Next entry: Creationists degrade the level of discourse once again Previous entry: Ben Shapiro And I Have A Skirt Steak Beef

An Announcement

Personal

Many of you may have noticed our move to comment registration a few months back; some of you might have thought this was an effort to keep people accountable, to hold down the number of useless trolls on the site, to form a closer-knit community.  Well, I have an announcement to make.

I am now engaged to jtsfds262, whose comments can be found in this post (also as jtsfds188, jtsfds27, jtsfds70 and others). 

If you’re a close reader, you may have noticed the oblique references to our burgeoning relationship in comments.  All those offers of prescription drugs for cheap?  A loving realization of my status as a law student and love of a cheap high.  The repeated, insistent destruction of every comment thread on this site?  All an effort to gain my attention. 

Registration was put in place so that I could gain jtsfds’ contact information, at which point I e-mailed her to let her know that she could e-mail me to let me know what she thought of me.  To tell you a bit more about my new lady love, she reads Pandagon faithfully.  She has commented on my posts literally dozens of times.  We met for the first time this past weekend, where she showed me a book a printed out posts that I’d written, with her favorite parts highlighted.

This is love.  Be happy for me.  I will find a video I made of myself talking about my views on monogamy soon enough.  For now, just congratulate me.

Registration is now required! We're still in the process of getting it all squared away, so for the moment don't forget to Login or Register using the links in the upper left menu before starting to write your comment.

There are many advantages to marrying a Viagra spammer, but they aren’t what you’d suspect.

Comment #2: Amanda Marcotte  on  04/01  at  11:55 AM

Jesse, does this mean you’ve split with the Nigerian prince?

Comment #3: FlipYrWhig  on  04/01  at  11:59 AM

Jeff, that video makes me indescribably happy.

Comment #4: Amanda Marcotte  on  04/01  at  12:00 PM

I always knew you were the type who’d be interested in viral marketers or bots.

Comment #5: The Opoponax  on  04/01  at  12:00 PM

There are many advantages to marrying a Viagra spammer, but they aren’t what you’d suspect.

For instance…neither of you will ever again fall out of bed at night.  And you will always have a place to put your keys.

Comment #6: Swedgin  on  04/01  at  12:01 PM

::sob:: and here I thought you were holding out for meeeeeeeeeeee!!!! (runs off crying)

Comment #7: Bethynyc  on  04/01  at  12:07 PM

Oh, give it a rest. Snarking about Ann Althouse’s personal life like this just gives her more ammunition. There’s plenty of grounds on which to attack the woman legitimately.

Comment #8: Bitter Scribe  on  04/01  at  12:08 PM

Bitter, Ann doesn’t need ammunition, so fuck it.

Jeff, I think my favorite part of the video is the 8 million commenter variations on this sentiment: “I love Erasure, but why is that video so gay?”  The cognitive dissonance they must be suffering seems extreme.

Comment #9: Amanda Marcotte  on  04/01  at  12:09 PM

But where are the random photos with their tacky captions?  And where is the pinky ring?

Comment #10: BadKitty  on  04/01  at  12:10 PM

Mazel tov!  You’re registered at the Royal Bank of Nigeria, yes?

Comment #11: Maureen  on  04/01  at  12:10 PM

Jesse, have the two of you had the last name discussion yet?

Comment #12: PWI  on  04/01  at  12:11 PM

I fail to see how Jesse Viagra isn’t a perfectly sensible name, and anyway, he’s changing it because his real last name was so hard for people to pronounce.

Comment #13: Amanda Marcotte  on  04/01  at  12:12 PM

OMFG!

Comment #14: Scott  on  04/01  at  12:14 PM

I would be concerned about marrying a woman who insisted so often—before we even met each other—that I needed help putting lead in my pencil, so to speak.

But it takes all kinds to make a world.

Also, with a name like “Jesse Viagra,” Jesse could drop law for WWE.

Comment #15: Hector B.  on  04/01  at  12:19 PM

“Snarking about Ann Althouse’s personal life like this just gives her more ammunition.”

...that’s an unfair accusation.  Jesse didn’t bring up Althouse…

Comment #16: MikeEss  on  04/01  at  12:19 PM

This is a wonderful great post. Super job! Perhaps we can arrange to trade links for mutual benefit www .weddingplanning.c om

Comment #17: Auguste  on  04/01  at  12:21 PM

Amanda,

I was actually looking for the music video for “love to hate you” but apparently youtube has taken down all the erasure videos. So, it was that concert footage, which turned out to be even better.  And it is kind of funny to see people go, “OMG GAY!” with erasure, pet shop boys, communards….

Comment #18: MAJeff, the God of Biscuits  on  04/01  at  12:24 PM

This is an April Fool’s joke, isn’t it?

Comment #19: Ben D.  on  04/01  at  12:26 PM

Ah, I see the commenter is a spammer.

Comment #20: Ben D.  on  04/01  at  12:27 PM

I know, Jeff.  I love how shocked they are, even those who seem okay with their sudden discovery.

