The missives contained in Mollygood’s comments sections run the gamut from funny to enlightening to choleric to unreadable, but rarely are they boring and even rarer (thankfully) are they peppered with “OMG she is hottttttttt!” or “z”s in the place of “s”s. Since the swift death of Mollygood, Bad and Poetic, the best of these bon mots have gone relatively unnoticed. The Commies will change all that. Each week, the very best will be highlighted here for greater public consumption and, of course, judgment.

As an aside to Dawn F - I guess you don’t really read this site often - this whole post was kind of a joke, chill.
But I am annoyed by your barrage of questions. A litany of rhetorical questions is a lazy man’s rhetocial device (that is giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you didn’t think Cord would actually answer you). And I may be projecting, but I gather that you think your points are relevant, smart and, somehow, witty? I hate to disabuse you of those notions, but I feel I must.
And so, because I am annoyed and bored, I will answer each of your questions in turn. I have been reading here for a while and I too live in NY, so I will humbly answer for Cord as best I can.
1)Ever heard of the shipping industry? My guess is that he as indeed heard of it. Or at least seen trucks, paid shipping and handling or gotten some imported delicacy from china town. I get what you are trying to do here - but it is sort of an unsophisticated point. He knows, and you know he knows, about the “shipping industry.” And he knows you know he knows. So this question is not only boring, but it is useless in a reasoned argument.
2) or do you think people who don’t live on the coast do not have access to fish? Ah, he said good sushi. He didn’t touch upon access to fish. You are incorrectly applying a particular to a general class. I bet he has bought frozen fish from Trader Joe’s. It is delicious. But then again, a fried fillet is not sushi. Which is my point vis a vis your question.
3)how do you think fish/meat/vegetables get to manhattan? Local farmers as well as purveyors from overseas and around the country. This question is sort of immaterial since he knows about the “shipping industry” - something you assumed for your “gotcha” moment in your first Q (that is where the sarcasm of it stems from). But anyways, planes trains and automobiles. Oh and sometimes ships.
4)walked over via sherpas from the farms in central park or fished from the piers? Is this supposed to be funny? Because it isn’t. Not at all. Work on your sarcasm. I mean why sherpa? How about “lil’ Jim Bob from the Sawyer homestead in Central Park” or perhaps “ferried over from Ma’s garden in New Jersey.” (Because NJ is the garden state. Layers!)
5) do you really believe there are no UNcool people in NYC and no cool people elsewhere? Short answer, no. Long answer, you are making up, out of whole cloth, an assertion that was never espoused by Cord. Hell, he thinks he is cooler than 90% of NYC, so clearly, if you have ever read this site before, he doesn’t think there are no uncool people in NYC. Conversely, he is not from the city, and thinks himself awesome, so clearly he thinks there ARE cool people out of the city. Sidenote, talking about relative “coolness” is pretty lame. Or as you would say “uncool.” Especially when the subject was never broached. So try not to be an example of a sterotype you are railing against. It weakens your point.
6) are all of your daily conversations profoundly deep and meaningful? Uh, what are you reading, because I am reading a gossip site. One that is more interesting and nuanced than others, sure, but still it is just goss. Also, I am sure this site doesn’t reflect upon the entirety of his conversations. That is a ridiculous proposition for you to insinuate. Also, it is one of those stupid “answer yes or no” questions from third grade where both answers are undesirable. Like “do your parents know you are an asshole.” Answer yes, you are an asshole, answer no, you are still an asshole. This is a pretty low level argumentitive technique.
7) is writing for a gossip site intellectually challenging and important? No. Cord has said this many times. As a matter of fact he said it **in this post.** Are you really arguing that because you don’t have an important job, that your opinions are less valid, or you are less able to pass judgment on matters of taste? I mean, if you are asserting that - your whole post is moot. Because, dear lady, I would bet that more people in NYC have more improtant and intellectually challenging jobs than you do - I will go so far as to say than most of Tuscon. So NYC gets to judge matters of taste and you/Tuscon don’t. Erego, Cord is right, and you are wrong, because he is voicing the opinion of many in NYC. I would like to state for the record that I believe that even though you do not have an intellectually challenging or important job, you can still have the opinion that other people are more vacuous and have a wrong opinion. Especially when they love Julia Roberts.
8)lastly- do you believe you’ll never be a septuagenarian? Um, I think you have issues. Because Cord never said anything like that. He doesn’t hate septagenarians, he just likes using big words. Further, belief in ageing does not correlate to not thinking that these old biddies had no taste. I believe in ageing and I believe that they are wrong. I also believe that not all elderly share their opinion. Thus, disagreeing with these particular seppies does not equate to distaste (in general, but I don’t have time to explain that disagreeing with an opinion doesn’t automatically equate to dislike of the opinion holder) for them all. Nor does it mean that one does not believe in ageing.
