WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED

Comments

[jaws]

First!
"Oh david cassady you're so dreamy!"

[jaws]

BTW, that was judi saying that, not me. I'm more of a Leif Garret fan. (as well as B&D)

[gfunksizzle]

Well.

She's hot.

Dave, I think you lose the war.

[FunkyTown]

I have to agree, she is hot.

[Deontologist]

This is a good picture!

Hardly an Act of War...either that or Judi's ammo is far more potent.

[chalks up a point for Judi]

[Flanagan]

Honestly Dave, Judi's picture is better than yours. Didnt you yourself once say that you were wearing glasses from "Mister Bob's House of Soviet Eyewear"?

[gina.g]

Sorry, Dave but your attempt at starting a war against judi shows again just how painfully small your people are, by people, I mean men and by small, well, I mean tiny.

judi- once again, you prevail (and your pic is cute!)

[Greg]

He Deontologist, could that be the first time the phrase "more potent" has ever been used when refering to Dave?

[Shannon]

The difference, Dave, is that Judi was not a dork.

[random thunking]

Mike, there certainly is a similarity. Hot Donna, Hot Judi, hot damn!! I'm not sure, but I think I lost my so-called virginity to Judi in a dorm room at a large midwestern university.

Judi, did you attend a large midwestern university in the early 80's? If you did, I'm sorry I did call. I meant to call, but I got busy doing stuff... honest.

[random thunking]

Didn't call... I meant to say "didn't call".

Aaargh, me weak attempt at humor is total lost due to a poor proof reading

[gfunksizzle]

Dave, I can only hope that you were expecting all this to happen when you insinuated that judi should put up your picture. I could have told you all this would happen. She'd put it up, we'd laugh at you, you'd put up hers, we'd laugh at you. Especially Shannon. Ouch.

[jaws]

Yeah, Palt Pisney Porld must be clogging your reason. The world outside those big goofy doors is not safe and sound. As is evidenced here, your minions will turn on you in a second and rip you up like Ted Habte-Mullet. Just ignore us until you get back. No, I didn't mean that! Come back, we'll be nice!

[Eleanor]

The only person you're delcaring war on, Dave, is yourself!

I think i speak for most blogettes when I say we would all liked to have looked as good as judi does in our HS pictures!

[Maud]

Accept your humiliating defeat as graciously as you can, Dave. As a return of fire, this is pathetic. In your picture, you look ... well, you know how you look. Whereas Judi is lovely. She's not even wearing any embarassing fad clothing or hairstyle. I have to assume this was simply your charming way of letting us all know how attractive Judi has always been, because you must have known it was no contest, right?

[jaws]

"There are two bloggers contributing to this blog:
-- "Dave" is Dave Barry, who is a humor columnist and presidential contender.
-- "judi" is Judi Smith, who is Dave's Research Department, as well as being interested in men."
That was copied off the main blog page. Three questions: And where is Mulletboy? Did we scare him off? Dave is a HUMOR columnist?

[Kilmeny]

Sorry Dave, no offense, but you lose big time. Judi's picture is adorable.

[gfunksizzle]

OK, judi, now show us your college pictures. You know. The ones where you're drunk and not wearing clothes.

[jawsbrother]

how dare you blog at work, jaws? you told me you wouldn't, you big poop!

[intelinside]

You two are weird. Stop with the squables. Plus jawsbrother, I think you owe him about 1 billion internet dollars now. After all, he did post that EVERYWHERE.

[snif]

No mullet here...

[snif]

Cannot...restrain...haiku...

I was king of dorks
and my hair an enigma
I own a Flo-bee

[U.O]

Cute!

Boy, if St. Judi'd been in my high school, I'd've wanted to date her ... except ... when I was that age (if we suspend reality for a moment, and ignore the generation difference in our real-time ages) I'd've been too shy to ask her out ...

Shy.

Yes.

Nowadays (Geezer Bus Driver's License is showing with language usage), my kids would say, "Yeah, dad's full of something, but it's not "bash" ...

