I’m pretty sure Ralph posts from a potato.
Why don’t you ask him. Just send an email to ralph@aol.com.
This post has been Scandanavied by the Pinko Swede.
This reminded me of a goddamn dirty trick this motherfucker of a fuckhole used to do to people he was harassing. He would leaf through magazines on a news stand, take the fall out advertising crap and fill them out for “subscriptions” to his victims, and drop them in the mail. Next thing you know all these magazines show up and the victim has no idea how or why.
Evil fucking shit.
Threads like these give me hope for the future.
Wait a sec, though. If ralph would never read Mother Jones as he claims, how does he know they accuse ëvil big business of fraudulent tactics? I think he secretly does have a subscription (and pores over every issue intently), but to keep his wife from finding out, he had to make a big show of protest: “Whaaaaat? Me, read Mother Jones?! Ridiculous! Why, this is an outrage! Wait, no, no - don’t call the magazine! Why not? Uh… because, uh… because then they’ll have our phone number, too! Whew, that was close! No, I have a better idea… I’ll craft a scathing Pit thread! Yes! That will show them!”
Don’t worry, ralph. We’ll never reveal your secret.
I just can’t stop laughing at this.
You stopped, then?
Wait, wasn’t that one of Robert E. Howard’s characters? Umlaut the Uncivilized?
Often mistaken for his cousin, Diaeresis the Disgusting.
My fave Howard novel was always The Marauding Meataxe of Macron the Manbutcher.
Wow, you mean he has one of those new-fangled neural connections that allows him to post directly from his own head? Awesome.

And for spotting this unscrupulous use of the mailing list, Mother Jones rewarded ralph with a lifetime subscription. Or they would if there were justice in the Cosmos.
Maybe we should help the Cosmos out. Start a collection and I’ll contribute.
I love this thread.
???
What’s so evil about it. Just toss the mags and the bills in the trash can. Problem solved.
Everyone’s a diacritic.
Ralph, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t like it if someone talked about your mother that way.
And yeah, don’t ever read MJ. Printed words that don’t reinforce your political views are scary and will make you do things against your will.
Öbama.
The same thing happened to me with Cosmopolitan, right down to dumping it right in the recycling bin and trying to cancel.

As mentioned above, I threw away my Cosmos.
How do you throw away a whole cosmos?
And - how do you get one of your own?
Well, here, you just take this and put it on your tongue . . .
Mmmmm … cosmossy! Better than Star Bursts!
Not a good idea – he’d likely start looking to Goofus as a role model.