Comment #21: Amanda Marcotte  on  04/01  at  12:33 PM

It is kind of surprising anyone could be surprised. Any Bell is gayer than a Falcon video.

Comment #22: MAJeff, the God of Biscuits  on  04/01  at  12:35 PM

That is excellent news!  Are you planning to have a civil ceremony or go all bridezilla with the big shindig?  Perhaps a priestess from the Church of the Mouse & DiscoBall is available - for a small donation of course!

Comment #23: CParis  on  04/01  at  12:37 PM

bddzwfknint will most certainly be jealous!

Comment #24: Ms Kate  on  04/01  at  12:41 PM

Also, with a name like “Jesse Viagra,” Jesse could drop law for WWE.

Or porn.

Viagra and spam ... a winning team!

Comment #25: Ms Kate  on  04/01  at  12:43 PM

I remember my first exposure to homophobia (yeah, I was sheltered) was in England, the first time I’d heard of Erasure (1990) and then I saw a short documentary on how well they were received in Argentina, where gays were anathema*. “But Erasure transcends that.” Maybe Erasure should be some sort of official goodwill ambassadors to otherwise small-minded people.

* So said the documentary, mind you; I’ve never been to Argentina and don’t know how fair that is.

Comment #26: Auguste  on  04/01  at  12:51 PM

Amended: I remember my first exposure to the level to which homophobia can be taken, providing a societal backdrop to the occasional and previously-seeming-harmless gay-baiting comments by schoolfriends.

Comment #27: Auguste  on  04/01  at  12:52 PM

All these Erasure comments will surely be the next stepping off point for Althouse to get offended.  Will be accused of trying to erase her marriage?  Will she suggest, yet again, that Teh Gheys R Jealous?  Are we trying to say her new beau used Viagra to compensate for his Erasure fandom?  All of the above, I say!

Comment #28: Amanda Marcotte  on  04/01  at  01:03 PM

Did you just say Ann Althouse is gay, uses Viagra, and plans to erase the future former Mr. Althouse?

Comment #29: Scott  on  04/01  at  01:11 PM

Jesse, I’msure she’ll never let you down. smile

Comment #30: Samantha Vimes  on  04/01  at  01:33 PM

Wait!  What does jtsfds262 have that I dont?!

Besides a “J” in their name…
And a “T”...  and an “S”...  and an “F”... and a “D”... and another “S”... and some number…

And ovaries…
And… and… and…

/sigh… Ok, back to listening to Portishead in dark room and sobbing uncontrolably.

best post evar!
Why can’t people just be happy for Jesse and Viagara and Nigerian Princes and LOLcats and - WHY THEY HAFTA HATE??!?!?!

Comment #34: Danica Lefse Queen  on  04/01  at  02:35 PM

Danica Lefse Queen says: Why can’t people just be happy for Jesse and Viagara and Nigerian Princes and LOLcats and - WHY THEY HAFTA HATE??!?!?!

Because that’s actually starting to look like the marriage of more than one man/woman and another man/woman and we can’t get with that.  Next it will be man on dog or woman on cat, hamsters getting with turkeys, bears with cylons…the horror!

Comment #35: CParis  on  04/01  at  02:49 PM

Don’t do it, Jesse!  Don’t do it!

Moving to Vermont just isn’t worth it.

Comment #36: Phoenician in a time of Romans  on  04/01  at  02:55 PM

This is very exciting! Pfizer can pay for your whole wedding! Go nuts!

Comment #37: Emily  on  04/01  at  03:01 PM

Just remember that I’ll be here for you when she tells you that you’re still not long or thick enough.

Comment #38: Halloween Jack  on  04/01  at  03:50 PM

Viagra and spam ... a winning team!

Worst. Sandwich. Ever.

Comment #39: Chocolate Covered Cotton  on  04/01  at  04:15 PM

“Worst. Sandwich. Ever.”

...yeah, it’ll keep you up all night…

Comment #40: MikeEss  on  04/01  at  04:33 PM

After MikeEss’s quip, I’ve got nothing.  Nothing.

Comment #41: Phoenician in a time of Romans  on  04/01  at  05:56 PM

Great, MAJeff, I just lost an hour playing Erasure on YouTube.

Good news is I introduced the 8 year old to “O L’amour” and “A little respect”.  Bad news is that I’m too out of shape to smurf to these songs like a teen anymore. 

Congrats, Jesse.  Poisson d’avril!

Comment #42: Caren-Sun-blocking Creator of Animorphic Pancakes  on  04/01  at  09:01 PM

Great, MAJeff, I just lost an hour playing Erasure on YouTube.

That’s not an hour lost. That’s an hour well spent.

Comment #43: MAJeff, the God of Biscuits  on  04/02  at  09:09 AM

Never gonna give you up—

Comment #44: Nenya  on  04/02  at  09:38 AM

Good news is I introduced the 8 year old to “O L’amour” and “A little respect”.

I KNEW IT!  That YMCA song is a gateway gay drug for preschool kids!  Next, they move up to erasure for the pre teen years and next thing you know they’re young teens hiding the Franky Goes To Hollywood videos on their hard drive!
