You know, I was thinking about posting something on this, but you beat me to it. That site is like a parody of macho bluster, isn't it? I mean, "powerline" is ok by itself, but add THE BIG TRUNK and HINDROCKET and it's just over the top. You know you're in trouble when "DEACON," which sounds like some minor Marvel character, is your best shot at respectability.
Serious compensation for some shortcoming or another going on with the naming conventions there. I'll bet they drive enormous SUVs, too.
The Big Trunk has a wife, you know. You know what she's called? She's called... Incontinentia. Incontinentia Buttocks.
Brutal dis by omission! Are you going to stand for that, Labs? (No wait, I get it.)
Marvel should really get around to having characters named after every Catholic liturgical function -- "Can the X-men face the wrath of... THE MONSIGNOR?!" "Crushed... by THE CANTOR!"
A Jewish cantor would be more awesomer. But it would be pretty cool if a supervillain got hold of The Cardinal and proposed to cut him up into discrete bits, the better to determine his cardinality. This supervillain would also be called Cantor.
This is a job for (da-da-da-dun-da-da) THE ALTARBOY!
Reminds me of an old review of a Tom Clancy book; the reviewer noted that the Jack Ryan character was a laughable cartoon of what every fat-assed Clancy reader wishes he was like, up to and including a codename of "The Swordsman." I was never able to read, let alone buy, a Clancy book after that.
I love Adam's idea, but you can't have a comic nowadays without throwing in...the Ayatollah.
I am sorry to admit that I found w-lfs-n's comment hilarious.
But the Ayatollah should be gay, totally.
Yeah, Labs, I laughed at the cardinality bit too. Damn you, w-lfs-n.
From here on in I shall be known as WOMENTAMER or MAJOR DUTCH.
My superkoranic fellatio power will FINISH YOU ALL.
That has to be the funniest incomprehensible-out-of-context thing I've ever read. I can barely look at "superkoranic" without going into convulsions.
The whole city has suddenly become very sleepy.
I disagree, ogged. I think the keys are "fellatio power" and the "abu". But "superkoranic" is pretty good too.
Can I now assume we were all News Radio fans back in the day?
Superkoranicphalluslickingexpialadocious.
Tim, I wasn't saying that was the best part, just that that was as far as I could go without laughing uncontrollably.
oh jeesus. Now I'm thinking Gayatolloah abu-labs against Cardinal Wantsyougboys in a Japanese hentai-style sex fight.
I think Apostropher's comment should by the by-line for Unfogged for today.
As long as we've gone all holy rolling up in this joint, have y'all seen Baby Got Book (scroll down for the link - it's ~13MB .wmv file)?
Me so holy.
There's also this.
Deeper than those stigmata
You know that I just gotta
Oh, Jesus I wanna get witcha
And read some scripture
My pastor tried to warn me
But with that Word you got
Make me re-born-y!
Now that's funny.
What percentage of people do you think visit Unfogged, look at the comments (like above), think to themselves, "Jeebus, what is wrong with these people," and promise themselves that they'll never visit again?
Is the rocket exiting or entering the Hind?
They're all a bunch of Bush Bend Over Buttboy Buddies so the names seem apt.

I do keep promising myself not to comment anymore - it's too hard to keep up, anyway. And now that I've changed my pseudonym, I think I'll stop. So I leave you with "The Vatican Rag".
"Finish" was good. I'm upset that I was only looking at the Kim Tran thread the last couple hours.
In order not to be racist, the Gayatollah would of course have to be a good guy -- unless they wanted to prove that they were super non-racist and thus could make the Gayatollah a bad guy without even considering that people might think that all homosexual Islamic clergy were evil. Kind of like how 24 was so daring this season in making the sassy black woman the "mole."
Thank you. Thank you all. Very much.
Superkoranic.
Thanks.
Are you kidding me? That comment is the high point of two years of blogging. You know Big Trunk likes it.
In a fair universe, "My superkoranic fellatio power will FINISH YOU ALL" would be as well-known as "All your base are belong to us."
Of course it isn't a fair universe, so the best we can hope for is that it reaches "Mr. T ate my balls" level.

Shouldn't that be 'All your ass belong to us'?
Anyways, for some reason (come reason? Oh, dear) I completely can't riff on the Hindrocket thing, probably because I cannot possibly take Powerline seriously and as a consequence, I can't really make fun of them. It's a lot like putting the milkshake over the retarded kid's head.
(Anyways, it belongs more in a band name: Andrew Sullivan and the Hindrockets, proud supporters of the Log Closet Republicans.)

No, man, you're going about this all wrong. The Gayatollah is like a Neitzschean Islamic gayboy, who is beyond Good and Bad Taste. Anyways, he goes around spreading Arab Democacy and superior avant-garde taste to the helpess masses, defeating the Evil Terrorists One Superfast Assrape at a Time! Faster than a speeding RPG, can leap fundamentalist slums in a single bound, AND he can wear pink shoes, orange pants and a bright yellow feather boa and make it look simply FABULOUS.
Anyways, like the Gayatollah has his Mission, which is to protect the helpless breeders from the predations of closeted pedophile fundamentalists, but always, because he's SuperGay, he can't have a normal relationship with his one true love, the conservative, closeted Hindrocket, who always seems to get into fashion trouble on his blog that the Gayatollah is having to rescue him from. (Agh.) Alas, poor Gayatollah.
'With great dick comes great responsibility.'
Well, that was tasteless.
Now I'm thinking Gayatolloah abu-labs against Cardinal Wantsyougboys in a Japanese hentai-style sex fight.
Is this one of those tentacle things? I'm sure somebody gets off on the idea of a cute girl (or boy) being choked by a huge dicklike tentacle, but none for me, thanks.
[Oh, yeah, I actually was going to comment on this because I thought you were more talking about adopting stupid psuedonyms, instead of Hindrocket's paranoid gay streak.
I don't have a blog, but on usenet, I tended to change my posting name on a regular basis (last change: from 'Emperor Norton Gojira III/I' to 'Six Dog Apocalypse'), which seems to annoy (unchangingly) psuedononymous people to no end. Never could get a handle on why, but after enough complaints, I started doing it more frequently, just to annoy people. You weren't talking about that so just ignore the bits between the brackets, and continue with the gay joke.]
I need more caffiene.

Isn't my choice of name to blog under particularly admirably imaginative? And cool?
No?

So, basically, he's a professional flunky and shit-eater.
Well, no wonder he's little frustrated. Shrinking the size of government on paycheck at a time.

Well, it would be if it was like Gay Barber, cuz then the evil Gay Barber could attempt to dethrone the Gayatolleh as the Gay uber-beefcake by offering like ultra-fast back-waxes and stuff (in issue #5, known as whathisname the writer took a vacation issue, so we're going to have a wall-to-wall bashfest) but of course it would turn out that he was collecting the back hair to build a humoungous Death Bear with which to destroy the world just because, really.
