Parody Contest-- "All Out All Season" & "Gamer"

I am too dorky to be able to post links to the ads, but perhaps one of you can add them in a "FanCommentPostStimulusResponse" or whatever they are now.  Anyway, I will give a pair of tickets to the March 27 exhibition game vs. Seattle for the best parody of "All Out All Season" and a pair of tickets to the March 28 exhibition game vs. Oakland for the best paraody of "Gamer."  Deadline is Monday evening, as I will need to put them in the mail on Tuesday.

As with the parody contest for the All-Star logo, the standards are kind of amorphous, but obviously humor is about 90% of it, give or take 10%.

This FanPost is reader-generated, and it does not necessarily reflect the views of McCovey Chronicles. If the author uses filler to achieve the minimum word requirement, a moderator may edit the FanPost for his or her own amusement.

"All Out All Season"

The crummy old Giants take the field on Opening Day

Crawl Out, Start Wheezin'

Just get Omar to sing "It's Raining Men" with a few guys from the minor league camp dancing behind him. That should be "All Out" enough for you.

On the basis of his shirts alone, he is out enough for me.

I was in the stands :(

it was bad.

I sure wish that Ort Cloud would form a solid sphere to enter into this team's orbit.

When I first saw this

I thought that Cy Young had come back from the grave to spit in our face. Then the comments made me realize and remember that this game really happened.

my cousin and i got noah lowry's autograph after he came out of a porta-potty. he was nice about it.

Not perfect, but it'll do for now

I'm pretty sure you're missing...

...an apostrophe in "out's." But I suppose that's kind of a mute point.

All Outs All Season

Exactly what I've been telling people. Great minds. You would think that the morons in the front office would have seen us jumping on this in just this way before they put it out. Same goes for "Lamers."

Don't believe everything you think.

No..

There's too much stuff covering up the nudity. Video games after sex.

she play first? ....and do you have her number?

I don't really mind if she can play first..

I'm just wondering how fast I can slide home with her.

Gamer

Runs into walls; tastes of quail.

Found the swagger

I sure wish that Ort Cloud would form a solid sphere to enter into this team's orbit.

I don't know which this would go under...

And also this isn't official unless my dad can attend one of the games.

"This next piece features the man from Casablanca. John Paul Jones. Some say a man in his own right, others say royal orleans. This is No Swagger" *ominous organ music starts*

Close the door, put out the light
You know they won't win tonight
Gamers play hard and don't you know
The winds of the Bell are blowing cold
Their swagger, you can feel it too
Their line drives, out to the mound they flew

The rookies, they will never play
They hold no swagger
They hold no swagger
Oh...

Cain walks along with death
Lincecum walks along in step
Their pitches fly by the bats who're slow
The umpires they're howling out
Their talent though, does not get through
The wall of swagger we all knew
Their records they fail to say
They hold no swagger
They hold no swagger

OK doesn't really make sense but it's all I could come up with. And yes, I'm on a big Zeppelin binge right now.

RESULTS and congratulations and thanks

To all the McCoven,

It looks like this contest has gotten 204 "views" (are those merely number of times anyone has clicked on it -- so the 190 times Kitspool clicked on it only leaves 14 others who clicked on it-- or 204 separate people?) Anyway, it looks like the talent of our witty artisty types is a big draw in our little community. Thanks everyone who created an entry. All of them prompted just the right amount of laughter and pain.

In the category of mocking the 'Gamer' campaign, the 3/28 tix vs. the A's goes to Natto, for highlighting Steve "In De-" Kline's health regimen.

In the category of mocking the 'All Out, All Season' campaign, the 3/27 tix vs. the Mariners go to Stuttering John Tamargo for ripping the scab and pouring some tabasco-spiked salt into one of the two most painful lacerations of last year (the other was Cain's great game against the stinking rockies which the great bullpen generously handed back to the rockies).

Thanks to the McCoven for being a great community in which to hang out a bit. I'll be out of the country March 20-31, but wish you all a great equinox and a great opening day.

Anyone else think the Justice League of National is more strategic & interesting than the Justice League of America?

Foreign policy

Dear Ambassador Mayor,
Have a great time. Call when you return. I'll be at Opening Day (when the worst we can be will be 0-6).

Don't believe everything you think.

Check your e-mail. Free Giants tickets! I get to see them not score runs live and in color. Whoo-hoo!

Who said anything about color?

He is Vengeance. He is the Knight. He is Dave Righetti. PRAY TO HIM!

My only TV is a B&W set made in 1956.

I gave all my employees tix

I thought I was doing them a favor. Now I wonder if it will actually hurt morale.

Julio is tourist in San Francisco?

by hairball on Mar 19, 2008 10:38 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, I was going to make the obligatory joke...

I was going to say that first prize is a pair of tix to a Giants game; second prize is TWO pair of tix to a Giants game. But that's a hack joke... double entendre intended.

I was going to spend part of Sunday working on something for this contest, but I ended up dicking off instead.

That's been my marketing campaign for years, though. And I can say from experience that it's moderately successful, but only with my fairweather fans.

Here's my entry. S'okay, I didn't want those tickets anyway...

X-rays prove

I traded Cody Ransom for Khalil Greene in my PS2 EA Sports MLB'04 game because he sucked there too.

Lamers

This season is such an upgrade: Castillo for Feliz, Omar for Omar, Durham for Durham, Aurilla for Klesko. Don't even get me started in the outfield -- except for Aaron!

Don't believe everything you think.
