I'm going to go over the McFAQ and the FAQ II and try and whip something up. Is there anything that's missing from those two FAQs, or something that's become an inside joke since September?
For example, I want to make sure that new members know that you shouldn't write "75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 " at the end of FanPost just to get to 75 words.
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.

Porn Stache = Garret Anderson for his mustache that looks transplanted from some 70s porn movie…this is interchangeable with Cop Stache
Spicoli = Jered Weaver for his remarkable likeness to the Ridgemont Times character of that name.
I guess this means Weaver looks like Kalil Green.

It just frightens me that the A’s have a healthy online fan presence. If I had no prior knowledge about sbnation blog traffic, I would guess the A’s one would easily be in the bottom third, but nope! It’s good to see, though.

Matt Cain as a 3rd starter AT BEST
Dr. B throwing himself down the stairs at the mention of Madison Bumgarner
Randy Johnson as “The Big Ugly” is probably entirely self explanatory, but i don’t think that joke can be made too often
Busty Poser… Buster being “a monster”… keeping Buster away from Lou Seal… “Gerald”
Conor Gillaspie as “Cocky McCockerson”

maybe i'm the only one
but i still don’t see why tiny tim is unacceptable. he doesn’t die (read to the end people!), he’s the heart and soul of the story, and he overcomes a big handicap to be the awesomest spiritual character in a very spiritual story. it’s not an awful thing to call him, really, and he is quite small in stature.

obvious because it fits, yes. although i must admit, i too prefer “enchanter,” but i guess i see Tiny Tim as a suitable alternate nickname.

Hey, I was at that game!
Actually, now that I check, it wasn’t that game, it was the next day – when Benitez actually did get into the game. i should find that gameday thread – I bet it was fun. The volume of boos and amount of shit Armando got at the ballpark was UNREAL. I remember my wife was amazed to find out that all Giants fans really did hate Armando that much. She thought it was just me.

Juggernate’s shining moment still hasn’t gotten old.
"Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time."
Can anyone remember the location of another Nate Olympic photo, with a label on it saying something like “Looks like you got some freedom stains on your uniform” ??

They have a “guidelines” thing on A/N and it seems much more “rulesy” than how Grant likes to run things here. (They have a whole “three strikes and you’re banned” thing and guidelines on how strikes can be removed. Ha!)
If Grant were to post site rules, I think it would be something like:
1. Don’t be a douche
2. I know Goofus is a douche. We allow it because he’s also a retard. It doesn’t make it alright for you.
