I got a troll and you didn't! In the comments to this post, the amazingly articulate Rob G. of 66.42.122.47 opines:
I can't wait for your lying fascist bogus potus to go down in November... just counting the days, you conformist, willfully ignorant clowns.
P.S. You forgot to put your mutual half-brain back into the jar of salty brine...
Sigh...I know, Rob G--it's terrible the way we won't admit that Neil Armstrong's moon landing was really filmed in the Arizona desert, that the government is covering up for the alien race that is abducting people to conduct anal probes, or that the National Enquirer's photos of the amazing bat boy were not photoshopped. But what you don't seem to realize is that the government is paying us to pretend to be "conformist, willfully ignorant clowns". That so-called "tax break" that GW pushed through? It was REALLY just a fancy accounting ploy to cover up the billions of dollars in bribes the government gives out to members of the VRWC.
So while I sit here on my yacht drinking pina coladas served by a scantily-clad waiter earning only 85 cents an hour to do my evil bidding, you have to hunch over a germy public library keyboard to surf the net and leave your insightful remarks--but only until the stormtroopers in black helicopters swoop down to pick you up and take you to the Patriot Act-endorsed re-education camp, muhahaha!
Oh--and that tinfoil hat you thought was going to protect you from the government's mind-control rays? It was made by ALCOA, an evil corporation that has been secretly embedding brain cancer causing material into its products since the 1950s....

Posted by: Ted at March 27, 2004 11:00 AMI note that it took Rob G three months to read that post.
Posted by: Pixy Misa at March 27, 2004 11:53 AMIt is really not proper to speak of "black" helicopters. The accepted term is "African-American".
Rob's mind is kind of like Harvey's... a jellyfish withering on the shores of a sea of thoughts!

That's just crazy talk, I tell ya, crazy talk!
Posted by: Wind Rider at March 27, 2004 05:45 PMIt's not really an anal probe, the aliens just judge the intelligence of the person captured and insert the probe where they think the brain is located.
Posted by: Graumagus at March 27, 2004 09:27 PMThe best thing to feed trolls is compliments. Their feeble brains are too simple to comprehend why you would compliment a harasser. My $.02
Posted by: glenn at March 28, 2004 01:53 AMMy preference with trolls is to edit their messages to make them say embarassing things.
Here's a sample policy if you want to adopt the same strategy. :-)
Posted by: Dean Esmay at March 28, 2004 06:54 AMBy the way, Susie, the other scantily clad waiters & I have been talking it over and were wondering if there was any chance we could get a raise to $.90 an hour? You wouldn't believe what we'd be willing to do for that nickel...
Posted by: Harvey at March 28, 2004 12:00 PMUm, Bat Boy is in the Weekly World News. Minor quibble, I confess, but I like accuracy.
Posted by: Victor at March 28, 2004 04:15 PMHow can we be conformist and willfully ignorant at the same time? If I don't know what I should know then how do I know what I know and if that's the same as what everyone else knows.
I think. I need to go to bed soon.
Posted by: Simon at March 29, 2004 07:42 AMThe first rule of the VRWC is that there IS NO VRWC.
The second rule of the VRWC...

I knew the plot clotted thicker and thickerer ...

Last I heard, Bat Boy had joined the special forces last year and was in on the invasion of Iraq. That was the last copy of WWN I looked at...anybody have an update on what he's been up to?
