Blog traffic
Previously a very popular image leading people to this blog was:
from the blog post "What are you eating?". I wonder; why this photo would interest anyone?
Of course, people came to the blog when they clicked on other pictures as well, such as the lovely photos of Amy Winehouse. For example,
is an image from the blog post "National character".
However, by far the most popular photo in this blog, at least judging by the number of people who click on the image and are lead to this Skypeland Adventures blog, is:
from the blog post "Bitch tits". I notice that about 90% of the visitors to this blog in the last 24 hours came because they clicked on this photo. They came from Sweden and Belgium and the Netherlands and the UK (quite a few from the UK, actually) and Montreal and Pennsylvania and Germany and Connecticut and Germany and New Zealand, all because they clicked on this photo after doing a google search that retrieved this image.
I am not sure what this means, if anything, but it is interesting. Perhaps it shows that people are interested in the breasts of both women and men, artfully and attractively displayed. From what I have seen so far however, the men are winning out by a huge margin, contrary to what you might imagine.

Pricks
Some willingly give out their personal information, like the "Spam King" BW. Others give out some of their personal information, like Mucus. A few, like the mystery man A, give out what they claim is their personal information, and then deny that they ever did it. The mystery man A also has betrayed storyteller D's confidence, and released D's personal information, and then denied that he did that, making up some highly dubious story (however, to be honest, he was not particularly convincing given his track record). By contrast some, like the lovely long-legged vixen RL of Arizona, have tried to maintain some privacy and not reveal much about their true identities.
Mucus was banned from one Skypeland venue for 3 days for revealing RL's personal information, and then allowed back after he apologized. However, Mucus was still fuming:

From this post we see how angry Mucus still is, several days later.

What a foul-mouthed nasty bitch she is what horrible crap comes out of her mouth the sick bitch!
I wonder if Mucus has considered comparing what comes out of RL's mouth with what comes out of his own mouth? Or Mr. Wee Wee Hands? Or the multimillionaire special forces operative and bathroom contractor R? Or any number of other visitors to Skypeland?
Russia should have nuked you all
Submitted by Anonymous24 (not verified) on Tue, 07/21/2009 - 13:42.
What I hear from you wankers and the utter crap that spills from your mouths, has led me to the conclusion that you should have all been nuked by the Russians back in the 80's. The world would be a much better place than it is now without arsewipe yankies around touting your guns and crap. Most of the stuff you talk about is war, you lot are obsessed with war and violence you sick puppies! Listen to the debassed crap that comes out of your very large Amercian mouths! I used to think the yanks were a nice enough people but after hearing the shit you utter and the depths of depravity that you go to, maybe it's time to change my opinion! YOU ARE A BUNCH OF NASTY FUCKING CUNTS!
When I read this sort of nonsense from this angry ignorant unemployed high school dropout, I just shake my head.
fucking power crazy cunts
Submitted by Anonymous45 (not verified) on Tue, 07/21/2009 - 13:59.
Oh I'm going to lock the conference to stop the people I don't want coming in my room! FUCKING PRICKS!
Finally, after all this provocation, someone responded with:
PM Needs to Control Himself
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 07/21/2009 - 17:39.
Using the IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, this mucus of a man, the worthless piece of shit that he is, has decided he will pick on innocent civilians and will attempt to destroy the lives of others. As such, all digital traffic coming in and out of networks close to X will be monitored and placed on a watch list. Proper authorities have been identified and PM will be forced to learn for once in his empty life. So watch out PM, or one day your Internet will be taken away and you will be answering for yourself to men who don't find your attitude amusing.
This post was quickly removed, however, when someone thought the better of it. I think it is still quite interesting and instructive, myself. I don't know if Mucus will calm down, or if the other angry Brits will calm down. It is amazing that something so simple should be blown up out of all proportion, however.
Addendum
Here is a further comment, presumably from Mucus, a few days later, probably in response to this blog post:

A troll technique
There are only a few responses possible. If one has control of the moderator controls, one can shut down the microphone of the troll, and allow someone to answer the troll. One can just give up, and leave the discussion. Or one can respond in kind. Most disruptive elements complain bitterly when anyone gives them a taste of their own medicine. Like most bullies, they can dish it out, but they cannot take it.
The muck expert Mucus recently was banned from one Skypeland venue for 3 days for having advertised L's real name in a Skypeland discussion. Mucus was incensed by this, and talked about how unfair it was since people in the room were "racist" to say he is stupid, and to not let him spew antiAmerican and antiSemitic material unimpeded (this little brown man, son of immigrants from Cyprus, and genetically indistinguishable from a Turk, wants to claim he is a "proper Brit" usually; however, he screams "racism" when he thinks it will give him an advantage).
Mucus' buddy, the indolent incomparably incomprehensible Yorkhire pipefitter Mrs. B came to Mucus' defense and attacked me for supposedly having used the real name of someone else in the room. Makes good sense; I didn't ban Mucus, and I did not even hear what he did. But when the Brits want to get even, they attack me. And the mystery man A joined in to assist them, and the Brits cheered him and egged him on.
