Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Eggs, Bacon, Sausage and Spam

Don't you just love e-mail spammers? I think they rank on the evolutionary scale somewhere between dung beetles and algae, personally. I got this e-mail awhile back, which I've been meaning to share with you, because, well... it cracked me up.

You see, when I started posting on blogs I set up a dummy e-mail account with Yahoo under the name "dumpthedonks," which, of course, fit right in with my "Mr. Right" persona. Any mail it receives is either related to blogging, or its spam. So anything telling me about problems with my e-bay or WAMU or Pay-Pal accounts --- fugeddaboutit!

I tend to just flush the bulk mail without even looking at it anymore (who has time to wade through hundreds of these things a day?), but every so often, something gets through the filters, as is the case with this little gem. Who knows, maybe its from a reader? Better look at it. Hilarity ensues. Note the marvelous grammar, spelling and punctuation. I even cleaned up some spacing problems to make it easier to read. (Emphasis is mine)...

Dear Dump Thedonks,

I am Barrister Colvin Winkei, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Engr J. B. Thedonks, a national Of your country, who used to work as a contractor in Lome Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 30th of April 2004, my client, were involved in a car accident along Kpalime express Road.

All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to search through with his name which motivated me to contact you, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$20.5 million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm (bank) where this huge amount were deposited.

The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.

Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction goes through and for more details.

KINDLY GIVE ME A SHORT CALL AFTER GOING THROUGH THIS MAIL. TELEPHONE NUMBER.

So why did I bring this up?

THIS IS WHY!!!

The Best of the Long Lost Right Place Bloggers...

Okay, since I'm handing out links today (gee whiz, I feel like InstaPundit), I must give you all a fix of our favorite Right Place bloggers in abstentia.

First, be certain to check out T.M. Ergin's take on the whole angry left phenomenon:

I Blame Gore

Next, drop by the lovely and talented Anna, who reproduces a very thought-provoking op-ed from a GWOT veteran:

Vets for Freedom

As for Stephen, well, hopefully he'll drop by sometime soon and post something. Until then, this will just have to suffice.

Paranoia the Destroyer

I must admit, I often read DUmmie FUnnies, a weblog committed to spotlighting the kookiest of the many rabidly paranoid threads at the Democratic Underground (DU). My explorations into the paranoid leftist mindset have resulted in many fine satire posts over the past year (at least, I hope you enjoyed them). The problem is, the reality of their debauchery now trumps any attempts at parody!

DUFU has been in all its glory for the last several weeks after the whole TruthOut "scoop" that Karl Rove had been indicted by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald on May 12 turned out to be absolute caca and caused a DUmmie meltdown of Chernobyl-like proportions. Then came the news about the non-existent Hastert investigation, and the phony Special Forces member admitting to war crimes hoax.

However, nothing tops this post for pure, unadulterated paranoid lunacy on full display. (HINT: The kookiest stuff is in the second half of the thread, keep reading!) Want to know why we need to make certain the Democrats NEVER regain power in this country? It is to keep people like those on this thread from having any influence over U.S. government policy! Here is a shining example of the Democrats' kook base in all their naked glory! A must read that will open your eyes to just how absolutely, certifiably NUTS the far-left-wing really and truly is!

Besides, it is damned funny, too! Enjoy!

Brainster Offers Up Some John Kerry "Fan Fiction"

Since Sen. Kerry's "Magic Hat" is once again topical, Pat has dusted off this gem from his old Kerry Haters days, and it is a true classic! Enjoy!

UPDATE 6/1
One of Pat's fellow Kerry Haters, Kitty Myers, has unearthed her own Kerry fiction piece of times gone by.

Lucky Dawg News Launches Photo Caption Contest

Chris from Lucky Dawg News, who has been a key part of our weekly photo caption contests here at The Right Place from almost the beginning, has decided to launch a his contest of his own.

The new contest will feature NASCAR related photos, and Chris is offering a prize for first place in his inaugural outing!

