EMAIL OF THE DAY

But What Does This Even *Mean*?

And what is a 'protip'?The very best kind of reader mail comes from people who find some thing you wrote months ago and assume you will know exactly what has offended them so much when they write to complain. “How dare you say that thing about Hillary Clinton,” or “Here’s a tip — stick your head up a dead man’s arse.” Not helpful, people! We need context. So, two questions for the reader of the following email: was there a particular story that inflamed you so much? And was there anybody in particular you wanted to direct this complaint to?

Also, we have it on good authority that Wonkette’s tits are pretty goddamned fluffy these days.

Subject: protip!

From: Lonely Stoner to tips

you’re all a bunch of weak individuals that rely on the government for safety.

for evolution’s sake i hope the whole lot of liberals are sucked away in a vortex.

stop hanging on wonkette’s floppy tits and be a fucking man.

Maybe this was about all those Trig photos? Oh hell, who knows.

    Mmmm floppy tits…

  2. GDuvall says at 4:32 pm, June 26th, 2009

    A vortex of what? Details, man, details.

  3. Uncle Al says at 4:33 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I’m surprised a lonely stoner would be able to summon so much hate about anything so abstract, whatever it is.

  4. A Better American Than YOU says at 4:34 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Oh, this is how the game is played:
    - You’re all a bunch of weak individuals that rely on the government for safety…at Walmart.
    - For evolution’s sake i hope the whole lot of liberals are sucked away in a vortex…at Walmart.
    - Stop hanging on wonkette’s floppy tits and be a fucking man…at Walmart.

  5. Mild Midwesterner says at 4:35 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Nothin’ wrong with floppy. That’s kind of a compliment where I’m from.

  6. elburrito says at 4:35 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I, for one, love those floppy windsocks, Comrade Wonkette. Keep up the good work.

  7. Considering the vulgarity of the last line, I’m a little disappointed by the “individuals” that starts the letter off. Come on–can’t you do better than that?

  8. bored with gravity says at 4:35 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I’ll be a fucking man as soon as my sex-change operation is over. Also.

  9. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:36 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I’m stumped but I’m willing to try the vortex sucking thing.

  10. magic titty says at 4:36 pm, June 26th, 2009

    How fluffy?

  11. suchsweetthunder says at 4:37 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Liz?

  12. bfstevie says at 4:37 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Could that tip be the handiwork of Dr. William Krystal?

  13. Speed Ball says at 4:37 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Well, he believes in evolution and science… so I don’t think it’s a Trig / Jindall 2012 supporter.

  14. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 4:37 pm, June 26th, 2009

    TITS or GTFO!

  15. nappyduggs says at 4:38 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Obviously written by a Sanford Republican. This is a thinly veiled subliminal message to “get yourself some hanging tits (put on your man chest) and start fucking men.”

    Also talk of “sucking” and “vortex” (man-ginas?) is revelatory.

    Truth ftw.

  16. taylormattd says at 4:38 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Ken Layne’s tits are NOT floppy.

    Those are Jim’s. Jesus christ.

  17. Joshua Norton says at 4:39 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    You may be right about that.

    Yours truly,

  18. MostlyHarmless says at 4:41 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Oh, this is how the game is played:
    - You’re all a bunch of weak individuals that rely on the government for safety…except in bed.
    - For evolution’s sake i hope the whole lot of liberals are sucked away in a vortex…except in bed.
    - Stop hanging on wonkette’s floppy tits and be a fucking man…except in bed.

  19. pedestrian rage says at 4:41 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I didn’t think there could be room to spare on Wonkette’s teats, what with Chuck Grassley being all up in that business.

    How’s THAT for a visual?

  20. thegunner says at 4:42 pm, June 26th, 2009

    its a good thing,he believes in r’Evolution…progress I say,also!!

  21. 51dimes says at 4:42 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Those tits supply gin and I will continue to hang on to them.

