I AM Rod McManlypants!!!
Okay.
Occasionally it’s just too good to be true.
Jack Malebranche, King, nay… OVERLORD of all that is MANLY, Penultimate Detective of True Masculinity, and Advocate for all that is Sacred about Authentic Male Identity, the One True Male of the Species that can separate the Genuine Men from the Performance Pieces, thinks I’m a dude....
I got a screen shot, ‘cause it’s just too funny to not record for posterity. I am, apparently, “snide,” a “hipster,” and a “he.” At least he got the “snide” part correct.
He complains at length about Piny’s entry on his main page.
But, yeah… I am Rod McManlypants. And, don’t y’all forget it.

you know, for a manly man man-type dude, he’s kinda whiny.
— belledame222 Jun 2, 06:05 PM #
Yeah… for a “he,” I’m kinda pregnant. Miracles do happen.
— Veronica Jun 2, 06:12 PM #
on a total tangent, i whiled away a few hours playing Sims 2 when sitting a friends’ cats.
there is, in fact, an option where the men can become pregnant, in “Strangetown.” you have ‘em stargaze through the telescope, and a UFO comes and spirits them away. it’s a rather spectacular effect. three days later, the dude has a little green kid.

and uh no, dude, the difference between a LaVey style Satanist and a regular ol’ atheist isn’t that the former “doesn’t pretend to be a Christian;” it’s that the former has a rather flamboyant but not at all effeminate predilection for, ummm, theatrics.
and a not-at-all regressive fondness, I wager, for the Blond Beast. hey, dude, you are so beyond good and evil, gay or straight. you’re, like…the 0th dimension.
oh wait, wrong wanker, that was Kenneth Eng, sorry. still, i can’t help but think the cerebro-fluid sword ought to be pretty fucking studly. maybe y’all should get together and have a brewski or something.
— belledame222 Jun 2, 09:20 PM #
i don’t know, i think you’re pretty hip. but then again, i’ve been told way too many times i’m just a gay man who took it too far. so apparently, he wouldn’t like me at all.
— nexyjo Jun 2, 10:01 PM #
you took it too far? did you at least buy it dinner first?
— belledame222 Jun 3, 12:04 AM #
Wait a minute… is it manly to buy dinner first, or do you just knock them over the head with a club and have your homosexual way with them to achieve Authentic Masculinity?
— Veronica Jun 3, 02:38 PM #
hm. on second thought, maybe you both ride out into uncharted, savage lands on your ungelded stallions, and together kill a wild animal with your bare hands, then either build a fire and roast it or simply tear it to pieces raw and devour it. then have manly, passionate sex amid the bloody remains.
yes, that would be more like it.
corsages are totally okay though, as long as they aren’t orchids. something manly, like a sprig of spruce, or a clumb of particularly phallic mushrooms.
— belledame222 Jun 3, 04:51 PM #
LMAO.
— Veronica Jun 3, 05:17 PM #
He probably still isn’t reading, but I can’t not:
It’s ridiculous. Ridiculous. Not rediculous. Ridiculous. You’re a published writer with an editor and I assume you’ve completed primary school, Jack, so please: ridiculous: i, i, no e. Every time. It’s one of those words you really need to know how to spell. Like “stupid.”
A queer twenty-three-year-old transguy is someone who’s transitioning from female to male, who identifies as queer because (in my case) there’s no line that my libido won’t immediately stumble over. It wasn’t daddy issues, either—I’m much more fucked up than that. But then, you’re probably being rhetorical and it’s a moot point for me now anyway.
— piny Jun 3, 05:24 PM #
You know, he’s probably just paranoid? Someone with a tastefully decorated blog like yours takes offense and he just assumes you’re a screaming queen rather than, say, a woman.
— piny Jun 3, 05:27 PM #
Well, you know if you really pick through it, he misspells the title of his own book a couple of times. Really.
— Veronica Jun 3, 05:45 PM #
That sounds more like a typo, so it’s not as obnoxious. Plus, it’s not an insult to someone else’s intelligence or dignity. The word, that is. Not the book.
— piny Jun 3, 05:47 PM #
What, the picture of your very obviously pregnant self further down the page didn’t clue him in?
— CassandraSays Jun 3, 06:25 PM #
Yeah… he must have missed that. And, the multiple times “Veronica” shows up on any given page. I guess that True Masculinity no longer hinges on acute powers of observation, required in olden times for hunting wild game. Now, I'm sure it has something to do with finding the hidden level in video games, or something...
— Veronica Jun 3, 06:32 PM #
“stalking the wild Cheeto”
— belledame222 Jun 3, 07:07 PM #
I finally visited his page. Wow. Now why would anyone think he has issues? Where did they get that idea from? Huh?
“Nuff said. My book wasn’t designed to be an academic book and it isn’t a point-by-point argument against feminist/gender/queer theory (they are all a cunt hair apart as far as I’m concerned). ”
I mean really, “a cunt hair apart”?. Nope, no issues there!
And I see that he’s trying to imitate LaVey’s pointy little beard and mustache look. Aw, bless.
— CassandraSays Jun 4, 12:16 AM #
Clearly, Veronica, you’re just a man in denial. You’ve lost touch with your true masculinity and he’s just trying to help you find it again. You’re so far gone you actually believe you’re pregnant! See what feminism has done to you? Can’t you see he’s just reaching out to help you become the man you’re meant to be? Won’t someone think of the penis????
— Zan Jun 4, 06:16 AM #
Cassandra—the artfully groomed facial homage to LaVey has not been lost on this Miraculously Pregnant Fag. It really does just make him that much more hilarious.
— Veronica Jun 4, 12:03 PM #
Zan—Yeah… I guess someone should be thinking of my penis. I must have forgotten it somewhere. The poor thing must be lonely and afraid...
— Veronica Jun 4, 12:08 PM #
and you know, the manscaping there does not at all resemble Freddie Mercury.
— belledame222 Jun 4, 02:22 PM #
Aww, now… if he doesn’t self-identify as Queenly, then I shall not insinuate otherwise.
Specifically gay short man’s complex, on the other hand, seems mighty applicable.
— Veronica Jun 4, 04:19 PM #

yes, that would be more like it.
I remember that part of Brokeback Mountain!
Oh…wait…

“you took it too far? did you at least buy it dinner first”
no, ummm, i had it for dinner. now that’s manly :)
— nexyjo Jun 4, 05:56 PM #
Belle, be nice. What did poor Freddy ever do to deserve being compared to this tool?
— CassandraSays Jun 4, 06:29 PM #
Also, am I the only one who thought of the villain from Flash Gordon when I saw that picture?
— CassandraSays Jun 4, 06:33 PM #
If you’ve lost your penis, we maybe could lend you one of ours. We’ve got lots. :)
— Moira Jun 4, 07:37 PM #
nah, i just use my husbands when i need one. but thanks for the offer :)
— nexyjo Jun 5, 09:08 AM #
so that’s just a beer gut then?
— rootietoot Jun 5, 03:21 PM #
Beer and pizza. The kind that fights back.
