I finally saw Notorious C.H.O. on Saturday. It wasn't perfect, but how many movies are? Still loved it, but this might just be the Margaret Cho obsession talking, and I'd pay to see her reading a grocery list.
The cartoon at the beginning, on the other hand, was perfect. And an eloquent statement on the sad state of Black-Korean relations. Which it probably set back years.
Meanwhile, I've managed to piss off someone I've never met. Again. This time, the person in question describes himself as a "Grouchy Old Cripple [who] rants from Atlanta GA. and pushes the boundaries of bad taste and political incorrectness."
Again with the political incorrectness. Christ, at least I just admit that I'm easily irritated and foul-mouthed, and leave it at that.
Any road up, Denny Wilson writes at GOCinAtlanta:
One of my readers, Carl, pointed me to a site called uppity-negro. See, I even provided the link. [He did, too. I just didn't feel like copying the source or adding it. - Mgt.] I figgered out Aaron, the owner of the site, either had a sense of humor or an attitude. [Why is this an either/or proposition? - Mgt.] He's got an attitude all right. Randolph, one of my readers, and a source of information, told me he was a real racist MF and engaged in name calling. I won't even mention what he called Andrea Harris. ["elitist Ashkenazi cunt" - Mgt.] Who's she? Click on Speenville on my blogroll. Anyway, I was planning on fisking an article in last Tuesday's Chicago Tribune, but as Carl pointed out, Aaron had already put his own racist spin on things. I found out that all warbloggers are racist bastards. No, he called us 'racist motherfuckers'. What a racist butthead.
Well, he managed to get "racist" in there five times in 129 words. Not great, but not bad.
There was a time I'd be amused at someone calling me "a real racist MF" and "a racist butthead" who "put[s] his own racist spin on things" and also accuses me of engaging in name calling. Lots of things that are funny the first time you hear them lose the amusement value over time.
Anyway, that was today. He also mentioned the site on Friday, but I was doped up on mescaline Midol and must have missed it.
I ain't miss much.
No comments section on his site, naturally, so I'll just have to hope he sees this and decides to drop by. Suppose I could write a short note, but since he didn't have the common courtesy to do so. . .
Wait, common courtesy is political correctness. He proudly claims to push the boundaries of political incorrectness. Of course he didn't write. My bad.
np - "Cannon Song" by Stan Ridgeway, from September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill
Update 8/13: Odd. I know he's here, and from the Friday post it's clear he, like Rachel, wishes to engage in dialogue. I mean, he easily refuted my nonsensical suggestion that Condi Rice is the only black person the warbloggers care for.
Let's see. He left out Colin Powell, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Clarence Thomas, and many others. And I've read a lot of warbloggers. I'm a warblogger. I have detected no dislike of black people. I have detected no racism.
Can't even be arsed to plug "Colin Powell blog" into Google to refute that first one.
I note you listed few enough that you could count them without taking your shoes off. Depending on how many fingers you've a) lost to the combine harvester and b) were born with, you inbred hillbilly pigfucker.
Suppose it saves money at the holidays, only having to get one gift for your mother, sister and aunt.
Wait, you do have all your toes, right? Because some folks'll never lose a toe, but then again some folks'll.
And if you've detected no racism, well, I guess you're an expert at that sort of thing, right? Years of personal experience?
Come on, Denny.
Bring it.
(slight return): Redpac, you're the expert on generating heel heat. Is that going too far? Ain't like I got Bob Mould writing for me or nothing. . .
Off topic. Okay, so I'm an idiot, have I been getting your gender wrong?
Moo hoo ha ha.
Uppity-Negro: Spinning More Heads Than William Peter Blatty.
Is he a woman? Is he a man? Is he something that we'll never understand?
Oh - re: the genius of Atlanta on the Palestinian "problem":
5. Some good old ethnic cleansing. I'm sorry to say this, but the Palestinians are wild animals and with wild animals you have to isolate 'em, cage 'em, or kill 'em.
here but difficult to single out since the pointless motherfucker is so obssessed with cut and paste "fisks" that his posts tend to stretch out over five screenfulls.
"Again with the political incorrectness. Christ, at least I just admit that I'm easily irritated and foul-mouthed, and leave it at that."
Aww Aaron, you're not doing the dance. Didn't you know you're supposed to get all nervous and antsy, you're heart is supposed to skip beats and go into anxiety attacks, you know, like the post-reconstruction era or something?