The shrill shrew J's Skype name is "Anne Boleyn" . Therefore, in one Skypeland discussion, I and others often refer to the shrill shrew J as "Anne" or "Anne Boleyn". Of course, I have no idea what the shrill shrew J's real name is.
Mrs. B got himself all worked up into a state of high dudgeon and claimed that I was not allowed to use the names "Anne" or "Anne Boleyn" in a Skypeland room since these names were supposedly J's real names. Mrs. B claimed that because I said the name "Anne Boleyn" in the Skypeland room, I should be banned. Since I was not banned, this was evidence of gross inequity and discrimination, and showed that people are outrageously unfair to Mucus.
Again Mrs. B brought up the complaint that because this discussion is supposed to be "fair and unbalanced", that therefore I should be forbidden from speaking. On the other hand, Mrs. B asserted that Mucus should be allowed to make whatever misogenic, antiAmerican or antiSemitic statement he liked, and even threaten to kill anyone he liked including the room moderators and those paying for the room. Mrs. B agreed that anyone objecting to Mucus' crazy opinions and threats showed that Mucus was being discriminated against by "evil racists". How is it that not a single one of these great geniuses can figure out what the term UNbalanced means? No matter how often it is explained to them, they are unable to look it up in a book or online, or else they do not care. I would not have thought that was a difficult concept to get across, but it clearly is. However, it does tell one what sort of idiocy one is dealing with.
When I tried to explain, Mrs. B refused to listen, and instead just talked over me. Well, I guess I should not have expected any more than this from Mrs B. He is just unable to understand and reason in any rational way, and is very arrogant about his superiority.
As I have said before, he is "proud to be stupid".
Addition
Although Mucus was "banned" for 3 days, he was back in the Skypeland discussion less than 12 hours later. Subsequently, the "ban" on Mucus was lifted early. However, Mrs. B was so angry about this treatment of Mucus, that he announced he would leave Skypeland forever.
Oh brother. More pointless drama.

Gardening
The moderator S has a large garden with a rustic fence around it. His tomato plants were already over 6 feet in height at the start of July. S gets so many vegetables from his garden he cannot eat it all and he has to give most of them away. He is constantly on the lookout for various critters from the surrounding woods who try to sneak in and raid his garden.
Many of the Brits mock S for his gardening efforts. Mucus has asserted that leaves are not good composting material since Mucus claims there is no material in leaves that are nutritious for plants. Mucus also flew into a rage when S said he was putting lime on his garden, since Mucus said one should only put manure on a garden. Mucus cursed and insulted S for being so stupid that he would think lime was beneficial for a garden.
The international mercenary and bathroom contractor R claims he has a massive garden. To prove this, R passed around a picture supposedly showing him riding a small lawn tractor. The man in the photo is wearing a pair of rubber boots and giving the photographer the finger.
However, several Skypelanders raised the question of whether this was even R at all (the face looks a bit different from his other pictures, and the figure in the photo is wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap). Some wondered if this picture did show R on a tractor, was he just making a few extra quid mowing lawns in the neighborhood?.
G in Texas is quite proud of his garden and gives tours of his garden by webcam. G is also interested in inventing and flying novel kinds of kites, which he flies near his garden.
Roxy the "foxy" likes to spend time in the garden, digging and sniffing around. I had friends with a chihuahua that used to raid the garden for peas and carrots. He pulled up the carrots and onions and ate them. I don't know if Roxy does anything similar. Roxy smells so bad that I think no one gets close enough to her for long enough to see what she does in the garden.
K had a garden that was often visited by foxes in the UK. She fed them pizza and dog food and they ate from her hand. However, she found that the foxes danced in her garden and trod down the plants. Also they pooped on the potato plants, crapped on the cabbages, peed on the peas, dropped turds on the turnips and shit on the shallots. K remarked that the foxes had very pungent poos and they did a lot of damage to the plants.
Here are a few of K's comments on the matter:
[8:46:06 AM] K says: yeah not here....yes they ewere rather ''not going to eat those'' i made a veg patch for my upstairs neighbours kid...she liked the foxes more
[9:19:53 AM] K says: they do do (do do hahhah) rather pungent poos
I asked the lovely T if she gardened. T told me that she had some issues with a garden:
[9:40:30 AM] P says: did you ever garden?
[9:41:18 AM] T says: oh yes i just wrecked my friends vegetable garden, didnt water it enough, i take care of their house and garden for one month ooooooooooops. im taking care of the turkish family ( my friends ) house and garden
[9:47:25 AM] T says: and in their traditional they have lots of spinach
[9:47:41 AM] T says: i have to cut it and clean it and put it to the freezer
[9:48:10 AM] T says: there is so much weed that i cant tell the difference of weed of spinach
[9:48:26 AM] T says: so whats the reason for putting weed in the freezer you see
Not everyone in Skypeland thinks that gardening is interesting to talk about however:
[9:57:10 AM] Q says: i do not garden.
