Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Slog Comment of the Year
Posted by Chicago Fan on Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 2:56 PM
Based on moving up the Blogosphere Hierarchy goes to:
4
You know you spend too much time on the internet when....
You check out the comments section on a post about typing in tongues (not on Slog) and then pop over to The Dish, and then over to Slog, only to see a post about a comment....that links back to The Dish about a story whose comments you were checking on the original blog.
I'd call this meta, but I think I'd be giving myself too much credit.

Does he have a title now? Does this mean we have to bow to him if we're granted an audience at Slog Happy?

I have instituted a new revenue plan whereby each of you owes me a dollar every time you read a comment of mine. Collection may be a problem, but for now you can just bring your rolls of pennies down to The Stranger offices and Nipper'll hold 'em for me.

Well, it looks like he was rendered silent for approximately...six minutes, is it?
Congratulations, you ole blowhard.

So it's like the Oscars where things are honored for being trite and not at all original? I get it. Move to Hollywood now you insufferable hack.

What about my comment on some astrology related Slog post from a few months ago when a bunch of commenters were talking shit on astrology nuts, and I said, "all you talking shit on astrology need to get your heads examined. I know of a good phrenologist I can recommend!"
I got freakin' hosed, damnit.

@20, when I'm eating caviar out of Anne Hathaway's navel on the hood of my speeding limo you'll be sorry you were so mean.
Got any priors for "typing in fingers", by the way? Since you're sure it's not original and all.
@21, "phrenologist" is a good one, I'll grant you, but the people have spoken. Well, not the people, so much, but Andrew Sullivan's substitute blogger. It still counts, right?

@15, Jubie would be pissed, but unfortunately he lost a great amount of blood in an unfortunate pitbull fight between Mr. Poe and a Slog intern. After a long and slow recovery, he has been unable to do much more than unhumorously troll thou, or to suck off toothless old alcoholics in the men's rooms of local gay dive bars. 'Tis a pity, true.
24
@23, well, he's doing it wrong, then. The toothless ones are supposed to be sucking YOU. I find it very difficult to believe that as cultivated a gentleman as Mr. Cornball would make such an elementary mistake.
25
I thought JTC's Fnarf trolling was just good natured ribbing. It was too boring and unfunny to be mean. JTC is not a very good troll.
26
I only get called out on slog when I say something stupid, like Mano a Mano. Thanks David. At least I don't have Sullivan taking my comments national.
You guys watch it, I can have Mr. Poe back on here commenting in no time.

I had to google up the Slog comments of 2008. Poor Chelsea Alvarez-Bell. :-(

Crap. Fnarf was an innocent when we were slogging comments to each other.
I finally may have to come out of my retirement.

Andrew's on vacation, and this was pointed out by one of his underbloggers, so Fnarf only wins half an internet this time.

@30 QFT.
He was a classy and thoughtful guy (and gifted with the steath snark). I still remember reading the news of his passing while I was visiting my parents in ID. I don't think I've ever been as broken up about the death of someone I've never met, but I cried hard. Having worked a couple stints in nursing home kitchens, and having an uncle who has lived in nursing homes for over 50 yrs (kicked in the head by a horse as a kid), I visualized all too well what he was going through. Yet he always had a gentle grace in his posts, even while describing the horror he was living.
Thank you thank you, Gus, for stirring up good memories of elswinger, or as I always heard it in my head:
"elllLLL SwiiinngGerrrr!"
