This weekend started off slowly and quietly, until I began to read the Advocate on line and discovered that FINALLY a certain poster has been banned--BIG J is nowhere to be found. So to use one of my favorite song, "down, down, down in a ring of fire" the little letter is gone from the site.
YIPEEEE!
To celebrate this fact, I suggest that readers all go to the Town Hall meeting with a name tag decorated with miniature ropes and soccer balls. You know he was afraid of being hanged by soccer Moms, so it would be only appropriate to acknowlege him in this fashion. If you really want to finish off the look, you could also wear a big western hat and serape (much like Clint Eastwood in his spaghetti westerns.) A sign or two with the slogan, "High 'Em High" would not be out of place.
There are still some posters on the Advocate who are a plague on the intellectual, so the fight against this "brain drain" isn't over by any means. But as I sign off, the song has changed to, "Another one bites the dust, uh, uh." Funny how the soundtrack to my life always comes up with a ditty or two for the occassion.
Yeah!!!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe the Advocate finally came to their senses! Do you suppose they think there are scads of us ex-pats planning to show up and disrupt their BigJ and little Kenny lovefest at the town hall? Ban him now so we'll forget that the Advocate is still biased and crappy? My memory is a little better than that.
Well, I am not sure if I had a hand in pushing him over the edge or not, but if that is the case, then it was well worth my being actually forbidden to access their site - period. I can no longer even google the advocate and look at the daily paper anymore. I an "forbidden" from even viewing the obits now. That is quite a fall, from being one of the first eight or ten bloggers in 2005, that had to submit a post and a profile, to even be considered as a blogger for them. Of course, that was pre-Cobler, when it still looked like a newspaper, and not like a tabloid.......guess that's the way it goes.........
ReplyDeleteYou can't even look anymore? Damn! Okay, I just thought I was permanently banned. So, maybe I can sneak back on one more time...
ReplyDeleteI think all of it had him frazzled, and he just couldn't keep it under control. Everyone who chipped away at BigJ deserves a great big round of applause and a thank you!
I think that RUKIDDING me deserves a gift from Long Leaf Coffe Shop or a couple of pounds of yummy shrimp. She really was the crowning blow to the Little J's demise. When I grow up, I want to be just like her. Smart, clever, and beautiful to boot. Man, I can dream, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI agree! On all points!
ReplyDeleteFlirting with me? Pshaw, you make a young girl blush. Didn't know you thought that way about me. If I'd only known....
ReplyDeleteOh, flirting on The Advocate, not here, sorry, I misunderstood. You didn't start on this site until your were banned there.
ReplyDeleteWho's the lucky guy, I mean gal?
ReplyDeleteJustin, I knew your close relationship with Cobbler would get you into trouble, but I never thought you would take it too far. After all, he's had your back for quite some time. What happened, did you want more from him than he was willing to offer?
ReplyDeleteI don't believe it for a minute that Justin was banned for flirting.
ReplyDeleteFor stalking that weird chick, maybe, but not flirting. Flirting is harmless and there is nothing in the Advocate rules about flirting.
I am amazed at how much he is not protesting his demise.
Maybe Chris didn't like to be flirted with??? We don't know what private emails that Cobbler had with Justin. Maybe Justin got tooooo personal.
ReplyDeleteSo typical of little j, he can't even comment. Just type an address. What a lame brain.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and your blog says, "Stupid, stupid, stupid.....ignorant, biased, etc."
ReplyDeleteThat's right, that is the blog that you posted to show off someone else's writing skills.
