Random IM Conversation with Goldstein, Five (UPDATED)

Posted by Bill

INDCBill: Boy, LaShawn is sure taking one on the chin from that Slublog
proteinwisdom: Ouch
proteinwisdom: She probably thinks I attacked her.
proteinwisdom: Because of the Jesus Skittle
INDCBill: i doubt she saw it
proteinwisdom: but I meant that.
proteinwisdom: I really DID think I'd found Jesus.
proteinwisdom: Because of the beard and sandals the Skittle was wearing
proteinwisdom: Plus, it turned water to wine and raised one of the hampsters I buried in the backyard from the dead.
proteinwisdom: Which, that creeped me out.
proteinwisdom: So I ate it.
proteinwisdom: Like a fruity, plump, communion wafer
proteinwisdom:.
INDCBill: do you think they'll let you IM me from Hell?


UPDATE:

INDCBill: one of my commenters said you attacked Christianity
INDCBill: christophobe!
proteinwisdom: When?
INDCBill: in our IM conversation
INDCBill: about the skittle jesus
INDCBill: HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF ABRAHAM WAS A STARBURST FRUIT CHEW, GOLDSTEIN?
proteinwisdom: What flavor?

Shoulda sold the Skittle on eBay. Like that grilled cheese sandwich with Mary's image that some Las Vegas bought.

LaShawn is funny.

Well, in a self-important religio-wingnut blowhard kind of way. More of a laugh at than laugh with situation.

Even more amusing is how, when she gets jumped on for her rampant idiocy, she reiterates just why she doesn't care what people think about her (nevermind the irony inherent in continually replying to the opinions of those people).

Wait- he ate the skittle, or the hamster? Also, while I'm anti-anti-Semitism, it doens't thrill me to see Christianity attacked, either. Maybe Jeff should do unto as he wants to be done unto.

The Jesus skittle.

Also, I'd have to say that Christianity is only being "attacked" in a rather defensive interpretation of the post.

Posted by: Bill from INDC at July 21, 2005 11:19 AM

That is IT!! You Christophobes are hereby de-linked!

And may God have mercy on your Skittles.

Actually, I once made a joke about bar mitzvahs and ATMs on his blog, which Jeff claimed he found amusing (though I think he was secretly planning to drink my children's blood in revenge when the Elders of Zion take over the world).

Yeah, I believe I made a joke in his comments about writing anti-semitism into a revision of our Constitution (as a play on the anti-semitism in the new Iraqi first-draft Constitution), and he joked back, rather than falling on the floor and twitching or anything.

But he could have been faking.

Posted by: Bill from INDC at July 21, 2005 11:36 AM

Its clear from the comments who was struck in the head and can't think straight.

Posted by: TJ Jackson at July 21, 2005 05:04 PM

That comment is unclear. Who?

Posted by: Bill from INDC at July 21, 2005 05:14 PM

I didn't see a comment accusing Jeff of attacking Christianity with the Skittle Jesus gag.

You just make shit up, don't you?

Posted by: MichaelM at July 21, 2005 06:30 PM

If Bill has lied to us about the Skittle Jesus, you just have to wonder what else he's lied about! I think his credibility is shot on matters relating to Skittle Jesuses. (Jesi? Jeese?)

I'm wondering if Bill actually has IM conversations with Jeff at all. Jeff may actually be ignoring Bill altogether. Could be some residual bitterness because Bill screwed up their radio show. I mean, Jeff was brilliant but he couldn't carry Bill.

Wipe off your monitor and read comment number 3.

Bite me. I was a star. A star!

you people should know just what sort of prima donna Bill actually was.

Posted by: Jeff G at July 21, 2005 07:47 PM

Actually, it was me who did the heavy drinking and drugs. But hanging out with Gannon until all hours? That was Bill.

Posted by: Jeff G at July 21, 2005 07:52 PM

Nice try, Bill.

Comment number 3 on THIS thread was necessarily written after you posted your fake IM conversation with Jeff (who clearly would not give you the time of day).

Comment number 3 on the original Skittle Jesus thread (also presumably fake) reads thusly:

"This just keeps getting gayer and gayer.
Looking between the cushions?"

Kinda hard to construe that as a condemnation of Jeff's attitude towards Christianity.

Oh, you are too clever.

Posted by: Bill from INDC at July 21, 2005 07:59 PM

Jeff, I would ask you to confirm that you totally despise Bill's performance on the radio show, but you would just get deleted again.

Posted by: MichaelM at July 21, 2005 08:02 PM

(he spoiled an upcoming bit)

Posted by: Bill from INDC at July 21, 2005 08:03 PM

Based on his grasp of chronology, I believe I can positively identify MichaelM as one Juan Cole.

Bwahahahaha! You have been exposed!

Posted by: TallDave at July 21, 2005 10:59 PM

It's like Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Missing Jesus Skittle Comment.

Posted by: dorkafork at July 21, 2005 11:08 PM

I'm still not convinced that he didn't eat the hamster.

Posted by: Graumagus at July 22, 2005 12:45 PM

I want to know how Jeff knew the hamster was gay.

Posted by: Matt Moore at July 22, 2005 01:13 PM

Hmmmmm. TJ's comment seems to be unintentionally self-referential.

Posted by: TallDave at July 22, 2005 02:30 PM

Why do I imagine that work would pass much more quickly were I to gain possession of Jeff and/or Bill's AIM ID? I mean, I've got Laurence Simon's, but he's way more normal.

Which is saying something, really.

Posted by: Beck at July 22, 2005 03:36 PM

Am I really the only one who doesn't want to know what Goldstein does with hamsters?

Get your minds out of the gutter. I was thinking of food source for a certain dancing armored rodent.

Posted by: Krusty Krab at July 23, 2005 12:09 AM

Hey! For the first time in my life I got deleted! On this site, I feel strangely honored.

Posted by: MichaelM at July 23, 2005 04:21 PM

I did it to bust your balls, since you're whining so much.

Posted by: Bill from INDC at July 23, 2005 05:54 PM

You can bust my balls anytime you want. I love you too.

Posted by: MichaelM at July 23, 2005 07:27 PM

I'm suddenly getting a creepy "Crying Game" vibe for some reason...