[9:57:12 AM] Q says: plants hate me.
[9:57:26 AM] Q says: but, most of the men on here seem to do some type of gardening.
[9:57:28 AM] Q says: how gay.
Well I guess you can't please everyone. And in the case of some of the Brits, talking about gardening just seems to lead to anger and insults and death threats.
A strange search
Yesterday, someone in Tampa, Florida did an AOL search for the phrase "cunt with mucus" and the second most prominent hit was my blog post entitled "Starvation". Although I am glad to welcome readers here no matter how they find the blog, I do have to wonder about what this person was looking for. Did they want information about a medical problem perhaps? If that is true, this blog is probably not the best place to look.

King of the Loo
King of the loo, obsessed with poo
He says he is rich, but he's prolly someone's bitch
Says he's a killer, but that is clearly filler
Claims his family mined gems, he talks 'bout BMs
His bragging wont quit, he looks like Brad Shit
When plastered he has fits, he said he's got tits
Can't get a rut, eats cheese from a butt
Bet he wears a skirt, he sure tries to flirt
Not really Norman Bates, more like "Norman Fellates"
Likes it up his rear, looks for a volunteer
Obviously queer, drunk but not on beer
Wants to get a pump, right up his rump
In the same damn hole from which he takes a dump
Mohammed was right
Sarah was asked about Mohammed's last wife Aisha. Mohammed became engaged to Aisha when Aisha was 6, and engaged in intercrural sex (known in the Arabic world as "thighing") with Aisha until she was 9, when Mohammed married Aisha and started having regular intercourse with her. Some believe that Aisha contracted syphilis from Mohammed before they were married since the Hadiths record that after these bouts of intercrural sex, Aisha became very ill and lost all her hair and was infertile afterwards, which are symptoms of syphilitic infection.
Sarah alleged that "Mohammed was right in fucking Aisha" because Mohammed "knew how to handle her properly".
Well nothing like maintaining your position at all costs, is there? Somehow, Sarah's efforts to defend Mohammed weaken her position and make me even less respectful of Muslims. She should quit while she is behind.

Bitch tits
Some asked R why he was so offensive and obnoxious. R said, "To be honest I don't like people beating others up". However, LY from Iceland said to R that "You are always threatening to beat people up". R responded "Well yes but that is the entire point".
My impression is that R demands that those who want to promote antiAmerican and antiSemitic views in a pro-American and pro-Jewish Skypeland venue be allowed to do so unimpeded. R therefore believes he is justified in acting as rude as possible.
R told us his family was very wealthy in Africa, and owned hotels and diamond mines. When white rule in Rhodesia collapsed, R said he stuffed his pockets with gems and walked for 24 days with a gun to get to South Africa. On his way, R supposedly rescued a princess named Scarlet that he found.
Later he said that one of the participants in the room, D, was "getting on my tits". At this, D broke out into song about R's "bitch tits", which I guess is a colloquial name for the condition known as "gynecomastia". This song just made R more irritated, and soon R was threatening to hunt D down and kill him.
R also posts comments on a website associated with a Skypeland venue. Here is a recent sample:

*educate??
Submitted by FG on Wed, 07/15/2009 - 06:48.
Do you vomit after one bottle of vodka or two?? Does your mom clean up the mess, or does your dog lick it up?
The problem is not that R is offensive, but he is so drunk and obnoxious and tedious, that he is pure poison to a Skypeland conversation. Very few people can listen to him more than a short period.
Starvation
Here is a sample of some of his rantings:
*"Nobody starves in the UK. Go to the grocery and help yourself to food". When the moderator S asked Mucus if he therefore steals food out of the grocery, Mucus was silent.
*When a lady in the room tried to talk to Mucus, he responded, "As I have noted before, I am talking to the engine driver and not the oil rat".
*I have noted on a number of occasions that Mucus is essentially and genetically the same as a Turk, and Mucus asked me "How am I a Turk?". I tried explain about genetics and DNA, but of course Mucus would not let me, spewing a long diatribe of nonsense, curses and insults.
*Mucus claimed "blacks are more attractive than whites". Maybe this has something to do with Mucus' very brown skin.
*When the lovely V from Arizona said " I have an headache so I have to get an aspirin", Mucus responded, "So fuck off then".
*The room moderator S tried to engage Mucus in conversation, but Mucus retorted that "no one believes anything out of your shitty mouth" and told him to "go fornicate yourself...Disappear like a rat up a drainpipe you fucking cretin."
*When S asked Mucus if he would go on a rock and roll tour to Australia, Mucus was enraged, and squealed, "He is fucking insulting me!". Mucus asked S if he had ever been out of America, and S said that just a few months ago he went to Mexico. However, Mucus charged that "S didn't get out of fucking America because Mexico is fucking next door".
