But that will be no fun.; १०/८/११, ८:३४ AM
David म्हणाले...: "I thought that Alpha was the favorite target."

Garage shows occasional humility. Alpha? Never.

This is a good day to be humble, Garage. Show your human side. We will embrace you.; १०/८/११, ८:३५ AM
Curious George म्हणाले...: garage mahal said...

Right, garbage?; १०/८/११, ८:४० AM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Garage pass out at Michael's Frozen Custard last night. I guess it's pretty serious.; १०/८/११, ८:४० AM
I'm Full of Soup म्हणाले...: hahaha good one!; १०/८/११, ८:४१ AM

Roger J. म्हणाले...: in the interests of full disclosure Garage and I are poles apart politically--but he is a decent guy plus I am getting a commission on referring him to my friends place in the bahamas (joke)

Garage and I remain friends on a level outside the blog environment--he's a good guy; १०/८/११, ९:०० AM

I think he knows how I felt in Nov '08.; १०/८/११, ९:१० AM
ex-madtown girl म्हणाले...: Michael's has nothing on Kopp's. Just thought I'd put that out there.; १०/८/११, ९:१६ AM
caplight म्हणाले...: group hug!; १०/८/११, ९:१९ AM
Curious George म्हणाले...: Come gather 'round lefties
At the Capitol dome
And admit that the recalls
Have brought a new gloam
And accept it that soon
What most of Wisconsin has known.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better stop protestin’
Cuz you’re sunk like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.; १०/८/११, ९:३० AM
Bushman of the Kohlrabi म्हणाले...: Unlike most of the resident lefties, garage makes this place more interesting. I'm glad he survived the night.; १०/८/११, ९:३१ AM
bagoh20 म्हणाले...: I wish I was either smart enough or stupid enough to get such Althouse acclaim. I really don't care which. Fame is it's own reward.

Now he's a leftist martyr for carrying the flag.; १०/८/११, ९:३५ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Garage pass out at Michael's Frozen Custard last night. I guess it's pretty serious."

HA!!; १०/८/११, ९:४१ AM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: Now he's a leftist martyr for carrying the flag.

Think of it as affirmative action for the reasoning-impaired.; १०/८/११, ९:५० AM
Fen म्हणाले...: Meh. Not going to kick him when he's down.; १०/८/११, ९:५६ AM
KCFleming म्हणाले...: Good to see you back, Garage.; १०/८/११, ९:५७ AM
madAsHell म्हणाले...: Garage and I remain friends on a level outside the blog environment

Garage is a real person?? Why does he hang out here?; १०/८/११, ९:५९ AM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: Hey Garage Mahal is allright with me.

He just has to get over his totally mistaken and misguided views.

He has to realize that the New York Giants are going to win the Super Bowl.; १०/८/११, १०:०२ AM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: The Green Packers are being recalled.; १०/८/११, १०:०३ AM
bagoh20 म्हणाले...: Garage, walk toward the light!; १०/८/११, १०:२३ AM
Pastafarian म्हणाले...: You know, of the liberal Althouse commenters, only garage can take anyone having fun at his expense. I've never seen anything close to self-deprecation from Alpha, or Ritzy Brassiere (whatever happened to that guy?), or Cooke.; १०/८/११, १०:२७ AM
purplepenquin म्हणाले...: I often wondered if Ann was serious with her commentary or if she simply liked stirring the pot and rousing the rabble.

This post seems to answer that question pretty clearly.; १०/८/११, १०:४७ AM
bagoh20 म्हणाले...: We do need more lefties here, a lot more. I'm not suggesting a breeding program, but maybe Althouse could beat on Bush for a while to lure them in. Maybe a post along the lines of:

"Bush seen with Palin on corporate jet hunting polar bears with assault rifles."; १०/८/११, १०:५० AM
Kirk Parker म्हणाले...: Making fun of a guy on suicide watch? Have you no shame???; १०/८/११, १०:५१ AM
DADvocate म्हणाले...: My head hurts.

Take two apsirin and don't call me in the morning.

Nothing surprises me in Wisconsin any more, except sanity.; १०/८/११, १०:५३ AM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: This post seems to answer that question pretty clearly.

You mean this post that's drawn only 11 more comments than a webisode of Mendocino Forest Rangers, with most of the comments being sympathetic to garage?

I feel confident that I speak for all the rabble here when I thank you for deigning to toss your pearls of wisdom before us.; १०/८/११, ११:०८ AM
Christopher in MA म्हणाले...: "My head hurts."

Banging it against the wall all night will do that, garage.; १०/८/११, ११:०९ AM
Pastafarian म्हणाले...: bagoh's right, Althouse. You need to throw the lefties some red meat. There aren't enough of them left around here to make it sporting.

It's really not Althouse's fault, it's ours. We need to exercise a little restraint next time. Maybe we should issue permits, and you have to tag your liberal douchebag immediately after eviscerating him.; १०/८/११, ११:०९ AM
Fen म्हणाले...: We do need more lefties here, a lot more.

