Hello, Crasstalkers! Sorry your COW post is late this week. I was at the Good Witches Summit all day yesterday. Well, I think you know what parts of your week are going to be highlighted here, don’t you? Let’s not delay, but first: if you wish to nominate a comment or comments for Comment of the Week (COW), please take a screenshot of the comment and email it to me: crasstalkcow at gmail. If the thread is very long just send me a screenshot of the first comment or two, but always remember to tell me what post or OT the comments come from. Okay then, hit the jump for the week’s roundup and COW!
Remains of the Day
Read Jarrod’s blind items here. BadKarma asked for murders and executions in PhotoPhriday.
Caturday
Bots hosted the Saturday Night DJ Party. And that’s it, because you’re a bunch of good-for-nothing layabouts. Meanwhile, in the OT:
Sunnandæg
GtCosita taught you how to make Sofy’s Salad Dressing. LaZiguezon guided you through Five Abandoned Places. GI ripped some new assholes, and later Clarity83 hosted the Mad Men open thread.
Moon Day
Clarity83 hosted the Mad Men post-mortem. BizMonkee’s political links are here. Lauren deconstructed another episode of Game of Thrones.
Twos Day
Bots told you about some sluts who won’t wear skirts to play their fake sport. Dürer’s Rhino told you about an asshole doctor who denied a man HIV medication because God or whatever. BaldwinP referenced Cher in a QOTD. MonkeyBiz’s political links are here. Printersanonymous recapped another Shahs of Sunset. Bbqcornnuts’ dog really needs to STFU. Lauren made you watch Nicki Minaj’s terrible new video. GI hosted a Wisconsin recall election open thread. In the OT, 92BuickLaSabre had a hot streak:
Budhavãra
DogsOfWar illustrated that you can either get murdered in a giant building in Detroit or be safe in a tiny condo in New York for about the same price. Dorothy Barker asked for the title of your biography. MonkeyBiz’s political links are here. Lauren showed you what uncrate.com has in their apocalypse grab bag. Dürer’s Rhino asked you to help Bristol Palin name her new puppy. Corn continued her assault on xoJane, who thinks your pusswah stanks. Delta Sierra wrote a very nice post in memory of Ray Bradbury. Clarity83 wrote a post to celebrate National Running Day.
Thor’s Day
Delta Sierra asked if you’re a re-reader. Dürer’s Rhino stirred some shit up with a quote from bloated sack of stupid, Jeb Bush. BaldwinP advised you to change the passwords to your eHarmony and LinkedIn accounts because your deep compatibility and tenuous professional connections had been jeopardized. Then BaldwinP wrote at length about Microsoft not wanting to follow you around the web like a sleuth hound trailing a criminal. Shes_a_rainbow shared an easy, delicious recipe for sausage and roasted vegetable pasta. Lauren wrote about the hype problem with Prometheus. Meanwhile, in the OT, one of you asked for advice in navigating New York smalltalk,
but you didn’t foolishly assume it could remain a civil discussion with helpful suggestions, did you?
Fried Day
SusanBAwesome told you about an ABC producer who live-tweeted a blind date to hilarious and uncomfortable effect. MonkeyBiz’s political links are here. Knight of the Burning River gave Americans a reason to feel a bit better about the state of their political system. Momof3 passed you a note in study hall and only told you to circle yes or no: maybe was off the menu. Dürer’s Rhino shuffled your mind cards with Ten Photos. Lauren introduced you to Luv & Hat. BadKarma wanted to see your weekend plans in PhotoPhriday. Jarrod’s blind items are here.
COW
It has been a while since there was a major bloodbath in Crasstalktown, but Wednesday saw a thunderdome so intense, I think you set a new record. Insults were flung like poo from zoo enclosures. Comments were deleted en masse. Cries for action rang out like gunshots. It got so bad that DogsOfWar had to exercise his nuclear option–you got a do-over. A new OT sprang up, fresh and shiny! It was inevitable that some of the morning’s, uh, excitement would come with you to the new OT, like bedbugs in your pants cuffs. Some of you enjoyed the danger!
One of you thought you could predict the COW!
One of you had no choice but to apologize!
Then there was Amazon_ww’s thread. I won’t re-post the original comment that spurred the long thread of replies, but it’s enough to point out that one of Crasstalk’s few straight bachelors felt threatened in the ensuing discussion:
Nice work, munchkins.
Until next week.
