Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz "Marxist reasons why it's okay someone middle class is sad."

Posted by Cienna Madrid on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 2:39 PM

A big shiny gold star goes out to slog commenter PEM, who writes in defense (?) of Charles's irreplaceableness:

Mudede's non-Amanda Knox features are lovely. It's his Slog posts that are borderline insane. I propose a system of emoticons to help us parse his often inscrutable approaches to tone.

:-)
I have noticed something magical on the way to work about birds.

;-)
I am provoking you to get a reaction. Slog is my tickle machine.

:-(
Shitty things about kids and dogs.

:-( ™
Shitty things about my kids.

XX
Shitty things about women

:-o
Space! Rainbows. F*ing magnets, how do they work!

8-o
Philosophy!

$
Marxism.

$$
Marxism rocks.

$$$
The futility of Americans who buy things

Charles can't stop cackling. Paul can't stop giggling. The gold-starryness continues after the jump.

$$$ :'-(
Marxist reasons why it's okay someone middle class is sad.

$·$ :'-(
The fact that a robber of color made them sad puts me in an awkward place philosophically.

$·$ :'-( ™
He took your wallet?!? Yet again my children embarrass me!

†
Amanda Knox did it.

††
Or maybe not.

†††
No, she really did it.

†††††††††††††
She's white and has sex, people! Stabby, stabby!

\m/
I have heard of a band.

can you give Charles his own blog somewhere else, and then hire PEM to read it and just post links on Slog using this key?

Posted by genevieve on October 11, 2011 at 2:45 PM

Thank you for blogging that, Cienna! It definitely deserves its own post.

Best comment ever.

Perfect.

Who is this PEM?

Posted by Matt from Denver on October 11, 2011 at 3:52 PM

This is a thing of beauty and wonder. I will now daydream about asking PEM to gay-marry me.

This is a very concise summary of the candy-box variety that makes me keep reading Mudede's posts.

Posted by wingedkat on October 11, 2011 at 4:00 PM

|@4 genevieve has a great idea, and is far simpler then an elaborate rating system.

Posted by johnyawl on October 11, 2011 at 4:09 PM

@17 Agreed! All the way from NYC and Occupy Wall Street, this post was fantastic!!

Posted by DannyG on October 11, 2011 at 4:58 PM

Anyone catch that "Space! Rainbows. F*ing magnets, how do they work!" is the best line from this?

It all comes back to Juggalos. Gasp! Is Charles a Juggalo?!

Posted by ohthetrees on October 11, 2011 at 5:07 PM

@20: if by "anyone" you mean "everyone", then, yes, "anyone" caught that.

Dawww, Sienna. =^_^=

Credit should go to whatever unnamed genius made option-t a dagger.

Jesus. *C*ienna, I mean... Cut me some slack, it's past 9 on my coast!

Posted by PEM on October 11, 2011 at 6:18 PM

Please allow me to humbly add this to the mix.

Please replace Charles with PEM.

@21 Thank you for the snarky response to an uncontroversial and good-natured statement. I apologize for only yesterday hearing about what "everyone" already knows. If being snarky and bitchy is the price of admission for being as up to date on the latest memes as you are, I'll pass.

Posted by ohthetrees on October 11, 2011 at 8:20 PM

This gets funnier every time I read it.

Or maybe I'm drunker every time I read it.

Eh.

Damn I must read a lot of Stranger.

Posted by tabski on October 11, 2011 at 11:22 PM

Finally!... Something good came of having Charles in this world.

This is the best thing ever.

This makes me so damn happy! I want to show it to everyone, except that involves trying to describe the special phenomenon of Mudede.

Posted by Marph on October 12, 2011 at 5:07 PM

PEM forgot one:

This building is terrible because it is not a featureless concrete cube. Also, the photo of it would be better if the trees were cut down.
