If you aren’t too worn out by all the Presidents’ Day revelry — and the ritual Donning of the Fake Lincoln Beards — I would like to welcome you to the first edition of the 2013 Man Boobz Pledge Drive! (There will be 3 in all.)
I’ll try to keep this brief and repeat what I said last time: If you enjoy this blog, and can afford it, please click on the “donate” button below and sending a few bucks my way. Or, if you’d prefer, a massive quantity of bucks. You don’t need a PayPal account to donate; you can use a credit card, and I think there are other options as well.
There’s a bit more urgency to my request this time: I’m really and truly broke at the moment. Things should get better later in the year, but right now I could use all the help I can get.
I appreciate any and all contributions. And I’d also like to do a quick shout-out to the those who send me much needed $ between pledge drives, whether these are one-shot deals or regular infusions.
That said, if you’re also broke and can’t swing a contribution now, I completely understand. There are lots of ways to contribute to this blog besides cold hard cash, and lots of you contribute enormously every day with smart and funny comments and cartoons and silly parody MRA posters and so on and so on. Which is awesome. It’s the community here that keeps me going.
So thanks!
Oh, and if you need more persuading, here’s Tom Baker (no, really) begging for bucks during a PBS pledge drive.
I’m just going to pretend sonichu is making this noise every time zie talks.
Aww. Cute frog had my Rosie-cat trying to search under the laptop for the source of the squeakiness.
Click the link to find where David cites this piece of classist, ableist shit. You are so honest and upfront, horrible social justice scumbags. XD
I love how you know you’re awful people and don’t want your actions to reflect poorly on internet social justice.
Dude, status insults only work if people care what you think.
RE: katz
Oh god, one of the kids here is DYING of the cuteness of that frog.
Yeah, sonichu just makes me think of someone who listened to a record backwards and now INSISTS it’s all about Satanism. Let’s talk about something else. Rap Critic! He’s helping turn me on to good rap and helping me avoid the consequences of Sturgeon’s Law! Thanks, Rap Critic!
I’m sorry, all I hear is squeak squeak squeak!
The Grudge 3: The Confusion.
Lbt, you let your children read this site?
Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak!
Got to love this display of troll stupidity and hypocrisy.
IdeologueReview comes on whining about SPLC’s nasty classist words about Marky Mark. He then attacks David and the regulars for allegedly not having money and not having jobs (his evidence … that we’re on the internet, just the same as he is).
First Joe joins in with a “get a job” sneer.
Dragon Slayer says (among all his body phobia attempted insults) that Elam’s audience is smaller but wealthier, therefore better people.
… and after all that guff, the most moronic of them all comes on saying it’s David’s readers who are classist?
Priceless.
I guess katz has devolved from spitting and swearing to animal noises. T’was bound to happen eventually. 🙁
Did I miss something where either David or the regulars here attacked MarkyMark because he was poor and had health problems?
SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK.
What’s that?
SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK.
That said, this is the sentence: “Run by a New Jersey Tea Partier with a financially underwater house and a chronic medical condition, Marky Mark’s blog is filled with edifying thoughts like “Even Nice Girls are Sluts.””
I think they were really trying to highlight the irony that someone who is struggling financially and had health problems would be a Tea Partier (talk about working against your own self interest), but the way it’s written that isn’t clear. Including that information, plus the snarky tone, makes the sentence [dum dum dum dum] problematic. He’s an asshat because he’s an asshat, not because he’s broke and sick. The writer should have left it out, IMO.
And again, issues with writers who work for the SPLC would be most effectively addressed by emailing whoever runs the SPLC’s website.
For those keeping score, the number of swear words I have used in this thread so far is zero, unless you count “wanker.” This is, of course, completely irrelevant, but I’m just pointing out how little connection trolly’s comments have to the real world.
Now zie’s making this noise.

A heh. Aha. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hahaha. Hoooooo. *wipes away tear*
Oh gosh. Guys, what should I say? Besides, “squeak squeak squeak squeak,” I mean. (Oh GOD, katz, it really sounds like a little squeaky toy!)
(Nearly) 7 minutes of cute animals, anyone?
Warren Farrell did an AMA on Reddit today:

I’m way too full of food to want to empty my stomach by looking at the questions and answers.
@LBT
I’d ask for more tips on dealing with your kids because I like watching trolls dig, but this one isn’t necessarily responsive enough for that to be any fun. 🙁
LBT: naughty parent! Bad parent!
LOL LOL LOL LOL
Today I learned that linking to an article on the website of the Southern Poverty Law Center makes me a classist.
In other news, monkeys are flying out of my butt.
It is true. I am terribly ashamed. Letting the kid watch cute frog vids on Manboobz. Truly, I deserve the Pointing Finger of Shame. Oh yes.
Warren Farrell and Reddit: two great tastes that .. oh, wait.
I’ll have to head on over there and give it a read.
In the middle of seven minutes of cute, my kitteh cat climbed on my lap.
I am MUSH.
Deoridhe – kittehs know how to get you when you’re at your weakest! 😀
In more important news then whatever the hell that troll was babbling on about…I am going to attempt a new recipe tonight.
It involves rice, chicken, broccoli and cheese. I hope it comes out well. If you mix that, water, Campbell’s Cream of Chicken with Herbs soup it cannot go bad right?
