Back Talk: Comments Section Reader Revolt Soldiers On
With KC Confidential’s wide-open,, easier-to-use, new comments section coming next week…it’s time to unearth a few buried treasures from the arguably clumsy, current setup.
Take harley’s offer to Craig Glazer re his coverage of Chiefs football…
"Glazer….here’s the deal I’ll make. You don’t talk about things you know little about…
1.sports! 2. financial things! 3. politics. 4. radio and marketing. 5. business related items. And I wont discuss things you know much more about than I do…. 1. chasing pussy. 2. strippers and strip clubs. 3. comedy shops and comdians. 4. one night stands. 5. bars/nighclubs. 6. movies/books/porn stars. 7. Porn star parties. 8. Hot Maria. 9. Westport. 10. hearne/tony/curtis/. Thats a good deal!"
Glazer’s retort:
Back Talk: Mrs. Potato Head Fights Back, Glazer ‘Still a Dick,’ Wakeup Call for Black Barbie, Hearne/Fitz to be Entombed & More
"Isn’t Halloween a national day for sluts, like Maria, to slut it up? I agree with the op Maria, just show us your tits, you slut, you know you want to. Your words make no sense, so keep your mouth shut and your tits out." *** Huh? on Maria Juarez’ column about slutty Halloween costumes.
"The only reason I post inane crap is so that you fine people can maintain your sense of purpose in life: commenting on a blog about how the 19-year-old intern is a slut. Consider it a favor from me to you. I post shit. You shout into the dark about how shitty my shit is. Keep ‘em coming! It brightens my day." *** Maria.
*******
"Craig I wouldn’t want to do my life over, nope. I would do yours though, you crazy bastard." *** Rob Lane on Craig Glazer’s question, if you do it again – exactly as before – would you live your life over?
"Look at the big brain on Craig? Again. Someone thought you wanted to do yourself in! Not Craig Glazer, you love yourself way too much." *** Maureen.
"Glazer for all you know this is your second time around. Guess what? You are still a dick." *** KellysGuy

Back Talk: Let There be Blog, KC Star Strippers, Time Travel at KU, HC goes PI & Buzzards at Kelly’s
"Maybe we should all just sit at home and blog and blog and blog and blog and blog about how very stupid and lame everyone else is." *** Bert Lahr. On Tony’s caustic sendup to last weekend’s Kansas City Marathon.
"The only dating the KU football team is going to be doing is carbon dating. They set the football program back so far Steven Hawking is citing the loss as proof that time travel is possible." *** smartman. On the KU football team’s lopsided loss to K-State and its dismal season-to-date record.
******
"Hearne….maybe try one of those crime scene investigator courses that are on tv…you’d mkae one hell of a detective…since a journalist you are not!" *** jojo. On the reporting that 24-year old Brian Euston’s death in Westport could be the result of an accident rather than a "beating" as implied by an eroneous Kansas City Star headline.
*******
“I was thinking about another name. I had Casey (because of Kansas City) and I was thinking Star because of the paper. But I thought that sounds like a real stripper’s name.” *** A 1977 Kansas City Times interview by former Star publisher Art Brisbane with Alice Cooper dancer Debora Gene Hallak on her selecting the stage name Casey Cole.
"Yeah, I definitely remember this — less about the girl I interviewed and more about the bizarre scene with Alice Cooper. Skinny, unhealthy looking guy who, I remember, sang ‘I’m 18’ but looked 60." *** Art Brisbane circa his 2010 flashback.
Back Talk: Go Ask Alice, Gallagher’s Crotch, Kietzman’s Wallet, Fair Weather Football Fans, Contraband Fruit & Welcome to Vaginaville
Not everyone has time to go back and catch every comment. Let alone the gems that show up in a category they may not regularly read… To that end, we present to you, a collection of our greatest hits: ***
"I had always heard what I thought was (sub)urban legend, that Alice Cooper attended a party at that house on the cliff overlooking I-70. Of course, those stories also included satanic ritual, drinking of blood, etc. Nice to know the real story. I had thought of that recently as AC was playing so near that location." *** hernia christopherson
******* *******
"You can learn a lot about a person by how he chooses, who he roots for. If you can change your allegiance from one rival school to another, you’re a piece of shit, plain and simple." *** Dr. Beeper
*******
"Weston’s AppleFest is a joke. Went there a couple years ago wanting to buy a fresh apple fritter and some fresh local apple cider. No fritter stands to be found, and the only apple cider was from Louisburg, KS. I’ll be Goddamned if I buy cider made over in Kansas at a town in Missouri’s apple festival. Needless to say, I haven’t been back since. Fuck Weston MO, and fuck their shitty AppleFest." *** Eric
