I hope you're picking an outfit to wear.

IOZ, will you lower yourself to be there?

I'll probably attend, and as usual it will be just to meet some bloggers I think are terrific, and hopefully buy them a beverage or a meal.

Just wondering.

- I'm going away tomorrow for two weeks, on assignment. Guess where.
- LA?
- Pittsburgh.
- Fabulous. Don't stay in the sun too long. I heard it's bad for the skin.
- Come on. Isn't that where they make Who Is IOZ?
- Yeah. Why?
- I'm gonna audition. I was made for that blog.
- Nobody on earth was made for that blog. Hey, listen to me. Listen to me. I want you to stay away from it. Those IOZ guys, they play rough. Rougher than even Nicki Brand wants to play. Do you understand?
- Sounds like a challenge. Got a cigarette?
- It's not a challenge. I swear. You know, in Brazil, Central America, making underground blogs is considered a subversive act. They execute people for it. In Pittsburgh, who knows?

IOZ, I beg you, please attend the gathering of the Nutroots Nation. It'll be a laughcano!

There's an expansion to Fallout 3?! Awesomeness

I will make the journey to the right coast to attend DKos with IOZ! Let's start a movement!

John O said...

It would be fun to be an IOZ groupie at DKos.

It doesn't matter to me though. I like smart people, and I haven't considered myself a Democrat since i was about 20.

All I can think is, how fun would it be to get IOZ drunk, full, and raving against the very hosts we were there for?

Big Fun for me.

A confession is in order, however. The Dems are FAR more attached to reality than the current conservative movement is when it comes to common sense. IMO.

About American exceptionalism/imperialism, not so much. But most of the rest, not so bad.

I keep abusing my GOP pals by saying I'm far more afraid of my own government than I am Al Kayda. Makes their heads explode.

mattius said...

Wow. A couple hundred more comments like these and this could be a dkos thread. Reading this thread makes me a little confused as to why a blog derisive about the Obama phenomenon resonates so well amongst these here readers.

After all, even anarchists aren't immune to a sense of community and a longing for recognition from their exalted leader.

LA Confidential Pantload said...

mattius,

anarchists have an exalted leader? not to get too TBL on your ass, but what kind of anarchist are you?

rowan said...

I think it's more that partying with IOZ is likely to lead to getting fucked the fuck up, in a good way.

And nothing preps the body for that like, uh, listening to Digby?

Most of the rest? I can see why nobody reads your shitty blog. Other than when you post about Marley and Me.

And they'll get to swoon over Specter when they arrive.

What's your take on Specter, Monsieur IOZ?

george said...

Someone should make our boy a t-shirt that reads "I BE IOZ" for this event. Better yet make fifty thousand of them and throw in an equal number of Ronald Reagan rubber masks à la Point Break. Air-drop the whole lot over the city the night before the big show and prepare for an V for Vendetta-style uprising/gay rave to end-all uprising/gay raves.

Assuming that all works out and you're still trying to get an autograph, he'll be the guy eating pâté off of Arianna Huffington's ass while getting a hummer from Moulitsas in the VIP room.

Oh the humanity!

Dennis Perrin said...

I've done one of these gigs. Like attending a computer geek convention. Bloodless. Lifeless. Boring. Still, Kos paid for my fine hotel room overlooking Lake Michigan. So that was nice.

Maybe IOZ and I can crash this little do. That would help fill precious blog space.

Montag said...

i'd consider making the trip to PA to hang with IOZ and Perrin. i'd buy the first round even. though from there i imagine it devolves into fear and loathing in Pittsburgh only at the end, someone gets renditioned off to syria for trying to drive the muscle car onto the tarmac at the airport.

There's also a Marvel comic called THE PITT.