Say, do you ever get the feeling that most of these people honestly believe they're not transparent? I mean, clear-as-a-bell obvious? It just makes me wonder about the need to waste bandwith introducing themselves as "politically incorrect." Does anybody care?
Oh yes, and please pass the Midol. Thanks!
Oh yes, and here's an old Keyboard magazine article with a brief Stan Ridgeway interview (among others!). My favorite passage is from the intro, regarding a certain prominent choir queen:
"Little Richard's manic antics were beyond the comprehension of the adult world in the Eisenhower era; the fact that white kids listened to black music let alone music played by a black man wearing mascara and suggestively writhing all over a piano keyboard, caused more dinner table anxiety than the prospect of nuclear war."
Like I said somewhere else, it doesn't take much with these people.
I am happy to say I was a subscriber when this issue came out. Hell, I remember the days when there were *harpsichordists* on the cover of Keyboard, but that's for our Dorkier Than Thou files.
I saw Little Richard on Saturday. His bodyguard shaves his head except for 4 dreads at the base of his head tied in two pigtails to either side (is that redundant? Do pigtails by nature fall to either side?)
Now, I know I'm wordsy but damn that was the longest post that I've seen.
And yes, Laura, these people in particular do believe they aren't transparent. They believe they are more than reactionary, they believe they aren't spewing the same drivel (or do I want dribble here? decisions decisions and laziness with regards to opening a dictionary), they believe they are somehow enlightened in their nonsense.
at least that's what I believe they believe.
But its a fair bet considering reading isn't a strong suit. (especially when 3 days after somebody passed along the secret decoder ring this cat is still harping on Rachel's misconceptions...)
and Aaron is a pretty unisex name right?
Didn't Sam Kinison have an attitude AND a sense of hu--
bad example.
Nevermind.
you continue to kick that warblogger ass. i continue to be mightily tickled by it.
Yes, but Sam Kinison yelled a lot. You rarely use all-caps, so yeah, bad comparison.
Jason - the non-rhetorical answer to the rhetorical question I was seeking, excellent. See, I keep trying to tell my therapist it's not just me...
So did Little Richard sing any hymns!? I would be thrilled if he did.
Final thing - i forgot the link to the KB Mag piece. Very worth a look: http://www.synthpunk.org/units/keyboard1.html
I'm taking that as a definite maybe.
You've honestly never encountered the term "genderfuck" before, then?
I dress this way just to keep them at bay
'cause Halloween is everyday
Laura, thanks for the link. You rawk! Think you're the second person I've ever met who's even heard of Stan. . .
perhaps you should work the leg so he can't drop the big leg drop on you.
~rudo!
I would change my name to Farooq, if I could have Fink follow me everywhere to introduce me.
He just makes it sound so impressive.
One of my favorite captions on WW? TV was:
Faarooq Assad:
Likes Vowels
Anyway, I used to sell quite a few Stan Ridgeway records back in the day...ok I sold about 2.
And did you know D-Von Dudley's real name is D-Von Hughes.
And if anyone is in the Chicago area and wants to see someone with an airhorn annoy white trash at a wrestling show come see Pro Championship Wrestling this Sat! I'll be annoying hillbillys with my witty commentary. I could put a link but that would be to easy.
Oh I also forgot to mention. The 3 easiest ways to get heel heat (if your a man anyway) are these:
1) fight a woman, stomp her cunt, hit her with a chair and then pile drive her onto the chair (of course you do lose the match by letting her spear you through a table, I got $30 for this match)
2) Bring toys for the retarded kids one show, next show forget to bring more toys, the boos ensue
3) make David Arquette your world champion
There are many other things, steal people beers while doing a bar show and use them as weapons, but they are just plain obvious.
What would the WCW southern audience think of they knew flaming homo Bob Mould was writing the storylines they were watching?
Boy, you're good at that heel thing, but you can break kayfabe anytime.
Oh, wait, that is your real personality. Never mind.
So if a fight is particularly pathetic, can I chant "WCW! WCW!"?
With my luck, I'd change my name and they'd send ring flowerpot Lilian Garcia to introduce me. Does that woman still have a job? And if so, why?
Damn, Aaron, I was hoping for a chance to use singular "they" and "their" pronouns.