I have noticed that Mucus seems obssessed with male appearance. Mucus brags about how large he is and revealed that he stands 5'8", and therefore is "very tall".
I am sure even this number is probably an exaggeration, but I told Mucus that in the US, this is not even the average height for a male and often would be regarded as quite short (the National Center for Health Statistics in the US puts the current average US male height at 5'9.2"). This put Mucus back a bit.
When Mucus has no other argument to make, he engages in personal attacks, usually about people's looks. Mucus made several negative comments about my looks, and said he was in possession of a picture of me wearing a striped shirt and glasses, calling me "four eyes". Sounds interesting. I would love to see this picture. Maybe I can use it as a profile picture.
When the moderator S tried to calm Mucus down and get him to talk in a civil tone, Mucus called him "fatty" and said in a picture he had his "dinner down [his] trott", leading Mucus to allege that S "couldn't be bothered to change [his] shirt to have a fucking photo". Mucus called S "a parafin lamp... a fucking tramp" and said "Need an elephant gun to shoot you, you fat cunt. Need a harpoon, you fucking cunt".
Mucus, who has about a grade 8 education and has bragged that his secret trick on job applications is to write down that he cannot read or write, then challenged the moderator S and me about our vocabularies in English, claiming his was superior. I accepted his challenge but as soon as I did, Mucus quickly beat a retreat and shut up.
S speculated that the reason for this incredible angry incoherent outburst was that Mucus is on the edge of starvation. I am not sure, but it is possible.

Tits so big it is unreal
There was a lot of background noise in Skype, and LB thought that a grinding noise was someone talking to her:
Are you chewing a brick or talking to me? Can you get your fucking monkey back and stop squealing in the background? Stand up and be a real man...Sit there and fucking snigger. Fucking stand up. Be proud to be a man!
I said I was not talking to her and that my microphone was muted. She said, "I am muted? Why do you think I am muted?"
LB's connection was horrible, as it always is, and so she was dropped every few minutes. When she came back, she said:
So proud of yourself. You have to kick a woman.
A lot of what LB said made no sense, such as "You know how gobby I can be. Intellectually I can be so superior to gobbiness".
There was constant grinding in the background, and LB asked, "Do you want to have a wee wank again, muppet?"
LB offered the ladies present some advice on how to deal with the bathroom contractor R. "Get your shoulders back and be proud to be emotional", said LB.
One of the ladies listening was the fairly buxom YL from Iceland. A male said that if YL put her shoulders back, his eyes would pop out of his head. To this, LB replied, " That is nothing. My tits are so big it is unreal".
Oh my.
Cow poo
True to her English heritage, Roxy also likes to eat pies; but in her case, they are cow pies.
Yep. Meadow muffins are Roxy's favorite snack. She likes to munch milker merde. That is, bovine butt nuggets. Cattle keester cakes. Moo movements. Taurine turds. Dogie defecation disks. Ox ordure. Longhorn leavings. Bison BM business. Lineback logs. Buffalo brown bombs. Calf caca. Guernsey Guano. White park waste. Steer stools. Charolais shite. Lourdais lumps. Bull bottom biscuits. Holstein hershey hunks. Angus ass apples. Beef bum brownies.
Mmm tasty. However, having tried British food myself, I cannot say that Roxy's diet seems that different to me than what the Brits normally eat. And after all, fox terriers are a British breed, so it all makes sense.

Crustier and crustier
T expressed some discomfort with the personal habits of the young lady who went to Morocco twice. Beset with diarrhea, and after several days of prolonged sessions with her beau in Morocco without benefit of lavation, this young lady woke up "crusty". T was nonplussed.
When someone in Skypeland came across a video with hygiene advice for gentlemen entitled "Wash Yo Nuts", T was very enthusiastic. T said every male she had ever met had sanitation challenges of various sorts. T was anxious to advise men that it is important for males to clean themselves properly. T offered a lot of tips and suggestions.
T also felt it was very unfair of men to complain about what women smell like, since she herself is a paragon of freshness and salutary asepsis. When I suggested that T might want to watch the related videos "Wash Yo Ass" and "Wash Yo Azz" which were mostly directed at women, T was dismissive.
It is interesting that there are a huge number of similar videos and songs like the hits "Girl you stank" and "Girl, you really stank" and "Wash your ass". I wonder if there is a pattern here...
Recently, we heard that T had been hard at work all day long and that at 10 pm or so, still had not had a shower. T explained that she had been unable to take a shower since she was working so hard.
However, as the conversation progressed, we found out a bit more. First, we found out that T had been watching movies and George Carlin videos that day. Then we found out that T's handsome boyfriend Buff Hunkley had spent the entire day with her, and he had not showered all day either.
In fact, since this was a Monday, it was highly likely that Hunkley had been at T's place since Friday night. T spends every weekend with Hunkley, and T and Hunkley engage in sweaty multihour sex marathons whenever they are together. T is usually barely able to walk for days afterwards. I wonder if T and Hunkley even hosed off for several days, and in fact might have both been getting a little ripe by Monday night.
