Beat Down May 12, 2009

Posted by Sobek in News.
trackback

A long time ago, when I was a wee blogger just knee high to the Llama Butchers, I found a funny blog called Beat Down, or something like that. Basically, the co-bloggers would state who needed a beat down, and the appropriate object to be used in said beat down. I have no idea where that blog is, or whether it still exists. But I do know that humor about savage beatings is inherently funny. So with that in mind:

10. Tim Geithner, with a sock full of untaxed nickles.

9. Dave in Texas, with heterosexuality.

8. Joe Biden, with a ream of other peoples’ resumes.

7. Michael, with pure Lutheran casserole.

6. Wanda Sykes, with a piece of scrap metal from United Flight 175.

5. Skinbad, with a can of caffeine free Coke.

4. George Lucas, with the un-tinkered-with film reel of A New Hope.

3. Harry Reid, with a feather (anything heavier than that and I’m afraid I’d be advocating murder)

2. Nancy Pelosi, with a syringe full of Botox, wrapped in CIA memos showing she knew about waterboarding in 2002.

1. Jean-Pierre Jeunet, with the script for Alien: Resurrection

Who/what did I miss?

re: 1

Don’t even fucking go there, and we won’t dismember you. Slowly.

And at least it was better than Alien3.

2. Megan - May 12, 2009

correction: change “won’t” to “might not, assuming we’ve had our shot of whiskey for the day, and our painkillers, and our joint ache isn’t acting up too badly at this particular moment.”

3. kevlarchick - May 12, 2009

No nice piece of hickory?

6. juandos - May 12, 2009

I think you are thinking of the following blog site, right?

People who deserve a beat down

Personally I love the site… It has a humor that I can identify with…:-)

7. skinbad - May 12, 2009

Rosey O’Donnell’s vagina, with 1,000 gallons of flaming jet fuel.

8. Dave in Texas - May 12, 2009

Hah!

Sobek, with the Thummin and a mushy banana.

9. Megan - May 12, 2009

Michael said: “Megan? *runs like the wind*”

Indeed. And I wanted to – um… [trails off, watching the dustclouds] Dude. I wasn’t going to hurt you. Well, not *yet.*

10. geoff - May 12, 2009

1000 gallons of flaming jet fuel, with unmeltable steel girders.

11. lauraw - May 12, 2009

If that’s OUR Megan, it’s freaky that she picks now to show up. I was just thinking of her last night, for the first time in a long time.

12. Vmaximus - May 12, 2009

ooh ooh I want to do tiny tim geithner give me a few hours and I will give it my best shot

Yes Laura, it’s your Megan.

Hi Brew.

23. Retired Geezer - May 12, 2009

Megan!
I thought of her yesterday when I saw an Idaho vanity license plate, that said:

BUTTERS

I shit you not.

24. BrewFan - May 12, 2009

wiserbud, with Rosetta’s purse.

25. Retired Geezer - May 12, 2009

BTW, we’re still enjoying that homemade syrup you gave us.

26. Retired Geezer - May 12, 2009

27. Megan - May 12, 2009

[reading Ace's comments list] …is it just us, or has there been some kind of explosion in the online lesbian population recently?

BrewFan, with a bucket of stink bait, a block of moldy cheddar and a copy of Brett Favre’s imminent contract with the Vikings.

30. skinbad - May 12, 2009

Then you’re consuming it too slowly. I’m glad you like it.

31. skinbad - May 12, 2009

Skinbad, with an HTML for dummies book.

32. lauraw - May 12, 2009

Megan, that may have to do with krakatoa’s latest overnight post.

How’s your health these days?

33. Megan - May 12, 2009

Crap. Yours?

34. lauraw - May 12, 2009

I feel alright, I guess, but I never go to the doctor, so who knows. There could be a gigantic tumor eating up my spleen as we type.

Are you neglecting your dietary requirements?