[King Habte-bipeekaboo]

You tell that finch, Dave. If it ever comes down to it, I will fight for your side, because I like you a little more.

The Great And Powerful And Infinitely Excellent In All Ways, His Royal Majestic Excellency,
King Wingbipeekaboo

[jamester]

Dave, you SO lose...

[qetzal]

judi - you're a BABE!

(I'm a sucker for long dark hair.)

[M.C.]

A wartime haiku:

'judi' is quite hot;
The deciding factor is clear:
'Young Dave' is a dork

...Fortunately, a successful dork whose work we all appreciate... so in the end perhaps you both win. Or lose. Ah, keep fighting - that's more fun for the viewer.

[M.C.]

Nice. I accidentally over-compensated. A week ago I only had six syllables in line two. This puts me back at square one, I think...

[anon.]

We all know what Dave looks like now, but I wonder if Judi's still such a babe. NOT to say that Dave was ever a babe, or that Judi couldn't be a productive member of society. (Sheesh, all I need is the chicks on my case.)

[U.O]

Jeezly, anon. ---

We know that St. Judi is a productive member of society, and we'll grant that Dave produces ... um ... stuff ... that enables the society of us bloggers to exist, if nothing else ... so ... um ... HOWever, where does that leave us? What stretch of the imagination is necessary to quantify (or qualify) our ... um ... production (?) ... is ... um ...

... nevermind ...

[alanboss]

Yep, Dave. You'll have to concede this one. Judi's hot! (I was so in love with Laurie Partridge!)

[anon.]

What the crap UO? "Td-td-td-today junior!" I do realize that I left an important part of my statement out, and for that I appologise. I meant to say that even if she was no longer smokin' she could still be kind of worthwhile.

[Desert Rose]

WOW! Do know how much money I would have paid to have ONE of my high school pictures look like that? Imagine the biggest number you can think of and then multiply by a gazillion! Judi, you're a total fox! Not only that, but you were having a great hair day!*pouts*

[Psycho Joe]

I HATE to be redundant.
But, it bears repeating.
Judi is hot.
Great picture.

[Psycho Joe]

By the way Dave.
Let them hate.
Dorks will rule this foul planet.
I am testament to that.

Thank you.

[Brad]

Wait, so Judi looks like a boy, and Dave looks like a totally hot girl. Sign me up for the pink team!

[Cynthia]

NO doubt...judi wins...hands down.

n i agree with mike weasel...looks kinda like "donna" only sweeter.

[Maud]

Wow! Thanks, Cynthia. I didn't notice the link in Mike Weasel's post before. I thought he was seeing a similarity between Dave and Judi, which was disturbing. I feel better now.

[Kalyani]

Yes, that is quite the declaration of war. It is as if someone bombed you and you responded by sending them flowers. You see the problem is, Dave, that while you were goofy looking as a teenager, Judi was quite pretty; therefore posting her yearbook picture does not have the same effect. What you should have done was found an unattractive picture of some random person and posted that. As far as I know, before this picture none of us knew what Judi looked like, you could have poisoned us against her. You missed your chance!

[Burp!]

Sean? Seranade me too? I'll grow Partridge hair. And do my special burp for you. Please?

[Cynthia]

maud...*snork*;)

[Sarfaraz Merchant]

I am speechless. She is really beautifull.

[high voltage]

Yes, judi's picture is much better than Dave's. I, too, think she was/probably still is attractive. But that doesn't mean that Dave is losing the war. Imagine how any of you bloggerettes would feel if YOUR high school picture had been posted in the blog. I bet you would be mortified. Most girls I know are convinced that they always look bad in pictures, no matter what you tell them. Hopefully judi doesn't suffer from that particular form of female self-esteem dysfunction, but since 99% of girls I know do, perhaps the war is just heating up. On that note, I call for a bikini photo contest!

[queensbee]

if you're gonna start a war, make sure you're at least armed first...dave, you loooooose.

judi - one of those rare, really great yearbook photos.....

[Lou Bricant]

My Vote:

Judi = One of Charlie's Angel's
Dave = George McFly

[slyeyes]

judi, we had the same hairstyle back then. Super straight. Heaven forbid there be any kind of curl. That was easy for me, but I remember friends who ironed their hair.

