I was going to write up a big thing about it, but really, if you can’t figure out who the sort of people who visit Celebrity Dog Watcher are, then you probably need to go find another website to hang out on for a bit. Here’s a random selection:

i didn’t think she was a cute girl in sisterhood but she looks good here.

That beautiful … enchant to me…
Thanks

I french bull Hanz zappa who wants to meet loki

I HAVE OOPS

hanz loves janis and wants to meet with Loki!

She has money & she feed’s her poor dog’s garbage.

Hey, my dogs eat Beneful and are healthy, happy and loved. Next thing, you’re gonna be pouncing on my Purple drinks. That’s okay, though. My pets have their nutrition and I have my antioxidants and Christina does still look good.

This has already happened with chihuahuas. If you’ve ever walked through downtown los angeles or the los angeles animal control, everywhere you turn you see a chihuahua or small dog of some sort. They’ve probably figured that since there’s already a boom, they’re safe.

Bethenny - Cookie is so cute. I like that she really is apart of your family. You were my favorite “housewife” and I wish you and Jason all the best! I heard a rumor there’s not going to be a season 2, is there?

No, that’s his second dog. His first dog’s name is Arrow.



So, here’s some grade-a batshit conservative commentary on, of all things, the X-Men’s Jean Grey and and movies where women are unfaithful. Apparently the fact that Jean Grey is conflicted about her feelings with Wolverine (you know, like almost anyone would be if given the choice between Cyclops and the guy that makes Andrew WK look like a party novice) is unbearable. Now, you might ask yourself, why would someone who has such a rabidly conservative stance even bother with the X-Men, the clumsiest metaphor for racism and homophobia that’s chugged down the pike in forever? Because - get this - she loves superheroes. But not superhero comics. Excerpts? Oh, I’ve got them:

Now my son, as previously mentioned, has a Playstation. It shouldn’t surprise you that we own three different X-Men games (X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends II and X-Men “the official game”). We also have Ultimate Alliance, which I think is cool. (I like playing Storm. She rocks.) We’ve also seen (and own on DVD) all three X-Men movies. Watching those movies for the first time I didn’t know much of anything about the Marvel superheroes or the X-Men specifically. After the first movie I was hooked. I love the X-Men now.
Of course, I really got the impression throughout all three movies that they were trying hard to correlate mutants with homosexuality without actually flat out saying it, though. That really irritated the hell out of me. Still, awesome movies nonetheless..

Yes, because you can remove the themes of tolerance and taking the high road from X-Men and have something that’s more interesting than the Great Lake Avengers. Uh-huh.

Here’s what really, seriously, totally ticked me off about X-Men right off the bat. The Jean Grey, Wolverine, Cyclops thing. That totally pissed me off in like the first two minutes. Then I find out this has been pretty much going on in the comics, too. (I got that second hand though, having never actually read the comics.) Then I see in the video games much is made about this little love triangle as well. Apparently, it’s just awesome.

My first reaction? Cyclops is a total idiot. He’s should dump that slut and let her go have her fling with Wolverine. Seriously. Screw her, she’s a total “ho”. Cyclops can do much, much better. Better yet, he needs to snatch her aside one good time and make it perfectly clear that the drooling over Wolverine is unacceptable. Either drop the fantasies about Wolvie or hit the road. Bottom line. Just how damned much more disrespectful and flat out insulting can you be to your spouse than that? Other than actually cheating on them and making no secret of it, you can’t be!

Heaven forbid characters show some human flaws in order to make them more interesting for an audience. That’d be just silly, wouldn’t it?

I hate all three of these boneheads. Cyclops is an idiot for not laying down the law with Jean Grey the second her interest in Wolverine became apparent. Jean Grey is a fool for playing with Wolverine when she’s married. Wolverine is just a whore and really needs Cyclops to blast him in the face a couple dozen times to get the message across.

All three need a good, solid smack upside the head.

I don’t think it’s the fictional characters that need a “good, solid smack” in this case. I really don’t. Because - get this - they’re not real. You can just leave them be in their nice little world and go read and watch movies where married people lead happy little lives and make out with each other and have chaste, missionary-position sex with the blinds closed and the lights out every third Thursday.

OK, so fannish whining aside, there’s a feminist message buried in all this, or so “Mary Contrary” thinks:

There yah go. Even a 12 year old boy can see what most adult women these days are completely blind to. That’s pretty discouraging. To most adult women these days Jean Grey is just awesome. They aspire to Jean Grey-ness. God help the men they manage to hoodwink into a relationship with them.