Good luck with the contest, Chris, and best of luck to all who enter!

Wictory Wednesday - May 31, 2006

This is it --- the return of Wictory Wednesday!

Thank you, John Bambenek...

Wictory Wednesday: Mike McGavick for United States Senate for the State of Washington

Mike McGavick has been running an insurgent campaign against incumbent Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell. Bucking the trend against the GOP nationally, Mike has closed the gap between his Democratic competitor to within 5 percentage points in the last Rasmussen Reports poll. Last November, he was trailing by 15 percentage points.

Mike is a solid conservative who understands the necessity of fighting the war on terror and on regulating the flow of immigration at the border. There is a difference between welcoming immigrants in an orderly way and having a wide-open border that is open to exploitation by those who wish to harm the American way of life.

On health care, Mike realizes that the problem with health care is not that it is run by insurance companies, but that there are too many middlemen that leave the consumer out of the loop. Insurance companies are paid by companies who provide benefits to their employees. Those companies want to keep costs low so they pick one vendor and offer two plans to their employees: lower premium lower benefit plans with vendor A, or higher benefit higher benefit plans with vendor A. The needs of the consumer are only indirectly represented to the insurance company... if at all. The hospitals and doctors are paid by the insurance companies. Hospitals collect less than 30% of bills that are sent to consumers without insurance (or after their insurance has paid only part). Hospitals will therefore cater to the insurance companies that pay the bills. The solution is to put the consumer in the driver seat when dealing with their healthcare, not remove them even farther by having the government run the show.

Lastly, in an uncharacteristic position lately for a Republican, he's for fiscal conservativism. He knows that tax dollars isn't monopoly money, but money to which he is a steward, not an owner. We can count on him to support common-sense reforms to the tax-and-spend habits that have plagued Congress lately.

Please consider taking a look at Mick McGavick's website and supporting his campaign.

This was a production of the Wictory Wednesday blogburst, a weekly posting by bloggers supporting solid Republican candidates for office (national office or governorship. If you are interesting in joining the Wictory Wednesday blogburst, please take a look at this post or e-mail John Bambenek at jcb (dot) blog (at) gmail (dot) com.

Do you blog? Instead of just expressing anger and dismay at what is going on in Washington, D.C., please join us in working to increase Republican majorities, elect more conservatives and defeat liberals everywhere. It is the only way we will ever win!

Remember: Refusing to support Republicans won't hurt the RINO factions, it will only help Democrats and their far-left liberal kook base seize power! Thank you.

Let Us Be Forever Grateful... and Forever Vigilant

Wherever you may be this Memorial Day, please take some time to remember what this holiday is all about...

Source

Source

Source

From Wikipedia:

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May.... It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who died in military service for their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action.

(Emphasis mine.)

May God bless all of those who have served, particularly those who gave their lives so that we may be free and may he bless and comfort all of the loved ones they left behind to grieve. And may God forever bless the United States of America.

The Return of Wictory Wednesdays!

John C.A. Bambenek of Part-Time Pundit has resurrected Wictory Wednesdays:

Wictory Wednesday has returned! It is a once-a-week event where hundreds of bloggers ask their readers to support a Republican candidate by donating to their campaign (or at least blogging about them). After over a year break, I've taken the initiative to set it back up and put it together again. 2006 is a big election year and now is the time to assert the influence of the grass roots (or the "connected" will assert it for us).

Each Wednesday, I will send out the "default" candidate to support for that week. Since we aren't Democrats or liberals, you are free to change the candidate and support someone else of your own choice. We like free-thinkers here. All we ask is that you support some candidate on Wednesday and help advance the ideas we hold dear.

Details on how you, too, can join the effort are available by clicking on the above link.

Republican control of our government is much too important to take any chance of losing. The consequences could very well be catastrophic!

I have embraced the opportunity to help. I hope many more of you will also.

