Ronin Profile: Brian the Adequate

Brian the Adequate

Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Brian the Adequate.


What’s the story behind your name? Brian is my first name. I started commenting at IMAO and Wizbang as simply Brian, but then a stupid liberal troll started commenting at Wizbang, besmirching the good names of Brians everywhere with its poo flinging idiotcy, and I added the The Adequate to distinguish myself from it. I figured no libtard would go for self- depreciative humor and I can also hope one day to deserve a promotion to Brian The Somewhat Nifty.
[Win some High Praise and you’ll get the promotion. -Ed.]
Where do you live? Lafayette, Indiana
How old are you? As of 2:00 PM, October 1, 2007 I am 36 years, 360 days and approximately 10 hours.
Tell us briefly about yourself. I am a conservative Christian, married for 13 years, proud father of 2 beautiful daughters ages 11 and almost 9. I have a BS in chemistry from Rose-Hulman and an MS in physical-organic chemistry from Colorado State and work for a large Pharmaceutical company supporting manufacturing. I don’t have any guns currently, but recommendations with respect to the best brand of shotgun would be appreciated as I will need to acquire one in the next few years (see age of daughters above). Other than the time at CSU, I have never lived outside of Indiana (Granger, Terre Haute and now Lafayette)
How long have you been reading IMAO? About 4 years.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Of all time I don’t think anything can beat the original Nuke The Moon post though the fun facts about the fifty states comes close. Currently Franks editorials and the LOLTERRITZ.
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Proverbs Twentysix three
What’s you favorite political issue? Not my favorite, but the only issue that is a deal maker/breaker for me is Judicial appointments. With the messed up system we have now, bad judges are a pox for years to come. More selfishly I am interested in ensuring that Big Oil remains (or someone else becomes) the whipping boy de jure for the socialist instead of the pharma industry.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. No, I am far to lazy.
[Me too! -Ed.]
What would you find more useful: A wheelbarrow full of rocks or a bucket of mud? Depends on the situation, if there is only one monkey faced liberal around, definitely the bucket of mud. Much more portable when running down ones target. If one is unfortunately confronted by a horde of code pinkers or moveon.morons then you need the greater number of shots allowed by the wheelbarrow of rocks.


If you commented in the last post asking for participants, you’re still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far; just because you may not think you’re interesting doesn’t mean we won’t enjoy your story.

Daily John Edwards Fabulous Fact

john edwards fabulous.jpgAl Gore may have invented the internet, but John Edwards invented the curtsey.
Bonus Fact from Casper the Friendly Host:
John Edwards campaign just announced the latest endorsement: Sen. Robert Byrd. In a prepared statement, Sen. Byrd stated, “As I flipped through the stations between Matlock and re-runs of Card Sharks, I saw Johnnie talking to a bunch of worthless whippersnappers on that MTV crap. But then I heard how he planned to pick up where I had left off so many years ago and knew I had found my candidate. That boy’s got moxie and gumption, not to mention good hair.”
Bonus Fact from Jim:
John Edwards’ campaign scrapped an idea for a campaign ad featuring average people giving their impression of the candidate after realizing that every interview ended with the words “…not that there’s anything wrong with that!”

PRODUCTION NOTE: When creating lolterizt! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
Send your submissions to lolterizt-at-gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.

More Fred Thompson Principles

Fred Thompson has a list of some of his principles at his blog, the Fred File. It’s not a complete list, though, and here are some more principles exclusive to IMAO:

The Environment. For too long, we have yielded to the forces of natures. Instead, the nature should bend to our will. We must tame it like a beast as use it as yet another tool to destroy our enemies. If nature will not yield to us, then it must be destroyed starting with the sun.
Space Exploration. We lay claim to all the universe. We must continue to explore space to see if any life forms are occupying our property and punish them.
Border Security. America deserves a giant wall on both borders made from human bones.
Military Technology. We need weapons that launch fireballs at our enemies. Enemies of America deserve to be hit with fireballs.
Foreign Countries. Foreign countries are an affront to our sovereignty. Their mere existence suggests that someone would prefer to live somewhere else than the U.S. For this blasphemy, we must destroy all foreign countries and punish those who support them.
Education. Children are stupid. Someone needs to do something about that or I will destroy them.
Terrorism. We must make our enemies know that Allah is not nearly powerful enough to protect them from our wrath.

Hillary Clinton Terrible Truths

Every time you hear Hillary laugh, you lose one year of your life.

Who Are These People?

Hillary Clinton raised $27 million in the last quarter?! Who are these people giving her that money? What kind of person wakes up in the morning and says to himself, “I’m going to give money to Hillary Clinton!”? That’s deranged.
My guess is that people are afraid that if Hillary becomes president, she’s going to hunt down those who didn’t donate to her and kill them just like she did Vince Foster. I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy nut, but everyone knows that Hillary killed Vince Foster in a fit of rage and hung his body from a lamppost as a warning to others. In her latest mailings, she slipped his obituary in with the fundraising letter and people got that message loud and clear.
Poor Obama; I wonder what she’ll do to him after all this is over?
