    1. Oh, come on, Tim. Rich, red meat at this time of night? Here’s what’ll happen. I’ll go to bed, I won’t be able to sleep for trying to think of something pertinent to say, then I’ll get up tomorrow morning to plunk down a few lines in the comments section, only to find four new posts on completely different topics.

      Well, no worries. I see that none other than Jeremy Sear has posted a comment (or rather, saved himself the trouble by quoting C.S. Lewis, at length). And Mental Floss is already doing the heavy lifting (Well done, old top; well done, indeed!)

      Definition 2
      in-TIM-idation. (v) In which leftie bloggers, having exercising ‘timitation’ become disparaging of the comments made by the avalanche of Tim Blair regulars.

    1. Actually I think it would great to be a leftie for a day. Life would be so much simpler. All political problems are so easily solved with big deficit spending and dung beetle programs. Difficult things to deal with like logic and reason can just be cast to the side in favour of irrational emotion.
      The individual responsibilities we must face up to day to day can be shuffled straight to the nanny state being handled by mystically enlightened faceless bureaucrats and those that don’t embrace this worldview can just be blindly hated due to the fact that are denying humanity everlasting happiness by not embracing socialism.Back to reality though.

      Ooh, I just loved that comment about the “mystically enlightened faceless bureaucrats”.

      I used to be one of them.  I actually worked in an area where we dealt with the public.

      We were not “mystically enlightened”, but we did wear a lot of grey cardigans.  I can tell you that, to a man, we all fucking hated the general public.  If our customers all died in a superheated fireball, it would have been a day or celebration.

      I don’t know where people get the idea that public servants are selected on their ability to joyously and selflessly serve the public.  Some start out that way, but they end up wanting to go postal after a few months.

      Bureaucrats should never be armed.

      I just want to know why they know so much about Tim.  I mean how many of you actually go and read those blogs everyday as they clearly come and read in here.  If they dont like it dont read it sounds pretty simple to me

    1. Nora and kae,

      Yes, I do keep the wardrobe room (not closet) locked, except during business hours.  Why?  Because of those silly little games the minions and minionettes were playing with leather boots, chaps, and vests.  We’re not here to play games!  The world won’t be taken over by itself you know.

      I also lock up the font cabinet, the mead stores, and of course, the treasury.  And lately, our inventory of whipped cream.  I won’t bother explaining why it was necessary to do the latter.

      I hear that one all the time but still haven’t worked out what all it means…

      I believe what they mean is they’d rather live someplace where who, how, and why you interact with people is controlled on the basis of “society’s needs”, rather than your own wishes, abilities, and contributions to the well-being of others.

      Naturally, they assume they would be the ones deciding what constitutes “society’s needs”, and that their decisions would be benevolent and altruistic.

      Do we offer to go through and help sweep the place, y’know before the host’s mum gets home and finds the mess?

      Or would it be so bad if we were never invited back?

      Hmmm I do remember a certain New Years’ Eve at the Lychee Club in San Francisco…

    1. #88 Nora: Well, I suppose that would be the right thing to do, so, nah, let’s don’t. It’s so much easier to live down to their expectations.

    1. Despite Jeremy Sear vowing not to play Tim for a day. He has here.

      Reminds me of this from Julius Caesar:
      “I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
      Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?”

    1. They couldn’t find another left wing blogger with the literary skills to imitate Tim Blair.

      No more after today. Unless they try to find someone

    1. Thanks Nora.

      Judging by the comments, it looks like all there is for Jeremy to tag is Sam.

    1. So they mock Tim by pointing out that he uses selective instances that contradict human induced global warming. But don’t understand he’s mocking them by doing that. Because that’s what they do to bolster their claims of global warming.

      That’s just too funny.

    1. How can you keep trying to parody Blair and then claim the Blair posters who respond parodically are immature?

      That’s really immature.

      Or, for those of you who remember Puberty Blues…rooooolly immature.

    1. Blare, bluster, blogs and blair. Blairly a day goes by without us timking about life’s blissues.

      Sometimes blifficult, sometimes bleasy.

      Blut it’s always a bleasure to blare one’s thoughts.

    1. I wonder who is going to be the last person saddled with that job.  Will their memory be seared?  Will they get a magic hat?

  1. I’m confused.  I don’t remember if I’m doing a parody of a parody or a parody of a parody of a parody.
