Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 16, 2012

Nothing brings a student body together like a good riot.

I knew we were missing something.

Whatta pit, BD coaching online football.

Shudder. WWTGSS = What Would Troll Guard Sgt. Say?

Maybe the Second Life folks could work out online football. And online rioting..Heh, jocks and thugs will be supplanted by computer geeks. I love it. Even if it is a sign of the Mayan Apocalypse.

There could be some serious tweeting and facebookin’ that could be sort of incitement, I suppose.

lol where would football be without drunk fans, cheerleaders and brain concussions.

now who would have thought Doonesbury would go there?

Yes don’t PSPTT , it’s NITC ( not in the constitution ) !

It’s an ill wind that blows no good. Is this the good with for-profit schools? SEC sports schools spend more on athletics than on academics, because, “it brings in donations from alumni.”

Re: today’s stripIt brought back memories of the local town fire department coming onto our college campus to break up a bonfire pep rally for our basketball team.We did not take this unwarranted intrusion lightly. It ended with our dismantling their brand new firetruck ! Needless-to-say the entire student body were in deep trouble the following day.

Sorry, not being a sports fan, this arc has become tedious. I’d rather see them deal with the reality than the speculation.

Humans are funny creatures. They are problably the only creature that willingly perverts it’s own means of survival and calls that perversion entertainment! Any other creature would soon die out it it did that.

“I played in the band.”πGSTB = “God Save The Band.”

“every student … should …. They should …. Pay … go to jail … be banned ….”πspeaketh a would-be tin-horn godlet.

Well, school has started. Maybe this is GT’s homage to going back to school.

Question for TROLL:πIf our sworn enemy communist China (OSECC), were to invade our sworn ally Formosa (Taiwan), as OSECC has sworn to do, then would we BORROW a trillion dollars from OSECC in order to fight OSECC? As we are sworn by treaty with Formosa to do?πAnd would OSECC loan it to us?πOr should we just PRINT the trillion and add it onto the national debt?πC’mon TROLL, you’re God (or godlet) now, answer up!

“Troll = TRUTH!”π(No comment.)

Huh, my univeristy paper printed an April’s Fool edition that said they were going to get a football team and the student body nearly rioted. Even with the second page basically saying “gotcha!” the threat of football was enough to tick the CRUD out of everyone.

“It is called being responsible for one’s own actions.”πSo that’s why you can’t answer the questions!

“… I was in … Wind Ensemble ….”πKeep going . . . confession is good for the soul.

“You haven’t shown any proof that [Guard SGT] is a Natural Born Citizen. You can’t. There is none.”

“How about we just ….”πStill can’t answer the China-Taiwan question! Whatta pit!

“Football is more than a sport ….”πAnd could be, at least potentially, a substitute for war.

“… they should …. One should ….”πStill avoiding the questions!

“No amount of facts, laws, or Constitutional limits should get in the way of [Guard SGT’s] oh so perfect solutions.”

As long as the girls still get drunk…

Hey Guard SGT.πU.S. guard sergeants don’t go to sleep while on duty! Or do they? Come on and man-up. Take responsibility! Answer the questions!

What kind of memories would one have from a “virtual college education/experience” – total recall? sim-college?Online classes have their place and meet the needs of many adults, but I don’t see total on-line learning taking the place of the classroom experience. It blows my mind that on-line learning is being offered K-12. It must be about the profit motive.Thanks to GT for bringing the issue to our attention. I’ve spoken to a few people about it and they were not even aware of the for-profit angle.

Guard SGT: πJust so you don’t lull yourself away into Nepenthe, here are the same three China-Taiwan questions again (condensed):π(1) If China were to invade Taiwan, then should we BORROW a trillion dollars from China in order to fight China? (2) And would China loan it to us? (3) Or should we just PRINT the trillion and add it onto the national debt?πCome on! Answer up!

Babygirl, yeah, I’ve been thinking about you and what you’ve been saying about flagging. You’re an intelligent person. But I don’t think I’m going to flag Guard SGT, because I don’t think GoComics is going to do anything about him.πAs long as he’s not using censored language or making physical threats, then he’s probably going to survive GoComics management.πHowever, I take your point about not feeding him. And I’ll quit harassing him — in awhile. (I haven’t been answering him before today.)πGuess we’ll just have to suffer him like we suffer the heat, or the gnats outside.πSigh.