They don't last long.; १०/८/११, ११:३२ AM
SJL म्हणाले...: Trooper York - I thought you were a Steelers fan. If not, you should be.; १०/८/११, ११:४० AM
Hoosier Daddy म्हणाले...: "...Ritzy Brassiere (whatever happened to that guy?),..."

Beard of the Prophet! Don't say his name! Didnt you ever see Candyman?!; १०/८/११, ११:५२ AM
Chennaul म्हणाले...: Well Alpha Liberal engaged in premature ..gloating.

And Houston the Republicans do have a problem-even though they have a majority of one-

didn't Schultz or someone with a name like that vote with the Democrats?

So .....ya. Would be nice to have a greater margin than the one vote.

********

In defense of garage-

I didn't read all of the threads yesterday-but in the one I did see-within minutes he admitted he wasn't that positive and then he made a rather cogent prediction of the outcome-

Here's the replay-

No I'm not sure. And less confident than two weeks ago. Dems are playing on GOP turf, and they need to win 3 out of 6. Not easy.

Chip S.,
It is an ancient union thug,
And he stoppeth one of three.
"By thy long grey beard and purple shirt,
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?"

That was great!

Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks for the specifics-national news is rather distracted right now.

Bushman of the Kohlrabi said...
You probably don't need to worry Garage. Like the Democrats, the Republicans ran away from the budget issue. Big mistake for them. It reduced the races to smear campaigns on both sides. That tends to turn off all but the most organized voters.

"No, I'm not sure. And less confident than two weeks ago."

So much for trying to channel America's Politico, eh, garage?

In order to do so accurately, you have to mention "burning" and "in their tanks" at least a couple times a day.

I predict two Dem wins [Shilling King], two GOP wins [Harsdorf Cowles], and two recounts. [Darling/Pasch - Olsen/Clark]

That's not that far off.; १०/८/११, १२:१६ PM
Chennaul म्हणाले...: I get that everyone is having fun trash talking but that was about the only solid prediction made, and he didn't do that bad.; १०/८/११, १२:२२ PM
Blue@9 म्हणाले...: "My head hurts."

It's been hurting all of us for a while now.; १०/८/११, १२:२७ PM
Hoosier Daddy म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; १०/८/११, १२:२९ PM
Original Mike म्हणाले...: I'm puzzled as to why garage isn't on here pushing some crap voter fraud link.; १०/८/११, १२:३२ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: "Voter fraud" is a tough sell when you lose by 54-46 percent. Nobody thinks Kathy Nickolaus is that talented.; १०/८/११, १२:४७ PM
Hoosier Daddy म्हणाले...: "...Meh. Not going to kick him when he's down..."

My God....we lost Fen....; १०/८/११, १२:४९ PM

All hail Garage Mahal!
Like Dick Nixon after the 1960 election, who will we have to kick around anymore?; १०/८/११, १२:४९ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: Just like Nixon, garage will return. Tanned, rested, and ready. With his superfriend, Agnew Liberal.; १०/८/११, १२:५२ PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: "My God....we lost Fen...."

I know! If ever we could count on someone to kick a guy when he's down, it was Fen! Ooh-rah!

At least we still have Shouty. He's always willing to land that extra boot-blow on a guy writhing on the ground and bleeding from the ears.; १०/८/११, १:०० PM
Scott M म्हणाले...: Just like Nixon, garage will return. Tanned, rested, and ready. With his superfriend, Agnew Liberal.

Don't you mean Headless Body Of Agnew?; १०/८/११, १:०२ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: If we're going with headless bodies, I'll take Ted Williams.

Whoops. Ted's a bodiless head.; १०/८/११, १:०७ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: Again, just like Nixon.; १०/८/११, १:०९ PM
Scott M म्हणाले...: If we're going with headless bodies, I'll take Ted Williams.

Isn't he technically a bodiless head?; १०/८/११, १:०९ PM
Original Mike म्हणाले...: "I know! If ever we could count on someone to kick a guy when he's down, it was Fen! Ooh-rah!"

I'll do it. The dick was blowing his mouth off for months.

This is what democracy looks like, loser.; १०/८/११, १:१० PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; १०/८/११, १:१५ PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: garage mahal said... "My head hurts."

I know the feeling. I survived a similar ghastly night in good company. Now, nearly three years later, and certainly not coincidentally, my ghastly nights are spent a few shelves lower, in the company of rougher, meaner companions.; १०/८/११, १:१७ PM
Carol_Herman म्हणाले...: Well, exactly what was the professor doing? Teaching? Seems to me he was "playing out the clock," by seeking a student because he saw an empty chair.

I didn't see the movie.

Do professors still you black chalk boards?

Didn't students belong to sororities and fraternities ... because there were "houses" that held test answers?

Meanwhile, I hope Garage comes back.

In shopping malls, too, you want to see a whole variety of customers. Not empty spaces, which in the past had been filled by cars.

The name calling bullies here are all ass holes. They collect like bubbles in a glass of water, though. You know why? Canada Dry put a pretty girl on a rock. Gazing into the water. And, this sold what's in the bottle, because people think they're gonna find the naked girl, inside.

Then? They join a club. Is beer the beverage of choice, there?

