the acme approaches

shine on sweet zenith. blaze brother sun, and scorch us into new realms. graham approaches... the wind blows backwards and the trees shudder as something wicked this way comes. drunk posts appear with increasing frequency. rehashed arguments give way to meta-threads, beer discussion, birthday shoutouts, personalized baseball cards. no one cares that we have are mysteriously winning games. could this be the last days?

my vacation starts next week. i bought 6 fifths of alcohol at the store yesterday. after last night Matthew knows how to make a wicked margarita. (BTW, you left your sausage at my girlfriend's house... something i never thought i'd have to say.) i have a "welcome home" present for mighty Grey-Ham, slayer of the Persian horde. can anyone speak to the quality of Aviator Gin?

AND, it's a hundred fecking degrees outside.

i think all signs point toward an epic all-drunk thread sometime around the middle of next week. can we pick a particular game thread to ambush? maybe on the opponent's blog? anyone else feel the need to unleash the dogs of mildly self-destructive drunk-trolling? i guess i can do it by myself if necessary, but that would just be a sad case of a johnny-come-lately trying on the asshat of intox-o-posting. when you're hocking a loogie, why not shoot for the stars?

Yep, that was my problem with it. Seemed too fake.

In fact I’m pretty sure most of them were. Because I mean come on, just because you misspell some words, doesn’t mean you are drunk. And just because you’re drunk doesn’t mean you can’t spell. Most people’s vision doesn’t get THAT blurred when they are hammered and they’re not that clumsy when sitting at a keyboard.

I'm like Curious George when drunk

I get myself into situations where I am in way over my head where the only way out is to dig faster and deeper.

by Robert on Jun 29, 2008 8:35 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Also, even if you are drunk, what the fuck are you doing here anyways?

When I go out and get hammered, sitting at a computer fucking around on the internet is one of the last things I want to do.

Whenever I'm drunk, for some reason, it's of vital importance

that every possible person is made aware of that fact, including random internet people I barely know.

At school it was easy.

We’d come back from some bar in Philly and my computer would be in my room beckoning to me.

When I’m home it’s impossible because I’m never around a computer

I really don't think that's the case though

Are people really that desperate to be funny that they’d fake something like that? I don’t think guys like Graham and Robert etc. would do that, they’re plenty funny when they’re sober too so they don’t really have a reason to make complete asses of themselves unless they aren’t really intending to because they’re wasted.

I've said it before and I will say it again.

There is nothing wrong with smashed posting. Drunk posting pisses me off.

by Robert on Jun 29, 2008 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well I guess there are some uncleverer copycats out there who might fake it to be "cool"

But a lot of the drunkposts are really hilarious if they’re clearly genuine, it’s pretty easy to tell the difference between someone who is genuinely smashed and someone who isn’t.

And uncleverer is a word I just made up.

I usually don't keep alcohol in the house

but I drunk posted in the House thread

I can testify that at least Graham's and Robert's were genuine.

I’m happy enough to now confine myself to drunk texts and e-mails where they belong.

I'm pissed I didn't get a hilarious e-mail.

Though I know it’s hard when I set the bar so high.

This one is going to have arrows pointing to it

And it’s going to reappear every time Robert posts.

Case in point(kinda), the closest I've came to a drunk post was

this. Though that was more buzzed than drunk, but still pretty readable

Also, the new search rules, I’m amazed I found that.

So to reiterate my hate for most angels fanms

I was at the zoo yesteday and I saw a guy in an angels hat, but he was wearing a t-shirt that said “I am Mclobvin” and had a picture of the Mclovin driver s liscence from superbad and I wanted to tell him “YOU MAKE ME ASHAMED!:”

Hey, I just bought a t-shirt with an overt pop-cultural reference!

I could be wearing it ironically I could be wearing it because I happen to enjoy the reference in question, it’s ambiguous! While you’re deciding, I’ll just be over here, basking in my dickishness.

I know

but seeing as the M’s are bad at player evaluation, I can only hopwe that Pe4lekoudas breaks Bavasi’s “no trades in the division rule” and sells low on Beltre for someone like Adenhart or something.