35. Megan - May 12, 2009

No, we have an IV tube plugged into our right bicep as we type. You?

36. Retired Geezer - May 12, 2009

Dave in Texas with Lauraw’s hump.

37. lauraw - May 12, 2009

Mmmm, sounds delicious. I bet that really sticks to your ribs.

I just toasted and inhaled 1/2 a No. 9 from D’Angelo’s because I’m tired of waiting for hubby to bring me ‘breakfast.’ At 11 am.

I don’t understand how one goes several hours without dying of malnutrition. Must be a metabolism thing.

38. Megan - May 12, 2009

I want a fucking steak.

39. kevlarchick - May 12, 2009

Geezer with some deflated Vegas showgirls funbags.

40. Dave in Texas - May 12, 2009

#36 oh darn. Rough me up.

Hi Megan.

Pony, with a Berkline Stratolounger.

41. lauraw - May 12, 2009

Know what you mean, been craving a good steak lately myself. Finally had a decent ribeye last night at a good local steakhouse.

42. Dave in Texas - May 12, 2009

And Michael, with the fuckin Wittenberg Door.

43. Megan - May 12, 2009

I really miss the days when only white male landowners were allowed to vote.

44. lauraw - May 12, 2009

#36…yeah…I don’t think Geez is clear on the ironic/ poetic justice angle we’re going for here.
Dave is not an anti-humpite.

45. Michael - May 12, 2009

I really miss the days when only white male landowners were allowed to vote.

Me too. Women were happier when they were chattel.

*looks around*

Oops.

*runs like the wind*

46. Sobek - May 12, 2009

LauraW, with a shipping box full of live emus that I needed to arrive in Dushanbe early yesterday morning.

47. Megan - May 12, 2009

Michael, on most days, most women deserve to be nothing more.

48. Megan - May 12, 2009

Because women are stupid.

49. Michael - May 12, 2009

Oh Megan, you are trying to draw me out.

I’m not going to fall for it.

50. Retired Geezer - May 12, 2009

I don’t think Geez is clear on the ironic/ poetic justice angle we’re going for here.

*Geezer gives it another try:

Mrs. Peel with a J.K. Rowling autographed copy of Deathly Hallows weighted with a dodecahedron die purchased at a Renaissance Faire by a Swing Dance teacher who owns a Jeep Cherokee.

*Geezer sits back exhausted.

51. Megan - May 12, 2009

Draw you out of what? You’ve always been a weak-kneed pussy-footing “women’s-rights” advocate everywhere you went, Michael. Everyone knows it. No one would ever believe that you had an inner caveman lurking beneath the surface.

We’ll bet you eat “organic tofu” and think holding the door for a date is a perpetuation of slavery.

52. lauraw - May 12, 2009

Geez, I’d really like to defend you Michael but I think she’s got you pegged.

Hopefully you’re into that.

53. BrewFan - May 12, 2009

Michael, with Megan.

54. Michael - May 12, 2009

55. Cathy - May 12, 2009

Oh Megan, you are trying to draw me out. I’m not going to fall for it.

Good idea, Honey. Consider who is at home with all weapons and ammo and 24-hour locksmiths on the speed-dial.

Great supper planned. Come home hungry, Sweetie-love.

56. Edward Von Bear - May 12, 2009

Crocs?

Dammit!

57. Edward Von Bear - May 12, 2009

Musli, with some poor Urdu grammar.

58. Megan - May 12, 2009

Yes, Cathy.

59. Michael - May 12, 2009

I want to know how the heck we got 22 hits from Estonia already.

60. Megan - May 12, 2009

Entirely coincidentally, we just got 22 emails from girls asking me to buy them.

61. geoff - May 12, 2009

112. Megan - May 12, 2009

sobek is a dumbass living on the fumes of Michael’s farts. And Michael himself isn’t that funny either. You would not be reading this blog if it weren’t for Ace.

Live with it, children.

113. Tushar - May 12, 2009

>>Megan-With a douche.