In fact, I can imagine that they were both a bit crusty.
You smell like poo
*AN from Finland is a lovely young 27 year old lady who lives with her father after her 73 year old boyfriend booted her out. AN is reportedly Hitler's granddaughter, or at least according to her grandmother who has dementia. AN weighs in at a fairly hefty 238 pounds, but AN says she is not "sloppy fat", and has dropped a few pounds recently.
AN unfortunately has a nervous disorder so she cannot work, and suffered from a stroke when she was a teenager. AN wants to be married, live on a farm, and wants to breed and raise dogs. One can often hear AN talking to her father's elderly dogs in Finnish, and the dogs responding. AN also has several parrots and often walks around town with a parrot on her shoulder.
*F from California has a small dog that is very tough, and likes to challenge much larger dogs by biting them "right in the nads".
*The jetsetting bathroom contractor R is very proud of his rottweiler and passes around pictures.
*T has a Siamese cat that likes to yowl into the microphone and to jump on T's naked lap when T is taking shower.
*K from Austria has a dog that often pipes up with comments in the background.
*FG from New Zealand has a fox terrier named "Roxy" that lives outside in a dog house. The "foxy" guards the house from strangers, even those supposed to be there, barking and growling and baring her teeth. No one plays with this dog because it likes to bite and it smells like excrement, since it loves to "eat poop and roll in poop".
Ah yes. I guess I understand why some might find it a bit difficult to hang around with the "foxy" very much.

On patrol
Many just use a Skypeland discussion as a radio, and rarely if ever weigh in and contribute themselves. Others are much more acutely aware of what is being said, and attempt to respond to any comments they object to. Some even try to censor or silence conversations. For example:
*C from Denmark
C will interrupt an exchange to tell various Skypeland participants that they "talk to much" or tell them to "piss off" and yell out, "you bastard". C has a tendency to try to protect Islamic extremists, Holocaust Deniers, antiSemites and conspiracy theorists by telling those arguing against them to shut up.
*D from Greece
D sits in Skypeland for prolonged stints, telling jokes, recounting stories, and giving advice. D has a few special topics he always returns to however. He is a fierce defender of Israel, and frequently brings up Baba Yar, Ukrainian site of a Nazi slaughter of tens of thousands of Jews during World War II.
*the international spy and hit man, bathroom contractor R
R is loud and obnoxious and almost always drunk when he is in Skypeland. R has a difficult time letting anyone else speak, and always tries to turn every conversation around to a discourse on anal sex, excrement, evacuation and male buttocks. R threatens to slaughter anyone who challenges him and eat their flesh.
Of course, R claims he has no homosexual tendencies and is not at all violent.
*Mucus
Unemployed and frequently starving, malnourished uneducated angry muck expert and high school dropout Mucus sits in Skypeland smoking one hand-rolled cigarette after another, snorting and sniffling, breathing through his mouth noisily. A few days ago Mucus said his secret technique when applying for jobs is to claim he cannot read and write, giving him an "advantage" over others. Reading some postings by Mucus on a website, I wonder if this tactic is closer to the truth than Mucus lets on.
Mucus attacks almost any American that dares to speak in one Skypeland venue. He complains bitterly that he hates the evil United States, the dirty filthy Jews and a country he believes is worse than Nazi Germany, Israel. If anyone tries to discuss anything with Mucus, and particularly if they disagree with Mucus, Mucus lets loose with a stream of expletives and imprecations, and fantasizes about how nice it would be to murder as many people listening as possible.
However, Mucus claims he is not antiAmerican, or uneducated, and that he is perfectly sane and rational. And he wants to kill you if you disagree.
*the mystery man A
Perhaps the champion "room patroller" in Skypeland is the mystery man A. The mystery man A will either sit quietly monitoring a discussion for hours and hours, many times illegally recording the participants in an attempt to embarrass and harass them, or blurt out a comment every few minutes for hours and hours on end.
The mystery man A tries to drive out anyone he dislikes from a room, or change the topic of conversation. The mystery man A brags and brags about his supposedly glorious resume and chants things like "shut the fuck up shut the fuck up shut the fuck up" over and over and over to drown out others. The mystery man A plays recordings of people he dislikes for long extended periods to silence conversations he wants to stop.
If anyone expresses some reservations about mystery man A's screwball conspiracy theories, or his claims that the Holocaust never happened, or A's allegations that there is a secret worldwide cabal of Jews running the world, the mystery man A threatens to harass them, or "out" them, to sue them, or to hunt them down and kill them. [1] The mystery man A nurtures acrimonious relationships with a huge stable of Skypelanders on his "enemies list".
On the day of the mystery man A's purported wedding, he visited one Skypeland venue every 10 or 15 minutes for about 20 hours straight. The mystery man A visits Skypeland at midnight his time, and at 4 am his time. The mystery man A visits Skypeland during the work day. The mystery man A visits Skypeland when you would think he would be with his young family and his alleged wife, or dealing with the multimillion dollar international businesses he supposedly operates.
