Umm Chucky… Umm Chucky…

November 15, 2010

Hate to pop your delusion that the Tea Party are a bunch of socons that are all about outlawing abortion and shoving gays back in the closet, but have you seen this?

Tea party groups push GOP to quit culture wars, focus on deficit

Representatives of the loosely organized tea party movement urged GOP leaders in a letter released Monday to abandon their fronts in the culture wars – issues such as gay marriage, school prayer, and abortion – and instead focus their new electoral power on individual liberties and “economic freedoms.”

Oh well. There goes another mime down the Johnson…

    I think you meant “meme” rather than “mime” – unless there is a subtle poetic allusion there that I’m missing.

        He meant meme. Specifically he meant that everyone sane in America is wrong about the meme of the SoCon bias of the teabags.

        However. I rather like this, and with Charles’ sense of humor hopefully entertained, I am going to run with it.

        Charles Johnson – MIME SLAYER!

        As he looked at the bullet riddled, bloodstained, black and white striped corpse and the rictus of pain frozen on the thick white cake painted face, Charles lit a cigar from the still smoking barrel of his Tommy gun and thought – “A mime is a terrible thing to waste.”

        Charles put a gagged mime into a small plexi-glass box on the sidewalk. The mime died in the open and no one noticed.

        Ludwig is on the ball tonight!

        Pudwank has now earned the right to be castigated for every and all spelling and grammatical errors, in addition to his logical fallacies, no matter how minor or insignificant the errors, forevermore.

        Ludwig earned every bit of criticism a long time ago because of his arrogance and condescension.

        Since he himself brought up the subject of errors, I will point out to him that “Snork” is not spelled “Sonrk;” that the possessive plural of “girl” is “girls’” and not “girls’s;” that the proper abbreviation is “aka” and not “AKA;” and that the L and P in the name “My Little Pony” should be capitalized.

        I might also point out that the possessive of a singular noun is always formed by adding an apostrophe + S, regardless of whether the noun itself ends in S. Thus, the proper possessive for “Charles” is “Charles’s.” I will give Loody a pass on this, not because it is such a common error — after all, he has told us many times that he is far above the common herd, so we must hold him to a higher standard — but because there might be some legitimate debate as to whether this particular Charles should be treated as a plural on account of his girth.

        I also count at least 7 punctuation errors.

        It is unfortunately typical of Loody that he should devote a lengthy comment to one typo by Snork while committing over a dozen blunders of his own.

    re: #2 Charles

    The Apple-Apple conflict has been pretty serious for years – the original Macs were prohibited from including a MIDI port because of legal agreements not to impinge on Apple Records’ music business. They must have spent billions on their law firms by now.

    I am certain that the passing of Micheal Jackson made this possible.

    Ludwig it is not Micheal it is Michael

    However I still love you Ludwig and have a very strong man crush on you, even though sometimes you are such a pompous asshole.

    Hey Luddie, it’s not even close to billions, you ass! When you google “apple records lawsuits against apple computers”, you get this.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps_v_Apple_Computer

    In 1978, Apple Corps, the Beatles-founded holding company and owner of their record label, Apple Records, filed a lawsuit against Apple Computer for trademark infringement. The suit was settled in 1981 with an undisclosed amount being paid to Apple Corps. This amount had been estimated to be US$50–US$250 million, but was later revealed to be US$80,000.[1] As a condition of the settlement, Apple Computer agreed not to enter the music business, and Apple Corps agreed not to enter the computer business.

    In 1991, another settlement involving payment of around US$26.5 million to Apple Corps was reached.[4] This time[clarification needed], an Apple employee named Jim Reekes had included a sampled system sound called Chimes to the Macintosh operating system (the sound was later renamed to sosumi, to be read phonetically as “so sue me”). Outlined in the settlement was each company’s respective trademark rights to the term “Apple”. Apple Corps held the right to use Apple on any “creative works whose principal content is music”, while Apple Computer held the right to use Apple on “goods or services…used to reproduce, run, play or otherwise deliver such content”, but not on content distributed on physical media.[5] In other words, Apple Computer agreed that it would not package, sell or distribute physical music materials.

    Looks like the total amount of money spent was less than 30 million dollars, NOT billions.

    EPIC FAIL. Thanks for playing, Luddie.

      I’m beginning to realize that he doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “billion”. It’s like algebra. In the US, it’s 10^9. In the UK, it’s 10^12.

      Law firms are expensive, but not that expensive.

      And this is the first time I’ve ever heard that cock-and-bull story about MIDI. MIDI is an open system. Always was. It was the product of a consortium of instrument manufacturers. Apple computers and Apple records never had any claim to it.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_Instrument_Digital_Interface#History

      That must be one huge asshole to pull so much crap out of. :roll:

      Our law firm was part of the a MAJOR ane well-known intellectual property case, five years ago. We were billing at the rate of about $2 million a month, and this was with teams of lawyers actively engaged in discovery five days a week, on weekends and copious amounts of overtime by the staff. It would have taken over 41 years to bill a billion dollars. And I seriously doubt anyone was billing $2 million a month in the Apple suit, as it merely involved a dispute in trademark.

    And the fact that its the wrong toy is what’s even funnier. Back in the 80′s my younger sister was a fan of a toy line called “Rainbow Brite”, and as a result of our needing to share the VCR I had to watch some of that line’s programs. The picture “My Little Ponytail” uses is of a horse character called “Starlight” and is not in any way part of the “My Little Pony” product line.

    Even in choosing avatars, “snork” produces a FAIL.

    Yes! Dork_Falcon knows all about toys for little girls. :)

    My point was that Ludwig “spotted” the spelling mistake/typo TWO HOURS after the posters here did and laughed.

    Was it corrected?.. no the admins let it stand. We are honest here. No alteration, no memory holes, no banning. (well, one, but proxy servers are cool)
