Slightly Mad

Yeah, I stopped blogging in 2008. Bye now.

That's Rich!

Just taking a moment from Pre-Passover panic to reflect how odd it is that in the week that a commenter on a Palestinian blog accused me of being a "Colonialist Occupier" (I think I prefer that to "Dirty Israelian" which was until now my most prized insult) some delightful creature has just left me a comment on my own space expressing pity that I didn't suffocate in what shall be known as Antipasti-gate, claiming that "one less stupid leftist is a good thing". I think we can establish that this is from someone who disagrees with my political standpoint, and has come to his or her own conclusions with regards to my IQ: I, however, will not reciprocate by hypothesizing as to his or her IQ.

Instead, I will mention that I found the perfect antidote to the trailer of "The Simple Life- Interns" (and woe betide anyone who got to this blog through a search for that topic, while we're discussing IQ!) which was Pink's video "Stupid Girl". As if by magic, when my reflex action made me switch channels- in order to prevent projectile vomiting- from Star World to VH1, there it was, in all its genius! I'm too old to be a real Pink fan (blog colour notwithstanding) but I'd like to declare my gratitude for that particular inspiration, and join her in hoping that it has the desired effect on the generations of mini-Paris-wannabees.

Ok that's all for now: We return our head to the inside of the oven to continue the scrub-marathon. You've no idea how much havoc 6 hours of charcoal antipasti can wreak...

    What a charmer and a poet.

    Only take comments to heart if they are smarter or more witty than your own scribbles. Not the case here so ignore this troglodyte.

    One less anonymous commenter happy to post abuse or drivel without leaving any means to reply would be a good thing. They're like fleas on a dog aren't they?

    it means you are being read!
    that's why you are writing a blog in the first place - so that all the retard masses can be entertained, not just your mates. (read that sentence however you like!)

    you shouldn't bother responding to those types of comments though, only encourages them.

    hope you liked the james blunt piss-take!

    happy pesach!

    You a 'colonialist occupier'? No way! That term is what the brits here in the UK refer to those living in the USA!
    How clever is Pink???
    You knopw it used to be that when someone said, I'm going to put my head in the oven", it was a bad thing...

    I like "Dirty Israelian" - sounds like something from Star Trek. Then again "Colonial Occupier" harks back to the Raj.......

    Now I know why I love you PP!

    When I heard Pink on TOTP last week I immediately thought of you!

    BTW have been meaning to ask what you think of the new GnarlsBarkly hit "Crazy"?

    CS- Indeed, anonymous commenters are a lot like fleas on dogs. I'll hark to that imagery in the future if this "poet" ever returns.

    D- Hope you're having a good one, nearly over for you already!

    Kasamba- Yeah, I think anyone who uses that term in this day and age clearly needs their head examining. But no, not in the oven a la S. Plath, no! ;-)

    Lisoosh- Indeed! Very "Next Generation"- I was wondering why it sounded so familiar!

    DH- Careful...

    Nush- I've grown rather fond of that song, surprisingly. Maybe because GalGalatz played it a good ten times through the night while I was finishing my Pesach cleaning!

    Oh my! Not your week, huh? Good for you for taking the high road and not stooping to the level of that useless waste of space who made that dumbass remark!

    I think Citizen Sane's comment says it best.

    Next time you buy an oven, remember this beautiful little word: self-cleaning!

    Self-cleaning ovens?! Blimey. The mind boggles!!
