Hey, KOAB, some of us use Ignore!

I'd remake Signs into nothing.

oh i get it. your a gimmick based on what a black person would say. No, that's Ripper. lol, defending your race

If you're saying he surrounded himself with shitty white musicians to prove a point about black superiority, that's not true. John McLaughlin, Dave Holland, all those guys were good. I think he was pretty egalitarian in terms of sidemen. "I don't care if you're black or white or purple as long as you can swing," that whole deal. Unless you're saying he forced them to literally fellate him, which is a seedy underbelly that not even this jazz band art fag knew about.

The only thing I use my writer privileges for are proofreading, anyway.

I heard Kotzenjunge is a Rothschild

It's funny that the Pit votes against me en masse. You're in good company, guys! gWIL, Nice Guy Adam...man!

No, Stern spearheaded the NBA marketing blitz. There were always very good players in the league, but they never had the same media machine behind them, and that was Stern's doing. You think he was just sitting there the whole time with his thumb up his ass or something?Of course he has something to do with the exponential growth of the NBA. Gary Bettman is the worst commissioner ever, though. Selig gets all the hate, but in light of all his bumbling, he's presided over the Great Baseball Renaissance, and he's been a big part of putting those wheels into motion. I think deep down he really cares about the game of baseball and wants to do his best, but he's just sort of a schmuck. Whereas you know Bud loves baseball, you can tell Bettman doesn't give a shit about hockey. He's one of Stern's underlings that the league imported in order to implement the same marketing magic that the NBA had, which takes us full-circle to David Stern being brilliant.

Wait, I laughed and all, but why is Porter deciding who can write4thesite?

Training regimen to take down Kanye West

I can. You're really not that good. 30some bans can't be wrong

The Pit votes early, it'll pan out just fine...right?

I've never once said "I want to watch Futurama." When I watched it, it was only as the result of a pitiful lack of willpower and rationale to do anything else better at the time.

I can't believe Leena voted for Mr. Shit-In-My-Mouth-Plz over me.

Where does Villano IV come into play?

Yeah, Wood is the longest-tenured Cub right now, but you'd never guess by games played.

YEAH-UH! FUCK YOU BRONSON ARROYO! WHAT DID YOU EVER DO FOR ME? Wily Mo can hit, but he's a human blooper reel in the outfield. Wouldn't you guys know better than most? So, uh, who's left from '04? Schilling, Ramirez, Wakefield, Nixon, Varitek? And of those guys, the only ones with significant tenures are the last three. Same deal with the '03 Cubs, Wood-Prior-Zambrano is about all that's left.

Slayer Czech

That's it, I'm outta here.

Hey, War side 1 is really good too. I don't know why, but I never really got into Bowie. I'll probably try again soon.

I dunno, we've been trying for years and still haven't gotten the hang of it

I don't think there's anything gay about saying that Sam Cassell looks like E.T.

It's in the round IV thread when he was like "enjoy making fun of me in your stupid little lives, because you will never matter" or whatever