Captions Outrageous! [In Over Her Head Edition]

The above photo comes to us from AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta via Yahoo! (Broken link.)

This contest features House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Aging Hippie Nutjob-San Francisco) and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (Senile Socialist Relic-NV) and will last until approximately 1 week from Monday. Feel free to ignore the highly irrelevant Rep. James Clyburn (Jackass-SC). Nobody outside of his District knows or cares who he is anyway!

Good luck!

Hang in There, Baby!

Jeanette and all the other wonderful gals at Oh How I Love Jesus have teamed up with Kimsch (yet another wonderful gal) from Musing Minds to form a new blog...

Hang Right Politics

This new blog is dedicated to keeping Conservatives motivated for the upcoming elections, so that we don't allow the left-wing kooks to gain control of any portion of Congress, which could only serve to damage our cause and our country! Judging from some of the debates I've seen and engaged in myself between and among supposed Conservatives lately, we need all the help we can get holding this thing together! Thank you, ladies.

And to anyone reading this, remember. Not voting for Republicans only means helping Democrats. Not only does that not further the Conservative cause, it does terrible harm to it!

Don't believe me? Try stomaching some of these ideas: Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid, Chairman Conyers, Chairman Rangell, Chairman Kennedy, Chairwoman Clinton... have you thrown up yet? Okay, I'll stop... but only if you promise to vote Republican!

So, I said to myself, what is the point of ranking things after 10th place since it is very time consuming and yet, has no effect at all on the point standings?

From now on, in some semblance of alphabetical order by contributor, everything not in the top ten, will get...

HONORABLE MENTION:

-- "Now, let's see... yup, that should still fit in my mouth!"

Anna


-- "I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting with a booty!"

Chris


-- "Actually, I think Teresa's looking for something a little more, y'know, spikey."

D. Carter


-- "Sir, if you don't stop lecturing my footwear, I'm afraid I will have to ask you to leave the store."

-- "I recall wearing boots just like these when I was raping the countryside, in a fashion reminiscent of Jen-jis Khan, in Viet Nam."

Damian G..


-- "Sir? Sir... it goes on your foot."

-- "I refuse to collect money at stoplight intersections with anything but the finest Italian leather."

Hoodlumman


-- "That's one of the boots I wore when I ran in the Boston Marathon... what year was that again?"

John Ruberry


-- "Do you have a pair in 'camo'?"

-- "Are you sure these are goose-hunting boots?"

Maggie


-- KERRY: "You know, I had a pair just like this in Viet..."
MAN: "Save it, we've heard it all before."

the man


-- "Really? How many boots do I have to lick for second on the ticket?"

MorningSun


-- "I don't know you well enough for a 'booty call'."

-- "Not my boot. No jungle rot."

radio free fred


-- "Oh, look. The instructions, TGIF (Toes Go In First), are written on the top. Who woulda thought?"

RFA


-- "There seems to be a stain on it. You said Bill Clinton tried this on?"

-- "I'm looking for something a little more nuanced."

-- {sniff} "Reminds me of my Christmas in Cambootia."

-- "We call 'em the Form 180. Once it has your foot, it never releases."

Rodney Dill


-- "Back in the days when I was fighting forest fires in Vietnam, I wore a boot similar to this... In fact, this is the boot given to me by a CIA Firefighter near a forest fire in Cambodia."

-- "No, Sen. Kerry, that was not the inspiration for the film Das Boot."

-- Sen Kerry after he was introduced to the ancient art of Ti Kwan Leep (Boot to the Head).

-- "Tell me again, George. Where exactly did Hillary say she was going to shove this if I ran in '08?"

sgtfluffy


-- "These coordinate divinely with my magic hat! Which I got in Vietnam, where I served."

spacemonkey


-- "Har, har. Very funny. Now give me one that's not full of ketchup."

-- "You could have told me what was on the bottom of the boot before I put my hand on it."

-- "Hmmmm... strangely familiar. You say the voters gave me one of these before?"

