worst enemy...

PC - Leave Arianna a comment suggesting she write her own blogware :-)

Oh... wait... you CAN'T... her "blog" doesn't have comments...

Nevermind ;-)

She can grab MY handle any time she wants... I just won't promise it won't spit up on her... prolly in about 3.276 seconds... they don;t all ME quick draw for nuttin'...

Dead on, just about every single word... well well said, Harvey.

"You don't just toss off a steaming pile of unfinished thought-crap, call it good, and wait for Lady Fortune to kick in your door toting buckets full of gold coins."

No? Ah, crap, I'm doing it all wrong. Back to the drawing board..

Amen!

My fav line: the blogosphere is a herd of cats. LOL!

I think this has to be one of the best rants I've read in a while. Great job Harvey.

I love tha part where she like totally flipped out and started puking green soup at Evil Glenn, and then the ninjas came out of nowhere and started flipping out and killing people. That was cool.

I'm freakin' a dollar short and a day late on posting my stuff. Anyway, what you said.

Anyway, I posted from a different angle. I posted about the parody site that's been set up to spoof Ariana's site. I hear it's doing well, with some great guest blogging. I hear some interesting comedic muslims have been brought out of retirement to deal with the likes of her. check it out: http://huffingtonstoast.com/

She seems to think 'heh' and 'indeed' are typical blog posts.

The Huff-n-post bloggers don't have comments turned on, that's why they get on with their lives. There's no conversation, they've TOLD us the way it is, end of story.

They don't hear us saying 'Well, that was asinine.'

The worst part is that we in the 'sphere keep giving her "press," because she and the rest of her cohorts are so bad.

WT - Although eventually we'll find someone else to kick around & she'll fade into obscurity. Hope she enjoys her 15 minutes.

Excellent post, Harvey!

BTW, as Laurence Simon has pointed out, they have not ONCE catblogged. Even Jeff Goldstein jokes about catblogging, but I haven't heard any feline references yet.

Tom - just further proof of her non-bloggerdom :-)

Harvey my blogenius,
The best post on blogging. PERIOD.
I have done a Post on your Post. Is that a Peme?
Whateveh.........New to Blogging? Here's the Best Defense of Blogging
I salute you, King of all that is Blogging Good
Mwah! Pamela

I've got a Crush on You

PEME- a "Post" meme

just made it up (obviously)
not to worry, it wont stick

Harvey, this post is what I meant by being an original thinker.

Harvey,

Thanks for such an honest, inspiring post. You have embodied how I feel as my blog takes a turn I didn't want it to take, but if it is to remain truth, the journey must continue. To me, being a serious blogger is about blogging even when you don't want to---even when it hurts! Even at the risk of ridicule or abandonment. Simply put, I have a story to tell, so I'm gonna BLOG ON!!

Eventually she will. Right now she is #13, and I would dearly love to see beyond the top 25 linkers in the ecosphere. I bet most are RWers.

She started that blog for all the wrong reasons, and it will catch up with her.

Pure poetry, Harvey. Again. ;)

Very funny, yet very true...especially your points regarding bloggers being proud of what they write, and therefore giving it every bit of effort possible!

I still say the window AC at her old place has ductwork for sucking air all the way from Mojave Desert... and it sounds like an elephant trying to sneeze and gargle at the same time...

Damn, just after I finished blogrolling the entire family on their old addresses they start up and moving!

I bet she moved to avoid persecution by China's pre-emptive ban on RHOG that inadvertantly banned all blogspot sites!

OUTRAGE!

Herbey... you're such a blog slut... you homo...

And before anyone starts in on me... kiss my big hairy ass!

MW - No one would start in on you, ya ugly bastard. You couldn't get laid at a blind, retarded hooker's convention if you were wearing a suitcoat made out of $100 bills :-P

hehe, she said I was a smoochy baby.

*blushes*

She was all about the smooches too wasn't she?

Hey, when it's about babies, I love to smooch. Babies are yummy. They're only purpose is to be loved.

And to fill diapers at 3am and then scream loudly about it.

... babies...

*shudder*

...either that or my hands have gone numb... could you loosen the ropes a little, please?...

and while you're at it, could you please stroke them gently to get the blood flowing?

. . . and while you're stroking things, don't forget Mr. Happy . . . he needs help getting the blood to flow too . . .

Ya fucks - ya used all three of the lines I thought of!

Huh. _Jon's back. Finally.

...so, let my hands never leave your body.

There used to be a term for that during my dating days. Call me, Mr. Octopus.

YOU'RE Doc Ock?

Spidey is SO going to kick your ass! :-P

But they say tb gets REALLY good there towards the end.

:-D

ROFL!!!!!!!

