Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
RAZZ:The Occupation Begins!
While the rest of you slept, my revolutionary comrades and I occupied this post. The area, having recently been designated as the zone for autonomous zones by the Ricochet Zoning Board, is hereby declared to be the Ricochet Autonomous-Zone Zone, or RAZZ.
We, the communal leadership committee of RAZZ, issue here our demands and decrees. Henceforth and forthwith:
- The preferred means of communication will be through Monty Python sketches
- Drinking games shall be one shot each time:
- Jonah says:
- Best gas station sushi in Arkansas
- Papal ninja army
- Rob:
- Says “Swanning”
- Says “Squish”
- Interrupts James’ ad segues
- James:
- Unleashes a lightning-fast killer zinger
- Peter:
- Lies when he says, “One last question”
- A statue of Doc Jay shall be erected and immediately toppled
- Our November campaign slogan is: Our guy is awful, but their guys are much worse
- Jonah says:
We will whine and stamp our feet until these just demands are met or until we get bored with the whole thing and go back to playing video games in our parents’ basements.

For Jonah, you left off Sasquatch porn.
You know, I came in here planning on taking over as the RAZZ warlord, but seeing your list of demands, I find that this is just a new PIT. Thus I offer:
That one alone will keep us drunk.
As an Awful American, I endorse this message.
If I drank a beer every time Jonah giggled, I’d weigh 500 pounds . . .
That’s a cackle, not a giggle. Most annoying laugh in podcasting.
At least you didn’t pick ‘Trump is a poopyhead’ for Jonah. We’d have blood alcohol poisoning.
“Bigfoot Erotica”.
Geez.
Point of order. Rob doesn’t say “swanning”. Other people say “swanning” about Rob.
And as we all know, erotica is when you use a feather, porn is when you use the whole chicken.
I dunno. Still sounds like a little girl giggle to me . . .
Well, there goes my appetite for dinner tonight. Instead of Peking Duck, it’s Poking Duck . . .
I…I was so terribly wrong! <sob>
You are sentenced to the comfy chair.
RAZZ’s official slogan is the short raspberry.
“Kinky” is when you use the whole chicken.
Do you guys even listen to the podcasts?
Take a second drink if the content of said interruption consists of fawning over how awesome the segue was.
You’re clearly a disruptive element in the commune. And you’re undemocratic. My errors have the same validity as your facts.
There are podcasts? Who knew?
Because we, the occupiers of RAZZ, are engaged in drinking games in the name of world peace and for the good of all mankind, we demand that the greater Ricochetti nation be taxed so that we may be supplied with pizza and beer.
I haven’t laughed that hard all week. Thank you!
Wait, does CHAZ promise to disband once their demands are met? That seems stupid. I thought the whole point was to prove that government is unnecessary.
By extension, the only demands for RAZZ should be the elimination of the CoC and the abolition of the membership fee.
Am I overthinking things again?
I think the difference is that the RAZZ is just as authoritarian as regular Ricochet, but with a different set of rules. Just like political anarchism.
The PIT, by contrast, is a libertarian paradise. We follow the letter of the law while subverting it in spirit.
;-)
a) Isn’t that both sides’ campaign slogans?
b) Isn’t that the most honest campaign slogan for every election that has ever been in the entire history of representative government, and should therefore be mandatory for all political parties?
So, not so much “autonomous” but rather “supremacist”.
Of course.
You didn’t quote what you think you quoted.
a) Quoting with an iPhone is tricky.
b) I’ve had it up to here with your “rules”.
I think if we were to accept this as a premise, it’d save us a lot of time and we could get down to talking about policies. On the other hand, when that happens it’s all some variation on baby-killing, so I’m not sure.
Does CHAZ have demands?
