Know Thy Enemy: IMAO and Frank J.
* When I first made named my site IMAO, I thought the meaning would be obvious to everyone. My only fear was that some people would think I was declaring solidarity with Chairman Mao (when IMAO.com wasn't available, the suggestions given were icommunist.com and imarxist.com). * When on blogspot, comments were labeled "IYAO". * The original tagline of IMAO was "No problem is so complex it can't be solved by proper firearm usage." Later, with the help of Laurence Simon, I made a randomly rotating tagline which included "Political musings of a dumb smart guy." (and "Political musings of a smart dumb guy."). The reason "Political musings of a dumb smart guy." was settled on was that was the tagline Rachel Lucas picked when she made me a banner for my switch to MT. I don’t have the list of taglines on me right now, but I’ll put them up later tonight. * I first heard of Scrappleface when he put in the comment section of one of my posts "If you want to see a related parody, go to..." I was a little flattered at the time that someone thought I had enough readers to bother siphoning off them, but, in the end, I dismissed Scrappleface as an annoying upstart. * Despite their popularity, Glenn Reynolds has never once linked to an In My World™ post, knowing that people would find it too funny and it would grow my power too much to have that many people see one. * According to the Blogging Ecosystem today, I need 1067 more links to catch up on Instapundit. So, come on, start linking! * I was born June 4th, 1979, so, despite my young age, technically my life spans four decades. * My last name does not start with a 'J'. * In a fight between IMAO and Aquaman, IMAO would win because of Aquaman's piss-poor hacking skills. * Aquaman is just the lamest superhero ever. I mean, he's completely useless on land and only marginally useful in water (he can breathe underwater and talk to fish). Maybe he could be a really good lifeguard, but superhero seems to be aiming to high. * I am proudly the number one Google hit for "I hate Michael Moore". * I own the URL bombfrance.com, but have yet to do anything with it. I was hoping to make a signature drive like Not in Our Name where I would collect signatures of people who wanted the U.S. military to bomb France. I would then e-mail the petition to everyone in Congress. * I receive very little hate mail. I've often seen liberals link to my posts saying, "Hey, look at this great Rumsfeld bashing." * Hot chicks in their twenties who are single and find me irresistibly handsome and witty should e-mail me immediately. * I'm hoping to somehow expand IMAO into some super-conglomerate where I make lots of money. I like money. * I am thankful for all my readers, and I love everyone one of you. 65 Responses To "Know Thy Enemy: IMAO and Frank J."
It is still not obvious what IMAO means. Not to me, anyway. #2 - Posted by: Spoons on July 9, 2003 12:38 PM"I am thankful for all my readers, and I love everyone one of you." awwwww... thanks! We love you, too Frank! I MIGHT even snap now and actually link you before the end of the day.... maybe. Damn! I'm such a sucker for the, "I love you guys" line. Fine, fine. I'll link you AGAIN today. (Have you noticed that I've been linking you everyday this week? Hmm? HMMM?) Happy blogiversary Frank. #4 - Posted by: serenity on July 9, 2003 12:52 PMHere's a link that may shed light on it: The Jargon Dictionary Of course the better link is here: Happy, happy blogiversary, Frank! Some people might think I'm getting a little mushy, here, but I want to tell you that you've made a positive difference in my family's life. I have a 12-year-old daughter, Victoria. She's getting to that age where we don't relate on that "little kid" level any more, but she's not a grown-up yet, either. So we're trying to relate as best we can in this strange, in-between place. Well, one day I was reading your site and laughing like a loon. Naturally, she came into the room to find out what in the world her mom was in hysterics about. I shared an "In