Wow, what’s up with Megan? Is she still pissed her daddy didn’t win the election?

120. Tushar - May 12, 2009

>>Tushar-With a slurpee

Ha! A repeat.

Well, Skinbad said Slushee. So yours is totally original.

121. Megan - May 12, 2009

* “Rich” – don’t you dare address us unless we know who the fuck you’re supposed to be.

Unexpectedly, Uniball made us laugh.

129. Tushar - May 12, 2009

>>Tushar-With unreasonable expectations from his parents to become a doctor.

Fack! That is hitting below the belt, Uni.

130. this buddy of mine - May 12, 2009

Tushar- with a bar of soap

131. Tushar - May 12, 2009

Uni,

my expectation is that one of my kids will become a US Marine. The other most probably will become a thief.

132. Megan - May 12, 2009

Really, Uniball wins the thread.

133. Edward Von Bear - May 12, 2009

Tush:

So one of your little ones has a political ambition?

134. Tushar - May 12, 2009

TBoM – with stale bathwater.

135. Rich - May 12, 2009

““Rich” – don’t you dare address us unless we know who the fuck you’re supposed to be.”

Well I was supposed to be a pretty princess but that didn’t quite workout as planned 39 years ago.

136. Uniball - May 12, 2009

Tushar,
Those sound like reasonable expectations.

137. Tushar - May 12, 2009

>>So one of your little ones has a political ambition?

Eddie, he will be a thief. No son of mine will sink so low to become a politician.

138. this buddy of mine - May 12, 2009

Tushar – with a red ink stamp pad

139. Edward Von Bear - May 12, 2009

Tush:

True.

TBoM – with a TRO

141. Megan - May 12, 2009

#135

Rich – okay, you made us laugh. You may live. :) But, question: how long exactly did it take you to figure out you weren’t a pretty princess?

142. Edward Von Bear - May 12, 2009

^When Rosietta turned him down

143. Megan - May 12, 2009

ps. Answer in inches and we *shall* kill you. By inches.

144. PattyAnn - May 12, 2009

“how long exactly did it take you to figure out you weren’t a pretty princess?”

Megan, he’s still conflicted. Somedays, he thinks he’s Rosetta.

145. Rich - May 12, 2009

When Barbie started to make me feel dirty…in a good way.

146. this buddy of mine - May 12, 2009

Uniball – with his stack of Big Black Ass magazines

147. Megan - May 12, 2009

wait wait wait

Rich is Rosetta?

148. PattyAnn - May 12, 2009

No, Megan, I was just insulting Rich :)

149. Tushar - May 12, 2009

>>Somedays, he thinks he’s Rosetta.

DON’T TALK SHIT ABOUT ROSETTA!!!

150. xbradtc - May 12, 2009

Can we talk shit TO Rosetta still?

151. Edward Von Bear - May 12, 2009

^why not? What else are we going to do?

152. Tushar - May 12, 2009

>>Can we talk shit TO Rosetta still?

Oh, that you can do.

Rosetta, I will hit you with a bag of used tampons, you man-lesbian!

153. Megan - May 12, 2009

Shit, someone needs to catch us up. Last we heard Rosetta was a mostly like-minded heterosexual male.

154. Blackiswhite, Imperial Consigliere - May 12, 2009

Mesablue – with a 10 pound bag of bacon.

Wait. He will love that.

Add in an insane redhead swinging it. No…Wait!

155. xbradtc - May 12, 2009

Megan,

Rosetta (Rosie to his friends) picked up the moniker of “man-lesbian” because folks who’d never heard of the Rosetta Stone thought Rosetta was a woman’s name. So we kid him about his gender and sexuality.

156. Megan - May 12, 2009

ah, we used to do that ourselves.

157. Blackiswhite, Imperial Consigliere - May 12, 2009

You would not be reading this blog if it weren’t for Ace.

Live with it, children.

