Hey, this is not the place to ...@Anonymous (again)<br /><br />Hey, this is not the place to express your animosity towards another commenter. I disagree wholeheartedly with your characterization of the commenter mentioned. And no, your comment will not be shown here, not as long as you're taking anonymous pot-shots at other commenters. Only I am allowed to do that. <br /><br />If you're anxious about being unapproved, I can understand that, but it should not translate in any way into hostility towards other commenters. No one mentioned in Thursday's roundup is guilty of anything other than misguided joke-making.The Miserable Shitehawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513330905980785417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869054609060332881.post-12697139705106994022011-07-01T09:52:08.750-04:002011-07-01T09:52:08.750-04:00@ Shitehawk: +1 for the joke, and + 1000 for the ...@ Shitehawk: +1 for the joke, and + 1000 for the reasoned argument.Same Sad Echonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869054609060332881.post-26980588810252635962011-07-01T09:44:57.755-04:002011-07-01T09:44:57.755-04:00Well, in my day, our high school squad cut cheerle...<em>Well, in my day, our high school squad cut cheerleaders who pulled up on the splits like that.

See, the obvious problem with that (if...@Anonymous<br /><br />See, the obvious problem with that (if, in fact, that is where the attempt at humor in that comment lies)is that it is yet another wholly self-referential comment. How in the hell is a Deadspin reader supposed to know what decade LBabe went to high school? That the comment is therefore useless should be glaring to anyone who follows Deadspin commenting. <br /><br />Look, if a commenter wants to make a joke out of being old, it can't be based upon the expectation that everyone knows without being told how old the commenter is. For example:<br /><br />"Well, in my day, our high school squad cut cheerleaders who pulled up on the splits like that. And by 'my day', I mean 1847. And by 'our high school squad', I mean the 1847 Truckee Lake Pioneers. And by 'cut', I mean for firewood and sustenance." <br /><br />Actually, that's a fucking great joke. <br /><br />[pats self on back]<br /><br />[goes back to eating from trash can]<br /><br />And see, the joke is "I'm old and the Donner party ate people", and it's funny for getting there in an odd, unexpected way, and it in no way relies upon anyone knowing beforehand anything about your age or history or ANYTHING ABOUT YOU AT ALL.The Miserable Shitehawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513330905980785417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869054609060332881.post-74338088057416953652011-07-01T06:45:56.274-04:002011-07-01T06:45:56.274-04:00I'm trying to figure out who you are.
