Fixicians? Fixties? The fixties were a fun decade (1955 to 1965?)

The ultimate political insiders are called FIXERS.

WRONG AGAIN: "PAIDOS" NOT PAEDOS.

optymyst: it's called 'kidding'... as in ' i was just'

Fixers

(Although anything's better than 'dittoheads'.)

If you really want to accurately describe the bloggers that come here all too often, you should just call them moonbats. that seems to be your audience for the most part, especially on the days you get a link on the front page. Or you could make it into a singing group fronted by - you know who:

drindl and the jackels

or even:

Spectator and the clueless poltroons

any word with 'phile' as a suffix conjures up ideas of unsavory pastimes

That should read:

welcome to the dark and frightening world of drindl, where everything is sinister.

That is simply untrue. I love books. I have a large personal library. That makes me a bibliophile. If my hearing were better, I might be enough of a music lover to be an audiophile as well.

Your association of that suffix with pedophiles only is a personal foible. Expand your horizons.

Fix fans should be called FIXTURES.

Skyline Chili? Nothing special. Snoresville for anyone who's spent time in the Southwest.

Graeters? Definitely special; they are located all over the State, BTW, not just in Cincy. Try the Black Raspberry Chip to discover what you've been missing.

Can't speak for Lola's; Cleveland has a lot of Eastern European ethnic food.

"doesn't 'pedophile' sound like it should mean a lover of feet?

=============

Pedantic moment:

You would then be mixing Latin and Greek.

"-phile" being a Greek suffix meaning "lover of" or "one fond of."

So a pedophile (orig paedophile) is really a "lover" of children ..."ped" short for "paed" coming from the Greek "paedos," meaning pre-pubescent child.

Whereas "ped" is a Latin root for "foot." But you'd need a Latin suffix.

How does audio taste?

OK, you got me....but if you are going to correct my grammar, please spell "can't" correctly.

"Can't" not "cain't"

:)

"Why not Fixers?"

Ah! The joy of simplicity.

Why not Fixers?

"audiophiles & bibliophiles everywhere are scratching their heads."

not to mention the philatelists. That's a word that might get phonetically misinterpreted.

"no thank you, i'm no pervert."

Yes -- I think you're confusing a fixophile with a fixophiliac. Subtle but very important difference...

How about Fix Nation?!?

And I was so close in both VA and WI -- I wish there was some honorable mention prize...like a Fix pen, or a Fix coffee mug, or something.

Fixsters.
Fixonians.
Fixocrats.
Fixicans.
Fixins.
Affixers.
Suffixers.
Cofixers.
Conflixers.
Enfixers.
Infixers.
Fixfans.

The Fixx was a great band.

"no thank you, i'm no pervert."

""I am member of the
Unity Church of Christ, Trinity United Church of Christ been there for 20
years. And although this is an improvement because you don't think I am
Muslim, which is the other... [laughter] You know so, slowly we are
progressing here. It is a very conventional African American Church. If you
go to, if you were there at the church you would be hearing gospel music and
people preaching about Jesus. It is a very conventional in that sense. It is
true that my Pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who will be retiring this month, is
somebody who on occasion can say controversial things. Most of them by the
way are controversial directed at the African American Community and calling
on them start reading books and turn off the tv set and engage in self help.
And he is very active in prison ministries and so forth. Its is also true
that he comes out of the 60s he is an older man. That is where he cut his
teeth. That he has historically been interested in the African roots of the
African American experience. He was very active in the South Africa
divestment movement and you will recall that there was a tension that arose
between the African American and the Jewish communities During that period
when we were dealing with apartheid in South Africa, because Israel and
South Africa had a relationship at that time. And that cause - that was a
source of tension. So there have been a couple of occasions where he made
comments with relation, rooted in that. Not necessary ones that I share. But
that is the context within which he has made those comments. He does not
have a close relationship with Louis Farrakhan. Louis Farrakhan is a
resident of Chicago and as a consequence he has been active in a range of
community activities, particularly around ex-offenders and dealing with
them. I have been a consistent, before I go any further, a consistent
denunciator of Louis Farrakhan, nobody challenges that. And what is true is
that, recently this is probably, I guess last year. An award was given to
Farrakhan for his work on behave of ex-offenders completely unrelated to his
controversial statements. And I believe that was a mistake and showed a lack
of sensitivity to Jewish community and I said so. But I have never heard an
anti-Semitic made inside of our church. I have never heard anything that
would suggest anti-Semitism on part of the Pastor. He is like an old uncle
who sometimes will say things that I don't agree with. And I suspect there
are some of the people in this room who have heard relatives say some things
that they don't agree with."

Barack Obama

Just trying to pass on. for the old folks who are looking for reasons to not to vote for the man, based on lies spin and discredit attepmts by the gop (It's what they do). Please think long and hard abou tthis country. Think about the future. Think about your children and grand children, old folks. Please don't do this

Chris, you can call Fix'es fans what you like.

Us trench warriors opinionating and keeping things lively are no fans. We are the DEMENTED COMMENTERS.

We are the UNMITIGATED, the COURT OF LAST APPEAL, the UNFORGETFUL, the up to date citizen journalist-editorializers.

We couldn't care more for our big thoughts. We are bombast incarnate and take no prisoners, us, the truth granade launchers.

No, we are no fans, we are demented.

And GRATEFUL that you allow our reckless shallow analysis be exposed for all its worth in your blog as if we knew anything.

Journalism is a great job, if you can get it.

fyi

"A statement by Rabbi Lerner and notes of Obama's remarks to Jewish leaders Feb. 24 2008 in Cleveland.

Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun Magazine, issued the following statement today (February 26, 2007):

"Presidential candidate Barack Obama has been very successful today in reassuring the bulk of American Jews that the innuendoes and overt attacks on his alleged hostility to or indifference to the well-being of Israel are false or that he has other commitments that might be deemed dangerous to Jews. Obama has shown himself to be a "spiritual progressive" supporting a "progressive Middle Path" that is both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine. While some Jews, particularly those affiliated with the Republican party or the neo-con-influence wing of the Democratic Party, and those who support the policies of the Likud Party in Israel, are likely to continue to critique Obama and spread rumors and distortions, the vast majority of American Jews are far more likely to consider him a friend of Israel just as they consider Hillary Clinton and John McCain to be, and hence are unlikely to have the issue of Israel-support be the one that decides for them how to vote in either the primaries or the general election of 2008."

"

Do not fear the fascists. The only power they have is the power WE, as americans give them. Do not give them your power due to fear or ignorance.

fixophiles?

no thank you, i'm no pervert.
