Illiterate Southern ‘Vampire’ Offers Racial Advice

by Ken Layne  3:15 pm June 27, 2010

'Dear shit-fer-brains ...'Last week your Wonkette posted some news about racism in Tennessee, because it was so shocking and rare and etc. Racism, in the South?! Many days later, this post drained all the way to the Internet’s southern parts, where a proud local man discovered the item in question, maybe on his ex-wife’s cousin’s ‘puter. He is probably upset, although it’s almost impossible to tell.

Subject: lauri apple

not sure where ur deep knowledge of tennessee racial relations come from but i hope its a funny coincidence. if its not then don’t be shy sweetpea. step up and talk to a reel live vampire.

if it ain’t a coincidence. tell ur tipster to “go fuck themselves.”! Yep, i think that is correct.

somebody is playing with you deer wonkettes. or your playing with me. either way. speak and speak now.

What language is this? Sure, it shares many words with American English. But what does it mean? Did they just get the Twilight movies on cable?

Senator Byrd ‘Seriously Ill’
By JANIE LORBER
Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, the longest serving senator in U.S. history, is “seriously ill,” his office announced Sunday afternoon.

Although I remember what Fritz Hollings once said when told of Strom Thurmond’s collapsing on the Senate floor, “He’ll get up. He always does.”

“deer wonkettes”??? Is this place run by furries? Or worse, vampire furries?

chascates June 27, 2010 at 4:53 pm

If Byrd is unable to complete his term, under West Virginia law, Gov. Joe Manchin (D) would appoint his replacement. That person would finish Byrd’s Senate term, which ends in 2012.

“Thank you, Gabby Johnson, for that specimen of authentic frontier gibberish.”

I actually think that “ur tipster” was trying to intimidate you with unwanted, rapey intimacy. You see, he’s trying to be creepier than you, therefore scary.

As I said before, the likelihood is that the epicenter for the incidents will be one family, probably one craniorectal inversion. Best to start going around and putting gang signs and Panther spray paintings up everywhere on the neighboring farm steads, just to return the favor.

Joshua Norton June 27, 2010 at 5:01 pm

I be confused. Which episode of “True Blood” was this?

chascates June 27, 2010 at 5:01 pm

Bad news from Yahoo News:
Liz Cheney tells “Fox News Sunday” that her father is feeling better and hopes to be released on Monday. Cheney’s office says Cheney has received intravenous medication and that he’s “markedly improved.”

Must be Byrd’s blood that turned the tide.

chascates June 27, 2010 at 5:21 pm

Uh-Oh. Nate Silver has the dope on appointing a replacement if, heaven forbid, …you know:

Byrd’s current term expires on January 3, 2013. Under West Virginia state law on handling Senate vacancies, “if the vacancy occurs less than two years and six months before the end of the term, the Governor appoints someone to fill the unexpired term and there is no election”. Otherwise, Manchin would appoint an interim replacement, and an special election would be held in November to determine who held the seat in 2011 and 2012.

In other words, we are within a week of the threshold established by West Virginia law. If a vacancy were to be declared on July 3rd or later, there would not be an election to replace Byrd until 2012. If it were to occur earlier, there could potentially be an election later this year, although there might be some ambiguities arising from precisely when and how the vacancy were declared.

2goats June 27, 2010 at 5:45 pm

Deer Wonkettes, I believe, are an indigenous delicacy in Tennessee, kinda like mountain oysters or ramp in West Virginia. “Someone is playing with your Deer Wonkettes” is, therefore, an extreme insult to which the only dignified, yet manly, response is: “your wife/girlfriend/momma [potentially overlapping categories in the Eastern part of the Volunteer State] likes to suck them.”

For the record, what y’all are seeing there is actually not Redneck.

Oh, it’s run through the Redneck translator, but what you’re seeing is basic “txt spk” from MyFace.com addiction plus the anti-syntactic disease that has stricken an entire generation and a half of people. It is anti-syntactic, not anti-grammatical, because the cell phone life, the IM life, is a life where writing is constantly in the present tense and entirely a reflection of speech, and therefore we have 1.5 generations incapable and uninclined to deferral of meaning into syntactic positions, because that requires planning and delay.

Noun noun noun noun pronoun and acronyms else. They invented “tl;dr” and use it to refer to things like the emergency evacuation card on an airplane.

Take one teenage brain – intelligence * (millenialADHD * MyFace.com * IM)/Redneckery = your scary message.

[re=607415]sati demise[/re]: expansion of the Redneck Socket set…

You’re right, of course. NASCAR surprised “media” ten years ago, and there were all of these bemused articles in newspapers about, “Who knew that our fine, educated, advanced humans could be sympathetic to that disgusting thing?” These newspaper reporters were, needless to say, as stupid as a thunder blasted lichen. They were rewriting the “Who knew that our fine people could fall for Wrestling” article.

Redneck grew, and Redneck expanded. Skoalrebel demonstrates how Redneck can include gothwear, tattoos, home bombing (self), home bombing (other), vampires (esp. with “True Blood”‘s faux Louisiana following on Anne Rice’s faux New Orleans), and this Bubba rap stuff. The American redneck has never been an admirable character, but today he is more filled with self ridicule and loathing than ever, just as he is more common than ever before and more likely to be female than before.

At least they’ve gotten over their John Wayne fetish.
