I'm over here at the abode of FCP's most recent newcomer, DLB, and have found that he does not have the ability to create a new post. He wants to contribute posts and such, but he needs to be granted access.
AI or JJ, could you see to it that DLB has the ability to create posts on FCP? He's a stand up guy, symbolized by the fact that I'm drinking his beer right now, and he gave up his last Leinenkugel's Northwoods Lager to me this afternoon-eve. I'm going to give him a ride to pick up his car now, but let's welcome him into FCP good and proper.
Also, my friend in Mongolia is interested in contributing, and as soon as I get his blogger tag, I'll request that you guys do the same so we can have a Mongol front as well. They are, I assure you, fellow boozers.

Huh? I thought anyone with a google/blogger acount could post here (or even without -- there are now a bunch of alternatives listed). But I can add the monicker up there, on the column to the right.
They are, I assure you, fellow boozers.
That is a good thing. But are they also fellow islamohysterophobes bent on calling for the eradication of the entire middle east if ahmadinejad persists in refusing to sing the star spangled banner?
Is this Pepe, or the ghost of Earl McRae:
I see the consequences of the sick and unsound because Barack Obama is black and to be black and catapulting towards the presidency on charm, intellect, and popularity is unacceptable to the racist paranoid and scary in America the beautiful, their hatred exacerbated by the fact his middle name is Hussein, his stepfather was Muslim, he was once educated in a Muslim school.
They do not want to hear that Barack Obama is as much an American as they are, and who has had to explain more times than he should have that he is not a Muslim, but a secular Christian. They do not want to hear that he is a better American than they are, these right-wing extremist fascists in the land of America who no doubt believe it's God's will Barack Obama not get to the White House, no method of deterrence out of bounds, in their zealotry to protect and perpetuate Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Mom's apple pie, and the cross of Jesus in every home.
Getting back to the more mundane task at hand: I checked again the settings of the blog, and I didn't see any place where would-be bloggers are listed. So maybe the name is added automatically if someone add the name of the blog (in this case FCP) on his profile? Worth a try -- if that doesn't work, we can try plan B, which is, let JJ figure it out!
Okay, first off: Captain Darkroom, I ran into one of your compatriots while in an "Irish Pub" (actual generic title) last month during my travels to Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia. My Yankee friend and I treated him well. He hailed from Marseille and said I had nice shoes. I responded with, "That's the only nice thing about me."
As for the fellow boozers: one leans politically to the left, although he has a long way to go before getting to Pepetian Insanity Levels. The other is the friend I referred to in Mongolia, and he's more interested in talking about how, in his words, religion is bullshit, and the biggest religious threat nowadays is in fact Islam Militant.
Tired of listening to post-Modern English professors talk about how a literary freckle on a cat's nipple symbolized an author's latent homosexuality, he withdrew from Macalester College in St. Paul some years ago, bought a one-way ticket to Italia, and then moved on to Ulaan Bataar where he's been living in and teaching English since (please correct me good buddy if I've butchered your last 8 years). He's a crucial ally should any of us return to Khan's stomping grounds, based on the fact that he is cordial and reads, writes, and speaks fluent Mongolian.
I'm off to eat dinner now. Hopefully the above AI recommends will work for DLB. If not, we'll put JJ on the case. Thanks AI.
Hi, Pepe. Good to see you back in super-duper form. And your point was? All stoopid ricains are just extras from Deliverance? And now, Sarko himself, is squealing like a pig? Oh, my. I can recommend a nice, quiet walk in the woods. It's cool out there, that can do wonders to clear up the mind.
All stoopid ricains are just extras from Deliverance?
Not quite, AI. Just that Hucky is really resonating with that crowd. I conceded that it may be a good thing for many, if not most of them, owing to strange their propensity at forming uncommonly close family bonds. I said "may" because of course, there is the distinct possibility that the behavior is actually the result of osmosis from excessive proximity with a clergy that seems bent on staying in the sex with young boys limelight.
When he isn't busy orchestrating media-sponsored trysts with designer pussy, Sarko has been on a crusade to promote the judeo-christian religions as saviors of morality, western civ, and the spotted owl (this is about as incongruous as witnessing Big Foot having sex with a giant squid under the watchful eye of the ghost of Jim Morrison).