Someone is woefully misinformed. I wouldn’t be reading this blog if we Hostages didn’t like picking the noses of the Bystanders, and then making them eat their boogers, between their bouts of hitting themselves.

Never been a big fan of Ace’s, although I do read it from time to time.

158. Blackiswhite, Imperial Consigliere - May 12, 2009

And who in the name of Sox’s removed sex organs are you to be using the royal we??? Last time I looked, that was reserved for Emperor Misha I.

“Someone is woefully misinformed. I wouldn’t be reading this blog if we Hostages didn’t like picking the noses of the Bystanders, and then making them eat their boogers, between their bouts of hitting themselves.”

Well, um. If you enjoy that sort of thing, we guess you have our permission to knock yourself out.

Just leave Laura alone.

The rest are yours to do with as you please.

160. this buddy of mine - May 12, 2009

Nobody reads this blog

No way! I have first dibs on her hump.

The theme song to Laura’s vag

164. Vmaximus - May 12, 2009

So here I went and wrote up a rosettish beat down for TG in my spare time at work and it turns into a Hostage beatdown thread. Damn and it looked like it was fun.

Why cannot I screw off at work?

165. Tushar - May 12, 2009

>>We’re the princess of the Vanishing Throne.

Somebody stole the toilet in my out-house too.
I don’t call myself a prince.

166. this buddy of mine - May 12, 2009

Vanishing Throne

I thought it was because it disappears under all the fat rolls

167. Edward Von Bear - May 12, 2009
168. Blackiswhite, Imperial Consigliere - May 12, 2009

Tush, I don’t want to alarm you, but you really are starting to take on Hostage-like characteristics. Pointed observations, random explosions of teh funneh, and a joyful eagerness to kick TBOM in the junk whenever the mood strikes you.

Before you know it, you’ll be laughing inappropriately in awkward moments.

169. Megan - May 12, 2009

Would you prefer “The Throne of Glass and (something like) Steel?” Though that hasn’t been used since over a thousand years before Christ.

170. Edward Von Bear - May 12, 2009

^That’s what I heard when I called my credit card company to complain.

171. Megan - May 12, 2009

Hmm-mmm.

172. Michael - May 12, 2009

Finally we get a visitor from Bulgaria. I can close the stupid widget now.

173. this buddy of mine - May 12, 2009

Careful Tush…BiW looks like he is trying to recruit you into his Court of the Disappearing Nutsack

174. Tushar - May 12, 2009

BiW, I have been running with the Hostages & IB crowd waaay longer than you think. I have known Rosie, DiT, Wiser, Michael, Laura, PJM, PA etc for almost 4 years.

175. Michael - May 12, 2009

I admit, Megan, that I checked, and both glass and steel had been invented a thousand years before Christ.

Damn you!

176. Megan - May 12, 2009

Huh. We didn’t know that. Thanks Michael.

It’s true. I’ve bought more Slurpees from Tushar than I can remember.

183. Tushar - May 12, 2009

You drove away Sohos! This means WAR!!!!!

I am going with a box of Total. And some Salt.

Oops. My bad

185. Blackiswhite, Imperial Consigliere - May 12, 2009

Hurting SoHoS?

Unacceptable.

186. Edward Von Bear - May 12, 2009

FUCK SALT@!

187. sohos - May 12, 2009

Not hurt just going to go do more PT be back soon!

188. Michael - May 12, 2009

It’s fun to imagine Glenn Reynolds reading this thread and thinking, “Jesus, I actually linked these retards!”

189. Tushar - May 12, 2009

“Jesus, I actually linked these retards!”

Ha ha ha ha!

190. composmentis - May 12, 2009

Lime flavored Slurpee with vodka = magnificent brain freeze.

Do you all remember when Meegan couldn’t pronounce the name “Barry?”

191. BrewFan - May 12, 2009

It’s fun to imagine Glenn Reynolds reading this thread and thinking, “Jesus, I actually linked these retards!”

