COLLECTIVE MADNESS
“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."
ReplyDeleteMan Up
I've been out shooting with my daughter.
DeleteWhen the game ends, can you tell me what happened on the last thread. It looks like someone went on a tear...That is if you have the "balls" :-D))
I have no intention of reading, much less responding to, all the Punk's ranting.
Did anyone other than I catch sight of q pregame impersonating Joe Namath in the fancy coat and hat?
ReplyDeleteTossing the coin?
qJoe is always where the action is.
And after the toss he ran off with the coin too.
DeleteGO SEAHAWKS !!
.
ReplyDeleteDoug, go here and see if it works.

If it does, you will likely go through some commercials before seeing the game.
And by the way, so far I am very surprise.
Seattle 15
Denver 0
.
Thanks.
DeleteI am VERY surprise.
.
DeleteYea, well, when you are very surprised or have a keyboard that needs cleaning, mistakes happen.
.
.
DeleteAnd gosh, aren't you the cute little school marm today.
You must be really bored.
.
Dang
DeleteSo far, no stream.
Got to see the safety.
.
ReplyDeleteI have no intention of reading, much less responding to, all the Punk's ranting.
Right.
:)
You couldn't help read it if only to try find something you could come back on.
Back to the game.
.
Nope...just saw 100 "Quirks" and a lot of "no balls"...very diplomatic...
Delete:-D)))
This may be the ticket:
ReplyDeletehttp://superbowl.foxsports.com/
Peyton may stroke out before us old fogies.
DeleteCaroll's gotta be cheating.
DeleteHe studied at USC.
Ugliest "Super" Bowl Yet.
ReplyDeleteSo far I am no very surprise.
ReplyDeleteMiss T and I are sitting pretty.
Sorry you bet your ass on a bunch of losers again, Quirk.
You'll just have to get out there and make it up on street, as you always do.
I predicted a Hawks win Birdbreath, how about you?
DeleteLet Q down easy.
Do feel sorry for Peyton tho.
DeleteNot a fair fight so far.
He needs a real offensive line, not an AFC one.
q always find his own level, let down easy or no.
Delete;)
"World class fraudsters often make poor sports analysts"
DeleteSometimes he drains it down for the rest of us.
DeleteLike today, for instance.
DeleteNFL teams 6-766 since 2001 when trailing by 22+ points in second halves. Broncos 1-22.
DeleteWhy can't we have the option of watching ads and Jimmy Johnson instead of the "Entertainment?"
ReplyDeleteHaven't missed much w/no TV.
I'm following the game on a live blog on ABC. Sports ain't exactly my thing, except maybe Women's Volleyball, which some say is really pornography.
DeleteThat's just sad.
DeleteHow about Beach Volleyball?
...that should be the tits.
It's easy to remember the Superbowl number for any year, because it's also my age.
ReplyDeleteWith 2:58 remaining in the third quarter, the Seattle Seahawks lead, 36-0. It is now officially pathetic.
DeleteMy line had it Seasquawks by 40, Doug.
ReplyDeleteThe way this is going, I may be low by 14 or so.
Man what a shellalackingshocker.
Vegas odds had it nearly even which show what they know.
OK, what I really thought was Seattle might win, but this?
DeleteNo idea at all.
.
ReplyDeleteLordy, what an embarrassment.
I am very, very, very surprised.
But then what do I know about football. I watch the Lions all year.
I switched over to watch re-runs of Black Flags on Starz. Lot of swordplay (of all kinds) and a lot of tits. Beats the Super Bowl that wasn't.
.
This really is the stuporbowl. Denver scores 8 at the end of the third quarter and you could have heard a pin drop.
DeleteSeattle just scored again.
DeleteI doubt Peyton Manning is going to get player of the game......
q always looking for tits.....
Delete.......when he's not looking out for himself. And sometimes combines both outlooks.
Deleteheh
hardeharhar
They're starting the fireworks already.
DeleteThe snipers must have decided q ain't worth the ammo after all.......
DeleteI see q have shed his coat and is sneaking out the emergency vehicles exit early, so as to avoid his new creditors......

Bob and Doug, the Beavis and Butthead of the Blog.
What insight, source, link, argument, whatever, have you had to offer on the subject you intruded upon today.
As far as I can see, ZIP.
Instead, you merely wander around like a couple of Monty Python's
Upperclass Twits of the Year
Hard to take anything you say seriously.
I am very disappointed in you two. When Capote talks, you must sit up and prepare to fetch. All wise men know there is one Truman followed by all the rest.
He ought to be embarrassed, but introspection is not his strong suit. His forte seems to be the throwing of periodic tantrums followed by sulking. I am reminded of Khrushchev’s shoe pounding at the UN.
For your consideration, comments which begin with “shithead”, “shit for brains”, “moron” and “piss ant” usually are not serious. They provide a safe means for abusing others while avoiding a swift trip to the pavement, followed by a slower trip to an orthodontist.
Ah, for the good old days:
"Mr. Hume: -- I've just read your lousy review of Margarets concert. I've come to the conclusion that you are an 'eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay.'"
"It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you're off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work."
"Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beef steak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below! [Westbrook] Pegler, a gutter snipe is a gentleman along side you. I hope you'll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry."
I've always thought q an eight fraud man on four fraud pay, myself, the rest of the income consisting of larceny income and the monetary compassion of his many Marias.
DeleteA man's gotta live.

As I said, not a chance in hell he wouldn't go back and read it all.
Nothing, if not predictable.

What the hell is this:

Some signal of desire to Maria perhaps?

DeleteThe note was actually meant for you, Farmer Bob.
The

I lost the ring and little finger on my left hand in a boating accident.

Yeah, yeah, I remember when you filed that false insurance claim, and the government disability petition too.
DeleteBoth turned down when they unwrapped your hand, which you said would become infected if they did the inspection.
Then you really gave them the dirty finger.
.I.. back at you
;)
I'm glad the Super Bowl is over.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't any kind of exciting game to watch.
Turns out Joe Biden, Miss T and Farmer Bob were right about Iraq all along -
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nationaljournal.com/magazine/turns-out-joe-biden-was-right-about-dividing-iraq-20140130
Place should have been divided up, just like Miss T and I said.
Good article.
Iraq, like Syria, may be dividing up naturally now.
DeleteWe could have saved them a lot of trouble.