What. Most adult women can’t tell you who Jean Grey is, I’m quite sure.

Mary goes on and on about infidelity in movies before stating this:

Let me close this minor rant with a reaffirmation of my conservative Christian fanatic status. I believe adultery should be outlawed (as in “against the law”). Further, I believe it should be a capitol crime. Jean Grey is whore and should be stigmatized as such. Both women from Bridges of Madison County and Unfaithful should have been arrested, convicted and put to death.
Publicly.
On television.
The same television that currently spews out show after show, movie after movie glorifying adultery.

Holy. Shit. She is calling for the public execution of fictional characters. Just drink that in for a moment. This is a woman who calls herself a Christian who’s demanding that the governent round up and kill three women that don’t exist because they cheated on their spouses. (She’s also ignoring the fact that Diane Lane’s character in Unfaithful finds herself going through no small amount of misery because of her infidelity, an argument for sticking with Richard Gere even when there’s a handsome young artist who does things with his tongue that make your knees week.)

I don’t remember Jesus Christ saying anything like that in the New Testament. Or did Christians get their name from another guy with the same last name who was all about brute-force punishment instead of understanding?

(Also, for the love of pete, nobody tell her about Emma Frost.  We’d end up with a six-megaton brain blast wiping out tens of thousands of innocents.)

Special thanks to K.D. Bryan for bringing this person to our attention.



Domelights.com claims to be the “voice of the good guys.” In this case, the “good guys” in question are the employees and officers (past and present) of the embattled Philadelphia Police department. That’s right, they’re the guys that get to work with 9th District Police Captain Dennis “We’re Trying To Drum Up Charges Against Them” Wilson.

They’re talking about this week’s hippie shakedown, of course, because hey, don’t we all complain about customers at some point in our lives? I mean, what’s their problem, anyway? They always want more rights, more reasons, more “constitutionally protected freedoms.” Jeez.

On Wilson’s quote concerning the attempt to “drum up charges”:

I highly doubt this (I don’t think that Wilson talks this way). It’s pretty desperate when one paper uses another for quoting, esp. such a liberal, perverted one, like City [toilet] Paper.

Note to self: get a subscription to the City Paper, tout suite.

Calibrax Cop sees a bit of justice in Wilson’s predicament:

I know Wilson wishing the best for he and the 9th in this
about ten years ago when he was in the gink squad at Impact his boys and he put me and 2 other cops through the ringer for almsot a year conducting a job on us over total bulls**t me and my family went through hell for not reason other than politics

I hope nothing bad happens to him in this and mean it but now he knows what it is like to be accused of something that is garbage

Yes, those blank lines are all his. He’s investing in message board real estate, see.

This guy’s got Megatron form the Transformers movie as his icon:

heads up emails are going out saying home invassion by p/o and cival rights violations and all kinds of crap showing us bad and them good calling for protest—my girlfriend got a random email about it and brought it to my attention

It took me a few minutes of staring to figure out that this is probably written this badly because of Babelfish’s inability to handle Cybertronian-to-English translation.

daiarthma responds to word of these vicious hate emails:

Welcome to the age of electronic propaganda, character assassination and rumor spreading.

Kind of makes you think of…

What? What does it make us think of? Shit like this?

HURF DURF HIPPIES:

I am told that no matter how thorough the officers search was, they just couldnt find any soap there.

It was probably in the trash - with the “Help Wanted” ads.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I fucking hate hippies too, but I’m not a uniformed officer of the law posting on the internet with an easily-traced IP address. If I were, I’d probably, you know, just stick to dicking around in World of Warcraft and Halo 3.



So, this guy Daniel Moffat circulated petitions that questioned the heavy use of police surveillance cameras and soon found himself on the receiving end of an apparently unwarranted search by Philadelphia police.

Said 9th District Police Captain Dennis Wilson: “They’re a hate group. We’re trying to drum up charges against them, but unfortunately we’ll probably have to let them go.”

Other choice bits include Wilson telling Moffat “You’re not being charged; you’re being investigated” and “Call it a kidnapping.”

I’ll let that sink in for you: distributing literature questioning heavyhanded police tactics makes you a “hate group.”

