Daniel Rocks

Commenter Daniel posted a satirical vid he did in today’s Open Thread, but I am certain that the Threedonian Ruling Council would agree that it deserves a post of it’s own. It’s a mock of this piece of drivel. (Note: moronic link has been fixed). We learn two things in this video:

1) Daniel looks vaguely [...]

Interview: Fritz

Fritz, welcome to Threedonia’s Reader o’ the Week feature.

Guest Post: Mike Kriskey

I walk through the streets of a medium-sized city every day.  And almost every day, beggars ask me for money.  I don’t call them homeless, because that implies that they’re exactly the same as you or me, except that they’re on the street.  I don’t believe that.  They [...]

Interview: Mike Kriskey

(You’ll notice this one ends rather abruptly.  My apologies to Mike, but I had some things come up and was unable to ask him a few more questions that I had planned.  If you are interested in learning more about Mike, or reading more of his writing you can do so at his blog, Falling [...]

Interview: Tracy

Good Morning, Tracy.  How are you doing?

 

I’m alright, getting ready to do a Passover thing with  the kids tonight.

 

Speaking of kids… I’ve visited your website.  It looks like you and [...]

Hear Hear! Hear Hear!

Steph’s “Open Thread” comment, giving us a marvelous video link, truly deserves it’s own post. Can we elect this guy President?

(I mean, since you no longer need to be born here and all…)

Nice going Steph.

(And Jimmy C – my apologies for one-upping you on the sheep vid. I truly did not know you had found [...]

Interview: David Marcoe

Hi-dee hey, David (if that is your real name…)!  What’s going on? 

Hey, I’m responding to yet another person on the “Huddled Masses” thread. You?

Driving down one of our nation’s wide, asphalt covered highways, exceeding the speed limit while blogging this [...]

Guest Post: Stephanie

One of the things I have noticed in recent years is the underlying current of hostility towards Western Culture. It is not overt, but, it is there. The complete disregard for the roots of western culture, the intentional throwing away of heritage and pride for political correctness is mind boggling. [...]

Interview: Stephanie

Happy Monday, Threedonia!  This week’s Reader o’ the Week is Stephanie.  Get to know Stephanie a little better through this interview and if you have any questions of your own I’m fairly confident she’ll respond in the comments.  Also, later today I’ll have a post written by Stephanie up on the site.

Guest Post: Father Ron

At this point … although WWI was ghastly, and because of stupid politicians, led to WWII, which was an abomination. Out of that came mankind’s ability to wipe itself out of existence. And yet, we haven’t. Not yet, at least.

 

But a more basic abomination seems to have taken its place. Even though the wide-eyed idealists [...]

Interview: Father Ron

It’s back!  Your favorite Threedonia feature; Reader o’ the Week!

As our loyal readers know this is the time each week when we take a break from the brutal grind of gathering, assembling and disseminating the news of the world in order to highlight one of our many, many, many readers.  For it is you (and [...]

At Mr. Sid’s Suggestion

You wanted it, now we got it.

Check this out!

Shamwow Stimulation

A title that guarantees Texacali will read this post, don’t you think?

A reader who chooses to remain anonymous, but whom hereafter will be called “Randall” (in honor of my favorite Clerks character) sent in a wonderful piece on the bribe bailout. At the same time, my eldest brother points out that there is an on-line [...]

And The Winner Is….

Thanks to that last-minute Stillers TD, TRO wins the Threedonia Super Bowl Pool!

Interesting choice. TRO is more of a semi-regular, regular. Good comments for sure, but I’ll be interested to see what sort of video (he? she? no clue) asks for. This assumes that TRO blows through to claim his/her prize. Looking through the by-laws, [...]

Window Shopping

When considering the much-anticipated debut of her avatar, Kath said:

“Could I have a lovely pair of charming high heels? Perhaps in red?”

Well, we’re all about providing service to our readers (as opposed to servicing our readers – that’s somebody else’s department) here in Threedonia. So I went on a quick internets shopping trip, with [...]

Baghdad Rod

Reader Matt Helm suggested a certain parallel between Illinois Governor felon-in-chief Rod Blagojevich and a certain Iraqi Minister of Information. That was too good an idea to pass up, so Threedonia studios went to work to make it happen. (Thanks Matt!)

DAMN! – Texacali-knows

Some comments are just too damn good to live in comments all their life, and texacali nailed it with this one:

Because Justice is blind, she functions at the mercy of a cadre of good and fair men who protect her. But Justice is about to get screwed by a feminized fraternity of neither [...]

Lost Boy

A New Years’ Gift

This one’s for you  guys, our fabulous readers. I had intended to include more of y’all, but – as you know – time has been a bit limited. For those of our regulars that I left out in the latest vid, my apologies, and I promise I’ll get you next time around.

Enjoy:

For Kath’s Eyes Only

I apologize; we could not locate any toast in all of Threedonia. Chuck is likely hoarding all of it. So we had a staff meeting (don’t know why I always have to dress as the construction worker at staff meetings, by the way – I would much prefer to be the Indian) and [...]

Threedonia Interview: Outlaw13

(This will be a recurring, weekly feature.  This is a repost from May at DH’s Place to get things started here…)

As our loyal readers know this is the time each week when we take a break from the brutal grind of gathering, assembling and disseminating the news of the world in order to highlight one [...]
