The Unstable Hambeast video broke it wide open.

Thanks Jen!

I will miss your epic PUMA bashing, not just because it’s a victimless crime, but because it’s so fun reading their torqued-out bitter retard-demon responses.

Sigh.

But I’ve found rumproast, and that makes me hungry.

We are the World!

18 million strong!

Congratulations to Kevin K., the Rumproast blogpen and the larger Roastafarian Community of masked vigilantes, online stalkers and stand-up comedy-saboteurs.

I will miss the PUMAs—the same way I miss that psycho cheerleader I dumped at the Homecoming Dance, who tried to reignite my affections by burning down her parents’ house, sleeping with a diseased hobo and handing out flyers in the parking lot at Jo-Ann Fabrics enumerating my personal faults in a hand-printed list under an upside-down copy my yearbook photo with the words “Woman-Lynching Ego Dick—WHY???” scrawled across it in tear-streaked eyeliner. 

Sigh. Good times, good times.

StrangeAppar8us,

So that was you!  You looked pretty good for a 17 year old woman-lynching ego dick.

Strange - Jen was a cheerleader?

Wow, finally read that “Slut, Cunt, Bitch, Pussy, Sweetie” cry-for-help Murphy wrote.  Yikes.  Does anyone know who the little girl in the picture is?

I think a lot of credit must go to myiq2xu. I think his efforts on Wonkette and elsewhere served as a daily reminder to vote and vote hard, in case anyone wasn’t paying attention.

I’m in moderation.  Can someone get me out?

*thud thud thud*

Is it because I wrote the name of “the site that gives us cooties”?

Halp.

Cheating is awesome!  I’m going to do it all the time now.

sex!st.

Testing.

What are these “PUMAS” of which you speak? ;)

“the pumarang effect”

Brilliant.

@Kevin K.

I have a wild guess it’s The Murphster, age 7 or so.

I’m actually quite happy about the coming PUMA moratorium. I’m sure there’ll be more than enough fodder for lower-level snark and boggling in the comments without the incitement of a full-blown post (though I do have my suspicions that something is going to come along and drive you to suspend it temporarily at some point, Kevin).

There’ve been reasonably long periods during the election and after when I’ve not visited the PUMA blogs at all, just reacted to their activities when they ventured out or escaped from their gated communities.

When I’ve eventually gone back to them, the experience has been akin to opening up a neglected kitchen cupboard to find that a bag of potatoes has gone feral - “Ohh ... my ... God ... Where’s the camera?”

I’ve probably shared too much about my housekeeping skills chez yetanotherfreaking brit there.

Man, that was a lot of FAIL, even by PUMA standards.

Shameless plug: I’ve started a PUMA stalker blog of my own to help fill the void being left by Rumproast as rr moves on to things that, you know, actually fucking matter!

Well the PUMAs brought me here, then over to Wonkette and now I have thousands of jokes per week to steal,so god bless ‘em.

The PUMA jokes are still flowing over at Wonkette, so yall have done your job well.

Love your new blog Rob!

While I totally support the moratorium on PUMA posts, the pumarang effect is not to be dismissed lightly.  There needs to be a way to get them incensed and frothing against issues now and then when these are issues that need to succeed.  Perhaps we can use RobLanding’s venue now and then to incite them.  We just need to make sure they find it so they can start stalking it back.

Oh, and I said it yesterday, but I’ll say it again:

Rumproast RULES!!!!!

Well done Kevin.

While I respect the moratorium on pumakitty posts I have a $20 that says their future shenanigans will include such fucktarded behavior that you won’t be able to resist.

When that day comes I will happily pay up because I know the level of snark in whatever you post will be of such a caliber that it will be well worth it.

Upon reflection, the funniest aspect by far is what you mentioned above—that the PUMArang effect took out PUMA blogs that would have won if their comrades would’ve just kept their pieholes shut. That’s worse than epic fail. It’s exponential fail or something…

Sweet jumping Jebuz in a burning Prius, are these folks paranoid lunatics or what? What with all the perl scriptin’ and modem unpluggin’ I have to wonder how many LGF’rs they pulled away from serif inspection duties.

Opportunity cost, you know.

Anyway, congrats on the beefy victory! Even if it was, ya know, actually “earned” and not brilliantly scammed.

Does anyone else find it suspicious that the Weblogs Award Winner snipe just happens to match the Rumproast blog color-scheme…and that the maroon-and-gold design was chose before Rumproast was even nominated?

