Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

4:56am: "Don't wish to offend anyone..." **looks around** Too late....
Tribe fans are well known internally for being rather proud of the countries they come from for the most part. A thread started by Mamma seems to ruffle a few feathers. She reposts a rather humorous email she received with a joke about the USA reverting back to British control since we can't seem to hold elections correctly and the rules Americans will follow as a result. Most people get its a joke and have a good laugh. Then the whiners come in, telling people if you don't like the country, don't live here and if you aren't from the USA you can't have an opinion about it. Bonus points for nitpicking over sports played in the USA and whether or not they are played internationally.

ETA: Bonus "Bush is an idiot" / "Oh yeah, prove it!" wank sparked by a graphic.

7:54pm: "It's just a movie. Like. Fucking. Hell."
Uhhh ... whether me posting this is appropriate or not, I have no idea. So if it isn't, sorry.

It's just that I got my copy of "When a Fan Hits the Shit" in the mail a few days ago and even though I've read everything there is online about that wank that makes all other wanks look like wannabes (yes, after reading this book even the Crystal Apocalypse looks tame), I'm still desperately attempting to keep myself from hyperventilating with horrified laughter at some of the things in there.

Probably worst of all is the VB/OB chat transcript. How the ...? It boggles the mind.

Here's VB quoting her "Master" (don't ask me!! it's some sort of psychic channeling shit) after showing her footage of the actors:

I will give you my first impressions of the others for now, but remember, love, video tape is not the best means of this. I really should be meeting your boys if I am to be any more than accurate in the broadest strokes. [me: whatever the fuck that means.] Mr. McKellen seems to bear the spirit of Zeus, wise and a bit naughty. Mr. Wood needs nothing more than video tape, in truth. I could have done it from a photograph. His spirit is a pure Wood Elf stronger and truer than any I have seen in many an age. What he's doing here, I do not know. He does not belong. The stout fellow is of Baldir and the Great Mother, and Mr. Wood's two companions both carry streaks of Faerie wider than they are tall, that apparently not being much to say.

And after some dissection of this stunning spiritual analysis, VB effuses,

"It's just a movie. Like. Fucking. Hell. ... There are energies being tapped here that I can't even begin to comprehend, nor to fathom why."

And Abbey/OB replies "*tremuloulsy*" (her stupid spelling error, not mine) "If this is just a movie just a book .just. then I'm the Queen of Spain."

10:19pm: Hail to the Wank
(I'm popping my wank cherry here and am not a member of political_wank, but if this is better suited there, I'll move it. Honestly, though, in my mind the sheer wacky devotion shown by JDR's fans makes the Creatrix a fandom unto herself.)

Now, if you've been a member of Fandom Wank or simply lurked (as I have) for longer than a few months, you're probably aware of Jennifer Diane Reitz and the Olympic swimming pool sized tubs of creamy spooge that make up the Unicorn Jelly forums. And what happened on November 2nd? Oh. That's right. Bush won the election.

JDR and the forum kids are, uh, less than pleased. A topic springs up in nearly every sub-forum wherein people wail and gnash their teeth. A forum devoted entirely to politics is created, and there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. A cartoon featuring questionable draft intelligence and even more questionable artistic skill is drawn by JDR. Some dissent (shockingly enough) is shown at the sweeping brush Ms. Reitz paints young voters with. Some, however, agree readily with JDR's scribble (unshockingly enough) and claim they are ready and willing to pack their bags and flee the tyrannical dictatorship of Amerika.

Enter Big Earl who really, really, REALLY hates JDR's scribble and is disappointed in how spazzy all the forum kiddies are acting. The forum kiddies spazz at Big Earl. Big Earl spazzes back. And the epic of Unicorn Jelly in its quest to become an event horizon of bukkake continues ever onward.

BONUS WHINE: JDR had a mild heart attack in September or so, and after two months of no heavyhanded comic, she lets everybody know that she's recovering. Also that scary death looms everywhere and drawing said heavyhanded comic while doing absolutely nothing else with her life besides sitting at home and watching anime/playing video games was way, way, way too stressful and hard and caused her heart to try to escape her body.

ADDENDUM: JDR "apologizes" to youth for her comic. But only to the ones that voted Kerry. If they voted for Fuhrer Bush they are still DAMNED EVIL WICKED BIGOTED KKKRISTIAN KKKIDS JUST LIKE THEIR BREEDER PARENTS!
