Newbie Alert!!! Here's the "Moran guy"

[charlyvi]

I've noticed on some threads recently where a newbie or two bemoans the way we spell moron. Well, I guess it's time to showcase our beloved moran guy again; the oldies are the best, huh?

Okay, newbies. Here's why we spell moron as "moran". Enjoy.

[depakid]

1. Don't forget his family

We think that may be him in the upper left hand corner....

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. "The Amnetyville Horror -- the house built by illegal immigrants."

:D

[DesertRat]

6. Honk for English

:spray: :rofl: :rofl:

[Cha]

17. For some crazy reason

this all makes me hungry for Mexican Food! The kind I used to get in Arizona! :9

[newspeak]

36. oooh, grew up in Phoenix

we had this small Mexican food place across from my house--yum!!!!!! I remember in Phoenix, we didn't call it a burrito, it was called a burro. When I moved to California, they called it a burrito. YECH, my first introduction to Taco Bell was in California--I thought at the time-THIS IS NOT MEXICAN FOOD.

[Cha]

38. Double Yum!

:9 :9 I remember an open face Quesedilla and salsa to die for!

A big Burro sounds good right about now..I still have gotten around to eating lunch!

[Kurovski]

47. Green Chili in New Mexico! It's been decades and I can still taste it!

Yum.

[janx]

52. I live in NM now and eat it on a regular basis.

And I have to perfect the classic posole recipe; that I'm still working on. And there is NOTHING, nothing, like a New Mexican homemade tamale.

[Kurovski]

55. In younger days, dad used to bring home tamales made by a co-worker's

mom twice a year when she'd make huge batches to sell. perfection!

Years ago, Whole foods in Chicago sold vegetarian tamales for a time that were excellent.

And Safeway's deli has some that are dry and uninspired, but it's at least something until I can get out of Mayberry and into a good Mexican Resturaunt. The food in New Mexico was frickin' great! There were lot's of inexpensive little mama's-cookin' joints I hit.

Any city that has a large newer immigrant population has excellent, moan-happily-aloud, affordable food. It's one of the reasons I hated to leave Chicago as home-base.

Uh-oh. Have the foodies hijacked this thread?

[Cha]

57. Yeah, we hijacked it~

Where would we be without Mexican Food? Viva La Cucina Mexicana! :toast:


Edit~ Ooops I put Vive instead of Viva!!

[Kurovski]

58. Mucho delicioso!

:toast:

[Sequoia]

81. Yum, indeed.

[janx]

64. I lived in Boulder County for 11 years and know Whole Foods,

and I know the mass-market Safeway version of the tamale...

But there's NOTHING like a homemade tamale in a real corn husk made by someone who is over 60 in New Mexico. Those people are some of the only ones who are willing to take the time with the masa and the whole process. Tamales are made with LARD. That is a cold, hard fact. The best southern U.S. fried chicken is made with LARD also. Homemade pie crusts are often made with LARD. A lot of soap in the early days was made with LARD also.

When it comes to the tamale, "health food" stores and mass market chains just don't make the grade. ;-)

Safeway deli tamales? Hurl! If you're going to do it, do it right! :hi:

[Kurovski]

66. I'll be awaiting my first overnight shipment.

:hi:

Yes, that's the way they were regularly made in South Chicago, once upon a time. (Mexican-Polish neighborhood.)

And I might also add that real Czarnina contains duck's blood, now that we're facing cold, hard facts! :D

Like I say, I live in "Mayberry" now.

[grace0418]

80. It's the only thing that keeps me sane living in Chicago.

The weather drives me nuts 80% of the year. Too hot, too cold, too windy, too humid...

Ah, but the ethnic food rocks. And within 2 miles of my house I can enjoy excellent Thai, Mexican, Cuban, Indian, Pakistani, Ethiopian, Vietnamese, Columbian, Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, French, Greek, Guatamalan, Jamiacan, Nepalese, Persian, Afghani, Morrocan, Turkish... I'm forgetting some but you get the idea.

Gosh, now I'm really hungry.

