Comments on Freaky Friday: Meet Your Hosts

No Fnarf? It's clearly time for a slog boycot. =P

Hey, that's a great crew -- the best yet. I look forward to ripping you all new ones in the comments!

Live the dream, Mr. Poe!

I hope DOUG. covers the bicycle action instead of E "well, hrC hates bikes, so I do too" B.

I love you, Fnarf.

Good picks.

Awww. And I'll be away from my computer all day so no chance to read what I'm sure will be scintillating.

who ARE some of these people; I've never heard of half of them...

@8, who ARE these people??!!?? You are totally correct. I think they are just made up by the Stanger staff.

o.m.g. what the fuck were they thinking. grrrrrrrr!

Should I be proud or embarrassed that I remember all of them quite clearly?

Mr. Poe, you just keep your cotton-pickin' hands to yourself.

A word of advice: pics. No post without one. And try and resist the temptation to put them together beforehand (i.e., now); you'll write too much. If you MUST write too much, paragraph often.

Why is all of Slog in bold?

Mmmmm....Fnarf...

a friend and lurker emailed me wanting to know if my feelings were hurt because I wasn't asked.

I had to tell her, that as a TitanMan Exclusive, I wouldn't be eligible to perform for another porn outlet such as Slog. It would violate my contract and they would cancel the forthcoming "Strangeways LifeLike Dildo".

Mr. Poe!!!!!!!!!

If I'd known you'd get the power to inline pictures, I might have lobbied for a position myself. ;)

@10

Oh, and don't worry about the whole Dan Savage/Terry Miller thing. It isn't anything you can't get in on.

Dream on, mo. Aislinn has a better chance than you -- though the nose ring, and the moral standards of a deeply creeped-out nation, will quickly put an end to that idea.

@11 - Don't worry, Fnarf. Lot's of pics planned up in here.

+25 Achievement points!

Yay Big Sven and Mr. Poe! I'm sure the rest of you are lovely too.

Savage should have been on the list. Maybe it would make him get off his ass and post something for a change.

I see what you did there.

Waiting for Poe to get all over the moviez...

Oh, Mark Mitchell is gonna Slog, too! That is so totally awesome I just came a little, in my pants.

@17 i don't know about terry. is he cute? but dan... waaaaay too old, his name is dan (i'd get confused), and i get flustered around such awesome greatness. you have fun.

flame on, yo

I demand NAFUN be added.

Whoops. My bio was supposed to say...

Inga (Mrs. Sven)

Inga has a vagina.

Not my last typo for the week, probably.

Nice! They've already removed something from my bio!

I'm already not liking this. At all. If I'm going to be censored over blatantly obvious jesting shit, why should I even bother posting?

This isn't even an alternative newspaper anymore. This is turning into one big fucking joke. Seattle Weekly, anyone?

Snubbed again I see. Was the thought process of the Slogging committee; Not no, but hell no?

On the other hand, what better way to discover what truly gets under their skin?

Next time, I want Ben Stein.

Nice lineup! Will any of you be there on Thursday so you can see that I really am a nice guy before I leave a bunch of mean-spirited and mildly perverted comments on your posts?

great (other) choices! three scrabble mentions?

mr poe, i'm glad you are on the list. they might have censored you... or maybe you provided more than the 200 word description they asked for? i got cut down as well, but it was nothing salacious. pretty boring actually. which brings me to my next thought...

when i saw a message posted asking for a TSM’s contact information, i had a feeling freaky friday was upon us again. i check my email immediately. was i the only one who did this?

i was pretty excited to be chosen, but i've got to tell you, i'm not sure what i'm going to post. i'm not sure i'll have anything interesting or useful to contribute. (hopefully i'll be wrong about that, too.) but i'll do my best.

@28 I agree, that's fucking lame- I guess some old queens can't take a joke.

Yae, Big Sven and Mr. Poe.
I hope I get time to check in on Friday and read what you all write.

Exelizabeth, I love to work with Junior High too and people always cringe when I say that is my favorite age group.

@33 All else fails, post porn... with Octopi, preferably.

Sounds like fun... I'd be down for that the next time around.

Sven @27: I don't believe you, I believe the Slog. If you're going to convince me, you're going to have to supply some evidence, I'm afraid.

lmao, Realty Check, you know that between you, me and like 3 other people it'd be the most conservative day on Slog ever.

Hernandez@32, I will be there at Havana Thursday night. I'm the one who looks like his nickname should be "Big Sven."

Hopefully Ms. Sven will be with me, but we are having a hard time lining up a babysitter (we normally take our EXTREMELY WELL BEHAVED children with us to events...)

The Friday installment of Currently Hanging could be exceptionally tense, this time around....

way to go, SLOG OVERLORDS...you've pissed off Mr Poe, your only entertaining selection for Freaky Friday, and one of the few people that anyone has ever heard of...

and just because he wants to be the jam in a Peanut butter, Savage and Miller sandwich...

Hey, MS--you callin' Savage and Miller whitebread?

Oh, yeah.

I guess they are.

I nominate Abby for the next round.

I'm submitting eight tributes to my bicycle.

I agree, Abby needs to be nominated for next one - too bad there's only two girls this time.

thank you doug. at least now my posts won't be the most boring...

I have stage fright about Friday. Fnarf, I'm glad you'll be around.

And Poe, I'm so thrilled to be in the company of such an unsavory young gentleman. Grr.

not that you don't have a nice bicycle. i mean, i've heard great things about it. maybe enough for four, or five posts. but eight? that's a little extreme.

@39 Bellevue Ave

That would be fun now wouldn't it? If the Stranger really wants some spice, they should add us to the mix..

:)

That is the exact reason they wont do it RC, because we are different enough from the stranger POV that it'd cause a huge mess for them to clean up.

Mark @48: I'm hoping for something with show tunes. I think you're the one that can do it. I'm counting on you, you hear me?

Bellevue Ave, are you kidding yourself? Are you able to pull on an undershirt over that inflated head of yours?

Congrats to you all, and may I say that you've upped the bar when it comes to bios. (or maybe it's the beer talking) Nevertheless, I am looking forward to Friday. Good slogging!

If I was a Freaky Friday blogger, all you'd get would be show tunes.

Oh the librarians are so gonna boycott your asses..... do you underestimate the power of the librarian? apparently.

@ Guest Sloggers,

Muy simpatico line up.

Before you post, just remember that the internets are forever and everything depends on this, so don't get nervous.

You guys should choose a theme:

Freaky Friday 3: The Dream Warriors

Freaky Friday 3: At Slog's End

Freaky Friday 3: The Search for Fnarf

You’ll be told to keep it short, but just remember that a 2,000 word manifesto *is* short to some people (like the New Yorker).

And be sure to post something that makes the commenters heads explode; you’ll be surprised how easy that is!

Now think of England, do your solemn duty and make us proud!

P.S. Señor Poe, your ass is mine, heh heh heh.

I wear cardigan undershirts

this seems incestuous

Yes, I took that thing out. Leave my boyfriend out of it, Mr. Poe. He's an innocent bystander.

You should make them out of hair, B.Ave.

I love the descriptions of everyone!!! :)

Wow, you know you're a bastion of leftocity when Bellevue Ave and Reality Check think they look conservative.

Actually, guys, you never struck me as conservative. Correct, sure, but conservative? Reality Check schtick over the top occasionally, sure, but conservative?

Maybe that's just me looking at Slog through my moderate liberal lense, and you guys are aligned with my viewpoints on most things. Or maybe because we live on the same street. Yeah.

I know what you mean, though. If I had the keys to Slog I'd probably write about:

a) condo whiners are a bunch of pussies with no concept of how their neighborhood got to the state it's in now
b) miles per gallon doesn't mean shit if your scooter has terrible emissions (and yes, parking stickers stolen off of scooters is actually kind of comical)
c) assertions supported by actual statistical analysis rather than cherry-picked shock stories

"He, like almost every guy knows, moved to Seattle to follow a girl. When that didn’t work out, he got a computer job, made some Internet money, married a girl way out his league, reproduced and reevaluated his day job"

Ok... check, check, check. I'm stuck on "marry a girl way out of my league". Any tips?

I discovered last year it is much more fun to comment than to slog.

I wish I could tell you, w7ngman. Booze and flowers help. The rest is still a mystery to me.

@63

that is kind of the point though isnt it? the relative comparison to us and slog makes us look like Barry Goldwater. I don't think I am especially conservative in many regards but the amount of crap that gets pushed here in regards to macro economic theory, relative standard of living comparisons, and a few other money related issues just makes me seem way right of everyone.

I had an audience with Mr Poe at the last Slog gathering. He was exactly what I pictured only more so. Hope to see him again at Havana...

I'll be too busy at work on Friday to Slog during the day, but I look forward to some entertaining reading with a bottle of my favorite beverage on Friday evening.

@44 and 46: aww, you're making me blush. Thanks!

If I was Slogging all my posts would be about Eurovision. It's that time of the year!

I'm looking forward to this! My advice to this Friday's Freaks: no more than one Mudede parody between the bunch of you all day long. The Freaks should draw straws now to see who gets to do it. It's more of a challenge to parody ECB and the rest, anyway.

oh god, eurovision. I'm glad that football and eurovision is how countries build alliances and fight one another instead of bombs.

More Eurovision!

Dangit, where's my invite?

Football and Eurovision make up at least 75% of my free time, Bellevue Ave. More from March to May.

(France is sending an extremely legitimate artist. They always have to be different, don't they?)

@63 I completely agree with Bellvue Ave's thoughts @ 66.

Being over the top occasionally goes more towards making a point at how outlandish the point that some other slogger is making. :)

I love the story suggestions btw...

