    God damn it, Radley Balko, you just became even cooler. Love it.

    Wait, that’s not what you wear to Reason editorial board meetings? I bet Gillespie hides under the table if you do.

    This is the image that haunts Steven Hayne’s nightmares.

    How did you post this with boxing gloves on?

    I’ll probably be the only one and I’ll probably get a negative rating, but this actually takes Radley down a notch in my book.

    Maybe I’m outing myself as an uncool geezer, but I’m sure I’m not the only reader who’s wondering this…

    What is it?

    It’s Strong Bad of Homestar Runner, one the the least funny schticks in the history of the internet.

    Robert S. Porter –

    So do you feel better about yourself now that you’ve made two needlessly nasty comments about a post that was meant to be in fun, had no real-world value whatsoever?

    Seriously, man. You took the time to make two bitchy comments about a Halloween costume.

    hey Robert, you just pulled the Double Deuce!

    Actually… Porter is kinda right… Homestar Runner jumped the shark a long time ago.

    Nonetheless, you should’ve foregone the muscle-shirt and just used the Ab-Abber…

    Wow, Radley, there’s no reason to be touchy. Jesús Christ. Nothing like making a guy regret his donation to you.

    A) The first comment is hardly “bitchy”. It was was in good fun, delibertately reflecting Lucy’s “you just became even cooler” comment.

    B) The second comment was factual with my opinion added. I’m sorry that we disagree on what constitutes humor. If I’d know the comment section was merely a place to agree and not offer opinion then I wouldn’t have bothered.

    That’s funny; Strong Bad went to a Radley-themed party a few years ago.

    Homestar “jumped the shark”/”nuked the fridge”? Heresy. Homestar and his buddies are shark-proof.

    Did he say you couldn’t say that stuff? Or was he also exercising HIS free speech by criticizing your comments. Nowhere does he say to stop posting. He only suggests that you lighten up in a slightly negative way, just like you suggested negatively that Homestar Runner isn’t quality entertainment. You could have just said “meh”, but you went negative, so he brought the same to you.

    Chill-axe.

    “Radley Balko columns go down smooth and clean, like gasoline.”

    No actually, Radley threw around faulty accusations of being “nasty” and “bitchy”. If I had said “Radley is such a fucking loser for likeing Homestar Runner”, then you’d have a point. But that didn’t happen. Instead he got offended and lashed out when someone didn’t agree with him. And since Radley only comments occasionally it clearly shows this struck a chord with him. Who (other than me) knew that Homestar Runner brings out the worst in people.

    Radley made it personal, I didn’t.