Everybody else: Here are my three answers to the three questions Guard SGT dare not answer, not even in his wettest of dreams:π(1) If China were to invade Taiwan, then should we BORROW a trillion dollars from China in order to fight China? NO! (2) And would China loan it to us? NO! (3) Or should we just PRINT the trillion and add it onto the national debt? NO!

I’m glad our current prez is neither a hawk or dove, but a wise owl, who is very capable of sorting out the foreign policy, bearing in mind that the world is extremely complex.

U.S. pop. reaching 100 million times π.πMontisoriteacher announced it here on this website. I think it means Uncle Sam should give me a hundred million bux!

When I was at uni, we completely dismantled a lecturers car and reassembled same inside the gym. Nobody got caught – for a while :)

Read what it was all about. It was a pep rally. It wasn’t a bloody riot until the fire department made it one!!

I can guarantee you that Dubya wouldn’t have let it interrupt his golf game.

Bloody well mattered to Germany after WW1.BTW – I wasn’t born in your country and neither do I owe it any allegiance but even I can pick a bigot when I see one. Oh and I was educated by the state in a system that is government sponsored. We don’t depend on Maccas or Coke or any arms manufacturers to pay for the institutions that should be run by the state.

“I have had to show an unforgered birth certificate ….”πAssertion isn’t proof. Your certificate was forged. Obama’s wasn’t.

“When it comes to war like that, you fight first and figure out how to pay later.”πWar like what? Like invading Iraq? Like invading China?

“… mindlesly parrot the party lies ….”πOf course you mindlessly parrot the GOP party lies.

“I am NBC.Barry isn’t NBC.”πYou aren’t.Obama is.

“I am not President or even a lowly Usurper.”πOf course you aren’t W. Bush, but nobody cares.

“If I was President, I would honor our agreement.”πOf course you would invade China and kill perhaps a million or two million American service people, seriously and permanently wound several million more, only to have the whole world turn against us, including Britain, and in the end lose the war to boot — just like in Vietnam, in Iraq, and in Afghanistan.πYou care only about your idiot-ology.

“… you fight first and figure out how to pay later ….”πWith an attitude like that you’d also invade Russia and any other country that doesn’t agree, like Canada. You’d add trillions upon trillions to the national debt. You’d kill millions more of American troops. πYou also have no idea how much just the annual SERVICE on that debt would cost. So much that you would probably incite revolution and civil war in this country.

“There are times sleeping is authorized on duty.”πA guard on active watch NEVER sleeps and is NEVER authorized to sleep.

“I stick to the laws, facts, and the US Constituion.”πOf course you don’t.

“I can only wonder what you stick to?”πNobody cares what you wonder.

“I was … vetted … to earn a Top Secret.”πOf course you never had Top Secret clearance.

“… I am NOT a bigot. …”πAnd neither was Richard M. Nixon a crook.

“That is so Stalinistic of you.”πStalinistic? Susan? Babygirl? Hah! (But at least you can crack an ironic joke.)

Woo-Hoo!!! Now that both sides of this idiocy have ripped one anothers virtual guts out, I’ll tell you what I think. You both, GuardSgt and DTpi, have finally proven to me that you both utterly disgust me. Both of you are using your own parties public lines and then feel threatened by the other’s rhetoric. I’m just a lousy old Vietnam vet, GaurdSgt. It’s quite stupid to reveal your clearance level. DTpi, your baiting is quite infantile for a grandfather. I’ll not go on, but I think I’ll begin to flag you both, or better yet, ignore you both.

Y’all, Since my last reply to him, I haven’t read any more of Guard STG’s posts. Thanx for the advice. I’m clean and sober now (fingers crossed).

Y’all, still haven’t read any troll posts. C’mon John, Susan, CONGRATULATE me!

REMF confirms he’s NBC: Non-Brained Conservative? MAricopa Sheriff is just as big a joke. He couldn’t get a security clearance to guard Mitt’s toilet paper supply. Which speaking of the “corrupt party”, maybe if the Republicans would pay back some of what they’ve cost us since Reagan took office? Well, there wouldn’t be any significant national debt.

P.S., that isn’t “cost us”, it’s STOLEN!
