"I think they are all homosexual communists in Satan's army...I espect as well they all live together and bathe together every morning and have the anal sex with one another, with the fisting and the guinea pigs." - Manuel Estimulo
"I can never quite tell if the defeatists are conservative satirists poking fun at the left or simply retards. Or both. Retarded satire, perhaps?" - Kyle
"You're an effete fucktard" - Jeff Goldstein of Protein Wisdom
"This is the most pathetic blog ever..." - Ames Tiedeman
"You two [the Rev and el Comandante] make an erudite pair. I guess it beats thinking." - Matt Cunningham (aka Jubal) of OC Blog
"Can someone please explain to me what the point is behind that roving gang of douchebags? I’m being serious here. It’s not funny, and doesn’t really make anything that qualifies as logical argument. Paint huffers? Drunken high school chess geeks?" - rickinstl
Agi: that was in response to my question further up thread:
"Besides Jeff Goldstein, who else here has served in the Armed Forces?" I gave the name "Jeff's ol' Army Buddy from Ft. Apache."
That got all of mouth-breathing rageaholics going for awhile.
I was in the Army for 3 years, from '82-'85, and spent a year in Korea--either manning an observation post along the DMZ, or out in the field. Kim Il Sung was in charge back then--not his son, Lil' Softy. So I think I've got the street cred to ask questions of the mob-o-brutes.
Their talk of war and all things military sounds a lot like locker room bragadocia about pussy; but, as we all know, those who talk about "it" the most have the least experience.
I think the most formative military experiences Protein Wisdom readers have had is from playing first-person shooter video games in their parents' basements. They must have fast hand-eye coordination.
Exactly. "Halo" and whatever. Big "Guns and Ammo" fetishists too. Their knowledge of military tactics and strategem comes from 3 day D&D/Risk/Stratego/Magik binges. The Civil War Reenacting crowd. Pathetic. Do I generalize much?

When someone writes something like that, I immediately think "this man must have the smallest penis on earth if he has to overcompensate this much".

Dave Barry wrote a wonderful column about levitra, big rigs and the Super Bowl...I wish he'd write a blog instead of Protein Wisdom...
