Juli, they’re just hazing you. There’s actually not a Thursday night Wonkette pajama party that everyone’ll be coming to around midnight, so you don’t have to stay there in case the pizza guy comes early. Good one, though.
WTF? No Obama or McCain, did we drop off the planet?
Actually, it’s not too bad, it’s time for a little break.
mmm… puppets
[re=65805]SayItWithWookies[/re]: What do you mean no cuddle party? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Isn’t Jon Kaplan fuckin’ ALWAYS at Afterwords? Seems to me like he’s on the calendar every other week when I look at it.
Statler and Waldorf are my personal lords and saviors.
“There were only two things wrong with that sketch!” “Yeah, the writing … and the acting!”
it means I’m going to see some white girl lust tomorrow. Hopefully before sf clears out for burning man
[re=65819]Josh Fruhlinger[/re]: “He has a point.”
“Yeah, at the top of his head!”
No pajama party? AW.
Josh, comics. Tomorrow. Or ELSE.
[re=65811]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: [re=65825]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Oh, I shoulda just kept my yap shut. Like that’ll happen.
[re=65834]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Well, who is going to take pictures of me in my nightgown? That’s all I want to know. Oh, and: where are my pants?
WTF are you talking about, Ms Wonkette? Parties?
I have to work this weekend (to make ends meet), take care of my kids (family values) and visit my dad in the hospital (health care).
I hope Mrs. Wonkette chokes on a speared olive in her martini.
Fuck you, elitists.

Screw you, Ms. Elitist Wonkette.
o’:
I have to eat arugula this weekend (to be a dirty elitist), take care of my plants (arugula values) and visit that peak in the Sierra (arugula powered).
I hope the Mrs. chokes on a speared tendon in her KFC.
Screw you, you ignorant fuck.
Eat a dick for me.
BTW most of the folks here pay some kind of housing too, you elitist fuckhead. Eat an extraordinary, unparalleled, throbbing and choke-worthy bag of dicks before shoving yourself back into your own ass to live another day.
And say hi to the wife for me.
[re=65843]o’[/re]: Uh, welcome. Looking forward to your first double post. Oh, wait.
[re=65835]Annie[/re]: Oh, OK, just because you ask so nicely.
[re=65819]Josh Fruhlinger[/re]: I agree with you completely.
“I finally figured out what’s wrong with this show.”
“What?”
“It’s the theatre.”
“What’s wrong with the theatre?”
“The seats…They face the stage!!”
[re=65845]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: i do admire your way with words…the phrase “extraordinary, unparalleled, throbbing and choke-worthy” is particularly noteworthy…
[re=65850]Josh Fruhlinger[/re]: Hey, I put a tip in your G-string. All I ask is a lil sumpsumpin in return.
Seriously, we missed you.
Listcicle? Oh. I thought at first I had read “pickle lickle.”
[re=65845]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: [re=65846]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
WTF are you talking about? You are nothing but reactionary idiots. The double post is a result of Wonkette’s lousy tube system. So fuck yourselves.
To clarify, my SAME-SEX partner and I will be visiting my children and then the intensive care ward that’s currently housing my father in a hospital this week-end.
Is it so beyond your comprehension that my life is REAL, as opposed to the fund-raising political PARTIES that you attend with buttons and banners and Wonketinis??
Get a gd clue.
PS: Every cheap beer you buy this weekend will go directly into Cindy’s purse.
Also,
I guess “arugala” comes across as a funny word for the illiteraté. For future reference, Bibb lettuce has two b’s. That cain’t be right, but be forewarned!
Also, I love eating dick to the point of choking. My partner is way hung, and I get a sore throat, but how is that YOUR business?
Did I mention how you can fuck yourselves for judging me? You are no better than the GOP.
[re=65870]o’[/re]: Okay, I’m guessing you’re Jeff Gannon. Bingo? ‘Cause you have to be about the angriest homosexual this side of Karl Rove, and I figure the only way that could happen is if Karl Rove would not, in fact, fuck you. Which, if you always got picked last for kickball, has got to bring on some bitter flashbacks.
Oh, and when you said “get a gd clue.” What does “gd” stand for?
@o’:
1st: You are a sociopath, a homophobe, as well as a homosexual hypocrite fuck face. The first comment made no sense when compared to the last two. What is it you’re trying to prove?
You fucking Elitist.
Bye Double Tard, see you at the Ron Paul festival!
o’ well… I kindof liked the reference to ‘Wonkette’s lousy tube system’
All us elitist post-ers know that the comments sound better when played through a tube system. Warmer, hopier, and more productive…
for those in the DC area, there is also the last night of the outdoor screenings of James Bond movies in Rosslyn. http://www.rosslynva.org/ros_arts_bond.htm
o’… first, I want to know how you knew I was going to pour those beers in Cindy McCain’s purse, and second, you can shove that entire arugala into your own tube system and rotate if you think we care about what you like to suck. And being on semi-permanent retainer from Dave Vitter does not make him your “partner”, and that sore throat is a bacterial infection from the shit on his whanger – I suggest you go see the specialists at Fort Detrick about that.
[re=65859]anabellum[/re]: I was just going to compliment shorts on that turn of phrase.
[re=65886]Ken Layne[/re]: the ever-vigilant Mr. Layne, banning in the wee hours of the night!
oh man, i am so ready to move back to DC! *whine, whine, whiiiiineeee* Muppets and chili and outdoor Bond… I haven’t been to this “Ben’s” chili place though. I love the Hard Times Cafe chili. who’s with me? I am just a rambling little kid today… please to excusa me
Sorry, gotta dance all weekend. Shed a few tears for me.
Though a banquet of chillidogs sounds ideal, I’m afraid it might cause, as Wolfman Jack memorably said, ‘gas for a fortnight’. Also ‘water ice’ as opposed to ‘carbon dioxide ice’? It’s spookier.
[re=65964]Deepthroat[/re]: Ben’s isn’t just about the half-smokes with chili. Ben’s is an experience (story worth reading):
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/20/AR2008082003383.html?sub=AR
God, I’m glad I don’t live in D.C.
doglessliberal- I actually read up to the part where that great American patriot Bill Cosby was likening the half smokes to a fine wine… thanks
condiments-only- assuming you live in either New York City, Chicago, Philly, or basically anywhere in Cali, i can totally understand what you mean. Me, i’m currently in Harrisburg, PA, soooo… yeah. DC is like fucking Paris compared!