WHO is the cheapskate that gave someone TWO FRIGGIN' BUCKS for graduation??? *LMAO!*

It's like telling someone, "Here, son! For four hard years of blood, sweat, and tears of schooling, HERE! A McDonalds Happy Meal coupon!!" *ROFL!*

"Uhhh... gee... THANKS, pa... I'm so happy I could just sneeze right now..."

very nice post Harvey, I will tell you this I didnt believe in writers block till I started blogging lol. The funny thing is some of the post that you put hours of effort into go no where but the ones written in a flash of mad inspiration get noticed lol. As for inspiration from other bloggers I have lost track of how many times a simple comment or observation on someone elses blog as kicked started an idea for my own blog. I think the best rule for all of this is if it starts to stop being fun and becomes "work" time to hang up the keyboard.:)

It's like a big fancy restaraunt with hard to find meals, fine wines, a well paid staff that is trained in sophistication vs. the hole in the wall, addicting BBQ joint that gives you paper towels, welcomes you with a "How've ya been" and doesn't take credit card.

I choose the latter!

Thanks for being the hole in the wall BBQ joint ;-) You got that BBQ rub goin' on!

Sissy - Heh. Added that to the quotes section in my left sidebar :-)

Another great post, Harvey.

I like where I am... I'm a fringe kinda gal. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I hit it big. I do spend a lot of time blogging, but nothing really to promote myself... that would take time from reading and I do believe I love reading blogs nearly as much as I like dumping the crap in my head on the computer.

I guess its all about what you want out of it. For me... it's a catharis and a way to document my life.

Harvey... this is not the path toward world domination...

shaking my head in disappointment

How am I supposed to eventually inherit world domination, if the old man has given up on the quest? Was the trip in the time machine (twice!) all for nought?

PC - SHHHHH! I'm trying to get people to relax their guard!

I agree w/Bou. But it's also a way for me to have great dialogues/monologues or discussions with very intelligent individuals who don't regurgitate the news or opinions from MSM. People, who are for the most part, original thinkers. You fit into that category Harvey.

Heh. I'm not an original thinker, but I play one on my blog :-)

By which I mean that I don't usually post about a news story unless I can find an angle to work that I haven't seen on any other blog on my daily reads list.

I think Harvey needs to take personnal time at least one day a week before he starts jibbering " I.I..I believe you have my stapler!"
and Pulls out the Glock and starts shooting up the bank lobby.

I think I just need more ammo & a 30-round clip.

I also need for THOSE BITCHES TO GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY STAPLER!

mmMMmmm...BBQ.

...And there's even more curve than I remember.

and how my mind bends and curves around your soul longing for each night.

Your wife must be a very lucky woman there, Harvey.

Cindy

Tom,

I have more curves than I remember, too, but those gushy curves make one comfy, not bony. Some of us aren't that young anymore.

Cindy

..although less enlightened people call the "curve of my mind" plain "kinky"..

face it honey, you're getting fat. Now either lose weight, or I can't let you be on top anymore . . .

...Your body fits neatly into my trunk folded in half...

Contagion cracks me up. I remember reading Grau, and Contagion would carry on about someting in damn near every field, quoting Law Enforcement, then Legal jargon, and on and on and finally I had to ask, "What in the hell do you do for a living that you know all this... stuff?!" It was really funny.

I enjoy going to Grau's just to see these life long friends give each other hell. Cracks me up.

I'm glad he started a blog. More times than once he has needed a drink alert on his blog.

Hey, I thought you where supposed to keep your filthy lies only pertaining to Evil Glenn!

I am so very shy!

Oh it's true, he's shy. A few cards SHY of a deck. A few brick SHY of a load...etc.

Growing up in a military family, we moved constatnly. I never had a friend for more than a few years.

I think what has always had me in awe of Grau and LJ is the fact Grau remembers watching LJ's Mom bringing him home from the hospital as a baby. That just blows me away.

It sounds trivial to others, but it is a big thing to me. And then to stick with each other through thick and thin like that...

That's honestly one of my earliest memories. His folks were friends with mine, and his older sisters were friends with my older sis, etc.

So when I call the guy family I'm not exaggerating.

Sometimes I forget how goddamned blessed I am in the friend department.

Oh yeah, and I'm going to start a campaign to get Harvey to include Littlejoe's quote about him in his sidebar quotes.

Read his blogmeet entry and you'll know exactly which one :)

Awww man, now I feel bad for making fun of you Harvey....bastard.

Thank you for the compliments, I am all verklempt now.

and just the right amount of give in your thighs!

.. and a lot of things harder by the easiness of your sighs....

...but I still flunked the exam, got fired, broke a leg, accidentally ran over my dog and burned down my house, and accidentally took a Frenchman hostage...

And part 10 and 11 and 12 too. I took him to task for putting a flashback at the end of a story and he replied that he hadn't. Then he laughed maniacally and started drooling.

Dear Harvey,

Your blog has been entered into the BigBlogZoo under the
the category: Top/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Weblogs/Personal/B.

You should not visit the zoo as you are being talked about. Maybe I misunderstood, but there was crack, an orange and stockings and suspenders involved.

So, bestiality huh? This answers the question I had earlier today as to why I couldn't access your site from the YMCA.

Then of course, Burt remembered that Ernie was in the Navy, and they have a strict don't ask don't tell policy . . .

LOL!!!!

it should be noted, that my ealier comment was merely in jest, and that I have almost as much respect for the navy as I do the Marines.

As my dad (former navy) said, "Join the navy, ride the waves."

Besides, you need to be nice to the Navy or they ain't gonna let you hitch a ride when you need to go kill terrorists overseas :-)

That's so sweet! You're a good mom, Harv.... ;)

That was so hilarious....and so you!

Hmm...So Harvey's a mom...Hmmm...

Great card, Bou! Damn, that was funny... especially when you consider the facts. :)

mahn, and just when I thought I was starting to understand my blog-parenting lineage this happens...

Wait... you know what I look like, my name and where I live.... nevermind! Great job! keep up the good work! Don't burn me with a cigar please. :)

Congratulations on winning the coveted 'Pivotal' position... ;)

Pam :-P

Contagion - I'm thinkin' you & Little Joe would be naturals over there... want a set of keys?

ummm, I'm not good with jokes. I'm more of a listener then a teller. I have a hard time writting my own stuff.

Plus I'm shy. :)

Who said anything about writing your own stuff? I plan to mostly post filthy crap I steal from the raunchiest corners of the internet. The only original content will be the title & maybe one sentence of introduction.

Geez, it's not like I'm lookin' for QUALITY :-P

Harvey's hoping that by plying the young ladies with lots of alcohol they'll flash their boobies for him... there's a motive behind everthing! He can't fool me. ;-)

Herbey's got the right idea... jack ass stole it from me...

Never fear, he'll have a really good booby post for tomorrow!

I am amazed that "stiffy" made it through the censors at the DMV they are big stick in the mud's when it comes to personalized plates.

We had something similiar growing up and our main goal as we got older was to see how far we get the thing to walk.

I never had a swingset. Just a tire from a tree, but my dad built me a tree house too, so that was cool. . .

We had that swingset too!!! We used to love to see how far we could get the back legs to kick up if you got it to swing too high... then THUD, it would come crashing back down.

I think ours was white with red stripes... like a candy cane... and rust, of course.

When Herbey was a little boy, he used to spank his monkey to the Sears catalog... I think he probably still does... I know he's still spankin the monkey anyway...

Actually, now it's Victoria's Secret Online :-)

Looks VERY much like the swingset I had as a kid, too...

The one I was jumping from, trying to break my old record of sailing 17 feet, and broke my arm instead... *LOL*

Bou seems to think only the older bloggers had this swing set.

Wrong answer! I had it! It may have been a hand me down...but I had it!

I noticed that this is the post dad refit version, notice the U shaped swing bar in the middle..the original lasted about 2weeks with us climbing on it. i liked dads model better 3 lengths of 1" water pipe couple of elbow fittings and dad approved nuts,bolts and
S hooks to hold it to the top bar.

I just remembered that dad soon after bought(with our moms prompting im sure)the aftermarket anchors to keep us from upending it again.

We had the same swingset. I think ours was blue & white.

... which reminds me... am I the ONLY person who thought that Tinkerbell was a wantonly hot piece of ass?...

...I just wish you weren't such an Ogre.

(sorry Ogre)

awww, that's so sweet.

unfortunately, unlike in fairy tales, real life never has a happily-ever-after. So stop expecting one you stupid broad!

note to the guys: Don't be sexist, broads hate that.

You coulda been a contendah.

See, you provide a valuable service to the blogging community!

Congratulations!... I think.

Cool and Easy! Thanks Harvey

I heart Cooltext.

My Dad was a Marine and up to the day he died, he always walked, talked, acted like a Marine. Cool dudes.

BEST. TOY. EVER.

A dollar?? That's it? Do I hear two anyone???

TWO!

Three one-dollar bills.

Who said that?!?!?!

That is an honor he greatly deserves...good work, Harv (and Jim)!

Nice job!

I'd like to thank the Academy :)

Muhahahahaha.....

*Fetches glass of warm water*

Who wants to do the honors?

Ziiiiiip. Oh yeah. The warm water does it...

Herbey: "That Budweiser sure makes my ass hurt..."

V.E day...How very appropriate that you posted this late :-P

(Sorry. Must be channeling Alex)

...and Earth would be a cratered, lifeless wasteland like the moon...

or full of noxious fumes like Neptune or Venus. Wait, aren't women from Venus?

and dark at night, like spooky dark.

If ALL the stars fell, there would be no day. Although, having the sun (also a star!) fall into the Earth would cause enough problems that no one would notice it being dark when it was supposed to be day.