What does the internet say, though? Isn’t that what we’re here for? No commentary, just a sheer illiterate stupidity dump this time:

We’ve all met clowns like this. What a shock that he’s from California. Clowns like this just look for ways to cause problems, irritate their neighbors, and deal meth out of their basement. I’ve no sympathy for him or his loser friends.

The police are just doing their job.If they uncovered some plot that these people were planning a mass massacre then everyone would be praising them.

If these people were BLACK Rev Al would already be on his way to are city

Philly needs more roustings like this to route out the criminal element and take back control of the city. The occupants of the house should be glad that they weren’t faced with bullets, bulldozers or C4!

Yes they did have probable cause. You bleeding heart liberals are pathetic. Stop believing that the police dont have a right to look for suspected criminals. These folks have the motive for destroying the cameras, they were in the vicinity and refused to show ID when the police went to the home. WAKE UP! This aint kindergarten

Dude looks like complete White Trash. Looks like he should be working for Eddie Welch Landscaping

This clown is guilty of something - the police don’t just pick random houses and trash them.

O-K, so the guy is a social lefty do gooder living in a ghetto where one of the locals would probably shank him to death anyway. It’s just a matter of time. So he has an “agenda”. Everybody has an agenda. He’s not harming anybody. It’s just that this type of flake tends to get the blood of authority figures boiling and causes them to do gestapo like things because they probably don’t get enough sex at home and are frustrated. To quote that well known dirt bag Rodney King the only time he ever got anything right in his miserable life: “Can’t we all just get along?”

Let’s give Philadelphia a big hand, everybody. Birthplace of liberty! Can you dig it?



The Swamp is the Chicago Tribune’s politics blog, and like most blogs of its type, it runs a little bit of commentary, a little bit of snark, and a little bit of stuff that probably wouldn’t make the paper even on a slow Sunday.

Case in point: to accompany an otherwise-standard election fund-raising story, they ran a mundane, even banal photo of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle on Chicago’s South Side. And sure, nobody looks good in a bicycle helmet, as Obama conceded at a Thursday night fundraiser:

“I had an internal debate,” Obama admitted, when a supporter thanked him for wearing a helmet. “Because I knew that the AP was going to take a picture, and they were trying to portray it like Dukakis wearing that tank helmet.

“But I wanted to make sure that the children who saw that picture knew that even the Democratic nominee for president wears a helmet when he goes biking,” he said to applause.

Well, shucks. Hard to argue with that, politically calculated (”For the Children!”) or not. The photo business just barely adds interest to another campaign newsblip. Surely no one can make a mountain out of this molehill.

Haha, what a tool!!!!!
Ooh, I did it for the kids, always about the kids. C’mon, you are a part of the problem why these kids are such wimps today. When I was a kid, I never wore one, fell plenty of times but got right back up every time. Learned a lot of valuable lessons that way.

For example, “how to act like a douche in a public forum,” right, Ed? But at least you’re not reading a sinister political agenda into coverage of a bike helmet, like our cousin Vinny:

Still no article on McCains nationally televised Town
Hall meeting last night. Nah the swamp is not biased towards or Obama
otr anything like that. The swamp is clearly pushing an agenda. I dont
want to have to but I think I am going to have to put the swamp in the
idoits category along with Olberman, Limbaugh, Hannity, Mathews, Air
America, and Anne Coulter.

I will say this for Vinny: his idoits category is refreshingly non-partisan. His comment is even somewhat germane to the topic, and while it will get no points for spelling or grammatical elegance, it does at least have the virtue of seeming, well, sane.

Let us turn now to the comment of stan woodbridge, which is not germane, grammatically correct, nor… well. You’ll see:

Still no article on the hate America global warming
loons scaremongering and flooding of the Midwest? Flooding the
Republican heartland is no way to get our attention. We get it you hate
America, now leave this great country.

So if I parse this correctly, stan believes that “global warming loons,” by which I infer he means advocates of the climate change theory, are somehow causing the floods in the Midwest to scare Republicans into believing in climate change. Because they hate America.

Someone clearly forgot to wear his bicycle helmet one too many times.



“To me the great hope is that now these little video recorders are around and people who normally wouldn’t make movies are going to be making them. And suddenly, one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart and make a beautiful film with her father’s camcorder and for once, the so-called professionalism about movies will be destroyed, forever, and it will really become an art form.”