[«LabSpecimen»]

Tossing my my two cents: judi is cute!

[queensbee]

raises hand ... I ironed my hair!! have really curly hair, which in 1968 was just awful! i even had bangs, and i taped them down to my head so they wouldnt get all frizzled. oh was i gawjus! we put our hair up in cocacola cans, to pull it straight. didnt reallly work.
i fought the curls, and the curls won.

[Reddsuss]

judi: Adorable! Dave: Not so much.

[Bobby Sherman]

Judi, Judi, Judi do ya love me?
Judi, Judi, Judi do ya care?
Judi, Judi are you thinking of me?
Judi, Judi will you will you still be there?

*Heavy sigh*

[Jeff Meyerson]

I think i speak for most blogettes when I say we would all liked to have looked as good as judi does in our HS pictures!

Hey, Eleanor, most of us wish we looked half that good now!

anon. As someone who has met the current Ms. Judi in the flesh, so to speak, let me assure you that she still looks good today. Other than the addition of non-dork glasses she could easily be recognized as High School Judi's (slightly) older sister.

How's that for sucking up? (And it's true.)

[Azamiel]

Just adding another "Judi is hot" and "Sorry you lost, Dave" to the thread.

Nothing more to see here...

Really...

Move along already...

[Tamara]

Y'all, I'm pretty sure His Daveness can recognize hotness when he sees it, and did in fact notice it in Judi's photo.

I'm onto you, Dave; you're a sweeeeetie!

[Exotica]

Lou,

George McFly? Priceless!!

Love it!

Exotica

[Exotica]

Lou,

George McFly? Priceless!!

Love it!

[Daddypopp]

Sory, Dave. I think you lost the war, she's cuter.

[ceeg22]

I know I'm being redundant - or is it repetitive? - but Judi looks like Laurie Partridge and Dave looks like Ernie on My Three Sons (what was their last name? Oh, yeah, Douglas! Robbie Bunny Douglas was almost as cute as Bobby Sherman, although Bobby Sherman was never my taste except that I loved that song).

[gfunksizzle]

I still think the best thing someone's come up with for Dave is that he looks like that other kid in Animal House, whatshisname. The guy that toured all the frat houses with the fat kid.

[Somewhere North]

I think the real acid test is to post Ted Happy-Grabber's high school picture.

Judi - cute pic!

[judi]

holy ****.

you guys are such suckups! :) and at the same time, have made me want to kill myself, because that was thirty, i mean, several, years ago. (we know this because i was more flattered by the comparison to laurie partridge than the gorgeous redhead from "that 70s show.") and by the way, where were all of you THEN, when i needed a date? (as opposed to now, when i'd pay good money for one?)

sean: that was incredibly stupendous.

jeff: {snort} yeah, i still look JUST like that.
(do you want it in small bills, or one large check?)

[I Hear Dread People]

Susan Dey??? No WAY!!! Judi is much cuter. Susan Dey was so lame she couldn't even get a rise out of David Cassiday (sp?) (who cares?) who at that time was rising all over anything that moved or held still. Double eeeeeewwwwwww!

[judi]

but she was his SISTER! for heaven's sake! eeyew!

[elle]

Judi- so pretty!

I think Dave posted the picture as a compliment.

[Ted]

A look at that picture, and one word comes to mind:

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Rookie]

Larry Kroger.
AKA Pinto.

[ceeg22]

didn't all the boys at school look like Dave (Ernie, Pinto, George McFly) anyway, judi? obviously those geeks were too itimidated by your beauty to ask you out.

[I hear dread people]

Wow, my first post and I somehow score a TRIPLE! Do I get a standing O or am I now banned for life?

[Jon]

Bikini Contest?!
I really don't think that I want to see Dave in a bikini! (no offense meant to any bikini wearing men in South Florida, or elsewhere..)

[Jon]

[Kid Charlemagne]

I suspect that Tamara is correct; Dave was actually being nice, because that picture of Judi was babelicious!

