MKMOT (June 13, 2012)

Man, yesterday was somewhat lacking in controversy.  A solid day, but I've gotten a bit jaded lately. So if you know any rabble-rousers, please invite them over today. There's bugles, Velveeta, and sweet gherkins for all!

Or if you insist on getting along, please use the space below to trade pleasantries. Wednesday Friendsday? I don't know. Not really my thing, but I'll leave it up to Guy Who Sets The Tone. I guess it all depends on what side of the bed he wakes up on. Me? I do a front handspring directly off of the middle. My day is made, or broken, by you. 

Determine my demeanor for me underneath this characteristically random musical moving picture, won't you? It's open.

    1. Guy Who's mom is probably all "Aww honey, those guys on the internet really don't care what you say, whether it's true, untrue, or whatever. They enjoy it, regardless of how you see it. Don't waste your breath. There are better things to get annoyed with. Now please take your penis out of the oatmeal."

    Well CaptainInsensible just got the day started on an interesting note.

    His comment itself is probably unnecessary and definitely passive-aggressive, but I'm not sure if it warranted a 1 week suspension. It seems kind of harsh when this gets a 1-weeker while a "[insert movie quote/clip here]" or "Eh, I wouldn't do her" just gets moved.

    Not a dig at Burke in any sense, but just a little harsh to Capt.

    1. More like "Captain Indefensible", amirite???

    2. Burke has seemed a little on edge all morning on Twitter, what with people just not getting that Bryce Harper's clown question moment might not have been spur of the moment and people taking issue with his public political statements.

    3. I've been busted down to passive from passive-aggressive and a lower rank from Captain. It's a good thing I have in my possession this list of supporters, the length of which is staggering to behold (holds up menu from local Vietnamese restaurant).

  3. I'm hoping today is the day Guy Who finally reveals how those devious bastards are forcing him to read Deadspin, MBA & this balog against his will. I'd wager it's some kind of high-level government conspiracy, which when exposed, will shake the very foundation of this great nation.

    1. Well, if his girlfriend would just stop leaving his Netscape Navigator open to those sites, he wouldn't have to get so angry. It's her fault, really.

  4. I figured it out! John Oates' entire career is just a tribute to Jim Croce's stache! It's so brilliant, it's stupid!

  5. It was cool of A Gimp Named DaveR-tard to approve someone who seemingly wandered in from Yahoo! Sports simply to correct them.

    1. Well, big shout out to the Ninja for taking care of it.


      I'm feelin' those lighters, y'all.

  6. Seems like a pretty quiet/slow day around these parts.

    If anyone else is an Adam Carolla fan and looking to kill some time, I just went back and re-listened to the podcast that he did with Drew in 2010. Here is a link for those who want it. It's a bit slow at some points, but still good for some laughs.

  7. I had forgotten that Jim Rome had baited Jim Everett back in the day; thankfully the Avon comments reminded me of that 18 times. I believe those comments can be monetized, just like the expired cat food coupons I have that have a cash value of 1/100th of a cent.

  8. Here's an idea. Don't ask questions that nobody but one person can actually answer. DUAN IS NOT AN ONLINE DIARY FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

    GAHHHHHH!

    1. But if she goes away, how we will learn about her garage door? Or her cats? Or her opinions on the Rockies' second base situation?

      Plus the jokes ... we'll all miss her jokes.

      Delete
    2. Even Wikipedia disagrees with you. "The last post each evening is tagged "DUAN" and means Deadspin Up All Night, often taking on a life of its own and featuring wildly diverse (and not necessarily related to sport) commentary."
      #1 The garage door story was funny.
      #2 I don't think I've ever posted about my cats.
      #3 The Rockies have a 2nd base situation?

      SV8 is exactly right, but I do apologize that my occasional post causes you bodily harm.

    2. This really, really tests my editorial restraint.

    3. Not mine.

      If you want to leave comments like that, Guy Who, put your name on it.

    7. For all your witticisms, Guy Who, you're just a sad troll. Your comments, while perhaps initially amusing, will be deleted. If your don't like this site, or Deadspin, don't read them.

    8. Ooh, big CJ trying to put me in my place!

      FIGHT ME!

      Delete
    9. ANY TIME.

      But just to be clear, you mean "dance fight" like in Beat It, right?

      Delete
    10. And where's the hypocrisy, guy who? I, the guy who asked for action, let it stand.

      Even though it was moronic.

      Delete
    11. Got a pm that Guy Who was trashing me here, but the comment is gone. Oh well. I *do* like garbage.

      Hey Guy Who: if there's something you'd like to say to me, log into DS and send me a pm.

    12. I tend to think that it's pronounced "Gi," like the judo uniform.

  10. I don't know if this is a big-time commenter ironically stirring up trouble, or a jealous unfunny nobody, but I think as long as he's deleted and ignored, eventually he'll cut it the fuck out.

    1. You're right, of course. Oops.

      Also, the phrase "big-time commenter" is absurdly strange sounding.

      Delete
    2. I've typed out and almost posted about a dozen angry responses this past week. It's very hard not to suggest he/they drink whatever they find under the bathroom sink.

      Anyway, you didn't get your "big-time commenter" welcome package in the mail? Huh. [pops suspenders]

      Delete
    3. So, three questions:

      1) What is the criteria for being a big-time commenter? Because I have a watch with a very large face and I occasionally comment - is that enough?

      2) Is everything under the bathroom sink bad to drink? Because that's where I keep my Pinesol and I'll be damned if that shit isn't delicious.

      3) What the hell happened up there? I thought "Guy Who" was just a bunch of people with funny image links.

    4. Guy who has watched Guy Who with ever increasing dismay for the future of our proud speciesJune 14, 2012 at 7:08 AM

      Dubai, this is one particular Guy Who (you can recognize him by his writing style, flailing hostility, and, um, the plain and evident fact that he's CI/Norbizness) who has decided to troll this site with his hatred toward pretty much everything that has anything to do with Deadspin. Which makes it a little bit weird and a slightly larger bit pathetic that he spends so much time here, and there.

      Go back to the open threads from the past couple of days if you want to see his act.

      Delete
    5. I was travelling and largely missed the open threads earlier this week - I just went back and read them. Yup, "pathetic" seems about right.

      Now aren't we all excited about PowWow giving him the opportunity to endlessly torment us on the real site?
