There’s ranting, and then there’s RANTING.

    1. That’s exactly what I hear everytime Mahmoud Ahmadinejad opens his mouth. That was the funniest thing I’ve read all morning.

    1. Delightful rant

    1. And the South Australian judge is giving it … 10.0, yes, another perfect 10, we may have a new record here …

    1. Wow. I mean WOW!!

      The Dark Lord has sent me to see Mr Democracy Rules.

      Something about ‘replacing that unreliable Wronwright’. Have to admit I did not understand that bit. He is not unreliable. He certainly starts every time Mistress Andrea pokes him with her new super-turbocharged fusion-powered Product assisting Cattle Activity from the inimitable Paco Industries.

      What did she call it? Oh yes, ‘a cattle prod for brontosaurs’.

      Wron was sitting dozing in a chair yesterday (something about spending a lot of time watching NASCAR), when Mistress Andrea walked in. There was a quiet but evil giggle,  an ‘Ominous Hummmmmmm’, a sizzling crackle, an earsplitting scream, and applause from the other henchmen. Also a cry of ‘400,000,000 volts right up the clacker!’

      We mere minions did not actually see anything, of course, as we were grovelling in the VRWC-approved manner.

    1. (wronwright walks in eyeing MarkL slowly buffing a black helicopter fender while looking off in a dreamy fashion with a happy smile on his face)

      MARK!  I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DAY DREAM ABOUT BUT STOP IT AND GET THAT APACHE WAXED!  KARL IS WAITING FOR IT.

    1. Pfft!

      A really good ranter can piss people off just fine while using small letters.

    1. i’d like to see justice kirby’s opinion on that rant. or even a real ahmadinejad one

    1. I didn’t mind that he was screaming.  What good’s a rant if you don’t scream it?

    1. Ranting in the morning
      Ranting in the evening
      Ranting in the summertime
      Be my little ranter
      And lock me all,all of the time

    1. Sorry, only a 9.7 from the American judge, as the ranter did not address killing Bud Selig for moving baseball from cable tv to only satellite meaning I can’t get it because I don’t want to go through the hassle and expense of switching.

      Next time, put a little effort into it.

      A DARNED GOOD POINT!  ON THAT BASIS THE AMERICAN JUDGE SHOULD GIVE THEM A 6.9!

    1. Ranting ranters and the ranties who love them?

    1. I like it. Nicely nuanced, with that subtle hint of Shavian wit that surprises you with its quiet irony. A bon mot indeed!

    1. Sweet! Reminiscent of Oscar Wilde, if Oscar Wilde was a batshit-crazy Muslim.

    1. Ok All you Naughty Marietta fans, to the tune of “Tramp, Tramp Tramp”:

      Rant! Rant! Rant! along the highway
      Boom! Boom! Boom! my I E D
      Bloody chaos, you ask “why?”, hey!
      Islamic freaks are we!
      Whine! Whine! Whine! when stuck in Gitmo
      “What afghani artill’ry?”
      We’re camel-humping nuts!
      Dipshits and bumblefucks!
      Hooray for Mullah-cracy!

    1. I give it an 85.  It has a nice beat and is easy to dance to.

    1. Speaking of quality rants, the ABC reveals that their ‘super-neutral’ Fran Kelly on RN has selected Paul Keating’s Redfern Speech as her favourite Great Speech.

      Not only was Keating poor at reading speeches, but here he excelled himself in indulgent Moral Vanity as far as the welfare of the native original dwellers are concerned.
      Keating is Fran’s Martin Luther King Jr?Just look at all the alternatives, Fran, and stop listening to the chatter in the ABC coffee room..

    1. OR!!!  A Sabres fan! Heh!

      They get hit with any more injuries, you’ll hear some ranting, all right. And rending. And gnashing.

    1. #2 Texas Bob, Imadinnerjacket not only talks in CAPS, but without punctuation.

    1. Is there a Darwin Award or Ignoble Prize for the rant category? This was beautiful.

      A good Don Cherry rant would be refreshing right now.

      Posted by Dave S. on 2007 02 20 at 11:09 PM • permalink

 

    1. Or how about a Don Cherry lexicon.. Next best thing.

      Posted by Dave S. on 2007 02 20 at 11:18 PM • permalink

 

    1. Isn’t Don Cherry and rant like redundant or something!

      Hey you got Danny Briere.  We had to let him go when Phoenix discovered he could play hockey. I think Phoenix has a disclaimer in their season ticket agreement that goes something like:

      “We retain the right, and take it as an obligation, to trade, waive or otherwise dispose of any player who exhibits any talent.”

    1. #21, Wimpy Canadian:

      Good to see some CANADIAN CONTENT 🙂

      I read each and every comment and the article and the linked passage and did not see a single mention of either moose or igloos. What’d I miss?

      Posted by Grimmy on 2007 02 20 at 11:53 PM • permalink

 

    1. Aaahh! Makes a nice change!

      As you all know, polishing the black helicopters of the Dark Lord of the VRWC is henchman’s work. Well so pleased was the Dark Lord with me that I was polishing a black helicopter yesterday with a very happy smile on my face when Wronwright went past. He shouted “MARKL!  I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DAY DREAM ABOUT BUT STOP IT AND GET THAT APACHE WAXED!  KARL IS WAITING FOR IT.”

      He is an EXCELLENT shouter. Those lessons really took. He was still walking very oddly though, and the other henchmen were making sizzling noises and guffawing loudly.

      Now, I am not saying there is a promotion here, but…… you never know.