  22. IceIceBaby says at 4:42 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Good thing that stud doesn’t depend on the military or police for safety or anything…

  23. el_chupacabra says at 4:42 pm, June 26th, 2009

    for evolution’s sake… i’ve been in the vortex 3 times already. I need OJ. guess i could swing from some tits for a while. if they’re in the shade. whatevs.

  24. MostlyHarmless says at 4:42 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Speed Ball: Looks quite likely to be a paultard who got pissed over Wonkette pissing on The Paul Beast. (or the Daily Paul, or whatever it was.)

  25. wx insider says at 4:44 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Hey… I’m a fucking man… and I’ve had my share of sucking… is he talking about me..????

  26. Extemporanus says at 4:45 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Sounds like Mr. Gibson has soured on your sugar tits. Are you a Jew?

  27. GreatOldOnesParty says at 4:45 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Dear Protip,
    It’s called an “Uppercase Letter.”
    We start sentences with them.
    -Your friends at Wonkette.

  28. SayItWithWookies says at 4:45 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Speaking of weak — I’ll bet y’all get more vitriolic fan mail than that.

  29. jasper f. krone says at 4:45 pm, June 26th, 2009

    The Vortex–is that the same as “the tightening of sphincters”?

  30. yanquilandia says at 4:45 pm, June 26th, 2009

    A Better American Than YOU: I thought the appropriate addition was “in bed after sex”, or am I just thinking about fortune cookie fortunes?

  31. BlueStateLibtard says at 4:46 pm, June 26th, 2009

    “…you’re all a bunch of weak individuals that rely on the government for safety.” Er, exactly. The first job of ANY government is to protect the people who are paying for the government. Why else would we spend millions and billions on hot-air politicians and the military industrial complex? And this is the kind of guy who’s always the first to say that the military is personally PROTECTING your ass, your safety and your freedom.

  32. ogradybt says at 4:46 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Ah, the famous “vortex” theory of evolution is going mainstream! It probably jives with the fossil record a little better than creationism does. Looking forward to the “liberal vortex” in 2010!

  33. Bronkers says at 4:46 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Weakness, floppiness, fluffiness and manliness poll:
    Pope Ken?
    Jim N?
    Sara S?
    Intern Riley?

  34. paintitblack says at 4:50 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I got sucked away in a vortex in Sedona when I was a hippy once! It was like WOW and evolutionary, man, but then my tits got all floppy. How’d that chump know that?

  35. takes12no1 says at 4:50 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I thought wingnuts didn’t believe in evolution?

  36. “for evolution’s sake i hope the whole lot of liberals are sucked away in a vortex. ”

    I love how conservatives only believe in social darwinism and not any of the other mechanics.

  37. Prommie says at 4:52 pm, June 26th, 2009

    This is na Paultard, extreme libertarian version. Next he’ll be off yelling at herd animals that they are weak individuals who rely on the herd for protection, and it will be better for evolution if they would let go of the floppy udders of herd life and go off on their own, as individuals, and fight the lions one on one.

    All forms of mutual cooperation and collectivism apparently being thought weak, evil, and counter-eloveutionary by this set.

    All this usually indicates an angry outcast narcissist who was given a few swirlies in high school and thrown in a few trash cans.

  38. AutomaticPilot says at 4:52 pm, June 26th, 2009

    So, as we evolve, vortexes become more numerous. Naturally.

  39. Hominidx says at 4:54 pm, June 26th, 2009

    As a non-gendered trolling online identity, I am most offended.

  40. the problem child says at 4:54 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Maybe Lonely Stoner thought he was e-mailing a politician?

  41. S.Luggo says at 5:01 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Protip:
    1. Stop living above your parents’ garage.
    2. No more huffing the bathroom cleanser.
    3. Appalachian Trail.

  42. Hey! As a woman with increasingly floppy tits, I resent your male-centric bashing.

  45. Violenza says at 5:06 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Dude, that “Lonely Stoner” song is the biggest POS I have ever heard. Someone please explain it to me, because I don’t fucking get it. Obviously this person has very classy and discriminating taste. Gimme a love song to a rat any day, that’s more my jams.

