A quick one question quiz, which all regular readers of Man Boobz should be able to ace.
Question: Over on The Spearhead, commenters have been offering their opinions about the Newtown school shootings. All but one of the following quotes have been taken word for word from the Spearhead, and reflect who or what the quoted commenter blames for the shooting. Can you identify which statement is NOT from a Spearheader?
A) “Guns don’t kill, the culture kills. A culture of out of control children. A culture of child neglect and abuse brought about and driven largely by the feminist philosophy of the fulfillment of women comes before ALL else, including their children, born or unborn. It wasn’t a hard sell because women already have a dark and selfish nature.”
B) “[A] sick person who may have been turned into monster with the help of a selfish and thoughtless woman.”
C) “I wonder to what extent did the shooter’s mom and female teachers have in motivating his actions? what if the shooter is the victim? what if more and more evidence (or strong implications) of the women using their authority as mom and teachers to manipulate a mentally unstable young man keeps coming out? … Of course it’s not actually paranoia if ‘they’ really are out to get you, is it?. And ‘they’ being a feminist police state, well, they really are out to get me!”
D) “Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Actually, in many ways, feminism is Munchausen syndrome by proxy.”
E) “The problem is women running things. Even after all the massacres, the dearies continue to insist the solution is to disarm all the law abiding citizens.”
F) “A Feminized Culture.”
G) “Lifelong sworn conspirators, murder incorporated, organized feminism, the police and judges, the deadly sneak parroting puppet gangsters, using all the gangster deadly Frankenstein-feminist controls—these hand and rope sneak deadly feminazi-gangsters, the judges and the police, trick, trap, rob, wreck, butcher and murder the people to keep them terrorized in in gangster Frankenstein earphone radio slavery from the Communist-feminazi-gangster government and con artists parroting puppet gangster feminist scum.”
BONUS QUESTION: Did anyone on The Spearhead blame the actual killer? Y/N
.
.

ANSWER: A through F are all from The Spearhead. G is the ringer, from a rant by famous paranoid ranter Francis E. Dec, Esq, with the words “feminism” and “feminazi” worked into it here and there to make it sound a little more Spearheadish.
BONUS ANSWER: Surprisingly, yes. This guy.
Oh…
Um…
Sorry… I didn’t realize there was a whole other page and ours of posts after cloudiah noted that xie wanted pancakes…
*hours… with a “h”…
Yum!
Waffles!
(I like pancakes, but I like waffles even better because you can make extra and freeze them to toast later. Sometimes one needs an emergency waffle.)
Did I just wake up to a Doctor Who discussion? 😀
“Freitag do you have it in your power to make sure this year’s Christmas episode doesn’t suck big misogyny balls? It’s the only episode I get to watch with TinyFantastic and I don’t want to have to hold in rolling my eyes again, my optometrist advised against it.”
Jesus Christ on a pogostick was that episode bad (so bad, in fact, that I have yet to show it to my mother, who’s finally managed to catch up on new series and actually asked when this year’s is airing…so yes, it better be good!)
“Never fear! Due to the timezone thing, Kitteh is safely inside the TARDIS and will greet us when we awake on the 22nd.
The Doctor will save us. just as he already did Kitteh.”
Can he save us from Moffat’s writing? Because this never would’ve happened with 10, or his writers.
thenatfantastic — you’re probably gone by now, but enjoy your holiday!
Epically, closest I come to giving a shit about winter holidays is yule…I’ll be celebrating the end of the world (though it’s weird celebrating “half way out of the dark” [yes that’s a Doctor Who quote] when my plants seem to think it’s spring already)
I would SO love to do a northern hemisphere Christmas. I hate it being in summer, always have. I’m very glad to have the chance to do it over t’other side, though. Mr K and I put up our tree and the stockings last night. The stockings are for the kittehs and doggies. Nineteen stockings … it’s a good thing we have a big house.
Blessed Yule, Argenti! I can’t do much tomorrow itself because it’s a workday, but I’m holding a turkey dinner for my sister and a couple sympathetic friends on Saturday.
Tonight I’m letting a red Mother candle burn all night, and then when I get up I’ll light a little gold candle from it for the baby Sun. I’ve never been much for elaborate rituals, but I like performing little symbolic actions.
I’ve looked through almost all of the comments, and while I’ve only posted on here once before…I just feel like posting again. I love this website and while the content is very sad at times, I love people on here and their reaction. It makes me feel better about the world. Also, I’m a tad bit drunk and emotional.But serously, you guys are awesome. keep up the good work.
Karalora — seeing how I’m living with my conservative christian parents, and technically not allowed to light candles, I’ve got a pair of red ones burning while everyone else is asleep. I’m not really one for elaborate rituals either…
By the looks of my red candles, and the length of my movie queue, they’re going to burn out sometime today.
Also, happy the-world-didn’t-end-yet day everyone XD
Ooh, midnight here!
Hi Kristen!
Hi claire! Btw…I hope no one classifies me as one onje. But I am not a troll. Not you lovely ladies and gents, I am off to watch lord of the rings! Actually, one more thing, I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it already, but Les Mis is coming out on theaters, and to lighten the mood a bit more, is anyone going to watch it?
Are you not allowed to light candles because they think you’re going to burn the house down or because candles are somehow Satanic?
Cassandra — the former, not that my father doesn’t have an oil lamp or they don’t use the fireplace or anything…yeah, the rules around here are interesting, to say the least.
Kristen — oooh LoTR, we had a very long derail about that over the summer (which I’ll rerain from starting again, at least until I’ve seen The Hobbit). Enjoy your slightly drunkenness and the movie(s). This was just posted the other night, but I hadn’t seen it before and it’s fitting for the slightly drunk —

Argenti, I wake every morning with these words on my lips. *sobs quietly*
Lighten the mood? With Les Miserables?
I’ve never sat through Les Miserables, but isn’t it basically about someone being persecuted for stealing food because they were hungry? That doesn’t sound very cheerful.
Not really, the guy arrested for stealing bread eventually is redeemed by a man he tried to steal from. Then he eventually becomes mayor of a town… And thats just the prologue.
I love Les Mis, the musical and the book, but it isn’t a cheery romp. The book especially is about betrayal and redemption and love and desperation and idealism and obsession. And just how poor people were and how terrible things got.
kitteh, we’ve never worried about having a hot Xmas, but one of the years my daughter was in London for the big day she rang me at silly o’clock to brag that It Was Snowing! in her backyard. That was the year that we decided we’d do the truly Oz Xmas lunch and have cold seafood.
Well! My eldest in London and my sister’s eldest in Alice Springs rang again and again nagging that we shouldn’t violate their precious family tradition – that they weren’t going to attend anyway. Unfortunately it rained that day, well, it dripped and drizzled. The howls of gloating glee when we got the obligatory family phone calls – it was all down to us abandoning the turkey, ham and 10 vegetables dinner. The weather was a lesson to us not to ‘let the family down’ like that ever again.
We doing holiday weather stories? I’m in New England, were snow on or about on Christmas is nearly a given…it’s supposed to hit the 50s (F) today. I imagine I’ll be lectured on how there’s no proof that global warming is happening, and certainly no way it’s the fault of us humans, should I bother complaining to my family that this is just plain weird. Weather forecast says we’re probably not getting snow…might rain though. Lovely weather!
I’d take a warm day over ice cold rain, even if a summer Christmas sounds weird to me!
As for food, those traditions should really only apply to the people attending, though my brother will riot if there isn’t lasagna. (Yes, that’s right, I said Christmas lasagna, though I do wonder what my cousin’s girlfriend, and her kids, are expecting…this could get interesting…)
Speaking of that cousin, if anyone remembers the teeny tiny abandoned kitteh I posted months ago, here’s what she looks like now — I haz a fierce! (Hard to believe that that’s the same cat who was covered in fleas, half frozen, and had to be bottle fed!)
For comparison, this is the kitteh back in July. That’s one very lucky kitteh!
It’s funny, I just realized that what I miss most about family Christmas dinners from childhood isn’t any of the main attractions, it’s the soup that my mother always made with the turkey bones afterwards. Even in Saudi when it was hot as hell outside I still hovered around in the kitchen waiting for that soup to be ready.
Here is the kitty that Mr C and I rescued from the freeway on-ramp, where she was huddled all frozen and terrified (we circled back to get her and she was too scared to even run away), all grown up.

Cassandra — your cat seems to be all “hey human, this channel’s boring and I can’t work the remote!” — you have a nice fluffy kitteh (who sounds like she’s equally lucky to have been found)
Actually she is Mr C’s kitteh! Which is a good thing since he’s her favorite human. My kitteh is even fluffier, but prefers formalwear (she’s a tuxedo).
The funny thing is that when we first found bored kitty only her tail was fluffy, so she looked like a tabby squirrel. The rest of her fluffed up to match a couple of months later.
KITTY PICS!
Two very lucky kittehs. Are they suitably ungrateful for all the attention these days?
Argenti, I love the contrast between that mouthful of fierce yawn fangs and the pretty pink collar underneath.
We just had Kitteh Evil happening here. Fribs standing in her basket*, eyes squeezed up, and Mads standing in front of the basket, ditto, and paw raised getting ready to make trouble. She ran away after being told the Feet stay on the Floor.
My favourite holiday weather (holiday as in I was on holiday, what youse lot in the US call vacation) was last year, just getting the first flakes of snow in November in Illinois. I haven’t seen snow since I was a little kid, and I’ve never been in a snowfall, at least not on this side of the veil. It was fun photoshopping Mr Kittehslave into the snapshots and doing a matching snow effect over his coat. 🙂
*Actually it’s Maddie’s basket but Fribs pinched it a couple of months ago.
Aw, rescued kitties!
