Go check the recent comments. You’ll see a bunch by some guy calling himself Ted Dymski. You’ll notice that most of them are on old posts. You’ll also see that Ted doesn’t get it. He seems to have no concept of time or at least doesn’t understand what the dates next to posts or comments mean. He also doesn’t get sarcasm. Satire is beyond him.
So, what I wonder is do we mock him or do we ignore him? Or is he a genius along the lines of Andy Kaufman?
If we mock him, we may be bullying someone who really isn’t all that smart, although I suspect this isn’t really the case, since his spelling seems to be spot on. Most stupid people can’t spell worth a darn, so I’m thinking Ted Dymski isn’t a dumbski.
So, is he just a troll? I’m kinda thinking so, but I could be falling for his act. Maybe he is somebody’s Tony Clifton.
I’m really not sure. I’m still leaning towards someone who just doesn’t get it. I mean, how else do you explain his response to a comment about Lurch from the Addams Family being based on John Kerry? Go read the comment and Ted’s response.
So, since he may be a latter-day Andy Kaufman, and since Saturday Night Live is now even less funny than IMAO, I’ll play Lorne Michaels and ask what should we do about Ted?

Don’t vote to mock him unless you actually go mock him. Let’s keep this thing above board and back up our vote with actions.
Hi Ted. I’m a cat.
A cool one at that.
I just went and looked one of Ted’s latest comments – on a post from 2011!
I’m guessing Ted has been in a coma for a decade or so and is getting caught up.
Welcome back, Ted!
We were all pulling for you. We knew if anyone could beat that coma it was you!
As long as he doesn’t try for a moon post.
Ted, this is me mocking you for your post(s).
I don’t know how he will ever recover from such a scathing verbal annihilation.
“what should we do about Ted?”
What’s wrong with a little castration?
You need balls do do that.
Actually, I was thinking more of the Chinese style castration, where they take the balls and the wee wee.
Still, you need balls to do that. Wink*wink.
I noticed Ted’s posts over the weekend. I was trying to figure out he was coming from by reading his posts. Still not sure what his deal is or why he comments to old posts..
I think we should ignore him until he goes full troll.
You dumdum! You’ll get yours when he eventually comments on this post, sometime in 2047.
And how about that Bob Dole? What is he, a pineapple?
Maybe we should dip into the imao rainy day fund and get him a faster internet connection.
Not unlike Billy Pilgrim, Ted has become unstuck in time. Farewell, hello. Farewell, hello.
He seems to be harmless enough…I say let him post. Besides, I like seeing some of these old posts again and wonder what happened to some of the regulars who used to post here.
Now that is a great take on the matter. Why is it we haven’t made you contributor? Are we really just that lazy? Heck, we let that guy from Hazzard County post the other day. We gotta work on that.
