Next issue! God-man and Human-Man team up to fight cancer, poverty, AIDS, global warming, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the genocide in Darfur and lack of health care!

Will they succeed?

I've enjoyed every comment I've ever read from this man. I think we inherited him when Salon picked up Glenn Greenwald. Of all the comments I find anywhere on any site, his are the only one that make me think. And his subtle jabs at G.O. make my day! I find that he can pick apart most people without them ever really knowing. He is pure genius. Today's nut is tomorrow's mighty oak. Keep it up ClownSense, you rock!!!

So you're not Anonymous how exactly? Tough talk from a stranger on the Internet hiding behind both a nickname and a psuedonym. Got any more walls you can put up?

And Ted gets on the mental ignore list. He complains, I ignore, life is good. Easy-peasey!

Dare I ask if this actually means something? If bebop is challenging me to a duel or something, I'd like to know about it.

And to the defender of bebop whose name escapes me--if we don't understand it, maybe you should explain it better, hmmm?

Someone else mentioned Kansas O'Flaherty. This one strip is a perfect illustration of why KOF sucks so completely. In just a few panels, Bolling creates a brilliant allegory of the mysteries of why bad things happen to people in a world that is supposedly ruled by a loving and merciful god. It has a several solid chuckles and concludes with two solid punchlines. "Don't worry, chum, it's all part of my plan." Hilarious.

Too bad the letter's stream turned into a referendum on Bebop-o.

Go Bolling! Go away KOF!

Don't you find it rather ironic that you are able to put people on your ignore list when you yourself hide behind "Anonymous"? You talk tough so please explain to us why you won't use a nick.

Ted

And now I can add the guy above as well to my own private ignore list. He vents, I skip, everybody wins.

...are a drag.

Then again, the need to criticize someone attempting something you can't do at all is central to human condition.

If I had an ignore list, Beeb wouldn't be on it. But a lot of the rest of you pedestrians would be.

...is encouraged to try and be,

...a tad bit more less gracious.

Anonymous's brag about toupee glue.

Same here. I feel badly for anyone with nothing else to do with their life but post literal nonsense online -- and it's annoying when actually interesting conversations are "interrupted" by his pointless ramblings -- but, yes, it is very, very, very easy to spot one of his posts within the first several words and I skip them accordingly. I do the same with the other trolls, too. He gets his kicks, my life goes on, everybody wins.

...Human-Man gets cancer.

thanks.

O, fbi.

A red bannana.

O, Holy nula peanuts granola.

Best with natural goat milk.

O, so crunchy and distasteful?

I said he fancies himself as one, not that he is one.

@Monkey Pants

Nah, you want to see schizophrenic, read brightstar65's posts.

I actually laughed out loud at this Salon comic, something I often forget is possible after reading Kansas O'Flatulence.

And PLEASE do not besmirch the Beat Poets by mentioning the looney be-bop in the same breath, thank you very much.

Thanks!

Wow. After reading a few more of his letters I guess you're right. It's almost indistinguishable from the garbled mess I get in spam e-mail to disguise itself from filters. Now where's the ignore button.. dang.

PS. Freaking awesome comic today. Reminds me of the utter baloney that is the "two set of foot prints on the beach" thing. It's like "couldn't you have done something a little more than carry me, if that is what you were doing?!"

That's my diagnosis at least. After skimming his letters for a while now, there are occasional references to his treatment at the VA. But his verbal style is classic schizophrenia. I don't think his posting rights should be banned, but I usually don't get much out of his letters either.

I wish the name were at the top of each letter, but I've gotten pretty good at guessing his letters from the first couple of incoherent sentences so I can move on.

It isn't spam and it isn't a spambot. He seems to fancy himself a beatnik poet. He is actually commenting on the articles or other letters or both, but in a poetic way, sometimes a surrealist way.

His style isn't for everyone, but he isn't spam either.

I don't know, Charles, but I'm quite sick of be-bop o too. It should be banned.

I don't get it... I'm used to comment spam, but usually it has a link or something. Can anyone explain why someone wrote a script to comment on every article with spam nonsense paragraphs? It is a proof of concept or something?

I like words like : Puff, puff. BONK! ow.! Why? and "Now that's not right." chum.

There use to be a guy named, Theramenes.

He'd wonder why a deity didn't invent or put into motion a world with one size shoe ~ that would fit on either persons foot. apologies for teasing a dead man named Theramenes.

He may have thought:

There is nothing so supple and dangerous as those eccentrics arrogant thoughts. I agree. He was an Athenian rhetorician who could find arguments for either party.

Thermenes wasn't a very nasty cynic.

The yea attitude is...yes, much is ambiguous and faces both ways. A silver penny from a king ain't gonna help a gop in any era of history. Gold won't HELP! It will not be worth a dime when we clunk dead.

P.S.

When Reuben Boiling dies he must invent a shoe to fit on either foot. I love to see shoes on the wrong feet. However it seems almost impossible to inform a modern neocons/he looks just plain 'ole fancy-silly with no Socks on and shined up shoes pointing outward.
