I really hope that the M's plan to use Silva as Johan bait makes it the Mainstream Media

Cause holy fuck that was retarded.

Somehow out of all the retarded things that they have done this sticks out

by Robert on Sep 15, 2008 1:20 AM PDT up reply actions

Like a bright shiny retarded quarter in a sea of dull retard pennies

Or a series of retarded nesting dolls in which the very last one is actually a retard jack in box that punches you in your nuts

My favorite comments are always the ones that create the best visuals in my mind.

And this is awesome.

At least having your hopes and dreams crushed once again inspires you to be hilarious.

I'll shut up lest you ban me like you banned butthol.

Where's the alt text?!

?

by Matthew on Sep 15, 2008 1:46 PM PDT up reply actions

In XKCD

all the comics have alt text, most of which completes the joke.

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

by bluemax on Sep 15, 2008 1:59 PM PDT up reply actions

When I first discovered XKCD I read every comic until the most recent one at the time. I didn't discover the alt text till about halfway through.

So I had to go back and read them again. That sucked.

"All I’ve ever done is be Juan Pierre when I wear this jersey. They’re sticking it to me this year for whatever reason. "

When I first viewed them half of the text was cut out.

by Mariner John on Sep 15, 2008 2:47 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm aware of that.

My version also has alt text. Hence the ?

by Matthew on Sep 15, 2008 2:11 PM PDT up reply actions

I have no idea

by Dewey N on Sep 15, 2008 3:32 PM PDT up reply actions

Heh! Never heard of this cartoon before, glad you mentioned the alt text.

I've decided to jump onto the Bluejackets bandwagon before anyone else even knows such wagon exists

by Dewey N on Sep 15, 2008 1:19 PM PDT up reply actions

Isbister way of trying to get on my nerves for the other six months of the year?

I don't understand why this would get on your nerves. It's a Mariners blog.

Now if Kuroda Senators blog I think it’d be different

Say hi to my buddy Ryan

He’ll be the only other guy on the bandwagon.

At least this is not a LLemming move.

I ALREADY EXPLAINED MY LONG, EXHAUSTIVE AND EXCEPTIONALLY UNBIASED CRITIA FOR FINDING MY TEAM

Now I just don't like your reasons.

Ottawa's canals are so much cooler than the shitty Long Island streets of my youth.

Acceptable.

I'm on the Sharks bandwagon.

Because if no one in San Jose cares at least I will.

by Mariner John on Sep 15, 2008 2:48 PM PDT up reply actions

I almost did last year

But decided against it because what in the fuck is a Bluejacket

A Shawnee chief.

Huh

Well, too late now, I’m a Flamer

That's for damn sure

by Jeff Sullivan on Sep 15, 2008 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions

Yes but thats wrong

The name “Blue Jackets” was chosen to celebrate “patriotism, pride, and the rich Civil War history in the state of Ohio and city of Columbus.”57 When President Abraham Lincoln requested that Ohio raise ten regiments at the outbreak of the Civil War, the state responded by raising a total of 23 volunteer infantry regiments for three months of service. Ohio also produced a number of great Civil War figures, including William Tecumseh Sherman, Ulysses S. Grant, Philip Sheridan, and George Custer. Columbus itself was host to large military bases, Camp Chase and Camp Thomas, which saw hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers and thousands of Confederate prisoners during the Civil War.

Do they even count?

The road to hell is paved with Mariners.

Go Kings GO

I totally have not been paying attention and only recently found out Cammalleri is on the Flames now.

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

by bluemax on Sep 15, 2008 2:00 PM PDT up reply actions

GO FLAMES GO

I also have not been paying attention and only recently found out Bertuzzi is on the Flames now. >:(

by Nick S on Sep 15, 2008 3:00 PM PDT up reply actions

Which allows me the freedom to say go Canucks go....

and not feel like a shitty human being.

by marc w on Sep 15, 2008 4:04 PM PDT up reply actions

I second this one.

At least we can agree here…and I will not say anything about soccer until tomorrow.

I can't wait till January when the Sens are 25 points back

And Jeff, Graham and Nick are all laughing at us for being a bunch of suckers.

by Robert on Sep 15, 2008 2:24 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm way ahead of you.

In retrospect

A team’s historical fulitilty should not have a postive in my search for a team.

Frankly, I miss the cold feeling of despair during those winter months.

by Matthew on Sep 15, 2008 2:57 PM PDT up reply actions

Those fuckers better not ruin this for us and make it any further than the 1st round.

by Robert on Sep 15, 2008 3:00 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm beginning to regret introducing you to my greatest love

by Jeff Sullivan on Sep 15, 2008 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions

Now you know how I feel with Graham

You wanna know when a Strasburg chant is 100% obnoxious? When your losing by 24 points and anybody that catches a pass subsequently blows out something. That’s when its 100% obnoxious.

by Robert on Sep 15, 2008 3:19 PM PDT up reply actions

Know what the M's and Seahawks have in common?

14 games to go!

There's only one truly awful player on the Seahawks roster.

He’s a gritty white guy named Brian Russell.

by BrianL on Sep 15, 2008 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions

Where Kenny Mayne would recap another 5-0 Sens loss on ESPN2 and finish the 30 second segment with, “The Flames are now 4 points back of the 6th spot in the playoffs. And Ottawa… is… the capitol of Canada.”
