Let's Call the Whole Thing Off

PrintA wise man once said that one rotten apple spoils the whole bunch, and I think last night we all learned that this is true. Those poor guy at Bluebird Banter didn't deserve a massive .jpeg attack, and now an invasion just doesn't seem right. I might, and I encourage others, to stop by there and chat with them for a while, just to help their loneliness. But our good(?) name over here at LL has been tarnished, and going over there now would only make it worse.
If anyone has any suggestions on any other blogs we could go to, that'd be great Fun fact unrelated to my need for more words: In a group of 45 people, there's a 95% chance that two share a birthday

Are you sure?
rincewind, Hugo and their 12 lurkers probably haven’t even seen that. They probably don’t even realize that PhilSebbenKen is ours.
I still think it would be a bright light in their dim SBN lives. Nevertheless, not my call to make.
As for another potential LL invasion
Twinkie Town is the least populated blog remaining on our schedule. We have three series with them, I’d suggest one of the games where our crappy starters are going (preferrably Silva for the tie-in).
I just think you're full of shit

What a douche he was/is.
I lost all respect for him as a person.
I just read a couple threads where it's just Rincewood
and that shit makes me crack up like nobodies business. It’s so sad it’s funny.
My question
if rincewood is the only admin, and if he is the only regular in the gamethread, and the site is 99% gamethreads,...
WHY IS HUGO POSTING THE GAMETHREADS SERIOUSLY WTF???

How has that site not gotten more posters over the years?

I don't know. But it cracked me up when
Rincewood said in one thread, “alone again huh?”
This killed me.

Haha sure. Wouldn't be the first time.
People spend a few bucks on a ticket and then think they can say whatever they want.
How do you say
“STOP BEING SO TALL!!!” in Dutch?
So what the hell happened to PhilSebbenKen?
Does he suffer a massive brain hemorrhage?
He just snapped, out of the blue.
For those of us that weren't, and don't have the time to go read the entire game thread over there,
what happened?
AKA "BRO-RAY" according to drunk Graham...
Did he just go ballistic or what?
AKA "BRO-RAY" according to drunk Graham...
Strange.
AKA "BRO-RAY" according to drunk Graham...
Oh good Lord.
I just went over there and checked it out. What the hell dude?!? It wasn’t even funny after the Zoidberg pic.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That’s great stuff, JI.

So did they bring up "BELTRE NEEDS TO AIM WHERE HE HITS TEH BALL BETTER"
when you brought up LD% and BABIP?
This is turning odd.

They'll never understand what they're missing.
They’re so caught up in their blind Beltre hatred they can’t even see that he’s tied with A-Rod for home runs by an AL 3B despite the fact he plays at Safeco.
When he asked about Longoria's play from his knees
I was tempted to ask if he saw Beltre’s home run from his knees.

Fools.
They fail to comprehend the doom that their blasphemy shall bring upon them.
I'm all for hanging out there and chatting with them a bit to be friendly
I can’t imagine they’re too upset with the JPEG tomfoolery, as inexplicably dumb as it was.
They're probably just really, really confused by it

Whoa, I was temp banned along with him for posting there
—hope I’m not being classified in his group.
To be fair,I didn’t know of this planned “mindfuck” on bluebird banter. I only posted intermittently or not at all in the last gamethreads.
But then again, I didn’t go crazy afterwards and then drop a drama bomb after the fact.

If so, will there be some kind of code word when the invasion starts? Also, I would recommend everyone be civil. Maybe our mods can’t ban you from the Blue Jays blog, but they can remember what you did and punish you here.

I suppose I should go read about it and see how bad it was. And determine just who I’m talking about when I say, “You fuckwads.”
Well, I’m going out to dinner, but I’ll be drunk and actively posting at 7ish. I’ll invade by myself if necessary.

Agreed.

It betrays a basic
desire on the poster’s part to “be edgy” in a “Hitler kind of way.” Which really isn’t funny beyond the initial posting. After that, it’s just kinda creepy because it looks like the poster just likes seeing pictures of Hitler all over the place.
It's just a call back to skorboo calling Jeff a Nazi
and it’s an epic photoshop
I never thought it was edgy at all.
