  However...

  ... if anyone wanted to call OOTB's mom and tell them that their imbecile child is on the computer spewing nastiness, again, and she really out to put the little rodent back into time out, I'd give that a golf-clap of approval.

  "Apes don't read philosophy!"
  
  "Yes they do, Otto, they just don't understand it."
  
  You may have staggered here, but your contributions are little more than the random banging on the keys of a few drunken monkeys. You certainly make no sense, are nowhere near on-topic, and generally are as desired as a syphilitic pecker at a nude beach.

  wait...

  This site covers stuff BESIDES Prenda?
  
  IS there anything else worth reading besides this Prenda deliciousness? Schadenfreude's my favorite seasoning!

  Re: Actual inventor of the podcast...

  Sooooo... it's Doug Kaye's fault (for not patenting his idea) that we suffer this Trollish Fool?

• On the post: Law Schools Team Up To Help Developers Fight Patent Trolls

  

  gyffes ( profile ), 09 Oct, 2013 @ 09:33pm

  NOOOOOOOOO!

  This is just some cruel trick to make it SLIGHTLY less difficult for me to loathe lawyers (is the galactic "shoot on sight" authorization still in effect?)!
  
  WAAAH!
  
  Heeey, wait, OOTB, isn't a lawyer, is it?

• On the post: Team Prenda Tries To Flip The Story Of John Steele's Mother-in-Law To Make Alan Cooper Look Bad

  

  gyffes ( profile ), 08 Oct, 2013 @ 04:33am

  awww

  They're not even TRYING. This case has lost its luster: they're so intellectually vacant they can't even raise amusing points, anymore.

  where DID you think ootb went to school?

• On the post: Another Teen's Facebook 'Threat' Results In Criminal Charges Being Filed

  

  gyffes ( profile ), 12 Sep, 2013 @ 12:56pm

  Actually

  he's like a lot of other disaffected teens in his attitude. He just was foolish enough to FB his ranty whiney feelings. I was exactly like this a thousand years ago in my vapid youth: angry (no, FURIOUS) at the world and totally willing to lash out at any body and any thing that glanced my way. Beyond a lot of fights, didn't end up doing much more than being an unpleasant menace, however, and eventually grew up. I'm sure there are thousands more like him skulking the halls of high schools everywhere. It's one of the Big Four teenage behavior patterns (Judd Nelson in the Breakfast Club was our hero 'til he wimps out at the end of the movie).
  
  Not a federal offense, but I can tell you that had I had access to weaponry, THINGS might've ended differently. I'm ok with the police and school acting cautiously with this and similar kids.

  gyffes ( profile ), 10 Sep, 2013 @ 12:34pm

  All I can do

  is repeat the comment someone wittier than I made, "I won't believe a corporation is a person until Texas executes one."
  
  
  And if it wanted to start with ootb, I wouldn't object.

  Re: Re:

  As well as all readers of this blog, because he told us about it and we didn't immediately gouge our eyes out.
  
  Although if ootb were to, I'd applaud...

• On the post: DailyDirt: Can We At Least Agree On The Meanings Of Words?

  

  gyffes ( profile ), 28 Aug, 2013 @ 07:34pm

  The irony is

  people dumb enough to conflate the two don't know how to look words up in the dictionary.

• On the post: The NFL Will Feel The Streisand Effect After Pressuring ESPN To Pull Out Of Frontline Documentary

  

  gyffes ( profile ), 26 Aug, 2013 @ 06:51am

  Thanks for the link, Fish

  but I've not watched the NFL the same way since Goodell took over. He's just too ham-handed in every conceivable way.
  
  Anyone concerned about the state of labor unions should be appalled at how Roger et al use their monopoly to bully their laborers. (yeah yeah, many are millionaires, but it doesn't make their treatment at the hands of their "owners" less reprehensible).

• On the post: Dr. Oz Claims Violent Video Games 'Hurt' Teens; Backs Up Claims With Absolutely Nothing At All

  Re: And yet...

  TV.
  
  propagainment shows like 24 hammered into the sheep the concept that terrorism is SO bad that it's OK to torture them if it saves us. Because, well, terrorism.
  
  The worst thing one can say of Obama is he hasn't closed Gitmo or sought repeal of the Patriot Acts. These Bush-era nightmares are blights on our collective soul (not the 90s-era band) and detract from our ability to wave our finger at the Chinese et al for THEIR human rights violations.
  
  24 and shows of its ilk that justify (glamorize?) torture without repercussion are far more insidious -- and widely viewed -- than any video games.