Ohh and I'm looking for some tips too, as your description of why/how/what the average Sloggers story is all about describes me to a tee as well...

Maybe the Stranger staff will invite all 3 of us to their crack staff, to make the SLOG, more "Fair and Balanced".

I'm just salivating at the chance to parody Chaz!

What is your footballing preference, Abby, so that I may better know if you walk with the angels, or grub in the mud with Satan's minions?

I will only be slogging about important issues, like:

- The Green Giant's penis
- Why people who liked Blood Diamond are tasteless retards
- Older men; hairy chests, hairy legs, big cocks, hairy arms, shaved back, et al
- Boners
- Movie reviews that (hopefully) won't put you to sleep

That's the plan, Stan.

I'm not trying to be slog-snarky, I'm just really curious: How can someone work in the aerospace industry in the USA and NOT do work for the DoD? That seems like quite a feat.

Arsenal and Hertha Berlin (I even write a Hertha blog), Fnarf, with kind thoughts towards FC Barcelona and any German team in European competition. I'll even try not to hate Bayern Munich if they get to the UEFA Cup final. (Would much prefer any of the other Bundesliga teams, and the winner of Hamburg-Leverkusen might have a chance, but I'm realistic on occasion.)

Boeing's civilian and defense construction are different companies. They have separate contracts. An independent company might have a contract with one, the other, or both.

Arsenal is my team too. I wish that my old fuzzy JVC lettered jersey still fit.

Wow. I spend one day at a funeral, and look at what I miss...

I'm loving being name-checked by Fnarf. I'm his original fangirl.

My posts are going to be too long. I'm okay with that. And I'm not going to do any parodies. Sorry.

Yuk, the high school cool clique rises like the cancer that never quite dies.

I have no desire to know facts, real names or personalities of any poster. For me, the lack of same is the attraction.

Of course the Stranger will make you viable marketing stock, because as you know, your views don't mean shit, just clic, clic, clic.

And if you are really radical/unorthodox, the herd turns on you like a pack. How original. Poor Charles.

Or they correct grammar, spelling and get very sexist and often overtly homophobic.

Now for some real adventure - to the Latino bars of White Center to pick up men.

Ciao.

ARSEnal? [spit] Ugh. The Filth? All your dreams will be dead soon, when Liverpool knocks you out of the Champions League, and the disgusting Man Utd take the Premiership away from you.

Tottenham Hotspur, now there's a glorious football club! You may not think much of the League Cup, but it's more than Arsenal will be winning this year.

you people totally so ignore the brilliant brains who chime in here. and i'm not talking about me. just look at some of those who post and never get your uber cool acknowledgment.... i love pussy.. do you love pussy? of course not, mr. gay newspaper boys. inviting a girl to your party is like inviting a person with a scarf to a knife fight.

KID ICARUS:

I've been playing as you all week(so far) on Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Or Pit, or whatever.

Thank goodness I'll be at the hospital all day Friday so as to avoid SixShooter's pro-police brutality rants.

How's 11th place treating you, Fnarf? Weren't you supposed to consign us to fifth or lower this year? And how's that £16.5 million striker working out?

Damn I don't read slog for a day, and jesus look what happens!

Yay for all the guest sloggers!! I am stoked, it's going to be a fun freaky friday.

But I agree with Elswinger, its much more fun to just comment. hahaha, but you'll see.... ;)

ps. Love you POE

Wow, turns out I know infrequent. Hi Geoffrey!

OMGWTFBBQ! hey levi! are you going to the thing on thursday at the place? slog happy?

oh wait, this thread's dead now, isn't it?

Our striker is better than yours, and you know it, Abby! Not the loser we signed this season; the other one, with the frightening hair. 11th place sucks, honestly, but we had some managerial trouble earlier this year, and our fucking pig of a chairman couldn't keep his mouth shut. But we came through it OK. Builds character, something Arsenal have never known.

Our team also lost the 100 kg (apparently all of it beer) that was needed to rejoin the fleet and elite. I think we'll finish higher than that. And we do have silverware....

You have to admit that seeing the likes of Barnsley and Cardiff fighting for the FA Cup is extremely enjoyable!

Which one of our strikers, Fnarf? The league's second-top scorer or the potential top scorer (who, granted, is made of glass)? But Spurs aren't all bad. Who else are going to buy players Hertha doesn't want any more for inflated transfer fees?

The FA Cup this year is great. I might even watch the final, and I rarely do if Arsenal isn't involved. The romantic in me wants it to go to Barnsley, but Arsenal's retirement home by the sea also gets some kind thoughts from my direction...

(If this thread isn't totally dead . . .) - I keep wanting to go to a slog happy, but I don't think this month it's in the cards. This week is a bit crazy. I'll be here razzing you on Friday, though.

great...

(at least fnarf and abbey won't. i think they'll still be debating here by then...)

If I didn't have to work, I'd just drunkenly troll Slog all Friday. *sigh* Missed opportunities...

P.S. I have Mr. Poe's phone number.