BrewFan had the same thought. hahaha! Welcome Powerline blog readers! hahaha!

192. Rosetta - May 12, 2009

The next person that comments on this thread has to clean up after the BrewFan-composmentis lemon party.

193. Rosetta - May 12, 2009

Hello, everyone! What’s new?

194. Rosetta - May 12, 2009

Hahahahaha. Someone’s a dick. AND DON’T TALK SHIT ABOUT MAN-LESBIANS!!!

Happy Birthday, Michael.

195. Dave in Texas - May 12, 2009

Mesablue with a 1973 Hammond B3 and a Mesa Boogie Mark I.

He won’t walk away from that shit.

196. Rich - May 12, 2009

crap. It’s Michael’s birfday. Good thing I already made a birfday cake for him.

Megan, check your gmail addy??

198. TattooedIntellectual - May 12, 2009

Holy moly, almost 200 comments on an IB thread. Who the hell divided by zero and ended the world?

199. TattooedIntellectual - May 12, 2009

Why wasn’t I notified?

200. TattooedIntellectual - May 12, 2009

And 200. I’m spent.

201. BrewFan - May 12, 2009

Was it good for you?

202. Sobek - May 12, 2009

“Who the hell divided by zero and ended the world?”

Not me, but I did just get a hyperbola to touch the asymptote. (Note: not a euphemism)

203. TattooedIntellectual - May 12, 2009

but I did just get a hyperbola to touch the asymptote.

Ok, my calculus is rusty (as in 40 yr old silo rusty), but I’m pretty sure that’s not s’posed to happen.

Brew it was too short. But my momma said I should get used to that ;)

204. Sobek - May 12, 2009

“…but I’m pretty sure that’s not s’posed to happen.”

It just takes some patience, is all. Most mathematicians just give up too easily.

205. TattooedIntellectual - May 12, 2009

Hahahaha Sobek. You know what that reminded me of? My mother w/ a jigsaw puzzle. Have you ever watched someone try each piece in every available spot? That’s her.

206. Michael - May 12, 2009

How the hell do Guam and Puerto Rico qualify as countries?

Folks, I hate to say this, but two of those flags in the sidebar are bogus. In the last two days, we’ve only really racked up 87 actual countries.

207. daveintexas - May 12, 2009

but two of those flags in the sidebar are bogus a cry for help.

FTFY

208. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Wow. When was the last time a thread got more than 25 comments here?

Congrats, Sobek. You may just be responsible for bringing this place back to life.

You should be very proud of yourself.

209. composmentis - May 12, 2009

Sobek is teh IB viagra.

210. composmentis - May 12, 2009

I gots teh spam bucket blues. Somebody help a brother out.

211. daveintexas - May 12, 2009

Oh yeah viagra wouldn’t trip a wire.

Noooooo.

212. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

If Sobek is Viagara, doesn’t that make IB……

Nah, forget it. Never mind.

213. Sobek - May 12, 2009

Now that I think about it, this place is a little more throbbing than usual.

Wiser, I did better than a hundred comments on my “Least Cited Judicial Opinions” and “Southern Mississippi Cities that Least Rhyme With the Word ‘Snort’” posts, too.

That would be last December.

214. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

That would be last December.

And yet, everyone calls this Michael’s blog.

Such an injustice….

215. Michael - May 12, 2009

Heck, we still got a 2,000-comment thread in the archives we can go back and read any time.

216. composmentis - May 12, 2009

Fanx, Mr. inTexas.

Why is wiser always trying to pick a fight?

Abused at a tender age by a tranny nanny?

217. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Why is wiser always trying to pick a fight?

What fight? I was congratulating Sobek on a fine, interesting and fun thread. I am impressed with his work here.

What’s wrong with complimenting a mna on a job well done?

218. daveintexas - May 12, 2009

He think I H8 him.

I do not.

I plan to kill him with mercy.

219. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

I plan to kill him with mercy.