-- John Kerry approves some of the costume design for his new Broadway play, Christmas in Cambodia.

Steve O


-- "There you go, Senator. You had the winning bid. But why anyone would pay $135,000 for Richard Gere's gravity boots from American Gigolo, I don't understand."

-- "Then this little orange cat with a Spanish accent looked at me with these big sad eyes, but I blew him away anyway. That's how I got my bronze star."

-- "You say this is all that's left of the sonuvab*tch Secret Service guy who made me fall down on the ski slope? Well done."

V the K


-- "And I would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for those meddlesome Swift Boat Kids!"

-- Sen. Kerry was a might uncertain on the concept of "Bootylicious".

Steve O


#9: John Kerry proved to be so dumb, that he didn't know how to empty a boot full of water with the instructions printed on the heel.

D. Carter

Steve O


#7: "Say, can you show me this in a stiletto heel?"

Dave E.


#6: It finally dawns on John Kerry how he got athlete's mouth.

D. Carter

Lorie Byrd Joins Wizbang!

As many of you know by now, PoliPundit kicked all four of his "guest bloggers" (Lorie Byrd; DJ Drummond; Alexander K. McClure; and Jayson Javitz) off his site in a rather angry disagreement with all of them over his increasingly bellicose attacks on President Bush regarding the illegal immigration issue.

As a result, I lost most of the reason I had for regularly reading that blog, which is a shame. PoliPundit was the very first blog I ever frequented, the first one I ever commented at, and the blog I credit with getting me into blogging in the first place. The things that made it great were the diverse opinions and styles of the various talented writers, as well as some of the very insightful commenters who could be frequently found debating within the threads.

Late last year, things began to change for the worse over there. Many of the regular commenters I used to so enjoy reading and visiting with on open threads (which had mysteriously ceased) began to disappear. The tone of the blog became decidedly angrier and more negative and the threads less and less civil. Then, last week, came the messy break up.

The unquestionable star of the PoliPundit blog was never PoliPundit him or herself, it was Lorie Byrd. In the aftermath, Lorie renamed her personal blog from Byrd Droppings to Lorie Byrd.com and also switched over to a custom URL (though the old one still works). She had been blogging there on her own ever since, but now has also joined the gang over at Wizbang, where I believe she will fit in very well. Her first post over there is RIGHT HERE.

Meanwhile, DJ Drummond can be found at his own site, Stolen Thunder, where he recently posted an update on everybody else from PoliPundit.

I had already heard that Alexander had agreed to join RedState, but I have yet to spot a post from him there.

Jayson, it seems, is opting out of the blogging game for the time being. I hope he, too, will return someday soon.

I wish them all the very best. Be sure to drop by their new homes and wish them well, especially Lorie, to whom I, and a great many other small bloggers, owe so very much!

Also, be certain to visit some of the wonderful friends I made there over the years at the wonderful blogs Oh How I Love Jesus and Musing Minds.

Captions Outrageous! [Frozen Assets Edition]

PREVIOUS CONTEST RESULTS TO BE POSTED TOMORROW.

Here is the scoop: I must humbly apolgize to everyone for being so late with this week's festivities. You may read my lame excuse HERE. This week's contest will begin now and run through early next week (likely Tuesday, as I am now scheduled to work the upcoming Saturday, Sunday and Monday --- nice holiday weekend for me, eh?).

From now on, with the changes that seem to be coming to my schedule for the foreseeable future, I will try to post a new contest every Friday, which will run for 10 days with the results posted a week from the following Monday (or early Tuesday). This will bring about two contests overlapping each other every weekend. It is either that, or run a contest that is just for the weekend rather than a week, as it has always been. I will try the long way for now and see how people like it. Feel free to let me know if you would like it to run 10 days or if you would prefer me to switch to 3 day contests, as many other blogs now run.

And now, on with the show...



