“I’m blowing up all the touristy cheesesteak restaurants in Philly - _except Pat’s!_” said Tom, committing genocide.

I’ll give you some links and then you can go read your posts in those threads. Go to the threads, Ctrl F and search for Clothahump. It’s like William F. Buckley, Jr. but without the word padding:

It’s like Ogden Nash without rhyming.

You could collect these posts in a little book of sayings and sell them. They are like little gems from Nietzsche.

The " = " in your post is erroneous. The two spellings are (obviously!) not the same. One is the way he actually heads his posts, and the other isn’t.

Misspelling people’s names is a lapse in etiquette, at very least. I was wondering why you were engaging in the practice.

For some reason, I read this as “If I were an asshole for the Lakers”.

They probably have bigger needs in the frontcourt.

Welcome to the “disgusting piece of shit club”! (According to some folks who, unfortunately, have recently been subjected to a humorectomy.)

While I seldom shy away from a **Clothahump** roast, your comparisons to Buckley, Nietzsche, Nash, and the inestimable Curly Howard really are gilding the turd.

I realize we’re only on the cusp of September, but I’d like to be the first to formally nominate you for this year’s Adaher Prize for Excellence in the Art of Wrongness.

I thought tomndebb was a contraction for tom and debb. If that was an incorrect assumption and rude to boot, I apologize.

BTW, whats a trino?😉

And on founding the Clothahump Academy:

I would like to offer an alternative and open a private, non-religious high school. We would stress excellence in academics, with a goal of all graduating seniors scoring 650+ on the SATs for example. We would also stress leadership and life skills as well. Every teacher would have a degree in the subject taught; no one with a degee in education will be hired, because I want teachers, not “educators”.

And all this is entirely straightfaced (as far as I can tell), like Bill O’Reilly or Stephen Colbert, but without being on the money train. It’s like a backyard BBQ when your Great Grand Uncle brings along his new middle aged stepson who gets drunk and spouts Hannity and Beck all day and is dead serious and GG Uncle is laughing his ass off.

Even if it’s completely correct, it’s still changing the spelling of someone’s name.

FWIW, Trinopus was a character in a book. I guess he created three “works” of some sort. Three poems, three paintings, three symphonies? I dunno.

Anyway, a digression, and bordering on ATMB material, so we can drop it.
