Quickies: Pro or Con? - The Gormogons

‘Puter’s going to try to be more succinct. Hence, the “quickies” post title.

Quickie One. Can we reserve our strong criticism for when President Elect Obama starts doing really stupid stuff, rather than run of the mill stupid stuff? P.E. Obama is getting skewered for an off-hand foolish remark about Nancy Reagan in his first press conference. Thoughtless? Yes. Rise to the level of the Employee Free Choice Act? No. Keep your yap shut lest we be thought the boy who cried wolf.

Quickie Two. In this post below, OEV left out the most important quote, one by which ‘Puter has modeled his life. “What I’m saying is: we, as a nation, need to drink more martinis.” Of slightly less importance is this quote: “What was their secret? Gin. On any given Saturday night they consumed enough martinis to fuel an assault helicopter.” And now ‘Puter has plans for Saturday night.

Quickie Three. By way of clarification of OEV’s post here, Vic Matus does not equal Vic Tayback.

'Puter

Always right, unless he isn’t, the infallible Ghettoputer F. X. Gormogons claims to be an in-law of the Volgi, although no one really believes this.

’Puter carefully follows economic and financial trends, legal affairs, and serves as the Gormogons’ financial and legal advisor. He successfully defended us against a lawsuit from a liquor distributor worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid deliveries of bootleg shandies.

The Geep has an IQ so high it is untestable and attempts to measure it have resulted in dangerously unstable results as well as injuries to researchers. Coincidentally, he publishes intelligence tests as a side gig.

His sarcasm is so highly developed it borders on the psychic, and he is often able to insult a person even before meeting them. ’Puter enjoys hunting small game with 000 slugs and punt guns, correcting homilies in real time at Mass, and undermining unions. ’Puter likes to wear a hockey mask and carry an axe into public campgrounds, where he bursts into people’s tents and screams. As you might expect, he has been shot several times but remains completely undeterred.

He assures us that his obsessive fawning over news stories involving women teachers sleeping with young students is not Freudian in any way, although he admits something similar once happened to him. Uniquely, ’Puter is unable to speak, read, or write Russian, but he is able to sing it fluently.

Geep joined the order in the mid-1980s. He arrived at the Castle door with dozens of steamer trunks and an inarticulate hissing creature of astonishingly low intelligence he calls “Sleestak.” Ghettoputer appears to make his wishes known to Sleestak, although no one is sure whether this is the result of complex sign language, expert body posture reading, or simply beating Sleestak with a rubber mallet.

‘Puter suggests the Czar suck it.
