"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Notorious Traitors of History
Benedict Arnold
Vidkun Quisling
Pssh...Small potatoes. According to Paul Krugman, this guy is a traitor to the whole freakin' planet
Especially when he fires up his 1988 Suburban and heads off to the store to buy cigarettes.
No, that is not Dan Akroyd! Sheesh! You're at least the third person who's accused me of looking like Akroyd, Steve. Although that's better than being told one looks like Steve King (which also happened to me, once).
Back in the olden longhair days I was often mistaken for Ted Nugent or Kurt Rambis. Must have been the alcohol 'cause Rambis is 6'8" and I'm maybe 5'11".
Just have to share this comment by "Duke of Sharon" off Kimball's blog:
"The Aztecs not only pioneered the chocolate industry but the Environmental segment of the Fear Industry as well. They produced scientific consensus on the need for human sacrifice: For half of the year, the sun was obviously moving farther south every day and unless society woke up and did something about it, the sun would continue to move south, bringing about darkness, death, and ruin. It would have been irresponsible to not do something!"
Evil, pure undiluted evil. A long coat made from thousands of Polar Bear eyelids, a necktie that was once used to strangle a hippy to death and sunglasses that conceal eyes with a piercing red glow.
I'm betting those hobnailed shoes have repeatedly been used to crush dissent.
I understand you didn't want to scare the neighbors (any more than they already might be) but you'd look even sharper carrying a Tommy gun.
You look like the type of counterculture nonconformist who would openly keep a planet assassinating carbon outputting device in your backyard (aka a grill).
Is that Dan Akroyd?
ReplyDeleteAnd booze, Paco. Cigarettes and booze.
ReplyDeleteNo, that is not Dan Akroyd! Sheesh! You're at least the third person who's accused me of looking like Akroyd, Steve. Although that's better than being told one looks like Steve King (which also happened to me, once).
ReplyDeleteat last we see the notorious paco

ReplyDeleteWhat no zoot suit?
ReplyDeleteVerry dapper anyway.
Akroyd? I was thinking more like Lenny of Laverne and Shirley fame....(runs out the door......)
ReplyDeleteOld Tanker, you come back here!
ReplyDeleteBy 'Traitor' Krugman means Heretic.

It's because of the booze that the ciggies have to be bought, JeffS.
ReplyDeleteExcept that I'm too lazy I'd make separate trips to get the booze, ciggies and food, just to create a bigger carbon footprint.
These days being labeled a traitor by the lefties counts as a badge of honor.

Bruce: That's a superb analogy to the Gore wing of enviro-fabulism!
ReplyDeleteBorn to different sets of parents and yet you and Wron are identical twins! Strange.

Sartorial excellence.
Penguin
Paco, if you knocked on my door at midnight I'd be worried, especially at 4ft 36inches.
ReplyDeletePenguin: Correct in every detail!
ReplyDeleteI understand you didn't want to scare the neighbors (any more than they already might be) but you'd look even sharper carrying a Tommy gun.

Grill maintained, as suspected..
ReplyDeletePaco, as per the good Colonel's suggestion, here's where to go if you have a few shekels to spare....
ReplyDeleteMy image of Detective Paco down to the last thread and spit-shine!
ReplyDeleteJeff: I would love to have one of those! I wonder if I can convince Mrs. Paco that it would be a good investment?
ReplyDeleteRebecca: Thankee, ma'am. Although I generally picture Detective Paco as being...er...about 20 pounds lighter.
Hey,as an expact Brit living in Canada, I must disagree!!!
ReplyDeleteBenedict Arniold was a good guy, hero!
As for everything else, I agree.
Isn't Dan Aykroyd a Canadian, born in ottawa, no less!!!
ReplyDeleteHa! QED!
Are those knuckle dusters on your right hand, Paco?
ReplyDeleteNo, no, my boy! That's just a ring (with the family crest, as a matter of fact: two cats fighting over a garbage can).
ReplyDeleteJust tell Mrs. Paco that it's a "Chicago typewriter", is considered a business expense, and is therefore tax deductible.
ReplyDeleteEasy peasy!