[casey]

Dread: if you wish to have a standing O, I am positive there are quite a few bloggers of the male persuasion that would be more than happy to help you out.

Of course, I'm assuming you are a female. If you are male, well, I'm sure you will just help yourself sometime in the next 15 minutes.

[Kid Charlemagne]

[Somewhere North]

Ted, don't be sore that Judi has longer hair than you and looked better in high school. Just keep growing that mullet and soon, your hair could be that long too.

Of course, Judi's picture will still look cuter, but that is entirely beside the point.

[Russell]

Thanks, Dave...add 'nuther vote to the cutie Judi column!

[I Hear Dread People]

Casey: Female/ok/When?

[kibby F5™]

*goes to find Back to the Future Delorian*

ROAD TRIP!!!

[Leetie]

Judi, you're much better looking than Laurie Partridge. She always looked really awkward to me.

Ah, the memories... David Cassidy was OK, Leif was cute, but I liked John Travolta (yes, the sweathog) and *shudder* Shaun Cassidy better.

Da Doo Ron Ron Ron Da Doo Ron Ron

Remember John Travolta's short-lived singing career?

I'm gonna let 'er in... I'm gonna let 'er in mmmmm mmmmm... gonna let her in my life...

[judi]

lol @ casey :) naughty girl! (but oh so true)

[The Blog]

Memo to: I hear dread people

It's very difficult to have an O while one is standing, but you are not banned! LOL!

[Leetie]

Personally, I find it hard to remain standing during a standing O. Must be all that clapping...

[Leetie]

*snork* El!

[judi]

my #1 super-swoon teen tiger beat heartthrob was leonard whiting, from romeo and juliet :) i still have the scrapbooks. :) but i loved david, shaun, bobby (and his "brother" david soul), and MARK LINDSAY oooooooooooooooh ;)

[Ken Pierce]

Since Dave is presumably not blind, and since he is a male and therefore completely incapable of expressing even the most platonic affection by simply coming out and saying, "Hey, you're cool and I like you," I agree with the theory that this is his repressed male way of doing something nice for Judi.

Namely, by ensuring that she will be harassed by multiple, smitten male stalkers for the foreseeable future.

A hottie with a sense of humor...my, my, my.

[ceeg22]

The picture I had in my locker was Starsky

[Leetie]

I'd kill to have my old Tiger Beat and Mad magazines!

[Ted]

Whatabout a contest involving Dave's or Judi's picture?

[Giddy]

WHATEVAH! She's a babe. Good hair,

-D

[casey]

Look at Ted's pathetic attempt to divert attention from his mullet!!!!!

Hey, I have a great idea! Let's make fun of Ted!

[Federal Duck]

Hey Judi,

You said nobody asks you out?

*gets down on bended knee*

I am officially asking you out. We can paint the town a glorious vermillion.

As the self-appointed speaker for the Bloggette Hottie Appreciation Committee, I feel it is darn-nigh criminal to have your Judiness not being appreciated for the hotness that you possess in such abundance.

Also, I'm 25 and have loads of youthful vigor. *exaggerated wink*

[I Hear Dread People]

Fed, if Judi turns you down, well I say, GIMMEE!

[ted]

She likes 'em young.

[judi]

fed, darlin', did you see the post about that being a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago? i'm probably too old for your DAD. (but you can give him my email address, anyway.)

[judi]

(the fundamental truth of ted's comment notwithstanding.)

[Bangi_Sizzles]

Judi, U look HOT HOT HOT!
beshi joss! ( translates to AWESOME)

hey guys...have we properly welcomed ted to the blog? ( grass skirts n coconut bras and so on?)

[Leetie]

We all did photoshop pics and wrote love poems to him over on poetry.com, Bangi... if that's not a proper welcome, I don't know what is!

BTW, TWO of my poems have been removed! WTF?

[Sondra]

MARK LINDSEY, MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

[Maud]

So am I the only one who was in love with Bobby Sherman's and David Soul's "other brother," Robert Brown? Yeah, I know. I always am.
