Happy New Year! I’ve spent the day so far lazing around, eating leftover pizza and listening to music. And that’s about all I’m going to do, I think.
I’ll be back at work blogging tomorrow.
In the meantime, does anyone have any especially fond memories of Tom Martin and/or Steele from the past year?
Oh, and here’s a video from an Old School New Wave band called Polyphonic Size. It was 1983. They were from Belgium.
I spent much of the day sleeping. I plan on sleeping more soon.
Idk what thread it was, but the ten pages of Steele’s goalpost shifting regarding the definition of misandry basically defined tedious.
As for the new year — angry birds and pocket frogs (Pecunium, I totally blame you for my wasting ~3 hours on the latter!)
Wait, did I miss the announcement of MB Troll of the Year?
Tom called me “too big of a cunt” for Manboobz. I’ll treasure that always, and would really like that on a t-shirt.
My favorite Steele moment was Butthorn, and his anger about us believing Dave, not him, when he was outed as a sockpuppet… followed closely by his, “oh, didn’t you all know I was Varpole with a new name”.
cendare – no, it hasn’t been announced yet. Someone’s been slackin’ off and eating pizza. 😉
I got a chunk of writing done AT LAST on New Year’s Day, and am back at coughworkcough now.
Leftover pizza? HA! I made Lasagna Bolognese, which I’ve been wanting to make for a while.
I am so glad 2012 is over. May 2013 be better!
Tom Martin won my vote with his female penguins are whores line. That alone.
@princessbonbon – are you channelling this cat? This time-lapse video covers five hours. 😀

Pizza would have been good. I made some cookies last night but they did not taste right.
Yep, that is me!
😀
I was just thinking that if only that jackass who was supposedly scared to send his sons to Canada had been a troll here, he’d have been in the running for TotY. Because without him, there would be no Pierre!
I documented one pretty fun Steele-inspired run here.
I actually inspired that Tom Martin “Female penguins are whores!” outburst IIRC, so I am pretty fond of that. He stopped being funny when he started talking about the sexual abuse of children. 0_0
Made that for Christmas dinner, it was excellent.
There was also his, “I had to close my blog because Dave didn’t dox me”, followed by his blog restarting.
Can anyone find the thread where Steele described himself as semi-successful and semi-attractive? Or something like that? That was a blast.
What thread did Steele/his socks get outed on again? Sorry, I’ve been reading through old manboobz threads on my commutes to work, and that one sounds HILARIOUS. (As a lurker, I’m excited to learn the Troll of the Year awards!)
My favorite moment with Tom was when I very gently alluded to his receding hairline and he responded by accusing me of having a “receding personality”. The childish petulance made a nice change from his usual go-to insult.
For Steele, the gradual evolution of the Ella saga was a highlight.
Pity he didn’t go for the trifecta with semi-intelligent! 😀
Semi-intelligent would be overstating it a bit. Perhaps he didn’t want to be seen as boastful.
Butthorn got outed in “This is female privilege” is comedy gold! which was his first appearance.
I’d forgotten “synagogue of Satan”.
Seconding the fact that that was hilarious.
Oh boy. Claiming David changed Owly’s charming rants about eight year olds being sluts and so on? Flipping between saying how reasonable and cogent his posts are and saying he’s a kook who doesn’t represent the MRM. And totally, totally not grasping the concept of “jokes”.
You’re right, Cassandra, semi-intelligent is too kind!
