Front Pagers. Burners, to be precise. Regular Jalops and Oppostles are what you describe.

Very true... They're sarcastic, tongue in cheek and not taking themselves seriously when talking of other people, and that's about it :p

What's an Oppostle?

For Sweden > The Daily Hoon

It's a portmanteau

I don't see any regulars with no sense of humor. well no regular opponaults anyways

It means "nostalgic" in some extinct language

Because FP.

Hey, I have a burner account. I'm just too lazy to create a new one with my The FaceBooks account.

...and not to be confused with an Oppostlethwaite, which is an Oppo member who devotes themselves to emulation of the solemnity of many of the roles of deceased actor Pete Postlethwaite.

I think there's one of me.

I went through two burners before I lost their passwords and just gave up and made a Twitter account for Kinja. I was referring to the people that use burners once and aren't "regulars" so to speak.

CRider > The Daily Hoon

Another word for Opponaut.

Don't expect anybody on the FP to treat anything you say with nuance or open mindedness. They're too literal. That doesn't require any critical thinking.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I find Doug to be a bit condescending and smug, but I deal with it in the sane, mature manner and just generally avoid his pieces.

RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht > ttyymmnn

Kinja'd!!!

Also, per Get Fuzzy: "I'm not closed-minded. You're just wrong."

RacecaR > CRider

Yeah I kind of figured. I emailed my burner pw to myself. Then when I get logged out for whatever reason, I just pull it up, copy it, and paste it.

I just took a screen shot of mine.

I see it abit like stephen colbert

Wacko > For Sweden
07/08/2014 at 16:37

this is a portmanteau:

Kinja'd!!!

well in french it is

You could make a political statement out of that cartoon, but I'm going to leave it alone.

This is why I avoid the front page. I don't think I've read it in a few years now.

The Daily Hoon > For Sweden
07/08/2014 at 16:45

Like a cult?

Jagvar > Alfalfa
07/08/2014 at 16:45

Let's see: super-white guy, overly fond of shorts, rarely wears shoes, total smartass, talks incessantly about his car.

How can I find fault? Doug is my brother from another mother.

For Sweden > The Daily Hoon
07/08/2014 at 16:46

Cult is not a portmanteau

RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht > ttyymmnn
07/08/2014 at 16:49

Well, given how often I get pissed off by people on the left discussing things in black and white terms while having convinced themselves their position is nuanced , there are days I'll take having a few total abject simpletons on "my side"...

ttyymmnn > RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht
07/08/2014 at 16:50

"abject simpletons"

I like that phrase.

The Daily Hoon > For Sweden
07/08/2014 at 16:52

If it's a portmanteau of "Oppo" and "Apostle"; then what would an "Oppostle" be a follower of?

The Daily Hoon > CRider
07/08/2014 at 16:52

Astronauts of Oppositelock?
