> [@John\_Mace](#): > > OK, I listened to the audio just out of morbid curiosity, and just as I thought. These guys are laughing as they say this, and it’s a big, stupid joke about how Brown talked about his daughters being “available”, etc. > > I’m just not seeing any “there” here. It’s a stupid joke by a guy who makes his living blathering all day. Got a point there, **John-Boy.** Listening to the actual speaking adds a tone of “Beavis and Butthead” that provides a crucial context. Not weird enough to tear the fabric of space-time, but still pretty strange dissonance about the Massachusetts Messiah. Half the Pubbies in the country are jerking off to his nude photospread while “Hail to the Chief” plays through the earphones! But yer right, clearly more adolescent humor than political …whatever. ---

Having now listened to the “tape,” dammit if I don’t feel a certain kinship with the guy, being no stranger myself to adolescent humor and jokes gone horribly wrong. And as it happens, my two daughters are also available for rent. Stellar references. ---

That Cosmo picture is super gay. You’re a Republican Senator now, dude. Keep it in the airport men’s room. Don’t be so obvious. ---

Speaking of Glenn Beck, _Newsweek_ quotes him as responding “Bullcrap” when Sarah Palin answered the question “Who’s your favorite founding father?” with “All of them.” That sounds uncharacteristic for him. Anyone know the context? ---

I don’t think anybody seriously wants to give him a mod hat. Not _yours_, at any rate. ---

I think we had it bronzed. If we’re out of hats, can we get him an “Official Mini-Mod Cockring”? I think it would better serve his purposes anyway. ---

> [@tomndebb](#): > > You guys DO know that you’re just feeding him, right? If I were calling out this pack of morons for attention, you’d be right. Of course, you’re one of those that can’t seem to comprehend (at least from what I read about your GD exploits) that people who disagree with you might be serious – they _have_ to be trolls. Of course, posting things in the pit where it seems 99% of people are going to agree with you and say “Oh, my, you sure showed that Glenn Beck! _HUGS_” seems to be a cry for attention itself. And nice on the whole troll accusation. Before you try to pull some “explanation” out of your ass about how you meant something else, it’s pretty clear you’re not talking about feeding in the sense of buying me a fucking Blizzard from Dairy Queen. You have the luxury of being a mod. If you sincerely believe I am trolling rather than trying to express my disdain for the load of crap that these people think is pit-worthy, then why haven’t you done anything about it? Or is it just easy to throw out “troll” because you don’t have a good comeback? It’s one thing for the usual crowd of imbeciles to bandy about accusations of trollery; _you_ doing the same is a lot more dishonest. Somehow, though, I doubt that a distinction more subtle than a cinder block to the face will get through to the (to borrow a phrase) Pit Cop Police Crew, or to you. And I don’t want to be a mod. I do want people to stop using the pit to, well, _troll_ for approval from their clique and crying like little girls when someone calls them out on it. ---

Why would I deny it? This is the **Pit** , cheap shots are the norm, and I saw a low hanging fruit. It seems to have riled you up, though, so that is a plus. (Note that in the **Pit** , it is expected that “troll” is just name calling while we expect _actual_ trolling to be reported.) ---
