MKMOT (July 18, 2012)

Well, that little experiment didn't work. To be honest, I always took you guys as asexual anyway. Just think of all the lives that could have been saved if the terrorists knew that they could find their 72 virgins right here, amirite???

Maybe if you tried a little harder, something good might happen. Apply yourselves a little bit. Why don't you start below? Chicks love the longbalog. It's open.

  3. It is with great emotion that I harken all the way back to the glory days of yore. Like June 25, 26, and 27.

    1. Imagine how many words he'll write when he discovers stuff like going outside, smelling fresh air, and boobs?

  5. Well! I enjoyed being called a "faggot" by a burner named deadspinisgay for giving CPH a +1 for his Janet Reno joke. Yes, for a +1.

    Also, I appreciate whoever dismissed it. I wish I'd noticed it in time to make it my first ever dismissal.

    Are Deadspin commenters using the dismiss option enough? I see a lot of snotty and/or terrible replies go un-dismissed every day.

    1. I have a hard time dismissing someone who's making a joke in a reply. In part because even a bad, misplaced joke is leagues better than a troll and also in part because sometimes they're rolling a +1 in with the joke!

      If I ever get a "Faggot, +1", it's going to be a hard call.

    2. Didn't see it but if the doofus only reacted to your +1 he may think Vuvuzela is some kind of nasty homosexual term. That, or he may be reacting to the reference to soccer in your name because soccer is, you know, gay.

    3. Perhaps he's randomly bombing different commenters with this routine. After all, his handle is deadspinisgay, and he definitely stayed on message.

      I agree that jokes shouldn't be dismissed unless one happens to think a particular joke interferes with their own. But there've been a lot of shitty, taunting replies from burner accounts that have been allowed to stand. It's possible this bothers me more than most - I'm really, really thin-skinned - but even just as an aesthetic concern, I think it would be better if baiting comments, put-downs, and argumentative bullshit were being dismissed regularly. It paints an awfully ugly picture of what goes on in Deadspin's comments section.

      It's comments like that that will not get you invited to my exclusive bi-monthly soccer-themed costume party/pot-luck supper/me playing alone with a vast collection of stuffed animals and eating dust bunnies.

    4. Slow down there little cowpoke. I was speaking from the doofus's point of view. Kinda gettin' into this soccer stuff myself. And don't talk to me about dust bunnies in these air conditioned hermetically sealed houses we have nowadays. Back in the way back we just opened the windows and fired up the attic fan. That thing could suck dirt clods into the house. We had dust bunnies that would rip your throat out from a sitting position. Eating dust bunnies, forsooth.

  6. Heads up. Gizmodo has a famous paleontologist answering questions at 130. Potential for funny.

  7. Erg -

    I have to say that your comment to me in the JoePa vandalism post was the highlight of my day.

    Thank you.

    1. Twas naught but the truth. Feared it was a little wordy but hoped to encourage some of the new folks to not just blow past a joke because they didn't get it on the first read.

    2. Couldn't be more true either. I've learned so many things from looking up references. The existence of Esperanto probably being my favorite.

  8. Does anyone else get somewhat depressed when they don't have time to read, react, or contribute to DS/MKM/MBA?

    No, it's just me?

    Well, then, carry on.

    [Also, I've had a few too many vodkas with friendly komrades tonight and won't be up for DUAN, so you have to deal with my crazy person, maudlin comments in the meantime]

  9. "YOU PEOPLE HAD BETTER QUIT THROWING PENISES INTO THE RING, YOU ARE GOING TO PUT SOMEBODY'S EYE OUT!"

    Anybody else read it like that? It's much much better if you read it like that.

  10. I can't stop rereading the horse post and comments.

    1. That's the best one in a long while. Just picturing Tommy muttering "stupid fucking horse" has drew that me burst out laughing at many inopportune moments since yesterday.

      Also, BronzeHammer with COTY material. Absolutely brilliant.