When Francis Ford Coppola spoke those prophetic words in 1991, he had the vision to see where the proliferation of consumer-level video technology was going in the coming years. Now, millions have access to the keys to the filmmaking kingdom in their very own homes.

One thing he was not able to presage (along with his complete and utter descent into hackdom) was that this video revolution would not end up with a new Mozart, but rather, tons of homemade music videos for lousy songs. Case in point:

“Kitten filled Music video for Matchbox Twentys new hit song How Far We’ve Come made for people who love both the two and cant seem to find too much of a good thing”

Now, this alone would warrant a post on its own. But- BUT - the video has a stunning 620,461 views and 1,489 comments (as of this writing). Let’s browse a few,shall we?

the kitty on 1:32 looks like its sad and waving goodbye….but this song is awsome and really cute kittens and cats

lol this vid was added on 9/11

ok…the song is awesome, but the video and the song together is a little too ironic…it’s almost like the person who put the cats to this song completely ignored what the song is about, which isn’t really that cool…

i like but wats cats gota do with the worlds endin???????????

Uhhhh……..i’m married into the family of a former astronaut who founded this information with a handful of scientists and nasa personel. I’ll give you a hint. Apophis. The years 2027 and 2036 are involved. Please don’t ask me why no one has heard of this in the news. Don’t have time for that. Just think about how society would change.

yeah. the top scientist predict a Nuclear War in 2027. they say its gonna be the greatest nuke war ever. couse we found new wepons and put stuff like Red Mercury in em. wich makes em nucleur. put nuclure stuff in a nuclear bomb.wow! lets see how far we’ve come after that. p.s. i love this song!!!

I hate cats but that was flat out Killin. It was the longest cat video i’ve seen to date. That’s alot of cats. Don’t forget the lion in the mirror.

My favorite, though- the one that sums it up so perfectly-

some one likes cats

Indeed they do, sir. Indeed they do.



Tattoos are perhaps one of the most interesting body-modification processes available considering the history of tattoos is thousands of years old, and that in the hands of a talented artist the human body can become a beautiful canvas. Tattoos can be discreet or in-your-face; deeply introspective or light and whimsical.

Apparently, they can also stir up the mouth-breathingest denizens of humanity that ever mashed their meat-paws against a keyboard.

Asylum.com provides access, in this case, to a slideshow of the “worst tattoos ever”.

Here is the first comment on that slideshow:

those have got to be the most stupidest corniest bunch of retards with tatoos i have ever seen

Believe it or not, this is the highest level of civility the comment thread produces.

If a person wants a tat, fine that be his or her choice.

Oh, well I guess that wasn’t too… what? He had more to say?

Personally i think it is a big waste of money and a potential threat of infection. When a person gets older (a lot older) and things begin to SAG; or you go for that job that you always wanted;etc,etc,etc When my son got his first one he told me this ” but i got it where no one could see it” really proud of that one ( $159.00) I just think they are a stupid wast of hard earned money

Wow. That was fast. From “zero” to “crotchety old bastard” in one sentence!

It’s a good thing there’s an available member of the tattooing community to upbraid him.

thats your opinion your obviously a very closed minded tight wad , tattoos are more than just a waste of money

Sure. They’re a great source of Hepatitis C, too!

if you had any idea as to how much time,dedication, and skill that goes into being a professional tattoo artist, you would feel a little more respect, and appreciation for the ARTFORM! its not just for scumbags and sailors anymore pal

But really, up until this point, things have been positively congenial. After this things quickly degrade into what amounts to an internet slap-fight.

THERE NOT TATTO’S THERE TRAP STAMPS

All caps? Check. Spelling errors? Check. Even spelled “tattoo” incorrectly? Check. Obnoxious opinion no one asked for? Check. Congratulations, we have Internet!

It is not only awaste of money, but most of those guys are NOT artists, they are want to be artists. And besides, if God would have wanted us destroying something he had made, he would have covered us all in junk like that, let alone all the stupid canabalistic nose rings, tongue rings, and other unmentinable places that these people place them for thier self identification. Those things are absolutely disgusting, and show me nothing but perversions of offending God.

Uh oh. Some sanctimonious prude said “God” on the internet, thus blowing the “Douchebag Atheist” dog-whistle.

You may have one of the stupidest opinions I have ever heard on the internet, and the internet is a pretty damn big place.
… paragraphs and paragraphs of being an overbearing ass…
Lastly, I do not believe in all this God talk, but I am trying to help you better understand the God you think you know. I’m not saying that some tattoos are offensive, but a lot of people who get them do so to commemorate something very influential and important in their lives.

