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.
Fluffy tuxedos, evil kittehs, and snow…remind me how the trolls manage to last more than 5 min? (Oh right, they’re too stupid to know wtf the comments are about)
“Are they suitably ungrateful for all the attention these days?” — not really, but Smoky’s still a kitten (and lives with 4 kids 9~15 — my cousin and his GF have 2 each)
In other species, holy shit that cory got huge! The oldest of my baby cory’s are only ~4 months old, and one that’s bigger than the adults just swam by….guess that one’s a girl (the females are larger than the males) And I see a clown loach tail sticking out of a hiding tunnel, someone failed at hiding 🙂
Honestly, I don’t get my fish sometimes, it’s a 55 gallon tank and a good half of the cories are piled into one 4″ square patch. I guess that’s what social bottom feeders do though! (Yeah I’m not the kitteh’s unpaid help, I’m the fishies unpaid help, and on that note, I should probably go feed ALL THE TANKS [I have 3, i the snail tank counts XD ])
The trolls are allergic to happy, positive feelings. The warmer and friendlier the regulars are, in general and to each other, the angrier it makes them.
But most people who’re allergic to something just avoid it. Then again, it seems that me, and other lactose intolerant people, are all “yeah, pizza and ice cream are totally worth it”
So maybe they’re just intolerant to the warm fuzzies, not allergic.
Also, doh, I didn’t feed the snail tank…
All of this talk of fluffy kitties reminds me of my brother’s dogs – a pair of Japanese Chins. They’ve long since passed away, but damn, do I miss those dogs. I still have the Christmas picture of them with Santa. This was before my brothers had children so my mother would spoil those dogs – “Mom, what are you doing?” “I’m cooking breakfast for the dogs!” If you laid down anywhere, you suddenly had two dogs laying on you, and if you moved, they looked at you like “Um, where do you think you’re going?”. The last year that I saw Jake and Sarah was at Christmas many years ago, long after my brother had given them to a relative for spoiling because they couldn’t keep the dogs anymore. By then, our house was filled with little humans who were fascinated by the furry creatures – and said furry creatures parked themselves on me because they weren’t as fascinated by the little humans.
Now that I have my own house and once I’m moved in and settled, I’m really thinking of getting a pair of Chins. Luckily, my dad will be living in the downstairs apartment, so I don’t have to worry about them being alone all day, because I know he’d play with them/take them out. And since this place has nice backyard, there’ll be plenty of room for them to play. They’re smart dogs – at least, until you tell them something they don’t like, then they act like they have no clue what you’re saying in a “I do not understand this word ‘No'” kind of way. Of course, a lot of animals do that – my friend’s cat was notorious for that. But George would take it one step further and be like “How dare you say NO”.
But most people who’re allergic to something just avoid it. Then again, it seems that me, and other lactose intolerant people, are all “yeah, pizza and ice cream are totally worth it”
I’m highly allergic to cats, but if I want to see most of my friends, I have to go to places that have cats. If I take an allergy pill, I can stand about an hour before I get itchy and wheezy. It sucks, but I’m not going to avoid my friends 🙂
And I think some of our trolls are allergic to basic human decency, which I think includes warm fuzzies.
Speaking of dogs, our next door neighbour had her 15 year old faithful friend die on her a few months ago. (She got a kitten as a replacement after a month or so but that didn’t work out – fine ageing skin and scratchy bitey kittie were not a good match – so kittie was rehomed.) And she’s been completely and utterly miserable, finished up not eating properly and not sleeping. So this week she’s at her dietician appointment and ends up in floods of tears. Kindly dietician says ‘would you like to talk to someone about this’. Yes, she blubs.
And we arrive home late in the afternoon and get dragged inside the house of happy smiling neighbour. She’s now got photos of 8, eight!, beautiful Labrador pups which are prospective entrants to the Guide Dog program. Costs a measly $20 a month to sponsor the lot. She knows all their names and she’ll be getting regular updates and she doesn’t have to fill a single water bowl. With any luck she’ll also be getting some decent meals and a good night’s sleep from now on.
So now I have to go and buy a different Xmas card – one with a Labrador or ten.
Aww.. Now that’s a really sweet story. It always amazes me the empathy people can show in helping each other through grief.
I’m glad your friend is a little happier.
And In case I’m too busy: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
And I should add … how clever is the counsellor. No need for anything except a follow-up appointment in a month or so. Cheap solution for the low income client exactly suited to her needs. Problem solved in half an hour or so. Whoever this woman is she’s worth her weight in anything you name, both to her organisation and to her clients.
Sorry I wasn’t around for the awesome maple syrup digression last night, I had dungeons to delve and dragons to slay. Yeah, you girls know you want some of this alpha. /snark
@Some Girl:
Dag, I forgot that new commenters are automatically moderated since Newtown. I see your moderated comment now, and your handle is all run together in small caps. Did you maybe use another login? ‘Cause if you took your handle from Schticky, you ain’t a new commenter and I know I’ve seen you around.
So if it wasn’t that, I dunno what it was.
@Tulgey
I’m not up on bitcoins; from a quick look on Wikipedia, it looks like the concept is pretty optimistic. I’m not sure why “bitcointalk” is having this discussion is so amusing.
Lord, no, the last thing you want when you’re down is to talk about Les Mis.
Except possibly to listen to “Master of the House.” And that depends on your tolerance for upbeat songs about awful people.
I haven’t been to see the Hobbit yet. rot13’d: Qbrf bar bs gur qjnesf frevbhfyl unir na byq nkr urnq fghpx va uvf sberurnq? Gung’f jung vg ybbxrq yvxr gb zr sebz bar bs gur cbfgref.
(Trigger warning for possible disturbing imagery) Someone please tell me I’m wrong about what this looks like.
i see dwarf holding sword- what do you see?
It looks like what you think, though I’m sure that dwarf survives in the book (I just double checked)
(Trigger warning for possible disturbing imagery) different angle
That’s the very beginning though, so I guess it’s just stuck there permanently?
And um… SPOILERS (for the book anyways, I haven’t seen it either)

In short, the movies are *really* not for children, nor those disturbed by violence (or giant spiders, but after shelob I think I’ll stick it out!)
Check said dwarf’s forehead.
A little tiny dwarf penis on his hair thingy?
Oh, dumb MRA’s are lamenting the injustice done to this dude who invited this homeless women to stay in his apartment for sex for a few weeks and now she won’t leave. And this homeless addict appears to be turning violent, but the person has not attempted to call the police on assault charges. Strange…. Anyway, here is one of the responses from MRA redditor:
She’s homeless right? No one loves her, just bury her somewhere.
“She’s homeless right? No one loves her, just bury her somewhere.”
I…I just can’t…What. The. Ever. Loving. FUCK?
But no, they aren’t violent (and neither is the T-rex in Jurassic Park “they just do what they do”…works better with creatures who can’t find you if you don’t move…)
I’m going back to my movie, it’s less disturbing in its violence.
(I don’t think that’s a penis on Bifur’s head btw, but it could be a hair decoration/ornament of some sort — for Tolkien there is surprisingly like description of what each dwarf looks like)
Argenti, don’t leave me hanging- what are you seeing?!
I think it looks like a dinosaur. He has…not a stegosaurus, but something similar, on his forehead. Alternative history of Middle Earth?
Oh. Well, I took that to the wrong place.
@Falconer: the reason “bitcointalk” amuses me is because it’s basically this libertarian internet currency pipe dream. A place called “bitcointalk” is basically exactly where I would expect to hear about how Hurricane Sandy is generated by NOAA Lizard People from the left of the Pleiades.
Doctor Who on BBC America, x-mas day, The Snowmen (New).
I can only hope it doesn’t suck. Not holding out much hope, Doctor 11 isn’t really working too well for me. But color me glued to the set anyway!
timetravellingfool — use Falconer’s code — “rot13′d: Qbrf bar bs gur qjnesf frevbhfyl unir na byq nkr urnq fghpx va uvf sberurnq? Gung’f jung vg ybbxrq yvxr gb zr sebz bar bs gur cbfgref.”
“Not holding out much hope, Doctor 11 isn’t really working too well for me. But color me glued to the set anyway!” Seconded, and it’ll be the first Christmas special my mother sees that isn’t 10, this could be interesting (she likes 11 more than I do, but except for the current season she saw it all in repeats and “up next”, no waiting for weeks in other words)
This thread has some explanations:
http://www.reddit.com/r/ShitRedditSays/comments/132jt7/meta_if_reddit_does_choose_to_accept_bitcoin_it/
It seems that when Bitcoins aren’t tragedy, they’re farce.
I find 11’s acting very pantomime-y, and it’s annoying. It makes me feel like I’m watching something intended for small children.
