Let me second Cloudia in the comments, and say that I hope all East Coast Manboobzers (and their loved ones, and everyone else in the area) is safe and sound and braced for Sandy.
East coasters, use the comments below to check in and let us know how you are! The rest of you, discuss!
Captain Walbridge is a man.
The daughter part of me hopes they will be okay, but there is a part of me that kinda wants Mother Nature to teach them a lesson.
SWPL first, daughter second, right?
I won’t hold it against you, though. Liberals always get moody during major disasters because they see the way white people are able to still behave in a civilized fashion, even in times of crisis. Whereas during Katrina, it took about 4 hours before the blacks went totally “Lord of the Flies”.
Rahu, I was watching a live stream from the Weather Channel and they showed the sky lighting up, looking from Battery Park towards the city. They said it was electrical transformers blowing up. Showy, but not apocalyptic.
Stay safe!
@ Otis – eat shit and die.
Yeah I know! They were even bragging afterwards about how they were shooting people like pheasants, those savages.
Oh no wait, that was the white residents of Algiers Point. Though the analogy to “Lord of the Flies” remains apt.
Sentiment seconded.
Er, that was @ Bodsy’s sentiment.
Yep, Otis, every white person who stayed in New Orleans behaved beautifully.

Wow, that photo. It must be doubly difficult for you guys, being familiar with what that photo should normally look like. I hear the storm got downgraded, so things aren’t as bad as they were expecting? I hope so.
Ninja’d by nerdypants! And ninja’d well.
I call for Otis to be on moderation for the night. I have a severe storm induced allergy to the feces of uncastrated male bovine.
NWO too, while we’re at it. This storm is causing real misery for real people.
What’s an SWPL again? I’m not up on my Odious Stankabulary. I’m guessing it’s a Single White Phemale Lawyer.
All in all, he can just step on a lego, though.
I second what Alex said. It’s one thing to be a racist troll in the normal course of things, but tonight’s not the night. Put that Otis fucker on mute.
NWO, you are funny. I study journalism, and my class got together to look through five papers to see how many bylines were by men and how many by women, how many men were quoted in stories and how many women,sorted by section.
Over the five papers 70% of the bylines were by men, despite about 70% of journalists being women. The stories were equally skewed with men being quoted in about 30% more stories than women.
In none of the five papers was a woman’s byline found in the sports section, and in the two papers that had a dedicated business section no women were involved at all – except for the picture of unnamed female underwear models to illustrate the expansion of the Bendon manufacuring plant.
Men will get their hurricane stories told, Owly, don’t you worry about that.
Even a full-blown crisis doesn’t stop some people from being douche-canoes. SHMD >.<
Actually I think maybe we should allow him to post, but have all his comments appear as links to or quotes from feminist and anti-racist sites, so that he tries to go all “blah blah New Orleans, LOTF!” and his comment appears as a quote from Audre Lorde.
Obviously David probably doesn’t have time to do that kind of thing, but it would be funny!
^^ This 😀
@Cassandra: I like that idea. Or we could auto-embed a daily kitten at the bottom of every comment Otis makes. That last effort from him would have been much easier to take if followed by a chaser of squee.
Over the five papers 70% of the bylines were by men, despite about 70% of journalists being women.
More evidence of male superiority.
I’m done for the night.
Actually, I can come up with something better. Whenever he tries to post his usual racist crap, it’ll come out in the form of a kitteh picture. After all, we MBZrs can’t get enough of our kittehs. 🙂
Damn it, nerdypants, you beat me to it 🙁
Oh Otis, you’re one cherry-picking douchbadger, you know that?
Thank fuck.
@popcornculturejunkie: Hey, “great minds” and all that 🙂
Ever notice how male supremacists are actually really lazy and ineffectual? I did, just now. Also always.
I’m not going to count on Odious to leave just yet…I’m sure he’ll come up with some more amazing fuckwittery in a bit. :p
@ nerdypants: You have a point there 😀
