Here at BDB’s we can’t even afford one troll. I have talked to BDB and wonder if we all pooled our resources we could pay for a part-time troll. I know this is a free site and we can’t have all the dohickeys but maybe a Go-Fund-Page would help. Any idea how much money we need to raise?
I think it would be good to have a job description so that we get our money’s worth. Would you help compiling the Daily Troll Tasks for our Little Man With An Attitude? (This is a generic “Man” we don’t care if it is a “Little Woman”. )
- Needs to know the art of SeaLioning. (No I don’t have a citation for this. ;-))
2. Healthy state of inflated ego. (I am thinking 200 psi.)
3. Humility. Ex. I am sorry and apologize for your stupidity that forced me to go into “Under The Bridge Mode”.
4. Hyper-sensitivity Ex. They not only see through lead they see things that are not even there.
I think every day he should push at least one person on the site to bet on something they don’t want to bet on. Let’s call him Sal.
Those who know him well call him Sally.
Ex ray vision. Can see in our hearts to things we ourselves don’t even know are there.
JJ, you forgot they have to bump into furniture as they are telling us what is in our hearts. And complain about stubbing their toes.

“I’m not trolling. Really. I want to know…”
“Charlie Brown, I really won’t pull the football away from you this time.”
Before he provides any facts for his argument he should insist you denounce Nazis, to the degree at which he is satisfied.
But don’t you have to agree with him or he will not be satisfied that you denounce Nazis. (Hey, weren’t the Nazis like this so if you agree with him you are really in favor of Nazi tactics therefore pro-Nazi in a way.)
Trolls have two headed coins but are really open-minded because they flip the coin in public.
‘Trolls have two headed coins but are really open-minded because they flip the coin in public.’
That’s pretty good!
‘specially coming from a dime.
[Brent, did you see this compliment? ]
Thanks, Pencil.
I may seem pointy, but I have a heart of graphite.
I avert my gaze from that which is favorable to the sock
Brent, it is okay. You are a trained pilot so you can do it on instruments. BTW, do you still fly? I mean in a plane.
I haven’t in years. I still have a commercial, multi-engine, land, no restrictions rating.

Bobby ‘We’re all Nazis now’ Zubrin says … well, that we’re all Nazis now and there’s no use in denying it. Only by casting La Grande Orange into the flames of eternal damnation can we expiate our Neo-Nazi, Nouveau-Fascist impulses. First, we audit, then impeach, and finally comes the soul cleansing and life affirming auto-da-fé. An exorcism may be necessary as well, you can never tell when dealing with demonic Neo-Crypto-Fascisto-National Socialism.
This accomplished, the good Dr. Z can return to his life’s work, leaving for Mars. I have a list of people I like to see go with him, including a few over there at Not Necessarily Worth the Price of of a Grande Caffè Latte at the flagship Starbucks in Seattle.com.
PS, I am not now, nor have I ever been a Troll. But a Garden Gnome? Sure, what can I say, I was young, impressionable and working as a nurseryman in a university arboretum; it was sort of an occupational hazard.
What is the difference between a Gnome and a Troll? Do they ever let you in the house, Vald?
*** Love this
“people I like to see go with him…” Huh, when I’m not channeling Tonto, this translates to: “people I’d like to see go with him.”
:))
Vald, your Tonto channeling is the best part of your writing. Or so I have been told.
Bad-faith enforcer: he must assume the worst about everybody with whom he disagrees.
Gnat-strainer: must locate and loudly announce tiny flaws in opponent’s argument, including spelling and punctuation errors.
Won’t we need flags before we hire trolls?

I nominate Pencil to be an unpaid with a terrible attitude “I will teach you peons and Brent that I am morally superior to you.” Volunteer. (Soon as we get PMs she will hassle us there.)

Yes, but the beauty is the flags won’t work. We don’t want to lose our troll.
“I am shutting down this thread because our troll is unhappy or because I am on a break and my coffee is getting cold I forget which.”

I think there should be a badge “Peon Watcher” for Pencil. (Pencil, don’t forget to tell us how overworked you are.)
Yes, it’s really a thankless job, being Chief Kabosh-Swinger, especially while living here in this Parisian campground; but my 7 hamsters seem to enjoy watching me swing the kabosh so repetitively that it starts boring into tents, so for the nonce I will slog on.
Are you part of Gay Parree?
When people ask you questions why do you go wee-wee?
I don’t want to suggest that Vald should be Kaboshed because I am not that type of person. He does hate hamsters and is head of The Cabal.
Not so you hose-er, I have cut the cabal and banished Comcast from my bat cave forever. No great sacrifice really, in the end I was down to ESPN and Syfy; the former went full SJW and the latter was all Sharknado marathons all the time.
PS – I have no opinion on hamsters though I suspect my cat might enjoy them.
See, Vald denies it because he is GUILTY. He didn’t even denounce the Nazis, Pencil. Warm up the Kabosh!
Pencil, do you ever get tired of dealing with wrong thinking peons. Flagtigue?
Did anyone even get my joke about repetitively, boring and tents? I am wasting my pencil point here.
Now, I get it. My threads are never repetitive, boring, or tense so I have reasons for not getting it. Also it is hard to concentrate when a Kabosh is being swung wildly.
