A comment so perfect…

...it deserves its own post.

Our stellar and side-splitting regular StrangeAppar8us on Pajamas Media shitting the bed:

I get the feeling PJM has finally shaken off all but its original core constituency of Pam Geller stalkers and guys who masturbate into cellophane bags filled with green plastic army men.

Prior to this election, there were occasional bursts of civil debate in the comments sections at their news portal, and a small resident cadre of waggish Lefties who enjoyed keeping the pot boiling. Lately, though, it’s become a dumping ground for John-Birch-Society-meets-Stormfront screeds, retro-McCarthyist conspiracy talk and the sort of halfwit, flag-fucking “new patriot” claptrap that’s been Beta-testing on the Birther sites.

No doubt this affects their business model and ad-revenue calculations, since they are pretty much reduced to cannibalizing the readership of Little Green Footballs and Ass-Master Quarterly…which yields a really hinky income/affinity/interest profile.

I mean, what is the “absolute” market for stars-and-stripes themed rubber-ball gags and “frontier-fringe” reinforced chamois boxer shorts? Probably less than Roger Simon’s annual budget for rakish journalist hats.

StrangeAppar8tus is a literary gem.

That is unequaled even for a snark blog.

I bow down to my master.

I’m glad you didn’t let this one go trailing off into the ether, Kevin. I was laughing so hard I think I snapped something.

If there’s ever a Collected Works Of, sign me up for a copy. With leather tooling and ribbon marker, naturally.

This post needs some sort of advisory:

“Warning, may cause scalding fluids to squirt from your sinuses so hard they blow a hole in your monitor and scald the cat that insists on squeezing back there.”

I’ll never look at green G.I. Joes the same way again.

Seriously Strange, if you ever want to blog on my microscopic space in the ether, leave a note in the comments.

Dude, I’ve tried. Strange likes free-ballin’ it.

Kevin, I figured but I had to try.

Does that mean he isn’t coming to the testimonial dinner? The Grand Prospect Hall will only refund half the deposit, and I ordered a Plexiglass lecturn.

Comment by Mrs. Polly on 01/31/09 at 03:16 PM

emm, lectErn. I wondered why Plexiworld.com kept giving me that error message. Actually, I may have ordered the C-thru Canopic Jar. My bad.

I’m afraid to ask what that is.

Just to say for the record, Mrs. Polly is also very gifted with the pen, or keyboard as it may be.

Bravo. I know that reference. I only wish everyone could see those local commercials. I wonder if they’ve been YouTube’ed.

Oh, hells yeah. I’ve just been negligent in sending her an email full o’ beg.

Agreed 100%!

We have an early fave for comment of the year. Mrs. P’s blog and comments are also must-reads.

Comment by Betty Cracker on 01/31/09 at 04:13 PM

I don’t know why I thought Mrs. Polly blogged here. Must be that high quality giggle grass President B HUSSEIN Obama X forces us to smoke every day.

Wait, now I remember. Her post and drawings about a certain political group made me fall out of my chair and crack my skull.

You people are all very dangerous.

This post has stripped me bare of any self-respect of my own snark abilities. I truly am not worthy. Well done.

That comment should be bronzed.

That speaks to the biggest problem with PJM: Their writing was never half as good as the Rump comments section.

Comment by ts on 01/31/09 at 06:11 PM

Seriously, Rumproasters, the consistently high standards of the bloggers and the commenters here inspires me. And the LOLs per pixel ratio is unequalled on the web.

You complete me.

I must say that’s like comparing my athletic prowess to Usain Bolt’s. Or any athlete, including some of the bigger kids in the Pee Wee league. But hey, if I went around touting myself as an Olympic caliber athlete I’d deserve to be mocked and pelted with rotten fruit.