(For bonus points, guess what medication I'm on!)

Jack Daniels?
Crystal Meth?
A bunch of oregano that some hippy told you was pot?

I can do that part-time! I get tons of jokes that fit all those billets. If MW will have me, then I'm game! Wait... maybe that didn't come out right... I didn't mean 'have me' have me, like in the Biblical sense... or did I?

Oh, I'd love the chance to fuck up that piece-of-shit blog of his!
Plus insult his readers?
Oooh yeah!

Sign me up!
(Part time, of course.)

an African swallow or an American swallow?

I don't care where she's from - as long as she swallows...

O.....M.....G!!! [i can't write anymore I'm virtually speechless and blushing crimson]

Aheh. Heheh... He said "swallow." Heheh. Hehehehhehe.

(PS - Your comment thingie wouldn't let me use my email address, because it has "index" as part of it.

If black birds have black babies and white birds have white babies, what kind of bird has no babies?

A swallow.

Wow, my jokes suck worse than the Bartender. I MUST be qualified to moonlight for Madfish Willie. My profanity will need an upgrade, though, if I'm to maintain the quality of his blog.

I once knew this guy whose wife never came home one night. By the third day the guy was a total wreck, and he could hardly walk to the door when the police showed. But he had to know, so he steeled himself and opened the door.

The cops told him "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news concerning your wife. You want the good news or the bad news??"

Fearing the worst, he asked for the bad news.

"Well", the cop said, "The bad news is that we found your wife. Her car went off the the end of the pier, and we found her body wedged behind the steering wheel. The good news is that there were eight HUGE lobsters feeding on her corpse, and a mess of the tastiest crabs I've ever boiled chowing on the bits the lobsters hadn't got to yet."

Horrified, the distraught husband screamed "You bastards! If that's the good news, what the hell is the fucking GREAT news?!?!"

With a smile and a cheery voice the officer answered "We're pulling her back up again tomorrow!"

Wow.
That was a bit much even for me.

Herbey... put Geek on the payroll... you'll have to hire that turd _Yon as a barback though... let him caarry out the trash, clean up the toilets when they overflow, and wipe up the puke... that'll learn him...

[What the fuck was the crack about the spell checker for?]

Bartender, you shit! How dare you leave us this long?? [/rant]

Why not a group blog? Bou would even out the guys nicely... ;)

[What the fuck was the crack about the spell checker for?]

Because you missed the second "i" in "Politcally"

And because I'm a fuckin' dick.

I'll have you know that i was the County Spekling Bee champeen in grade skrool...

Pam: we can do a groupthingy only if Herbey will be the Pivot Man of our little cirle jerk...

OOOO! I get to even out guys! I think I can try my hand at that... :)

geez. All the good jobs are taken.

...It's not that I like spending time with you, it's just that I like hurting small animals...

..And by wings, I don't mean those things on your maxipads...

Hey, you! I brakea you face!

:D

Yeah, that Doom 3 game isn't going to play its self.

hehehehehe... so badgering you to post your links really does work.... who knew!

ROFLMAO! I'd forgotten that one :-)

That reminds me of a Monty Python skit...

Two words:
Extended Entry

Loved it. I'm a big Python fan.

Wow. All I can say is "Wow."

Nice parody. And you should be shot for blaspheming the holy Python name.

_Jon - Two words: wheel mouse :-P

PG - Yeah, I know :-)

...if I breathe a LOT faster, it means I'm nearing climax...

(from a males voice)

...and if I stop breathing it's because you took too damn long to climax.

actually, if I stop breathing, its because you're squeezing too tight with your legs and I need you to loosen up.

If I breathe a little faster, it is because I am thinking of you with every breath I breathe, and I only want reason to think of you more.

Plus I double-dosed the Viagra.

I both love and hate ice cream. It is probably my favorite food, yet those damn headaches!

I love writing on my blog, but I hate not having time to write all that I want.

Mine would be users. I hate them because they always have moron sandwiches for lunch, and love them because they keep me in business.

I love to hate YOU... peckerhead!

I'd have to go with work. I love it because I get a paycheck every week. I hate it because I have to go to that hell hole in the first place in order to get the paycheck every week.

I second Aris_Ravencroft's point...unfortunately. :(

I third it!

You think so, eh?
Well, I'll post this by putting my info in, then I'll try to post another.

Hey, check it out....
It knows me...

cool.

Thanks bLog Daddy.
Can you fix my bike now?
Or are you still "Fixing Mommy's Wagon"?
:)

It remembered me! I didn't even have to type it in!

Well hell, look at that. There I be.

Nice. So can you pass on the coding so I can get MY blog to remember ME?

Hmm, how'd you know who I was?

okay, maybe I did something different, but I never seemed to have that problem. They always seemed to remember me.

Yay! It even works at work.