My World" with her, and that was the beginning of great fun. We laughed like crazy, and she even learned some political stuff she didn't know before. It's been a terrific bonding thing between us. I regularly share your site with her (the G-rated stuff, that is, heehee), and we now have our own private jokes based on Frank J.'s humor. We like to do a duet with our impersonation of Tom Daschle (sticking our fingers in our ears and saying "La, la, la! Tax cuts for the rich!"). While hurrying to do something, we also say conspiratorially to each other, "Laughing makes you run faster." We see a squirrel outside in the yard and she says, "Hello, squirrel!" One of her favorite sayings is, "There must be no safe haven for ninjas!" This sounds kinda goofy, I know, but it means a lot to me as a parent. Victoria and I are having a lot of fun because of your site, and I just wanted to thank for you for that. May you have many more great blogging years to come. always, Angela #6 - Posted by: Angela on July 9, 2003 01:00 PMFrank, it's cool that you're using your site to pick-up chicks, but you need to make sure you let us know what you catch. If it's worthy, I'm getting my own damn web site. Good luck. Thanks. Jason. H. If you love me so damn much, you'd put me on your blog roll. That said, I love you too. #8 - Posted by: Bill on July 9, 2003 01:43 PMI wish I was #1 on google for something, that is awesome. Oh, whatever you do, do not go to michaelmoore.com, you may end up breaking something. Happy blogiversary, #9 - Posted by: CLS1 on July 9, 2003 01:52 PMI tried to think of a funny, but not too wise-assy response to, "I love everyone one of you," but all of my efforts made me think of a meek cowpoke saying, "Draw!" to the number-one gunslinger. I love you too, but not as much as Susie does. (I still feel obligated to point out "everyone" should be two words, though.) And I was right about the meaning of IMAO, except for the 'arrogant' part. #10 - Posted by: LC Victor on July 9, 2003 01:53 PMIn my actual opinion, I think if you study history you can find the answers you seek. #11 - Posted by: Jennifer on July 9, 2003 02:16 PM"I am thankful for all my readers, and I love everyone one of you." Haha, I'm a liberal :P #12 - Posted by: Vince on July 9, 2003 02:17 PM"despite my young age, technically my life spans four decades" I guess that means that technically my life spans six decades. Thanks ONE BIG-ASS GODDAM HELL OF A FRIGGING LOT FOR BRINGING THAT UP, FRANK! #13 - Posted by: Ken Summers on July 9, 2003 02:44 PMHappy blogiversary, Frank. #14 - Posted by: Romulus on July 9, 2003 03:25 PMI always thought the "A" in IMAO stood for asinine. #15 - Posted by: James on July 9, 2003 03:26 PMAll hail Frank! #16 - Posted by: SparcVark on July 9, 2003 04:12 PMI international Brillant...simply brillant. Frank, we all love you too, even those who send you hate mail (they're just jealous). All this pent up emotion...I need to go strangle a liberal... Have another great year of blogging, Frank. #18 - Posted by: Tim E on July 9, 2003 05:41 PMFirst time here. Courtesy of the Anti-Idiotarian's link. Got anything good to eat? #19 - Posted by: Meteor Blades on July 9, 2003 06:04 PMFrank, what happens to people who don't link you today? Just curious. I linked. You scared me into it. #20 - Posted by: Meryl Yourish on July 9, 2003 06:12 PMHappy aniversary. Congratulations my puissant and fearsome Imperial Sec.-of-State! Not only does the mere mention of your name (not to mention Chomps!) strike fear into the hearts of the enemies of the Empire, not only does the mere thought of your awesome might jellify their organs instantly and not only do you wield the power to utterly evaporate every enemy smaller than Jupiter (and the Imperial Weapons Labs™ are working on that one as we speak), but you make us laugh as well. What's not to like? #22 - Posted by: Emperor Misha I on July 9, 2003 06:49 PMYOU LOVE ME! EVEN ME! WOW..... i was under the impression u didnt much like me. for example: hehehe i love ya too #23 - Posted by: Joey D on