car door clicks


Jeff G., Protein Wisdom,  notes that whites lock doors in high crime areas no matter who you are. 

You know what is worse than hearing the sound of car doors clicking just because you're a teen and you're on the prowl at night and amongst other teens also on the prowl, you know what's worse than hearing that car's doors click all at once. clickclickclickclick, it's a four door, brrrrrrap. 

Hearing the sound of the horn as you walk by a parked car, recently parked, the owner insouciantly locking the car behind them. HONK  Oh man, I want to throw a brick at them, but alas, a brick does not magically appear in my hand.

phx, I'm male. When I was really getting under the skin of edutcher et al cons at Althouse they started the shiloh is a female er might be a female meme.

And I totally avoided er stayed above the fray, so to speak as "they" were trying to get under my skin. Again, having posted since '03 at political blogs I've seen every kind of baiting imaginable lol. Which is part of the reason it was so easy to quit Althouse cold turkey.

I'm a registered Indy, but almost always vote Dem. I voted for Voinovich once. I'm really disappointed w/Obama, but I think that's the nature of the beast once anybody becomes president. Romney would have been an unmitigated disaster trying to kowtow to everyone all the time.

I digress.

Yea, it was pretty easy for me to avoid the "shiloh is a she" discussion. I'm still 99% sure fen was never a marine.

Peeked into Althouse occasionally this year and smiled when my buddy, edutcher, was still bringing up my name. Usually it had something to do w/Inga.

Indeed, as the trained pet seal had a shiloh and an Inga fetish, god love him.

It's the excellent collection of links. Some nice micro commentary for good measure. The approach. Love it.

I have an idea: We could have an animated icon (Chip"s the go to I would think) like ACE HQ has the flaming skull and Drudge has the red light. It could be placed on the post as an update to signal, "Comments have gone Bat Sh*t Crazy (BSC), you have been warned." I would find that very helpful. It would be up to Lem or the contributor who posted when to display the icon/alert.

Thanks, shiloh! I'm impressed you had me better pegged than most of my Rethuglican friends, apparently.

Good wishes.

sakredkow said...

Okay, I'll stop hitting on Shiloh now!

Cody Jarrett said...

Cap:

What happens when things go back to being peaceful, like here in this thread once the toxicity absented itself?

We've been having a nice time since then. Well, except for phx shamelessly flirting with Shiloh.

sakredkow said...

You know, you might not like shiloh the male who comes in here aggravating the wingers with inflammatory comments. But shiloh the FEMALE who comes in here with inflammatory aggravating comments is pretty fucking hot stuff, my friend.

Cody Jarrett said...

I always thought Shiloh was funny, mostly.

It's why I'm so happy to see the phx/shiloh hook-up. I think they'll be great together. They look so happy, holding hands down by the lake...it's like Scott and Zelda man.

sakredkow said...

Well stowe it, it's not happening anymore. I'm pretty exclusively attracted to persons of the feminine gland after all.

Although bahoh23 can undoubtedly be hot, especially when he calls me a moron.

It's like AA calling these guys insects.

sakredkow said...

Shiver. Quiver.

And Derrida. And lawnboy. And probably douche nozzle.

Anyone wonder if Meade is going to show up and piss all over InstaPundit threads whenever Insty links to Althouse?


Put Cialis on the list. That and cycling.

Although, phx, I could've sworn that back in your early *althouse* days you were reppin' as a chiquita.

If you're really a dude, then who was it in those pictures you sent me.

You know the ones.

You know.

sakredkow said...

That was your MOTHER, goof!

bagoh20 said...

I call you a "maroon". It's the feminine form.

sakredkow said...

Such a charmer.

So I guess that we leave all of our cars and trucks unlocked during the day and often with the keys in the ignition on our property is a pretty good indication that we don't live in a very high crime area? Half the time we forget to bring in the keys at night too. The worst that can happen is if we didn't roll up the windows and it might rain.

We do lock when traveling away from home: remove the keys and also lock the house and shop. Also when traveling we have friends on the Citizen's Patrol who do come by once or twice a day. Also when traveling we are locked up in the car, but mostly because the car does that all by itself.

Seriously. We rarely lock the house doors at night either. Although If we don't lock the front door in spring when the house is shifting and moving from winter/cold to summer/warm the wind will blow the door open. You wake up and find the door wide open and leaves on the floor....damn! My biggest fear then is that a skunk or other worse critter will take the open door as an invitation to come in. Hello Mr. Mountain Lion, excuse my pajamas.

Perhaps we are not in a high crime area because everyone, including me sleeps with loaded fire arms within a finger's reach and handily throughout the home...... and everyone knows it.

Interesting....when you click on the profile at that entry, you get Meade's profile, stats and avatar.

I wonder how Inga likes being a sock puppet? Hand up the ass and someone else flapping her lips for her. She probably loves it.

Meade said...

Dust Bunny Queen: are you a 53 year-old still with baby cholic or were you just born without any sense of humor gene whatsoever?

Anonymous said...

Meade, LOL!

yashu said...

Someone here may lack a sense of humor, but I for one second DBQ.

I seem to recall A taking great offense if/ when anyone sockpuppeted in her name anywhere. Rightly so.

It's not only an offense to the person you're sockpuppeting (for all I know Inga would love it). Unless it's absolutely obvious that it's a sockpuppet (and it clearly is not), it's an offense to readers (and in particular, co-commeters) who are mistaking one person for another.

In fact, if DBQ hadn't noticed this, I might have felt more annoyed by "Inga" than the real Inga deserved, and that might have been manifested in comments against her.

Knock it off. This is pathetic trolling.

Second DBQ in being the second someone here lacking a sense of humor? I'll second that.

Anonymous said...

It's a joke folks, where is your sense of humor?

Unknown said...

Yeah, but Shiloh started it, so it's all good.

Meade said...

Inga,

I apologize to you for taking your name in sockpuppetry. I thought I was being playful with bagoh but I can see now how I may have hurt your reputation by posing as you when I said "boo". Is there some way I can make it up to you? Please let me know. I won't do it again and will be forever grateful to you if you can find it in you heart to forgive me.

Sincerely,

Meade

Cody Jarrett said...

I don't know about now, but last week Titus' went to Meade's profile too.

Anonymous said...

Meade, I forgive you, can you trim my hedges? ;)

yashu said...

I suppose these things are useful in a way.

Recent trolling was reason for Freeman to establish a rule here: no attacks on other commenters using personal (offline) information.

Perhaps she can establish another: no sock-puppeting other commenters.

Meade said...

"Meade, I forgive you, can you trim my hedges? ;) "

Thanks. Sure, but they will have to wait until next spring. We are already past the point of hedge trimming this season. The new growth that trimming would stimulate now would not have enough time to harden off before winter and you would risk "winter-kill". Best to let them be until next early spring. What kind of hedges are they?

Anonymous said...

He didn't sock puppet, when you clicked on "Inga" you see Meade's profile page, you seriously think he was trying to sock puppet me? Please, what is wrong with you people? It's sad to see the lack of humor.

Anonymous said...

Ninebark. No need I'm just joshing ya.

Meade said...

I know. I was just playing your straight man. So to speak.