[Hekate]

93. Try La Superica Taco if you're ever in Santa Barbara; Julia Child loved it

California has some very good Mom and Pop restaurant Mexican food, and La Superica is one of them. yummy

Hekate

[AspenRose]

88. I just had a green chile bagel this morning

:-) Being from Texas (the Tex Mex capital of San Antonio no less) I didn't fully understand the red/green thing when I came to NM. I have a better appreciation for it now.

Tomasita's vegetarian green chile is heavenly. :-)

[Kurovski]

91. I hope you "Green Chili" folks realize just how lucky you are.

Personally, I'm just plain green with envy.

[Ladyhawk]

69. Dammit, you guys are making me hungry for a Mexican restaurant downtown.

I can't keep overreating like this! :)

[Raster]

90. ahhhhh, Arizona-Sonora style Mexican food!!! Nuthin' finer!

Flour tortillas 18 inches wide, green chilies and pork and don't forget the carne chimichanga! Que Bueno!

[BrotherBuzz]

45. That's not Moran in the upper left hand corner -that's his uncle and...

half brother. :rofl:

[Kurovski]

51. A cry for help.

[rosesaylavee]

2. And lest we forget other misspelling gifts from

our friends in Freeperville:

HUGH! = huge

SERIES!111!!! = seriously!

[onethatcares]

3. if you use an Elmer Fudd accent

it all makes perfect sense

[rosesaylavee]

5. Ahh, Ehma Fudd

You are sooooo right!

[Richard Steele]

29. And the "faith-based" spelling at their HUGH Crawford ProBush rally:

Apparently, their self-styled "silent majority" moved past
mere silence and on into complete invisibility,
leaving only mangled English as evidence of their presence:

[charlyvi]

34. Okay, so where's your evidense? LOL

[Richard Steele]

73. Evidense, schmevidense! I have FAITH, for I have seen the SIGN!

I _KNOW_ that Freepers are there,
for, yea, the SIGN is well and truly fucked up! :rofl:

And is it not written in the Proverbs,
"The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:
but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness..." ?

(that's just a rhetorical question;
it really _IS_ written there: Chapter 15, verse 2.

The book goes on to make some VERY disparaging remarks about
sarcastic people with silly usernames,
but all the Biblical scholars I know agree
that we can safely disregard those passages as
irrelevant to our modern era.)

[cascadiance]

41. These guys support the prezdent too!

[Lautremont]

59. At first I was surprised to see that they had correctly placed an

apostrophe in "it's," but then I noticed it was actually a grommet.

[Monk06]

77. Damned if you're not the most observant one. Nice catch.

[SoCalDem]

56. TRUTH BE DEMAND !!!1!!1!!...n/t

[koopie57]

7. We better be nice to him

if peole vote for president based on who they would like to have a beer with .... well, I'm just saying .....

[TriSec]

8. Heh

Well, small wonder concepts like "diplomacy" elude them...

Thanks for illustrating so vividly that most right-wingers are indeed too stupid to walk upright and use simple tools.

[newspeak]

37. does that mean some people like

to associate with mean drunks?:shrug: Or is it meen druncks?

[Kurovski]

50. People who drink have no MORELS!

[smirkymonkey]

63. Hey, I've got MORELS!

[Kurovski]

65. I'm not sure, but I think the Freepterllectual types call those "Morils",

the less bright among them call them "munchrums" ;-)

[bigwillq]

53. Hello!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[ebayfool]

9. More family on the freeper minute man threads -

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1639528/posts?q=1&&page=1

[progdonkey]

12. unfortunately, that's intentional....

Instead of being an accidental misspelling by a moranic Freeper, that's supposed to be a tongue-in-racist-cheek response to McCain for supporting Bush's "amnesty" plan, bringing untermensch immigrants who can't speak English into the US.

Sort of a Mexican version of "Hey, soldja boy, me love you long time. Sucky sucky fibe dollah."

[ebayfool]

13. I got the tongue/cheek part @ McCain, but not the intentional misspelling.

It looks so natural for a freeper ... they're harder to 'read' & understand than the 'furinners' they're so frightened of!

[xultar]

10. How is a newbie gonna come up in da'house all puffed up & shit?

[AspenRose]

89. You'd be surprised, it happens all the time

eom

[janx]

11. The moran guy has been in many places and times

throughout history. In fact, you never know where and when you might find him.