:bows to Phin:

Hmm I've never had a problem... or rather I only did on some mu nu blogs not others - so I blew away my munu cookies and started over, never had a problem after that *grin*

This would be a really handy feature if what it remembered about me could get past MT-Blacklist... I really don't get it it. The address of my blog is http://driveyours!te.com/blog but with the letter "i" where I have the exclamation point. And it isn't even a social!st blog!!!

That word's GOTTA be Bangaladeshi slang for something REAL bad...

driveyoursite

Hmm. Okay:

http://driveyoursite.com/blog

Aha!

site.com is banned.

Pixy: Yeah - now that you mention it, the error message does specify it with the dot-com. Sorry, I should have been more specific. (I've been avoiding the error message so long now I'd forgotten precisely what it says).

Hey Spaz... One of my co-workers told me that Madfish Willie was supposed to be Mad Fist Willie... I told him that sounds like someone that sits around spanking his monkey all day [naturally, YOU came to mind] ... not so far from what I actually get paid to do, but not a good blogname!

How did a dumbass technophobe like you ever make the fix all by yourself... did you get your sister to help you?

Now go over and fix the template at Madfish Willie's... I'll put a help wanted sign!

While your there... put in the code for the Bad Example Family... and a better MuNu blogroll...

Then... come over here and kiss my ass!

I'm crackin' myself up... funny to me... hahahah...

I'm sitting here in front of my computer, looking like an idiot, laughing my ass off all by myself...

Change all the sidebar stuff in the template at the bottom of the page: SideBarMaster

Don't mention it!

YAY!!!! YOU REMEMBERED ME!!!

P.S. Madfish Willie is cwaaaazy in the head!

Looks like I wasn't the *only* one spending the morning drinking :-P

While I will know what God meant, I will still have *no* idea what the f_ck God was thinking....

Y'know, I was going to make a civilization-fails-world-ends-glasses-break Twilight-Zone-throwback comment, but thinking of a funny way to phrase it would take too much energy.

That was a good episode, though.

Oh, I know what God was thinking, it's something along the lines of:

"Vengeance is mine," sayeth the Lord, "And woman shall be my favorite tool of wrath!"

What do you mean, "As long as he promises not to hijack any blogs?" Are you changing the rules in the middle of the game? ;)

Check the archives... it's always been a condition. These ain't no Nobel Peace Prizes which allow you to be a terrorist if you want. These actually MEAN something :-)

Ogre: Don't you know better than to argue with the pivot man of the circle jerk...

I will go over and pay for some stiches to, maybe we will have an entire square foot of one by the end of the week? Once again you are leading by example!

Fjuckheads...

Be careful, it can be addictive!

.. 178..

No circle jerk award? That one's worthy.

DOH!

You're right...

I fix now...

Circle jerk award? (uh, I know what a circle jerk is, I just want to know about the award!)

Man. You had a huge noggin. I can see why they let you work on nukes for the Navy.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... oh, wait... HAHAHA... sorry. Nice pic.

(snicker)

Gee, Harv--I didn't know they had cameras back in those days! (ducking and giggling like an idiot)...

Amazing - I can actually see the similarities.

I love this pic!

You mean he can fit that head through the hatches on submarines?

Harv's head Is still the same size,his body just grew in to it, picture that face with a beard and slightly more hair,that's how he looks now.

How in the hell will you ever that big empty noodle out of your ass????

Harv: That picture says "Jun 1967" at the top. You're about the same age as my middle brother!

C'mon out here in the back yard. I've got some yummy treats to show you!

Haha, I'm satisfied with this. Gotta be the rebel don't you ;-)

I don't mind memes, but this one... eh...

I'm just grateful to Ogre for demonstrating that it's ok to kill a meme :-)

Good on you. Treat it like the shitty lil piece of crap (hey! reflexive!) it is!

heh

Funny how this particular meme spoke to me. I don't think that that's a positive sign.

David - I'm now going to throw a tomato at you for the crime of punning in my comments

*throws tomato"

PG - No, not a positive sign at all...

Carnival of Bonfires, anyone?

Is there a carnival of comedy anywhere yet... or a carnival of really crappy bar jokes....

MW - IMAO started a Carnival of Comedy. Sucks though.

...So let love rain down on you like a golden shower, and...

wait... that didn't come out right...

Good thing my hand doesn't feature the midas touch then . . .

And if what you have isn't quite right, just melt it down into a puddle of goo and rework it...

It is very quite over here at Tammi's place. A lot of naked firemen, and Marines...young and old!

I admire the people that take the initiative to start a carnival! Good for them!

What I need advice on is when to enter a post into a carnival? I had never entered any post until you told me to enter that one into the Carnival of Vanities. And if you hadn't, I probably still would be a carnival virgin.

So...how do we know when a post is carnival worthy? I'd hate to dissapoint people that take the effort to read through the links of a carnival!

