Since we can never quickly find the wiki whenever we want it, I figured it'd be good to make a Fanpost to collect random bits of info pertaining to our fair site. Let's get it started and would someone please turn off that Black Eyed Peas album?
Gameday Thread stuff
- On Matt Cain starts, you will likely see many posts chastising Cain for his lack of ability. Do not be alarmed. This is all part of a reverse jinx ploy that started back in 2006. We really think Cain is awesome. At least I do anyway.
- When a Giants pitcher gets a strikeout, you'll likely see me post one of two images, this:
or this:
The former represents strikeouts swinging and is Korean singer/songwriter K who is a pop star in Japan and Korea. The latter represents strikeouts looking and is Agent Kay from Men In Black (because the batter didn't see the pitch like no one can see the MiB). Sometimes I'll use different pictures of the two, but they'll still be K and Kay.
- For Giants victories, we have an animated gif of 555 95472 (or 5 for short) from Peanuts.
The dance is from the Peanuts Christmas special. 5 was introduced back in 2006 as a way of celebrating Giants wins and has been used ever since. Charles Schulz was a big Giants fan, beginning from his days in Minnesota when the Giants had a minor league team there all the way to his days after he moved to the Bay Area. Thus, it's rather fitting that we incorporate one of his characters into our site. It's pretty convenient that 5 happens to be wearing orange and black. Also 95472 happens to be the zip code for Sebastopol. And yes, he can play third base (5 = third base in scoring shorthand)!
Nicknames/Player-related Jokes
- Tim Lincecum: The Enchanter - named after the Monty Python character
- Bengie Molina: B-Money - for his frequent clutch RBIs
- Pablo Sandoval: Little Money - like B-money but smaller; Paul Stanley - the English equivalent of Pablo Sandoval
- Jonathan Sanchez: Dirty - uhhh... you can look it up...
- Nate Schierholtz: Juggernate - earned after plowing over Chinese catcher Yang Yang during the Olympics
- Eliezer Alfonzo: Notgardo - for not being his cousin Edgardo
- Steve Holm: 
- character from Arrested Development; Mythbuster - for his resemblance to Adam Savage
- Omar Vizquel: Dreamy - coined by kenshin who was enchanted by Vizquel's defensive wizardry when he joined the Giants
- Jack Taschner: Secret Agent - because Jack Taschner sounds like a good name for a CTU operative, Captain Jack
- Tyler Walker: Polar bear - coined by Bruce Bochy
- Randy Winn: Dwight - Winn's full name is Dwight Randolph Winn
- Eugenio Velez: Zorak - because he shares a similar body structure with Zorak; fast black Abraham Lincoln: this is sorta self-explanatory
- Fred Lewis: Flew, Paul Bunyan - for the bunion, although I guess this will go away next season
- Angel Villalona: Anvil - The only true nickname for Villalona, it's a blend of his first and last names. It can also refer to him being as strong as anvil or something like that.
- Travis Ishikawa: Rock River - I'm the only one who uses this. "Ishi" means "rock" and "kawa" means river; Ishi the Killer - a reference to the Japanese movie Ichi the Killer.
- Aaron Rowand: Gamer, Nasty Shit - In one game, Kruk was talking about how Rowand got hit by a pitch and meant to say that he took a "nasty shot in the ribs".
- Ryan Rohlinger: Rickrohl
- Sergio Romo: Surge - coined by oldjacket; Sergio's fans are Romosexuals.
Misc Jokes
- 109: During Zito's start in Florida this season, someone asked what Zito's pitch count was. Within seconds, a flurry of replies of 109s came.
- Schierholtz at 3rd: Unfortunately, there are those who don't post it as a joke.
- lots of LOLcats
There's a lot more, but I can't be expected to do all the work for you. You lazy bums. So add on, my fellow McCoven.

Origin: jponry started saying it when the site was temporarily blitzed with posts that were honestly bemoaning how much they thought Cain sucked as a way to subvert this clearly ridiculous point of view, and it caught on.

