Commenter Of the Week: Coyote hardly ugly

Posted on January 18th, 2007 – 3:56 PM
By Michael Rand

From time to time, we get spam e-mails that we are compelled to read because they consist of a series of loosely connected words. Like this one: “Leg justified held portion, amp overhead lighting grid. … Shoe tags ubiquitous speak evil.” And so on. That was sort of what we worried about when we started this Commenter Of the Week thing. A lot of garbling, with intentions buried deep. That, however, has hardly been the case. You have all stepped up, and now it is Coyote’s turn. We enjoyed the talk of “cured meat,” and “Small Particulate Matter: The Post-Landry Years,” as well as many other takes this week. And now Coyote has 300 words, to be sent by 9 a.m. SHARP (You listening, Sassbottom?) tomorrow morning to RandBall’s personal Swiss bank e-mail account, mrand@startribune.com. Dig it.

This has zip to do with topic, but the top banner (capitalist ad) on my RandBall right now is Classmates.com. Did anyone know that the Dept. of Domestic Insecurity has recently captured Osama bin Laden when he came back to visit some old school chums. News at 5

Now, now, SuperRookie. You know full well that the unwritten COW Club rules state that we do not mock others for not being part of the club. We mock them because they make stupid posts.

By the way, when is RandBall going to loosen his dictatorial grip on deciding who gets to join the COW Club? When are we going to be alllowed to vote on the COW?

If we get a few more regulars, we can start voting. By we, we mean us. By us, we mean all of us. And PP has already indicated he does not want to be a COW. Some people are more comfortable grazing in the background.

Super….As I eloquently have put it (twice) in the past, I don’t need no Stinkin’ Cow since I am Holden Caulfield reincarnated (read and discover and your horizons will grow, Super)

But I must tell you in this private space that I wasn’t shutout by your girlfriend ..so pleeze shutup ya trap or I spill my guts about what she says about you HarDeHardeHar

Super..sorry about that. You may be of the girl persuasion, so my condolences to your male pretense, but before you attack someone again, read ALL their posts. It’s clear by yours that you desperately want to be a COW. OK, you are a COW. Feel better, udder fool ?

Dear lord, PP, I told you to lay off the pork bacon a couple of weeks ago. Is seems like some of it might have went bad…

Perhaps I should call up my friends Franny and her older brother Zooey to come down here and have a word with you.

Don’t taunt. I read.

Wow, this blog had so much potential…that is until it devolved into Lindsey Lohan-Paris Hilton type slap fight between PP and SR, with Rocket desperately swinging his purse in a pathetic attempt to play the part of Nicole “the Peacemaker” Ritchie.

Ladies please. Let’s stop the catfighting and get back to a discussion on the pending Pedro Guerrero tell all. One that’s sure to peak the interest of donkey lovers everywhere.

SuperRookie says:

Pedro Guerrero has nothing on Ron Mexico.

Super R…I am impressed !!! Did you like Franny and Zooey as much as “Catcher” ? I didn’t…I thought Salinger was losing it by that time..pulling the Howard Hughes act that he did for the rest of his life…

I'll Take The Mamba says:

There is/was a website that generates each visitor a “Ron Mexico” alias. All you have to do is enter your real name and gender. Mine was exquisite: Miguel Congo.

Now if I could just find a website that would allow me to obtain herpes…….oh wait, isn’t that Match.com, eharmony.com etc?

MambaQjueen,

Betcha you thought “Catcher in the Rye” was about some minor leaguer in the farm belt…moral of this entry…DON”T throw stones when you have a glass jaw …or a 2.0 GPA, ay

SuperRookie says:

January 19th, 2007 at 9:25 am

Nate Latvia.

None of the girls will remember my real name after hearing this one.

Ben says:

January 19th, 2007 at 9:29 am

Yeah, I’m pretty sure no one has ever heard of “Catcher in the Rye”. Jesus, if you’re going to try to be intellectual, pick a book that isn’t required reading in every 9th grade English class throughout America.

Or better yet, just stop posting.

I'll Take The Mamba says:

January 19th, 2007 at 9:34 am

Nope. I assumed “Catcher” was Randy Moss (naturally) and “the Rye” was your mother.

Lesson to you my friend, don’t engage the Mamba, your Hibbing Community College playing days are over.

Paul Paulos says:

January 19th, 2007 at 9:39 am

Actually, Catcher in the Rye isn’t required reading anymore in much of the country (I’ve lived elsewhere, ‘Sota Ben), not required in this Most Children Left Behind era. It must be too inflammatory or anti-authority in nature to the Domestic Insecurity warmongers who wish for kids to get lost in sports but ask no embarrassing questions of their confused elders

mamba…let’s fax our transcripts to one another just for sh.ts and giggles. You can’t count handball as a credit course, just a personal activity maybe. Just go to Kinko’s and ask someone to help you FAX. They’ll know (if they see your transcript) to offer up some help. By the way, what’s a “Hibbing” ?

I'll Take The Mamba says:

January 19th, 2007 at 9:48 am

What’s a Hibbing????????

I rest my case.

must be some local place …maybe where they shot Deliverance…some place where you left your buddies behind ….(old prison joke)

I love malapropists. I hope that sounded intellectual. But, it probably didn’t.

Lets bring this back to what matters…

Is Brewster going to keep my ol’ hockey captain Luke Tressel on the staff? I sure hope so because he is a good guy.

Hey Paul P.

Your Ron Mexico name courtesy of the ron mexico name generato is

Pavel Pakistan.

Paul Paulos says:

January 19th, 2007 at 10:21 am

I sorta like that !!…many people just call me by my code name a…..e. Those malapropists (another good word )are usually found whimpering in dumpsters…’til later, Pavel, over and out

Kids! Don’t make me pull this car over. Because I will.

OK dad, but when will we get there ? Besides, can we fly next time like everyone else ? Tommy keeps elbowing me

I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:
