I just wanna say right now, Catalina, you are my new hero for working with UnButtwashed on his healing and anger issues.

Claypatch commented on Today In the East Carolinian.

What I posted on the newspaper's website:

"Hahahahahahahahah…..Wow. That has to be the absolute worst piece of drivel, written for a College newspaper, that I have read in awhile. Setting aside the fact that the writer thinks being gay is a choice (newsflash hon: genetic makeup is not a choice) her writing is forehead slapping AWFUL. Strangled syntax, garbled sentence structure, and boneheaded conclusions all writhe in that snakepit of her brain to vomit up this piece of poo. I dont know who should be ashamed more, the writer Mahogany, her editor, or her parents for giving her that embarrassing birth name.

Comedy Gold."

Consistently one of our best writers. Thank you Mr Alexie.

Claypatch commented on Freedom Is Frustrating.

@46: I admire your desire to engage "unbrainwashed" in a civil conversation, but I feel you may be wasting your time. Judging from this, and other threads, MrBrainwashed just seems to want to spend his time jumping into threads and letting us know we are all librul dupes and phonies and whores for Teh Stranger. He comes across as vituperative, bitter, somewhat coherent (but mostly not) and awfully angry about something. He's just another in a long line of trolls who get their tiny wee wees all stiffy stiffy by yelling at Slog readers and posters. He's useful for comedy, not much else.

Claypatch commented on I Want to Start a Series Called "The Frye: Art That Has Lost Its Mind".

While the subject matter is indeed silly, the actual technique used in the painting is quite masterful. Being able to convey the depth of the room by showing all the columns and concaves in the ceiling, the accurate placement of shadow, the complexity of the folds in the shawl and the dress, are all done very well. Go to Frye to see the Nicolai Fechin exhibit, that shit is FANTASTIC.

@12: Go back to Milwaukee, moron. You fail at reading comprehension as badly as #5.

Claypatch commented on Drunk of the Week.

Well.....FUCK! This just blows stinky cat ass. I love the Alki Tavern, as its a dive bar in the grand ol' tradition of smelly divey dives: mis-matched rickety furniture, rockin jukebox, ugly and bad for you bar-snacks. Taco Thursdays is a great tradition, where the bartender stands on the bar, at the stroke of 10:30pm and announces "Last Call for Tacos!", and everyone in the bar yells back, "FUCK YOU!" It doesnt get much better than this. Gawdammit I am gonna miss this place.

Claypatch commented on What Are They Hiding?.

@5: You may want to review the entire story before you start calling these folks "anarchists or even civil terrorists". The two in question were not even in Seattle on the day the vandalism occurred. They refused to answer questions about other folks political beliefs, and thus ended up in jail for contempt of court. Its not too far of a stretch to think that the only reason they were picked up, questioned, and then held in solitary for two months, was to discourage other people from acting out in such a fashion. Personally, I think that if we have a "government of the people, by the people" that behaves in such a fashion, then a bit more smashing up may be in order.

Claypatch commented on Oz the Great and Powerful: Franco Good, Elfman Bad.

My Danny Elfman hate goes back waaay longer than when he started scoring films. "Back in the day" (as you kiddies say), he used to front the band Oingo Boingo, which, imho, put out some of the most annoying and non-original music around. Somehow he managed to vault this mediocre music career into a mediocre film career. Well, I guess it beats guns, drugs, and fucking in the streets....or does it?