  46. imissopus says at 5:08 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Hey, he knows the difference between “your” and “you’re,” which is way more than the average Paultard or wingnut. Nominate him for 2012, Republicans! You’re not likely to find anyone smarter.

  47. Atheist Nun says at 5:10 pm, June 26th, 2009

    If he keeps talking like that, I’ll just spin around really fast and morph into Dee Snyder:

    That’ll show ‘em!

  48. iantenna says at 5:14 pm, June 26th, 2009

    so, can i logically infer, that lonely stoner considers themselves a “fucking man?” and in turn note that, to be a “fucking man” is to be a lonely stoner? if this is the case it’s the best news for my self-esteem in ages!

  49. Native of SL UT says at 5:21 pm, June 26th, 2009

    A Better American Than YOU: MostlyHarmless: My turn.
    - You’re all a bunch of weak individuals that rely on the government for safety…except in Argentina.
    - For evolution’s sake i hope the whole lot of liberals are sucked away in a vortex…except in Argentina.
    - Stop hanging on wonkette’s floppy tits and be a fucking man…except in Argentina.
    And for extras credit: marriage is between a man and a women and another from Argentina.

  50. Oldskool says at 5:23 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Maybe he’s thinks of himself as a pro and feels like handing out generic free tips today. Who knows indeed.

  51. slappypaddy says at 5:24 pm, June 26th, 2009

    So, did he name himself Lonely Stoner, or did someone — a friend, mayhap — hang that moniker on him, and either way, does he — it is a he, isn’t it? Sounds like a he — does he know why?

    Anyway, if he wasn’t so lonely or stoned, he’d know that floppy tits are obsolete. It’s all compact tits, digitized tits, and single-suck downloads these days.

  52. Im curious to know what kind of person puts wonkettes tits and Chuckie Grassley in the same sentence. Thanks for the visuals, now I know what its like to be a sex worker in China.

  53. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 5:32 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Dear Wonkette:

    I hate you. Die.

    Love,

    AJSOL: Point well made, but go to hell for ruining my weekend. Some things are best left unsaid.

  55. natteringnabomb says at 5:41 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Evolution is a socialist concept.(survival of the fittest) Stoner must have been referring to intelligently designed tits.

  56. OReillysVibrator says at 5:46 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Check a look at that email address, does it end in alaska.gov?

  57. hobospacejunkie says at 5:46 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Native of SL UT: I dare you to say that to someone who escaped from Argentina, you unbelieveable dickwad. Because I know some of them, and that sort of thing really pisses me the fuck off.

  58. Serious says at 5:47 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I think that is for Nate Silver.

  59. Holding Out for a Hero says at 5:56 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I suggest we introduce this here fella to LIZ Becton because they both obviously need to get laid and how.

  60. AgentSparks says at 5:59 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Bitsy Becton does not appreciate it when men with floppy tits take all sorts of liberties with her name!

  61. A Better American Than YOU: So sorry. Let me just go ahead and ruin your whole damn week then and give you a really disgusting visual….

    Sarah Palin, Wonkette windsocks and Liz Becton. Go ahead, let your imagination run free. That should have you gagging until at least Tuesday.

    That is unpossible!

  64. A Better American Than YOU says at 6:13 pm, June 26th, 2009

    AJSOL: Well at least Linda Tripp (Lizzie Tripp Becton’s older sister) wasn’t included in the collective image.

  65. Makeithurt says at 6:17 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Maybe it’s not the commentators but maybe it’s the fucked up way WONKETTE tries to publish an endless stream of shit. Who the hell cares when somebody writes whatever on this stupid site? What the hell does WONKETTE wonk anyway? Just the same old dumbassed comments from the same old dumbass people.

  66. slappypaddy says at 6:24 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Makeithurt: it doesn’t hurt. try again. harder this time.

    harder, i said. make it hurt.

    What does Wonkette wonk? Wtf is this, Carnap and Heidegger?

  68. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 6:27 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Makeithurt: That’s an unfair characterization. Wonkette doesn’t “try” to publish an endless stream of shit, it succeeds completely.

