poor old yertle!
holy shit, things have changed with blogger. i don't see how the google boys can make more money out of this new layout but they're way smarter than me so there must be money in it somewhere.
back to yertle. this is totally unbelievable to me but it's true!
yertle the turtle has been banned from a british columbia classroom because it's too political. read it for yourself:
Dr. Seuss’s ‘Yertle the Turtle’ deemed too political for B.C. classroom
like most governments around the world the british columbia government is battling with it's employees due to large deficits. both sides are in a public relations battle to gain support for their position. of course the government holds all cards, once they tire of the battle with unions they'll just legislate the teachers into submission but banning yertle the turtle from classrooms has brought this dispute to new levels of insanity. after this i'm squarely behind the teachers.
would rich santorum or newt gingrich ban yertle the turtle?
oh yeah, i ordered 3 more silver turtles and 2 silver pandas a few days ago. i'll probably order a few more turtles after this.
i love you sons of bitches.
screw this bullshit! i can't figure out this new blogger nonsense.
hasta la vista you fucking google assholes!

Take heart, Canadians, I have little doubt that we in the USA are not far from being detained as Enemy Combatants should we quote Pogo, for uttering the treasonous quip: "We have met the enemy and he is us."
Yes, the Yertle story is definitely a political satire against the Pharaohs. Do you have an aspiring Pharaoh in Canada?
The dashboard sure has changed but mucking around in it for a while gets you on track to understanding it, the one thing they haven't given us yet is the ability to block bitches that harass constantly because they think that gives them power, when they do that I'll love them.
I don't like Wordpress either but if they allowed me to block I would move over there.
This is the third blog I've visited this morning that was bitching about Blogger, they may have hurt themselves but maybe they don't give a shit about us that don't have ads on our sites.
At your Blogger dashboard up near the right corner is a little gear icon, hover your mouse over it and in the popup menu you can select Old Interface.
I mean click on the gear icon.
robert - yes, our overlords are getting very sensitive. orwell was a few decades early with 1984. maybe 2024.
gb - i think yertle represents hitler. yes we do have an aspiring pharaoh, his name is stephen harper.
bill - thanks for the tip but i'm still a little lost. i need a nubile young lady to show me the ropes.
you can change it back to the old way..I couldn't get video to play
you can change it back to the old way.
What does that bobblehead think I just said above? I swear, she has ADD.
But sooner or later they'll take the old interface away, damn geeks. I'm mucking around with the new interface to get comfy with it.
yeah, once i finish my little tantrum it'll probably be a better format.
Bobblehead? ADD?
Another fine example of BBC's "friendly socializing"!
You can change back to the old interface??!! Cool, I hate this new one. It's like they say
"Everyone seems to like it this way, let's change it!"
Kind of like "Everyone seems to like Yertle, let's ban it!"
Yellowdog is a babbling fool, but posts good graphics. And THE BITCH is no expert on socializing considering the number of bloggers that she has harassed over the years and the enemies she has made. The stupid bitch.
Thanks BBC, it worked.
Ha!! The bitch doesn't even have her profile viewable now, she's worse than a dog laying in the gutter licking her pussy.
Texahoma, you're welcome, but don't expect it to last, I suggest you muck around with the new dashboard to get comfy with it.
I'd suggest that the bitch sees a shrink but they are all fucking idiots and she already thinks she is one.
LOL
BBC,
Name them...?
And when you can't, go back and read your own comment thread and see how it might connect to what I wrote.
Funny...you calling someone else a babbling fool.
I don't already think I'm a fucking idiot.
LOL.
Learn how to write, grouchy bumpkin.
Babble, babble, babble, you just never give up Leslie. And no one gives a fuck about you, what part of that don't you get?
Where's Ruby? She was the most Zen presence here. Real spirit. None of this crap the crusty ole narcissist spouts.
Still wth the pack mentality, eh?
You are so very needy.
Where's Ruby?
Ruby has no interest in tireless bitches.
Still waiting on the mythical list of enemy bloggers. You know, whenever you're not busy working on your monkey manifesto.
You know where to find me.
You are so very needy.
Still being a fucking idiot, I pay for what I need, including sex so I can avoid the Leslie's.
I'm sorry. Did you just speak for a dog?
Ha
Ha
Ha
Ha.
Really?
What you NEED is acceptance and validation. Good luck with that.
I'm going off line now but the babbling brook of cocksucking bullshit can carry on here all night long if she likes, it's not like I give a fuck.
ruby's snoring on the sofa.
I accept BBC, but I don't know if I can validate him... not unless he gets that hernia fixed.
Not sure why he's picking on YDG, as she is a gentle soul though...
Ruby has the right idea.
I don't know how she does it but I did not leave some of these comments here.
Congratulations on stooping to a new low. They all link to your blog. Only you could've left them.
Crazypants.
Tim Thomas played a great game last night as did Segin, but you can't win a hockey game with just two players.
It's over. The Broonz didn't deserve to win.
Anyway, congratulation Canada on being the most educated country in the world, followed by Israel and Japan!
Imagine how much more brilliant your population would be if Yertle the Turtle were not banned.
[The USofA is number one, too--we have more incarcerated people than anyone else in the world!]
All jokes aside, if your brain is that addled, it's time to stop driving and perhaps turn in your gun collection to the local police station.
bill - leslie gave ruby zen so now they've bonded. the sisterhood is very strong.
shaw - i really wanted to see the broonz meet the flyers. as we canuck fans say every spring, wait till next year! i didn't know we were the most educated people in the world, it must be all those chinamen invading us.
thims - maybe i have my head up my arse but acceptance seems to be the last thing bbc is interested in. he seems to go out of his way to piss people off.
That's his problem... just accept it and life gets easier.
Called out for lying about not leaving all the comments here, and still hasn't offered up this list of bloggers I supposedly harass, and now he's mysteriously MIA. Typical move from a bigmouth coward.
Accept it all you want, Thimscool. I reserve the right to call bullshit on a demented asshole bigot misogynist piece of garbage human being who leaves his ugly public imprint everywhere.
Fight the power!
WTF?!?! Yertle the Turtle being banned. I swear we have peaked as a species when it comes to intelligence and now all the ass hats in charge are taking us back to the dark ages. I am still trying to figure out the new Google layout too. Good luck.
All of Dr. Seuss should be banned.
It promulgates hopelessly Librul agitprop into the vacant minds of Westerners.
Dearest Shaw Kenawe,
That study which suggest Canadians are educated is flawed. They're as unlettered and innumerate as the Yankee - they just have a tad more knowledge 'bout things outside the continental USA.
Leslie said,
".....I reserve the right to call bullshit on a demented asshole bigot misogynist piece of garbage human being who leaves his ugly public imprint everywhere....."
Can one actually reserve a right like that?
Leslie said,
".....None of this crap the crusty ole narcissist spouts......"
For every good Narcissist there is an able and willing Enabler. Who would be his? I fear folks might think it is you.
Concerning this 'crap' to which you refer, is it not what one would expect from folks who are unable, or unwilling, to unhitch the jet-engines of their egos from the ox-carts of their intellect?
Or vice versa?
You tell me, Echo.
Which question am I to answer?
Or conversely, if you so desire, to which should I reply?
The one about Echo being in love with the sound of her own voice.
Oh wait. You already did.
Que?
This is a pixellational environment - there is no sound. Pixillations are read.
Ugh.
Really?!
You disappoint me. Perhaps you're distracted by the sound of buzzing planes overhead...?
And do your kamikaze research before attempting to correct me again.
Warren Zevon thanks you in advance.
I mean John Stewart.
Same difference.
".....You disappoint me....."
I know.
I'm an excitable girl. What can I say?
John Stewart?
Or
Jon Stewart?
Or perhaps that Year of the Bat guy, Al?
Zevon was funnier.
things are picking up.
leslie and aquarians left my 2 favorite comments.
"who gives a shit" in response to my premature eulogy for bbc.
"Would a hooker be 'extorting' money from a 'John' when he/she asks to be remunerated for being fracked?" tying shale gas fracking with hookers.
Sheesh Billy, yins a patronising cunt ain't ya?
I thought that in the Columbia that is British they spell favourite with the added 'U'.
No wonder we Mongoloids are taking over there.
Query?
What is 'shale gas fracking'?
i retract my compliment on your cleverness if you don't know what shale gas fracking is.
i find that extra u to be nothing more than excess baggage.
Thank you. I generally take umbrage with compliments.
Excess baggage?
Fi sir!
We're dealing with the Queen's English here!
Will you acquiesce to the incessantly creeping juggernaut of Yankee cultural hegemony out of concern for excess lexical baggage? This handy comments facility is not Air Canada ya know! You won't be charged for it!
In Days of yore,
From Britain's shore
Wolfe the dauntless hero came
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave,
Our boast, our pride
And joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
The basilectal joual speaking cunts from La Belle Province really don't like that verse.
Nor do the Yankees!
Nor do I actually. The Brits are a vile species - almost as bad as the Dutch, those Banda Island Butchers.
And I don't like Suu Kyi or Mother Teresa much either.
And don't get me started on that Non U, Muslim fracking whore, Diana Spencer.
If you should ever find yourself at the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar, look for the internment stone for Suu Kyi's mother. Three tombs to the left you'll find my grandmother.
Leave a bidi and a few kyat - you'll feel good about yourself later.
peter wiggin is the hegemon in my world.
