Ok that....
Dammit it was incomprehensible!
I sat here with my eyes getting squintier and squintier, and my brow getting wrinklier and wrinklier, and I came up with…….Dennis fears he may have multiple personality disorder?
There's going to be more than ONE Manhattan when I get home this evening let me tell you!
Heh. No, I don't do The Facebook...too many old boyfriends in the woodwork...but I would lurve to make it to Slog happy one of these days and meet up with my besties...mwah!
Instead of buying op-ed space on The Stranger, could you make sure your dad is taking his medication? Cuz it's all shits and giggles until he opens fire in a kindergarten.
Are you guys sure this is only Loughner-esque? I don't think y'all are taking Dale seriously enough, or despising him adequately. Needs more . . . reflex, and even less taste.
"WAITER: Well, you look like you're getting the idea, so why don't I give you these, uh, conversation cards? They'll tell you a little about philosophical method,..."
@23 Don't keep us waiting 4eva, Canuck. Slog Happy, Canuck Edition will be epic. You'll sail into the sound on an illegal iceberg turned rave boat, and ride up to the chosen bar on polarbear-back (get your mind out of the gutter) where we'll all be waiting in our finiest.
Dennis, you poor guy. Let me try to help you make a point.
The target audience for the NBA are those who want to see basketball played by the best players in the world.
The target audience for the WNBA, apparently, are those who want to see basketball played by people without penises.
It's a free country, and people can watch whatever kind of basketball they want. But isn't it kind of strange that the latter audience, small as it is, even exists? I mean, how does the absence of penises on the court make the game more compelling to these folks? One wonders if the WNBA's audience has something against people with penises.
OuterCow, I love that you know me enough to assume that I'll read something sexay into that, because you are right! (Okay, polar bear is simply mode of transport, got it, whatever....no fun...) and Kim, oh I would dearly love to meet all of you, that would be amazing! (You guys have Jagermeister there, right??) Hide yer lampshades and get out the 1975 disco tunes, oi!!!
@33: Yes, we have Jagermeister, but more importantly, we have Fireball, which is certainly among the best liquors ever produced in the Great White North.
If you go, I may just have to get off my ass and go myself.
What is this "Fireball" of which you speak, seandr? It sounds like something I could develop a rewarding relationship with...yes, if I ever make it to Slog Happy, I'll be disappointed if you and the drag queens fail to attend...
@26, PRECISELY what I was thinking. Dennis writes like Charles, if Charles were sent to a WASP-run deprogramming camp, forced to read Ayn Rand over and over for months, and then turned loose on a bottle of Drambuie and a 1998-vintage iMac.
Dennis: that level of detachment is not normal. My dreams have the third-person aspect you describe, but I'd be worried if my life did. You might want to have yourself checked out.
@35: Oh it would be EPIC if you came to a Slog Happy. I would take the day OFF for that. And there might be cupcakes again........(wanders off in a blissful haze)
As a former writing TA at a prestigious university I can confidently say that this essay resembles the drivel submitted by freshman bros who just read some Nietzsche and suddenly think they're all deep and interesting and stuff.
Your thoughts and ideas are not unique. Your writing is opaque, bordering on unreadable. Your 'philosophical' arguments are weak and self-serving.
Mmmmm..Fireball whiskey. I'm out of that, as well. (Vodka, Gin and Fireball all out at once? What am I doing with my life?)
Canuck, if you're heading over there for a SLOG happy, you better tell me. I'll see if I can get a trip across the country the same week as well. Although, the Toronto sloggers also need to remind you how excited we are to plan a SLOG North based on you making it to the centre of the world (I kid, I kid).
Haven't figured out what to have as my shot, yet. Will post again with my drink choice.
@41 Oooo, cinnamon whiskey...be still, my beating heart, that does sound yum indeed...
Canadian Nurse, although I am slightly worried that meeting me in person will be a big let down ("what? no glitter fingernails? no 7 inch lucite heels??") I would love, love, love to part of Slog Happy Canada, we would, of course, need one laptop (laptop, OuterCow, not lapdance, sheesh!) and an open thread on which to post our progressing inebriation...I will bring my iPod with the "Disco!" mix ("shake your GROOVE thing...")
I was going to write, "This is kinda what Jared Loughner will sound like in about 30 years (if he doesn't get the death penalty)." Good to know the first commenter had the same reaction.
(...sorry, gus? I didn't hear you say "shot"....chop chop!)

it craps me that there's an 's' in his name...

But shit, I prefer the NBA, so what do I know.

Go read some Kierkegaard and get over yourself.

Let me guess what you are now: Senior barista at a mall coffee shop.
Go read some Marmaduke and get over yourself.

Best. Comment. Ever.