If I live for 10,000 years, I doubt I’ll ever read anything more obnoxious than “I am trying to help you better understand the God you think you know”. Oh, wait, the comments continue? I guess I don’t need to live that long.

Where in the h**l did they come up with those designs? Someone was obviously on something to make those designs so ugly. What a waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, if one exclamation point means I’m excited about something, certainly 20 mean that I’m really excited!

I’m now operating under the policy that people who use extra exclamation points, commas, periods, et cetera should be sterilized.

I SAW A WOMAN WITH A ….W …..PRINTED ON EACG SIDE OF HER BUTT. wHEN SHE STOOD ON HER HEAD IT SPELLED ””””””””””””” M O M

See what I mean? An almost decent joke that is, shockingly, relevant to the topic at hand, and it’s completely ruined by an incomprehensible use of punctuation. However, it might have been enough to get the comments back on topic. Let’s check:

To each his own but don’t make me look at it. Keep your shirt on. Wear sleeves. Don’t put that crap in my face. I don’t like it.

Ah yes, the old, “I don’t want to see it” argument. A favorite of racists and homophobes with extremely delicate sensibilities everywhere.

I really don’t know why anyone would pay to scar themselves like these people did! I know people who have birth marks that cannot be removed, who would give anything to not have the birth mark! I have friends who got tattoos, who now say it was the dumbest thing they ever did. They are paying thousands of SSS’s to get them removed. $159.00 to put it on and $5,000.00 to get it removed? I will not hire anyone to work for me who has a tattoo. I am not running a circus, I am running a business!

I didn’t realize that SSSs were legal tender. Also, I don’t know what country’s currency that is.

I have a tattoo and I love it….I have a bubblegum collection…so I went and had a bubblegum machine tattooed on my stomach…left side of my belly button…it turned out great…worth the money I spent…and by the way…I am a girl…not a guy…didn’t want you to think it was so guy getting a bubblegum machine tat.

Yes, because men HATE bubblegum!

umm….thats pretty muich the grossest tatto evr!!! i meen the one wit da skull think with the teeth…yeah EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW gawwsh get a life ppl!!!!!!!!!!

Get a life, indeed.

Aren’t you glad you decided to see what people thought of the ridiculously bad tattoos? Looking at comments is like going on a treasure hunt where all you find are punches in the genitals.



Recently, a 30-year old man was detained at London’s Heathrow airport, apparently for wearing a t-shirt featuring a robot from the Transformers film holding a large gun. (Also- the fellow’s profession? IT Consultant. Anyone shocked? No? Very good, then, moving along…)

Mr Jayakody said the first guard started joking with him about the Transformers character depicted on his French Connection T-shirt.

‘”Then he explains that since Megatron is holding a gun, I’m not allowed to fly,’ he said.

‘It’s a 40ft tall cartoon robot with a gun as an arm. There is no way this shirt is offensive in any way, and what I’m going to use the shirt to pretend I have a gun?

He was cooperative with the supervisor and took off the the ‘offensive’ T-shirt, replacing it with another shirt in his carry on luggage.

A spokesman for Heathrow operator BAA said: ‘If a T-shirt had a rude word or a bomb on it, for example, a passenger may be asked to remove it.

Well, to be fair, the film was quite a critical bomb, so it sort of fits, but we’ll leave that aside for the moment.

Now- one would think that the commenters on this story would leap upon it like a pack of rabid steampunk watch-wearing BoingBoing readers, full of indignant rage, shocked to the core that an airport security person had overstepped their bounds, for the first time in the history of anything, anywhere. But no! Instead, we get some editorializing about the gentleman’s sartorial choices-

I m more interested in why a 30 year old man is wearing a transformer t-shirt to begin with?

I can’t believe he made it past the fashion police.

If I were the cop, I would pull him aside and let him in on the secret of push ups and sit ups in the morning…

A 30 year old wearing a “Transformers” t-shirt? I reckon that’s offensive enough to prevent someone boarding. Grow up man, act your age.

And being from French Connection doesn’t make it any more acceptable.

Ermm… the bloke is 30. He’s wearing a t-shirt on a business trip. It depicts a child’s toy.

There is a problem here, and it has nothing to do with airport security….

He’s a grown man wearing a ‘Transformers’ Tee Shirt!

