Enough Already

Okay, folks. This is it, the place where the rubber hits the road. No more recipes. And no more stupid, one-liner troll attacks. From here on out, they will be deleted.

For those of you who have wondered, “What is it with the whole recipe thing,” it is a tradition that evolved over at dailyKos. Their Scoop format, where readers are able to rate comments, has allowed the community to police the website; once a comment receives a certain number of troll ratings, it disappears. dKos diaries, however, presented a little thornier problem, since there was no ability to downrate them. Out of that dilemma was born the Kos recipe strategy: When a troll diary is posted, people respond by posting recipes, thereby simultaneously expressing their disapproval and depriving the troll of the ability to create any real discord.

Obviously, given our use of the Blogger format, we are constrained from using ratings to regulate our comments section, and our anonymous trolls seem to think it is insanely clever to post endless Portuguese recipes and comments like "Jerry McNerney is a L-O-S-E-R." It has gotten tedious.

As for myself, when I see comments that say “L-O-S-E-R” or propose a Portuguese "treat" laden with pork and lard, I just think of one thing:


Hat tip to SFBrianCL over at Calitics for the fine illustration of porcine corruption.

Yo babaloo.

Rocky here. Normally Rocky don't like friggin censors, sensors, or even duh census people tryin to take our consensus. Butt in dis case, I tink you is makin a good move.on dot org.

Duh way Rocky sees it, Team ButtWipe's goal is to corrupt everyting dey touch, from duh Marijuana Islands to duh US Congress to duh local Republican Party here in Stock-town and Low-di. Not satisfied wit dese accomplisments, now deys tryin to corrupt our blot. You know what I mean?

And anyways, duh friggin recipes ain't no friggin good neither. Who duh hell would eat duh kinda slop dey soivin? Dese ButtWipes probably can't tink straight cuz dere brains are clogged wit all duh choles-troll. Heh heh heh.

Even duh egg recipe wuz no friggin good. I mean REAL men like Rocky don't cook eggs anyways, we drink 'em.

Rocky out. Yo SPY: Like Rocky sed, we Dems like babaloo are smarter den you cuz somehow he/she has got a finger on sum kinda secret DELETE button. And even Rocky don't know where dis button is neither, so he can't blabola about it. Butt it is sumtin new again fer Rocky to loin about. Duh world of blottin jest never ceases to amaze Rocky wit all duh tricks.

Recipe for a Pombo Picnic

1) Find some endangered species, preferably kangaroo rats and kit foxes, then fry them up.

2) Be sure to include lots of whale meat.

3) Bring a basket of strawberries heavily sprayed with methyl bromide.

4) Drive to picnic in RV, preferably paid for by taxpayers.

5) Wear clothes made in Mariana Island sweatshops, where, despite it being a US territory, US labor laws do not apply, yet the clothes get the Made in USA label.

6) Invite oil company lobbyists to picnic at $5,000 a head.

7) Pay Annette $100,000 for "picnic consulting services".

There you have the recipe for summer fun at the Pombo Ranch!

Manny, were you at the Pombo Picnic I didn't see you in the photos.

I went over to your website. You are just as crazy as those lunatics Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. That means I am sure you will fit right in around here. I especially like your solution to illegal "migration":

I had said in my earlier post that the best solution to the illegal migration problem would be the creation of a mile-high wall, armed with minutemen carrying horse tranquilizors.

That's the kind of creative thinking we like to see around here!

Now, I don't know who the "Doers" are or what country they are coming from. But it sounds like more illegal immigrants. I think your mile-high wall will stop them also, which shows just how intelligent your solution really is.

Or maybe you meant "none of you are The Doors", and I have to admit, you are probably right about that, though, given this crazy blog, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jim Morrison posting soon.

Heh heh heh. And if you get lucky, Mr BeanO will chime in 'cept Rocky don't know if its really Mr BeanO or not.

Now jest cuz you call yerself a Manly Mann don't mean its friggin true. You might really be a Girly Mann judgin from dat butt ugly tie of yers, or even woise, a Churly Mann judgin from yer attitude sorta like Apollo Creed when he gets all uppity. I bet you don't even know what Churly means, do you? Moron!

"At the risk of sounding rude?" You ain't only risked it, you is it. You know what I'm sayin?

And funny ting is you seem to unnerstand every woid Rocky rote, so you can't be sayin you is in favor of duh English-only amendment? Cuz like we beat duh friggin English in like 1776 jest in case you missed it.