You so good to me, DiT.

220. daveintexas - May 12, 2009

Paperback Writer.

Back when McCartney needed dental care.

221. Mrs. BrewFan - May 12, 2009

Me so horny

222. composmentis - May 12, 2009

DiT is good to everyone. He love you long time.

223. BrewFan - May 12, 2009

Be right there, honey

224. Michael - May 12, 2009

Sure was fun to trash Dave’s thread at AOSHQ last night.

225. daveintexas - May 12, 2009

Trash? That was sweet of y’all.

Especially you Michael. Thank you.

226. composmentis - May 12, 2009

Dave is such a sweetheart. I can’t figure why you all enjoy being so mean to him.

227. Michael - May 12, 2009

And Dave, mock me if you will, but the video I just posted actually works. Paperback Writer does not.

228. Michael - May 12, 2009

Trash? That was sweet of y’all.

Especially you Michael. Thank you.

Fuck you, Dave. Don’t you try that “killing with kindness” crap with me. I see right through your bullshit, all the time. Yes I do.

229. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

You will notice that I did not participate in the trashing of Dave’s thread.

I, personally, would never want to destroy or deface the creative efforts required to make a humorous, yet informative post, such as Dave is capable of providing.

230. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Michael, why are you trying to start a fight with Dave?

He seems like a decent person.

231. Michael - May 12, 2009

Fuck you too, Wiserbud. You can’t talk to my friend Dave like that and get away with it.

232. BrewFan - May 12, 2009

Nor did I trash Dave’s thread. Even if I had known about the trashing I wouldn’t have participated. Probably.

233. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Well, it is quite obvious that this is not the friendly, inviting blog that I was led to believe it was.

While you have not offended me, Michael, you have certainly disappointed me with this vitriolic outburst and your obnoxiously rude behavior.

234. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Is Mrs. Brewfan still waiting?

Tell her I’ll be there in June.

235. xbradtc - May 12, 2009

Eh, the flash mob at DinT’s post was fun. Until Michael came in to kill the funneh.

236. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Until Michael came in to kill the funneh.

eh. It’s what he does……

237. daveintexas - May 12, 2009

All this attention is very humbling.

Thank you.

238. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

No, No! No need to be humble, Dave.

You deserve this.

239. daveintexas - May 12, 2009

You guys are awesome.

240. Michael - May 12, 2009

*smoke jetting out of both ears*

Will you frickin’ pansies please go somewhere else?

241. BrewFan - May 12, 2009

Tell her I’ll be there in June.

email me with dates so we can get together for a beer or three.

242. Retired Geezer - May 12, 2009

No wonder the IB Wimmins like Dave better than Michael.

*Makes mental note to work on humility.

243. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Ignore him, Dave.

He’s just jealous of your brilliantly funny observations on everyday life, which is only surpassed by your ability to express them in creatively hilarious ways.

244. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

email me with dates so we can get together for a beer or three.

will do, guaranteed.

And wiserbud’s plan to individually meet each and every Hostage, IBer and moron continues apace.

245. pajama momma - May 12, 2009

Dave’s one sexy bitch. When I visit Texas, Dave’s house is my first stop.

246. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Well, except Michael.

For some reason, I’ve never had the desire to actually meet Michael.

247. composmentis - May 12, 2009

Dave does bring some class to this joint, doesn’t he? Why, if it weren’t for him, this place would be severly lacking in culture and sophistication.

248. composmentis - May 12, 2009

severly? Me no likey laptopses. My heavy hands are much better suited to a titanium, full sized keyboard.

249. Michael - May 12, 2009

I’m going to delete this site right now. Yes I am. Don’t you push me any more. I have my finger on the button.

*looks around*

Hey Wickedpinto, where is the button?

250. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Dave does bring some class to this joint, doesn’t he?

Whenever I think “Dave in Texas,” the first word that comes to mind is “class.”

He just oozes class and weeps sophistication from every huge pore on his body, don’t he?

