Apparently I'm going to have to go through that article, line by line, and explain exactly why it's funny. Because, really, it's hilarious. Just... alright, I'll do it tomorrow, but start with the first line:"Depending on who you talk to, the Los Angeles Dodgers this year are no laughing matter or a laughingstock."THAT WAS PUBLISHED AT ESPN.COM"Depending on who you talk to..."What? So let me get this straight: you're undermining the second clause of your first sentence of the article in the first clause of the first sentence? Six words in, and you're already saying, "Honestly guys, I really don't care about this, any of this, at all. I'm drunk -- I was at the game! -- and I didn't realize I had to write a blurb until my editor called me at 2AM demanding I get something in. Also, I don't even work for the Associated Press. I got a new phone number a few weeks back, and apparently the last guy was a writer so I'm like 'Hell yeah I can write and shit!'""...the Los Angeles Dodgers this year..."1) Awkward structure2) What other Dodgers team would you be talking about? Is there a chance, if you didn't specify that you're referring to this year's Dodgers, some reader might think you're referring to the 1938 Brooklyn Dodgers? "...are no laughing matter or a laughing stock."1) What?2) No, really, what? What...? Just... what are you talking about? Please read that again, out loud, until your ears demand that your brain fill them in with candle wax.3) Awkward structure4) YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL WRITERThat's just the first sentence.

wow do you always try this hard to be funny?I'm kind of new here but all I know about you for sure is you recently got out of prison, and act like you understand logic (blog forum). Why are you trying so hard? You must be a lib. Here's a hint for you.......... you aren't as funny or as smart as you think you are. not by a long shot buddy.

Having Beans posting regularly and Wang semi-regularly again makes me happy.

I agree. In fact, depending on who you talk to, Tactical Bear in this thread is no laughing matter or a laughingstock.

Missed this earlier. (Hat tip.)On another note, I've never understood the sentiment behind "you are trying too hard." "Do you always try this hard to be funny?"Well, usually I try harder, but generally: yes, I do try hard to be funny. I fail to see the problem with that. Being funny is difficult, and if it means I have to spend time working at it -- trying out new approaches; reading funny writers; deconstructing humor so I understand what, exactly, is funny to me, as well as why; constantly editing and rewriting until I'm satisfied -- then that's what I'll do. Why should there be any shame in that? If I were a total failure -- I mean, if I were trying and trying and trying and seeing no results, no improvement, getting no positive feedback -- yet I continued to actively fail my ass off, then yeah, that lack of self-awareness would be embarrassing, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case. Also I am engaging a joke account what is wrong with me?

[Roll the Bones]

Hey,I know who that Usher guy is! He's the dude that was on American Idol a couple times! I didn't understand what was funny about him taking a kids baseball though.

You're the joke buddy. not the funny kind. Stop trying so hard, okay?

[El Guapo]

My son walked by me about an hour ago singing; "Flip Flip Fliapdelphia, Flip Flip, Flipadelphia" as awesome as that is, I don't think that is a good thing.

guapy jr. sounds like a legend in the making.

I don't think I've ever written this phrase before, probably because I hate it, but it's too appropriate not to use: epic fail.

Wait, you know this girl? I assumed she was someone you had never seen before and would never see again. But I guess everyone's related down there...

It's not a joke account, it's a joke account. Pretty sure you said that wrong in your head. And of course it's Silent Snow, still upset at being out-logicked, or whatever the hell happened in that thread. Oh fuck. I just looked back, and I'm pretty sure it is a joke account. Whatever, I'll just leave my initial response, because my hat's off to whoever got me.

no that was the first time I met her. figured it out via facebook snoopage.I'm hungry and I want a pizza. stick that in your hat and smoke it!

[Sickinfo2]

Couple things...The joke account sucks. Obviously it isn't me. I love Wang in a totally semi-gay way, afterall...Guap is so similar to me that it's pitiful. He just needs to endure ten more years of marriage. I'm guessing here, but probably closer than we both want to admitIt's a good thing that shake doesn't live in a big city/Vegas...The poor guy would be a TOTAl degenerate. Take this as a compliment my good friendWell,my visit here has concluded. I lost money. Not as much as Clark, thankfully. I'm hanging out at NLV until the family gets here. Wish me a safe flight and I'll see you guys later. It's a damn good thing that I taught the kid to fly. I'm getting too old for this shitAdios,'Amigos...

[Sickinfo2]

Ya know what's weird?Well, other than posting this from a gas station playing video poker while waiting for the family to show up... And omitting the cashiers puzzling look at the guy playing with his phone while drinking beer at the machines?Anyway , a mortal enemy of mine passAed away this week. I hated the bastard with a passion for doing me and my family wrong several times over the years. I always said that I'd piss on his grave when the time cameWell, the time is here but all I feel is remorse. Not that I did anything wrong, other than maybe overreact. I dunno. What the hell, the guy is dead now. Am I happy about it? No. I probably should have buried the hatchet or something. His family surely loved the guy and are in great pain right nowLesson?Beans is a shitass...and life is too short to hold a grudgeThis odd post brought to you by Terribles gas station, boredom, intoxicated weird guy, and a tardy familyI've held four to a straight flush since starting this ramble. Nope, I won't hit it

[vbnautilus]

I mean, you're still pissing on his grave though, right?

Is this the go to move around here when you can't disagree with someone using actual arguments? Well, whatever. and actually you're the joke buddy. and you probably have as much space between your ears as you do between your sentences. lol

[ShakeZuma]

that's weird, they don't look tardy!personally I think life is way too long to not hate people, even if they're dead. of course I'm a soul-less sociopath who is hated by nearly everyone not directly sharing my dna, but still.

[SBriand]

Joke account? More like a faggot account.AMIRITE?I wasn't really trying that hard.Hey Randy, your Bengals look awesome.