Hmmm...where's that famous thread with others?

[Smarmie Doofus]

15. I understand the GOP is seriously.....

... considering running him in the 17th CD (NY).

[Critters2]

94. Series!!111!? That's HUGH!1! eom

[janx]

46. Oh, thank you! Yes, that's the thread I was thinking of!

This time I'll bookmark it--it makes me laugh harder every time I see it. Thanks! :pals:

[Smarmie Doofus]

14. My deceased grandmother ( named Moran....

and *anything* but a moron)...thanks you for your explanation.

[dogday]

16. Then there is this group

They don't have to spell, the hat says it all.....

[Cha]

18. "People of Compassion"???!!

What a Big Fat Elephant Crock that is!

[dogday]

84. That is funny---No Compassion from this

party whatsoever :rofl:

[TankLV]

97. I thought it was another DICK HEAD!

[charlyvi]

19. Heh.

It's like they're a big group of performance artists, huh? LOL!

[EFerrari]

22. It must be a chore finding hats to fit that head.

:rofl:

[charlyvi]

28. Which one? LOL

[linazelle]

[SeattleRob]

21. this is hugh!

[charlyvi]

25. Seriesly!!! LOL! n/t

[Sugarcoated]

23. Let's not forget Pat, she's also the face of the Republican party

[cascadiance]

39. No, he's the face of the Republician Party!

[charlyvi]

42. Pat needs to Efferdent that upper plate a bit more.....

Or was I being too tacky?

[Kurovski]

48. You'll have to go a long way to be as tacky and disrespectful as Pat.

Don't sweat it. I mean, she's the one crapping on a member of the US military with her poorly conceived commentary, while you are merely pointing out her obvious contempt for hygiene.

[Kurovski]

62. And here's who Pat Peale REALLY is, as reported by punpirate:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/articles/04/09/07_purple.html

"If you think she's just another mindless twit who happened to slap a joke on her chin on her way into the Republican National Convention, think again:

She's known Karl Rove since he was "a youngster."

She's fixed dinner for George W. Bush.

She's also whipped up lunch for that hungry Republican crew of "rioters" in Florida who were determined to stop that nasty ol' vote count from proceeding in the 2000 election.

One of her sons works for Phil Gramm, ex-Republican Senator from Texas, and the other of her sons works for Fred Thompson, ex-Republican Senator from Tennessee."

EDIT: To add an excerpt from the article.

86. Pat - redefining GOP Lowlife

Man, I'd forgotten how furious I was at that bandaid stunt

Truely, bandaids are all vets can expect from the Republicans.

[rosesaylavee]

35. Ahh, this is new to me... wow. Just wow.

I guess that is as good a way to honor the 'gooey death' as Vonnegut puts it as any other.

[janx]

49. That pic is from the Terri Schiavo protest on the part

of fundamentalist Republicans. It still blows my mind that the federal government got involved.

[wryter2000]

70. Jesus on a trailer hitch!

I haven't seen that one for ages.

:hide:

[Brian Morans]

I've been a DUer since the Iraq war started and I missed it.

[janx]

60. Consistent misspellings on FR...

They make fun of it now, but it still happens frequently. It happens here too, but not with the same regularity.

[dalaigh lllama]

67. This reminds me of a Gary Larsen "Far Side" cartoon

One of Larsen's cartoons was of an empty restaurant with the owner standing at the door obviously wondering why no one was coming in to enjoy the daily special, which was advertised on a large poster-board outside the restaurant: "Filly Steak Special."
Underneath the cartoon it said: "Why Spelling Matters."

Little did I know at the time that the restauranteur was a moran!!!111

[democrank]

68. PLEESE HEHP!!!!!!! I` AM SERIES1111111111111

[YOY]

87. I'm seeing them all but one

Where's my favorite? The unknown patriot...the guy with the star spangled jogging suit?

[lparsons]

92. Morans guy, spotted again

It turns out our friend is much closer to shrub than we had previously suspected - here he is on the day that saddam's capture was announced:

[KamaAina]

95. I wonder what the sign on the right says.

Could it be Free "Ripublik"? :evilgrin:

[Atmashine]

96. Morans!