The mystery man A has advertised for months that his only purpose for visiting Skypeland is to disrupt discussions, cause dissension, irritate others, create confusion, engage in obstreperous trolling and generally piss people off. The net effect is that the mystery man A probably causes more fights, drives more people away from Skypeland and prematurely destroys more conversations than anyone else in Skypeland.
I guess it is extremely important to the mystery man A that he patrol one particular Skypeland venue. He has repeatedly said he was leaving forever it because of someone insulting his father, or some other alleged affront, but then he is back within hours to engage in more petulant belligerent behavior.
I don't know why this "Skypeland patrolman" is so desperate and even frantic to squelch discussions and comments he disagrees with. It would be a simple matter for the mystery man A to host conversations in another room dedicated to his own particular interests. However, I get the impression that bullying others just is too much fun for him.

Perfect fit
*You pole dance a nudger. Then he cackled drunkenly.
It took R about 10 tries to get that out. It still did not make any sense, however.
*Unless you can ask this and take a crap sit on a toilet, you have an entire campaign about taking a shit. As usual, R displayed plenty of his anal fixation.
*Take a turd on a toilet on a fucking toilet where you sit up straight. About half of his comments made some reference to backdoor sex, or fecal material, and related subjects.
*If you are hunting terrorists in Africa and eat cheese or any kind of dairy they can smell you for miles. I have heard about people being able to smell you when you cut the cheese, but I did not know they could smell you because you just eat cheese. I also know about another kind of body odor associated with cheese, but I don't think R was talking about that (it should be noted that R has his own special interest in cheese, as frequent readers of this blog know).
R made the mistake of attacking the lovely long-legged P from California and suggesting she did not ever have sex. P responded:
*I fuck so much I can't even handle it. And we are a perfect fit too.
That put him in his place, and R quickly beat a retreat. R changed the topic.
Food prices
Of course, many have atrocious diets by choice, but a disturbing aspect that emerges is that good food is not uniformly readily available in many Western countries, or it is prohibitively expensive. One of the most common complaints is that "junk food" is more expensive than fresh fruits and vegetables in many areas. Of course this is troubling, but it can be interesting to compare current food prices in the US (taken from the fairly high end supermarket Giant Foods) and the UK [1] [2] and other places to shed some more light on this issue:
*Bananas are roughly 0.58$/pound in the US, and about 0.63$/pound in the UK. These are not produced in the US, but they are still about 10% cheaper in the US than in the UK. Often bananas in Germany, France and Japan are at least 50% more than they are in the US and are sometimes even double the American prices. [3] (I just found bananas at 0.50$/pound at a US grocery).
*Apples are 1.00$/pound in the US and about 1.07$/pound in the UK. Again, the prices are close, with US prices being a few percent less than UK prices. There is some variation depending on the type of apples compared.
*Vidalia onions are 1.00$/pound in the US compared with sweet onions costing 2.45$/pound in the UK. This is a dramatic difference, but regular onions are about the same price in the two countries. I have since found Vidalia onions for about 0.95$ a pound in a US store.
*Hamburger meat in the UK is about 3.12$/pound and about 3.00$/ pound in the US, which is only slightly less. Anyone who has compared the taste of these will quickly realize there is a substantial quality difference between them, however.
*Potatoes in the US are about 0.80$/pound and 0.58$/pound in the UK, perhaps contributing to their popularity in UK diets.
*A dozen medium size free range eggs in the UK are 4.25$ and a dozen large size free range eggs in the US are 3.39$. The cheapest eggs I could find at the UK supermarket Ocado are about 0.31$/egg and the cheapest eggs are 0.16$/egg at US supermarket Giant Foods. I know I could find much cheaper eggs at other less expensive US grocery stores (for example, just after I wrote this, I found eggs at another US grocery store priced at 0.14$/egg. I then found another US store that is selling organic eggs at 0.0825$/egg.).
*Six salad tomatoes in the US are 0.48$, and six salad tomatoes in the UK are 1.48$. This is a surprisingly large difference.
*A gallon of milk in the UK is 4.11$ and a gallon of milk is 3.49$ in the US (A few days later, I found milk for sale for 3.09$ a gallon in the US at another store. I am pretty sure I could find it even cheaper if I kept looking, however. For example, a few days later I found it for 2.26$ a gallon at a US discount outlet.).
*Skippy peanut butter in the US is 0.14$/ounce and is 0.23$/ounce in the UK.
