There are two big ones I am having trouble with:
'hoolies' which could be some kind of acronym or something, or just mean something along the lines of any of the things that sound like it here:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/browse.php?character=H&skip=6138
'blackberries' seems to be some kind of expensive lighting equipment? but I am not really sure...
-
Hoolie just means hooligan - it's one of his down-nasty peeps.
-
I'm with Dan. I took hoolie to mean booze. Perhaps it's derived from Albert K. Hool, the inventor of malt liquor.
-
Hoolies = hooligans.
Like jough sez; I registered just to reply, to make a contribtion after months of lurking, and somebody beats me to it. Drag.
-
On further reading, it does seem "hoolies" (alternately, "H.O.O.L.I.E.S.") refers to individual servings of ethanol.
Hooligans are often ethanol users, perhaps that is the connection. Like Cockney rhyming slang, but not.
-
I kind of ignore LN. I didn't like Lyle's blog at first because it was so chopped up and ugly but Lyle is like Umberto Eco compared to LN. But then who would that make Mr. Bear? I've cliched myself into a corner.
-
In hoolie matters, it's all in the context. How can it mean "hooligan" in the ways LN uses it? Hoolie is beer, to be hooleyed is to be drunk.
-
Whatever the origin of the word, his use of it makes me cringe.
-
I'm still trying to cope with "Tha' Dribbla!"
What weirds me out is the use of "billet," which I think is a real word but cannot be sure about, and his continual improvisation of new and strange slangy signoffs.
-
Isn't that French for "ticket"?
-
I'm convinced that he's purposely making shit up just to make us feel old and out of touch. Like that one Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin invents the phrase "I'm phasing."
-

yes.
also, now I can read some of this blog. substituting beer for hooleys works about 75 percent of the time, allowing me to get something like a story out of most of these posts. man lil nephew is such a teenager. He makes me feel like an old man.
-
As an actual teenager, I've got no problem reading his posts. It's like reading "A Clockwork Orange."
-
As a French-speaking, Burgess-reading teenager, I find it not so difficult either.
-
Don't take it so seriously and it comes to you. The first poster had a problem with a term that was meant literally, I think..I assumed he meant blackberry wireless device...free your mind! Your ass will follow.
-
i'm gonna stick my arm in on the side of hoolies = drink, not that it matters.
goth phase: well and truly ended.
-
I must mention (again) that I am bothered by the fact that Little Nephew writes in ebonics even though he has supposedly converted to being a goth.
-
I don't think he writes in ebonics. Not all ridiculous jive is black.
Edit: I hope I am not Pat.
-
Edit: I hope I am not Pat.
I'm pretty sure everybody, eventually, is Pat.

There is something plaintively sad about that.
I do not want ever to be the kind of person who would try to get a disabled man fired from Trader Joe's because his presence makes me uncomfortable.

Hahahahaa, oh, you will be.
YOU WILL BE.

So, will we also become the type of people who would try and make a citizens arrest against the mail man for delivering junk mail, or call the radio station just so we can say barbers should not make much money? I hope not, even though I sometimes wish I could get a hair cut for free. Also, I don't really think water ballons are all that funny, unless it's mailmen, barbers and disabled employees of Trader Joe's being pelted with them.

I dunno, this has made me realize a lot of my Patish tendencies. Like I think anybody who starts a sentence "as a christian" is automatically wrong. Probably because said people are usually writing letters about how Gary Larson should be burned at the stake, etc.

W.T.F. does "buy a dog, blog" mean?????
help me?

It is Secret American Slang for I am a teenager.
He's just trying to co-opt Ray's catchy yet meaningless signoffs (e.g. adios chochachichochachinos or whatever) but make it his own, in that small, retarded way teenagers go about doing things.
Which reminds me I've got like twenty-five boxes of notebooks to burn.

Dude, you can not convince me that L.N. knows a thing about Dokken.
