Cooooold!

Sorry, guise. A cold that has been circulating around the department finally got me this weekend. So instead of writing posts this weekend, I was a sneezy snotty mess :(

BUT I would like to thank the 'Occupy ERV' gang for giving me a laugh Sunday morning, as did this SNL skit* (original):

Hell, its no worse than getting dating advice from a middle-aged man who married straight out of college and hasnt dated since well before I was born who strictly and unthinkingly approaches 'dating' from a heteronormative perspective, or a 30-year-old divorcée!

Or the Pope!

Whatever you do, though, dont be yourself. The Fall, Original Sin and such, amirite?? lol.



* video will probably get pulled, which is too bad because ITS SO FUNNY AAAAAH!!

Friday morning while doing some work in my office, I was treated to a discussion by the two hosts of a morning radio talk show. The talk was apparently prompted by a rather odd website, ihateyoungpeople.com, which asks: We want you to create a video of yourself explaining what you hate the most…
Note from ERV-- Like all posts on ERV, I wrote this one the night before (Thurs) and scheduled it for the next day (Fri). But with this post, I wrote it, but then just saved it, intending to completely alter the tone of the post as I was eating breakfast. But then I woke up to an extremely…
BACK!! Went to a wedding this weekend. Actually, was in a wedding this weekend. I had a blast, everything went off without a hitch, and it completely and utterly reinforced my opinion that I want nothing to do with marriage. I just have no emotional or practical need or desire for it. Its not…
I'm off to The City for TED@NYC on Tuesday, and while I might schedule something with the approximate text of my talk for Wednesday morning, more substantial blogging won't resume until Thursday. But I don't want to leave political post as the top thing on the blog, so here, have a cute kid picture…

"increasingly they are . . ."
That's hysterical.

Naturally hairless. Bad workyear.

That song is beautiful. *tears up*

I see another one of my phrases (shameless topical) has finagled its way into a post. =P

If Aratina Cage had been in charge, it'd have been the gang that can't occupy straight.

BUT I would like to thank the 'Occupy ERV' gang for giving me a laugh Sunday morning

I know right?? Just when I think they've reached the depths, and well, they dig a little further, and well, I laugh a little harder!

Just so you know, my plan to have made 'occupyerv' a trend on twitter was not 'entirely' successful. Maybe if I get a humanist chaplain to condemn it, PeeZus will be in quite the pickle and have to argue in favor of #occupyerv, then it'll take off. Only to be immediately followed by my campaign of your response to their attempts: #ervsaysno #no

I was really disappointed that there wasn't a huge batch of #occupyerv tweets. What kind of lazy bastard slactivists can't even be arsed to change their twitter background or use a hashtag. Fuck, do we have to show them how to do EVERYTHING?

Maybe I've just had luck dating but although these are stereotypes I've never had to deal with someone who actually seemed to think this way. Although I apparently have male friends who have dated people who apparently follow a disturbingly large fraction of the song.

I'm sorry, but did Occupy ERV already lose? Oh, thatâs right. The occupation isnât even over yet. In fact, itâs only been a couple days. Does not having the the blog shut down after a couple days count as a loss? Is that what youâre saying? Because if youâre saying that I can assure you that youâre wrong. Why would you make this topic when the occupation is still on? Occupy ERV is still going right now and they have been the best cliques in the Skeptical blogosphere for how many hours now? Theyâre playing one of the worst cliques in the skeptical blogosphere who just happen to have a thread because theyâre feeding off the energy of being lead by ERV. But you know what? They still fucking suck. Occupy ERV one of the best fucking cliques on the internet, they inspired a meme yesterday and would of won the Molly if PZ gave it out often enough. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because youâre going to be embarrassed when Occupy ERV wins and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, ERV just had to ban all the posters taking her side on other blogs, just like the Greg Laden did. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a topic on this board again and Iâm fucking serious. I almost have a feeling youâre the only guy making all these anti-Occupy ERV topics because youâre a faggot hater who doesnât like the group because theyâre good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking groups on the board, like I give a fuck. Itâs so easy to spot out your threads now, youâre a retard. Always doing stupid shit like this. Why donât you try to be a good poster? Just for once? For once in your fucking life try not to make a topic like this. Thatâs just you, youâre always right at getting it wrong. Fuck you. You are nothing.

I'm shocked. No one has said "cunt" yet. Or even mused hypothetically about kicking Talking Prunes in the cunt should they ever decide to get a sex change. Which is epistemically relative to building car bombs. What's the Patriot Act for? Why haven't you been shut down yet? I'm going to go download some cuckolding pornography now.

I've gone undercover in the #occupyhemant movement. They'll never suspect me; I've put on drag, gotten a tacky botched hairdye job, and I make sure to walk into all the meetings drunk. Also, I make sure to say things that are only almost nearly correct.

I'm like a celebrity there. How little they know!

I've even starting selling them shitty merch. They're eating it up!

Wait until I bring up what I'll call the 'escalator incident' at the end of a meaning, kind of in the guise of a throwaway remark. This guy was walking up the down escalator wearing spande, with a potato(e) dropped inside. Just a word to the wise, fellas, don't do that - the potato(e) goes in the front.

Is #occupyhemant still going on? I've been too overwhelmed with boring teacher stuff to check in today.

Also, Matt Penfold still gives me a headache. Oh how I long to go back to the time when I was blissfully ignorant of his existence! (about 12 hours ago)

Matt's very young, and has found a cause where his highlanderism and utterly invincible righteousness is welcome. It feeds his need for smug superiority over the "sheeple"

"Hell, its no worse than getting dating advice from a middle-aged man who married straight out of college and hasnt dated since well before I was born...."

Lord Savior PeeZus on the only acceptable way humans should approach the topic of having sex (it evidently involves many days or even weeks and must ALWAYS be done this way or...you know...misogyny or gender traitor).....

"...You can do things like talk to the other person for a while; go on dates together; share thoughts with one another. I didnât charge up to my wife-to-be one day and say âHey! Wanna have sex?â I actually got to know her quite well, and when our relationship turned sexual, it was by mutual desire."

He probably said something more like "Would you like to talk more over some coffee.?"
I wonder if this account would have been the same if PZ had met his wife to be because he recognized her from a nude calendar she posed for to raise money for a keg party.?

@15 Miranda, In summary, I trolled him for a while and got my posts suspended for a bit. Most if not all of my comments calling him out for being a cocksucker were deleted (one is still "flagged for review") but those of his calling me a piece of shit and others sexists and vile human beings are still there in full glory for all to see... One or more people flagged my comments, and I regrettably and childishly flagged one of his back in retaliation. You know, fault on both sides and all that, it's how these silly feuds go.

I think it's pretty much over now though.
