Aiiiigggght

For all the (loose) marbles, we present

LOREN78 - An alleged black guy who recently learned how to use that great new invention - the Interweb - and now no longer leaves his basement apartment on the outskirts of Toronto.

"MR MJ" - Who has petulantly refused to post within the PoliticoPub since it became surprisingly clear he is viewed as at least one of the Top Two Kooks in our friendly PoliticoPub.

I'll be back during the coming seven days to post links to threads from the past 12 months which highlight in stunning detail just why these two individuals each in their own way merit the lifetime cyber tattoo of 2008 Kook of the Year.

 

[barman]

Sticking to my guns....

Lauren is absolutely worthy of #2 Kook...but even she does not believe half the sillyness she posts...especially the parts about being Black and being a Guy

MR MJ, otoh, I think honestly believes that the off the path items he posts represent some connection to mainstream thinking even though his currently Hot News Topic of the day is more often than not dead in the water just a few weeks later

ALL VOTES public in this here final voting thread

Please avoid this poll and this thread unless you can promise to be cereal.

 

[punter]

Hey Fletch, there used to be a dart team in town called the "dead horse" for obvious reasons.

Bar, I am going to exercise my American right to not vote.

 

[eek.]

Lo-ren Lo-ren Lo-ren

wooooooooooooooooooooo

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Super Hot topics created by LOREN78 to follow in the interest of Fair & Balanced polling

 

[pubguy]

if Loren doesn't win this thing I will be very surprised!

 

[Preussen]

Some weeks ago I'd have absolutely agreed with you. But recently Loren has acted in a way that implied he doesn't really believe all the strange things he posts. MJ, on the other hand, always appears absolutely convinced of his stories and point of views, no matter how many holes people poked in them. And if this is the situation then I'll take the fanatic over the clown in this poll.

Who told you I don't believe the things I post....? You need to go back and check the history....When I tell you the Vatican owns you...I mean it....When I tell you no planes hit the WTC...I fucking mean it....Fuck the Kook of the year....you need to know I mean that shyt....everybody needs to know I mean that shyt....this aint a fucking joke....Wait to the foot riots begin....you'll find out how much of it I really meant....

Like I'm here to keep to you entertained? Fuck I look like to you? A Court Jester? lol.........You can find thousands of books that have been suppressed or the public is too stupid to read that discusses the things I say....

 

[barman]

LOREN sputters: Who told you I don't believe the things I post....?

B: It's pretty obvious that even you realize much of it is just silly, provocative forum chatter. All good...we benefit from the traffic

L: ..you need to know I mean that shyt....everybody needs to know I mean that shyt....this aint a fucking joke

B: Sure. Sure it's not.

L:....Wait to the foot riots begin....you'll find out how much of it I really meant....

B: Oh no...not the foot riots! Weren't they supposed to begin late last summer?

Or was it Oct 23?

So hard to keep track when you keep changing the dates.

L: Like I'm here to keep to you entertained?

B: duh

L: Fuck I look like to you? A Court Jester?

B: if the shoe fits and all that....

 

[barman]

Props to Lauren for getting over versus a very strong crowd of contenders

 

[festeringZit]

Am I the only one who sees the irony that a kook like Barman is
moderating this thread?

Barman, who pushes "responsible" LSD use, as well as admitting
to sitting at his kitchen table while he talks to dead people.

hno:

hno:

Responsible use of drugs is certainly much smarter than irresponsible use. Though you're not a user of LSD, I'm sure that you would agree that when using one of your drugs of choice - alcohol - you too would "push" responsible use rather than irresponsible.

And just because you aren't able to communicate with people who have passed from this plane doesn't mean that others cannot.

Next December if you're in charge of the KOY voting, you can feel welcome to add me to the list of candidates.

 

[TotalRecall]

Congrats to you Loren- the only guy I consider as much a kook as me. Youll make a great KOY Im sure of that.


Now - get to work! Theres 8 million far out stories that need to be told.:toast:
