    E.D. Jane???

    I’d be offended. I.N. Sane would have been TONS better, if obvious.

    Hell, he could have gone for oblique and called you a milquetoast who wouldn’t hurt a fly and gone for E.D. Jain.

    N.O. Brain would have been better!

    E.D. Jane? Man. You got ripped off.Report

        It is with slowly dawning horror that I understand the joke that he was making.

        The link above yours was to a Jackie Hunter. I was wondering what she must have written and what her name really must be. Jackie Hunt? Nah, he might have gone in a different direction. Anyway, I get to the page and it’s a Jack Hunter.

        His insult was calling a guy by a girl’s name.

        Dude. He just called that guy a girl.

        Dude. It is a withering insult, in his brain, to call a guy a girl.

        Dude.

        And I felt a wash of pity that quickly became a backwash of contempt. Insults like that make me feel sorry for the guy.

        Lord, I hate feeling pity for people.Report

  2. I suppose that makes me one of the “Multiple Hemorrhoids”? Meh, I’ve been called worse.Report

    ED Jane and the Multiple Hemorrhoids. Maybe we should start a really bad glam rock cover band with that name?Report

  4. Chris Dierkes says:

    If we do it as a KISS cover band, then I’m calling shotgun on Star Child.Report

    • Or we could go in a Gwar direction and actually dress up like hemorrhoids. Then at the end of the show, we could bring actors playing our political “enemies” up on stage, call them “girl names” (even the girls, to really rub it in their faces that they’re girls), behead them, and spray their blood on the assembled crowd.Report

  5. This is rich. The prophesy of your earlier post is astounding. Actually, it wound up not being outlandish enough – the post that got you so honored was one in which not a single word was your own (including the title) except for the entirely factual statement that “Jack Hunter reviews…”

    Beyond amusing.Report

    What is he attempting? I honestly have not a clue.Report

  8. Congratulations, E.D. I am honored to have you amongst this fine specimen of Deranged Bloggers!Report
