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.
@ hellkell
Have you tried any of the flavored Lion blends?
I am a man and I cook, which entails using an oven sometimes, it’s a basic ass skill that everyone should learn. Also, I’ve lost track of the many cuts and burns I’ve gotten from cooking, so this notion that cooking is for fragile people that recoil at the mere thought of pain really baffles me.
Cassandra: I have, and I really like any of their macadamia and coconut flavors.
Ha! If I’d heard the “women are so passive” as a girl, I’d have decked her flat on her ass.
And obviously its not true considering two women ran into GUNFIRE in an attempt to put the guy down. What dumbass bullshit.
I recommend DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP?! Because its cooool.
@Myoo, one word: bacon.
@freitag
You mean because of the sizzling hot oil flying every which way? Yeah, I’ve been there.
Also, the comments on that article are much better than I expected. I particularly liked this one:
@ hellkell
Thanks! I love both coconut and macadamia, so that may be worth checking out.
(Also, I want to take a trip to Hawaii just to eat.)
Next on The Cooking Channel: Nude bacon-frying championships!
Cassandra: girrrrl, bring your eatin’ pants if you go for the food!
I always used to wonder about that as a kid when I’d see footage of nudist resorts and people would be using a BBQ. If you had to go to the ER because your pubic hair caught on fire that would be a little embarrassing.
“Also, I’ve lost track of the many cuts and burns I’ve gotten from cooking, so this notion that cooking is for fragile people that recoil at the mere thought of pain really baffles me.”
*looks at hands, seconds that* I seem to have a fundamental inability to remove a cookie sheet without banging my knuckles into the top rack (to the point I’m not even sure what half the scars on my hands came from)
“I recommend DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP?! Because its cooool.” — this is true. I think that’s my problem with 11 though, he’s just too damned angry, I can’t see 10 doing what he did there (then again, 10 would’ve ranted about “making this domestic”) — in any case, triceratops on a spaceship.
…are you kidding me internet, I’ve got .1g left, that’s like…100mb-ish…why do you claim this will take an hour?! This should take like 5 min with the supposed 6-fucking-mps we’re paying for! *scolds zir DSL*
Actor who played Bifur, why the axe in the head, what it means, etc.

The movie(s) are definitely not lighthearted children’s novel (but then only about half of Tolkien’s original novel was!).
I’m blathering away at great length about it all on my Dreamwidth journal so will link to the tag rather than derail over here.
At great length.
Of course, this is all work (snirks) since I’m teaching an online course on the film.

Or, in the absence of MEN AND HUSKY BOYS, the schools with their infinite funds could hire ARMED GUARDS.

So saith the NRA president.
Whose head does belong onnna stick.
“I always used to wonder about that as a kid when I’d see footage of nudist resorts and people would be using a BBQ. If you had to go to the ER because your pubic hair caught on fire that would be a little embarrassing.”
Ok, nudity positive culture or not, there are certain times where particular garments are not optional: radiation suits, various safety related footwear, eye/ear protection as needed, aprons when frying/BBQ/other things that might get hot things on you suddenly…
@Ithiliana, I read that as “whose head is a dick.” Works either way tho.
“Whose head does belong onnna stick.”
While I understand the sentiment, we’re supposed to be the non-violent ones, doesn’t really work that we get to call the MRM violent while saying the same veiled violent things.
Fired though? Preferable because the NRA ceases to be able to fund its existence? Yeah, that works for me.
A lot of people recommend Blink, but after consideration, perhaps something a little less prone to make you jump at everyday objects is in order.
Blink is scary, even for grownups. I’d go with Fires of Pompeii. It explains the whole Time Lord thing pretty well.
Blink was the first one I watched and it got me hooked. I had been resistent up until that point because I did not want it to turn out to be a campy mess like the old version.
Its all Beloveds fault.
I congratulate Mr Pillow on a job well done.
IDK on Bifur — on one hand they do all kind of blend into a dwarf collective in the book, on the other, this could really be done terribly wrong.
There is one change I like — they put Galadriel in the movie, were the book has an amazing total of 0 women (well, excluding “the women an child fled in boats” type stuff…and even that’s about a paragraph).
Oh, I watched Cloverfield earlier, despite having a main cast of like 6, it passes the Bechdel test. (Also, nice job on the big baddie, just the right amount of showing us wtf it is versus horror lying in the unknown.)
My yardstick for camp is Batman (1966). Old-school Doctor Who may be camp but it’s well within my tolerances.
See, I’d recommend Blink, but I basically had to force Pompeii on the not-an-ex when we were not-dating because ze’d started with Blink and found it too campy (in a way, the weeping angels are fairly predictable — see an angel, RUN AWAY!! — it is rather cliche) — ze’s smart enough that the timey-whimey bits just didn’t make up for that. And has taken as much Latin as I have, so Pompeii got real world interests involved.
The weeping angels still scare me more than the daleks or cybers though, both are at least kind enough to kill you quickly, with no “maybe I can escape this *blink* OH GODS!!” going on.
Could also start with werewolves, vampires, or ghosts XD (Tooth and Claw [10th], Vampires in Venice [11th], and The Unquiet Dead [9th] — that last one is with Dickinson, on Christmas, with ghosts, which is rather fitting for the season)
*kicks DSL* My gods you stupid piece of shit, 30mb should never EVER take 20~ min, that’s barely over 1 mb per minute // 1000 kbs = twice dial up. Is it the 90s again?!
This is absurd, I’ll be back with tea, maybe by the time the kettle boils this will be done.
I will take the Doctor Who recommendations under advisement. Oh, here was a funny exchange from my Thanksgiving dinner, just remembered:
My sister: [blah blah blah] soccer hooligans.
My mother: [mishearing] Doctor?
Me: Doctor Who-ligans!
Okay, so it really wasn’t that funny. There may have been wine involved.