My favorite comment is BBC's latest post. The man whose vile little blog is devoted to advocating the extermination of all Muslims, Christians, and independent women is calling the Blogger police on ME??
I'm allowed to tell you you're a bigot and an asshole, BBC. Your blog only proves me right.
I would actually love to get kicked off Blogger, so if you really think you can make that happen, bring it. Just be prepared for very lonely days when it's you they ban.
And Pikachu is the pokémon in mine.
Leslie said,
".....I'm allowed to tell you you're a bigot and an asshole, BBC....."
Really?
Who, or what, grants such licence?
Click on me!
You'll have to go through a warning page!
Now THAT is an honour bestowed upon me by countless toadies o'er the years.
Leslie also said,
".....[BBC's] blog is devoted to advocating the extermination of all Muslims, Christians, and independent women....."
Although I too would advocate for the extermination all Muslims and Christians, I would also include the other two Peoples of the Book - Jews and those pesky Zoroastrians - I wonder why you felt it necessary to modify the word 'women' with the adjective 'independent'?
Does this not imply there are women who are not independent? Men may be the generals in the War on Women, but women themselves are the foot-soldiers.
BBC likes his women in the kitchen, down on their knees, spoon-feeding him cornbread while he gums their boobies and calls them monkey-bitches. If you have a credit card or own a home, you're an "empire-builder".
Clearly the latter would not apply to you.
Perhaps you should change your name to Aquarians Love to Eat Shit.
PS
When you have a warning page IRL, then I'll be impressed.
I am an empire builder!
It's just an Empire of the Mind.
Property is theft doncha know?
Aquarians Love To Eat Shit?
Being a coprophile, I would relish the opportunity to carry such a cacophemism. After all, I can think of no better petard by which to hoist me.
Query?
Assuming you are not implying a distinctio where the phrase 'eat shit' is not a specific command to actually ingest excrement, may I enquire after how this shit, which I am not loathe to masticate, might score on the Bristol Chart? I mean, if it is going to score 6 or 7, well, I'll have no trouble at all, but if it scores 1 or 2, jaysus, could I follow it with a beverage?
How do I get a warning page IRL?
What's an IRL?
This is a sign of the end times.. i think in the bible it mentions this. not sure where.
or was it the mayans?
No it was disc world that big turtle!
Ban disc world books a'tuin is too political!
I'm not surprised you haven't a clue as to the meaning of IRL. Not surprised in the least.
IN
REAL
LIFE
!!!!
charlie - you might be onto something. yertle might be assembling and army somewhere in the east and getting ready to march on israel.
aquarians - given the amount of drugs floating around afghanistan i'm guessing the military boys did more than piss on the muslims.
do aquarians love to fuck muslims or cuddle them.
leslie - who gives a shit.
An In Vivo warning Page?
Do Parole Conditions count?
My English tutor once operated a drive-through In Vivo Fertilisation Clinic for the punters.
"Pregnancy or your money cheerfully refunded" was his catchy marketing tag line.
Paid for his therapy sessions it did.
Mr. Pilgrim intoned,
".....do aquarians love to fuck muslims or cuddle them....."
One always follows the other.
Others, say Scorpios, would coddle their caudal though.
There is no proof the recipients of the Marine bladder largesse were part of the Ummah of Islam.
an english tutor?
if i had an english tutor in my youth i'd be able to place u's in their proper place.
can you ask your tutor for an simple way to determine when to use whom and when to use who?
My English tutor requires payment for such things.
It is bad enough I have to 'love him long time' for my own linguistic needs, I'm not doing it for yours.
I'll see what I can do though.
I'll reply on Tuesday, May 1.
It's not hard to get too much of that genius's bullshit.
Go girl, go!!!
LMAO!
Oh bullshit.
Don't fuck with my granny!
Took me forever to see it/figure it out, but the 1960s were America's golden age; our last best chance to get it right, and we pissed it away on bullshit, fighting over the table scraps til 1998. In 2001, we handed the whole thing over to a Communist child-molester from Kennybunkport TX and since then gov't is nothing but a condom through which old-money, filthy-rich Khazars fuck US.
Jesus fucking wept.
We'll be doing same shortly.
I imagine his vitriolic rants have made the DHS list & he'll be indefinitely detained for a while before they realize straight-jackets and rubber wallpaper are more apropos.
Dude scares the fuck out of me and I'm fearless!
I think the new Google interface is being generally received like a turd in a punchbowl.
If YTT is "too political" it's a good thing Captain Kangaroo & Romper Room went nipples up: Right/Left wing extremists, dontcha know.
Quite the cat fight, ey Leo?
I am completely against banning poor Yertle! I guess Gulliver's Travels is next on the list with Alice in Wonderland close on its heels... if history is going to repeat itself.
How are we supposed to teach children to think if we don't allow them to see? Sheesh!