One wonders which cartoon character he has on his duvet and pyjamas.

Mr. Jaykody may not even know that, himself-

He keeps saying Megatron when it is Optimus Prime. Does he even know what shirt he is wearing?

Now, before we go- can we get just one Godwin? For the road?

Pity he caved in so easily to the Nazi Stormtroopers.

Ahhh… thank you.



The Democratic primary season is over, so let the post-mortems begin! Over at ABC.com, Matthew Dowd has submitted his contribution in what promises to be 2008’s biggest growth industry. There’s nothing in Dowd’s piece that hasn’t been already said, though this self-consciously “hep” analogy ranked high on the cringe-worthy index:

Obama was the Ipod of this election, while Clinton was the Walkman. The Walkman is reliable and easy to use and works great, it just doesn’t have the hip factor that an Ipod does.

So Obama will be replaced each six months by a slimmer model with more functionality? Go politics 2.0!

It’s the comments, however, where things really get “off da hook,” as the kidz say. (They do say that, right?)

“white woman ind. voter”:

SHE WAS TO SELF CENTERED ALL FOR HERSELF AND TO HECK WITH THE REAS OF YOU,NOW SHE WANT VEE P NO way THE ARE ALREADY USING HER WORDS TO SMEAR HIM THANKS HILLY YOU WITCH

“s.b.”:

Easy answer voter fraud at caucuses and at the DNC.

Fraud is Chicago politics as usual.

Too bad voter intimidation and rigging caucuses with out of state students wont work in a general election.

He is unelectable and Democrats are dumb. 35% of Clinton voters are walking.

Yeah, you do that. Take your ball, go home, and let a man eight orders of magnitude to the right of Clinton walk off with the election. THAT’LL SHOW THEM!

“freetradein” does some freestylin’:

hillary what a disasta…just like nafta…shakin’ hands with newt….keeping the vote open past 15 minutes and bribing houston congressperson with million dollar contracts….0 the humanity!…maybe she’ll get fsc

Word up, DNC! Supah-delegates represent!

“Joan”:

To All Obama Supporters: You go ahead keep being mean;guess what, Obama WILL lose in Nov. because a big portion of Hillary’s supporters, including my whole family, will vote for McCain in Nov.!

How to spot Joan’s family at the polling station: Look for the group of people who have cut off their noses to spite their faces.

“novote” smells a conspiracy:

Obama can get all the delegates and super ones too. Not my vote though.
I bet all the conspirators will eliminate write in candidates to prevent Hillary from the ballot.

“nomob” (who in no way is “novote” posting under a different user name) blames the media:

The media has helped to create the Obama momentum when it treated Obama as a rockstar and acted as his advance men during much of the early campaign.
Once the momentum is on track, the celebrity-blinded public just followed the crowd without questioning. And the crown got bigger and bigger.
Belatedly when the media started to look into the truth of this rock star Obama, all the eyebrow-raising questions about this man did not matter anymore because the blind passion obstructed any fact and truth.
Hillary’s message and her contributions to America have been washed away by the tsunami of the mob passion.
ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF THE MOB WITH THE HELP OF MEDIA DRUMMER BOYS.
CONGRATULATIONS! AMERICA.

…and after having read the umpteen near-identical screed along these lines:

I have a son 16 years old!
I do not mind him to go to Iraq if he wishes to go!
I would have votedd for hillary but will never vote for Obama!
I’d rather being in Iraq 4 more years than living in a communist coutry under Obama admin!
Go McCain
Janet thanks for the link!
I just donated %10 for McCain!

…the only thing I’m convinced of is that there needs to be a mandatory intelligence test before one can use the internet, much less vote in a national election.



Behold, the horrors of Elfquest Fanfiction:

The Silent One

In the evening, Skywise saw Dilah returning from the gardens. He followed her to a tiny hut at the edge of the village. A white cat leaped from the windowsill and leaned against Dilah’s legs. She stopped to fondle it. Skywise knelt down, seemingly to pat the cat, but he let his hand touch Dilah’s. The female elf picked up the cat and snarled at him in a way that had become all too familiar. Skywise remained kneeling and looked up into her eyes with his eyes full of pleading, like a wolf puppy trying to convince its elf-friend that it is completely innocent of everything, especially chewing that new bow to splinters.