So obviously, some food prices are somewhat close in different countries, but in other cases, US food is far less expensive. Of course, as a fraction of aftertax income, the US prices are even lower. In 2006, Americans spent about 5.8% of their incomes on food, and British spent about 8.8% of their much lower incomes on food. [4] That is, the British spent 50% more of their incomes on food than Americans. However, there is not a lot of variety in the British diet; they eat 4 times as many potatoes per capita as the healthy-eating Italians for example. [5]
British food prices are increasing very rapidly as well. British food prices are rising at 4 times the rate of the rest of Europe. [6]
One of the most well-known indices of living standards is the "Big Mac Index". This tries to gauge the relative values of different currencies based on the price of a Big Mac in local McDonald's restaurants. For example, in February of 2009, the average price of a Big Mac in the US was $3.54 and was $3.30 in the UK. [7] However, incomes are much lower in the UK than they are in the US, particularly aftertax incomes. Therefore, in terms of the average amount of time working that is required to buy a Big Mac, the US is well ahead of the UK on the UBS Wealth Management variant of the Big Mac Index. [8]
In light of this, is it any wonder that some of the visitors to Skypeland from the UK are struggling to eat properly?
Debating a troll
He even bragged that he is just a troll and frequents Skypeland only to disrupt discourse and cause hard feelings and disruption. He misquotes, illegally records others without their permission, is a huge rumor-monger and attempts to "out", embarrass and stalk others as part of his toolkit.
The standard and recommended response to a troll infestation is "Don't feed the troll".
I have been following this advice for a while now. Of course, given that I have declined to have any further verbal exchanges with this troll, he has become increasingly irritated. He claims I am "boring" and a "pussy" because I have decided not to have any further discussions with him. He is frantic to connect with me and to "debate" me, and continually challenges me to do so.
However, this troll already had many many many chances to "debate" me. However, he has wasted all his chances. His debating techniques are highly suspect and consist of several "tricks":
(1) This troll never answers any questions, but relies on the standard polemical technique of changing the topic when the conversation gets uncomfortable for him, or the subject of the discussion is veering in a direction he finds unfavorable.
(2) A secondary tactic is to lob personal attacks when all else fails, and the troll is only too glad to do that as well in a sort of low-brow, poor man's demagogic approach.
(3) Another strategy employed by this troll is to claim he has an incredible personal resume; youngest ever UN representative, head of the Chernobyl inspection team, war hero, jet aircraft mechanic, multilingual genius, licensed ship captain and aircraft pilot, fish farmer, fur trader, multimillionaire businessman, and so on. Based on this purported record of achievement, he claims that everything he states should be accepted by everyone without question, or verifying some of the ridiculous statements he makes. When inconsistencies and inaccuracies in his personal vita are unveiled, undermining his putative authority to dictate to others, he flies into a rage.
(4) A more desperate maneuver he employs is to chant "shut the fuck up shut the fuck up shut the fuck up shut the fuck up..." over and over and over to drown out anyone he does not want to hear, like a baby throwing a tantrum.
(5) Finally he threatens those he is confronting if he cannot make progress any other way. He threatens to "out", "stalk", embarrass, humiliate, sue, physically beat or even kill those he disagrees with.
If anyone else gives this troll a taste of his own medicine however, he complains and whines and bitches and whinges and protests and gripes and groans and grumbles. He claims it is unfair if anyone treats him the same way he treats others. While he constantly challenges others and calls them names, he has one of the most fragile egos I have ever seen, sobbing, wailing, sniveling, bellyaching and carping if someone does something he objects to. If anyone questions his statements, or his vaunted personal record that he brags about, he gets extremely defensive and takes it as some sort of affront.
Today he tried again to goad me into "debating" him by "baiting" me with the allegation that I do not know the English language very well:
Oh X, learn to speak
Submitted by A (not verified) on Fri, 07/10/2009 - 09:54.
Oh X, learn to speak english, fix your shitty mic and take it to the room.
If I get all out of line, I'll get booted huh.
Yes that is right. I have no facility with the English language, compared to this multilingual and learned "genius". Let's take a look at some examples of his dexterity with the English language in a formal letter asking for assistance:
*Your unique insight to the problems these countries are facing could be of great aid the economic reformers tasked with the immense responsibilities of converting the Soviet machine into the freemarket players they need to be. So what is this supposed to mean? Care for a clumsy run-on sentence anyone? Maybe missing the word "to" at a critical location?
*You asked for more information about our organization, I will try to give you some background as to how we came about. Gee, he really knows how to punctuate properly, doesn't he? Yes he is a genius alright.
*During my time here I meet many other Americans that had come here to carry out some kind of mission, some were of a business nature and others of a non-profit nature such as humanitarian aid or to provide lectures, generally things of this nature. Nice to know you like the word "nature" a lot. This again is awkward and poorly punctuated. It would be better as at least 3 sentences rather than one long run-on sentence.
*As I saw more and more of this, and myself became a more seasoned as to the realities of life here, I began to notice that many of these people where not what they were said to be. Ever hear of the difference between "where" and "were"? And if this sentence does not scream "illiterate moron", I don't know what does.
*I became disgusted with touristic humanitarian aid and pirates of American educational funding. What is "touristic" humanitarian aid? Who are the "pirates" of American educational funding? What on earth does that even mean?