9) and when you do get old, do you think you’ll retain your *cool and smug superiority* and such will be recognized by the young and hip? Yes. Cord is kind of a dick, so he will always be smug and superior. Coolness, on the other hand, is subjective, and Cord is aware of this. Conversely, good taste is timeless, and so he will never be the one lauding Julia Roberts with his friends. You see that is a fault in taste, not a lack of knowledge of current trends. So he will likely retain a *tasteful and smug superiority*.
In closing, it is not what you said, but that you did it so poorly. You pretty much did a disservice to your cause. Which I gather is “Save the Tuscon Septegenaians from Cool and Smug Superiority”?



It was worth the wait.
Congrats to all the “winners.”
I’m just impressed that Shit#1 got a shit name on the list, even though I can’t make it through the post itself.
The predictiosn are awesome, most notably Efron’s. *clap*
Damn, nospam has the system down pat. He really snuck in there at the end.
Also, kids, it may sound strange, but it’s true. Drink the Coke, pregnancy is no joke (flash peace sign).
And now I can go back to Kitchy. Until the next Denise15 invasion.
oh yes… and thank you Cord. (Musn’t forget manners even as a hag.)
At least Cord agrees that nospam is an idiot.
I knew it. That ahole comes on just under deadline and steals our thunder. All that hard work for nothing. I’m going to have to sacrifice another bucket of chicken Saturday.
Yes, thank you Cord, and thank you BaldNomad, for giving me lots to look forward to this year!
you all better watch your asses our your 11 year old boss will fire you.
Lovin the title on nospams commie!
“commies” for “recent comments”
that sucks.
Does diet Coke work?
Diet Coke only works if you had sex with a really skinny guy.
Dr. Pepper only works if you’ve fornicated with someone well-educated, and 7-Up… well, let’s just say you’ve been busy.
How do we know Pepper is a real doctor and not just made up like, Dr. Phil?
playla - I must say I was a little shocked myself, but welcoming nonetheless.
7-up gets Efron’s period stains off his white pants.
What will help with his bloat and crankiness. YOu know her fingers just swell up.
Everytime I see the words rootinest and tootinest,I nearly wet myself.
Wow, I can’t believe my diatribe won. I am sort of sorry about that Hags - brevity being the soul of wit and all.
It’s quite all right. It deserves a win, and not just for the “Shit” portion.
At least I think it deserves a win. Given that I’ve only read bits and pieces, you know.
Yeah, the shit part was pretty bitchin’.
I wouldn’t read the whole thing -it is pretty damn condescending and pompous. Which is how I get when I get annoyed and try to be smart instead of killing people in the face.
Sweetness. Thanks, Cord.
(Lisa#1- splendid!)
PS
Could me stop with the Cord is so “full of himself” nonsense? He could have changed the site’s name to include his own, but he chose to keep Mollygood instead. He also did not use pictures of himself in any of the banners. It would not me self-obssesed to do so, but it is especiallly… *especially* modest not to.
And, yeah, he is confident in his morals, but he is willing to compromise. Why do people think that is “bitchy”? Seriously, is Peter Singer a “bitch”?
“Could me stop with the Cord is so “full of himself” nonsense?”
No.
Il just wants a commie for best kiss-ass.
You can’t critisize him for injecting his opinions into his posts. You could for not giving other perspectives a chance. But he does.
cooter49- Shit! BUSTED.
He allows comments, but I don’t know that I’d consider that really “giving other perspectives a chance.”
He mocks as much as he’s mocked. And besides, the fun in pushing his buttons is unequaled in any other sport.
Ridiculous Backlash and Inapt Comparisons to Kanye
I thought the comparisons were somewhat applicable. Then again, what do we know, us non-know folk. And to Kyle’s question: yes, it might have been the same as some feminists have chosen to reclaim the word.
blah, does Coke Zero only work if you’ve had sex with a loser?
I agree with most things he says so the injection of his opinion doesn’t bother me.
I’m gonna steal that Best Kiss Ass Commie away from Il, dammit! Oh, and Cord is also handsome and hmmm…urbane…
Beat that!
Does anyone else here read this blog every day, but say they aren’t into celebrity gossip when asked? What the fuck is up with me?
Sorry LTP, but Coke Zero is applicable only to those men who look hot and talk a good game, but later you find out are unemployed and living with thier parents.
I thought coke zero was for when you sleep with a guy who can’t find the g spot and there is no o for you.
Oh no, I fully admit that celebrity gossip is my life.