Something tells me Soros and the Chicago Machine were actively grooming RR for “bigger things” a lot earlier on than any of us suspected.

something is going to come along and drive you to suspend it temporarily

No doubt the PUMAs will generate some unique takes on the goings-on at the State Department…

Congrats on the award, and thanks to Wonk for introducing me to this place and its glorious snark.  May the archives stand forever as a testament to PUMA failure: “I am riverdaughter, queen of cats.  Look upon my posts, ye readers, and guffaw.”

AND WEEEEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRRRIIIEEE—-NNNNNNDDDDD AND WE’LL KEEP ON FIIIIIIGGHTTIINNGG TO THE EEENNNNDDDDDD ...

Now all of you woman-lynching-cardboard-cut-out raping assholes go and unplug your modems and leave them unplugged for 10 minutes. There’ll be a big surprise when you spool back up. I promise.

Also, I have free coffee for anyone who would like a cup, just because.

Just. Because.

I don’t want to distract from all the rampant and throughly enjoyable triumphalism, but I want to add something that served as the packet of cheese and onion crisps to increase my enjoyment of the beer with which I’m toasting Rumproast’s victory.

I guess Siskind’s reference to PUMAs as “That Other Group” makes them the “That One” of feminist political pariahs.

How fitting. “PUMA” is to “Feminism” what “Obama” is to “PUMA.”

My glee is unbounded.

Speaking of PUMA and EPIC fail.

Hero Larry Sinclair has published his “book”. Check out this video at reg-u-la-tor:

Like others, I found this blog because it told the truth about Chucky,Murphy,etc.  But I agree, it’s time to move on. 
On that note, I thought I’d share my introduction to the puma “movement”
  It was sent to a list I subscribe to back in May ‘08,around the time of the WV primary. It isn’t much different from what you see at Chucky’s site today.  When asked to prove the allegations, she couldn’t offer any:

There are several sides to every story.

As any veteran political activist knows, the insults are freely hurled
at us for choosing a candidate who most embodies our hopes for our
country.

Obama supporters are not innocents; they are militant with the insults,
the character assassinations, the threats of violence.

While attending the rally at the Capitol complex in Charleston, Obama
supporters were handing out flyers to Clinton supporters advising that
if Obama is not appointed the democratic nominee, then Denver would be
sacked by riots.

During the same rally, Clinton supporters’ cars were vandolized in the
parking lots.

On a separate day, a man who had travelled from afar, arrived in
Charleston in his van which was heavily promoting Hillary Clinton, and
he barely survived the three bullets that were fired into his van,
narrowly missing his head.

Here in Cabell and Wayne counties, over 100 Hillary yard signs were
stolen from the road sides—consituting a felony.

One Obama supporter misrepresented himself (by lying) by attending
Bill Clinton’s event in Wayne, and promoted himself to unsuspecting
Clinton volunteers as having “voted for Clinton” the previous week.

Hillary supporters on the sidewalks, conducting visability
‘honk-and-waves’ were accosted verbally for over twenty minutes
straight by an Obama supporter.

Point is… this is what people do during a heated campaign. If the
candidate of unity would utilize his skill, I am certain he could talk
to his fans and explain to them again about hope, and friendship, and
getting along with everyone. So.. no name calling, stealling, shooting,
or vandalism.

And.. for the record, after calling thousands of people for days and
days across this great state of WV… the outside media have it
wrong… WV people were not racist in their decisions. The thousands I
spoke with were more concerned with the economy and they believe in and
have a faith in Clinton to understand their values. Obama just didn’t
connect that way with the people in the hills. Only one man said he
couldn’t vote for a black man… and he was the same man who said he
could not vote for a woman, either.

Daragh now making the hard sell for donations. I think the FEC fine letter may have come.

Balls. That was Naomi Wolff, not Siskind.

Same net effect, though.

I love how they pimp Iron Jawed Angels all over PUMAland. I guess they just block out the scene where Ida B. Wells refuses to stay in the back of the segregated suffrage parade with the other black women.

Or maybe they just assume such a segregationist stance is the right one to take against an inadequate black female and empty suit like Wells. I mean, other than fight actual lynching and jim crow laws all her adult life, what did that bitch ever do for anybody?

Only White Vagina-Americans Have Ever Suffered Oppression!

It’s Wolf. Not Wolff. It’s a completely understandable error as the Effluence crew obviously haven’t a clue about it, and you’ve just been reading their effusions.

I had to double-check myself to be sure. I do that all the time with names - professional training - though I’ll still fuck up at times when writing informally, like here.

But when people who proclaim themselves as hardline “liberal feminists” are as free with the spelling as these PUMAs are, it does make this jaded old male who’s long been exposed to feminism by actually living with feminists and paying attention to them and trying to keep up, it just adds to my cynicism about whether they’ve been concerned about feminism at all before it served their political goals.

