This is how Jews work: we say “I am who I am” and we mean it.
I teach for 6 ½ hours today, need to attend a staff meeting, have given up the rest of my day to office hours and must, at some point, eat, so I have no time to deal with this admittedly hilarious situation. That said, in whatever moments I can steal from this damnably engorged day, I’d love to find some evidence that the world hasn’t forsaken its sense of humor for a bag of chips and a chopping block.
You’re Popeye?
…or G-d?
אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה בָּט מַן
Crudely transliterated or no, that one’s going in the ledger.
Something something Bat Man?
(Man it’s been a looong time since Hebrew School.)
Sorry, that was supposed to be in response to SEK’s Hebrew post but something wonky happened.
And this is supposed to be in response to my “something something Bat Man” post, but apparently replies are not working?
The Hebrew HTML did something funky: It’s just supposed to be boilerplate: “I am that I am Bat Man,” but it’s been a while since I’ve been to Hebrew school too.
Nu, nu, nu, nu, nu, nu, nu, nu, Batman?
SEK is to weird shit as lightning rod is to lightning
a weird shit rod? What a concept…
He’s a misery well. It’s like a gravity well, but with misery.
Actually, I’m a vortex of misfortune, I just handle it better when it’s not Week Eight and I don’t have 117 papers to mark. (I do this twirly thing with my arms though, and it’s almost just like a dance … only as performed by an uncoordinated deaf person. Which is only to say: I’ve seen the video, and that urge to laugh, even just imagining the scene, is totally justified.)
(That being related to the vortex, and me being very, very tired … and possibly Tintin, if I’ve misunderstood things incorrectly.)
Would it spoil the fun to point out how stupid you would have to be to go sleuthing for your identity and managing to somehow screw that up?
Most likely that is the fun, sadly.
You should post under a pseudonym, then they would find you. By posting under your real name, you have hidden yourself perfectly.
I’m sorry, but pursuant to the Blogger Identification requirements of the new Blogger Fraud Prevention and Honest Blogs and Elections Act, we can’t allow you to post until your identity has been verified. Please present three affidavits from respected members of the Tea Party community attesting to your identity, before attempting to post again. Any attempt to post without first presenting such proof of your identity constitutes felonious fraud. If you wish to cast a provisional post, please deposit it in the circular file.
Does your wife know of your entirely separate double life? And no wonder you are so busy.
At long last, sir: are you Tintin?
Actually, now I’m just very, very confused. I was told by someone at “Right Wing News,” which publishes ahem, had a “scoop” that something about my “true identity” would be published on “World Net Daily” yesterday. Honestly, I’m disappointed that nothing was, but still very, very confused. I think some conservatives are having difficulties keeping their threats straight at this point.
As has been said elsewhere, by people who may or may not be me, identity is a confusing thing.
Now that I’m reading that thread I’m even more confused than Gertrude Stein: was The Donalde going to “out” me not as the “John Casper” who attacked me, but as the the one who attacks him, on the basis that we both may be Belgian comic characters named Tintin? Seriously, I go off the internet for one day and now none of it makes sense.
I suspect that Donalde thinks you and repsac are the same person, that carl salami is tintin, and that I somehow tie in to all of this, as “Amy Alkon’s got
your[my] number [pointless profanity deleted].”Since this does correspond to the Law of Fives, I’m convinced that we are All One Guy, perhaps Gary Ruppert.
This makes at least as much sense as any of Donalde’s speculations.
My inbox hasn’t confused me this much since the first time I logged into CompuServe and didn’t know what email was.
The way to process all this is to realize that all of this has been laid out in the Principia Discordia, and that Donalde is Gruad Greyface.
Donalde, Eris Loves You.
And just to put a bow on it, Arnold once chided Ruppert for stalking her.
We’re thru the looking glass here, people!
The fact is, I never stalked Amy. We are good, good friends. I am Meade to her Althouse.
Dammit! I have to stop being me!
Wait! Maybe I’m John Casper?
I self-identify as Getrude Stein.
Beats self-identifying as Ben Stein ,,,
…and I was just going to compliment you for finishing an advanced degree while raising Arnold’s love child.
Dammit, can’t you keep your stories straight?
Damn, I didn’t remember that the John Casper situation was focused on you. That was what got me to delink the General, back when I had a political blog — drove me nuts that he was sticking up for such a complete douchenozzle.
It’s water under a bridge now — a bridge I hate, and wish to be underfunded and washed into the sea at 3 a.m. when no one’s one or under it, but a bridge nonetheless.
Wow, I completely missed the John Casper thing when it happened four years ago apparently, so I’m catching up on the back story now.
I stopped reading JG a long time ago, but never realized what a dickhead he is. That’s some slimy stuff.
Hang in there Scott, you have friends and fans.
As always, appreciated.
Where the hell are your priorities?!!!
If someone sent me an e-mail saying in effect, “I’m stupid, and I’m out to get you”, I would crap myself over all the opportunities that had just been opened up for me.
You know, my priorities don’t matter, because this “threat,” such as it was, was so convoluted that I’m having problems processing it now. I’m somehow implicated in a vast conspiracy which has to do with me rightly designating The Donalde as a pedophile, then I became Belgian writing under the pseudonym “SEK,” so The Donalde wrote — or was going to write — something about this on “Right Wing News,” which would’ve gotten picked up by “World Net Daily” as an attempt to prove that me and some guy named Carl are Tintin, but then someone told World Net Daily about Google and they responded, “Fuck, this is too much, even for us”?
This must be what it feels like to live in The Donalde’s brain, and I’m going to be frank: I’m starting to feel a little sorry for the guy.
Just think of all the mental levers you have access to now, though.
I’m just jealous.
Just think of all the mental levers you have access to now, though.
Don’t touch that! You don’t know what it might be connected to.
You don’t know what it might be connected to.
Anger and self-loathing, is my bet.
How did I,