Meanwhile, I like a house with a garage. No room left, though, to park my car, inside.; १०/८/११, १:२१ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: No, Carol. Canada Dry, oddly enough, has an image of North America on its label.

You're thinking of White Rock, as discussed on this very site last week.; १०/८/११, १:३० PM
chickelit म्हणाले...: Meanwhile, I like a house with a garage. No room left, though, to park my car, inside.

Not having basements, many Californians use their garage as such.

Not me though, of course.; १०/८/११, १:३० PM
chickelit म्हणाले...: @ChipS. Perhaps Carol just misremembered.

I did that the other day. Nobody caught it yet.; १०/८/११, १:३२ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: I'm sure you're right, CL, but it seems to be such a vivid image for her that I thought I'd help her find it.

I'm afraid she might be wasting money on Canada Dry when she could be buying White Rock.; १०/८/११, १:३६ PM
Chennaul म्हणाले...: This thread is ....funny as hell.

Come back to the five and dime-

garage!; १०/८/११, १:३७ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: Actually, I'm disappointed that Carol doesn't seem to have been a fan of the greatest soda brand of them all, Clicquot Club. Not only did it have a cool logo, it even sponsored a banjo orchestra.; १०/८/११, १:४३ PM
Chennaul म्हणाले...: Laphroaig!

Put that in your ginger-or maybe not.

I think garage might be a redhead.; १०/८/११, १:४३ PM
chickelit म्हणाले...: I'm afraid she might be wasting money on Canada Dry when she could be buying White Rock.

Canada Dry makes OK tonic for G&T's...

What do you suggest instead?; १०/८/११, १:४४ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: Schweppes. Accept no substitute for your G&Ts.; १०/८/११, १:४९ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: And I buy White Rock club soda, just for the label.

What the hell, it's only club soda.; १०/८/११, १:५१ PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; १०/८/११, १:५३ PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: Any tonic water mixed with good English gin is good. I do rather like Fentimans tonic water, though.; १०/८/११, १:५४ PM
Hoosier Daddy म्हणाले...: Gin gives me the shits so I stick with bourbon.; १०/८/११, १:५५ PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: Now there's a nugget of, uh, information I could have done without...; १०/८/११, २:०३ PM

Could be juniper beriberi. Try switching brands.; १०/८/११, २:०८ PM

Chip S. म्हणाले...: I'd guess that Herman Carol adds nothing to his liquor aside, perhaps, from ice cubes made from distilled rainwater.

And he listens to John Cage's 4'33" as he sips.; १०/८/११, २:१५ PM
Scott M म्हणाले...: "I think garage might be a redhead."

If he is, he's a rogue.; १०/८/११, २:१५ PM

Sorry. I didn't mean to go all Titus on everyone.; १०/८/११, २:१७ PM

Troll or Orc?; १०/८/११, २:१९ PM
Scott M म्हणाले...: Troll or Orc?

Nerd.; १०/८/११, २:२० PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: "If he is, he's a rogue."

Or a rouge.; १०/८/११, २:२२ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: Nerd.

FTW!

Or is it a save?; १०/८/११, २:२२ PM
Hoosier Daddy म्हणाले...: "...Nerd. FTW! Or is it a save?.."

Let me roll. I have a +5 to saving throws.; १०/८/११, २:३५ PM
Scott M म्हणाले...: Let me roll. I have a +5 to saving throws.

BASED ON WHAT? There's is zilch on your character sheet that shows that.; १०/८/११, २:३८ PM

How about garotte mahal? That chokes me up.; १०/८/११, २:४० PM
Chennaul म्हणाले...: rogue, rouge...

Yikes! I'm still trying to figure out the damn honey badger thing.; १०/८/११, २:४१ PM

What the flying hell...

I would say something like-

"for realz" but you really can't make that up.; १०/८/११, २:४८ PM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: All the thread references to redheads must have triggered the wv algorithm to search for dead head Reds.; १०/८/११, २:४९ PM
Hoosier Daddy म्हणाले...: "...BASED ON WHAT? There's is zilch on your character sheet that shows that..."

It's from the Helm of Teflon Bill that dropped.during the quest to defeat the SEIU Overload.

You know we should come up with a new RPG game called Dungeons and Democrats. Just designing the Monster Manual would provide hours of hilarity and enjoyment.

Hell we can even make garage a rare monster that drops random roadkill recipies.; १०/८/११, २:५५ PM
mariner म्हणाले...: madawaskan,
Laphroaig!

Put that in your ginger-or maybe not.

Laphroaig?! In ginger ale?!!!

Say it ain't so!; १०/८/११, ४:२६ PM
Chennaul म्हणाले...: (your ginger)

I should have said "our" ginger-

mahal...

Plus why Laphroaig when you could get him for cheap?

Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill?

Somehow..I believe that's what hippies drink.

Don't really know-hazarding a guess.; १०/८/११, ८:२७ PM
Fen म्हणाले...: "If he is, he's a rogue."

Or a rouge.

Oh god, thats a recurring gripe on the DDO forums.; १०/८/११, ९:१३ PM
