The term "Kraft Single" was hardly a reach, and Steve U's version was quite a bit different than my approach I took. Further, I don't think Steve U is guilty of stealing or copying jokes, perhaps it's just the frequency of his comments that result in similarities between a joke of his and another. That is all. <br /><br />/Sweet site, IMG!JACOBRA ELLSBURYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-37424847767006171652012-02-10T20:43:44.870-05:002012-02-10T20:43:44.870-05:00Don't worry.

Or are you referring to DUAN? Yes, he talks about cooking a lot with some high-falutin ingredients, but that makes him one of about a dozen people who do the same. And, people keep asking for his recipes, so some must find it valuable. What are you contributing to the site?<br /><br />We get it, you are angry. And of course write whatever you want.

So I'll try to be semi-nice here. (Under my own "name," because that's the kind of guy _I_ try to be.)<br /><br />Just because a similar-- or even identical-- joke structure occurred in two separate places doesn't mean that it's a priori evidence of stealing, or even unconscious lifting. (As far as bits of knowledge go, "Bow and stern" and the fact that David Stern is an autocrat aren't exactly a patented-and-sequestered genome sequence; I'd venture to say that, in a timeless figurative vacuum, maybe a quarter of the starred populace could come up with some iteration of that joke on their own.)<br /><br />Just because Nickly's been mostly... not the sort of thing most commenters aspire to when they first strap themselves in on the basement futon, that doesn't mean that he/she is incapable of an interesting or innovative construction from time to time, and that the first time he/she makes a joke that seems like a strong echo, it's a willful theft. Synchronous thinking happens all the time-- in stand-up comedy, in technological R & D, and virtually every other realm of human creation; frankly, it's sort of stupid-- not to mention, shitty-- to automatically impute motive to something that's likely entirely accidental, or coincidental.<br /><br />Just because you pull comments and point... well, that doesn't make you Shitehawk (or StreetCheese, for that matter).StFhttp://twitter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-71642583263576266082012-02-10T15:58:44.264-05:002012-02-10T15:58:44.264-05:00Yes, they'd be less irritating if they weren&#...Yes, they'd be less irritating if they weren't in all caps. <br /><br />Yes, they'd be less irritating if you didn't call your "ANGRY STARRED ASSHOLE". <br /><br />Yes, they'd still be irritating.Sponsored by V8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-57587075941535666632012-02-10T15:48:54.139-05:002012-02-10T15:48:54.139-05:00I'll remove the caps lock.

A while back I got accused of stealing a joke that was like six months old. As obsessed as most of us are with this commenting thing, it's just impossible to remember every joke that was ever made. And, god forbid you miss a couple days and don't get caught up. <br /><br />Steve_U is a fantastic commenter, and I don't believe for a second that he did that on purpose. I'm even willing to give Nickly the benefit of the doubt, since he's just not around a lot. BoC and Steve_U coming up with the same thing isn't too surprising since they're both great commenters, but maybe it says a little more about me that a guy who is generally not too good can come up with the same thing (unless he stole it on purpose - in which case, FUCK YOU, NICKLY!)StuartScottsEyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-15369670111984521812012-02-10T14:03:38.986-05:002012-02-10T14:03:38.986-05:00HOPEFULLY THIS TEACHES A LOT OF A LESSON!