Dancing Goofus gif – taken when one of our own esteemed (?) moderators made it on to tv doing a silly dance, which was praised by Kuiper and mocked by Krukow. Often used as a rally picture or to celebrate a win. Sometimes used several times over.
Raptor Jesus – an animated gif taken from the documentary Jesus Camp, only with the camp leader’s head replaced with a raptor head. Usually accompanies Brian Wilson’s entry into the game.
McCovey Chronicles Food Talk – a number of us are obsessed with food and feel the need to extensively discuss what we’re cooking or eating in every evening gameday thread. These discussions are usually initiated by xanthan or myself.

My contributions for now...
BANNED – Usually (and most efectively) used by a moderator/Grant when a member posts something disagreeing with a certain topic that he/she does not agree with.
Rush – Often times put down by other members (jponry!), but is posted to try and ease their burden.
Smile, this is Fun, Fun, Fun, other Beach Boys references – In reference of course to Brian Wilson, Giants closer and famous crazy Beach Boy
After seeing jcb9’s post
MCC Beer Talk – More started by myself, xanthan, and PacBellBoozer. It’s the beer we’re drinking during the game. We always make suggestions.
I like [Giants Player]. He [insert action]s for the giants – Classic but not forgotten. I think perhaps this started originally with Moises Alou hitting home runs.
THROW STRIKES [GIANTS PITCHER] – (This time don’t replace the [GIANTS PITCHER] with the actual Giants pitcher.) Carried on by Natto, probably started by him as well.

Eh..
I hate Lee’s vocals too, but Lee and Peart are both up at the top of their respective instruments, and it’s those rock songs I really like, not their ventures into concept albums ala the 2112 suite. I like the 2112 Overture and Temples of Syrinx and then the end of the suite but everything else is blah.

Read in Spin Magazine in 1985
Correlation Does Not Equal Causation
Air drumming along to Neal Pert at Rush concerts could lead to “not gettin any”. “Not gettin any” could lead to air drumming along to Neal Pert at Rush concerts. But, correlation does not equal causation. I could be that actually both air drumming along to Neal Pert at Rush concerts could lead to “not gettin any” are caused by a mysterious third factor, such as being a total dork.

The quote, by the way, originates with the Hindu god of destruction, Shiva: “I am become death, destroyer of worlds.” It was famously quoted by the Manhattan Project’s Robert Oppenheimer upon the first detonation of the atomic bomb.

A personal favorite but probably too obscure: Two strike count to an opposing hitter, with two outs in the last inning of a (usually close) game the Giants are leading, “thehavenot is standing”.

my favorite is when someone announces (with exclamations) some news that we’ve already been discussing for a while. everyone chimes in with a “did you hear the giants are calling up lincecum?” then “giants are moving to the west coast!” then “have you seen the horseless buggy?” and ending with “chulk make fire!”

Martin (obbsessivecompulsivegiantsfan). That and the “misch pun thread” might have been my two favorite moments in McC history.
Martin expresses surprise that Williams was with the A’s. Someone said it was old news and found a thread where it was previously discussed. Hilarity ensued when it was realized that Martin had actually been commenting on the thread.

Remember when Bowker came up and was really bashing? I tried to get John the Boptist or John the Battist started but he slumped and it never caught on. I also wanted Fred Lewis to the The Answer (to the future trivia quesion of who succeeded Barry Bonds), but that flopped too. I need to enroll in remedial nickname school. My favorite among the former Giant nicknames was Magellan for Todd Linden (for the circuitous routes he took to fly balls), but I can’t recall who coined it.

What’s with Kent/Seagull jokes?
What’s with the cat pics?

1) There isn’t really anything to them. It’s Kent getting attacked by seagulss.
2) You either get LOLcats or you don’t.

The seagulls weren’t happy with Kent’s opinions of SF.
