    YOU'VE NOT SEEN NOTHIN LIKE THE MIGHTY QUINN

    "Mighty Quinn"




    Q IS BACK

     

    Quinn the Eskimo comes back with his own blog; his first in four months or so.  http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/quinn_esq/

    And the best part of course is that no one, I MEAN NO ONE is ever going to call Q a member of some frickin clique.

    My son spent a couple days with me up here in the middle of nowhere. We walked the trails and saw the Sumac and the changing of the colors. It was delightful. He made me stay off of the internet for 48 hours, ha.

    My son had a childhood friend named Q. The Café Q has at least one PHD. We know he has several degrees and decided for some reason, after finding a reasonable woman to keep his own garden up on sandy soil somewhere with a three month growing season. Hahahahahaha. There is a history there that we will never be really privy to.

    But my son's buddy Q was something to behold. Never a degree. The kid would never get a degree from the richest suburban high school in Minnesota. The issue was always this:

    If someone said to Q:  Do not go over there.

    Well the issue to Q was always 'where is over there?' That way Q would know, HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY KNOW, that THERE is where he had to go, immediately. Hahahahah

    The Café Q, does not react to any reality that would immediately be apparent to the rest of us. I can spend six hours on a blog and positively document 103 times where Cheney lied. Q could give a shite. Hahahahaha

    WE ALREADY KNOW THAT CHENEY LIES EVERY GODDAMN TIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH; EVERY GODDAMN TIME HE EVER OPENED HIS MOUTH.  I wanna know what you are your dog did for two years alone at the cottage on the lake. Hahahahaha

    I could get 150 comments and 40 rec's, and he could give a shite. Hahahaha

    I have done a post like this before. An homage to Quinn, Esq., Only to let others read from some off handed comment from the single greatest writer that ever addressed TPM let alone our little Café.

    A few months ago I did a blog like this about Q. There is a very serious biblical scholar of course, who comes to us from time to time to demonstrate with the aid of the single book written by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, (BLESSES HIMSELF)  including a book written before He was ever born, to demonstrate beyond any reasonable doubt that all men who play with other men's pee pee's will immediately go to hell upon death.

    THIS IS A SERIOUS POINT OF CONTENTION.

    The first time I witnessed this phenomena, Quinn shows up and simply links the guy to Queen and tells Leo to sing along.

    I have never seen such comedy, such roll on the floor laughing, in written English since National Lampoon.

    You see, most people, like me anyway, will come to a blog like Leo's and start ranting about how unfair this kind of rant actually is. I would wish to rant about the ranting and attempt to point out how any good Christian or good Budhist or good Hindi could not come to this kind of conclusion. Not Q. Quinn says, hey.....here is a song we should all sing together. Hey Leo, come on, let's sing it all together..   Hahahahahaah

    So it is the middle of the night, as usual and here is Q, my hero, calling us to the chant:

     

    Hey LisB and Dickday, LEO IS BACK!! Naturally he links Queen and asks that we all sing together to one of Queen's best songs.

     

    You see the problem here is that no one immediately sees how valuable this contribution to our little blog actually is. Oh I know, Q is like sixth in all time followers here or some such. But Q does not spend fourteen hours a day here.

    I have deduced that Q is one of those who will scan a blog at 1500 words a minute and wait until 'something hits him'.  Oh he can do a 9 paragraph discourse on international law. He certainly will provide cites for his contentions.

    He does not wish to get into a contentious argument about how our government has tortured or lied or stolen our tax funds. He already assumes that. He just figures rightly, that there is no defense against what has actually taken place. And he will never get into some contentious argument about what Bachman or Palin are actually talking about. 

    But he wishes to know about a guy in his pj's who spends two years with his dog in the woods by a lake; cut off from all of civilization.

    Folks I just finished a wonderful two day vacation with my son. A wonderful week end.

    But when Seany wished to know who the most interesting 'Blogger was in my little universe I had to admit that it was Q. 

    We then discussed Seany's old friend Q. I knew Seany's friend Q and I was one of the only adults his friend trusted. That Q, at age 16, received his first Honda Motorcycle. And Q of course had three accidents attributed to him within a year. Two of his crashes involved the same Postal Van. Yes, Q hit the same Postal Van twice in one year.

    The mailman, upon the second crash, got out of the van...took one look at Q...and inquired:


    WHAT IS IT THAT YOU HAVE AGAINST ME?

     

    We have not heard from Seany's Q in three years. He left for Hawaii hoping for better days. I told Sean we must find him. We must know what has been happening. Is he in jail? Is he in a penal institution? We hope the best.

    But folks. I blog every day; usually. I took a weekend off. But if you understand how to use the dashboard software...if you understand how to follow someone....if you ever get a little depressed and you are not sure what anti-depressant will deliver you somehow into sanity; just follow the Café's Quinn.

    There have to be rules in the game of blogging.

    But we have to have people like Quinn who would not recognize a rule if it hit him over the frickin head. Hahahahaha

    SO THIS LITTLE NOTHING BLOG IS DEDICATED TO THE SINGLE GREATEST WRITER WE HAVE AT CAFÉ.

    Sometimes we need someone who refuses to go by the rules. 

    And remember, Q will never be thought of as a part of a clique EVER.
