Geez, did this girl fall off the turnip truck or something? "Wow, you're like, really cool! Even though you're acting like a total douchebag. Wow!" She sounds like an idiot.
@OrneryBabe: Well, to be fair, she may have just been thinking, "he's cute and guys are notoriously lousy at conversation in public anyway, so I'll just agree with his babbling until he starts making sense or I can quietly leave with some dignity, whichever comes first." Even if the guy is talking like an idiot, it still looks crummy just to stand up and walk out in the middle of a date. Which is one really good reason to insist that first dates be set for a short finite time (e.g., let's meet for a drink before I go to a dinner engagement I have already made for Friday night.) Also on a short finite date you are less likely to say stuff that will be transcribed on a cocktail napkin and forwarded to Valleywag.
Oh, uh, thank you, Father, I was having the most awful dream. Denton fired Sheila and all the Gawker writers with overlarge outie vaginas were making me feel like I have to quit this site in 2009. But it was all a nightmare, right? Right?
@BookishLookish: @mmstk101: it IS dull here lately, isn't it? I'm just here because I've got yet another sinus infection and can barely move (which always manages to get me canned, for overposting or whatever)... so what do you think it is? where are the regulars? did they all go to another site? are they pissed cause they can't PM each other? is it just the post holiday rundown, before people go back to work? seriously, what the hell is going on? it's like there's been a mass commentator exodus
@Baroness: well, I'm optimistic this year will be better than the last (hey, at least I won't be retraining to inject people with antimatter emitting radioactive sugar to track metastatic cancer in some anonymous hospital basement this year... what was I thinking?), but I sure am having a hard time getting off the...
@Monsignor Xtravagante D'ouchestache: Hello! Sinus infections are brutal. I hope you're feeling well again soon. I don't know where many of the regulars are . . . waiting for the week ahead perhaps? Trying to avoid the Scientology posts? Protesting Sheila's departure? Alls I know is that it's quiet . . . too quiet.
@mmstk101: srsly, not even bj is here for the SAfternoonFF, unfun and chien have been gone for days, and where are pinekatz and vaquero? sargasm and xylo? ^what the hell is going on^
@Monsignor Xtravagante D'ouchestache: BJ's been disappeared for a while . . . No FNFF this week, even. Same with Unfun and vaquero (or, I haven't noticed them recently). Where did everyone go???
@mmstk101: there are a LOT of people who have hung it up who used to be on here regularly, and not just in the last couple of months... it feels like a slow, steady decline since about the time hippy's PR blogging ended
@surgeofthefeet: It means that, like a lot of women who comment here, I am really disappointed that there are no longer any women writing at Gawker. Mr. Denton is making the same mistake Mr. McCain made: forgetting that, as per the Chinese proverb, women hold up half the world.
Keep baggin' that dill bag, surge. I like your style.
@mmstk101@Trixie the Great: Lulz. Trix, I would join you as wingman, but the urge to beat him about the face and head may prove too strong. You're on your own, gorgeous.
Is he wearing a midriff-bearing top in that photo, above? If so, that prompts me to submit that perhaps 2009 is not really yet the year to put to rest the term douchebag.
@Mama Penguino: again, this has been a test of the douchebag alert network. had this been a real douchemergency, you would have been instructed to put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye

"gamedesigner"? that POS site he made has just a handful of games and are all badly done ripoffs of old ones.
Treasure should shoot him in the face just for what he did to Bomberman...

oh by the way - I found everyone, they're all yelling at each other with ian on the scientology post. I'm not sure that's an improvement.
I can't believe you also say "wait, whut" - did you also steal that from ICHC?