You is showin more dumBBness wit every friggin post, and dats why yer now up to 2 capitol Bs unlike duh friggin SPY who's up to 4 and Apollo who's got like 1 and only wunce in a wile e coyote. You ain't never gonna deal on dis blot if you don't start respectin dose of us in duh Inner Circle.

Yo Churly Mann.

Rocky here. You tink yer so friggin smart why don't you tell Rocky what Churly means? Woo woo woo.

Besides which you must be runnin off to duh friggin Marijuana Islands wit ButtaPombO if you tink Rocky owe you a apologee. No way does Rocky need to ask you fer yer fergiveness cuz I ain't done nuttin wrong and you is cummin in here knowin nuttin about nuttin cuz you don't even live in dis friggin district and yet youse tink you is qualified to talk down to all of us woiking hard to get rid of ButtaPombO. You know what I mean?

Foithermore, Rocky ain't hidin behind sum "stupid blog," he's right out front on a SMART BLOT dat is home to sum of duh leadin ineffectuals who ain't never been invited to the Democrat's Party. We jest friggin crashed it. You on duh udder hand is a disgrace and ain't never even been invited to dis blot. So behave yerself or you'll get zapped by duh Sensor who guards duh perimeter.

I mean like Rocky pay you a compliment fer yer song Blinded by Duh Friggin Light on accounta duh fact dat Adrian likes it and yet you toin around and insult Rocky fer no good reason. You owe Rocky an apologee if you ask me cuz you started dis fight butt Rocky's good at finishin 'em. Ask Apollo if yer in any way confused.

Anyways, I'm warnin you not to get on my bad side. You just ask duh last two guys who did if dat is where you wanna be. And get a new friggin tie, will ya? I mean Jeezus - dat one's ridiculous. Adrian wouldn't let me leave duh friggin house lookin like dat, which mebbe you don't neither and dat's why yer as pale as Caspar duh Friendly Wineburger.

Rocky out. Yo Ricky. Yo SPY. Mebbe youse guys oughta tell dis moron not to be buttin heads wit Rocky cuz its a game where losers lose and duh winners are like duh cream cheeze dat always rises to duh top of duh champion bagels.

Yo Hurdy Gurdy Mann.

Rocky here. I dunno what's goin on in yer noggin butt it soitenally don't look good. Mebbe yer butt-ugly tie is tied too tight. Butt anyways you need to get it checked out by a friggin karma-canic, and like real soon.

Foist you start by blamin Rocky fer yer trubbles and now you is blamin God. Jeezus! Am I right about dis or wrong about dat?

And like now yer also tellin Rocky he made a "POWERFUL ENEMA?" Tell Rocky sumtin he don't alreddy know and ask Rocky if he's scared. Ask Apollo if Rocky even knows duh meanin of dat woid - he don't.

Rocky gonna tell you, and only wunce, dat he wuz born an American too. So before you go tryin to earn yer third capital B by accusin Rocky of bein an illegal migraine, you'd better tink twice. Cuz three strikes and you is out -its duh friggin law. Woo woo woo.

And I wuz also Born in Duh USA, dat udder Bing Sprucesteen song dat if you had any class you woulda sung insted of Blinded by duh Friggin Light on accounta duh fact dat its patriotic wheras duh one you sang is a song fer wussies and whiners like you.

After all, dis is a can-do country. Where we would be if everyone wuz doin nuttin on accounta duh fact dat dey wuz all whinin about bein blinded by sum friggin light dat nobuddy else never saw?

Rocky out. We need to get dis Manny guy checked in.

Hello my friends: Everyone says this will be a bloddy campaign, I don't think so. The message is clear Pombo must go this time. The message is clear, Jerry party is out there? The winds of change takes time and as I used the Phrase in my campaign It's Time for Benigno, now it's time for Mc Nerney. I once wrote a term paper in college if everyone lite a candle in a dark stadium in would send out a glow. That's what will happen for Jerry.

Thanks
Tom Benigno

Babaloo, Mama luca? This is Tom Benigno also know as Tommy Bananas,citizen's voice. Bean'O, and many other names. Just so we know what's going on I Just endorsed Jerry Mc Nerney for Congress, as did Pete Mc Closkey. The reason's are clear Pombo must go. We can guide Jerry thru the bumbs of Washington but he will be a good represenitive. He's honest anyway. That's a good start.

Bean'O out.
