In honor of Jeff Goldstein’s retirement from blogging, all cocks atProtein Wisdom have been lowered to half-mast; the surviving co-bloggers, feeling bereft and rudderless, offer their own bittersweet tribute by linking to a YouTube video of the hippie anthem One Tin Soldier (Rides Away). Is this kitsch? Irony? The Fourth Stage of grief? Alas, there is no one left behind to perform the necessary semiotic analysis.

Huh, I beat the rush! They all swarmed Roger Ailes in response to a post there marking the occasion. I’ve never seen such a pack of hypersensitive douchebags. They’ve just gotta shout down any hecklers, all while bragging about how many morons pretend to read Jeff’s obfuscatory prose in the hopes that someone will just give up and conclude that it must be meaningful, what with all the big words.
They didn’t really link to “One Tin Soldier”, did they? Do they not know the lyrics?
Aw, Maryc, you’re making me feel old. One Tin Soldier was the theme to Billy Jack, dude, the story of a reluctant asskicker who was forced to give up his natural hardwon gentle serenity and kick ass kickassingly and in a kickass way.
Then he left, because it was harshing his mellow.
Pretty much The Unforgiven minus Shane, only with hippies.

Oh, dear. I guess they must have missed this, from the front page of billyjack.com

Looking through over 200 comments, I didn’t find a link to “One Tin Soldier”, but I did find links to the following:
“Smile a Little Smile For Me”-The Flying Dutchman
“Nobody Does It Better”-Carly Simon
“One Night In Bangkok”-Murray Head
“Hello I Must Be Going!”-Groucho Marx
“Here I Go Again”-Whitesnake (?)
Either it was deleted, or I must scrolled past it. The comments are numbered-can you tell me which one it was?

Don’t feel old, Julia. I remember it as the theme to Billy Jack, too. (I even remember the first Bill Jack movie–Born Losers)
Which still leads me to ask: Are they really that clueless about the stuff they link to, or are they just retarded?

Bill, the link to One Tin Soldier is in this PW post, which followed Cocky McSlapsalot’s Farewell Address to the rubes. Let the healing begin.
Nice readers you got, Scott. You must attract class.
Excuse me, scott. But I think you sent this person over. Hell, it may even have been you:
“Armadillos, vacuity, endless self-referential garble.
“Jeff–from the bottom of my heart–fuck you and your hydroencephalic prick kid. No one cares about you and/or your little pink dick.
“There, I just said it! What needed to be said!”
The post is signed “Lamb Cannon.” Any idea who that might be?
I don’t much mind people taking shots at me; but my kid should be off limits.
If it was you, Scott, please have the courage to say so. We can go from there.

LOL…More Jeff Goldstein stalkers. I wonder if Jeff would take any time out of his day to note if you did anything? Probably not. You concede that you’re a fucking loser and coward. Thanks. Now back to your miserable pathetic existence with you.

No, I can’t and wouldn’t care to take credit for that comment, which I think was entirely out of bounds. If I have a remark to make, I do so here on the blog, and sign my name to it.

Wow. Dan “the ex-girlfriends can run, but just let them try to hide from all the folks who know where to find the drunken whores now” Collins thinks you post inappropriate stuff.
That’s, like, a badass room to be playing.

You people are disgusting. Mr. Jeff Goldstien probably has too much to do to slap anyone in the face with his secret parts these days and besides, it starts to hurt if you do that for more than about 25 minutes at a time, even if your just practicing on on melons and other fruit (warning: NEVER try this on a coconut!!), so I can understand why he would want to retire. Besides, you make it sound like he was slapping baby seals to death, which i don’t think is even possible (though you might irritate them some), so grow up and let the man recooperate with a hot water bottle and restoritive ointments and creams (BTW, those have to be rubbed in really well, if you let them just sit on the skin, they can cause a rash).
LEAVE JEFF ALONE!
LEAVE JEFF ALONE!

…says a fanboy who just has to show up anywhere someone makes fun of his hero to let them know that he has way better things to do with his time than notice them. Yeah, you twats really seem like you’re above it all, no doubt.

Okay, I’m late to the party, but — “Protein Wisdom”? Really? An award-winning author with a fine arts degree came up with that? (Or do I mean “The guy who came up with that got a fine arts degree and won a writing award”?)

They’re from Indianapolis. It’s a small town.
He’s accusing me in comment #369 of having written something nasty in comment #365, not letting the utter lack of empirical evidence stand in his way (I don’t read his blog and didn’t write the comment), and now he’s got his food taster Danseconding the threat and his cult following trying to dig up facts about me in comments. Class act.
so they can work things out mano a mano
They never have figured out that “mano a mano” isn’t Spanish for “man to man”, have they? (the literal translation is “hand to hand”)
Of course, I wouldn’t risk my hand on something as hard as Pasty’s head. A brick would be a much better choice.
