Pwned!

Posted by Ron Coleman on January 7, 2009

“Harry Reid Gets Pwned” over at the Sundries Shack (which is flogging for well-deserved blog popularity contest votes!)  As Jimmie says, “Now that I’ve used the word ‘pwned’ more than should be legal of a guy my age, on with the stories.”

Heh.  Good one.

What’s “pwned”?

Fear of failure

Instapundit :

“President Reid?” I know it’s just a verbal stumble, but don’t scare me like that.

Failure Face

Come Glenn, we must face our fears!

OK, so he’s a weensy bit impressed with himself

K. Ryan James (who is in fact a bit of a big deal):  So for Barry, when did it all become about Barry?

Now note that I somehow missed the moment when Barack became “Barry.” I picked this up on right wing blogs all too late to get in on the fun and, as regulars here know, I am a tad soft on the President Elect, being rather taken with his First Minus 60 Days, frankly. (It’s the First 100 — when Congress is in session — that scares me.) But I have to admit I loved this little nugget from Ryan, and the accompanying graphic:

On Wednesday, The One pushed back against the unbelieving left who were wondering about “change” being implemented by Clinton retreads. He offered this nugget:

Understand where the vision for change comes from, first and foremost,” he told reporters at his third press conference in as many days. ”It comes from me. That’s my job, is to provide a vision in terms of where we are going, and to make sure, then, that my team is implementing.

To put it simply, from The One comes the Change.

Did I mention my wife was Ron Colemans classmate at Princeton?

Did I mention my wife was Ron Coleman's classmate at Princeton?

This is good work. I don’t happen to think it’s productive in any way besides the inducing of mirth, but that’s a kind of productive, and for sure calling out Mr. Obama on his soaring ego is entirely called for.

Now frankly if I had accomplished what the man has accomplished in the time he’s accomplished it, I’d probably be mightily impressed with my own bad self, too. I know this because I haven’t done that but I still pretty much am.  (Mightily impressed with me, that is.)

The main difference between me and President-Elect Obama in fact is that Ryan hasn’t done any cool graphics about me. So we have the ones about Mr. Obama to enjoy — and I did. And that’s the main thing because, well, you know, it’s my blog and … right. It’s pretty much all about me, too.  But, hey, I’m not the President-Elect.

Nyak nyak nyak!

Posted by Ron Coleman on November 25, 2008

I came home “early” tonight, so my fourth grade twins begged me to “do something” with them, which of course I had to do, and what they wanted me to do and what I did was watch three Three Stooges shorts on DVD on the computer in the basement.  Now I have not seen a frame of the Stooges in over 35 years, I am sure, and it wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected.  They certainly enjoyed it and, no less important, they enjoyed watching it with me.

My main “takeaway”:  Shemp — who actually preceded Curly as the third Stooge, it turns out, though he replaced him after his death — really gets a bum rap.  Yes, Curly was very special, but the fact is Shemp was one heck of a talented comic actor.

But the whole thing, really, is sad… but not in a way a fourth grade boy, or even two, would understand.

Out of the frying pan….

Posted by Ron Coleman on November 11, 2008

They told when Obama was elected it would be bad for the Jews…. and just look, even at the heart of the vast right-wing conspiracy — can’t you see where this is going?!

Last weekend’s Info-Me-Cials

Posted by Ron Coleman on November 2, 2008

I had originally only posted them only on Facebook, but then I figured, what the heck.  The damage is done, and with just a little effort I’m pretty sure I can deliver Florida with these.

Let’s not get carried away here!

Posted by Ron Coleman on November 1, 2008

Almost had me there for a second!

And Gerard van der Leun comments: “Obama is like the onion in Peer Gynt. Take away the layers there’s nothing at the core.”

For a second there I thought he wrote “Take away the lawyers…”

Whew.

Now this is scary!

Instapundit:

IN THE MAIL: Sarah Hoyt’s Gentleman Takes a Chance. With a nice cover-blurb from Jerry Pournelle.

UPDATE: Sarah Hoyt emails: “Thank you for the mention in the in-the-mail. I check instapundit first thing every morning for news and it was a wonderful surprise.” And so was this email, as I had no idea that Sarah Hoyt was an InstaPundit reader.

Well, you realize what he’s telling us, don’t you?

HE KNOWS EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS AN INSTAPUNDIT READER!  And probably also what we’re wearing when we read it.  He’s surprised that one of us temporarily eluded his grasp… or maybe he just wants us to think that so we’ll do something stupid!

Which of course we won’t.