Sisyy--when in doubt, enter it into the Bonfire of the Vanities! ;)

Harv--even "normal" people? LOL!!!!

Number 7 is the reason I don't start anything... well not too much of anything. Unlike fabulous people like Pixy and NZ Bear... I could go on but let's keep this short... I don't even have time to read the blogs I want to read, and then I try to post too... makes me tired just thinking about it. Anything requiring even larger amounts of my time would be too much like real work! *grin*

Sissy - A post is carnival-worthy when YOU think it's good piece of writing. Something that - before you wrote it - you thought to yourself, "I *really* want to write about this", and after you write it you thought to yourself, "Hey! That's actually pretty darn good!"

You got it right on the button! Great post!

And I think the general rule is that you should submit posts as close to the deadline as possible to make things as difficult for the host as you can. ;)

Heck, Sissy, if you want to get involved, go read all the different carnivals and make up posts to go with them!

I have yet to enter a carnival, let alone think about starting one. The carnival system is frightening and scarey.

Contagion - BAH! Even highly-geek-impaired PETER figured out how to submit to Carnival of Cordite.

Click the Ferdy link & just fill out the form. Easy.

Harvey, you wouldn't have decided this post was a timely thing to do because a certain somebody in the family was thinking of starting a new carnival, would you?

'Course not... what could I have been thinking? ;)

Points read and taken. Thanks.

PC - Yes and no. Over the past few months, I've advised a few carnivals about steps 3, 4, & 5, so this post has been brewing for a while. When I keep saying the same things over & over, I figure it's time to write a post about it.

Truth be told, though, I started leaving a short version of this in your comments and decided to take it back to my place.

Embarrassing... I quickly scanned the post, left the above comment, then went back to read more carefully. Somehow missed that you specifically mentioned me floating the Carnival of the Grandparents idea. Might be time for new glasses, or slower scanning!

Either way - posting here was a great idea, IMHO. More exposure to others who could benefit than it would see in a comment thread at my place. Nice comprehensive, useful post. I will definitely be referring to it frequently if the Carnival of Grandparents moves forward.

How'd you know I was thnking about a grandparents carnival, but then I realized that everyone likes to brag, but nobody lilkes to listen.

Ah good!

I was sick and tired of all these people having marionettes!

...is forever over yet? All this damn talking and singing is making my throat hurt...

Now you realize, that when I say forever, it's like those times when I tell you I want to go "all night long." "All night long" is only about 15-20 minutes, so I can only do "forever" for about an hour max . . .

If your throat hurts, try a Halls, she'll love it it'll make your throat feel much better!

I got something for that sore throat that will Coat, Sooth, AND Protect....

OMG! ROFLOF!

Still laughing.....OMG.....LOL

I can't believe Jon went there.

LOL!

Gives a whole new spin on "Licking your wounds"

Wow, that's just special. What's sad is that Grau dare not buy any of these. I could just see him cut his finger, use one of these and later in the night night paying attention, look down, see the bacon and try to eat it.

Wow, and I thought I was a sicko for suggesting it.

Well here’s to another couple of years of therapy.

Ouch!!! Oh my eyes!!!

Wow! That's like moving from the swampy trailer park to the kingdom! Or like those that live in the trailer park winning the lottery! Whatever it is, I'll take it! I've already started packin' my shit! Color me ready to go!

Don't go! Pixy is a soical... a scilai... a slocai... ahhhhh... Just go already! ;)

I'm all up for a move. Blogger has been giving me fits for the last month.

I see TNT was gettin a bit rough with ya eh?

Congrats family!!!

I'm really excited. I know I've not been happier. In my previous 2 incarnations I was frustrated, miserable, anti-social, humorless and very, very, angry.

Welcome to those "who are movin' on up"!

BTW, Harvey, put your shirt on and stop being an exhibitionist!

I'm very dissapointed, Harvey. The Blue Footed Boobie was supposed to be used for good, not evil.

Good... evil... I'm the guy with the blog :-)

Oddy - yeah, TNT has a wicked follow-through at raquetball, and I tend to do whatever it takes to hold center court - we connect from time to time :-)

O_O

*dies*

You're a fucking putz... why couldn't YOU nominate them... lazy asshole....

Oh boy! I think I'd better wait just a while, though. Maybe a decade or two while I learn barely enough to be considered ignorant.

Peter... I'd stick with blogger now if I were you. It's a lot to learn to switch and blogger is more user friendly. You have haloscan comments. When I was on blogger, I just wrote all my posts in word and then copied and pasted them all to my blog file. I still do that. Old habits die hard.

I mean, no--those pants don't make you look fat.....

not that it's a contest, but I can't top that one, Susie. I applaud you.

If loving and laughing makes you live longer then it better be a blast; otherwise I'd get tired of your sorry ass and move on!

... but I'd appreciate it if you would not point at my manhood while laughing.

