I didn't realize asking a question was taking things seriously

it was a question. One question, with no ‘tone’ or attitude to it. What’s with this overtly defensive stance? One, 5 word question. Not loaded. A point of curiosity. No one took anything seriously.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 18, 2008 10:24 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well

not answering a legitimately curious question, and instead slandering the questioner is essentially the definition of defensive.

At least I know how outsiders are treated around here…if they dare show any curiosity at all, just bomb the hell out of them. Bang up job, hospitality crew.

I've blogged more than enough

to know when I’m “defeated.” All I wanted to know, without any snide connotation, or ill-will, what he legitimately meant. That’s it. I don’t generally take shit seriously, but I just wanted an answer from the party I addressed. Nothing more, nothing less.

My version of not taking shit seriously is just not talking to someone to begin with if I had no reason to reply to them. Obviously, your approach is more…abrasive. Cheers, sailor.

Smartass?

Really? I didn’t know you were an expert on intention. Read my question again, why not? Five words. Five…to address a curious comment on a blog that, regardless of my join date, I have read almost daily. No, the 110 loss comment obviously wasn’t serious. But given the beliefs of baseball fans in general (believe me, I’ve been a an long enough to insist that certain teams I hate just are ‘lucky’), I can see how the ‘lucky’ part might be true. Some people, despite your apparently jaded existence, are capable of asking questions without trying to be a dick. Which is what you should perhaps consider as a possibility rather than assuming the worst of someone based on a whole five words.

I can be a smartass in 5 words just as good as 5 paragraphs

I’m sure you can too. And by that question you are clearly trying to start an argument over whether the Angels have been lucky so far this season or not with fans of the opposing team, where else did you expect this line of questioning to go?

Judging by the Angels offensive output so far, and everything that same offense has done in the past, you can make a pretty good case for saying they’ve been pretty lucky thus far. Is that what you wanted to hear?

by OlSalty on Apr 18, 2008 10:40 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Really?

funny that you know my intentions better than another.

As I said already, I frequently grasp at straws to try to justify a hated team’s success as being a mere product of luck. I do it a lot…in fact, I do it constantly.

That being the case, I had a legitimate curiosity as to how that plays out for whoever the hell made the initial comment. Nothing more, nothing less.

And factoring in the addition of Torii Hunter, the maturation of Kendrick, Kotchman, and Napoli, and considering that they currently average 5.1 runs per game, which is less than last year, I’m not sure I buy that analysis, no.

Why must you take this seriously?

I stopped taking the rest of you seriously

but ‘OlSalty’ has proven himself an exception in that he clearly does think that I was trying to be a dick. Regardless of ‘GTE,’ I feel it fair that I give a rational context to my remarks so that he understands what I meant to not be a dick comment.

If I actually had meant to be a dick, I would have given it up already. The rest of you, I’ve gotten over…he, on the other hand, is as serious as I am, and any contrary insistences are just a lie.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 18, 2008 11:04 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I was just trying to explain why people jumped on you

When we normally don’t. It is a pretty suspect question to be asking right after a loss, you have to understand that. If that wasn’t your intention, fine, no big whoop.

by OlSalty on Apr 18, 2008 11:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'll be fair actually

99.9% of my internet life is spent being a dick, and that’s my fault. But given that no one here probably knew that in advance of my comment, and given that I was, for once in my life, actually serious, it was more than a little frustrating that I couldn’t get across that I wasn’t trying to be an asshole.

“How have the Angels been lucky” is a loaded question when it’s posed to your competitors blog. The only “omg serious” response is “Mariners blogger A lists 10 plays that the Angels were lucky on” then “CKoD lists 10 plays the Mariners were lucky on” then it devolves into bickering.

I'll handle this

1) GTE. I trust you have become familiar with the term

2) The perception (note: perception) is that the Angels tend to get an awful lot of breaks and weak hits when they play us. Being that the only time we really watch the Angels is when they play the Mariners, we don’t see all the times the luck evens out, so they just come off as being a lucky team

A link was posted above

but long story short, GTE = Game Thread Emotion. During and immediately following games, people here tend to make really irrational comments and arguments for which, under LL law, they cannot be held responsible.

Ordinarily GTE only extends to 10 minutes following the final out, but considering the nature of the final out today, I’m granting an extension.

that was just funny, because it shouldn’t have been physically possible. The second best moment of that series was Tim Salmon hitting the gamewinning 2-run shot in Game 2. Because say what you want about Eckstein or “Player A,” Tim had EARNED that shit.

What makes AK’s even better though, is realizing that the pitcher he did that to was a young Johan Santana.

I came across an old picture of me yesterday

I had this weird expression on my face. I had to ask a friend what it was, but I didn’t recognize his answer. Do you know what smiling is?

the only thing that’ll make up for it is if we win the next two games 18-1 each

Actually...

Per the post-game show news, we should kill the person who rear-ended Hunter in his brand new Bentley…

Ichiro had made that diving catch…none of this would have happened.

I’m going outside for a barbeque

I'm going to

smoke a couple pork shoulder (as well as other things) tommorow. It’ll just take longer.

I'm going to play Mass Effect now.

Console myself with some hot, steamy Alien-Lesbian action.

I was considering going to Dantes

And now I think I’m going to play a video game and/or kill myself.

...and now I'm here

Well if you're not going to kill yourself

Might I suggest you try The Longest Journey? Brilliant PC adventure game.

by BrianL on Apr 18, 2008 10:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not much of a PC gamer.

I’m not much of a gamer at all. I may break out some SSB Melee. Also, Star Wars Battlefront II is appropriately mind numbing.

...and now I'm here

Go with Oblivion.

It’s the quickest way to a true nerdgasm.

by Liebkartoffel on Apr 18, 2008 10:24 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not actually a nerd.

And I take that as a personal insult to myself, not a defensive statement. I should be, I’d like to be, I’ve just never been able to do it.

...and now I'm here

You don't need to me a nerd

to have a nerdgasm, just shame.

I'm also a narcissist.

But I’ll check it out.

Anyone know...

of any sites where one can go and watch some TV Shows….

The kind of site that is most likely hosted outside of the US?

I know they’re out there I just forgot the URLs.

Oops sorry, maybe they changed it again

One sec I’ll try to find the right url, it’s much better than tv-links….

Yup, they changed it, here’s the new address

Trust me, go to this one

It makes tv-links look like a pile of dead babies

I can't remember why now, but I have the wikipedia page

for “fuck” open on another tab. It’s hilariously long.

This points to a possible etymology where Common Germanic fuk–, by reverse application of Grimm’s law, would have as its most likely Indo-European ancestor *pug–, which appears in Latin and Greek words meaning “fight” and “fist” (cf. the Latin-derived English words pugnacious = “combative”, and pugilist = “fighter, boxer”). In early Proto-Germanic the word was likely used at first as a slang or euphemistic replacement for an older word for intercourse, and then became the usual word for intercourse.
