Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

the acme approaches (and is now vaguely recognizable behind the mist)

185307483_f2d00096f2_tiny by johnbai on

This coming Wednesday... over at Bluebird Blather, or whatever they call themselves... let's invade their game thread. Washburn is pitching for us... which ought to be worth about 200 posts alone. Let's lose in spectacular style.

Their average diary only gets about 4-5 responses. So let's blow their minds with a 600 comment debauched revelry complete with inside jokes, MS Paint versions of Washburn hitting on 14 year old ballgirls, and photoshopped versions of JP Ricciardi wearing a KKK hat surrounded by scrappy white players.

Plus we can offer to trade Geoff Baker back to them for Roy Halladay.

*WARNING* Please do not sully Jeff Sullivan's good name or the fair city of Seattle by venting actually racist or misogynistic rants. Drunk posts are not an excuse to be an asshole.

Speaking of low standards
the default is 5 recommendations, but I’ve lowered it to 3. Does that seem reasonable? (I considered making it 2) I figure if that results in us having too many recommended fanposts, we can always adjust it up.

Some suggestions for tomorrow:

Avoid any mention of Hitler or Nazis. That really isn’t funny in Canada. Afterall, we’re trying to amuse and delight them as much as blow their minds. If they wind up feeling like we’re a bunch of fucktards, it isn’t nearly as cool.

Also avoid using memes that are only funny to LL readers… they probably won’t get those jokes.

Definitely use lots of photoshop and MSPaint imagery… that stuff will impress them with the level of your fanhood.

Avoid any talk about LL elections… boring and stupid.

Avoid photoshops of Robert looking like a big gay eagle… instead create photoshops of Scutaro looking like a big gay eagle… that’s much better.

We need lots of recs so we get plenty of green comments. They’ll never live down one of us being their all time recs leader!!

Let’s look for more opportunities to spread our love to other poorly attended sports blogs in our SBN2 world.