251. BrewFan - May 12, 2009

My heavy hands are much better suited to a titanium, full sized keyboard cock.*

FTFY.

*Not as funny as Dave could come up with, but not bad

252. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

I have my finger on the button.

Ummmmm, Michael?

that’s the wrong button…..

253. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

*Not as funny as Dave could come up with, but not bad

heh. I can only imagine what Dave would have done with that one.

I just bet it would have made me cry with laughter.

254. Michael - May 12, 2009

That damn button is around here somewhere.

*checking WordPress FAQs*

255. wiserbud - May 12, 2009

Well, good night to all of you brilliantly funny, deeply charming and incredibly interesting people.

And you too, Michael.

256. daveintexas - May 12, 2009

Hey PJM, you are always welcome here.

And I can cook burgers and dogs faster than your kids can eat them.

I think.

257. Russ from Winterset - May 12, 2009

256 comments without a boost from The Pinto? That’s impressive. Now watch him come in and drag it past 1000.

oh yeah, and Geezer….with a feral cat.

258. Michael - May 12, 2009

Hey Russ, good to hear from you!

259. Michael - May 12, 2009

Now watch him come in and drag it past 1000.

Um, that’s not happening any more.

260. xbradtc - May 12, 2009

Whenever I think “Dave in Texas,” the first word that comes to mind is “class.”

The class is “special ed” but it’s still class.

261. geoff - May 12, 2009

It’s fun to imagine Glenn Reynolds reading this thread and thinking, “Jesus, I actually linked these retards!”

[chokes back a sob]

262. Vmaximus - May 12, 2009

O.T. Question I asked at H2 and they ignored me, Go figure.
I finished 6 Sci-Fi books. I am forcing myself to read 2 of the following
The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes
Liberty and Tyranny, Mark Levin
Joker One, Donovan Campbell
The 5000 year leap, W. Skousen

Any thoughts?

263. geoff - May 12, 2009

O.T. Question I asked at H2 and they ignored me, Go figure.

I was going to say something snarky about your misguided expectations on the thread at H2, but then stayed my hand.

I haven’t read any of them, but they sound interesting. You should do book reviews – maybe at Mrs. Peel’s.

264. TGSG - May 12, 2009

I haven’t read any of them Vmax, so, as with my non-response over “there”, sorry.

265. Vmaximus - May 12, 2009

I did ask at Peel’s Geoff, I think she read Forgotten man.
I bought them all and they are sitting on my coffee table, so I will read them all but before I buy more fiction, I try to work in one or 2 of the classics or something that is edifying or scholastic.

I am tending to Joker one and liberty and tyranny, then I will order more fiction.

No Prob TGSG, There are a surprising number of book readers over at H2, If they were not in party mode I would get good advice.

266. BrewFan - May 13, 2009

vmax, I am reading Liberty and Tyranny. It is quite good. HTH.

267. Michael - May 13, 2009

Cathy is reading Liberty and Tyranny, and she thinks it is great. She’s going to make me read it.

268. Edward Von Bear - May 13, 2009

I’m reading a biography of William Tecumseh Sherman.

It seems he had some emotional problems.

269. Russ from Winterset - May 13, 2009

I’m working on a book about Stonewall Jackson, and how Lee’s failure to follow Jackson’s lead on strategic issues doomed the Confederacy to failure. Good read so far. Plus I’ve got the usual 3 or 4 other books/short story collections that I’m working my way through as well. Not to mention all the time spent poring over parts manuals for the 7200 flex-fold planter, the 724 cultivator and the 568 big round hay baler.

270. Blackiswhite, Imperial Consigliere - May 13, 2009

I’m reading a biography of William Tecumseh Sherman.

It seems he had some emotional problems.

Yeah, but I’m sure blazing a trail across the South helped.

I’m reading a book on Madison and Hamilton and their role in bringing us the document D.C. loves to ignore…The Constitution.