Not that Wolf is without her controversy as a feminist (broad church etc. etc.), but not on any of the grounds these PUMAs have spouted about.

I liked how Taggles is “confused” as to why Siskind wouldn’t want to publicly align herself with PUMAs on CNN.

@yetanotherfreakingbrit

Thanks for the kind correction. I’m supposed to be an editor, but I’m truly sucking today. Luckily for me, while online comments are immortal, you don’t have to pay twice for pre-press when you fuck up here.

I think the moratorium is premature. Why missed out on (at the very least) the first week of Barack X’s presidency?

The crazy is going to be pretty significant methinks.

Strangey—This wasn’t me being diplomatic:

It’s a completely understandable error

When you see something misspelt so often in a certain context, you can doubt your own memory, and may casually adopt it when focusing on larger issues.

A trivial point, to be sure, but I’ve quaffed enough beer to emphasize my inherent pedantic dweebness without the alcohol kicking in sufficiently for me to attain that delicious state where I no longer giveadamn.

I’m working on it. It is Friday, after all.

Cheersh! Here’sh to Rumproasht, and all who shail in her.

The crazy is going to be pretty significant methinks.

It’s a good point.  My only thought is that the crazies at NRO may fill that void.  Jonah Goldberg anyone?

My only thought is that the crazies at NRO may fill that void.

NRO and a host of other wholesale wingnut retardation outlets that have the advantage of representing the views of a significant chunk of the US electorate, something PUMA has demonstrated beyond all possible doubt that it does NOT have.

Congratulations on the win.  (Attn: lurking PUMAs, ha ha, you bunch of fucking losers.)

(which include hating Hillary, lesbians and swarthy brown people).

From their point of view one out of three ain’t bad.  In fact it’s awesome. 

I understand walking away from anti-PUMA blogging but do you really want to miss out on the reaction to Obama’s inauguration?  It’s going to be hilarious. It doesn’t even have to be a whole week.  If not a week, how about a couple of days? 24 hours maybe?  (Attn: lurking PUMAs, ha ha, enjoy seeing a brown man being sworn in you bunch of fucking losers.)

I probably shouldn’t post this here, but I think I can trust you. This is the actual unbeatable Perl script that they wrote. If you run it, you will see that it really works!

I don’t know why we didn’t protect ourselves against this sort of thing. I reckon I’m just an idiot.

Sean—You are right!  I tried it and my computer gave me this message:

“It really worked!  No, really, it did!”

:D

@Sean Gleeson

Wow. That’s 13 lines shorter than the one I was running.

Then again, I was also subtracting previously-logged votes from the blogs I didn’t like.

Thanks for sharing…and thanks for the trust. Here’s hoping the awards were a ginormous success for you folks, as well! We’re already, like, rich and stuff as a result of our Total Small-Blog Domination.

Regarding the inauguration and the PUMAs, we’ll have an open thread or two open on that day and I fully trust our commenters to do a wonderful job when it comes to updates.

Sean—You are right!  I tried it and my computer gave me this message:

“It really worked!  No, really, it did!”

Without laughing at me for my total cluelessness about this stuff but can you tell me - were you just kidding there or did you actually do something with that red and blue stuff?  If so what did you do?  I want to make my computer do that too!

Hats off to you, Sean. You obviously have a very healthy sense of humor - which I’d imagine is a must when people get petulant about the awards. Assuming this was you and not an imposter, I’d just like to say bravo!

Without laughing at me for my total cluelessness about this stuff but can you tell me - were you just kidding there or did you actually do something with that red and blue stuff?  If so what did you do?  I want to make my computer do that too!

Marin, do not run that script.  If you do, Harriet Christian will fly south for the winter.

On second thought…

Sean, very funny, but it gave nightmares.  I used to do some lightweight web front-end Perl coding back in my early web days.

Kevin & Co., congratulations. Very cool to see the recognition come your way. Good job. Keep up the good work. Oopah!

What do you mean “Not one vote was taken away from us”?  You mean none of us are cheaters?  Damn, that’s sad. 

Or are we such good cheaters no one noticed?*

*shh, don’t anyone tell the Pumas

Congratulations Kevin.  Although my internetting on your blog has cut deeply into my surfing for watersports sites, I have found here some interesting posts.  All of your fellow teammates at the Cheshire Water Polo Club are damn proud of you!  Now, get your Speedo resewn and get back up here!

congrats, kevin!  it couldn’t happen to a nicer blog!

Excellent!
