"Dr" Allen is intimately familiar with medicine & doctors. Met her and the rest of the MLM team @ a rally for Boresha International. She has been under the knife so many times, her face is practically immobile + she is apparently a great believer in collagen enhancements.

Richard Dawkins is a moron!

By Alice Ragsdale on 12-Aug-2012 @09:54 am in Church Hires Wolf As Preacher:

This "man" while he was incarcerated in the Statesville, in Joilet, Il was visited by out preacher Peter Bumpass, from the South Holland, IL Church of Christ. He had "found God" and when released married a lady in our church, he preached while our preacher was out of town, he was allowed to be a teen guidance person he then took up with an Elders daughter and ran off with her. He had one time tried to have sex with me, I was only 13 years old.
The South Holland Congergation NEVER asked what Bill had done, to land him in prison the Congergtion felt that if the Preacher was OK with Bill then he was an OK person, and paid for his sins he commented to land him in prison. There was also another man who was in prison, who the preacher went to visit in prison, the same prison that Bill had been in, he also was released and came to our church and Preached and had a lot to do with the youth, he after 5 years being released, molested a boy who went to the chuch, he also had married a lady
By Kim on 06-Aug-2012 @11:35 am in Quadruplets Ready To Fight:

Just found this blog from over a year ago. Very disappointed how people here could judge me let alone my children for the decision they made themselves. Did I want them to join the army ? No, but I will stand by them 100% on any decision they make. Yes I am very proud of them for serving our country. As far the low cuts about me getting a new hair do and bigger tattoo...really ? How childish is that?

By Benson Grayson on 04-Aug-2012 @05:47 am in Political Fiction?:

For a good political novel involving the CIA Director blackmailing the US President to resign, check out "Lust Takes The White House." The protagonist, Cosmetics company tycoon Melvin Shultz, manipulates the U.S. Presidential primary process by false advertising bribery and blackmail to put into the White House Robert "Buck" Porter, an inept, woman-chasing ex-Governor of Oklahoma. Unexpectedly asked by Porter to become CIA Director, Shultz attempts to reform the Agency. He quickly realizes that the Porter Administration is so bad it represents a threat to the future of the U.S. Feeling responsible, Shultz must now decide whether to risk disgrace and possible imprisonment by using the same tactis he used to put Porter into office to force him to leave the White House.

I love to read such things related with scrabble. I like making Words Scrabble.

Nice to learn with that.

By pixi on 22-Jul-2012 @05:07 am in Best Circus Novel?:

Many of the titles listed are about carnival not circus - doesn't anybody out there know the difference? Spangles had a lot of good research but still took the shock horror route. The great circus novel still awaits publication.

I really want those scumbags at Amazon to suffer for this fraud. What the hell is wrong with then that they can't solve this simple problem? Oh, maybe they don't want to, because they make more money selling crap. Assholes.
By Naruto Fightin Dreamer on 10-Jul-2012 @01:07 am in Weekend Open Mic 20110422:

That picture of Brenner Pass is nice. But, I'd like to see a picture of the "Old Road" that existed before the Modern Freeway or AutoBohn. As such road plays heavily into the "Rat Line". The Evil Father Dragonovich' & Bishop Hudals Manner of helping Nazi War Criminals to escape Europe!

I need to add that it was a pleasure to meet you too Bis.

I'll be in touch Curtis. I need to make a re-entrance to the hut for sure. I've some questions for Andie if she's still around.

I've just seen the posts on the the G+ thing. I'll poke around and see if I can't totally confuse myself until breakfast!

By Tony Hitchens on 14-Oct-2011 @09:33 pm in Final Open Mic:

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all
And I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

I'm sticking with what I said, as back in the day, even the sucky humorists and satirists didn't use emoticons.
By gdm IV on 14-Oct-2011 @08:56 pm in Final Open Mic:

Awesome Rance! Glad you made it tonight -- always enjoyed your great photos. Good luck with your move, and check out the recent couple of posts that J-Walk has done explaining how to use g+. It really is quite easy, especially if you start by simply reading his & Curtis's g+ pages.1
By Rance on 14-Oct-2011 @08:51 pm in Final Open Mic:

I made it Curtis!

Sorry I've been such a stranger this past year. So much going on it seems I'm more married to my work than my wife anymore. But I'm still around. I'm clueless about the G+ thing. But if someone can give me some direction I'll take the time to delve into it. Thanks for the few years of good humor J-Walk. I am fortunate enough to have met you and Pam, along with Mr and Mrs Toad, and I'll never forget you Curtis!
The wife and I may be moving to New York in the next few months. She may be attending a university on Long Island and since I'm working over here...it just makes sense. We'll keep the house in Alaska for periodic visits home.

One last picture for you guys. From last week out at the cabin.

John,

My productivity was reduced for slightly more than 3,200 days.

Thanks, Keith

John,
I've been reading your blog faithfully since I first discovered it in '03 and want to add my voice to the chorus of folks who have already weighed in with their kudos and thanks. You've brightened an awful lot of mornings for me and I appreciate all you've done.

All the best,
Mark Johnston
By Doug on 14-Oct-2011 @08:19 pm in Final Open Mic:

Good night, thank you, and may your god go with you.

Oh, we were all just praying for J-Walk's soul.

All in all, it was a mighty fine way to pass the time.

