Wasting time, SHoP-style!

Greetings!

So yes, I was at my real job yesterday. The one that pays me.

Well, I'm always @ my job, it's just that for the first time in a long time, I had work to do. This entailed driving the entire bay area circuit yesterday. As such, I was away from my computer. No Jihad Jimmy. This is why the SHoP was sans The Notorious J.A.M.E.S. yesterday. Hope you didn't cry yourselves to sleep.

But I was able to receive e-mail, yes, and lo and behold, somebody was spamming the e-mail list of people who applied for credentialing for some blogger-dealie. Not sure exactly, but this is the most likely explanation.

And as somewhat of a joke, I applied a few weeks back and was subsequently refused. Good thing too, as I had stuff to do that weekend...

So yes, bloggers. Spam. Jihad Jimmy mysteriously thrown into the mix. What else are people to do but start hawking their own blogs? Armed with a huge distribution list, people started e-mailing links to each other. While this was appreciated, some took none-too-kindly to this and several requests to stop using "Reply All" were made.

Despite my initial annoyance, I realized that what the thread needed was a liberal dose of the Jimmy. People were just pasting links, la la la, so I figured I might as well join the fray. But before doing so, I should probably participate in the not-so-glamorous "catching" part of link whoring...

You'll notice how I'm subcontracting this SHoP work out to you, in typicl general contractor fashion. Look alive, people, the taco truck comes by at 12:05 on the nose...

http://northerncrown.com/rmorgan/weblog here's where it started, as this dude asked for links. kind of the equivalent of accompanying Jihad Jimmy to his place where everybody knows his hame, standing in the middle of the room and yelling "Man oh man, do I love lap dances from nubile women!" Oh, and you're waving several twenties around high above your head. And from his e-mail loins hath the following been borne...

http://www.dhogberg.com/ Not to rub it in too hard for the lawyers, but I have a PhD and work for a think-tank. So not only did I avoid being an attorney, in the end I also avoided working academia. God is good. Wow, I'm astounded by how much I don't give a flying fuck

Now taking the mound for your Northern California Guerilla Republicans, Tio tio Jaime! jaime jaime...

Here's my contribution to the thread...

Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 09:36:29 -0800 (PST) From: "Jimmy" Subject: RE: RE: that's gonna leave a mark or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Whoring Links I now somewhat regret my tongue-in-cheek gag of applying for the CPAC-dealie. I would've thought that averaging 69 site visits a day would be a giveaway... http://sixhertz.blogspot.com intro post: http://sixhertz.blogspot.com/2005/02/shop-talk_03.html The SHoP is your all-in-one, home-theater-in-a-box headquarters of two twenty-something bona fide Conservative, Republican, Catholic, Northern Californian kindergarten buddies (SixHertz and Tio Jaime). We use bad words, buttloads of invectives, political incorrectness, and gratuitous nubile women for your entertainment. There's a bit of civil disobedience, which is my own personal contribution to the Culture War. It's a special brand of Guerilla Republicanism that really can only be cultured in the People's Republic of Berzerkeley. Sweet, sweet alma mater, since we're into the whole name/profession dropping today. But yes, guerilla republicanism... you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. i'm your plausible deniability. In fact, I wouldn't keep this e-mail on your computer once you glean the link(s) and other important info. all my love, Tio Jaime aka Jihad Jimmy, Chief Defender of the Faith ps- congratulations. if you sent me a link before i sent this e-mail, you made the SHoP. Get Some

all my love,
Jihad Jimmy, Chief Defender of the Faith