First all of the odd bdsm, and now tickle torture. Now everyone will really want pictures.

Isn't that a bastardized quote from Full House?

/ashamed that I remember that show

you wanna put what in my where?

CD - It could very well be. I just stole this off a web site full of mushy quotes a couple years back. I have no idea where it actually came from.

Personally, I'm not ashamed to remember Full House, but I am DEEPLY scarred. I never watched it on my own, but Beloved Wife loves it, and sometimes I have no choice but to walk by the TV when it's on.

If every word I said
Could make you laugh
I'd talk forever
I asked the sky just what we had
It showed forever
If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever

Told you my head was full of obscure song lyrics! Don't laugh!

Can you fix this so that personal infor is remembered?

Just wanted to say I LOVE You GodFaher!!!!!

Cindy.

firstbrokenangel: The webhost "mu.nu" has a problem remembering personal information for a lot of people. The only way around it is to click the "Permalink" instead of the "Comments". Then it will show your remembered info.

=)

Yeah, fuck with me bitch - that's a good idea....

When you were a kid, did you smack hornet nests with a short stick?

Nah, I usually just slapped them bare-handed to see how loud I could make them buzz...

Sure, it was painful, but they make such a pretty sound! :-)

damn fooled again.....

Yikes! I expected a picture where it would be difficult to tell if you were really "nekid" or not. Instead, I see...more than I wanted to!

I think my duck eyes have been seared beyond recovery! Harvey, are you there? All I see is vague dark shadows! Is that you? Say something so I know it's you!

(I hereby retract the honorary title of "Wise Harvey." A wise man does NOT sleep "nekid" with a digital camera and a mischievous wife in the room!)

MY EYES!
MY EYES!

Who do I send the bill to for the years of therapy this is going to take to recover from?

hmmm, I think I'm going to take a warning from all the blind men around here and NOT click on the link.

I clicked fully expecting something y'all picked up from the 'net. I wish you could have heard me *Gasp!* when I realized, "Holy crap... I'm looking at my nekkid blog father... or part of him anyway..." LOL!

Y'all shoulda seen the parts she cropped out ;-)

Am I the only one here that's wishing she had fallen asleep first??
;)

Much as I love Peter, I'm glad to say I don't need to read this. If Tara ever gets shot, it won't be accidentally.

LOL! :-D

The book signing:
Well, that chiuaua had a good start on the Clinton book.... Mebbe we can get some large dogs to just shit on Jane herself...

I was waiting for this!

Oh... he's going into the Marines.

Shame Shame Harvey! Can't confuse the Army with the Marines!

He's already done some great stuff....this one should be a good one.

DOH!

...

Fixed.

I haven't been this embarrassed since I screwed up T1G's blog name when I announced HIS birth.

Sorry Andrew :-(

psst, I leave May 23rd . . .

GAH!

...

Fixed.

I swear, Child Protective Services is gonna string me up by my balls for this fucked-up post...

I can't believe I didn't catch that one! I was wondering what the hell he was saying, must have been cause I was sleepy ;)

I missed that. hmmm

The Family Guy is still better.

Sorry for being such a TV dunce, but is that show broadcast network, or cable? If cable, that could explain how the "C" word got by censors.

Contagion - yes, it is :-)

PC - It's Fox. You'd think they'd be more on their toes with the crap the Simpsons have pulled over the years.

I caught that line too, but only because I had a Sgt that used that line to refer to a particularly angry female Gunny. I'm not sure that AD is gonna last more than a couple of seasons. I got the feeling that it simply tried too hard to be funny. Family Guy was a trip though. I'm sooooo happy that they brought it back. Loved the intro where they talked about coming back for another season, but only if a whole lotta FOX shows were cancelled. Friggen hilarious! Also, it was sorta weird that they had the whole "animated nudity" warnings just before each show. Made me actually sit there and watch them to find it! LOL

Harvey,

To expand on an answer you gave on another blog-site...

"Pop" is short for "Soda-pop", a carbonated, sweetened, flavored beverage.
Years ago, when anyone would open a soda bottle, it would go "POP". Despite popular belief, these glass soda-bottles were not sold exclusively in the midwest...but perhaps midwesterns are just better listeners.

"Coke" is short for "Coca-Cola", a specific BRAND of cola-flavored, caramel-colored soda-pop.

"Kleenex" is a BRAND of facial tissue, and just like "I'll have a Coke", "I'll have a Kleenex" would also be an inaccurate way to order a lemon-lime or orange flavored soda-pop.

Here ends todays lesson.

PK,

aparantly you aren't from the south. When visiting a friend's, the common dialog was:

"You want something to drink?"

"Yeah, I'll have a coke."

"What kind?"

"Dr Pepper/Pepsi/name soda here"

So saying "I'll have a coke." is perfectly accessble.

ahhhh. Frank was in shock that it was said, and i didn't get it, and he wouldn't explain it. i wish i didn't know.

Yikes! I didn't know Americans even knew that word!

Have I said yet that I like Aris? A man after my heart. Knowing all about coke. I worked in a restaurant.
It was always, "What would you like to drink?"
"I'll have a coke, please."
"What kind?"

I was away at college, I do believe, when I realized there were vast quantities of people that didn't realize that all carbonated beverages were 'coke'.

As for the See You Next Tuesday, I'm glad you spelled it out, as I still didn't get it. I didn't get it on your blog so I DEFINITELY would NOT have gotten it while watching TV.

PK - I'll grant you the technical correctness of your answer.

However, I'll also make the point that when everyone around you is doing it wrong, the most effective way to communicate with them is to speak with a similar degree of inaccuracy.

Sort of like English measurement vs metric
:-)

SW - I'm not as thrilled about American Dad either right now for two reasons:

First - the characters are still a little flat. However, it's still early and right now, even the writers don't know exactly who these characters are. I'm willing to ride to the end of the first season to see if it improves.

Second - they poke fun at right-wing patriotism, which I'm not too keen on seeing mocked. But even when it's not funny, it's at least fairly clever, so... yeah, well, let's see how the season goes.

Besides, they got serious bonus points for See You Next Tuesday :-)

Harvey, you forgot that Louis is much hotter then the wife on American Dad (I can't remember her name right now), Yeah, I need help.

You mean Lois, and yeah, you're right.

Since we're on the topic: Betty or Wilma?

I'm goin with Betty...

Well, here it is, Monday morning. If you're not dead or in the hospital, if you're still happily married, if you still have a roof over your head, still have your job... they couldn't have been all that important, could they? *grin* Just a thought...

Wow Harv, I'm glad I'm not the only one that see's a long to do list that would make me feel less stressed if I completed it but runs foolishly in the other direction and does whatever they can to forget about the list. ;-)

*wink*
we know why things didn't get done this weekend, yeah we know.

The problem, AWTM, was that *that* was the only thing on the list - four times..... ;)

Harvey, you're an inspiration to under-achievers everywhere! ;-)

Sounds like you are coming down with Beal! Let me help you! You must embrace these words of wisdom that I learned long, long, ago in a galaxy far, far away: Whatever decision you make will be the wrong one, so just pick one and get on with it. I'm serious--no matter what choice you make, in the long run you should've gone with Door #2 (but if you HAD picked door #2, THAT would have been the wrong one.) So it doesn't matter which of the 4 chores you start with (because you should have started with a different one) just pick one, get it over with, and move on to the next (wrong) one....

Hey, I had 4 things on my list, too. I thought you were doing to do them, that's why I didn't do them.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Well, I appreciate the sympathy... uh... such as it is.

Susie - wasnt' Beal... I knew what to blog about. I just didn't.

Oh, and _Jon, I *did* get THAT list of 4 done :-)

I know how that goes... all too well. :)

Ah, but Beal doesn't apply only to blogging, Harv! Remember, it was first discovered by my college English Professor, when she couldn't lecture because she had it. It is also why many sufferers can't go to work, do their homework, or do their chores.....;)

Whoops!

You're right. I'd forgotten that part of the post, but you've refreshed my memory.

I guess I was Bealed :-)

And now he's just a shell of a man.

AHA! Another is convinced that something sinister is afoot!

A foot?? which one of my feet are sinister AAAAhh now I'll have to chop them both off.
Quick were's my chainsaw.

I know how Evil Glenn feels, now. I put one lousy spoonful of peanut butter in a blender and it's the talk of the blogosphere for a week!

BB - You've been watching Army of Darkness again, haven't you? :-)

Sally - "You dance with the devil, the devil don't change - the devil changes YOU"

-from the movie "8mm*

Here you go Harv: http://www.onestepahead.com/jump.jsp?lGen=detail&itemID=686&itemType=PRODUCT&iProductID=686&change=117

we know you love boobie pictures. Maybe instead of collecting bad money you should become a boobie photographer....

Harv, you've helped me so much already that I'll be glad to send you a pic of my boobs.

Bug - I'm surprised that that thing doesn't come in several shades of "natural skin tone" to further reduce "nipple confusion" :-)

AW - I'm still trying to convince TNT of that... it's not going well...

Peter - 'preciate the thought, but maybe Linda Lou has some girlfriends with college-age daughters or somethin' who can stand in for ya?...

On the other hand, if you're wearing shorts & workboots in the pic, I can probably trade them to Machelle of Quality Weenie for more of her wedding-dress-cleavage shots...

*ears perks up*

Did someone mention workboots and shorts??!!

HA! You learn something new every day...I never bothered using the Blogger "search this" thing because I thought it was just for searching Blogspot blogs! I suppose it makes sense that it would use Google, huh? Dumb ol' Blogger.
