Kenosha. probably, but all these weirdos smell like Kyanka's taint at this point.

"enkyampment"

that was the insane Kyle Baker adaptation! everyone looking like Kyle Baker riffing on Chester Gould *except* for Dick Tracy, who looks like pasted-in Xeroxed stills of Warren Beatty's face from SHAMPOO.

I was 20 and in Madison, and the complaint I heard was that it wasn't horny enough -- not from comic book guys, from women disappointed that Madonna didn't smolder through the screen and melt everybody's brains.

before you ask, she's a Wisconsin Kraut. her grandpa came here after the war as a little kid from Austria and directed a family therapy clinic in southeastern Wisconsin. he was a Moose!

Joyce had eye problems! not a fair fight.

John Oliver does an episode on the toilet lady and the chronic dunkerators are hooting and hollering like drunk frat boys getting flashed at a wet T-shirt contest.

except most of the frat boys will eventually be embarrassed about it.

the Maron podcast was recorded and scheduled months ago! that's the wild part.

the people are so addicted to dunking they don't recognize that it shows how badly they are broken

making fun of a hired goon because he isn't wearing the right sort of shoes or lives in a house with a weird gable

you're... reifying class and pretending it's a takedown?

I do think people should be less impressed than they are acting with the dunk on Matt S.; it’s like playing one on one with a pensioner currently attached to a dialysis machine provided you have enough followers to counter the Big Account Trap Card maneuver of initiating a lowbie zergling rush

you're on a thread off my original post, so I'm requesting that you take it down. I'd rather not have it anywhere near my account.

think of it as a termination step in a chain reaction.

that Western accent, pronouncing it "kyamp"

in three hundred years they'll be talking about going champing and the rest of us will try to keep a straight face

the Blank Check podcast's scheduling aura is kind of incredible. it got Marc Maron for today's episode on A SERIOUS MAN, and tomorrow is the last episode of his own podcast.

there's a screenshot of their post from October 10, 11:50 PM floating around.

deleted now, 260 reposts, 159 quotes, 3.3K likes. a spectacularly non-Israeli food, and not accommodating to Jewish dietary laws.

I trust you’ll forgive that I don't repost it.

checking, Guderian's quote is cleaner. but you know what? fuck that guy.

man LaFleur is smarter about getting guys open than anyone but I am getting why Rodgers was so frustrated. there is something too filigreed about his play-calling, and it stifles us.

what did that Kraut say? don't piss on them, shit on them.

I have a somewhat proprietary feeling towards The Onion, because it's where most of my Madison friends ended up, thirty-plus years ago.

the new guy... throws some of them work, while he uses the brand to promote his TikTok gf's run for Congress and platform unfunny bigots like a resurrected Kyanka.

oh I see the *amazingly* anti-Semitic Twitter food meme has reached BlueSky because a lot of you are terrible people who need to be taught manners with a two by four, even if it won't change your wicked hearts.

I can't find the eggnog flavor anywhere, and that stuff was choice.

PS no it's not in Christine's book, though I hope she got the story.

he kept on pushing the SCREAM movies as a model, incidentally. so it was either him or Bob.

anyhow, that was when I first saw how charisma worked as a duelist's weapon, not as a single knockout punch.

happy belated birthday, Todd.

the meeting ended with a much stronger hand for the OGs. they ended up with a nice first-look deal. eventually there would be an Onion movie, and it would be bad, but it would not be *that* movie.

that was Miramax. the guy... I was there as a ride-along, but yeah pretty sure it was Harvey.

my old friend Todd, who could also be incredibly magnetic, parried him point for point. I don't think the movie guy quite expected that. the entertainment press, when there was such a thing, had talked the Onion up a little like yokel idiot savants. (other way around.)

re the charisma debate

a while ago now, I sat in with the old Onion crew at a meeting with a movie guy in Tribeca. loud, middle-aged, passionate, stout. he drew the eye, visibly wielded the charm. he had an assistant get us all refreshments.

he tried to corral the writing staff into his vision. 1/