Dilah took hold of his hand and hoisted him up with surprising strength, then pressed him against the wall of her hut, and only then did she free her other hand by putting the cat on the windowsill. Skywise felt something cold touch his neck - the blade of Dilah’s knife. The girl was mad! Absolutely mad. And he was mad himself for getting interested in her. Finally she was pressing against his body, but not in the way he had dreamed of.

And then, suddenly, without moving the knife, she kissed him.


Mud Fight and Curious Hearts

Quill gave a little gasp and a growl as mud was flung in her face. There had been a rain, not a very long one, but it was still a rain. She and Darksun had found themselves walking out in the mud, then, feeling it between their toes. It was then that Darksun had jumped hard into a mud puddle and splashed Quill with mud. Now the two were covered head to toe in the stuff, having thrown much of it at each other. Even though they were quickly approaching the golden maturity of Adulthood, they still loved to play with each other. Darksun was a mere three years older than Quill, and though many maidens had sought his company in the furs recently, he wasn’t interested in any of them.

Darksun’s thoughts had turned to Quill. He noticed lately that she had begun to mature just as he. At sixteen turns, Quill had filled her body out quite nicely. The curve of her stomach, the swell of her breasts…All of it was appealing to Darksun’s eyes. And it was this that now distracted him when Quill tackled him into the mud.

Forgiveness

Aiyla smiled as she entered the restaurant Mark had chosen. It was one of the very few places she could get her food the way she enjoyed it. She sat down, looking around, then decided that it couldn’t hurt to get an appetizer for herself. She had not eaten, after all, since yesterday afternoon. She finally caught a waiter, and told him what she wanted, then sat back to wait. It was not long before she saw Mark’s handsome face in the doorway.

For a human, there was something awfully elfish about him. He was tall, and reminded her of some of the stories of the High Ones. There was an unconcious grace to him, and a cheerful nature that made her more than a little suspicious about his intentions. But he had never treated her with anything other than the utmost courtesy, and she tried to return the favor tenfold. All of her stories were sent in on-time or ahead of schedule. She never needed an editor. She agreed to appear at book signings from time to time, though that really held very little interest for her. And she was never truly angry with him. That was a feat for her by itself. Since leaving Rayek behind, it was difficult for her not to be angry with people, humans and elves alike. There was nowhere for the anger to turn, so it went outward, until she had driven away all but the closest of her friends. And now, she didn’t know if they were there.

She looked behind Mark, but saw no one. A sigh escaped her, and she waited for him to approach. “Mark,” she said, standing slightly until he sat. He grinned, his smile reaching her face, and bringing forth an answering smile. And for the billionth time she wondered why Rayek couldn’t have been more like Mark. Stuck as she was on her reverie, she didn’t really hear Mark’s words, and she didn’t see the woman approaching her. But that reverie ended when Aiyla heard her elven name spoken. “Shadowwalker, it’s good to see you again.”

Ringspell, Wolfcall

“What was that?!” one voice asked, as its owner turned his fear-filled gaze onto his peer, who stood shakily before them.

“I don’t know, Pip. And I hope we don’t find out. Are you two all right? I’m sorry if we frightened you by grabbing you like that.” A weary-looking youth said, apologetically.

“Think nothing of it. It is most likely that you saved our lives just now. I am Cutter, and this is my tribesman and friend, Skywise. We have traveled far, but have never met folk like you before.” Cutter said, honestly.

“Nor have we met elves like you. My name is Frodo Ba—er—Underhill, and these are my traveling companions, Samwise Gamgee, Meriadoc, or Merry, Brandybuck and Peregrin-Pippin-Took. We’re going to Bree to meet a friend. Would you like to come along with us?” the weary one asked, as the one called Samwise looked hopefully at them.

Across Two Worlds

“First?” Cutter asks, but already Leetah drifts away from him. It is a simple thing for a healer to do, to put himself or herself into a trance, and she does it now without thinking, letting her body writhe and scream as her spirit drifts free.

In the cool darkness of the spirit world, there is no pain and her thoughts are not constricted with the pettiness of suffering. As she drifts, she reminds herself that she loves Tam because of his wolf blood, not in spite of it. He is her anchor, her tie to this world. She, who was once so removed from physical sensation, who shielded herself from any kind of pain, now feels as he does. She reminds herself that it is his biggest gift to her.

And then she is not alone. The mind that brushes her is uncertain, untrained, pushed into a trance by a pain so deep Leetah can barely comprehend it.
