Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


McAwards Voting: Most Amusing Poster

These guys have been nominated for the Most Amusing Poster award, but did you know that millions of people go through life every day without a sense of humor? Without levity, these people may go down the wrong path and turn to a life of crime or vacuum cleaner attachment sales. For every vote that's tallied, Grant will donate a dollar to the National Amusement Trust, an organization that helps those who have no sense of humor. Join me and the rest of the nominees to fight nosenseofhumoritis.

Comedy. It's serious business.

This is really hard

I’m leaning towards jponry, but really, all of the nominees are worthy. Tell you what – first one to make me LOL gets my vote.

GO!

Pundants have said that in this election cycle, especially with the selection of Gov. Palin as Senator McCain’s running mate, there is a certain portion of the electorate that wants to feel like they can identify with a portion of the ticket. You see this played up in Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain’s pandering to the dubious demographic of “Joe the Plumber”, et al. While I have problems with these notions and the sad cynicism from which they spring – - because this is a non-partisan sports blog that I check into to escape the news of election, financial strife, and racial divide – - that doesn’t preclude me from making my decision based on those very backward notions of perceived identification with the candidate. So how would I identify with a certain candidate in this question? How can I tell if we are truly on the same page?

Basically, all I do on this site is make dumb jokes, of which 97% (Xanthan has the numbers) fall completely flat. If I get one (non-Lars originated) laugh out of a 1000 post combined gameday, though, I consider myself a (sad and pathetic) winner. (Blog Special Olympics.) But who is laughing at those jokes??? (Other than Lars.) I have found that, in my experience, that although I have made delorean laugh on occasion, jprony has consistently shown that she is the most like me through her LOLs and FTWs and whatnot. And because jprony is the most like me, I will vote for her.

Good night, and good grief.

by satyricrash on Oct 25, 2008 1:16 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Y’all make me laugh all the time. It’s hard to pick just one.

So, in the interest of GIRL POWER!, I’ll tip my cap to jponry. I assume, of course, that’s why Natto put her on the ticket, knowing that women will just automatically vote for women.

It's my blarg! Quick Pitch

Amy G lacks the rack. Probably had trouble finding one at Home Depot, the same place Scott Munter tried to fix his busted sink.

Actually...

Only 25% of precincts have reported, so you still have time to turn it around. I think you need to play the lolcat card before thing gets out of hand.

I should start reminding everyone that the rest of these candidates have ‘Hussein’ for a middle name and pal around local terrorists.

That should score a sure, ethical, win there.

Fantastic, worthy list of people. Though four of you are going to be losers, you’re all winners in my book! You just won’t be winners in the competition.

But it has nothing to do with the competition.

Still-proud, adoptive mama of Notgardo Alfonzo, who's back from the 50-game purgatory. He promises never to do it again. I couldn't get him to promise to hit, though. We're working on that with bribes of M&Ms, kind of like potty training.

Considering her circumstances,

this vote from TK to me is worth a landslide in any other year.

It is a nomination I will cherish. Here’s smiling at you, kid.

I only included folks who were nominated more than two times.

I don’t think there is a strict rule for this. I just went with that since it seemed like a logical way to get a group of the most nominated folks.

I think the McCovey Chronicles constitution is pretty clear about this

An election result this close calls for a special two-man runoff election. Or a steel cage match.

Check out The Examined Life. Or don't. Whatever.