The above photo comes to us from AP Photo/Lauren Victoria Burke via Yahoo!

Ah, yes, the poster child for the Democrat Party's campaign slogan about that "Republican Culture of Corruption" himself, Rep. William "I don't know how all that FBI bribe money wound up in my freezer" Jefferson (Crooked Jackass-LA) is just too easy a target to pass up! Have at him, kids! Just remember to leave enough for the federal prosecutors to sweep up.

Gee, I wonder if he'll ask the National Guard to help him move all of his stuff to the federal pen...

This contest will last approximately one week.

Good luck!

Sorry State of the Blog

NEW CAPTION CONTEST TO BE POSTED TONIGHT, RESULTS OF LAST CONTEST COMING TOMORROW!

First, I must humbly apologize to everyone for the lack of attention this blog has been receiving lately. The one thing I have been trying hard to maintain, despite a lack of time, has been the weekly photo caption contest. This week, I failed miserably.

Not to bore anyone with the details, but my wife and I had decided we would host a "landmark" birthday party for my Father this year. His 75th birthday is this Wednesday, the party was on Sunday. As we tried to whip the place into shape, dealing with chores we normally let go for weeks or months at a time (then rush to do to put forth our best appearance for company), it became obvious the closer we got that we were running hopelessly behind. I was last online on Friday afternoon when I took a break after doing some yardwork. I figured I would at least have a chance late Friday or Saturday to put the new contest up and let everyone know the judging of the old contest would be late... but then, the real complications began to kick in: an overflowing bathroom sink and resulting flood late Friday night; a wife who was sick and unable to get much done while I was away at work on Saturday; fruit punch getting dumped all over the light colored family room carpet at 1am Sunday as we worked hard to catch up; ...you get the drift. Blogging became impossible.

I was able to get on earlier today, for a blink of the eye, to check my e-mail, but then had other obligations to fulfill until a short time ago. I just now sat down and got reacquainted with my computer!

I will be trying harder to get some posts that are not photo caption related up occasionally in the near future, though I cannot blog full time unless someone would like to pay me a living wage to do it! And yes, I would dearly love to get back in the humor post game, but in addition to time shortages, my muse hasn't been singing lately. Hopefully, some new inspiration will strike soon. I'd much rather wait until I have something good, instead of just posting something mediocre for the hell of it.

Anyway, that is the scoop with me. As for my co-bloggers, I have received an e-mail from Anna apologizing for her lack of posts, but it is completely understandable. She, too, has been very busy, and has her own blog, A Rose By Any Other Name, to worry about as well.

T.M. is still going strong at Joust the Facts and, until recently, was still posting a couple times a month here, but hey, when the site owner isn't pulling his weight, he certainly can't expect others to make up for it, especially when they have their own sites to maintain.

As for Stephen, I must try to touch base with him again. I have spotted his comments in different places we both frequented earlier this week after the PoliPundit break-up fiasco, but he hasn't been heard from here in quite some time. I miss him.

In any case, I don't blame any of them for not posting when I myself have had so little time to keep up with things here. I can only hope the situation will improve in the coming months, so we are back up to speed in time for the next election cycle.

God knows, any Democrat advances are, as far as I am concerned, an absoulte tragedy for America, as I now see them only as a party of anger, name-calling, naysaying, gloom, doom, despair, pass the buck, blame America first, pander to foreign interests, incite the kook base and even, at times, out and out treason... all in the name of Bush hatred and an attempt to win back power at any price. It can not be allowed to happen, and I intend to be here, even in a limited capacity, to help fight it!

The War on Terror begins at home. Before we can win it over there, we must win it here first. Our enemies here have made themselves known, and they must never be allowed to win!!!

Sorry, that's the kind of pent up ranting one has building inside of them when they don't vent enough, but I meant every last word of it... and I'm not taking it back!

Now... back to the entertainment. The new contest will be ready shortly.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

From everyone at The Right Place.