Sorry I am so late. I've been gone for a bit. But I am back now.
aquarians - i'll keep tuesday open.
galt - smoking cigarettes and watching captain kangaroo.....
silly - the phrase that caused the whole kerfuffle was "But down here at the bottom we, too, should have rights." maybe we need a bill of rights up here.
You use who when you are referring to the subject of a clause and whom when you are referring to the object of a clause.
When you're trying to decide whether to use who or whom, ask yourself if the answer to the question would be he or him.
For example, if you're trying to ask, "Who (or whom) do you fuck?" The answer would be "I fuck him." Him ends with an m, so you know to use whom. Conversely if you are trying to ask, "Who (or whom) drained my scrotum?" the answer would be "He drained my scrotum." There's no m, so you know to use who.

".....It's not hard to get too much of that genius's bullshit....."
I would prefer:
"It's not too hard to get too much of that fucking genius's sterculian rhetoric."
I am the genius to 'XXXX' you refer? Yes?
'XXXX'?
Who or whom?
I read the article you link. You know, Seuss did write very political books, but so what? Rights for those who are not rich is hardly a controversial topic. That's crazy that it got banned.
Secret Agent Woman said,
".....Rights for those who are not rich is hardly a controversial topic......"
I suspect the Occupy Movement and the '99' might take umbrage with that.
silly rabbit said,
".....I guess Gulliver's Travels is next on the list with Alice in Wonderland close on its heels... if history is going to repeat itself......"
The former should most certainly be banned. In it Swift gave us the term 'yahoo' - and look what became of that? Several Chinese dissidents are now in jail because of Yahoo.
The latter was written by the venal, but not venial, paedophile Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - the first person to photograph young girls in sexually suggestive poses.
It must follow in the kiln!
No, I mean BBC.
Dude was on my comment threads for a while & I had to ask him politely to move along for breaking my only real rule: Don't suck!
Motherfucker kept talking about bombing buildings & blowing up people...Joking or not, that shit is NOT cool, man! Then he went Postal on The Almighty - ABSOLUTE freaking no-no in my house.
aquarian - i'm familiar with the he/him rule. i was looking for something more idiot proof but i do thank you for the help. you ought to go on jeopardy with all that knowledge.
secret - i'm an unabashed dr seuss fan so i'm a little biased in all this.
galt - gosh, going postal on the almighty is alright my house. just don't mention turtle soup.
".....you ought to go on jeopardy with all that knowledge......"
This reminds me of the time two very recent high school grads (both 18 years old and off to University), mentioned that I should 'go on Jeopardy' because I knew Ireland was an island. Apparently, this was news to them.
I didn't have the heart to tell them there are actually two Irelands: Northern Ireland and Real Ireland.
The sad thing? These two vote in Local, Provincial and Federal elections now.
Still, not as bad as the woman who asked me if Greece was in Sweden(1) or the man who insisted that the Chinese are building a base on the moon(2).
Again, these folks VOTE!
(1) I said yes. And souvlaki was just Swedish meatballs on a skewer.
(2) I confirmed his belief and added that they were also installing huge nuclear missiles there that were aimed directly at the Vatican. As a Catholic, he spent the next week fretting and praying for the Papistry.
Galt-in-Da-Box said,
".....Then he went Postal on The Almighty....."
Is it possible to go 'Postal'(1) on the almighty in a manner that does not suck and, therefore, the resultant quip will abide your only 'real' rule of: "Don't Suck"?
(1) You Anglos do so love your idioms don't you - I had to research what this meant.
Billy/Leo
I cracked the code on how to make your blog yours again & get rid of the new dashboard (which works fine if U have Android as Ur OS, but ain't for shit w/ us Windows/Apple ppl):
Hit asterisk button center right.
Select Old Dashboard from the drop-down menu.
Proceed as usual.
ALTC
That's a new one on me...Heard ppl from India refer to Yanks as Cotinentals before, but Anglos is usually reserved strictly for them weirdos from LA.
Don't start taking me seriously now, nobody else does ...thank The Almighty!
As far as I am concerned, 'Anglos' are any people who are compelled to inhabit the 'Anglosphere'. The Anglosphere being a disparate collection of those unfortunates who found themselves forced to bear the burden of having to communicate in English because it is their Mother Tongue and they know know other.
I did not consider your prose to be too seriously rendered. Accordingly, my query was ironic in response - pixellated with tongue placed firmly in cheek it was.
"know know"?
Oh dear - a fecking homophonic no-no.
I'm so ashamed.
aquarians - yup, i'm an anglo in canada even though there's no anglo saxon blood in me, scandinavian.
if i was to become a protestant i could be a wasp. fuck it, i'll stay a viking and maybe apprentice under loki.
galt - bbc gave me some tips on this new blogger nonsense. i might absorb some of the information and i might not. luckily i have bigger fish to fry than blogger.