  69. Guppy06 says at 6:30 pm, June 26th, 2009

    “So, two questions for the reader of the following email”

    I think you mean the writer.

    At any rate, the American people demand to see Wonkette’s floppy tits!

  70. Well if you must know, Wonkette is currentily wonking Levi Johnson in an undisclosed location in Buenos Aires.

  71. Fox n Fiends says at 6:31 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Shep Smith sympathizes with you, wonkette

  72. doxastic says at 6:36 pm, June 26th, 2009

    As a possessor of floppy tits, I don’t see what the gentleman’s problem is.

  73. doxastic says at 6:42 pm, June 26th, 2009

    facehead: Weirdly, that’s pretty much my dissertation.

  74. timmy_the_tooth says at 6:42 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I would love to get sucked away in a vortex.

  75. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 6:52 pm, June 26th, 2009

    @timmy_the_tooth: I wouldn’t. I’ve seen Zardoz, and it doesn’t end well.

  76. Bowdoin says at 6:57 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I think he’s suggesting the original Wonkette, who he just heard about, either (1) have a sex change, or (2) go write for a real man’s magazine.

  77. Bowdoin says at 7:01 pm, June 26th, 2009

    GreatOldOnesParty: Was that Orwell? Said you could flummox a literate revolutionary set just by removing upper case from all typewriters. They would never begin a sentence improperly, so they would never begin a sentence. It’s hard to write blogs without sentences.

    Lonely? Sadly, he ignores the second set of invisible cheetoh Fingerprints on his keyboard.

  81. WhatTheHeck says at 7:25 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Dude, I was sitting in the basement of my mom’s home, and I saw the dryer just spinning man, and I thought, fuck, its all spinning out of control man. Then I remembered I was all Johnny in the basement mixin up the medicine, then I was surfin, man, like surfin the web and Sara was talking to me, dude and then and her tits were gone all Dali on me man.

    Naked Bunny with a Whip: There is no try. There is only poo.

  83. saggyboobedhag says at 7:48 pm, June 26th, 2009

    I’m impressed that he wrote “you’re” instead of the more common and usually incorrect “your.” Good on ya, Lonely Stoner boy.

    I just don’t get why hanging on tits isn’t manly. Sounds like a great sport combining windsurfing and sexual foreplay. And why would you use the verb ‘hang’ for tits while using ’suck’ for vortex? Why not suck on tits and hang out in a vortex? What’s a vortex, anyway

  84. dijetlo says at 8:22 pm, June 26th, 2009

    Makeithurt:

    Who the hell cares when somebody writes whatever on this stupid site?
    The rest of us are just trolling for anonymous sex in public mens rooms or praying for the opportunity to wank it on a jet bound for the Bone Us Areas of the Argentine (preferably in first class where they provide the hand cream and wipeys). Teach us more of this “Caring” thing you’ve invented. It sounds like something Pumas do, did it cause you to grow lady parts? Picsplz

    What the hell does WONKETTE wonk anyway?
    snark: verbal ingenuineness that is brief, subtle, yet quite stabbing. snark is often marked by deep creativity & use of psychological attack. It employs coldbloodedness and is best served unprovoked.

    My Alz-hammered father-in-law just waltzed through with my son’s boxers pulled on over his pajamas and wearing my Vermont baseball cap. Funny, yes, but not vortex/floppy-tit funny.

  87. Valentine Flintheart says at 1:31 am, June 27th, 2009

    If you took the capital “W” in “Wonkette” and drew a couple of nipples on the bottom, wouldn’t that give you kind of a floppy-tits logo? Actually I think they would be more pointy. Depends on the font I guess.

    As for being sucked (away) in a Vortex, I think he might be referring to this, since Volkswagens are well-known hippie “liberal” cars.

  88. Mr Blifil says at 2:02 am, June 27th, 2009

    I’m assuming you’re a lonely stoner because the rest of the stoners think you’re some kind of old douchesak that’s been refilled with used enema water?
