About

Welcome to Gingerfightback.

The site was dreamt up by author, social entrepreneur and master puppeteer, Jim O’Sullivan and there is now a small happy band who write the articles, poems, prepare the images and answer the problems submitted to the site. The words and pictures are pure nonsense, ridiculous and totally far fetched.

You will either get it or you won’t – but hopefully you will find something to laugh at.

Must be you are all fans of South Park? I must live a very sheltered life, because I had never heard the term “ginger” used until I saw that show. Thank goodness it’s been elucidated, otherwise I would be wondering why your blog is focused on an innocuous spice.

I tried to start a Red Headed League at the high school I work at. We would meet for one meeting, get a picture taken for the year book, and disband until the next year. But red heads don’t like to get together. They’re afraid of each other.

  Good point well made – I have rummaged in the memory for some Kiplinesque quote about fear “Being only something or other in the innards of mortal men until we are exposed to lumpy custard” etc etc but unfortunately cannot think of anything. Perhaps this subject is ripe for a pithy quote?

Subscribed to your blog because there is so much here! Go ginger (thanks to my hair stylist) quite a lot. At one time for 5 years straight.
Pure jealousy.
Have colored my hair so many damn times that I never know what to write down when re-applying for a driver’s license…

Have also noticed that my ginger friends are the best and most fun, and that the ginger men I’ve dated have quite a large, er, track of land.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I have been stepping very gingerly around your blog since I am a once and future brunette and have found some very funny stuff as well as some lovely poetry. During one of the decades of my life, I lived in Berkeley, California (known affectionately as Berserkly) and a woman there told me, “All redheads are from Mars.” She was serious; I am curious: is it true?
- on November 6, 2011 at 2:27 pm | Reply gingerfightback
  
  Hello
  
  Thanks for the kind words. In answer to your question – about 17% of redheads are from Mars. You can normally spot a member of the Martian Clan Rouge by their slighly clumsy gait and love of savoury flavoured party foods. This has something to do with a spot of inter galactic argy bargy several eons ago. So your friend was partially correct. She sounds interesting. Say hello to her for me and let her know we have a charabanc departing for Olympus Mons in the New Year. Their are still a few seats available!

Thanks for checking out my new blog and “liking” my third post! In the spirit of all things ginger, I have a gingerly question for someone with a more scarlet-tinged mind than me.

Why wasn’t there ever a redhead on Charlie’s Angels?

Sabrina was a total throw-away angel, and her character would have been perfectly portrayed by a rutilus caput capitis (which actually translates to “shining head” but, you know, close enough).
- on January 3, 2012 at 9:33 am | Reply gingerfightback
  
  Hello Stacie
  
  I’m glad you have raised this point as it has vexed me for many a sleepless night. I always had a hankering that Stefanie Powers would have made a great angel. Perhaps she could have been called granny angel (on account of her advancing years – although this makes her sound like an apple) and in my opinion would have provided a depth of acting an nuanced approach to the whole show that sadly the others lacked. Her work in Hart to Hart opposite Bob Wagner (for me his portrayal of Hart was his very own Lear, dare I say, seminal) and the irony with which they petted their dog is and remains stand out television. So I am with you on that one.
  
  Best wishes and i enjoyed your blog too!

How have I not seen your blog before? I was not blessed enough to be a natural ginger so I had to get some help from a bottle, but even that’s not really ginger. And ginger/red-haired guys are hot. I mean, look at the princes—Harry is the hot one. And my first massive crush was on a ginger.

As the son of a ginger, I am the proud owner of a recessive gene. One day I hope to meet an auburn young lady who might help me exploit it for the good of the world.

Oh most definitely better a Redhead than Deadhead!

Celery is odd; organic makes my husband’s mouth fall asleep. He thinks it has an anesthetic in it. I’ve never noticed a difference.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I will have to have a poke around here. I have a ginger in my latest story; a friend and I noted that redheads are disproportionally represented in fiction, due to their distinctiveness. Then I got to thinking about redheads in my work. She was correct. But I’m not going to make them blondes.

Reading this blog has made me laugh, in the good way – so that’s good. Although unfortunately not a ginger myself, I do have a bit of a fondness for gingers (we’ll call it a fondness, fetish sounds creepy) so will be hanging round here and looking awkward for at least a little while

Gregor has been remiss in not giving you adequate props for such a fun place to hang out. He has nominated you for the rare and prestigious Eye of Yak Award, which you can collect at Gregor’s place. He also wishes you the best. When you accept the Award, Gregor wonders if you will be sufficiently kind to add a sausage in the relevant place. He would be thrilled.

Thanks for liking my post. I have three ginger step-children. They are now in their twenties, but went through hell, with a lot of anti-ginge bullying some years ago. So, well done with the Ginger Fightback, and keep going strong.