July 9, 2003 07:17 PMHey Misha, I thought he was the Sec of War... or did you combine the two functions in the Rottweiler Empire? And I am pretty sure that, monkey assasination aside, IMAO stands for "In My Arrogant Opinion." Which is cool. #24 - Posted by: Mollbot on July 9, 2003 07:34 PMHey, I voluntarily and of my own free will linked IMAO at my Web site, and refrained from using any snide remarks such as, "No one in his right mind would ever visit this blog!" Happy blogiversary. #25 - Posted by: Bloodthirsty Warmonger on July 9, 2003 07:58 PMFrank. You HAVE to do that petition thing with the bombfrance.com url. Please. I beg you. You could even make a very small flash presentation to advertise it, and create an emailed link. Yeah! OK, I'm getting a little too excited about that. But I bet you'd be surprised how REALLY popular it would be. Might get you on the news. And THEN imagine the links!! ps. Happy blogaversary. #26 - Posted by: skorp on July 9, 2003 08:21 PM"J" is Frank's middle initial. Thanks to a Super-Secret Prize of No Monetary Value, I now know FrankJ's last name; it's...hey, a squirrel!! Hello, squirrel! #27 - Posted by: Tuning Spork on July 9, 2003 09:20 PMI linked you like a good little girl...now just put that no-dachi back down... --Denita TwoDragons Well since you don't blend puppies, just maybe a once in awhile monkey, I'll say too: Happy Blogiversary! I always thought the "A" stood for awesome. It came naturally as the oppposite of "humble". #30 - Posted by: M. Upton on July 9, 2003 10:40 PMwhoops, forgot to mention: Happy Blogiversary! You and RWN are the only sites I faithfully visit every day; and I bought *the* T-shrit. #31 - Posted by: M. on July 9, 2003 10:45 PMGeez, how many times in one day are you going to force me to admit I love you? #32 - Posted by: michele on July 9, 2003 11:09 PMHEY! Congratz! Has it been a year already? Also a very congratz to you on the "i hate michael moore" listing. Big time there buuudy. Oh, Aquaman is indeed the lamest, though I read an issue of Marvel vs. DC with Aquafag vs. Namor and even though Namor can lift a battleship over his head whist flying on his little ankle wings, he was beaten by AquaGirl when he used it telepathic (err... telepathetic) powers to get a blue whale to jump up out of the water and squish Namor... CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT!? Anyway, grtz. - Wil #33 - Posted by: Geek with Gun on July 10, 2003 02:16 AMLove you too, Stinki! Link Frank! Even I link Frank, and I'm not even part of the blogosphere. Actually, Frank isn't liked right now because I only just installed Moveable Type and doing layouts in MT is way, way harder than Greymatter. I'll get onto it though...honest. Please don't sic chomps on me (does cute simpering face with saucer-plate eyes, anime style!) #35 - Posted by: Korgmeister on July 10, 2003 08:04 AMOpen your mind - http://eldorado.com.ua #43 - Posted by: Open your mind - http://eldorado.com.ua on May 19, 2004 01:04 AMOpen your mind - http://eldorado.com.ua #44 - Posted by: Open your mind - http://eldorado.com.ua on May 20, 2004 06:36 PMFast Automatic Exchange PayPal, e-gold, e-Bullion, EvoCash Fast Automatic Exchange PayPal, e-gold, e-Bullion, EvoCash Open your mind - http://eldorado.com.ua #49 - Posted by: Open your mind - http://eldorado.com.ua on May 27, 2004 07:12 PMBuy www.i-directv.net this it is a wonderful addition to anyones home entertainment system. #50 - Posted by: directv on May 27, 2004 09:46 PMBuy www.i-directv.net this it is a wonderful addition to anyones home entertainment system. #51 - Posted by: directv on May 28, 2004 08:57 AMWe offer a wide variety of efficient and cost effective drug tests, detox products, pregnancy tests and other medical tests. http://www.docself.com #52 - Posted by: Drug Tests on July 1, 2004 05:31 AMLas piezas de mi adversario se mueven muy lentamente por el tablero preparando un ataque que, cuando llegue, será tan irresistible como repentino #55 - Posted by: Butalbital on September 10, 2004 04:47 AMVery nice and useful site.