*Things like medicine, clothing in children's sizes, many forms of education (from STDs to Marketing), Quite frankly do not even exist. Punctuation is not a strong suit I notice.
And this is all in the first couple of paragraphs. The letter goes on and on, with one infelicity after another, each one more comical and stupid than the last.
Yes this troll sure has me pegged. He knows English a lot better than I do, for sure.

Smelly pussy
Today I noticed that someone in Georgia entered the query "does cialis give with a smelly pussy?" in a Netscape search. Somewhat surprisingly, this blog post from this Skypeland Adventures blog was the second hit, leading someone to come and read a few blog entries.
I do wonder about exactly what motivated this person to make this search query. One can only imagine, I guess.
I can almost smell it from here.
More political correctness
This Skypeland venue advertises itself as "fair and unbalanced". Interestingly, several participants in Skypeland immediately objected to this image. For example, one posted on an associated website:
I humbly request
Submitted by P on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 07:12.
That whoever is in charge of this site (S) takes the photo and text down. Please
This sort of response, which I have seen repeatedly in Skypeland, is interesting to me. This product, its name and this article are part of US history. They represent a particularly and distinctly ugly part of US history. But this article is so politically incorrect that it is comical.
I am amazed at the demands that S must be politically correct. Why must it be politically correct exactly? What about "fair and unbalanced" is not understood here?
So, to be "politically correct", should this Skypeland site:
*Put only proIslamic arguments on its site?
*Put lots of Holocaust denials on its site?
*Allow 911 conspiracy stuff on its site, but ban all debunking of 911 conspiracies?
*Put only antiAmerican rants on its site?
*Put Black Supremacist claims on its site?
*Describe Nation of Islam positions on its site? (I bet the Europeans do not even know what these are: try researching them on the internet and prepare to be shocked)
*Put only antiIsrael and proPalestinian material on its site?
*Have only pro-Obama propaganda on its site?
I am stunned over and over that people do not quite understand the obvious bias of Skypeland venue S. S is pro-American and pro-Israeli. S is against Islamic extremism. Period. This is not a secret.
However, people believe that they have a right to demand that S have a different agenda than it does. Or that people who visit S have different views than they do. And when they make their request or try to dictate what opinions others hold, and they are unsuccessful, they are surprised. Absolutely incredible.
In some cases, some Skypeland visitors (like Mucus and BT and mystery man A) call for the killing of those that disagree with them. Well go ahead and demand it. But realize that your demands might create a pretty negative image for you. It sort of colors how people think of you, you know?
Interestingly, this person P has a long record of intervening in the middle of arguments, ostensibly to plead for comity and a pleasant environment. However, after a few months one notices that P always intercedes on one side only; that is, to try to silence anyone arguing against Holocaust denial, or anyone disagreeing with 911 conspiracy theories, or anyone siding against Naziism or anyone deploring antiSemitism or anyone opposing anti-Americanism or anyone attacking left wing dictatorships or Islamic extremism.
Interesting.
I have noticed that a lot of people will therefore attribute various unsavory positions to P, since he always seems to interfere in a discussion to defend people holding these sorts of postures. P objects strenuously over and over that he does not subscribe to this sort of anti-American, anti-human rights, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel agenda.
However, actions speak louder than these denials, frankly.
A reasonable person might easily draw the obvious inference that P is in favor of killing all Jews, and killing all Americans, and Islamic terrorism and so on. Since P never disagrees with anyone spewing anti-American or anti-Semitic nonsense, and in fact defends them, a casual observer might interpret this as support for these people and their platforms. And guess what? People do interpret the evidence this way.
And then P gets offended when someone mentions it. Sorry. They are just stating what is quite evident to everyone else already. People should be careful about what sort of image they project, if they are sensitive about the impressions others might acquire.
Only his accent
Wow. What a claim.
To be honest, I have not really had any problems with Mr. Wee Wee Hands' accent.
I do not think that the reason Mr. Wee Wee Hands is blocked currently from several Skypeland venues is because of his accent. I do not think that Mr. Wee Wee Hands is vilified because of his accent.
Consider some of the blog posts I have made about Mr. Wee Wee Hands:
*Yankee
*Put the Al Qaeda prisoners on an island
*Topping up
*She is a he
*Nissan is not a capitalist company
*A little gentleman
I have not really mocked Mr. Wee Wee Hands' accent in these posts, or at least I have not made much of a big deal about it. I have had no problem understanding Mr. Wee Wee Hands. Other Brits like Mrs. B are very hard for me to understand and I have mocked their accents, but not Mr. Wee Wee Hands.
I am amazed at how this lovely Brit somehow seems to have ignored the main problem most have with Mr. Wee Wee Hands and instead blamed Wee Wee Hands' image difficulties on his accent.
I guess that says a lot about how some people think.
Addendum
Here is the response from the lady who motivated this entry:
wtf thats not what i sed .i mentioned his accent yes but i also sed u do it to all britts yav twisted it up ta suit yr self .very dissapointing
