"More than jagger, squirrel, and maybe even the great hongro himself"

to be fair, these other three all have their idiosyncrasies but none of 'em are really trolls like this uh, horse's patootie (why is he so in love with that word...? very weird). Geir SP and Jagger are at least genuinely interested in dialogue and ideas and stuff.

it seems like we can't decide if he should be banned or if we should just sit back and enjoy the LOLs... at least he's not like that dude who posted endless threads about what pop starlet fuck fantasies...

Calling Squirrel Police idiosyncratic is like selling cars from the junkyard as "gently used"

(x-post, you obv haven't rammed horns with the great wagamuffin enough to witness his patterns yet)

i sort of wanted to play devil's advocate and agree with wagemann's proposition b/c i was bored... but i can't really find one. i don't know what he's advocating, other than his weird list for his montly-updated blog.

max (maxreax), Friday, 29 September 2006 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

obviously his thesis is that rockists don't properly "understand Rap/HipHops influence on Rockism"

bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Friday, 29 September 2006 16:01 (seventeen years ago) link

haha it is amazing that notwithstanding/despite/because of his misunderstanding of the term, pew has decided that not only is "rockism" a stable, agreed-upon category within some unspecified classification system - he has decided to be FOR it!

Can someone explain to the Cat who I'm quoting above, how the enlgish language is an evolving entity...and I dont like the way the word 'Rock' has been hi-jacked by the Popcicle Popologists and used an and ISM. Am I the only one outraged that these Pop fairy's are besmirching our sacred Rock? Rock once stood for something dammit! It was more than music it was both the manifestation and the motivation of an ethos. A honest, working-class, lets get stoned on our lunch break and get shit-faced and chase titties in our Camero on weekends ETHIC!
Well, sure those times are gone. But at its best Rock was universal. It touched something inside of people, and it still does today--and I have set out to reclaim all that is good about Rock and turn the derogatory term 'rockism' back onto these popist snobs (like the blacks turned the degoratory term niggger around, like 'punks' turned the term punk around and like faggots...well, faggots never quite succeeded, but dag gummit at least they tried!!!)
So can somebody please explain that to this guy I quoted. Explain to them that ole Wagemann here isnt a mindless automaton who goes along with wahtever the popular trends and political correctness police tell him he's supposed to go along with. Old Wagemann is inspired by Richard Pryor (who comes from peoria, just across the river from my hometown) and plays by his own rules, speaks his own language, and who, sure, will have sex with a heavy set woman every so often--is that so wrong?

Long Live Rock!

jaymc
Pekin is were I was born and went to high school...I lived in marquette hieght from the age of ten to 18 though...
From 18 to 23 I lived all over the place, mostly Macomb, IL where I got a Bach Degree, then I moved to Chicago and have lived there every since.
I take it you are from central illinois as well?

Paul Edward Wagemann (PaulEdwardWagemann), Friday, 29 September 2006 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I liked PEW a lot better back when he seemed scrappy and serious. Now he knows he's in the limelight, so he lets on a bit too much with the fakery. It's like the difference between watching the original Ali G stuff and watching that talk show he did later, where he'd interview celebrities who knew he was in character.

It’s time to tell the truth about Smurfs. You see, Smurfs are a lot like other folks; they have dreams and ambitions, deep, thoughtful conversations with each other, and good and bad times.
“But,” people ask, “do Smurfs have... you know... sex?”

The answer is an emphatic and resounding yes! And why shouldn’t they? They’re people, too. What most people don’t know is why Smurfs are blue. Well, the reason is because Smurfs only have sex once a year. Face it: if you had sex only once a year, you’d be blue, too. Once a year, in the Smurf village, flags and banners fly happily in the breeze, proclaiming that the day of the annual Smuckfest has arrived. Birds sing and the Sun comes out to watch, despite the weather-Smurf’s direst predictions. I guess good ol’ Mr. Sun is a voyeur. In the middle of town, Papa Smurf gives a brief speech explaining the origin of the Smuckfest; how Dr. C. Everett Koop came to the village and warned all the Smurfs about AIDS.

This is an interesting question actually...were you being serious or is this some kind of ILX-inside joke that old wagemann aint privy to?

aw, it looks like PEW isn't pretending to be dead anymore. for the record, this was his original post:

Ed Wagemann passed away at the age of 43, leaving two young children behind, a boy who was five and a daughter who was 3. I was given the task of going through his personal belongings, some books and photo albums, some clothes. Ed did not have much in the form of material items, what he did have mostly were toys, clothes, stuffed animals, learning tools and board games for his kids. He did leave behind a laptop computer however.

I gathered his belongings, organized them and gave them away to friends and family. It took me weeks to get rid of everything. Everything except his laptop. Initially I tried to get onto his laptop and see what he had there, but I did not have his password. So I left it with a computer doctor and asked him to retrieve any files that he could. That was a few weeks ago. Then last week I get a call from the computer doctor. He transferred many files for me and I began going through them. What I found was nothing short of amazing. Ed had dozens of short stories and a half dozen novels he had written over the last 15 years. Only one of the stories had been published, back in 1997, and it won a Gold Circle award.

So for the last week as I'm reading Ed's amazing body of work I couldn't help but think that this stuff really needs to be shared with the rest of the literary community. Which is why I am here. I will be publishing a number of Ed's stories here over the next few weeks. The first one I published was written in 2002 as far as I can tell. It is called the girl with the crooked teeth. I hope you all enjoy it.

The Panty Thief of Bridgeport
by Ed Wagemann (Goodreads Author)
4.14 of 5 stars 7 ratings · 4 reviews

Its springtime in Chicago 1995 and someone has been prowling the working class/southside neighborhood of Bridgeport stealing women's panties. Jack Squat, a 20 something with a mysterious mechanism that is biorythmically integrated into his very spine has been gliding cautiously through his inner city life until he falls in love and has his heart broken by a beautiful ad executive named Samantha. When his 'mechanism' malfunctions at the worst possible time, Jack is forced to engage in a battle against this mysterious biological system of pulleys and levers that dwells within the depths of his own marrow. In the complex emotional game of cat and mouse that ensues it becomes obvious that what is at stake here is not only Jack's sense of self-worth, but his very soul.

A discussion started by "Jack," who gave the novel 5 stars:

Is Panty Thief of Bridgeport the first in the new genre of Dick Lit? Or has there been other Dick Lit novels that have come before this one?
If there are other Dick Lit novels, then can you name them???
