We deplore

the unfortunately robust demi-assedness of the ombudsmøøse. Our avian colleague has brought our sorry attention to this fact, and we have recommended swift and decisive action against the offending comment code blogger. The fact that the post was number 2020 should not be taken too literally.

Sadly, attempts to credential the ombudspants to the Democratic convention as punishment failed utterly, presumably due to a combination of insufficient patriotism, gratuitous profanity, and overly alarming eyebrows. Also, the blood feud with the CCA may have been a sticking point. That and the insufficient number of honey cruller TimBits we brought to the interview. They really are that good.

Back to the topic at hand: as we have mentioned before, we rejoice at the distinct lack of malaise to be found in posts and comments these days. In fact, recent efforts have garnered 70 comments and counting in a single post, in the space of three days. This level of malarkey is rarely seen outside of header, condiment, and punning contests. None of which, incidentally, have been seen for some time.

We therefore turn to you, the loyal readers, for summer cobagitation suggestions. And also, of course, a fight to the death between the ombudsmoose and a blog mascot of the commenters’ choosing. Weapons to be provided at, or to acquire, lunch. Reenactments, of course, are encouraged.

As usual, we invite readers and bloggers alike to voice their concerns in comments below, or by emailing your Ombirdspersonmoose at the usual address.

  • I think I should finish a battle rap. A pimped Take 5 is always a good thing. Maybe some pooper shooters. Also, we might need to hammer Aravosis. This means I should start reading A-blog.

  • You deplore it but do you also renounce and reject said demi-assedness?

  • I think the ombudsbirdsmøøsespantsies is in bed with semi-demiassedness.

  • I would like to see the ombudsbirdsmøøsespantsies fight in a cage match against Blue Man Group. They would only be allowed vomited marshmallows as weapons.

  • I just saw that A-blog got special blogger credentials for the DNC convention. That should provide some fun Emu fodder. It’s a long ways away though.

  • I think you also missed the recent fish-punning extravaganzissimo at Befouled. In fact, I believe one of my missives knocked Snag off his Moose.

    He also told me he was emotionally crushed by the non-appearance of punMastery by PP and UC. Myself, I felt us lesser lights were well served by the opportunity to swing away without fear of excessive pwnage.

    But don’t trust the Little White Man.

  • I just enjoyed a tasty but way over-priced vietnamese sandwich. Now I am spoiled for all time!! and it lacked the jalapeno ending, so I had to cover it with chili sauce. I did try to make up for teh over-pricedness by stealing a handful of sriracha packets.

  • fish-punning

    It sounds so dirty when you say it that way.

  • Sriracha packets?? TAKE me to THIS AMAZING WONDERLAND!

    In the old days we had to squirt sriracha on mosquito bites because we didn’t have caladryl. And we didn’t super soakers either so water-gun fights were “sriracha bottle” fights.

    I don’t know from your sriracha packets.

  • I’d like to complain about the use of Hulu on this blog and the fact the winter approaches not summer? Why does this bog have to be so northohemispheriounitedstatesofamericacentric?

  • I know, Hulu does suck, but maybe you should post some New Zealand stylee?

  • I need to hear more about sriracha packets. I’ve never seen them before. Were they factory-made or maybe little plastic bags of spicy roosterdom made up special in back and sealed with the food saver someone bought off late night TV years ago?

  • Your collection of ombirdsmøøse is indeed half vast.

  • *TAP, TAP*

    this thing on??

  • Pop Ren, you scagwagon chundernozzle- I DIRECTLY invoked you existence at Song of the Day yesterday. And to prove that the world is indeed ending, I have the sneaking suspicion that thousands of people are condemning this blog as ridiculous and a waste of electrons. Your presence here proves them wrong! Huzzah!

  • oh SNAP – really?! AWESOME! i’m-a gonna go check that out!

  • Now thousands of people have been informed about sriracha packets. I believe our work here is done.

    /blog off.

  • Yeah, Kathleen, way to spread the word. You’re living the high life!

    To the secret atrios thread!

  • ps. the packets were located out the door of a certain fancy vietnamese eatery in a certain high-society-spend-all-your-money insane mall food court. That is all I can divulge at this time.

  • Me no entiende the Atrios link.

  • I think Thers was having a moment of despair, and he took a swig of fine, fine Mendacious D, who is making more sense that the current Democratic primary season.

  • I think I would wish the Bryan? Ferry Buildings About Songs and Food into another dimension. A dimension without cheese, and without hipster foodies who can afford to shop there. I will replace it with a Sonic. I am spiteful when the mood strikes!

    K- there are about 5 awesome-o Banh mi places a biilion times cheaper, though they reside in the Tustosan.

  • For the record:

    We do indeed renounce and deplore the above-mentioned issues. Further, we denounce and replore them. We reject, deject, project, inject, and remain open to the possibility that we might even go so far as to delect the obstreperous Ombudspants.

    Hopefully this will satisfy the delegates.
