Around these parts, a weird language known as “leet speak” is spoken, with “pwned” being one of the most common. Certain Grodsters like to yell it a lot at every opportunity. According to one of the entries on Urban Dictionary, it means:

A corruption of the word “Owned.” This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled “owned.” When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so “has been owned.”

Instead, it said, so-and-so “has been pwned.”

It basically means “to own” or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s have a look at Fred Phelps, the nasty so-called “Christian” pastor of Westboro Baptist Church in Wichita, Kansas. You know the guy, the one whose “church” and its members cause howls of outrage — and rightly so — for his and his idiot family’s anti-gay tirades, as well as picketing of the funerals of dead soldiers and victims of gay hate crimes, and thanking God for the 9-11 terrorist attacks because it was God’s way of telling America they are doomed. Or something. Because of their mephitic, hateful anti-gay message and condemnation of Catholics, Jews and even, bizarrely, Sweden, Phelps and his “church” has been classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League.

A truely hateful, revolting group led by an equally hateful, revolting bigot and non-Christian.

Thus, it was to my delight this morning when I started my working day by looking at favourite websites instead of working, that I saw the nefarious Fred Phelps get totally PWNED!!!

Good one!
I’d like to see He’s Dead, before one of them shoots the fucker in the balls so he dies an agonising death.

The dude on the left of the photo looks like he’s got a massive cucumber shoved down his left trouser leg.

Is that the sort of thing you normally notice, Ed?
The Editor (Tuesday 10 June 2008, 1:55 pm) #

I have a keen eye for trouser cucumbers.

“Would of”?

The Editor (Tuesday 10 June 2008, 4:19 pm) #

I’d put up with “would of” in Philip’s comments if only I could work out what they mean.
Damian (Tuesday 10 June 2008, 4:28 pm) #

Same!?
John Surname (Tuesday 10 June 2008, 9:58 pm) #

No kidding?!
Bron (Tuesday 10 June 2008, 10:10 pm) #

I think that should be “No kidding!?”, shouldn’t it!?

Too many spaces,in the right places!?

I used to get annoyed with Philip’s nonsensical comments. Now I’m wondering if he’s some kind of performance poet, unappreciated in his own time.

Have you seen Philip’s “Runtasnoraus” comments over at Lefty’s blog, EC? Brilliant:

RuntzzzzzruntzzzzzRuntzzzzRUNTZZZZZ

I saw that. I laughed and loved him even more.
Ant Rogenous (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 12:18 pm) #

I picture him sitting at his computer, rubbing his hands together gleefully and thinking: “THIS is gonna blow their minds.”
The Editor (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 12:25 pm) #

Sweet Jesus. I’ve been giggling for sixty solid seconds at that piece of Travers gold. The kids are looking at me funny.
Bron (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 12:26 pm) #

Whatever he’s doing, it’s still fun trying to decipher his ramblings. It’s like doing the Sudoku in the mX rag on the train home.
Damian (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 2:28 pm) #

WTF is that runtzzz thing? That’s over the top. I’m exhausted.
Krypto (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 2:57 pm) #

hey did you see that jury was dismissed because they were all doing sudoku puzzles when they were supposed to be paying attention to the trial?
How funny was that?
Bron (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 3:08 pm) #

Saw that. Don’t blame them. Sudoku is sooooo much fun! Especially the “Easy” level.
keri (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 3:23 pm) #

Sudoko is straight from the devil. It’s a crossword for people without imagination.
Bron (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 3:34 pm) #

Well, I have no imagination, that much is obvious. I can’t even do cyber sex properly because I lack the imagination.

Sudoku rulz. So there. (See, lack of imagination, I can’t even retort imaginatively enough)
keri (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 3:36 pm) #

Can’t do cyber sex? Firstly, why would you want to? and Secondly, how hard is it to describe sex?
Bron (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 3:45 pm) #

Firstly, because… um, sorry, can’t think of anything. Have no imagination.

Secondly, I’d describe sex as… um, sorry, can’t think of anything. Have no imagination.

turn my back for five minuites and the tone goes to hell.
keri (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 3:57 pm) #

For once, I didn’t start it, Krypto.
Bron (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 4:02 pm) #

YES SHE DID!
Krypto (Wednesday 11 June 2008, 4:50 pm) #

I don’t get it, what am I missing here?

Scroll up to comment 19 and click on Ant’s link, Krypto.

Oh. I didn’t think it took that long, though.

That’s what you get for sleeping with Surname.
The Editor (Thursday 12 June 2008, 7:23 am) #

You mean there’s more after the second in-and-out?
keri (Thursday 12 June 2008, 7:58 am) #

Is there something you’re not telling us, Bron?

It seems not. Hardly worth taking your clothes off for (not that he does).