Son of the Godfather


#35: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi fires a "heavy machine gun." However, he indicated later that problems he had handling the weapon were due to his taking Ambien, and some other drug to treat his anus. CNN staffers drove him home before newsmen on the scene could do field sanity tests.

walrus


#15: "Yippee! The five day waiting period is over! Praise Allah!... Now, how do I work this thing?"

walrus


#14: While Zarqawi bragged to his pals about his "huge gun", the dreaded "Black Ninja of Death" silently crept in for the kill.

Buckley F. Williams


#13: "Oops... Sorry! Okay, for anyone who has not been shot, the party is still on. We meet at an-Uslube's at seven."

Steve O


#12: "I don't know but it's been said;
If you want virgin p***y, you gotta be dead!;

walrus

Rodney Dill


BONUS! Presenting the best of "DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi":

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
George Bush is probably more intelligent than we thought, it took the Iranian scientists 5 year to discover that nucular an nuclear were the same type of weapon.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
I have a cousin, Whertha Fuqawi. Whenever he did something wrong, his mother would say his name and he'd answer, "We're right here." This was probably not a good thing.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
My cousin Whertha is so horny, even his horses are dromedaries (humped animals).

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
Lets see, one sexually inexperienced martyr to 72 inexperienced, sexually frustrated virgins... being one of the virgins is probably not a good thing.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
They say bin-Laden has a sister that looks like a goat. All-in-all, America should reconsider the whole burqa thing.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
Its always pull pin and throw grenade, not the other way.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
When juggling knives you can catch the wrong end... once.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
"Allahu Akbar" is good, but Allahu Cashbar is better. Allahu Openbar is the best.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
The desert is a lot like the beach, except, no water.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
The Oil for Food ploy was just one big American plot. I tried some on my Swarma once, and it tasted just like crap.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
Hokey Religions and ancient weapons are no match for a fervent belief in Islam and an AK-47... er, let me rethink that.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
You may wonder why anyone would need 72 Virgins, well, my friends, sand does not make a great aphrodisiac.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
I tried condoms once, but I couldn't breath once it was fitted snuggly over the head, American are such idiots when it comes to writing directions.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
If you are not the lead Camel, the view is always the same. Of course, if you are the lead camel in a cave or spider-hole, the view is always the same as well.

DEEP THOUGHTS - by Al-Zarqawi
You go to war with the terrorists you have, not the terrorists you may want or wish to have at a later time.

And you can blame Rodney Dill for the entire lot (for which I will award him 5 points)!


BONUS!

Chris has sent along a link to his own Zarqawi blooper reel!


Bravo! Bravo!

Something You Really Ought to Be Reading...

Our good friend Pat Curley of Brainster's Blog has teamed up with James B. of The Chief Brief on an excellent new blog that completely debunks, piece by piece by piece, the insane conspiracy theories about 9/11 portrayed as realistic in the left-wing lunatic asylum "documentary" film Loose Change.


Be certain to add the appropriately titled Screw Loose Change to your blogroll! It is a motherlode of common sense debunking of the favorite fevered hallucinations of the Moonbat brigades!

Captions Outrageous! [I Shot the Sharif Edition]

This week is what we in the humor end of the blogging business commonly refer to as a "target rich environment": The Day Without a Taco Bell; Mr. Moussaoui goes to jail; Patwreck Kennedy... I mean, just who do you pick out to pick on? As good as all of these schmucks might be for some yucks, I think it is this particular sack of camel caca who takes the brass ring this trip around the ol' carousel...



The above photo comes to us from REUTERS/Department of Defense/Handout via Yahoo!

Here's a hint, Abu. Next time it jams, stick the barrel in your mouth and suck on it for awhile as you repeatedly pull the trigger! Oh, and make sure the safety catch is off, just in case. (As Carlos Mencia might say, "Dee-da-dee!")

Say, maybe he could take some lessons from our old friend, V the K...



This contest will last approximately one week.

Good luck!