It was a great run John! I didn't comment much but was a faithful reader. I'll be checking in on G+

By Hanan Levin on 14-Oct-2011 @07:57 pm in Final Open Mic:

John,
I discovered your blog 9 years ago or so, and it is one of the 3 last blogs that I still read daily (Metafilter & Reddit are the others, but they are collective efforts). We started our communication on the wrong foot, but your blog was among those that inspired me too to start blogging and to carry it on for seven exciting years of daily prolific postings of my own. During these years we exchanged hundreds of links & re-blogs back & forth, so I've always considered your humor, interest & style very similar to mine.

I was not much of a participant in the lively comments here, so I still want to chip in today and say 'So long and thanks for all the fish'

deciBelcat:

Not to put down Bisbonian (since I did recognize his post as sarcasm), but the authors you quote were quite skilled at their craft, and thus we *should* be able to recognize their intent to skewer. Most posters on a blog comments page on the other hand...
By Cap'n Walker on 14-Oct-2011 @07:46 pm in Final Open Mic:

Found this blog about '04 and have looked in almost daily since. It is one of the best parts of the day. I would post a pic if I knew how; still do not get the 'circle' thing but will sometime. I want to follow John and all of you to G+. Too many of you are favorites to post all here. If any of you can tell me in few words how the circles work, thanks. I am not usually this difficult with tech stuff.
By Curtis on 14-Oct-2011 @07:44 pm in Final Open Mic:

Goodnight, John-Boy.

Whole Wheat Radio died last year about this time, and now this blog is hittin' the trail. My internet is much the poorer for their loss.

Dang, one less halfway-decent blog on the web.

Seriously, though, thank you for your effort. Yours was the first blog I got hooked.
Also thanks to you I discovered PZ Myers & pharyngula, helping me to be more vocal and forward with my atheism, so you've helped my 'spiritual growth' as well as entertained and informed me.

Many thanks and see you on G+.
By Debra Dalgleish on 14-Oct-2011 @06:53 pm in Final Open Mic:

Thanks for livening up the newsfeed every day. And now that the scheduled events are over, I hope you'll finish things off with a late night feast at the IHOP.

I wish all of you the best that life has to offer, and thank you for the many laughs had and new things learned.
Thank you, John, for having the party at your place. I am sure that, given enough time and sanitizer, the lawn will grow back and the furniture will be as good as new. And as for your couch that is upholstered in Bermuda Grass, that will be doubly true.

Good night, Irene.

I may never use my TinyPic account again.
Thanks for the chance to be there! Enjoy the new "+" era.
By Doug on 14-Oct-2011 @06:10 pm in Final Open Mic:

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your nym,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your nym...

Thanks again, J-Walk.

Thanks to everyone for commenting here. This place has provided the majority of my socialization over the past 3 years. Seeing all of your photos on WOMs was always great. All the hilarious screen names & funny JWB humor have provided much entertainment. So many good memories! It's been great.

Cheers to all of you, and goodbye to the good old J-Walk Blog!

Toad, Curtis, wok, Dinsdale Pirana, john weeks, Bisbonian...wow, names I've read comments from on and off for years. I've had times where I'd come here everyday, and then have some long breaks. I feel like I've taken the J-Walk blog for granted. John, tonight I'll honor you by walking against a red light.

I don't like Banjo's and I don't eat bacon but I still read just about every post that was made on this blog. Thanks and good riddance - more free time! :-)

No sign or booze, since I gotta get going to open up the jam room, but:

maybe this will do it? The expression might say what I think of the blog closing.

Great blogging, John. Thanks.
I made some good friends here.

Google+ will keep me from actually getting a real life.

Your last post looks so final. I'm in denial. No booze picture from me 'cause I quit drinking a month ago. Might have to start again. I've been reading the JWB since just about the beginning. Thank you for the great blog and over to G+!

Thanks for the good times, J-Walk. I'll see you on the other side (G+). Thanks to you and Pamn for staying in the shed when you visited us. Mrs. Toad and I had a ball, and we promise to visit, now that you have that hole dug in the backyard.

And, thanks to all my fellow commenters. Goodbye everyone!

I've been reading your blog for quite a long time, maybe four or five years but never once commented.

I'll miss it.
By john weeks on 14-Oct-2011 @04:02 pm in Final Open Mic:

Loved it, Checked it twice a day religiously.
Grew to know so many people.
Even though I keep up with all on G+ I will miss my twice daily check-in the way an ex- smoker misses a cigarette.
I'll miss it like a reformed alcoholic misses a really dry Bombay Sapphire martini with two whole olives and one smashed one.
I'll miss it like a lover misses the woman he loves when she's gone across the country on a business trip.
I'll miss it like a Father misses his kid five minutes after he leaves her asleep in her bed to go to work.
Well, maybe those were a stretch, but we J-Walkers were always prone to Hyperbole.
To tell you the truth, I'll miss the J-Walk blog like an 8 year reader of the J-Walk blog reader will after it's gone.
That other stuff? Nah, that stuff was serious....The J-Walk Blog was never serious.
By Ense on 14-Oct-2011 @04:01 pm in Final Open Mic:

I wonder what time comments will be turned off. Midnight Arizona time?

I won't be up that late as I got up at 6:00 because my apt manager said she was sending someone to hang new blinds because the president of her property management company was coming to take a tour. This blog is two hours behind me in time zones as Arizona seems not to do DST. Y'all hate Ben Franklin or something?

Cool video here. Always wanted to plug it in Open Mic but worried there would be an ethics violation as a relative works for this company.

I guess ethics don't matter any more.

See, I'm pretending this is just a regular open mic, like nothing's happening. How will I live?