So superstitions of all flavors are spreading, even where one would least expect them to. We all agree that it's bad there, and it's also bad here.
Ah, a little aristo, by the dim red glow of a darkroom, returns to make the world safe for those wedded to hillarized wives. And as ever in need of a question or two which aristos are above asking themselves.
Such as, "What is objectively meant by the neologism Islamohysterophobe?? "
Now, an Islamophobe means literally one who has fear of Islam. For example, one who decides that better submission to Islam than risk death by Islam. Or prefers to burkha his wife and dhimmi his son out of fear that refusal to do so will put a crimp in the few years left to him as a bonvivant in his private Versailles. To be an Islamophobe has an ancient and royal pedigree, and many an aristo is shamed by knowledge that an ancestor or two, in that famously upended family tree, cast black dishonor on the clan by being a churlish IslamoFoe rather than Phobe.
As for an Islamohystero, that is one who has hysteria over Islam. That is, one who panics and is unable to control his reactions and thoughts and actions in the face of Islam. For example, the Archbishop of Canterbury, or the whole Belgian political class that speaks in French, or Versaille in all the nations of this world.
So, what then is an Islamohysterophobe? Well, as certain as cretins pun with cretans, it is one who has Fear of Those Who Are Hysterical When Faced By Islam.
More specifically, according to the Dark Aristo in his Room, there is nothing to fear but fear of hysteria generated by confrontation with an Islam which cannot sustain the barroom baritones of a revised English drinking song which extols a banner spangled with stars. And this fear leads to calling for the eradication of the entire middle east.
Ah, this blog has definitely missed such wondrous aristo wit. Verily, jackanapery fit for Kings. We were all the poorer for its absence, and now all the richer for its return.
Bless Ye.
AI, anyone can comment on this site. But to post don't you need to be given permission by the administrator[s]? That is, I thought JJ, and then also you, had to input a list of those with such permission before posting was enabled?
If only JJ has the goods on that, then let's roust him from his undeserved slumbers and get DLB, "Our Man in Mongolia", and any others who wish to correct us of our misguided ways, a chance to post. A Gang of Four is Bleh, a Fist of Five is ultimately but a Handful of Dust. However, Seven is Magnificent.
I wondered about whether JJ has the power of the controls or not too, AA. Perhaps?
Also, the Mongolian Front and DLB have expressed that they are interested in this blog, but moreso in a blog that entertains and airs the views on booze, literature, art, autobiography/biography and philosophy.
How's this for a possible name: "Literature and Libations"?
While waiting for JJ to rouse himself from one of those prolonged slumbers (is he wandering in the desert, around Paris, Texas?), I found a place where the "blog authors" are listed. I see we have an open invitation sent to DB, but none to DLB. Is DLB==DB? If not, I need an email address to send him an invite. But again, I think he can just go ahead and sign up -- once he does that, he'll automatically appear on the list. At least, that's my conjecture.
Literature and Libations.....hmmmmm
Sounds reasonable......but in case unreasonable is wanted, how about something like
Writ, Whisky, and Wrangling?
or, Sophia Smashed and Cleo Clobbered
or, The Word made Wine
or, Oh the Inhumanities!
or,....[let a thousand unreasonable flowers bloom, comrades. Show those blooming possibilities, and then we can prune all down to one. Just like American Idol!]
So, what then is an Islamohysterophobe?, blah-blah-blah...
someone with a hysterical phobia of islam (my neologism).
AI asked: "Is this Pepe, or the ghost of Earl McRae"
Mcrae it be
Of course that is what you intended, he who is anonymous in the dark yet hiding somewhere in a hidden corner of this room, and intentions are wonderful things that get all charming like when the gap between the intention and the result becomes a reason for mirth.
Gee, even HysteroIslamoPhobe would be closer to what you intended.
Neologisms, anonymous, are "semifree". That is, you can always coin 'em, but they have to fit the logic of the language well enough to accurately convey your meaning. If not, they just become putrilogisms, get it?
Of course you could be accurately descriptive and try: "Non Dhimmi Infidel". But for being adrift in the phobic scene
Still working on your ambitious career as a part-time traffic cop for the grammar police, I see. You're doing great.
Still doing your part in perfecting grammarless thought, I see. Your doing what you do best.
