Linguist, you're here! Plus, you've been cop-baiting, too. That dink "chicagocop" is going to be really mad at you, if he ever figures out who you are. Nicely done, BTW.

Anyhow, it's time to... what was it we were supposed to do if we saw you here today?

Oh yeah. I'm supposed to kick your ass. Riiiiiight. Kick the ass of ninja-linguist. It's clearly a trap, and I'm not going to fall for it. Ninja-linguist gets to do whatever she wants to.

Come on. We all know that was you using your ninja powers to give me a final warning... it's the old ninja tradition of "Like a river overflowing its banks, you swiftly obliterate your target's web hangout. In this way, you drive your target to despair before destroying him."

Timothy, at first I thought you were referring to boxing gloves, and I was going to say that I could have no part in any such brutality.

But now I see in another thread that you are referring to the "silken spanking mittens." Hmm.

Actually, yesterday, I just said I would wag my finger sternly and say, "Nah-ah-ah!"

So:

"Nah-ah-ah!"

Jeeves, if this fails to send Ms. linguist back to her office in a flurry of productivity, then you may bring the mittens, if you please.

And the clove oil.

And also, please wheel in the Device.

Ah, but what if there was Waylon Jennings music playing in the background?

The Device always emanates this music while in operation.

"Is Waylon Jennings country?"

I envy you your childlike innocence of the true horrors of the world.

Mission accomplished!

Jeeves, you may put away the silken spanking mitts and the aromatic oils for now. And wheel the Device back into its alcove.

Hmm. Perhaps this was something of a phyrric victory. Oh, well. It was in the cause of Good.

(As long as linguist doesn't find out that the Device can go from Waylon Jennings to Gigi D'Agostino's L'Amour Toujours with the flick of a switch.)

(Freeze-frame image of the General Lee in the middle of jumping over a roadblock)

Now them Grylliade boys, they were gettin' madder'n a country-life staple in a down-home metaphor. But none of this'll matter if Boss Hogg gets hold of the Device. (downtone steel guitar chord)

OH MY GOD Stevo, you are a Gigi D'agostino lover as well? I don't know why, but I could listen to that song for ever. Also, this one rules:

Yeah so it's my secret dream to become a techno king and move to Mallorca.

The Riddle

Silence

Super

Baci & Abbracci

I am really convinced that if a bunch of people just set up a bunch of huge-ass stereos on 18-wheelers and blasted this dude while throwing free psychedelics out the windows, we would see peace in our time.

Ah oops -

The Passion

Internet confession: Actually, I just did a Grylliade/Google search to find out what kind of music linguist actually likes.

I might be more of a Giorgio Moroder/Jan Hammer guy.

Heh, the Riddle video reminds me of the BlaBlaBla video, which was all over German MTV when Mrs pbirmingham and I were on our honeymoon, so it carries huge nostalgia freight.

BTW, it's very weird seeing some German kid talking about "meine Niggas" on German MTV.

Thanks, Jake! PSB are another of my all-time favorites, but I wasn't aware of this song!

Welcome Frank.

To Frank, I offer a belated welcome. And to Dangerman, I offer a completely not-belated welcome!

Welcome to Frank Booth and Dangerman!

I note that my blindness has led me to overlook the arrival of Tom Crick. Welcome Tom!!

Indeed, welcome! We don't get too many newcomers 'round these parts.

May I be the first to welcome.....Cheesechoker! Glad to have you here!

Welcome to Cheesechoker! And Tom Crick! (?)

Indeed!

I note the Innominate One has joined our fold...and posted already!! Welcome! Oddly, though you may be a regular to HnR, you first came to my attention this AM via these lovely quotes:

thanks, gentlemen, but to be honest, I'm not new, I'm old and posting under a new name. I hope David and Ellie don't mind, but I grew tired of my handle.

I'll give you a hint: I know a little bit about organisms.

I should point out that when I visited the site, the only two ads on the right were one for Drew Carey on Reason.TV, and the one for "Nation of Sheep" featuring Flossy the Sheep.

Welcome back, sirrah!

Huh, I thought the sense of humor seemed oddly familiar, now I know why.

Welcome, Ali.

Ali was iih on H&R. He is new to grylliade.

Let the hazing begin. :)

Welcome.

Welcome, Ali!

How did you find us? I'm always curious when we get newcomers, because we don't advertise on H&R much (for fear that DONDEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and the ilk might show up).

You'll get used to it. You needn't worry about those imbeciles. The ban hammer can come down pretty quickly here(edit: for people with a bad track record on H&R). Besides, I can't imagine that trolling a community of 100 or so people would be worth it.

Libertarians for censorship? I'd go with that as long as it keeps Dondero and Ed out.

Randolph-

I live in Boston and drove up to NH yesterday with the hopes that Rand Paul and Barry Goldwater would actually be there. They didn't make it to the bar. Sad. Anyhow, I wanted to go the Liberty Forum today but most likely can't due to other commitments.

Through the local Ron Paul Meetup group, I have numbers for the NH HQ whom I'll call if I can make it to NH on the 8th. I am bogged down with a ton of deadlines the next few weeks. So I am struggling. If I manage to get Tuesday's stuff done tomorrow, I will just call the NH HQ and be at their service.

Are you in NH? Manchester?

If there is a message that I can deliver to the Boston Meetup group let me know and I will gladly forward it. I also have your number and will call you if I can make it on Tuesday. Any specific tasks?

{prim} There is no government censorship at this forum, which is privately and voluntarily owned, operated and funded. Such bannination is and forever shall be perfectly acceptable in Libertopia. {/prim}

This does raise the question of how everybody is using Grylliade. Me, 99% of my time is spent hitting "Recent posts". The only thing I wish is that there were something that showed only threads with new posts instead of simply ordering threads by how recently they were updated. That, and that the stupid 150-post problem were fixed.

Give me the contact information and I will forward it to the Meetup group. Are you familiar with Joe Ureneck? I will call you if I can find the time on Tuesday.

Randolph- Done! Check your email.

Glad you're here, Ali! (I sure hope you're right about Paul vs. Huck in NH.)

Welcome aboard Ali. I guess I'm no longer the sole Arab in the grylliade pack.

Oh, and thanks all for the warm welcome.

Mo. May I ask? Where are you originally (or your prents, or your grand parents, or, though unlikely, your great grand parents) from? I hase seen your posts on H&R and I like'm!

I will provide some help to make it more interesting and to give Dondero the opportunity to say "See, even Ali agrees with me!" But, I really really hope Ron Paul does well.

Well, nice to meet you Mo. I am from Egypt too (Cairo/Alex).

Hmmm ... now somebody has an image that they could download to their hard drive, then upload as their avatar, if they wanted to ...

Just an option.

Also, maybe just a little bit of a stereotype -- sorry about that.

He looks like a cleaned-up version of...Stevo.

Weird.

Well, "Ali from Cairo" has a stronger chin and cheekbones, and a more curved nose, but ...

Shoot, I'm a stereotypical Middle Eastern figure, guys. My aplogies.

As a fan of evil cartoon avatars myself, I suggest this:

I suggest the Baroness from G.I. Joe. I somehow suspect that would please Stevo.

Welcome prolefeed!

Welcome back Mr. Steven Crane!

Thirded!
